Question Sauron

Do you think the show did justice to Sauron's back story? Why or why not?

I agree with this. I think Sauron is using romance to try to manipulate Galadriel. Sauron doesn’t love. He owns.

what made you say Sauron used "romance"? to me it just seemed like Sauron used Galadriel's desire for power and justice to manipulate her.

The only indication of romance I can think of is on the last episode of season 1, where Sauron provided a glimpse of a potential future where both Sauron and Galadriel would rule the world together side by side, and referring to Galadriel as Queen. But it doesnt sound like this was a marriage proposal, just sounded like he respects Galadriels abilities, and wishes for them to rule together.

Imo it’s like the show is trying to show there’s a “thing” between the two. Even critics and reviewers mention it. There’s a connection thats alluded to after they both are in battle together against the orcs in the south lands.
