Basically in a nutshell

Wants to kill everything on the planet and rule over the rest

Created rings for all the tribes to have but then secretly created 1 ring to rule them all

Holy shit I never knew it. Man, Tolkien is the GOAT writer. He can master subtlety and have these grand arcs happen without anyone ever really noticing. Bravo Tolkien.

Wow thats truly amazing. I love Tolkiens grounded, realistic feeling despite its fantasy setting. Compare that to some over-the-top, fun but cliched novelist like George RR Martin, where his characters are (A Song of Ice and Fire SPOILERS) coming back to life and there are huge mythical flying creatures I mean cmon man haha.

No way, first the poor guy has his jewelry stolen from him and then the evil hobbits and their friends broke into his home and vandalized the place.

Attempting to retrieve your stolen property hardly makes you a villain.

But TC brings up a pretty good point.

The Valar and the elves were keeping paradise and immortality all to themselves. Sauron was right to get the Numenorians to invade Aman. Sauron and Melkor knew what was up. Never listen to the Elvish lies.

I'm pretty sure it was Morgoth that wanted to kill and destroy everything. He was, like, chaotic evil. Sauron was more lawful evil; he just wanted to rule over everything.

Sauron was the protagonist who got royally fucked by those stupid Hobbitses.

The book is literally called the LORD OF THE RINGS.

Who is this LORD OF THE RINGS?

Sauron.

The title character can't be a bad guy.

It was but after his heart was corrupted by goodness the ring went to Frodo. Saruman explains it all in the extended editions.
