This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah, even in the movie a LOT of people get seriously wrecked before that finger gets cut off.

Was his finger cut off in the book too? Is that how he lost the ring?

I never finished the Silmarillion, but from a synopsis I read, he was defeated first, then the ring was cut from his hand.

Yeah, aside from the numerous armies lost, includijg dwarves and elves, ~1000 years of fighting, it took two literal kings dying to defeat him, Gil-galad and Elendil. But, Sauron was also defated. In the end, Isildur showed up and chopped off his finger and took the ring.

What OP is suggesting: Give sauron the ring, it went well last time. We reckon we could take him
