" Looks can be deceiving "
This will be my last Rings of Power video. As obvious as this reveal was, I still think it was well executed. Rewatching the scenes is just another proof of how deceitful the relationship between Halbrand/Sauron and Galadriel was. Anything he did was never in the intent of redeeming himself but deceiving Galadriel in taking him where he needed to go in order to find power again. I tried to take songs that highlighted the contradictions in his portrayal, because this season was more about deceiving than being something truly dark.
Hope you'll like this video, thanks for watching !

“Sauron lives because of you.”
This statement hits hard because Sauron means “the abhorred”. In other words, it means evil and darkness. Halbrand’s real name was Mairon. Sauron is just the title name he used to symbolize Mairon as now evil and not the admirable Maiar he once was.
No se conoce realmente el verdadero nombre de sauron, sauron le llamaban los elfos que significa el aborrecible y cuando los engaño se hizo llamar annatar o el señor de los dones puede ser llamado igual según ciertos títulos que posee como el señor de los anillos, el señor de los dones, el señor de mordor, el nigromante, el señor de los licantropos, el enemigo, etcétera.
@@kcajatapaz7735 True. Mairon is gone, there is only Sauron now.
@@ryankwon8785 just like no more anakin it's only darth now
@@denniscarloreyes4784 Yeah. Season 2 is said to cover Sauron's story before the Raft and after his arrival in Mordor. Maybe we can have Sauron witnessing Morgoth being banished into the Timeless Void by Tulkas and Sauron himself attempting to repent by meeting with Eonwe.
Wasnt the name Sauron given to him by his foes? I am not sure, but I believe I read in The Two Towers that Sauron himself doesnt call himself that. Sarumans orcs had an S painted on their armors. Gimli or Legolas suggested that the S stands for Sauron. Aragorn (or Legolas) replied that he doesnt call himself that.
"I have been awake since before the breaking of the first silence. In that time, I have had many names." That transition to their reflections just gives me goosebumps
the casting director should get a raise. perfect actor for both a lowly southlander and the dark lord! and his chemistry with Galadriel is unmatched
Halbrand/Sauron was the only character on the show of any interest. I'm literally rooting for Sauron.
haha the irony
Same
He was the only reason I watched the show
me too 🤣
he was a fascinating character. the main reason of why i watched that show , what a good surprise to see he was the most baddest dark lord of all time in disguise
I really like what they've done with Sauron. Halbrand is so very likeable. It was always hard to imagine how the wise Elves could have been tricked for so long. Well, now we know. It was vital that the audience gets to experience that feeling for themselves: to feel that they've warmed to someone who is merely using them.
It's fascinating, too, to watch these clips and wonder just how much Halbrand/Sauron is telling the truth. About being penitent. At times he really seems to mean it. My theory is that, as an evil being, he simply does not understand goodness. He WANTS to be good, but it's a power beyond him. He thinks being good is just saying the right things and taking the right side. He's the psychopath who says sorry but never truly understands what it was he did wrong.
And that's his tragedy. He'll never know why he failed at being good.
This is actually a really good take on me… I got some thinking to do. Wow.
So very well said
The thing about Sauron was he was actually a being with good intentions right from the start. He understands good, just not wholly. His vision was to organize and bring order to all of Arda, in a grand scale. What he doesn't understand is how little things also is good. To him, anything smaller than grand unification was merely a tool. And his actions to him were a necessary evil for what he perceived to be a noble purpose. And so, as time passed, he fell further in further to evil because of what he did in his ambitions.
perhaps the most interesting character, followuing him was enough fascinating
From his point of view he would have created a better, more orderly and more powerful Middle Earth.
She convinced him to be the Dark Lord. Epic.
Lets kick Galadriel's ass.
Wow-- stunning video! I love the music you chose. Halbrand as Sauron was expected...no good guy leaves his companions (on the raft) to die-- or almost beats people to death in a bar fight. However...it was still a heart breaker. Galadriel was so blinded by revenge and pain that she never saw what was right in front of her. Plus, she was falling for him and his dark charm. 😪
It's interesting to see how Sauron, or Mairon, was troubled within himself. Perhaps it was all a ruse on his part, but I'd like to believe he truly wants to do good in his own twisted way.
Like thanos
I also do, and loved his arc, how his cunningness and habilities were depicted
"Wants to do good in his own twisted way" is literally Sauron's character - he values order above all else, no matter the cost. He initially used deception to enforce it, and when Eru stripped him of that ability, military might in the third age.
I think after Adar (allegedly) killed him, he lost hope and went to Valinor to seek forgiveness before changing his mind (hence why he was on the raft, I think Amazon are screwing with the timeline), and then Galadriel put him back on the path of tyranny.
Unfortunately, the Silmarillion casts him in a much more negative light. He is defeated, claims he repents and is compelled to return to Valar and go before Manwe and receive his repentance and judgment. He chooses to flee to the Far East instead. So I would say that as far as the show goes to try and paint him in a more sympathetic light, he remains what he always has been: Sauron the deceiver. The player of the long game.
@@mattstyles He still is hinted as conflicted with his idea of perfection for middle earth
Everyone can interpret Season1 how they want, but I did not see him deceiving Galadriel all along, he repeatedly and consistently tried to stay away from Middle Earth and her plans. When he did join her he went all in fighting her enemies and helping her, even later helping the Elves with their project. Since we aren't following the books by the letter, I think it's less than clear that he is actually gaining anything by working with the Elven smiths of Eregion at this point.
The script does not make any sense, do not try to find a logical explanation. It is just a crappy TV series.
I think he was being honest. I think he really wanted to be good and that at this point when he was with her he truly believed what he was saying to her. However, I also think Morgoth's corruption ran so deep that Sauron couldn't even see how far gone he was
THE BEST EDIT IVE SEEN ABOUT SAURON. WOW IM SPEECHLESS
Thank you !!
Halbrand never deceive Galadriel. High elven king, Gil Galad foresaw that galadriel pursuit of evil will bring evil instead. Halbrand has given up of crafting new power, but galadriel inspired him to not give up. Hence, i halbrand never deceive galadriel.
Very cool video, hoping for more of Sauron in the second series
It seems odd he would keep that form though now that the cat is out of the bag
That would be cool but I heard Charlie has the role for as long as the show runs
I think what might happen is that Sauron will continue to take Halbrand's form for awhile. The people of the Southlands don't know what happened to him. My guess is that Galadriel will inform them that their king is dead, and he will return to them later and deceive a large faction of them into turning against the elves.
This feels way bigger and more heartfelt than the show..
Shows some of the potential that the show actually had.
- Great work!
It really comes down to the execution. The music, the dialogue, and the imagery here is absolutely perfect
Honestly it helps me realise what their going for with Sauron and I love it
They just aren’t exploring it as well as I’d hope
Halbrand is a mesmerizing character.
Actually, now that I think about it, erudamn Sauron managed to put a spell on me too. It might be only me, but Halbrand-Sauron is among the top movie-characters ever.
I freaking knew it. Ever since that run in that he had at that tavern in Numenor with those men he ends up brawling with. Something felt very off about him.
Yep and just look at my video on my channel it has a huge outcome
Same
Anyone familiar with Tolkien's lore would have picked a dozen hints Halbrand is Sauron so no surprises there for them. Curiously, these same people were loudly cursing the show for ignoring Tolkien's lore 🙄
@@akikolehmainen88 Simply adding hints about Sauron and ignoring a vast amount of other lore doesn't balance out.
The most shocking revelation in all of televised history! 😄
WOW, I HAVE CHILLS! This captured his journey in season 1 SO WELL! It makes it so clear what his actual goal is, but also how he managed to manipulate everyone around him. And of course, your sound design here is impeccable!! Your talent never ceases to amaze me ❤
You put more love and effort and logic into this 4 minute edit, than Amazon put into the entire show
I loved this plot twist, Halbrand was Sauron! It made the show more interesting! Love it 👌🏻
Yeah I thought that halbrand would be revealed as the witch king of angmar but a pretty solid twist altogether.
@@zacglover3345 Angmar is his own person though, plus Sauron's alias was Halbrand in the books
@@gamerstheater1187 no it wasn't he had the name Annatar during the Second Age when the rings were being made
oh i loved the silence in the beginning and the scenes and sounds which followed right after that together with the music.. this was already so beautiful. very epic editing
Thank you so much
But imagine she would have become his queen 😧 They would have been an unbeatable couple....Light and Power 🔥
Saurondriel in the tabloids
He would have corrupted her light in the end. He had no interest for her light, but for her equal potential for darkness, seeing a kindred being in her. I believe that is part of why he was so furious when she refused his offer
@@Meggimagine lmfao talking about "light" or any "good" qualities of this racist sadist. Only Adar has any redeeming qualities
@@kasperwozowicz ??
He wouldn't let her become a Queen at his Side,he would most likely get rid of her once her use is over
Only reason Galadriel turned him down is because he can't tell the difference between saving and ruling the world
Because that is the only reason between good and evil
Galadriel also went to middle earth to rule in the first place and have her own rule but nothing like his.
Gil, thranduil they all wanted to rule.
Saurons was different type
This edit was beyond incredible.
Never thought Sauron would end up being my favourite -- I can never again root for his defeat 😅😂
He truly wanted to heal Middle earth but according to him it could be done only through his absolute enlightened rule. After all he was a servant of aule the best among the valar for technical knowledge about the earth metals. Nobody could surpass sauron in terms of order, administration, technological knowledge
He wants order because he believes chaos to be the truest evil.
To achieve the power necessary to bring about the order he seeks, he takes after Morgoth, because he recognizes Morgoth’s power as a great tool for constructing the order he desires.
Unification under one ruler. One Middle Earth. One Nation.
Amazing work, it's a shame everything related to RoP gets a decent amount of downvotes without second thoughts. I enjoyed the show, as well as your video!
I've noticed that too, there is an unreasonable amount of hate for the show, even long before it came out.
@@liamfaoisidheold toxic Tolkien fans.
@@tayluvofficial not toxic. I'm a tolkien fan and gave the show the benefit of the doubt. And watching it I hated the fact that they skipped several key important lore nuggets, added the random new stuff, amongst many other things. Above all, I hated all the harfoot scenes because they were so slow and boring but also the Harfoots didn't have a major role in the second age.
Although to give credits, I think Halbrand was a formidable actor.
@@h3xa817 No, they're toxic. I mean you can legit dislike the show, but the shere seething hatred they show for is just sad. I thought it was alright, I enjoy the books, but everyone needs to calm down.
@@Chris44sun I beg to differ. There are some toxic fans out there: most notably defined by their racism towards the cast members but they're a substrate. If you're going to cluster those buffoons into the lot then you're mistakened. Many of the fans hating on the show have different reasons to do so: not keeping up with the lore, homogenous characters, ghastly costume design that look excruciatingly pretentious and even many of the scenes not vibing like middle earth.
For example: non of the harfoot scenes gave me middle earth impression. If you enjoyed the show then more power to you, but in a world where house of the dragons is a thing, I expect ROP to stand on par. Another thing that annoys me off about ROP is the fact that elves actually had long hair in their original concept arts (all their concept arts have elves with long hair) but for whatever reason in the end product they sought to cut cost and go for an elvis presley hair style which makes no sense given the proto medieval timeline. However, I will agree that the show did have some really great moments and I personally thogurouly enjoyed galadriel's acting, and the mithril backstory - even though it was totally made up for the show.
It's a shame when the fan vids of the Rings of Power are better than the series.
I'll take the compliment lmfao
Best video edit of a show I've seen in a long time. Nice job!
Sauron was so impressed by Galadriel´s sociopathic character that he wanted her on his side. She is vital for the evil cause 😂
He loved her when she wanted genocide for orcs
He fell in love with her when she called for a final solution for Orcs😂😂😂
Sauron carried this show. Then again, I’ve always been more fascinated with Sauron.
This is a good edit. Sauron was the only character I actually enjoyed in this show. The actor did a good job despite the writing. I actually sympathized with him.
This was AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for making and sharing!
She should have accepted and ruled with him together Middle Earth, would have been best and prevented another wars. Light and Power.
Strange, they make Halbrand so likeable without intention. He was fully prepared to leave middle earth after his defeat with Adar. Galadriel provided him with the confidence and means for a new purpose to make middle earth as he saw fit. Imagine if Galadriel had taken his side, he wouldn’t have been so evil as she could have steered him towards light, which he states. Parallels with Darth Vader how he was originally just evil but with the prequels you learn he was just misunderstood and followed a path without thought of the chaos pursued.
In Italy we say, "Piango anche l'acqua del battesimo." This video is a masterpiece, thank you!!! ♥
Thank you so much !!
Credo di non aver mai trovato un commento più puntuale di questo su YT 😂
In Greece we say "είσαι πολύ όμορφη και σε αγαπώ πολύ". ❤
In Hungary we say: ez a videó egy remekmű, köszönöm! ☺️
I am addicted to this video right now. Brilliantly edited together. And that was the perfect last line to end it on.
This is the most beautifula and wonderful edit of them i've ever seen. Galadriel and Sauron chemistry is unmatched.
Great edit. Look forward to more Charlie Vickers as Sauron.
I dont like this show but the Sauron actor was a good cast. He makes Sauron look sympathetic, like the good guy.
Really nice sound effects that add a trailer like style to your video. Love it!
This is 10 times better than the series.
this is LITERALLY the series
@@ultronemperor3525 tf do you mean? This show is shit
@@ultronemperor3525 Minus 7.5 hours of schlock…so, no, this is not literally the series. Much was improved by limiting Galadriel’s dialogue and leaving out the tedious Numenoreans, Southlanders, dwarves and the psychopathic proto-hobbits. I know this is like plucking out the best parts of a CW series, but that’s the only thing this series did right. It’s almost as if they should have left poor Tolkien’s work alone and made a mid-evil Twilight like story.
@@hawaiianpunch781 gonna cry?
@@cyberwarrior8382 so is your comment, yet I will not cry about it
2:34 I only now realize how these few sentences link to so many characters. Not only the characters that received the rings, but also Saruman and Denethor II, for example. They were afraid and aspired to power. Power to restrain the great evil. Ring or not, they were all deceived.
"I have been awake since before the breaking of the first silence. In that time, I have had many names", my fav quote of all time. i know who he is before it was revealed at season finale. i'll wait for his arrival.
What a plottwist. The Dude who is interessted in Celebrimbors smithing art and is a master smith himself is Sauron?! The Dude who looks like Gandalf is Gandalf!? In season 2 we will find out that Galadriel is THE Galadriel from LOTR!
Nobody could have seen this 😂
😂😂😂😂
keep dreaming...theres no way galadriel from the series is galadriel from the books :D
"You bind me to light, and i bind you to power"
I feel like this is important line because the one rings idea was binding people in the darkness. I feel like Sauron was offering Galadriel a way to defeat Sauron by making him a good person "bind me to the light" and that in order to do that galadriel had to be okay with being his queen "Bind you to power"
Galadriel saw this as a perversion, where she thinks that if she's bound to power, he would corrupt her. But i think maybe this isn't truly what could have happened if she had said yes and forgiven him of his past sins.
It's worth noting that a 3rd option, is that this line is a lie and its all a deception...where Sauron is just super super evil beyond redemption.
I absolutely loved his arc in this show, and I thought the show was great as a whole. The only thing I wish they did different was waiting to reveal Sauron's identity.
I know it was becoming pretty obvious that Halbrand was Sauron, but everything coming to fruition kind of felt a bit rushed to me. I wish they took more time for Mordor to be created and for his actual plan to be enacted. Allowed him to be king for a little while and win over his people. Made room for him to develop an even deeper bond, "trust," and even kindred love with Galadriel.
I guess it depends on where the show takes his character, especially since they seem to be taking the stance that he actually was trying to repent and avoid Middle Earth but was thrown back into the darkness inadvertently by Galadriel. But right now, it feels like something they could have let sit a little longer.
Very well done mate. Love it
this edit is better than the whole show. They should remake the way they handle the elves in the upcoming seasons.
this edit is better than the actual show
Wow this was actually brilliantly done
Sauron want to change his ways and wanna do good...but that dumb galad restricted him not to be...
Despite many things the RoP did wrong i think that the Halbrand and Adar are well made
This edit is better than the whole show.
This is S tier. Please make more sauron edit 🙏
This feels like watching anakin skywalker slowly transforming into darth vader
love how this reveal was totally a surprise... did they have Pulitzer prize winning writers to disguise it so well? the world may never know
10/10 video, watched it like 5 times.
“Identify what it is your opponent fears. And give them a means of mastering it.”
I really love this world, the world created by Tolkien. Long before this series, I was thinking about the path of becoming Sauron. And I'm glad that this series gave me a chance to see this little line between good and evil, where Galadriel and Sauron inspire each other, bring each other back to life. So that everyone goes their own way.. The path of evil and good, the amazing line between these worlds.
Evil helps good, and good helps evil, they are united in their despair so much that love is practically born..
Damn, this epic edit almost makes the show look good...
Maybe Sauron wasn‘t that evil, maybe just misunderstood…
This edit is just brilliant ❤
You say it was obvious but I never considered it. Of course, I don't go to forums or read tweets about a show while it's on, because I know in the past I kept reading theories that ended up spoiling stuff, so I stopped doing that.
an amazing video befitting the true lord of the rings
I am so mad at frodo because of the murder of this reasonable man
ikr
Damn this makes sauron actually likeable
Amazing work... Congrats this edit is awesome!
Everyone missing that point that Sauron SHOULD be likeable, he’s not called Sauron the Deceiver for nothing. The writers nailed it tbf
He's the only character who is nice to Galadriel.
You forgot Elrond and Elendil...
Thats not true!
because he was trying to recruit her
not out of his goodness.
he tried to drown her when she refused to join her.
Amazing video, thank you!❤🙏
Being a Dark Lord is not an easy task yet still I think Sauron did a great job considering he had so many protogonists eager to take him down all of the time
BEAUTIFUL video.....
thank youuuuuu
I really wanted them together. For her to change him- he did leave to tell everyone what he did- and he was honest in saying he's done many evils things and when everyone finds out them n her will cast her out. He was looking for peace to she brought him back to power- it's not her fault she didn't know. I just really wanted to see them together n a love scene between them.
Why shouldn't we think like that?
Sauron is the only living being in the story from the first moment. He deserves respect.
He disappeared for a long time after the great evil was banished from Arda. Others said he was plotting evil and waiting for the right time. But perhaps he was seeking forgiveness and a way to return to goodness and light after so much wrong and sorrow. He wanted to rule the world, justified by the great power within him.
Galadriel was an opportunity...
This time I stand for Sauron [doge].
Love this video!! Can't wait for season 2.
Tolkein's character arc of Sauron is profound enough so that this TV series accidently made him the best character of season 1, in an otherwise lousy show. Sauron convinced the producers to keep the show confused about who Halbrand might be for at least 1, maybe 2 episodes, cast him with some heartbreak appeal, quietly supernatural, and then allowed acting and stage presence to overshadow the other characters, and by the time the audience knew who he was, they were rooting for him anyway. As the writing goes, when God placed a barrier between the heavens and the earth, only navigable by the elves, he also took away Sauron's ability to assume a fair form. It will come as no surprise when they rest season 2 on the shoulders of Tolkein's title character.
Love that music and put it into LOTR Saga 🤩
This is amazing. Thank you!
This is amazing edit. Sauron is not a villain in this video.
Esse edit ficou melhor que a série.
In Turkish we say, "şahane olmuş". It means "It is awesome (The video was made expertly)".
Another Rings Of Power banger!
Amazing edit😍 can't stop watching it 😄
amazing! 🤩
Beautiful edit!
Beautiful video.
Why would the dark lord fight alongside elves and humans?
The same reason Hitler fought alongside the Soviets against the Poles.
because thats what he did in the books most of his time until last age.
Charlie Vickers is so hot, I'd say yes immediately, I don't care if he is the dark lord or Halbrand or whatever name he wants to call himself hahaha
For those who have never read Tolkien's works and have only seen the Prime Video series, they think it was all very good. From the point of view of aesthetics, photography and special effects: yes! It was wonderful. However, for me, the script choices were terrible. The change of Sauron's name when he helped forge the rings of power in Lindon, assisting Celebrimbor, from Annatar to Halbrand: why? No sense at all. Galadriel's story is nonsensical. Tolkien never said that Galadriel was in Númenor when she was in Middle-earth. Furthermore, he was a High Noldor, he would never have needed Gil-Galad's permission to return to the Undying Lands (in fact, not even Gil Galad had this power, which was the Valar's alone). The arrival of the Istari on a comet tearing through the sky? What the fuck! Although they couldn't use the story of The Silmarillion or The Lord of the Rings in the saga (due to copyright issues), they had to make the story AT LEAST make sense in relation to the first and third eras.
i cannot wait for the next season lets go already
Absolutely fantastic! I would love to see a remake when more seasons come out so we have more content of Sauron to add to this. Sadly his appearances in the Jackson films dont quite add a lot of content to tributes...
Sauron saved MIddle Earth by making the all rings thus keeping the light of the trees alive. It is very sad.
Cyril the savior of middle earth
i had no clue he is sauron. i know the movies pretty well and watched them like 50 times, haven't read a single word of the books though. the fact that he was sauron in the end was VERY disappointing.
why disappointing ?
Most people knew it.
Sauron looks as handsome as Lucifer himself.
Halbrand is a fascinating character who chooses evil as his guide in the guise of Sauron.
*What do you know of darkness?*
🔥👁🔥
Amazing edit!!
Very well made. Thank you
This was phenomenal!
Loved it!!
