This was probably the best and most accurate aspect of the show. Sauron was a cunning deceiver who appeared angelic to everyone he encountered during this time, it was a way of people trusting him.

@@brinstarmedia1411 Wdym "even worse". He could act on his own desires when Morgoth was gone. His desires are actually OK and are even very good when compared to morgoth. Sauron wanted order and peace. What he didn't want is to destroy like what Morgoth wanted. Sauron wanted peace as well. He offers it to everybody even in LOTR. Take when the mouth of Sauron offers it to Aragorn. The difference is that in LOTR, the Elves and Men are more honourable and have greater potential than Sauron. In this show they don't. Sauron is more honourable and provides better options than the elves.
@@Jester343 i agree with everything you said. I didn’t mean he became worse than Morgoth. I meant Sauron became worse in comparison to the role sauron had played during the first age and before.

It wasn't? Heard Willow was bad too. I couldn't even Fathom that cuz Willow was amazing with Val Kilmer which made it super funny too! The Dikeenies too!
This show managed to completely trivialise some major players in the LOTR story. Completely trivialise them It turned sauron from cruel lord commanding thousands of monsters to handsome dude who was just misunderstood. Turned Galadriel from a Lady of a Noble house to some teen out to prove herself a soldier. This is teen fan fiction not Tolkien.
In the later parts of The Silmarillion, Sauron is written as having a “pleasing” form and did indeed pass himself off as a helpful advisor in order to gain the trust of (and later corrupt) men - until he realised the rings of power could to do the work for him. But to your point, the clips I’ve seen of the show paint a story closer to a soap opera. I don’t think there’s a problem with the actors, just the story.
Cmon. Yall need to realize that making him the most likable character was literally THE POINT. How could he have gotten past the elves without a FLAWLESS performance???
Well, maybe it would Seem more natural if the elves weren’t portrayed as witless, narcissistic, assholes and the men of numenor as rednecks 😅 there is no nuance to the characters 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly, as Sauron when taken to Numenor as a prisoner, within a few weeks had the ear of the king and became his chief advisor all while plotting Numenor’s downfall. He was able to deceive the great Numenoreans to rebel against the Ban and fooled them into thinking they could wrest eternal life from the Ainur and thus bringing the wroth of Illuvitar down upon them. Eru (the one) drowned Numenor under the sea and so great was the seas wroth that Sauron himself, overreached his purpose and went down with them and forever loosing his ability to look beautiful. But as we know his Spirit arose like a dark cloud and after many years returned to Mordor and there he took up the power of the Ring again.
@Duane-bi7wk agreed. I simply made an observation, and he responded by saying I needed glasses. He could've just said, "That's not how I saw it." But sadly, politeness is no longer the way of the world
Man I don’t understand the hate for this show. It was honestly really good, and even though it wasn’t 100% lore accurate, it was still extremely enjoyable to watch. Yeah, the action was usually small scale, but I think that’s the point for now.
How they managed to make Sauron the most likeable character in the show and Galadriel (of all characters) the most unlikable is genuinely beyond me…this show had me routing for him.
@@deusvult6164 I mean true, but Galadriel was supposed to be likable because she is the main character and she is of noble blood. Sauron should have deceptive looks, bro just looks like the OP version of Aragorn
Lmao. Now you have to return the favor. Today is the day that you replace the Writers of the strike. Make them look the best with what you do. Fix his face like you do for the The Real Housewives of Hollywood. Best MUA in all of New York and Little Italy 🇮🇹
Tbh he's like the one redeemable aspect of the entire show, I feel like they got him right from reading Tolkien's sagas from the 1st and 2nd ages as well as early third age, albeit not much Sauron around then being focused on.
I really liked it beside of all the hate .. sauron was a master manipulater and whas know to even fool the most beautiful elves and men. Deep down he is a monster with a vision. And he will do anything to get there including masking himself as a beautiful man to gain strength and trust
I mean maybe I wasn’t paying attention well but from what I remember he never told her he was the king’s heir she just assumed lol. Also Sauron said himself “No not dark, not with you” which makes me think everything could’ve gone differently if they’d just let him have his peace lol
The show might be a little subpar, but you have to admit Charlie Vickers (Halbrand/Sauron) did an amazing job. His smile was friendly at first, but when Galadriel said "your *real* name, his smile turned menacing.
@@jaydenchui5948 and another glaring (and unbelievably stupid, I have to admit) wrong move is Galadriel's and Elrond's friendship or whatever. Canonically speaking, Galadriel is 20000+ years older than Elrond (Galadriel was born in The Years of The Trees 1362, and Elrond is born somewhere in the First Age).
Gave him a handsome face, admirable character, sad backstory, and a nice chemistry with the main character but turned out to be the villain the main character was looking for. He was right under her nose.
Sauron portrayal is the best aspect of Rings of Power. Playing Sauron of many shapes and faces and I totally enjoy watching him see portraying different faces and moods and how easy he lies.
Sauron: Sauron lives BECAUSE OF YOU!!! Galadriel: And you will DIE because of me!!! Sauron: I'm NOT in danger, Galadriel! I AM the danger!!! I'm THE ONE who knocks!!!!
Isn't that what a great villian does. He makes you enjoy his company, sparks feeling of cheating on your husband. But all with smile and promises of respect. As the book said, he was disguised as a gift giver and a friend, untill the deception was revealed.
I love how he really didn’t need to do much to deceive her. She literally wanted him to be king he just went along with everything to put her between a rock and a hard place later.
@@Mephisto3111 nah its just the hopeless simps that think its going to be exactly like the books who hate it. If you treat it as its own thing its really good. Especially the actor that plays sauron.
@@BlueforReason it shouldn't be it's own thing. They have the books as reference for a reason. If they want to change the story, then they shouldn't make a LoTR series. Make an amazon original that's a completely brand new IP. Simple as that. The fans that don't actually know the lore are the ones who like this show. And yes, the actual fans are upset bc they fucked up the story
Reading the actual Silmarillion really brought to light just how evil Sauron was even to the point of implementing human sacrifice and burnings in a Melkor death cult among the Numenoreans before the Rings of Power took place. I know that Hollywood is gonna Hollywood, but it would have been something to see them make a more accurate depiction of events if they had some agreement with Christopher Tolkien.
I still prefer the more elvish looking Sauron than the one we got, to me him taking elf form as long as he did and betraying them hits harder when he looks like one of them.
How good is Rings of Power? So far, I've watched all 3 of the Lord of The Rings movies, and I have watched 1 of The Hobbit movies. They are all so good 👏👏
Halbran/Sauron seems more fitting for the upcoming AVATAR 3: Fire and Ash movie. Sauron the Supreme Leader the RDA deceives all so he can conquer Pandora for himself and leave the Human race to rot back on Earth.
@@deusvult6164yeah, the Jackson trilogy gets a lot of praise, and they are great movies, but they do deviate so much from the books. Sauron had a physical form, he just couldn't leave Barad Dur. Also, he couldn't see Frodo whenever he put on the ring. The scenes where Frodo has these hallucinations of the eye when he puts the ring on are Jackson fiction.
@@garymac5571the eye was more there to remind audiences of saurons presence. In the deleted scenes, it does show sauron in his physical form when speaking to aragorn by palantir. The 2 assistant producers in commentary explain this, as they wanted to remind the audience of saurons power and presence. I feel tge flaming eye is just fine, however my gripe is Jackson's movies make it seem like sauron is literally the eye. Like he's a dormant eye rather than the original intention of tolkein that he's ever present and everywhere. I looove Jackson's movies, but they should have explained sauron a lot more, including gandalf. My parents watched the trilogy so many times and they had no idea gandalf is basically an angel and sauron is a shadow God, they thought sauron was literally just the strongest orc. And gandalf was an old man. They looked at me like I was crazy explaining everything, then they ended up watching tons of lore videos on RUclips now they love the movies way more. At least the eye isn't completely fabricated and insulting like alot of this show does, so I don't mind it too much.
This series is fucking horrible. If you disagree with me, just tell me who the fuck Halbrand is? Sauron maybe? Well actually Sauron has many name but Halbrand? Seriously? In the Tolkien Universe, Sauron once took the form of an elve to "help" the elves making the differents Rings of Power (but NOT the 3 who belongs to the elves, which is the reason why they are not corrupted) and guess what, Tolkien actually give him a name. Annatar. Yes Annatar, not Halbrand. The reason of what this amazon show sucks is because the original story was butchered by Amazon Prime for litteraly no reason.
@@lilianbieth9275you're right about that, but come to think of it, except for some dialogues and scenes it went pretty smooth with hallbrand, as someone who hasn't read the books i didn't feel much disturbance (definitely not as much as i did with star wars and percy jackson)
During this scene I didn't really feel shocked but in this sdit I actually felt something I felt tension and betrayal, how is that possible?! Amazing job! 😎👍

He is so silent Killer SAURON❤
Guy was hiding in plane sight just like palpatine
That's very Palpable of you
"somehow Sauron has returned"
Just like his master melkor, who fooled all the valar into thinking he's changed

I mean maybe I wasn’t paying attention well but from what I remember he never told her he was the king’s heir she just assumed lol. Also Sauron said himself “No not dark, not with you” which makes me think everything could’ve gone differently if they’d just let him have his peace lol
He said he took it off a dead man, being literal
The show might be a little subpar, but you have to admit Charlie Vickers (Halbrand/Sauron) did an amazing job. His smile was friendly at first, but when Galadriel said "your *real* name, his smile turned menacing.
Little?
Subpar its god awful ruining tolkeins work
@@jaydenchui5948 and another glaring (and unbelievably stupid, I have to admit) wrong move is Galadriel's and Elrond's friendship or whatever. Canonically speaking, Galadriel is 20000+ years older than Elrond (Galadriel was born in The Years of The Trees 1362, and Elrond is born somewhere in the First Age).
A pity that his character is totally invented and has nothing to do with the original
“A little subpar” what an understatement
Gave him a handsome face, admirable character, sad backstory, and a nice chemistry with the main character but turned out to be the villain the main character was looking for. He was right under her nose.
“Let’s make the villain the only straight white guy. That’ll show em for picking on me in high school. 🤓”
Are you alright?
The whole series is a joke
But he wasn’t?
This comment is pure projection😂
@@sam-ht6qv truth*
Now, hes come back as a Bollywood actor to 'fool the elves AGAIN!' 😂😂😂
Sauron portrayal is the best aspect of Rings of Power. Playing Sauron of many shapes and faces and I totally enjoy watching him see portraying different faces and moods and how easy he lies.
Sauron has by far the most awesome armor of all time 🗡🛡 The Transition with the Music is so good 👏🏻👍🏻🤗
Sauron: Sauron lives BECAUSE OF YOU!!!
Galadriel: And you will DIE because of me!!!
Sauron: I'm NOT in danger, Galadriel! I AM the danger!!!
I'm THE ONE who knocks!!!!
That’s what they said
the episode that finally made me appreciate Halbrand. otherwise glory to Sauron!
A devil needs no introduction
Yea you do cuz he's the one without a name. So no one knows who he is.
Melkor aka Morgoth was the closest thing to the Devil in Arda.
Sauron was his understudy.
Why is sauron so badass? Like he's totally evil, but has his reasons. But still. He's just so fucking COOL
my god i actually started to love him but still love him as sauron
Classic bad boy stereotype switchroo like anakin and Voldemort
Im a huge lotr fan, and I get the hate for some of the changes- but they totally nailed Sauron in this
Sauron was the best part of the entire show for me anyways.
Isn't that what a great villian does. He makes you enjoy his company, sparks feeling of cheating on your husband. But all with smile and promises of respect. As the book said, he was disguised as a gift giver and a friend, untill the deception was revealed.
This is the exact moment when Halbrand became Sauronberg
Sauron is just a nice guy giving fabolous gift to all sort of folks
One of the best edits I have ever seen great edit
I love how he really didn’t need to do much to deceive her. She literally wanted him to be king he just went along with everything to put her between a rock and a hard place later.
Never thought Sauron could appear so chirpy and harmless 😊
Oh he is far from harmless lol
That’s usually how every evil character is cunning deceiving harmless in the beginning and charming
@@thedarkestknight8381 wow just like me lol
I've been awake since before the breaking of the first silence...
So, like 3am?
❤❤🎉⭐️😊
Why are villains always so hot ?
They do it on purpose to brain wash girls to like bad boys and bad behavior as they grow up and in turn effects society
They want women to fall for evil
“I have many names.”
That line never gets old
Lucifer for example 😂
Essa montagem é muito boa, faz essa série fanfic medíocre parecer boa por um momento apenas, parabéns pelo trabalho.
How many times have you watched this?
Me : Yes
His performance was the best part of this show
I just spoiled the scene now, 😅today I started ring of power , I shouldn't have clicked on this short😅😭
Shame he isn't gonna be in Season 2, he was the only actor that stood out
He is in s2
@@khalildz1552 is he ? Well thank fuck for that
@@kriscraig453I’m pretty sure they switched him with an ethnic guy, not joking
@@metalheadami123 "ethnic guy" you people are so cringe
I warms my heart to know that anything concerning ROP has a massive dislike count.
Ya its only the hopeless nerds who hate the show though. Its actually pretty good.
@@BlueforReason lmao no it wasn't 😂
@@BlueforReason What? The show is horrible
@@Mephisto3111 nah its just the hopeless simps that think its going to be exactly like the books who hate it. If you treat it as its own thing its really good. Especially the actor that plays sauron.
@@BlueforReason it shouldn't be it's own thing. They have the books as reference for a reason. If they want to change the story, then they shouldn't make a LoTR series. Make an amazon original that's a completely brand new IP. Simple as that. The fans that don't actually know the lore are the ones who like this show. And yes, the actual fans are upset bc they fucked up the story
Reading the actual Silmarillion really brought to light just how evil Sauron was even to the point of implementing human sacrifice and burnings in a Melkor death cult among the Numenoreans before the Rings of Power took place. I know that Hollywood is gonna Hollywood, but it would have been something to see them make a more accurate depiction of events if they had some agreement with Christopher Tolkien.
Still baffling to me that this show cost 1billion to make 😬
I still prefer the more elvish looking Sauron than the one we got, to me him taking elf form as long as he did and betraying them hits harder when he looks like one of them.
I like the idea of sauron being a elf who was driven mad with power
Sauron was not a elf.
@@bandit4587he did have an elven disguise at least
Mimicking tolkiens work as well as a turd mimicks a mole hill
This edit is better than the entire series 💀
I like sauron
and HE just wanted to stay in Numenor. poor Sauronnn :'(
You can say what you want about rings of power but sauron was really cool😮
How good is Rings of Power? So far, I've watched all 3 of the Lord of The Rings movies, and I have watched 1 of The Hobbit movies. They are all so good 👏👏
perfect bro
🙌❤
Halbran/Sauron seems more fitting for the upcoming AVATAR 3: Fire and Ash movie. Sauron the Supreme Leader the RDA deceives all so he can conquer Pandora for himself and leave the Human race to rot back on Earth.
Bro turned from a god to a depressed eye in a few hundred years. Then gets obliterated by a random ass 2’ tall guy
never was an eye lol Sauron always had a physical form and never was the eye of Sauron
@@deusvult6164yeah, the Jackson trilogy gets a lot of praise, and they are great movies, but they do deviate so much from the books. Sauron had a physical form, he just couldn't leave Barad Dur. Also, he couldn't see Frodo whenever he put on the ring. The scenes where Frodo has these hallucinations of the eye when he puts the ring on are Jackson fiction.
@@garymac5571the eye was more there to remind audiences of saurons presence.
In the deleted scenes, it does show sauron in his physical form when speaking to aragorn by palantir.
The 2 assistant producers in commentary explain this, as they wanted to remind the audience of saurons power and presence.
I feel tge flaming eye is just fine, however my gripe is Jackson's movies make it seem like sauron is literally the eye. Like he's a dormant eye rather than the original intention of tolkein that he's ever present and everywhere.
I looove Jackson's movies, but they should have explained sauron a lot more, including gandalf. My parents watched the trilogy so many times and they had no idea gandalf is basically an angel and sauron is a shadow God, they thought sauron was literally just the strongest orc. And gandalf was an old man. They looked at me like I was crazy explaining everything, then they ended up watching tons of lore videos on RUclips now they love the movies way more.
At least the eye isn't completely fabricated and insulting like alot of this show does, so I don't mind it too much.
@@garymac5571 the final battle has some deleted scenes where aragorn fights sauron but it looked so silly they removed it
I saw The series two Times, all’ actors were great!
SO COOOL!!!
❤
They got his character so right. He’s known as the great deceiver and he was exactly that.
Totally agree on this
Sounds familiar.
Its a shane he just dosent exist in canon
@@Mephisto3111 read the books. Watch the movies. Sauron exists in cannon bozo.
@@KingOfCreampiesI think they meant his Halbrand disguise isn't canon
The guy whose legacy keep continue story of LOTR...what a movie.. Best ever
Sauron was the OG gigachad
Is loyal to his boss Melkor
Is nice to everyone
Gets rejected by his crush
Wages war on the world
And now has thrush in his mouth from going down on Elves that he shouldn't be doing down on. They aren't from around here ya digg?
i like how the only clip from rings of power shown makes him look like the second coming of jesus or some shit
С овцы, хоть шерсти клок-поговорка.
Хоть что то хорошее сделали из сериала ❤
This scene blew my mind. Amazing twist. Can't wait for season 2.
I actually like the show. I didn’t know so many people disliked it!
I dunno
Perhaps because they have butchered the original story, characters and events?
Maybe because you really have low standards
This series is fucking horrible.
If you disagree with me, just tell me who the fuck Halbrand is? Sauron maybe?
Well actually Sauron has many name but Halbrand? Seriously? In the Tolkien Universe, Sauron once took the form of an elve to "help" the elves making the differents Rings of Power (but NOT the 3 who belongs to the elves, which is the reason why they are not corrupted) and guess what, Tolkien actually give him a name. Annatar. Yes Annatar, not Halbrand.
The reason of what this amazon show sucks is because the original story was butchered by Amazon Prime for litteraly no reason.
@@lilianbieth9275you're right about that, but come to think of it, except for some dialogues and scenes it went pretty smooth with hallbrand, as someone who hasn't read the books i didn't feel much disturbance (definitely not as much as i did with star wars and percy jackson)
Sauron: “You think you don’t know who I am now, just wait til you see my wig.”
The CW called, they want their writers back...
Dude CW writers are far more talented than these guys infact your comment is an insult to CW writers
WB writers are wayyy more talented and racially non biased then these smucks
This is an insult to CW writers
During this scene I didn't really feel shocked but in this sdit I actually felt something I felt tension and betrayal, how is that possible?!
Amazing job! 😎👍
hope this series dont die cuz its better then the hobbits triology
We love Sauron ❤
