Well done Sir, brilliant prediction.

I didnt believe it at first but it turned out to be true. Well predicted. To be fair though, my father guessed it too, by simply making one theory after another until one was right

The idea that the writers were playing a trick on us making us think Halbrand is a Sauron while in fact he isn't was actually something I briefly thought about aswell. However, when you see how the rest of the show and characters turned out, it was very clear they simply wouldn't have that kind of cleverness all of sudden.

Well, I'm very glad I didn't watch any potential spoiler videos as I just binged the entire 8 episodes in two days and I really had no idea. But to tell you the truth my Lord of the Rings lore is very rusty, haven't watched the original movies in probably over a decade.

I like how you call the writers not intelligent enough but then swear fealty to them by watching the entire show and making videos on plot theories

KAIZOKU ONI ORE WA NARU

Sauron did nothing wrong, time to kill Galadriel, real evil of this world.

@eula eula!!!!

Just believe in yourself and he can be whatever you want him to be!

Sauron might be someone they created maybe it was an Orc named Sauron and he was stronger than others and so the myth and legend started about him ?

An excellent plot twist. No one could have predicted it.

Lol

Hihihi

Omg! Excellent plot twist

Tell this to *Nerd of the Rings* , he is becoming a self-styled guru and god of the Tolkien lore (read: he is a idiot bent on getting more bucks from his shitty, ads-ridden vids).

Lmaoooooo "the lord of stories" 😩

Jesus christ, just kill me now.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 WIN.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And who has a better story, than- oh wait it’s LOTR everyone has a better story.

Now that's one good plot twist

😂

the theories about this show are just as bad and dumb as snoke theories so who knows

If this was true then I'd definitely consider watching this show

😂😂😂

Sauron is a master of reverse psychology

Sauron is a shape shifter, he's just not in the same form that Adar saw

I'm trying to figure out who Adar was. Ie. His original identity. He's obviously not Sauron, but must have been an important elf leader at some point before being corrupted.

ooh that's a good point

@@mish375 feanor maybe?

@@mish375 I believe ep 7 told us, idk if you saw it when yku made the comment. Galadriel starts questioning Adar and he says he used to follow Morgoth, and so he was one of the first corrupted elves that eventually became Orcs. Which is why they call him Lord-Father and he calls them his "children"

And in keeping Guyladriels character.

@@SevenThunderful seriously !! Haha

That would explain so much...🤔

It would explain her genocidal behaviors

Spartacus reference?

"Okay, we'll kill you all then."

@@pyktukasplays4945 yes

"I am Sauron, and so is my wife!"

His name was Sauron Paulsen.

I can't believe how horribly unlikeable they made Galadriel.

Idk man I'm 90% sure that was a manipulation tactic. Like... he's Sauron.

@@Emma.Lou1 while I really don't like the show as a whole, it does seem like somebody on the writing team was aware that, for a short time in the Second Age after Morgoth's fall, Sauron did repent after a fashion- but was too afraid to face judgement in Valinor, and eventually returned to evil. Actually showing some of this is the only nod I'm willing to give the show so far. At least Sauron was interesting, decently written, and MOST IMPORTANTLY well acted. Bravo actor dude, don't know his name, but was handed a crap shute gig and still rocked it. 🤙

Turns out the high king Gil-Galad was right about her.

I think he meant “our sakes” as in himself and galadriel..but you may be right too

@@kyuzumaki9040 what else do you think he meant That's obviously what the guy on top meant too lol if he doesn't keep his peace he's going to turn into sauron and k i l l galadriel and start his journey of mayhem or whatever(try to kill galadriel) .

"Let me keep my peace, for both our sakes." Was too much of a mood; Just knew when I heard it.

Juxtaposition, there are more of them in the show than just the recap.

Episode 6 now there is more proof

How does he “become” Sauron? Or has he always been Sauron in sheeps clothing

@@giandeguzman6402 sauron is a shapeshifter

@@giandeguzman6402, Sauron had the ability to appear as a beautiful human or elf. He could appear as what he wanted to be in the past.

Ash Nazg!

the real white clothes twink stands up

Galadriel is Sauron

Jeff Bezos is Sauron

Trump is Sauron, just another to add. To many to be told could be Sauron, and that makes me sad !

In Tolkien's continuity Sauron is the one who killed Finrod, Galadriel's brother in the story of Beren and Luthien.

Im not a big fan of halbrand is Sauron theory but Sauron is also looking for repent in the beginning of 2nd age which seems halbrand is running away from his past

Showing remorse and sympathy is actually evidence that he's NOT Sauron.

@@joshuawhiting239 No, that was Sauron's werewolf, not him in person. Sauron defeated him and imprisoned, then Finrod sacrificed himself to let Beren escape.

Halbrand is most definitely not Sauron he’s too carefree and witty. Yes he’s quite skilled in combat and is definitely hiding his true skills so he is secretive but there’s already an attachment going on with halbrand and Galadriel. Like a companionship is forming between them. Sauron will show himself soon though he’s is hiding in plain sight but again halbrand is not Sauron.

It’s a jam

I think they doing the Shadow of War thing and Adar was a lietunent of Sauron that rebelled against him. Thats why Adar became sa ragefull when he hears his name

She also said to him "many may assume you were using me". And later while she was giving him a pep talk, she said "sometimes you have to touch the darkness to find light".

Halbrand literally confirmed in the 5th episode that he recognized Finrod's dagger (it was obvious in episode 2 when he noticed it underwater and was surprised) and now he said sorry because he obviously killed Galadriel's brother

@@darthvader9939 yeah, ep 6 kinda confirmed that

@@justhair17 what do you think of episode 6 when Adar said he pulled Sauron apart? And asked “who are you”? And kept trying to guess what he did that would make Halbrand hate him so much.. I wonder!

He can't be Sauron. Sauron must be a high elf who created the rings. Simple person can't do it and can't be so powerful as Sauron

@@Abraham99999 as far as we know, Sauron wasn't an elf. He was closer to a demon. But he ha dthe form of an elf, if he wanted it. We know that he was a large humanoid. In the books he was described as taller than Númenóreans. One of whom was 7"11 feet tall, or in nkre accurate measurements, about 241 cm in height.

@@Abraham99999 he's also a shape-shifter. So if he felt like it, he could be an elf, a man, a werewolf, vampire etc.

Ohh i didn't know about that. Thanks 👍

@@Abraham99999 Sauron is not an elf tho. He is a Maia (immortal spirits, like the Istari or Balrogs), who is capable of shapeshifting and disguised himself as an elf to craft the rings

This Sounds good but make No Sense to the Story, Halbrand is a char where isnt in the books. Sauron choose an elvish Body to hide himself, yes he is friendly and respectfull to everyone Like Halbrand. hmm we will See i think that Halbrand let us know that he is Sauron

That's because the writing is terrible and the show sucks arse.

@@mattsrealitycheck6669 your opinion and no they have No rights to use the 3 movies or the books only sidetexts from lotr 1-3 books they cant usw silma or Others Things with that i will See you Made it better

"Hard to imagine that, so shortly after meeting her, that Sauron would have foreseen a use for the woman who was certainly his most dangerous and devoted enemy. So, overall, it's a mixed bag. Is he not who he appears? Probably. Is he Sauron himself? It's not a certainty yet." i think he sees her as someone who can get him what he needs, she is a VERY powerful ally to have. Halbrand going overboard to save her after just sacrificing the others proves this.

Well if you view it as a classicist society a bunch of peasant sailors are likely worth less than a magical elf who has probably spent 100s of years making deals just like you.

He is sauron

would you prefer someone short and dark haired and non- white instead ? that doesn't sound menacing !

@@Talvekuningas well considering everyone laughed at the eminem looking guy from the trailers I'd say no ( and the fact Sauron couldn't blend in as well if he would stand out as much ... )

this is what i think theyre going for with sauron

I believe this could of been possible, but not anymore. The series is off, Galadriel never had these adventures in any Tolkien book. Sauron came back as an elf during this timeline,corrupted Numenor, dies during the wave that destroys that island. Comes back (? human) befriending the elf's, corrupts the 3 rings made, is found out and flees.

Like victory.

Pretty unbelievable, isn't it?

After Morgoth's banishment, Sauron was brought before the Valar and was forgiven, if I remember correctly. For a time, he was or pretended to be changed, but then he ran away from Valinor to conquer Middle-Earth. Maybe she jumped him at the door.

He promised Celebrimbor to reinstate Valinor in Middle Earth basically, make an eternal undying forest.

I thought that the elves made their rings AFTER Sauron left for Morder, so Celebrimbor was able to remove his influence from them (although this might just be twaddle idk)

@@mattyhew5121 There's a lot of ring making going on sauron made 9 rings with celebrimbor gave them out to elves, dwarfs, men then he went to mordur to make the one ring, as soon as the elves felt the power of the one they took off the rings and made the 3 that Gandalf, Gladriel and Elron wear. That's my interpretation of it (from KZfaq ers).

@@malfy8369 Yh, it seems to be both our opinions. Sauron had a direct hand in making the nine and seven while Celebrimbor made the three alone, negating any negative effects from Sauron (without the one ring). But (as you said) once the elves sensed the creation of the one ring, they took their rings off until Sauron had lost the one ring, where they were free to use them (still wearing the rings while the one ring was being worn could damage their minds and give the bearer looks into the three bearers minds). Unknowing to Sauron, he intended all 16 to be given to the remaining elves of middle-earth and was furious when he learned of the creation of three for the elves (Celebrimbor intended to make more I think but was attacked in Eregion before he could). Sauron took 15 of the 16 (one had been given to the dwarves in Khazad-Dum already by the elves) and gave them to men and dwarves while the elves hid the three. Also, Celebrimbor was able to give each elven ring specific powers because he made them independently of Sauron (water, fire and air).

@@marisbury The elves were also not entirely incorruptible (the orcs were once elves) so Sauron's shapeshifting into Annatar and his deception worked on some (like Celebrimbor) but not others. Although, Sauron remained undiscovered as Annatar until the one ring was made and the elves realised the deception

LOL

Stranger is definitely Gandalf, made the FOLLOW YOUR NOSE quote by end of finale.

The old strange man is Gandalf. The way he wispered to those light-bugs, and the fact that Gandalf loves the Hobbits...here you have why. Ancestrals of the Hobbits were the first ones that he met on Middle Earth, and helped him.

Like fine wine

@@joshuarivas442 Dorwinion's a bit far away.

And somehow survived.

i think the other castaways and the dragon were also made by sauron to get galadriel's good graces and a ticket into númenor

@@garrusv we literally see him untie his portion of the raft lol
