“These men are sweaty, elves weak, dwarves are heavy”
Lord Of The Rings fans have been drawing comparisons between Sauron and Eminem in the Amazon show’s new trailer.
A first look at Anson Boon in character as Sauron – despite the show not yet confirming his casting as the franchise villain – has made many fans speculate about his resemblance to Marshall Mathers.
Take a look at the trailer below:
“These men are sweaty, elves weak, dwarves are heavy. There’s hobbits on middle earth already, orc machete,” one fan wrote, riffing on Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ lyrics.
Another reworked ‘The Real Slim Shady’, tweeting: “Cause I’m Slim Sauron, yes, I’m the real Sauron. All you other Slim Saurons, are just imitating. So won’t the real Slim Sauron, please stand up? Please stand up, please stand up.”
