The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power Season 2 has multiple mentions of a specific point in Sauron's story, indicating that some never-before-seen moments will eventually be brought to the screen. This was a significant draw for the Prime Video series since it is set during the Second Age of Middle-earth, a typical time Lord of the Rings Adaptations do not cover. In fact, the whole character of Sauron is much more conceptual than physical throughout Frodo's story. now, Rings of power has explored the villain in flesh and blood, but it seems that the series will eventually take this even further.
Sauron's second-age character is evil through and through, and it was a lot of fun to watch Rings of power. Rather than simply hearing about the terrible deeds of the Dark Lord as in The Lord of the RingsPrime Video's prequel series showcased these moments in all their glory. Sauron deceived and murdered, all while trying to convince himself and others that he was doing it for the betterment of Middle-earth. To hear him tell it, he was nothing compared to the villain of Morgoth, and Sauron himself was only a victim of his master's wickedness, as was Middle-earth—but Rings of power Is sure to show the truth.
Rings of Power hints that we will see "good" Sauron
Sauron is not always evil
Sauron tells Celebrimbor in Rings of power Season 2 that he was forced to be evil by Morgoth and that with his Dark Lord gone, he wants to heal Middle-earth. He repeats the same sentiment with Galadriel, explaining that he is the savior who can set things right again. Of course, that wouldn't really be the case if Sauron got his way. He is evil, and his reign in Middle-earth would also be evil. However, the fact that he mentions his kindness and poor treatment under Morgoth so much in Rings of power indicating that the series will eventually dive into his past in Valinor.
The first two seasons of Rings of power opened with flashback scenes to the days long before the Second Age. Season 1 included an overview of Morgoth's war with the elves, while season 2 began with Sauron's fall after Morgoth's defeat and his slow, slimy crawl back to physical form. It makes sense that Rings of power Season 3 would also begin with a flashback scene, and After all the hints about Sauron's days as a "Good"Servants of the Valar in season 2, it would make sense if the scene explores what the Dark Lord was like Back when he was called Myron.
Sauron's (or Mairon's) life and role in Valinor explained
Mairon was a Maia under the Vala Aulë
Despite what he says to Celebrimbor and Galadriel in season 2, Sauron is extremely angry at Rings of Power. However, it is easy enough for him to convince himself otherwise since this villain really was good once upon a time. He was an angel-like Maia called Mairon, living in Valinor alongside her fellows and the Valar for endless centuries. Myron, whose name means "The admirable," was a direct servant to the Vala Aulë the Smith and was Known to be a highly skilled craftsman who was beautiful, honorable, and trustworthy. Unfortunately, he didn't stay that way.
This Maya valued balance, clarity and perfection, and precisely this made everything he created so beautiful.
In Tolkien's work, the force of creation is a slippery slope. Those who have a talent for making beautiful things often develop the desire to do more, and Myron is a prime example. This Maya valued balance, clarity and perfection, and precisely this made everything he created so beautiful. However, when Myron developed the desire to make Middle-earth and its beings balanced, pure and perfect. This made him an easy target for Morgoth (known as Melkor in Valinor), and Myron ultimately developed the belief that the destruction of the Dark Lord was the perfect opportunity to rebuild.
How Sauron's fall is likely different from what he described in season 2
Sauron's version of what happened will probably not match reality
It would be thrilling to see Sauron's time in Valinor as Mairon, a good and trustworthy being, brought to the screen in Rings of Power Season 3 (or beyond) since such a thing has never been done before. Tolkien made it clear that Sauron was not created by evil, but that his desire for impossible perfection took him down a dark path. The villain began to think that his own plan was better than Iluvatar's.And this was his own destruction. However, none of this is to say that Sauron was forced into evil by Morgoth. This may be what Sauron believes in Rings of powerBut a flashback would certainly prove otherwise.
Celebrimbor cheekily told Sauron that he was the truth.Big loser"Since he can fool even himself. In Rings of powerSauron tricks himself into thinking he would be better than Morgoth, repeatedly noting that he did not follow the villain by choice. However, Celebrimbor's hint that this is a lie indicates that a future flashback will eventually reveal the truth. The Prime Video series would finally show how Sauron really came to be in Morgoth's serviceAnd it is unlikely to paint the villain in the most flattering of lights.
Can Rings of Power actually show Morgoth on screen?
A Morgoth flashback might not be that easy to pull off
A flashback scene showing Sauron/Mairon as a good Maia in Valinor in the future Rings of power Episodes would be especially interesting as it would likely require a look at Melkor/Morgoth. The main villain is repeatedly mentioned in the Prime Video series, especially in the two premiere flashback episodes of seasons 1 and 2. However, Morgoth has never been shown on screen yet. Even the story of his time as the Dark Lord, the destruction of the Two Trees of Valinor and the theft of the Silmarils was largely condensed and simplified in Rings of power- Maybe for a good reason.
Prime Video has limited rights to Tolkien's work since the author sold the adaptation rights to only The Hobbit And The Lord of the Rings. Books like The SilmarillionWriting details of the first and second ages were published after Tolkien's death, and the rights were never sold by his estate. therefore, Rings of power Can only include stories and characters mentioned in previous works. In season 1, this did not include the Silmarils. However, the fact that the stones are mentioned in Rings of power Season 2 indicates Prime Video managed to get further rights.
If right, Rings of Power could finally bring the villainous relationship between Morgoth and Sauron to audiences for the first time.
It's unclear exactly what the Tolkien estate has since given Prime Video the rights to, so it's certainly possible that Morgoth could be brought to the screen in future seasons of Rings of power So that Sauron's full history can be explored. However, regardless of the legal rights, this titan-like villain would be challenging to adapt. The Lord of the Rings Prequel series would have to proceed carefully. However, if done right, Rings of power could finally bring the villainous relationship between Morgoth and Sauron to screen audiences for the first time.
