I mean, elven smiths forged the rings themselves with the help of Sauron's knowledge. The 3 greater elven rings were made by Celebrimbor from start to finish. They weren't able to bind their wearers because they were never touched by Sauron.

Bruh, you really don't know the lore. At first, Sauron disguised himself as a representative of the Valar. His fake name was Annatar, Lord Of Gifts, he teached the elven smiths to create the Rings of Power (19), one of the Elven smiths (Celembrimbor) created the 3 by himself, untouched by Sauron. Soon after, he created The One Ring and put it on, thinking the Elves would obey to his every command, but once Sauron put the ring on, the elves, realizing that Sauron's intentions are evil, took off the rings. Sauron became outraged, he waged open war against the elves. He got the other 16 while Celembrimbor and the others hid the 3, He gave 7 to the dwarves and 9 to mortal men, the dwarves will was too strong, it resisted the power of the one ring but it enhanced the dwarves greed, the 9 were to weak to resist to the power of the ring they became ringwraiths. So that's the story of The Rings Of Power.

I cannot read the fiery letters,’ said Frodo in a quavering voice. ‘No,’ said Gandalf, ‘but I can. The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. But this in the Common Tongue is what is said, close enough: One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. It is only two lines of a verse long known in Elven-lore: Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all. One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.’

Not an English word, but you can still form at least an approximately similar sound with letters. Just my guess on it.

The movie simplified everything. In the books Sauron only comes out fighting when all his armies are destroyed. Sauron is not a fighter, he is not even a good commander. His strength comes from his ability to create and corrupt.

To the credit of Rings of Power, the guy playing Gil-Galad sure does look like the guy who played him way back in the trilogy. Obviously he wasn’t a super prominent character back then, but it’s still cool that he looks similar.

Well the movie never directly shows Sauron creating the other rings. One could easily assume that they had been crafted by the elves (they kind of were) and later Sauron created a corrupting Master Ring that took advantage of them. The scene with Sauron’s armored form isn’t directly involved in the forging sequence, either, and could be any time after he left Celebrimbor. It’s kind of necessary for him to show up visually in his armor for the whole prologue to keep the narrative compact. It does downplay his involvement in the deception, but it’s a detail that isn’t really expanded on in the main series, either.

even more in depth: Eru, the creator of everything and basically the gods of gods is the only one that can create life. Elves and men are created by his thoughts while dwarfs shape was created by a valar (a god) of inventions and who created all of the worlds materials. while eru blew life in the shape of the dwarves. (sauron and saruman are 'helpers' of this inventor god btw). Dwarves therefor are more resistant to this domination magic sauron tries to use. instead of being corrupted and eventually enslaved like the nazgul (corrupted men) they instead get an insatiable need to get more wealth, which still topples their kingdoms. The elves created the rings with saurons knowledge (he disguised himself as an elf ) while sauron made the one ring to rule them all. The second sauron puts on the one ring the elves feel the corruption and take the rings off and hide them and therefor do not become corrupted. the men become corrupted easily but gain wealth and power in return. slowely they get turned into the ringwraths and basically become saurons thralls. The reason sauron is doing this is because he is jealous that eru favored the creation of elves above him. and so he REALLLY REAAAAAAALLLY wanted to corrupt the elves. so when this does not work... he becomes enraged and tries to wage war on them. que in the intro where the last allience of elves and men try and stop sauron. There you are all caught up!

Not gonna lie, her voice is so strong

Our bond is stronger.

2:38 My brain was mentally prepared for this to be the transition point to ingame footage, a la the Two Towers game for original Xbox and ps2 Boy that game left more of an impact then I realized

El señor de los anillos es una obra maestra.

Sauron was very powerful, cunning and quite intelligent. He’s a Maiar, and they cannot die at all. However, his world domination plan with the Rings caused him more harm than he could have ever anticipated. He bounded basically all his power into the One Ring, seeking to dominate all life. Sauron put so much of himself into the Ring that he couldn’t maintain physical form without it. And upon the Ring’s (long postponed) destruction, he could no longer interact with the physical world in any way. He was basically reduced to a powerless, formless, untouchable and invisible ghost that could do nothing but wonder until the end of time for the world.

Sauron is holding a dagger with which he stabbed his own hand and then poured his blood onto the ring to seal their connection. Peter Jackson didn't film that part cause it would bring a too darker tone to the movie, but the reference is there.

“This like some Lord of the Ring shit, this where the ring is made.”
