ARMS ARE HEAVY
They could have at least gotten an actor that you know looks authoritative. Fucking bizarre.
Ugh, I know it's cliche to keep pointing out the show runners clearly have never read the book, but God damn. Sauron in the second age is supposed to be unnaturally attractive and not only that, give off a wholesome and pure vibe, especially as viewed by Numenors ruling elite. If he were in our world today, Sauron would be a bisexual black man who works for BLM and has a Pride Progress flag out front of Barad-Dur.
Nope, the dude in the picture that everyone's saying is Sauron is indeed Sauron. First off, his facial structure looks absolutely nothing like Robert Naime's. Dude's got a square as fuck jaw and face, and alleged Sauron's features are a lot softer. Second off, you can see on the screenshot that the guy has these two birthmarks on his cheek that are rather close together. Robert doesn't have those birthmarks, but you want to know who does?
I read those books when I was 11.
I am pretty sure we all know the answer for that.
(((They))) are literally incapable of comprehending beauty. Of course they gave Sauron a scowling monster face. It's amazing he doesn't have a swastika scar on his forehead. For fucks sake, the orcs are even wearing white KKK robes.
So Sauron is going to start singing about how how he wants to rape conservative women?
I hope nobody saw him looking so mean, that would really shit up his plans to take over.
I guess he'll use evil magic or something, or be so skilled in Ringmaking that Celebrimbor trusts him, I guess. Ar-Pharazon and the King's Men will be Ultra Dark MNGA so they will be dumbies who fall into his trap, who strong black lady Tar-Miriel will oppose in secret as the real leader of the elf-friends (Elendil and Isildur will flee Numenor under her orders and organization) and her sacrifice will save them (I also bet she'll have a doomed romance with Isildur even though in canon he had multiple sons by the fall of Numenor). Galadriel will not be fooled from the start, I guess but the dumb men Gil-Galad, Elrond and Celebrimbor won't listen to her so it won't matter. I bet Prince Durin IV will be stupid enough to accept his ring but black dwarf lady who is his wife(?) will be the real ruler of Khazad-dum so it won't matter. I'm also betting that the meteor the "Harfoots" find will be the material used to make the three elven rings.
When you watch enough of these woke productions, you eventually start to notice things. Like in this trailer, how, when they are showing "the bad guys" all the diversity suddenly vanishes and its nothing but white men. I think the fact that I now notice these things makes me part of the problem.
If anything woke shows have become very predictable
