Difference is Voldemort was not all smoke and mirrors. Everyone held the same abilities and they all still feared him making him even more impressive.
Sauron was defeated quickly by someone who held far less powerful. People weren't giving speeches and this was a speech allowed by Voldemort. The other was an example of a battlefield type scenario. Neville still feared him but defied him.
People were afraid of Voldemort in the same manner. Like I said not comparable entirely due to the ring being in play there.
False as McGonagall clearly says speak his name Hes going to kill you either way.
When did he ever talk shit to Voldemort ? He was calling him my lord right before he attacked and had him killed.
Sauron more so
True but you made it seem like the fear made them almost immobile. clearly it did not
Same as humans right? A guy with a gun can pretty much kill you the same as another guy with a gun yet drug lords are still feared greatly by their men who could kill them at any time but don't
Voldemort was destroyed by a baby(popular belief). No one beaten by a warrior in battle could be held to a lower standard
Not at all. People stood against Vold and fought. They froze for Sauron and allowed themselves to be slaughtered
They clearly believed his name to be cursed as stated in the very 1st movie. No need to keep from saying it if you're about to die regardless. Kinda like someone having lung cancer, no need to say away from cigerettes now
We were talking about Dumbledore
