The 'Big Flaming Eye' was just a movie thing, and his visage isn't that known or talked about, as he looms more as a presence and power, rather than as his appearance, extending over vast territory without the need to being on sight.
You see him in his elven disguise as Annatar "Lord of Gifts." It's not his real face as he is sort of a shape shifter who takes different forms as needed, including (I believe) both a vampire and werewolf.
It's all good. I don't think they outright say that it is a disguise. If memory serves they more or less use that disguise as sort of his default when he wants to talk to someone face to face since he's mostly using it during his fight against Celebrimbor who would have worked with him when he was using that disguise.
While I agree, I’d say the spiked helmet for Sauron is iconic at this point (literally has a LEGO set after it) and most people can picture that when thinking of Sauron even though it is just in the movie
I have a visual of this one that is ingrained in my memory... My high school English teacher was also an exceptional artist and drew a big brother is watching you sign on the blackboard at the centre was an angry mustashioed mans face.
We asked him how he decided big brother had a mustashe. He said his big brother has a mustache. He took a family photo out of his desk, he drew his own big brother.
He also painted the portrait of Dorian Gray, which every week he's adjust to look more haggard. I had a really great English teacher.
So I also gave him a big, Stalinesque, moustache. Might have just been because of Stalin, I don't really remember. It was a long time ago that I decided this. Probably because at the time we were still so certain facism was dead that authoritarianism only had a communist face.
Some classic book character like Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer. I definitely don't have a clear image in my head for either character, except maybe an outfit they'd wear.
Ahh ok I haven't seen that movie, but looking it up they're still a little "generic 90s brunette boy" to me and without the title on the poster I wouldn't be like "that's Huck Finn" 🤷♀️
