In addition to being a great reformer who would bring law and order in a scenario of cultural decay after the War of Wrath, I think Sauron saw himself as a Promethean figure who would lift Humanity out of cultural prehistory and technological ignorance: The Silmarillion says that the men of the East and South built cities of stone and had access to metallurgical knowledge. And bringing economic benefits: he proved himself a good economist in Númenor by multiplying the Island's wealth. Furthermore, he had to see himself as a deity of a great world unification: a single theocratic government, a technocratic political-economic system and a religious reformer to bring true belief through dogmatic ideas. This religious engineering reminds me (in some ways) of Gnosticism: a liberating god (Melkor) to rid rational beings of "Archons" (Valar) from a "Demiurgic monster" (Eru) who imprisoned everyone in a world of war and death. Interesting that Sauron spoke this of Melkor in the Second Age, but later he claimed to be Melkor in the Third Age.

True its a terrible serie, doesn't feel like Tolkien or lotr feels like Amazon trash. Everything is too crazy black dwarfs and black elves. If they want to show race show the haradim or create a faction of Africans, its just not lotr and Tolkien at all and just terrible
I'm sorry but you are so wrong. Sauron was Princess Galadriels boyfriend, who wouldn't put a ring on her finger so they had an arguement, so he made her three rings instead, but she still wasn't happy. Amazon have just made a documentary about it.
The epic tale of Sauron is beautifully encapsulated in the ancient song from the Southlands. "Sauron and Galadriel sitting in a tree, Kay Eye Ess Ess Eye En Gee"
Okay that is a bit different from how i remember the lore... First of Sauron didn´t forge the 19 rings for humans, elves and Dwarfs that wasn´t his plan at the beginning. At the start he only wanted to corrupt the elves and the three rings where forged without the assistance of Sauron, so technically he didn´t forge those. It was only after he recaptured the 16 rings that he distributed them amongst humans and dwarfs. Also Gil-Galad and Elendil killed Sauron in battle, and Isildur cut of the ring from the dead body of Sauron claiming it as weregild for his dead father. The elves advised against this, but there was no "cast it into the fire, destroy it!", at most it was "we don´t think taking the ring is a good idea." But nothing else. Also the disembodied spirit of Sauron did NOT flee back to Mordor... it went to Mirkwood where it would later become the necromancer. Also Sauron DID have a body, Gollum has seen it, he mentions in a conversation between him Frodo and Sam that the Black Lord only has four fingers on one of his hands, but that it was enough. So Sauron DID have a physical body at the time. Also slight nitpick you show the Peter Jackson version of the Balrog... but that´s not how it looked in the books, there it was more described that a man shaped thing about the same height as a man, but wreathed in fire and shadow and that Terror and fear went before it.
i am not that much of a LOTR nerd, but i don't really understand why everyone hates the rings of power. my father introduced me to the hobbit, which i read, and i am currently reading the lord of the rings trilogy. I know there are some inconsistencies, but I don't understand what's so wrong with it. Can you please explain why?
@@plutoniumfartblade "some inconsistencies", people hate it cause there is nothing in common between it and any tolkien's work, its a standalone work written by different writers, even hobbit was based on "The hobbit" book, amazon just slapped in "LOTR" title for PR, its like someone writing a completely different story using names from GOT franchise and slap in GOT tag for sales, its literally a scam.
@@niks660097your comment completely explains how you literally know nothing about Tolkiens writings or the second age of ME, THE LORD OF THE RINGS is literally implying sauron, during the second age there is only one major character that is sauron himself obviously the show will be titled after him and also uniting the IP. And nah buddy you are absolutely in no position to say that the show reflects nothing tolkien. The entire story of Galadriel trying to seek validation by seeking revenge on sauron completely reflects her entire arc from late second age to the third age when she wants to go to valinor
Awesome video! Just a small correction! Sauron did not need the One Ring to regain his physical form in the Third Age, as he already had his physical form back by the time of TLotR. Gollum mentions this (besides, a ring wouldn’t much much good without a hand to wield it!) He was content (and a bit nervous), to not make the mistake of coming out of Bara-Dur again, which is why when Aragorn demanded he come out, he simply let his armies and the Mouth of Sauron do his negotiating/fighting. The amazing films led to the misconception that Sauron had no body and was just a floating eyeball, which many not understanding that Saruman was either mistaken, or intentionally lying Gandalf to buy himself more time to find the Ring himself. Regardless, it’s a small thing, and the video was amazing! 🙂
This is great, just one correction. Elendil and Gil Galad are the ones who defeat Sauron at the Last Alliance. Sauron burns Gil Galad alive with the heat of his hand and Elendil is slain as well, but not before they first both take Sauron down and severely weaken him. Isildur then uses Narsil to just cut the ring off Sauron’s hand. He doesn’t actually defeat Sauron himself
And also Tolkien clarified it that Sauron was in a greatly weakened and diminished state so his physical body became vulnerable to the mortals. Otherwise even Manwe's(the most powerful Valar) fiery lightning bolt couldn't even harm Sauron's physical being in Numenor. So it was all Eru's work
Tolkien estate didn't allow them only a handful of lines and unfamiliar excerpt from the book that was given to them as rights from there they had to create stories and events that didn't or wasn't on the book under the consultation and approval of Simon Tolkien himself..
Sauron is so cool! I hope the writers don't ruin this awesome villain in The Rings of Power. I hope the writers don't ruin this awesome villain in The Rings of Power.
This vid pops out after I finishing Middle Earth Shadow Of War game. Man, the storyy really make me goosebump. I watched the movie also inclusing the Hobbit trilogy (I wanted read the novel but still no version for my language). I think Sauron was one of the greatest enemy (in pop culture) and brilliant strategist. He managed to deceived many Man and waged war for thousand years. From the game I learned Talion want to destroy Sauron for good, he didn't want Celebrimbor or other Man become Sauron itself, just because they want dominate each other. Talion sacrifice so much and he willingly to become Nazgul to prevent other Ring bearer to dominate Sauron. He believes when the times comes, there's a real hero that really continue his mission to truly destroy Sauron for good. which in this case Bilbo Baggins. and from that he finally can go into the afterlife for good
he is known by many names.......including Halbrand in Rings of Farce I think an important element skipped over was that Sauron was not 100% responsible for the fall of Numenor. Over the centuries, starting with the king who first sent his armies to fight Sauron,, the Numenoreans slowly grew jealous of the elves to the point of that they had ended their ancient alliance with the Elves. by the time Sauron had surrendered to them. What Sauron did was use their desire for immorality to convince them to go attack the land Valar.
It’s truly a testament to the human imagination that Professor Tolkien was able to weave such a unique world. Even with the Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian influences
This story is not entirely accurate. First off the elven rings were made in secret by Celebrimbor and that’s why Sauron had no control over the three rings the elves had. Second, Sauron couldn’t control the dwarves because they have a natural resistance to the rings, it only made them more greedy. Also when Sauron went away for 1000 years he was hiding from Eru and the valar. After one thousand years he took over Morgoths place because he thought they would not look for him. Little did he know they sent other maiar like Sauron in the form of the wizards that were sent to oppose him.
I wish we saw more of Sauron. He is one of the best dark lords, yet we only see him for 10 minutes for all 3 movies, and even less in the the Hobbit. And in ROP, he never appears or fought in his dark armor and was a “good guy” for 90 percent of the series
I love the pictures you show for explain his story,looks like a comic book wow imagine if tolkien estate let LOTR and Hobbit be part of DC comics by telling his stories.
they did. the guy’s running the show had never run a show before, but they were super fans and tolkeins estate liked their story ideas the most so they were picked. You’ll find that every fan has their own idea of how things should be, and thus, when one fan gets a billion dollars to make what’s in their head as a show other fans will complain that it’s too different from what they had in their heads.
the three elven rings are made by celbrimbor alone after sauron/anathar is on his way back to mordor. only the ring of men and dwarves were made in the presence of sauron and thats why these rings can corrupt and bind you to the one ring. the elven rings were made only by saron design but he wasnt present during the forge to wheave his own lifeforce/magic in them. thats why sauron can feel the rings but not corrupt the wearers.
Thank you for the lucid explanation. Please make a similar video on Sauron's human allies- The Easterlings, The Haradrim and the Pirate Mercenaries who were stopped at Osgilliath. Especially the Easterling who are said to have been inspired by soldiers of ancient Persia and the Haradrims from African Kingdoms and Indian empires.
Some of it is. I believe their was a norse myth about a ring that corrupted the hearts of men. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were big fans of all mythologies and somewhere down the road they decided to write children's books about mythology with Christian principles.
Good work but I think at 6:45, Sauron goes to Mirkwood, not Mordor. There he is known as the Necromancer and Gandalf learns about his return in the Hobbit. I haven't read them for a while so I might be wrong.
Sauron was not taken captive after right after the war between him and Gil-Galad, the Numenoreans answered the pleas of Gil-Galad and together with Tar-Minastir, Elves and Numenoreans defeated Sauron and kicked him out of Eriador. Sauron was taken captive far later, after Ar-Pharazon caused Sauron's servants to flee, but by that point Numenor was not allied with the Elves and turned away from the Valar.
Oona and Pug Puck...their wedding/engagement ring was stolen....with other rings...and there is the Lord of the Rings....the fairy kingdoms are in danger...
Where’s the dwarfs in all this good explanation of Sauron history and I’m new to this so I’m asking questions lol first episode and I read no comments yet so I should have found out first what kind of channel this was from comments and making my own choice to subscribe or not etc lol I was late to the you tube party and I’m a lot older than I seem or look sometimes but I have a young spirit and I’ve seen LOR and all these types of genres from having a son and going to the movies a lot lol but that was yrs ago so I decided after rewatching many of the universe I need to go deeper and understand better the characters and origins etc etc so thankyou but where are the dwarfs in all this when then are in some movies but not always army’s of them and I’m super curious why they weren’t in everything in the movies either like even return of the king only one and that was one of those huge wars about fighting evil for middle earth etc I mean not books but I want to learn thankyou
I just don't get the motivation of wanting to destroy all creation. I guess it's to drive home the point that he's a bad dude, but realistically it's kind of self-defeating.
a few inaccuracies around the lore ...(example, Melkor is who Eru created him to be, he didn't turn evil, it was his nature all along)...but pretty solid video overall
This isn't exactly accurate as Elendil and Gil-galad were the ones who vanquished Sauron in battle though at the cost of their own lives with Isildur cutting the Ring from his defeated body.
It would be dope if the next doom game had a lord of the ring Easter egg. A Secret portal after going through it it takes you to Mount doom. And while there you find the one ring laying on a rock or something.
I dont understand. If Sauron made all the rings, why would he needed to find the One Ring in order to rule? Isn't he supposed to be stronger than the One Ring if he made it anyway? It doesnt makes any sense to me or am i missing something?
I know, its an old comment, you might already read the answer, but in case you haven't yet, here's the answer: Sauron basicly learned from the approach of his master. Where his master attempted to use his fëa (essence-soul-mind so to say) to corrupt everything and everyone to a point where he became part of humanity's very nature. (In fact its source of fear and evil) Sauron however did not want mindless destruction but rather control. This is why he did not want to "spread" himself with this technique. He therefore created one very small object containing that fëa and then casting a binding spell onto other objects. That strategy turned out very well for him, since humans in particular often have very centralized political systems, where a few mighty individuals exercise control over many. Give that individual a Ring to control him, and all of his people fall under Sauron's control too.
You don't really see him too much, but when you do, it's always a terrifying scene to see, also you feel his malice and evil presence all the time.

the three elven rings are made by celbrimbor alone after sauron/anathar is on his way back to mordor.
only the ring of men and dwarves were made in the presence of sauron and thats why these rings can corrupt and bind you to the one ring.
the elven rings were made only by saron design but he wasnt present during the forge to wheave his own lifeforce/magic in them.

Where’s the dwarfs in all this good explanation of Sauron history and I’m new to this so I’m asking questions lol first episode and I read no comments yet so I should have found out first what kind of channel this was from comments and making my own choice to subscribe or not etc lol I was late to the you tube party and I’m a lot older than I seem or look sometimes but I have a young spirit and I’ve seen LOR and all these types of genres from having a son and going to the movies a lot lol but that was yrs ago so I decided after rewatching many of the universe I need to go deeper and understand better the characters and origins etc etc so thankyou but where are the dwarfs in all this when then are in some movies but not always army’s of them and I’m super curious why they weren’t in everything in the movies either like even return of the king only one and that was one of those huge wars about fighting evil for middle earth etc I mean not books but I want to learn thankyou
Lotr starts at 6:10
Now i understand the movie
After so many yrs
Do melkor and mamwe and the other valar!
I like this. Better then the expensive Fanfic Rings of Power.
I just don't get the motivation of wanting to destroy all creation. I guess it's to drive home the point that he's a bad dude, but realistically it's kind of self-defeating.
Basically to shove it to the gods of Lotr. See their creation suffer or snuffed from existence
He wants to rule and create, but because it is not possible, he wants to destroy everything in spite... It feels quite mythological.
@@JonathanGhost42 it is. Scourge the earth mentality
@Ferdi Kılınç™🔥 So Melkor was a sad little emo? Did he wear skinny jeans too?
@Ferdi Kılınç™🔥 Did he cut himself? lol
Zeus favorite son has to be Hercules.
Best explanation ❤
a few inaccuracies around the lore ...(example, Melkor is who Eru created him to be, he didn't turn evil, it was his nature all along)...but pretty solid video overall
This isn't exactly accurate as Elendil and Gil-galad were the ones who vanquished Sauron in battle though at the cost of their own lives with Isildur cutting the Ring from his defeated body.
Thank you so much for summarising this.
I have A question: If Hera haven't married Zeus;who would she have married ?
I don’t know. Poseidon is crazy, Hades is too gloomy, and Greek gods in general are jerks
@@veronicapiccinini7956 I think Hera would just take the first handsome mortal and make him her husband.
@MacoJacko So(...) Instead of marrying Zeus in this alternative timeline she marry(...) Zeus-light.
I really Love Comic-Like Animations...
Good will always Prevail over evil in the end.
thats so cool
Sauron sounds like Lucifer, but was corrupted even more so by another evil. They should've added that to the movies.
Plus how he first appeared as a friend with a fair face to deceive his foes. Also somewhat how Lucifer would appear. A cool little detail.
Morgoth actually resembles to lucifer far more than Sauron.
@@rodolfosanchez3397 morgoth represent more of Satan's destructive and spiteful nature
Rings of power boutta go crazy
its trash
@@siuuu9957 it’s actually not that’s what’s crazy, but I know the internet loves to hate so I’m sure the 12 ppl who hate it will speak loudly
@user-pn3jd5se2q you kidding, right they are butchering the story and characters
@@siuuu9957 yes that’s definitely what every TH-camr says isn’t it. It’s a good show I said what I said 🤗
It would be dope if the next doom game had a lord of the ring Easter egg. A Secret portal after going through it it takes you to Mount doom. And while there you find the one ring laying on a rock or something.
what a sad ending, so tragic
I dont understand. If Sauron made all the rings, why would he needed to find the One Ring in order to rule? Isn't he supposed to be stronger than the One Ring if he made it anyway? It doesnt makes any sense to me or am i missing something?
I know, its an old comment, you might already read the answer, but in case you haven't yet, here's the answer:
Sauron basicly learned from the approach of his master. Where his master attempted to use his fëa (essence-soul-mind so to say) to corrupt everything and everyone to a point where he became part of humanity's very nature. (In fact its source of fear and evil) Sauron however did not want mindless destruction but rather control. This is why he did not want to "spread" himself with this technique. He therefore created one very small object containing that fëa and then casting a binding spell onto other objects. That strategy turned out very well for him, since humans in particular often have very centralized political systems, where a few mighty individuals exercise control over many. Give that individual a Ring to control him, and all of his people fall under Sauron's control too.
Looks like we arent getting Anitar in rings of power lol
Bruh the thumbnail …
Dude was a vampire too? Tf
And he turned into a werewolf.
We can trust sauron. Such a handsome fella...🙄😂
I thought sauron was killed by a giant dog called Huan , in The Silmarillion's story of Beren and Luthien the elf princess.
