I've always loved the mental image of seeing Fingolfin looking out to death, despair and destruction and him just NOT standing for it, NOT accepting it and just being the total embodiment of 'I will stop this desecration'... The fact that he willing challenged the most powerful Valar to a one on one dual is just so great; taking a demi-god to task over his actions, that's got to be one of the coolest, most badass events in all of Middle-Earth's history!

Absolutely, and aside from the bravery to do such a thing, and the skill to wound Morgoth eight times (permanently, I might add), one has to admire the pure strength of this great Elf. For, when he was fatigued, stumbled and was borne down on with a shield by a Vala who was said to have the weight of a fallen hill (at the point a little later when he kills Fingolfin), three times Fingolfin pushed back and rose from being crushed down to his knees. Pushed back physically against a Vala - wow.

Agreed; probably more accurate that it's levels of Divinity; The one true god (Eru) Then upper gods / angelic choir / archangels; Valar - Morgoth and Co. below that, lesser Gods (demi-gods), angels & spirits; Maiar - Sauron / Gandalf Before hitting non-divine 'beings'. So yes definitely downgraded Melkor in my original post.

Absolutely. And the foolishness is epitomised by his action in burning the ships after their crossing and denying Fingolfin and his host passage. For Fingolfin had pledged to follow Feanor *and had done so* so earning the Ban of the Valar with him, he also tipped the balance at the Battle at Alqualonde so that the Noldor were victorious and then they were abandoned by Feanor as "useless baggage". The Useless Baggage just saved your skin! Additionally, it's quite possible that had Fingolfin and his host been allowed to travel on the ships, Feanor might not have been overwhelmed by all the Balrogs and killed, and Maedhros might not have been captured and eventually had to lose his right hand.

He had no reason to go. Morgoth was playing mind games this entire time. The same way he did with Turin and Hurin afterwards. They both believed in Morgoth, blinded more so to see that they were doing a lot of good going after him in vengeance when all they did was kill their own and make themselves hated, laughable and cursed. It was a “holy” crusade and if you didn’t secede or follow you were unholy and corrupted by the “lies” of the valar who restrained them. The fact that Feanor thought that he had such harm done to him when before the elves woke and the two trees were made the Valar also went through a lot because of Melkor, he was just a hater and wanted to destroy everything.

Fingolfin was one of the chaddest guys in all of Tolkiens works!

The history of Middle-Earth never ceases to amaze me

In my view Fingolfin was a greater elf than Fëanor. Fëanor may have more talent and skill than any other elf but I call him the worst of the elves for leading his foolish rebellion, the swearing of that terrible oath, the first kinslaying, the burning of the ships, etc and subsequent actions that resulted in the destruction of most of the Noldor in Middle-Earth. Fingolfin led the Noldor to the best of his ability for some 4 centuries in the war against Morgoth. Now that's a truly great elf and king!

@sweeperboy

2 жыл бұрын

I couldn't agree more. Feanor was the greatest in skill, passion and perhaps intellect too. But he misused those gifts - especially the intellect - and lost his greatness in evil and foolish deeds. Fingolfin was probably a better warrior than Feanor anyway, but definitely a better person.

I think Fingolfin was the better warrior at least, he was noted to be the strongest of his brothers. Feanor was the "greatest elf".

Two things haven't been mentioned so much as achievements of Fingolfin that aren't as flashy as those well-described are: - 1. Under his leadership, the Noldor kept Morgoth penned up in Angband for _four hundred years_ which has never been done before or since by anyone else other than the Valar Themselves when they literally chained Morgoth. 2. He sought to heal the rifts within the Noldor. Not only in the beginning in Valinor when he publicly forgave Feanor and pledged to follow him, but also later in Middle Earth when he held a great festival to try to bring all the Elves of Middle Earth (including the Sindar) together in friendship and peace. And it's worth restating: like Finarfin, he wasn't keen on the Noldor going to Middle Earth. The only reason he did so was he wasn't willing to abandon his people to the sole command of Feanor, who was quite literally crazy by this point.

Fingolfin remains the greatest elf of all times.

The fact that an elf can strike fair in most powerful of valar shows how great he was!

That Feanor guy sure was more trouble than he was worth......LMAO. Great and mighty, but without the head on his shoulders like his half-brother Fingolfin......to his and his son's ruin. Fingolfin certainly showed his bravery (if brashly) ultimately by challenging Melkor to single combat. His wisdom led to a golden age for the Noldor......great years that they had precious few of otherwise once Feanor started his antics in Valinor.

That final charge of Fingolfin's across the plains to meet with and fight Morgoth, aside from being one of the greatest tales told, is perhaps evidence that he was filled with great magical power, even though he wasn't as overt a "wielder" of magic as Galadriel or even Feanor. There's no way a mere Elf should have been able to do that...but as Galadriel much later described, Elves have trouble with the concept of "magic", as non-Elves call it, as it's inherent to their abilities and they don't consider it to be supernatural. Fingolfin's charge is reminiscent of, but far greater than, the almost magical power that filled Theodon King in his last battle (and perhaps Hurin Thalion, at his final stand) - an old man somehow granted almost superhuman strength. For Fingolfin's eyes to shine like those of the Valar to the point where he resembled _Orome_ and to intimidate all of Morgoth's servants (who, let's not forget, include Balrogs, dragons and werewolves !!) such that he came alone and uncontested to the gates of Angband and only Morgoth came out to fight him, indicates the depth of this empowerment. Not only do Morgoth's eight wounds from Fingolfin never heal but such is the psychological scarring from this encounter, even though he won, that Morgoth never came forth in open combat himself ever again, despite being one of the greatest powers in all of Arda's history.

Think of all the experience Fingolfin went through, with the migration, the battles, the high kingship overseeing the elven civilizations of the time...while Morgoth just b*tched out and hid in his big rock.

My favorite elf of all Tolkien's characters. His loyalty to Feanor despite everything is praise worthy. I loved the part where he rode directly to Angband to face the terror of Morgoth directly once and for all and all the dark creatures of Morgoth hid away because he rode so ferociously that the Orcs feared that it was Orome the Vala himself on his steed Nahaar, he gave Morgoth the wounds that he would carry for the rest of the eternity. His son Fingon was also one of the greatest warrior kings of the Noldor who faced two Balrogs at once while one of them was Gothmog lord of Balrogs.

Fingolfin is such a great character, noble and valiant among the Noldor. Despite being betrayed and left stranded on the shores of Araman, he had no grudge with Fëanor’s sons and cooperate with Maedhros. I hope that, because of his bravery in defying Morgoth in single combat, the Valar allowed his reimbodiement so he could live in the bliss of Valinor together with his wife and his brother Finarfin

It's epic that in this 1vs1 battle Melkor felt some fear by this child of Iluvatar. Fingolfin is one of the mightiest. He and Feanor

Despite the horror that Middle Earth must feel at the end of such a great elf, his last accomplishment cannot be understated. Dueling Morgoth and actually coping for quite a while is a great achievement. I find the picture of Fingolfin, a shining star, standing before the hulking evil that Morgoth was quite grand. And all the more the shame that such a peacemaker and force of good could be killed. But the idea of 7 wounds could be more than a great number.

Even when he was right and got threatened by feanor he aways keep his cool and respect, and he's heart was aways fill with justice and forgiveness. his rule was aways just, and he aways had his people best interest in mind. The decision to challenge morgoth in single combat reflect the fire in his heart, so no one of his people has to suffer or die to defeat the dark lord if he was succeded, but unfortunately, he wasn't.

fingolfin was the greatest elf in the history of middle earth; strong, brave, wise, and loyal...thank you for telling his story so beautifully!
