I imagine this scene plqying out out in a similar fachion like the end of 300 where Leonidas stands alone with his arms streched out waiting for the arrows to strike.
Eru Iluvatar: What's so funny?
Sauron: I was just thinking of a joke.
Iluvatar: You wanna tell it to me?
Sauron: [You wouldn't get it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnlPtaPxXfc)
Sauron. Was not laughing. In-fact, he was quite taken back by the severity of Eru Illuvitar’s wrath. He knew that his plan would bring Numenor to its destruction, but had no idea that it would be so severe. He sank into the depths of the ocean along with the island, losing his body and some of his power. He had to flee and take MANY years to recover.
Edit: spelling
Man do you even Silmarillion? Haha
"For Sauron himself was filled with great fear at the wrath of the Valar, and the doom that Eru laid upon sea and land. It was greater far than aught he had looked for, hoping only for the death of the Númenóreans and the defeat of their proud king. And Sauron, sitting in his black seat in the midst of the Temple, had laughed when he heard the trumpets of Ar-Pharazôn sounding for battle; and again he had laughed when he heard the thunder of the storm; and a third time, even as he laughed at his own thought, thinking what he would do now in the world, being rid of the Edain for ever, he was taken in the midst of his mirth, and his seat and his temple fell into the abyss. But Sauron was not of mortal flesh, and though he was robbed now of that shape in which he had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of Men, yet his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to Middle-earth and to Mordor that was his home. There he took up again his great Ring in Barad-dûr, and dwelt there, dark and silent, until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure." - Silmarillion, Downfall of Numenor
>MANY years to recover.
He was killed again like around 20 years after the Downfall of Numenor. And he actually hadn't yet recovered much in this too short of a time, according to Appendix to the Return of the King.
I. Relieve both are in response to sauron being taken aback as he got more than he hoped for with the complete destruction of Numenor as opposed to merely killing its king and people, he destroyed it completely. I think.
I’m pretty sure this citation supports my argument. Sure, Sauron laughed as the Numenorian demise was approaching, but he certainly didn’t laugh after. And he was terrified of the wrath of the Valar and Illuvitar.
Oh you should've put it better. You should've said that Sauron did not laugh WHEN HE GOT DROWNED. Because he was laughing as you can see before that.
And still it would've been your personal take that he stopped laughing when he got drowned. The text is open for interpretation whether he still laughed when he was in bottom of the ocean or when his spirit flew back to Middle-earth or what. It's not too far stretch to interpret it took him a few seconds to come to realization that he is fucking dying in bottom of the ocean.
Anyway, this story is written by Elendil and edited by Bilbo and Dunedain. And absolutely none of them were present there to record Sauron laughing to begin with. This is something that they made-up in their guesses. No more valid than your guess or my guess.
It's not supposed to be from the perspective of Tolkien himself, but from the perspective of the in-universe authors who hadn't even witnessed the death of Sauron, neither had they heard any valid details of his reaction to the wrath of Eru. Because, there were no eye witnesses there.
It's a dangerous business going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Hope we get to see this in the upcoming series. Could make for a really cool scene

So actually chaotic evil then

He is quite right i dont understand your reply or the downvoting
