Who we inviting to Dinner? Cthulhu!?

I never understood how he was able to walk away like he did from the addiction of the ring and especially considering how long he had it. The only thing I can think is that like Samwise who wasn’t able to be swayed as much by the ring and mixed with Sauron’s power not being at its most potent.

Would be fascinated to learn from someone who has more knowledge than my surface level opinion though 😊
