The Power That Disappears

You may be wondering, what makes it so unique for "The Rings of Power." The series isn't making up these elements. That's not the case at all! It appears the story of "The Rings of Power" is about to diverge and really get into some awesome detail about a powerful and fascinating creature! Even those who are dedicated fans might think that "The Lord of the Rings series isn't a perfect match.

  • Sauron is not seen to be as mighty.
  • But his incredible power for transformations seems like it only goes so far in that story and then it becomes something of a mythical past that only those who read Tolkien's books truly understand.
  • "Sauron loses some of his abilities after the Fall of Númenor! This is an incredible event that will bring even more history! It's like one giant turning point for the whole world! It means that Sauron's physical look becomes something that only shows off the evil. It was no longer as magical!

When Sauron had a new form. His new body wasn't able to take on shapes at all, making him super unique, unlike the story in "The Rings of Power.", where his power was a big factor in Season 2. Even after he returned to "Middle-earth." That still wasn't enough!

If there is a series that really is bringing this amazing character back. It is the series that just took us on a whirlwind adventure! So get ready "The Rings of Power" really might be one of those rare moments that give audiences something new, exciting and one that they will want to talk about for days, giving you that sense that it was done so well. What's cool about it is that it gave a deep dive into the way that Sauron was able to trick those around him, adding that terrifying element into the story!

What we saw, might be the very first, or one of the very few times audiences get to see a supervillain do this! But it also is true!
