>what if he was the good guy after all?
>Gandalf was the real villian
What exactly did Sauron do wrong? It's never explained in the trilogy, he's simply presented as the "bad guy"...

Think about it this way: Middle Earth was basically just a bunch of little dictatorships with kings that drew their legitimacy from their supposed birthright, with basically no regard for the average peasants. Same with Gandalf. That guy just used everybody and when he was done he'd drop them like a hot potato. Sauron for that matter recognized that the elves were pulling a lot of the strings behind the scenes making propaganda songs corrupting the bards and all that and started his own little industrial revolution to empower the actual workers, without all that magic bullshit.

Sauron in his eyes wasn't evil. He's former Aule's maiar so he just wanted order and progress - under his guidance of course. The problem is he was not shy of using extreme measures to achieve his goals. Orcs are productive and breed quickly so obviously they are usefull. Nazgul are 100% loyal servants. Men are easily corrupted. Only those pesky elves had to go. PS. Saruman was also Aule's maiar, this is why he competed with Sauron, but their goals were pretty much the same.

Its very unclear, Orcs might be born, come from slime and magic, corrupted such and such, the books don't give a concrete answer as far as I know

The only bad thing he did was starting many wars
starting a war is always bad

when you think about it middle earth is a lot like a public minecraft server. morgoth was just some edgy hacker guy who used to be a mod and kept on fucking with the other mods until they range banned him and created a vip zone for themselves and their 100% approved bootlickers. Sauron was another edgy dude who kept fucking around on the open server but knew a little bit of hacking but not as much as melkor.
