The Rings Of Power’s Sauron Reveal Fixed A Major Lord Of The Rings Movie Problem

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power revealed that one of its central characters was actually the Dark Lord Sauron, and this solved an old Lord of the Rings problem. The Prime Video series took some liberties with Tolkien canon, giving Sauron a form called Halbrand that had never been described in the source material. Of course, The Silmarillion did explain that, before The Lord of the Rings​​​​​​, the Middle-earth villain had the ability to take different forms and that he used this to his advantage to seduce and influence various people. Still, the central Lord of the Rings books and movies lacked this information, and Sauron’s character suffered as a result.
