In the original Silmarilion, Sauron is basically Klaus Schwab. After the war between the archangels (Valar) and Satan (Melkor), the world is devastated. Mountains flattened, forests burnt to ash, cities ruined. The archangels vow to never intervene directly again in their full power to avoid such devastation. They withdraw from middle earth to Valinor (heaven), located across the ocean. Sauron is ordered to submit himself for punishment, for following Satan. However, seeing the world in ruins, Sauron thinks to himself "The world is ruined, and the archangels aren't even going to pick up the pieces. This world needs someone to bring order to it. To organize it. To tell it what to do. Someone like me." He then proceeds to go around in the form of a beautiful elf trying to convince the peoples of Middle Earth to come together in unity and peace under his globalist agenda, and then turning their leaders into hollowed out soulless puppet slaves once they let him in.
Its interesting considering Tolkien didn't like the Anglicisation of language across the empire, comparing it to the people of Babel
Amazon also apparently forgot to include any space for 3 big glowing rocks in the crown being used to stab everyone.
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 Tolkien was an idiot, my favorite one but honestly one should take everything he said with that filter in mind.
@@Adamantos-Elean he definitely wasn't an idiot, he knew less than you don't know
Poor sauron. He just wanted to live and be loved but the mean middle earth was too cruel to him. He really wanted to save middle earth with his family oriented army!!!!!
He just wanted to live, laugh, love.
Well I'd vote for him over real life Democrats!
"Morty, I've turned myself into a pickle!"- Sauron, Season 3 (probably)
Sire! Are you procrastinating from completing that napoleon review?
It wasn't the funniest.
Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy is irreplaceable, it was hilarious to see every time Rings of Power tried and failed to imitate even the tiniest crumb it's soul and charm.
RoP was to LOTR what a pit toilet was to indoor plumbing
Like a Cargo Cults leaf and twig model of a helicopter sitting next to a Huey
Doesn't matter if it can be "replaced", they just need to bury it under heaps of more recent garbage and it may as well never have existed.
@@wrongthinker843 They can try to bury Mount Tolkien. I will watch their futile efforts with contempuous amusement.
It failed precisely because they missed the entire point of it. LoTR was intended first and foremost as replacement mythology for the English and as such drew heavily on Germanic and Celtic mythology (as you'd expect for a Celto-Germanic group) and some Greek influence. It also had a strong underlying theme of Christian morality, mixed with some pagan aspects (as is also in keeping within English history). They discarded all of this and it shows in how meaningless and shallow it now is.
Sadly Tolkein's grandson has shit all over his father & grandfather's work with phrases like "Can we make a troll with the arc of Mike Ermintrout from breaking bad"
The father builds it, the son maintains it, the grandchildren waste it away
More and more makes me not feel any regret for never having children.

My favorite part was when Sauron roundhouse kicked Tony Soprano in the all valley tournament and said stings, doesn't it?
Sauron wasn't an eye, he had reformed a body since being thrown down by Elendil and Gil Galad.
That was one of the things I liked about the Shadow games. They depicted his body as the black part of the eye surrounded by fire to make Jackson's eye. I thought it was a cool visual.
But then again, we also got sexy shelob...
@@radagast7200 I think the hobbit films also did the body being the black part of the eye
Who knew the scourge of Middle-earth was the comically adorable love child of Marvel’s Venom, and Disney’s Flubber…
“Baby Yoda” vibes!
Hopefully, there will be a Funko Pop…
Sauron was never a giant eye on top of a tower; that is PJ's artistic license
Going off of memory from the book, the eye is sort of an extension but he definitely has a body separate from it.
@@orksy2935Gollum meets with the body
He was only a dark form. His eye was all that could solidify. With a flame surrounding it.
PJ did the story a disservice by showing it the way he did.
its the freemasonic logo. compass=sauron, eye=eye of sauron, set square=orcs
@@natmanprime4295 No.
What's a FATBERG, Prescious?

hahahah ewwwww
My working theory atm is that ROP has been so widely criticised by true Tolkien fans that the producers are now just rubbing their noses in it, which is perfectly fine because no one is watching their dogshit, no one knows their names, and they'll likely never get work moving forward ever again.
This isn't Tolkien, this is Harry Potter. That's not Sauron, it's Lord Voldemort.
This shows a total lack of imagination.
That’s an insult to Harry Potter as well. Voldemort is also entirely unsympathetic and pure evil, willing to kill anyone who even slightly does anything untoward against him. Any narrative that would try to justify Voldemort would be an aberration to the lore and canon of the series.
@@Guns_Blazin Harry Potter is a pile of crap which can be distilled into 'pale people who don't want to mix with outsiders bad, ragtag band of misfits who want to mix good' - this is literally the entire story.
The Hobbit started my love for fantasy when I was 11, I managed about 15 minutes of the Amazon screw up then rage quit.
Sauron's speech mobilizing the orcs into action would look like this:
Sauron- 'FOLLOW!'
Orcs-
' Yes,Lord'.
Sauron addresses his minions with preferred pronouns to affirm the totally egalitarian company culture.
*I embrace head canon.*
Not because I disrespect the work of great authors, but so that conglomerates, hacks, and activists cannot ruin it.
*I am my canon’s own steward.*
No, move into a different frame. In your head (and I hope in hard copies of the books) you are a steward of the actual canon.
Whatever thing Amazon has produced is not even worthy of being called a bad fan fiction, because fans didn’t make it. Whatever the law says about IP, whatever the media and simple minded say, the works of Amazon are not and will never be canon. Calling Amazons manure pile of a show canon is to spread the lies of Melkor!
[looks at the name 'Sauron' closely]
"Magnify and enhance. Enhance. Focus on sector 3G. There!"
[name resolves into 'Squid Ink Chow Mein']
Fact check: Orcs aren't born from dirt, that was a Peter Jackson thing. They just breed normally. Whether they came from elves is also only one possible explanation for the origin, despite the films. Saruman's uruks were thought to be cross-breeds of orcs and men.
Orcs were elves that were taken and corrupted. I'm pretty sure that's well known.
I was coming to say the same thing. Orcs "multiply like the children of Illuvitar" or something, Tolkein said it in a fancier way but still. And that doesn't mean they care for their children, raising them in a loving home, it just means they get impregnated & give birth in the way that men do, personally I assume that orc babies are raised in pits of some sort where only the strong survive.
I am pretty sure that the generally accepted hypothesis for the original creation of the orcs is corrupted elves though.
Tolkien gave multiple speculated origins of the orcs. The first one he gave was that orcs were created from stone by Melkor, which is probably the origin that Peter Jackson read and depicted in his movies.
@@TheAmericanPrometheusthat kind of spits in the face Aule and his dwarves, which I believe were the only people not made by illuvitar, although illuvitar still had to breathe life into them.
Yo be fair Peter Jackson depicted the birth of the Uruk-Hai... which are man Orc Hybrids, and assisted in their creation by magic...
I just found this channel. I'm a 43 yr old stone mason from Beavercreek Ohio just fyi. great video. this utter trash and desecration needs exposed and ridiculed and laughed at. this rop is fkn shht
The basis of Sarouns legitimacy as dark lord was he was Morgoths lieutenant intact Tolkien writes that Sarouns had actually dwarfed Morgoth by the second age because he invested so much of his power into his servants.
This before he’s poured his power into the one ring or the ruin of numenor (causing the destruction of his physical form) Saroun shouldn’t be this weak
The ego to believe you can change Canon just like the Author! These people are the human equivalent of the Tolkien orcs! Can only destroy not create!
Funny to hear someone reference Ian Malcolm's rant from Jurassic Park. I reference that quote so often in current year, I've got it memorized.
I hate the amazon rop series, it's an abomination. But, I feel I should point out: This was the 'dark lord' regenerating. It wasn't him out of his armour. He was essentially a shape shifter after all.
The 'dark lord' has the form of an elf at this point.. although these elves in this abomination all look like a dei soap opera cast.
I tried to watch it to be informed about my hatred for the trailer but couldn't stomach it after episode 1 20 mins in! Outrageously insulting to Tolkien! The worst part is the woke producers are CLEARLY trying to ruin our Anglo-Saxon mythology!
Morgoth never died.
You know your evil when your reincarnated as Chow Mein
you're* ffs
As Tolkien wrote the Lord of the rings in a fantasy story because if he wrote it in the biblical perspective the reader would rejected the message ( the worldly minded) 2024 people don't get the message instead it's totally abused. Like Jesus Christ said: in the end days there will be a generation what sees Evil as good and Good is seen as Evil. God bless Tolkien
This is really the same as having the Emperor pose as a politician deeply involved in trade disputes or Yoda dealing with Jedi politics, floating on his little hover-chair through the halls of power with a stern look on his face. These are all examples of not understanding the fundamental roles of these characters
They ran over the Dark Lord with a horse carriage.
Despite still involving politics, this was a very welcome and entertaining convo from the lads...! 👍🏻👍🏻
What was that line they used in starwars? There's too much lore to dig through, we'll make up our own! Totally origional! And good!
...morons.
7:10 - The Kylo Ren helmet-off moment was strike 2 for me.
The walls are a metaphor for the ocean lol
Redpilled on the JQ, the Jurassic park Question.
Thats the most idiotic thing i think ive ever heard
A lotr expert says theres no such thing as canon
Then WTF ARE YOU AN EXPERT IN?!
Shilling…
These videos with lord of the rings commentary were awesome! I love the books growing up and found this fun to listen to for a change
They could have had Sauron wearing some kind of menacing looking mask or hood or something.
A MAGA hat
10:51 This is the big thing when it comes to adapations of books turned into movies, shows, etc. YOU don't get to make big changes. Yea yea, somethings gotta change, but adjusted, excluded... but the worst sin is introducing crap that wasn't in there in the first place. Abridging is fine, rewriting is not.
They straight ripped that idea from stranger things
I liked this whole sequence in the show
Sauron looks like the Talking Blob from Cracked Magazine.
I do think tolkein gave him a form he took to interact directly with numenor and when he delivered the rings. But it was always depicted more as an illusion.
I think the point is;
The dark lord comes in many forms.
An all seeing Eye.
A wonderous and aluring figure.
A graven name one fears to speak.
A foreboding structure.
An imposing warrior clad in dark plate.
An unyeilding tide of monstrous soldiers.
all equally overbearing in one way or another.
Uuuh.. Black Goo coming alive into some monstrous thing that is out for murder, mostly the franchise that proposes it..? hmmm.. sounds familiar...
Oh, wait... Tolkien's franchise a prequel to Alien's franchise confirmed...
Now we know what the Black Goo of Alien-Prometheus was about... the Xenomorphs are really aspects of Sauron.. Essentially Magical-Space-Orcs... it all makes so much sense now...
*curls up in a corner and starts sobbing*

@@goa9034 you gotta check out nerdrotics analysis. He points out every single way the show breaks cannon. Its outstanding. ¡Que maravillosa!

Harry was dead right about canon.
Slimeon.
The only thing that could make me watch this show would be if it told the story of the great ethnic cleansing of the mixed-race elves.
"theres no such thing as canon" "the rings of power dont really break canon"
Actually they should have used lighting to make his face bright and hard to see any features.
I bet Harry's not wearing any pants!
Having read and watched Slime Datta Ken I will always respect a slime monster that can consume anything and utilize its skills and form. That said I'm sure that this is just a separate instance of the same consept that has appeared many times before and in each and every case has been made better than Rings of Power. RoP Sauron has nothing on Rimuru or Tensoon.
Sauron likes indian food
Hail Odin! The fact that Tolkien based Lord of the Rings on Anglo-Saxon England should be read by every school aged child. Literally Good vs Evil.
It is intended to be a myth for the English, as Tolkien strongly lamented that the English lost much of theirs during the iconoclasm of the Reformation. They won't even acknoeldge he said this, let alone stay true to it.
You guys are marvelous! And it must be said, easy on the eyes (grin). I loved that you laughed at this horrible show. I laughed my way through season 1 and most of season 2, but then I got angry. Especially when Miriel gives Elindil the sword, Narsil. If you put that scene, side-by-side with Elrond's giving Narsil to Aragorn, it is beat for beat a replica. It is SO unearned and I was fuming. This show is awful. I'm mad enough to cancel my prime membership and I'm not kidding. I really can't think of anything I need or want that badly as to continue supporting the company behind this garbage.
Amazon: It must be a hollow envious feeling to hate something (Tolkien's masterpiece) so bad you spend billions to ruin it.
It's funny that critics have to consume the megacorp turds to produce content covering their thoughts on the taste and texture of aforementioned turds, thus contributing to the brewing of megacorp entertainment products.
I prefer to not consume.
Kylo-Ren, and that one 1/2 redhead and 1/2 black female actress who was a "space pirate" or something in that Soylo movie, those are the worst face reveals in all of cinema.
Maybe Adam Driver was really off putting to me because I had never seen him in anything before TLJ, so I was thinking "who tf is this Emo Scenster who works part time at Hot Topic"?
But that girl, who had the cool helmet and a cool Star Wars helmet voice, OBVIOUSLY sounded like a dude or Humungus from The Road Warrior. But imagine my shock when Disney revealed to us, the paying audience, a 13 year old girl......? smfh
Nothing can escape! The Humungus rules the wasteland!
Why is Harry using an RE20?
you're not a bass or kick drum
Fatberg in a London sewer was funny from Josh
Not pipe weed, unfortunately.
You guys except the guest don't seem to know much about Tolkien's world either. Orcs do indeed multiply normally. The Hobbit and Appendices show their behavior without Sauron. In the book, you also hear of Orc deserters. They are evil but more complex than animals. Sauron didn't originally follow Melkor/Morgoth but left Valinor later. Therefore, he keeps his Angelic looking bodyshapes until he drowns on Numenor when Eru sinks it. From then on, all his forms showed his evil personality. But yes, the black goo is silly and RoP in general is blasphemy
all tv and films are crap these days the odd thing here and there is ok, anime seems to be one of the last stands
I thought the title said Sargon 😂
I had the original first printings of the simirillian ,rings trilogy and the hobbit, hard back and my mother gave them away to charity not knowing what they were, it still had the map in the simirillian perfect no damage
My bio father left me nothing but a rice paper 1st edition leather bound edition of Lord of the Rings. I felt I got the best from him 😊
AY UP LOTUS EATERS
I'm not even that big into LOTR, but RoP is just a really bad show.
Elves and even normal people, horses can survive pyroclastic flows head on, even as it literally makes structures explode. It is a scene so unbelievably dumb, but we're meant to then feel tension that any of these characters can die when they survive something vastly more dangerous than basically the entire rest of the plot..
they stole it from elden rings putresence concept of all that is rotten gathers at the bottom
No orcs are not born from dirt. It says it in the silmarillion and other sources. They are born like men and elves
However that does NOT justify their horrid depiction of a loving orc family.
And no, sauron was always a cunning trickster.
I respect you guys, but seriously read source material before making declarative arguments on the setting or arguing Amazon's crappy decisions from a lore perspective.
yes, orcs represent degeneration. thats a crucial difference
this is an interesting concept for a monster
it's underwhelming for Sauron
Sauron is not the most intimidating dark lord in middle earth.
Well then…he must be humiliated, pathologized, and then redeemed…
Millennial tropes.
Yeah, honestly you make a lot of mistakes about the lore in this video. There is quite a lot of source material for the stories here but amazon has completely bastardized it.
On the point of not showing Sauron out of his armour. No, the whole story arc of the second age has him as an incredibly beautiful man in lavish clothing. He is meant to be seen as some kind of half-god philanthropist to the people he meets
i like the mexican guy hes funny
Nobody on that panel is Mexican.
I figured out what Rings of Power’s issue is- This is Lord of The Rings if it were written by Protestants.
no
@@natmanprime4295 He likely meant it as comedic hyperbole but joking aside, Tolkien wrote it specifically because the protestants destroyed a lot of English myths during the reformation. He made this quite explicit. It's not the protestants doing this now but Tolkien only wrote it because the protestants already did this sort of thing.
@@14Anon2 shh
It's Lord of the Rings written by JJ Abrams.
Sauron did not own the orcs - Morgoth did. I thought The Rings Of Power was really good - you have to park your brain and don't over think it. You've showed the worst part.
If you needed to be lobotomized to enjoy the show then the show isn't good.
