The story of the Second Age is one driven by its villain: Sauron. Here we see the Dark Lord use his great powers of manipulation time and again, resulting in the Rings of Power and the downfall of Numenor. We also see him use his tools of brute strength, fear, and oppression in his effort to dominate all of Middle-earth.

@Mentallect 2 года назад

Sauron was more interesting than Morgoth because Sauron had to rely on artifacts instead of raw power, alliances rather than outright intimidation and military might. Sauron was a master chess player, immortally patient, and ultimately he desired to fulfill the goals of his master so although Sauron committed great evils, he considered himself middle-earth's benefactor.

@uwesca6263 2 года назад

I like how he is cunning and choses the best aktion to gain his goal. Be it brute force or deception. What i dont like is the lack of motivation behind it. Sure ruling the world is great but both sauron and morgoth conquered a large part of it and than do nothing? The times that morgoth leaves his fortress can be counted on one hand so whats the point in doing so? Even if sauron rules above middle earth he would just sit in baradur an do nothing at all.

The rest yes but voldermort, no. Sauron and the rest started out as good with good with unknowingly selfish intentions. Voldemort was psychopathic, no empathy for any other than himself. Sauron is a better villain then voldermort. You can sympathise with Sauron and get in his head space, but voldemort is pure evil (not chaotic. Chaos is hard to predict but voldermort does not know what he wants himself except pure power over all, sauron wanted that with good intentions)

I love so much Sauron's story arc during the second age. I'd love to see a theatrical version of it such as a play in the vein of a high Greek tragedy, but I wonder if there are too many events to do justice to in just one evening. Perhaps better to focus on just one majoy event such as the capture of Celebrimbor or the Fall of Numenor.

@@thomasrosendahl2783 Melkor is also a GREAT character but totally different from Sauron. He is far greater and more impactful than Sauron is but yet Sauron falls practically to near the same level of evil and domination. The irony is that Sauron had good intentions (the road to hell...). I love them both and it stands a testament to Tolkien that he was able to create TWO equally compelling Dark Lords in his legendarium that are also so different.

@izzyy6469 2 года назад

Your reading of the Ring inscription gave me shivers 😬

@anotherhuman8173 2 года назад

The fact that the Rings took _centuries_ for the greatest smiths of Middle-earth to devise and complete, speaks to their unimaginable intricacy and power. Yet another thing that the "Rings of Power" series is going to fail to portray properly...

@untruelie2640 2 года назад

The most scariest aspect is that the One Ring was powerful enough to control ALL the others (submitting their bearers to Sauron's will). He poured most of his power as a Maia into this object. Think of what that means - Melian was able to fend of the forces of Morgoth with her powers, Eonwe lead the host of Valinor. And all of this power is concentrated for one purpose, to control the minds of others. The One Ring is the ultimate tool of domination, the "ultimate machine" as Christopher Tolkien once said. (a "Tolkien machine" being defined as a tool of domination/coersion) So it shouldn't be a surprise that the ring drives everyone crazy with the lust for power. It is truly horrifying. The fact that Frodo was able to carry it for such a long time without going insane (like Gollum or Boromir) is really amazing. Of course, in the end he did give in to the corrupting power of the ring, when he was at his weakest point and the ring was at its most powerful (at the very place where it had been forged).

Just recently watched the LOTR trilogy with a friend, who at the time neither watched the movies nor read the books. Watching the movies again made me look up videos and stumbling across your channel. It's great to get so much information about Tolkiens world. I do have the LOTR books, but when I first started to read them I found them not easy to read. But I think I will give it a try again.

Amazon should have just had this guy do all the writing for the Rings of Power.

They should of hired you for some of the writing in the rings of power. I read the books and still didn’t realize half of this lol. Very amazing narrations and illustrations on really breaking it down!
