You're going to milk the geek out of me, aren't you? 
Sauron was way more slick an operator than Morgoth was. Not only did he skip out on both of Morgoth's judgments and chainings, but he also took down Numenor and still had time to get "killed" twice before Frodo ever touched that stupid fetter-Ring. You'd think that for a cat who'd not only evaded capture by several deities/minor powers, but also came back from the dead twice, orchestrated the absolute destruction of the most powerful Human nation ever forged (sundering Valinor from Middle-Earth physically and temporally in the process), brought to ruin half of the lands of the Edain, and managed to beat the Elves (including chickenshits Elrond and Galadriel) at their own game with the rings of power, he was going to get short-shrifted by some has-been Arnor gnome-bug with hairy feet and wanderlust? It's happy-Disney crap secretly devised by the same proto-hippie editors that rebuked Tolkien for having Frodo take the plunge off the Mount Doom along with Gollum instead of saving the "I only count in sets of nine now" little roach and made him change it. If Tolkien had lived longer, there'd have been a comeback novel or three. 
Now put up some desktops or STFU, mortals, or there's a Balrog coming for each and every one of y'all.
