Morgoth was the original dark Lord while sauron was his lieutenant. Morgoth was a valar or angelic beings that were created from eru's mind. It had been said that melkor or morgoth was the mightiest valar but he wanted the flame imperishable for himself which can create life but it was with eru iluvatar.

At last with the aid of valar morgoth was defeated but sauron his lieutenant escaped and hid in arda. Then in second age sauron took a fair form and shared his knowledge of ring forging to the grandchildren of feanor (the elf who created the silmarils) .

Read the works before creating a video. "Melkor", later named 'Morgoth' by Féanor himself, did NOT want to destroy creation. He wanted dominion over all the world and the worship of the First and Second Children. His primary motive was to find the Flame Imperishable. The power of true creation. He never found it. So, instead, he warped what life there was to fashion the 'evil' races of Middle Earth and Beleriand. Sauron poured most of his power into the One Ring. Morgoth did something similar in that he expended a great deal of his might in his first attempt to create life. The Great Wyrms and later the Winged Wyrms (Dragons). Anyway, what I'm getting at is that Morgoth wasn't chaotic. Sauron took his manner and methods directly from his master. People forget that both Gandalf and Sauron were Maiar. Not only that, but both were Maiar of Fire. As were the Maiar who became the Balrogs. Morgoth commanded multiple Maiar.
Thank you for this- this short vastly misunderstands the natures of Morgoth and Sauron. While distinct personalities, they both shared the same general ambition and worldview, and had the same general goal. Philosophically, Morgoth did not accept the living beings created fit into the perfection of creation. Their messiness and propensity towards imperfection and chaos made him believe they were corrupting creation, so he corrupted these beings into creations of his own as mockeries to what was created as a sort of protest and revolt. The distinction mainly lies in the differences in approaches and methods Morgoth and Sauron took to changing Middle Earth. Melkor's objection and revolt against creation was an almost purely metaphysical and philosophical one. And literally, in the sense that he was singing discord into the song of creation as a philosophical and narrative counterpoint. It was this metaphysical counter melody that directly influenced physical creation and corrupted aspects of it. Sauron, being a lower being, did everything he did in the world physically, and the methods of his revolt were nearly purely political and material. He physically acted as a recruiter and battlefield commander, as a necromancer, and even poured his metaphysical evil into a physical object, concreting it into physical form on Middle Earth. I'm sure there's a lot I've missed and probably some inaccuracies with what I've said, but the distinctions between Morgoth and Sauron seem to be more methodological, and due to the difference in their natures- one being an Ainur and trying to change the fundamental nature of reality through metaphysical dissonance that materializes in physical reality, and the other a Mai'ar who seeks to change creation by physically dominating it and dictating it from the physical world itself. But as you can see, philosophically, they ultimately had the same ideas and goals, and Sauron was independently carrying out the goals of his master, even after his defeat.
@@johnozzmond9728 its more inspired by the Welsh and Finnish and Norse epics. Kalevala, Elder Edda, Beowulf, Sigurd and Gudrun, Bagvagita and so on, and definitely the more forgotten Aurthurian legends too. But even more so with the irish lore and culture which many things were seeded such as The Tuatha De Danaan!
@@Makkaru112 Tolkien himself said his work was inspired by Catholicism, unconsciously at first, then consciously in revision. He also drew from some various European mythologies, but that's true of any western fantasy work
I found it really interesting how in the books Sauron is actually pretty diplomatic. He usually tried negotiations before war. He even tried to purchase horses from Rohan for the wraiths, when they refused he simply stole them.
Morgoth made the first ring in a sense. Which ironically can't be destroyed since Morgoth's ring is the entirety of middle earth. He litterally put a piece of himself into everything on middle earth
Morgoth wasn't a destroyer, he was a corruptor. He hated the Elves because they were created by Illuvatar and because the other Valar shaped Arda for the Elves. Morgoth wanted to create on his own and in searching for the Imperishable Flame deep in the vastness of Ea, away from the song of the Ainur, he essentially went mad, turning his power to corruption. His powers, once he descended into Arda, still co-mingled with the other Valar and served a purpose, but he didn't want to destroy all life. Just the life that Illuvatar had created. Chiefly Elves and Men, but he would corrupt them if he could. He too wanted to rule his own realm and his actions were to make the Elves leave Middle-Earth and return to Valinor.
Morgoth didn’t want to destroy life. He wanted to corrupt it and twist it into a perversion of life. Hence the orcs, dragons etc. he wanted his own version of life.
That is true but his corrupt creations were made in spite. If Morgoth acquired the eternal flame, he likely would have created entirely different beings. That would never happen though, so perverting life was the next best option. Pretty much a god tier tantrum.
This person's use of "Ainur" is incorrect. Ainur is a categorisation of both Maiar and Valar. Sauron is a Maiar (demi-god) and Morgoth is a Valar (pantheon god) and Illuvitar is THE god that encompasses all, both the Maiar and Valar are his children conceived from his thoughts
@@peaceunion5316 power systems in Tolkien are never so simple as valar equals better in every way. If it helps, think of it this way, a battle oriented MAIAR can easily take Morgoth, such as Tulkas, who entered the world later on via Eru. And through bravery and faith in Eru beings like Olorin in their nerfed wizard form can take on a Balrog of morgoth, also a Maia like Gandalf. Same as how if the ground wasn't ground to dust around Fingolfin, he'd have continued to damage melkor more than seven times and continued to dodge his blows. And those wounds melkor bore could never heal and he'd be forever in agony and forever had a limp, forever to be embarrassed infront of his generals and thralls alike!
Unicron is like satan from the transformers world but megatron is from primus or god in their verse so megatron is actually a good guy in their world since he only wants to rebuild his planet
They bat eyed cause they send Istari to help Free peoples to defeat Sauron, they didnt wanted another War of Wrath which would destroy another large part of continent, like Beleriand was destroyed thats difference, they were aware of what their powers could do and they change tactics, go reread lore again and then talk
@@Theemptythroneistaken It seems you dont understand a Tolkien, Istari were selected so that they could assist the free peoples to defeat a Sauron, sending the Istari was their answer, their batting the eye
The war vs Morgoth, the Dagor Dagorath, was so brutal it reshaped the land of the Middle Earth. That gives you an idea of Morgoth's power and the ainur's
Neutral evil in LOTR are more or less the Easterlings. Not under Sauron's tyranny anymore, but decided to join his forces for their own gains and to stop the infighting in their lands. Amoral, just as ruthless as the orks, made the choice to be evil.
Simply Morgoth was an envious artist while Sauron was a fascist. Morgoth wanted to reshape the very lands of middle earth and corrupt its inhabitants. He wanted to create his own version of arda(earth), middle earth was his canvas and chaos was his art. Sauron on the other hand on his own twisted ways desired for peace and order, through the rings of power and the one ring he sought to manipulate the leaders of middle earth to rule them all.
Thing is Mairon always had an attraction and respect for those with intelligence and skill. They are both fascinating and layered characters who among other characters too have inspired so many discussions for decades now on even simply about their perspectives etc!
Morgoth corrupted everything in the world which is a really important distinction. Sauron had the one ring but Morgoths ring is literally the entire world until the end times. Sauron didn’t create any of his evil servants but instead deceived them into thinking he was representing Morgoth or outright lied saying he was so as to gain their loyalty. Morgoth also was only put in time out in the void vs. Sauron who lost most of his power in the ring and is stuck wondering the Earth.
Tolkien Lore (The Tolkien Geek) channel did a really cool one where he proved Sauron is like a replacement Manwë to Morgoth, i won't spoil anything. It's super fascinating and he uses source material only to prove it.
Morgoth, originally Melkor, was multitalented in creating things. He was not the master of a single thing, but he was close in talent to the Vala that were. Were he more disciplined, he would have been the king of Arda Unstained forever. But because of his multitalented nature and his lust to create coupled with his undisciplined habits in his work, he grew prideful and jealous for what was not his. He became a chaotic despot. Sauron, originally Mairon, was similarly multitalented among the Maiar, and he had a great fascination with Order and Creation, being the apprentice of Aulë, the Vala of Craft. This fascination grew into an obsession with Melkor's meddling, and he betrayed Manwë, discontent with the way the King of Arda imposed such a lack of Order upon Arda.
Sauron: One of if not the BBEG's Top Lieutenants Morgoth: The BBEG and second most powerful being in Middle-Earth Lore existence next to Eru himself. Note: When I say power I mean cosmic power in and of itself because Manwë (essentially king of the gods) was greatest in authority next to Eru and Tulkas (the only being capable of physically overpowering Morgoth) was the greatest in physical strength.
Morgoth is Lucifer. Sauron is a high school goth kid who has black candles in his room and listens to death metal while drawing pentagrams on notebook paper.
This video is all kinds of wrong. “Ainur” is an order used to describe the maiar and valar. The latter more powerful than the former. Morgoth was valar while Sauron was maiar.
Tolkien said that some Maiar were "nigh as great to the Valar". We can only speculate, but obviously Sauron fits into that category, seeing as how he almost ruled Middle-earth.
Morgoth's alternative name is Melkor which you might hear mentioned at times. There is a spider spirit also name Ungoliant. She would make Shelob look like a tiddler.
Morgoth wanted to undo all of creation. Not just annihilating the Elves, Dwarves and Men. But every blade of grass, every river stream. Everything that represents life and that is living. Morgoth wanted to bring about the ultimate doom and annihilate everything. Sauron wanted ownership over creation, he wanted to be master of all living things and would do anything, and commit unspeakable atrocities to achieve his goal. So both are true evil just with different goals.
Could've been more in depth. Morgoth felt inadequate that he was the most powerful einur and held a share in all their spheres of power, yet he was humiliated by Eru who told melkor that even his power had it's utmost source in him (Eru). He was also impatient to create life and when he could not do it himself he sought to corrupt and destroy Erus work. Orcs, trolls, dragons etc. While morgoth was pure chaos, Sauron was pure order. He only joined morgoth as it boosted his own native power and gave him the ability of domination. Sauron himself hated wastage and wanted to make middle earth as beautiful as the blessed realm, however he believed that the people were unable to effectively govern themselves which is why he created the rings of power, to kill two birds with one stone; to control their wearers and slow the decay of time. These rings were intended to enthrall the minds of their wearers to his will in his one ring. However he once again underestimated the life around him, once he wore the master ring the elves took off their rings so as not to be influenced and the dwarves had indomitable wills as made by aule himself; the rings only made them greedier but gave sauron no control. This is when he tried his hand at conquest. In the end both morgoth and sauron fell by the same method. Their own hubris.

Morgoth is the reason why I do respect the big homie JR Tolkien, and I think folks misconstrue his words, Mr. Tolkien before saying that Sauron in the second age was greater than Morgoth at the end of the first🤦🏿♂️ he made it clear that Sauron was smaller in stature if these dudes locked asses, Morgoth would crush him, this dude was doing crazy shit, while crippled after his fight with fingolfin. No way Sauron was on the level on this guy, a host of the valar had to be sent to take this dude down, screw the fact that he wouldn't come outside after his fight with fingolfin, the man's killers consisted of Glauron, Gothmog, Durins Bane, Ankelagon, even Sauron who was no warrior, was his little homie. some of the most terrifying villains in the legendarium, they are a product of Morgoth Bauglir.
I wished we focused more on the first age and the 2nd age it sounds like its the peak of the whole lore. Lord of the rings was technically the conclusion to it all.
Thumps up, too many people make Sauron a less powerful version of Morgoth. Sauron was his own character and better at certain things than Morgoth, but much less powerful.
Morgoth is Saurons master. He was the one who corrupted Sauron and is pretty much responsible for all the evil acts in the world. Sauron had to step up after Morgoth was banished to the outer dark.
The real mystery wasn't Morgoth or Sauron ... But The spider which has been called: Ungoliant Who or what created this creature or (better called it) This thing? Where it came to world of middle earth? What was it's purpose? and other unanswered questions ... If I know right, It was been able to defeat and maybe consume Morgoth (the strongest Vallar) himself, after she drank the nectar of those trees from lands of not dying, it has growen larger (if his balorogs would not aid him).
Its not that clear. Because Morgoth couldnt crate things like Eru. So he had had to corrupt existing things by "wasting" his own powers. So when the War of Wrath started, Morgoth had already weakened himself by corrupting elves and crating monsters like Dragons. So maybe Sauron in his prime could be as strong as Morgoth during the War of Wrath.
@@NeroSparda99 Why are you so bitter on the subject without contributing anything to the conversation? Being serious, Sauron was destroyed. Morgoth couldn't be destroyed, even by the other Valar, just imprisoned in The Void because that was the best they could do and it is directly stated that even that was temporary and he would inevitably escape from it, eventually. How about instead of arguing for the sake of being argumentative, you actually provide an argument for... whatever it is you're even trying to argue. Before you go bashing people for knowing and/or being interested in the lore, perhaps you should learn more about it yourself.
The difference between Morgoth and Sauron is more in intelligence. Morgoth was a god and had a ridiculous amount of power but not very smart. Sauron was not a good fighter but a very intelligent manipulator and more cunning then Morgoth.
@@lalallallagunwolaaaa Sauron literally lost to a hound of Orome. The big one was when Gil Galad and Elendil actually killed him. Isildur cut off the ring after Sauron was already killed. Morgoth mostly preyed on the hatred of the Noldor against each other. Most of the civilizations in Beleriand fell because of the Sons Of Feanor or Turin’s curse. He literally had luck on his side when the Valar didn’t execute him immediately after he was captured. Morgoth was more about military might to crush someone. Morgoth used intimidation to get his way and when that didn’t work he threw a temper tantrum. Sauron had a vastly smaller army than Morgoth ever did so Sauron had to be more creative. Most of the physical fights Sauron has been in he lost horribly. Sauron was a tactical genius but had to rush battles because he was scared of Aragorn thinking he had the ring. I would argue The Witch King is the best of two worlds an excellent fighter that could best Elves and a tactical genius.
@@mr.awesomereacts2533 You're right for most part but: 1.Hound is obviously powerful dog and he had help from Luthien not to mention prophecy which Sauron believed in his arrogance that it was him that will slay Hound. 2. No it wasn't luck because they couldn't kill him because he was a valar and no one could kill a valar only imprison him and Manwe couldn't understand lying which Melkor obviously was. 3.What do you mean he was throwing a temper tatrum by definition he was always throwing a temper tatrum but seriously what do you mean exacly? 4.Melkor was more creative than Sauron I think there was quote that said Morgoth started new plans but Sauron perfected them.
@@daneoman1000 yeah cause Balrogs are powerful demons created by ancient rituals and bestowed withe the very power of Morgoth, they're so stronger that even the gods had problems against fighting them and let's not speak of their leader who was a total beast (but he got slayen during the war of first age that set of the start of second age)
Sauron got defeated by a bunch of pathetic sentient meat. Morgoth needed Eru himself, the creator of existence itself to intervene bending the space and banishing him to the void.
What you mean is... the entirety of middle earth came to fight morgoth and still could not win but luckily two certain people made to the western lands and begged the Valar to help and they did so. Destroying Morgoth's army and banishing him to the void... which is said he will escape one day.
Morgoth was defeated by the host of the Valar (the second time) and Tulkas only arrived at the end to chain him up. The doors of Night were always there, he was thrown into them again. Sauron was not to be overpowered to defeat him; no physical harm would ever keep him down unless the Ring was destroyed.
Short answer everyone gives credit to the first one like they did anything, then pretended like the second was lesser when he actually got closer to accomplishing the goal of both
I agree condescending nerds love pretending Sauron is a joke compared to Morgoth in an effort to show they know the Tolkienverse "better" even tho that's a super surface level take and ignorant af for what Tolkien was going for, they're different breeds of evil and both stained the world horrifically in different ways Morgoth definitely didn't do nothing tho, him pouring his very being into the the earth set the stage for Sauron and all subsequent evils tainting everything and everyone on some level, that's the reason why the world has to be made anew in the end because there was truly no getting rid of the damage he had done even when they were both made incapable of causing further harm or having direct influence on the world
Sauron is how India views Britain. Morgoth is how Ireland views Britain. Disclaimer: this is not to downplay what Britain did to India, more instead to emphasize what Britain has done to Ireland.
Morgoth wanted to control and twist life not destroying it as the second best option for him after he understood that only Iluvatar can create life. His destruction was a result of the other Valar not errr .. agreeing with him. His servants were the first ones to discover the awakening of the Children of Iluvatar - Elves and latter Men as well, the Orcs were created by torturing and corrupting the captured Elves first.

Sauron, being a lower being, did everything he did in the world physically, and the methods of his revolt were nearly purely political and material. He physically acted as a recruiter and battlefield commander, as a necromancer, and even poured his metaphysical evil into a physical object, concreting it into physical form on Middle Earth.
I'm sure there's a lot I've missed and probably some inaccuracies with what I've said, but the distinctions between Morgoth and Sauron seem to be more methodological, and due to the difference in their natures- one being an Ainur and trying to change the fundamental nature of reality through metaphysical dissonance that materializes in physical reality, and the other a Mai'ar who seeks to change creation by physically dominating it and dictating it from the physical world itself. But as you can see, philosophically, they ultimately had the same ideas and goals, and Sauron was independently carrying out the goals of his master, even after his defeat.
What an imaginative mind Tolkien had 🤩
Most of his work was loosely inspired by Catholicism
One church to rule them all. I agree I’m sure it’s a mix of all European history and legend but of course AMAZON disagree
@@johnozzmond9728 its more inspired by the Welsh and Finnish and Norse epics. Kalevala, Elder Edda, Beowulf, Sigurd and Gudrun, Bagvagita and so on, and definitely the more forgotten Aurthurian legends too. But even more so with the irish lore and culture which many things were seeded such as The Tuatha De Danaan!
@@Makkaru112 Tolkien himself said his work was inspired by Catholicism, unconsciously at first, then consciously in revision. He also drew from some various European mythologies, but that's true of any western fantasy work
@@johnozzmond9728his works are inspired by Anglo-Saxon folk culture and history which is pagan.
Morgoth wanted to corrupt and destroy
Sauron wanted to build, craft, and rule
So basically... Sauron wanted to play Minecraft in Survival but Morgoth wanted to play Creative...
@@NaumanAsifnah, Sauron is the Creative mode guy type, while Morgoth is the one with a TNT that destroys everything.
I found it really interesting how in the books Sauron is actually pretty diplomatic. He usually tried negotiations before war. He even tried to purchase horses from Rohan for the wraiths, when they refused he simply stole them.
Morgoth made the first ring in a sense. Which ironically can't be destroyed since Morgoth's ring is the entirety of middle earth. He litterally put a piece of himself into everything on middle earth
Morgoth morgothed all over middle earth. Best thing I ever saw
Sauron, Balrogs and the wizards are all Maia so the wars for middle earth is like a really intense episode of Family Feud
Sauron = Joffrey
Morgoth = Night King
Sauron is not Joffrey. you cant do this to us

Morgoth wasn't a destroyer, he was a corruptor. He hated the Elves because they were created by Illuvatar and because the other Valar shaped Arda for the Elves. Morgoth wanted to create on his own and in searching for the Imperishable Flame deep in the vastness of Ea, away from the song of the Ainur, he essentially went mad, turning his power to corruption. His powers, once he descended into Arda, still co-mingled with the other Valar and served a purpose, but he didn't want to destroy all life. Just the life that Illuvatar had created. Chiefly Elves and Men, but he would corrupt them if he could. He too wanted to rule his own realm and his actions were to make the Elves leave Middle-Earth and return to Valinor.
First correct description of Morgoth. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but, Sauron wasn't his lieutenant, he was his head prison guard.
Morgoth didn’t want to destroy life. He wanted to corrupt it and twist it into a perversion of life. Hence the orcs, dragons etc. he wanted his own version of life.
That is true but his corrupt creations were made in spite. If Morgoth acquired the eternal flame, he likely would have created entirely different beings. That would never happen though, so perverting life was the next best option. Pretty much a god tier tantrum.
I used to think Morgoth was a place 🤣🤣🤣
That place is Mordor.
Morgoth/Melkor is a Vala, while Sauron is a Maia
MorGoth is the strongest amongst Valar who inturn are the strongest amongst Maia who all are in a way Ainur
@@Sanchez792 i thought the Valar were the children of Ainur and the Maia were the subdivision of weaker Valar
This person's use of "Ainur" is incorrect. Ainur is a categorisation of both Maiar and Valar. Sauron is a Maiar (demi-god) and Morgoth is a Valar (pantheon god) and Illuvitar is THE god that encompasses all, both the Maiar and Valar are his children conceived from his thoughts
@@peaceunion5316 power systems in Tolkien are never so simple as valar equals better in every way. If it helps, think of it this way, a battle oriented MAIAR can easily take Morgoth, such as Tulkas, who entered the world later on via Eru. And through bravery and faith in Eru beings like Olorin in their nerfed wizard form can take on a Balrog of morgoth, also a Maia like Gandalf. Same as how if the ground wasn't ground to dust around Fingolfin, he'd have continued to damage melkor more than seven times and continued to dodge his blows. And those wounds melkor bore could never heal and he'd be forever in agony and forever had a limp, forever to be embarrassed infront of his generals and thralls alike!
@@NakedGhost3234 demi God would be Lùthien!, think Hercules
Morgoth is the more Chuck Norrisy version of Sauron.
Melkor gangster untill Ungoliath shows up
Sauron = Megatron
Morgoth = Unicron
Is this right?
Unicron is like satan from the transformers world but megatron is from primus or god in their verse so megatron is actually a good guy in their world since he only wants to rebuild his planet
More like Unicron and Galvitron. But yea.
Omg yes exactly
Maybe change Megatron to Fallen or Galvatron
Lord Palpatine = Morgoth
Darth Vader = Sauron
The biggest difference it took the entire of the valar race to even contend with Morgoth the same race who didn't bat an eye towards sauron.
True.
They bat eyed cause they send Istari to help Free peoples to defeat Sauron, they didnt wanted another War of Wrath which would destroy another large part of continent, like Beleriand was destroyed thats difference, they were aware of what their powers could do and they change tactics, go reread lore again and then talk
@@patriktakac4970 That wasn't them batting an eye they couldn't care for sauron the istari by the 3rd age were no better than an average elf
@@Theemptythroneistaken It seems you dont understand a Tolkien, Istari were selected so that they could assist the free peoples to defeat a Sauron, sending the Istari was their answer, their batting the eye
@patriktakac4970 If they batted an eye they would of sent one of there own ranks I.E another valar the istari in the 3rd age were nothing.
The war vs Morgoth, the Dagor Dagorath, was so brutal it reshaped the land of the Middle Earth. That gives you an idea of Morgoth's power and the ainur's
Morgoth : chaotic evil
Sauroum : neutral evil
Sauron is more likely Lawful Evil
@@jakubbariasz6235 yes he wants perfect order, that's why he gives all his orcs a number
Neutral evil in LOTR are more or less the Easterlings. Not under Sauron's tyranny anymore, but decided to join his forces for their own gains and to stop the infighting in their lands. Amoral, just as ruthless as the orks, made the choice to be evil.
Sauron is definitely Lawful Evil
@@jakubbariasz6235 yep, if he were to exist in forgotten realms he would be PRETTY fucking similliar to Bane
Simply Morgoth was an envious artist while Sauron was a fascist.
Morgoth wanted to reshape the very lands of middle earth and corrupt its inhabitants. He wanted to create his own version of arda(earth), middle earth was his canvas and chaos was his art.
Sauron on the other hand on his own twisted ways desired for peace and order, through the rings of power and the one ring he sought to manipulate the leaders of middle earth to rule them all.
Thing is Mairon always had an attraction and respect for those with intelligence and skill. They are both fascinating and layered characters who among other characters too have inspired so many discussions for decades now on even simply about their perspectives etc!
Morgoth corrupted everything in the world which is a really important distinction. Sauron had the one ring but Morgoths ring is literally the entire world until the end times. Sauron didn’t create any of his evil servants but instead deceived them into thinking he was representing Morgoth or outright lied saying he was so as to gain their loyalty. Morgoth also was only put in time out in the void vs. Sauron who lost most of his power in the ring and is stuck wondering the Earth.
Tolkien Lore (The Tolkien Geek) channel did a really cool one where he proved Sauron is like a replacement Manwë to Morgoth, i won't spoil anything. It's super fascinating and he uses source material only to prove it.
Morgoth, originally Melkor, was multitalented in creating things. He was not the master of a single thing, but he was close in talent to the Vala that were. Were he more disciplined, he would have been the king of Arda Unstained forever. But because of his multitalented nature and his lust to create coupled with his undisciplined habits in his work, he grew prideful and jealous for what was not his. He became a chaotic despot.
Sauron, originally Mairon, was similarly multitalented among the Maiar, and he had a great fascination with Order and Creation, being the apprentice of Aulë, the Vala of Craft. This fascination grew into an obsession with Melkor's meddling, and he betrayed Manwë, discontent with the way the King of Arda imposed such a lack of Order upon Arda.
" THEREISATEMPESTINME ! "
In terms of strength Morgoth is like a free Robin Williams Genie and Sauron is like a normal Tuesday afternoon Jafar.
Sauron is a shadow
Morgoth is Darkness
Sauron: One of if not the BBEG's Top Lieutenants
Morgoth: The BBEG and second most powerful being in Middle-Earth Lore existence next to Eru himself.
Note: When I say power I mean cosmic power in and of itself because Manwë (essentially king of the gods) was greatest in authority next to Eru and Tulkas (the only being capable of physically overpowering Morgoth) was the greatest in physical strength.
Morgoth: Strongest ainur
Also Morgoth: *traumatised when tulkas laughs*
Well have you seen those guns???
@@edgarulisescespedeschew4279😂 yeah our boy morgoth doesn't want anything to do with those 18 inch MK1 navy destroyer level guns of tulkas!
Sauron is a boy.
Morgoth is a BIG boy.
Morgoth is Lucifer. Sauron is a high school goth kid who has black candles in his room and listens to death metal while drawing pentagrams on notebook paper.
😂
looking forward for more of these lotr videos!
Morgoth is evil god while Sarun is fallen angel
Better story telling than Rings Of Power
Morgoth is essentially Lucifer in Tolkiens creation myth.
This video is all kinds of wrong. “Ainur” is an order used to describe the maiar and valar. The latter more powerful than the former. Morgoth was valar while Sauron was maiar.
Tolkien said that some Maiar were "nigh as great to the Valar". We can only speculate, but obviously Sauron fits into that category, seeing as how he almost ruled Middle-earth.
Morgoth didn't want to play music with the other Ainor. He just wanted to make his own tune.
Morgoth's alternative name is Melkor which you might hear mentioned at times. There is a spider spirit also name Ungoliant. She would make Shelob look like a tiddler.
I love armors they wear!
And morgoth was huge
Sounds like in DnD terms, Morgoth is Chaotic Evil while Sauron is Lawful Evil.
This two doesn't hold a candle to the most hated villain on Middle-Earth. Denethor.
Destroyer of cherry tomatoes
Morgoth wanted to undo all of creation. Not just annihilating the Elves, Dwarves and Men.
But every blade of grass, every river stream. Everything that represents life and that is living.
Morgoth wanted to bring about the ultimate doom and annihilate everything.
Sauron wanted ownership over creation, he wanted to be master of all living things and would do anything, and commit unspeakable atrocities to achieve his goal.
So both are true evil just with different goals.
That was initially when he first descended. After his power was diminished by the First Age he was content with ruling all of Eru's creations.
Morgoth is a fallen angel of greater power (valar) , Sauron is a fallen angel of lesser power (maiar), corrupted by Morgoth. It's that simple.
No
No
Tolkien says outright that Melkor (later known as Morgoth) was "the mightiest of the Ainur." He doesn’t say "the smartest."
Dude i really needed to know this thank you for the good content and easy to understand for non eng like me
We need a Morgoth storyline on TV or a big screen
Would be really cool aslong as they don't fuck it up like the "Rings of power" series that recently dropped
no we don't. use your imagination instead of asking Hollywood to animate it.
Could've been more in depth. Morgoth felt inadequate that he was the most powerful einur and held a share in all their spheres of power, yet he was humiliated by Eru who told melkor that even his power had it's utmost source in him (Eru). He was also impatient to create life and when he could not do it himself he sought to corrupt and destroy Erus work. Orcs, trolls, dragons etc. While morgoth was pure chaos, Sauron was pure order. He only joined morgoth as it boosted his own native power and gave him the ability of domination. Sauron himself hated wastage and wanted to make middle earth as beautiful as the blessed realm, however he believed that the people were unable to effectively govern themselves which is why he created the rings of power, to kill two birds with one stone; to control their wearers and slow the decay of time. These rings were intended to enthrall the minds of their wearers to his will in his one ring. However he once again underestimated the life around him, once he wore the master ring the elves took off their rings so as not to be influenced and the dwarves had indomitable wills as made by aule himself; the rings only made them greedier but gave sauron no control. This is when he tried his hand at conquest. In the end both morgoth and sauron fell by the same method. Their own hubris.
A mountain and a mole hill, that's the difference
Even Sauron wanted to be blacksmith and makes arms in show

Morgoth is the reason why I do respect the big homie JR Tolkien, and I think folks misconstrue his words, Mr. Tolkien before saying that Sauron in the second age was greater than Morgoth at the end of the first🤦🏿♂️ he made it clear that Sauron was smaller in stature if these dudes locked asses, Morgoth would crush him, this dude was doing crazy shit, while crippled after his fight with fingolfin. No way Sauron was on the level on this guy, a host of the valar had to be sent to take this dude down, screw the fact that he wouldn't come outside after his fight with fingolfin, the man's killers consisted of Glauron, Gothmog, Durins Bane, Ankelagon, even Sauron who was no warrior, was his little homie. some of the most terrifying villains in the legendarium, they are a product of Morgoth Bauglir.
I wished we focused more on the first age and the 2nd age it sounds like its the peak of the whole lore. Lord of the rings was technically the conclusion to it all.

What is the difference between Sauron and Morgoth? They're two different characters. Could stop at that.
Thumps up, too many people make Sauron a less powerful version of Morgoth. Sauron was his own character and better at certain things than Morgoth, but much less powerful.
Sauron at his strongest was at the same level as Morgoth at his weakest
Morgoth is Saurons master. He was the one who corrupted Sauron and is pretty much responsible for all the evil acts in the world. Sauron had to step up after Morgoth was banished to the outer dark.
Sauron put all of his power into his one ring until he had none, it was precious for him
But morgoth ring was literally the middle earth
The real mystery wasn't Morgoth or Sauron ...
But The spider which has been called:
Ungoliant
Who or what created this creature or (better called it) This thing?
Where it came to world of middle earth?
What was it's purpose?
and other unanswered questions ...
If I know right, It was been able to defeat and maybe consume Morgoth (the strongest Vallar) himself, after she drank the nectar of those trees from lands of not dying, it has growen larger (if his balorogs would not aid him).

In more simple terms morgoth would slap salron
Yea I don’t think salron is strong who that a hobbit ?
Its not that clear. Because Morgoth couldnt crate things like Eru. So he had had to corrupt existing things by "wasting" his own powers. So when the War of Wrath started, Morgoth had already weakened himself by corrupting elves and crating monsters like Dragons. So maybe Sauron in his prime could be as strong as Morgoth during the War of Wrath.
Why do you mfs always do this? Who was the villian that didn’t to get put down in round 2? Be serious
@@NeroSparda99 Why are you so bitter on the subject without contributing anything to the conversation? Being serious, Sauron was destroyed. Morgoth couldn't be destroyed, even by the other Valar, just imprisoned in The Void because that was the best they could do and it is directly stated that even that was temporary and he would inevitably escape from it, eventually. How about instead of arguing for the sake of being argumentative, you actually provide an argument for... whatever it is you're even trying to argue. Before you go bashing people for knowing and/or being interested in the lore, perhaps you should learn more about it yourself.

Sauron might have been goth, but he wasn't Morgoth.

The difference between Morgoth and Sauron is more in intelligence. Morgoth was a god and had a ridiculous amount of power but not very smart. Sauron was not a good fighter but a very intelligent manipulator and more cunning then Morgoth.
Morgoth wasn't dumb lol. Sauron admired Melkor and learned everything from him about manipulating and also Sauron isn't bad fighter.
@@lalallallagunwolaaaa Sauron literally lost to a hound of Orome. The big one was when Gil Galad and Elendil actually killed him. Isildur cut off the ring after Sauron was already killed. Morgoth mostly preyed on the hatred of the Noldor against each other. Most of the civilizations in Beleriand fell because of the Sons Of Feanor or Turin’s curse. He literally had luck on his side when the Valar didn’t execute him immediately after he was captured. Morgoth was more about military might to crush someone. Morgoth used intimidation to get his way and when that didn’t work he threw a temper tantrum. Sauron had a vastly smaller army than Morgoth ever did so Sauron had to be more creative. Most of the physical fights Sauron has been in he lost horribly. Sauron was a tactical genius but had to rush battles because he was scared of Aragorn thinking he had the ring. I would argue The Witch King is the best of two worlds an excellent fighter that could best Elves and a tactical genius.
@@mr.awesomereacts2533 You're right for most part but:
1.Hound is obviously powerful dog and he had help from Luthien not to mention prophecy which Sauron believed in his arrogance that it was him that will slay Hound.
2. No it wasn't luck because they couldn't kill him because he was a valar and no one could kill a valar only imprison him and Manwe couldn't understand lying which Melkor obviously was.
3.What do you mean he was throwing a temper tatrum by definition he was always throwing a temper tatrum but seriously what do you mean exacly?
4.Melkor was more creative than Sauron I think there was quote that said Morgoth started new plans but Sauron perfected them.

@@daneoman1000 yeah cause Balrogs are powerful demons created by ancient rituals and bestowed withe the very power of Morgoth, they're so stronger that even the gods had problems against fighting them and let's not speak of their leader who was a total beast (but he got slayen during the war of first age that set of the start of second age)
both like pointy crown hats too .
Morgoth is basically Tolkiens version of Lucifer. Sauron is a lesser angel.
Sauron got defeated by a bunch of pathetic sentient meat.
Morgoth needed Eru himself, the creator of existence itself to intervene bending the space and banishing him to the void.
Lol what? The Valar did cast Morgoth into the void.
What you mean is... the entirety of middle earth came to fight morgoth and still could not win but luckily two certain people made to the western lands and begged the Valar to help and they did so. Destroying Morgoth's army and banishing him to the void... which is said he will escape one day.
Morgoth was defeated by the host of the Valar (the second time) and Tulkas only arrived at the end to chain him up. The doors of Night were always there, he was thrown into them again.
Sauron was not to be overpowered to defeat him; no physical harm would ever keep him down unless the Ring was destroyed.
Morgoth is a god, sauron is a "fallen angel"
Both are "fall angels"
Morgoth: Palpatine
Sauron: Vader
Morgoth : God…
Sauron: Jesus…
More like Satan and antichrist
Short answer everyone gives credit to the first one like they did anything, then pretended like the second was lesser when he actually got closer to accomplishing the goal of both
I agree condescending nerds love pretending Sauron is a joke compared to Morgoth in an effort to show they know the Tolkienverse "better" even tho that's a super surface level take and ignorant af for what Tolkien was going for, they're different breeds of evil and both stained the world horrifically in different ways
Morgoth definitely didn't do nothing tho, him pouring his very being into the the earth set the stage for Sauron and all subsequent evils tainting everything and everyone on some level, that's the reason why the world has to be made anew in the end because there was truly no getting rid of the damage he had done even when they were both made incapable of causing further harm or having direct influence on the world
Sauron is how India views Britain. Morgoth is how Ireland views Britain. Disclaimer: this is not to downplay what Britain did to India, more instead to emphasize what Britain has done to Ireland.
This is a really weird comment.
Morgoth wanted to control and twist life not destroying it as the second best option for him after he understood that only Iluvatar can create life. His destruction was a result of the other Valar not errr .. agreeing with him. His servants were the first ones to discover the awakening of the Children of Iluvatar - Elves and latter Men as well, the Orcs were created by torturing and corrupting the captured Elves first.
One is more goth than the other.its actually his name lol
The first one saved himself from having his name tied to that Shitshow of Amazon.
