my hot take is I still believe the hate Rings of Power got was largely social contagion and motivated reasoning by people who wanted to hate it more than the show actually being bad.
"Nothing was evil in the beginning. Not even Sauron "
Also Tolkien in the Silm & letters : Sauron attempted to repent
Weird incel : It never happened, this is all made-up 🙃
Let them talk and let them hate THIS IS RINGS OF POWER SAURON , Whatever you say or thread you make, nothing gonna change that ! And Next season he gets to flex as SAURON! it’s gonna be glorious !!!!

it's funny how sauron was kinda "on a journey of self-discovery and redemption" but then galadriel went "everybody makes mistakes" and he was like "ok then"
So....
This guy really went, "what if my form is of an alluring man attractive enough to catch the eye of the most beautiful and powerful elf so i’d make her my queen and we’d run the world " and then did this
Starting a rewatch of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Feel like this show caught too much flack—for the wrong reasons no less. A slow burn cooked to perfection. An epic drama in scale matched only by its incredible beauty.
What are your thoughts on the series?
I was in disbelief, sppechless , dazed , shocked, hands were shaking, heart pounding, tears forming THE BETRAYAL, His face when he blocked the knife 😰 THIS FACE !! I WILL NEVER RECOVER
Halbrand / sauron was such a great reveal . i dont think anyone's recognized how masterful it was to introduce someone who was SO damn suspicious, someone who SO many thought was sauron but couldn’t PROVE it and ppl still complain abt the writing 🤦🏻♀️
We’re about to see THE DARK LORD like we have never seen before!
We have never seen anything like him rise to power and dominate before we may never see it again
