Top Comments of this video!! :3
Im fine with the idea of The Eye on Barad Dur for the movies. But i do wish we got at least one really short scene with a spiritlike broken human in a dark room with a palantier. The room is so dark that you cant really see him but you know its Sauron.
So at least he IS there but he is watching from his tower. In the movies it seems like he isnt even there... its just a big fire eye.
EDIT:
OR just show a really short quick clip of a pale hand with scars and a missing finger on top of a palantir. Just tease that he is there watching.

I think there's even more we can infer from understanding Sauron's nature. As a student of Aulë that preferred order, he probably gravitated to more refined and structured clothing and armor designs. A lot of the imagery we see of the classic "dark lord" design is more suited to Morgoth's vistage rather than Sauron's. Morgoth was nihilistic and wished to mock, warp, destroy and terrorize. We know that Sauron did emulate his old master, but we don't know exactly how much he might have emulated his form and style.
Another counterpoint is Sauron's desire to hoard Arda's supply of Mithril. He must have known of Mithril's protective properties. We also know that Sauron chiefly fears bodily destruction by the end of the Third Age. What is the likelihood that Sauron crafted a Mithril set of armor? If he were to gain the ring again, a full-body suit of Mithril would all but ensure he would be untouchable. Mithril's dazzling mirror-like properties would also render him an object of worship, something I'm sure he would appreciate.

Your videos are my absolute favorites. I lovvve the content and have listened to many similar channels but this is by far the best. The narration and tone, the artwork, the delivery, and everything are so perfect. I have been listening every night for both information and as relaxation during a very stressful time.

Based on everything I think it's safe to conclude that Sauron did in fact have burning eyes, considering the fear the numenoreans had for the "light in his eyes", and the red description of his serpent eyes in Lord of the Rings, coupled with Tolkiens own painting showing Sauron with orange eyes peering out from his helmet. Burning eyes like that is a striking image, so therefore I really wonder why not more of the artists why draw Sauron include it. It is his most important feature in my opinion, the concept art Peter Jackson had for Saurons face is to this day the best depiction of it.

As they await the arrival of the Children of Ilúvatar, it seems possible that they look close to an elf because they sense that they have a humanoid form, as far as they perceive from the vision created with music, but it cannot be said that they have an elf or human form in appearance. This also applies to Mairon, who spent some time in Almaren.

This man should be a narrator, voice artist, or possibly author.
