Re: Worst positive headcanons/interpretations of characters you love

[philstar22]

Any interpretation that makes Melkor or Sauron out to not be the awful people they are. I haven't seen too many such interpretations, but I have seen a few. Showing positive sides to villains is one thing, but making them out to not actually be villains bothers me. I like these two because they are villains.

I especially hate interpretations that say that Melkor was abusive and therefore that's why Sauron did the things he did. Nope.

Also any interpretation of Feanorians that justifies any of the kinslayings. Nope. Not okay. The Feanorians are complicated, but they have done awful things.

I think that interpretations that give too much credit to Celebrimbor also bug me a little. Yes, he was tricked. But Galadriel and Gil-Galad saw right through Annatar. So Celebrimbor isn't perfect. He's not outright evil like most of his family. He didn't willingly join Sauron. He did sacrifice himself in the end. But he made mistakes.

Uggghhh this. I don't mind the idea of Melkor being abusive, but the idea that all the stuff Sauron did is because of Melkor's abuse is not only an incredibly lame excuse, it is just so....boring.

My thing with abusive Melkor is that I see Sauron as incredibly arrogant. I don't really think Melkor could have instilled such loyalty in Sauron while at the same time being abusive. It doesn't go against how I see Melkor's character per say, though I do see him as being awful to everyone except Sauron. But it does go against how I see Sauron's character.

But yes, it is a really bad excuse and very boring. And Tolkien rarely if ever resorted to boring characterization, so why do fans go there with his villains?
