gil-galad was the only elf-king, other than fëanor and maedhros, that realized that the only way to achieve true victory over an enemy was to make an attempt, even if costly, to utterly defeat him... and unlike the other two, he didn't have the shortcomings that made their attempts failures

This thread, "Favorite Elf King" has more posts than all the chapters of the Silmarrilion project combined.
Now i might understand that if it were filled with pics of Elf hunks and babes, (like a pic of Fingolfin in full armor and battle wrath) but otherwisaeit seems a misapllication of poster's attention. Oh, and yes, Fingolfin, definitly Fingolfin.

And I assume there are some heavy FF discussions in here, with one particularly stub... err... active participant.

What about your least favorite Elf king? As unpopular as this will make me, I vote for Feanor. He allowed his pride to get in the way of his incredible gifts.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

It's rumored Melkor once commented, "You can't do business with that hot-head Feanor Corleone." But for my part, although I don't think they were ever Kings, most disliked would be the Nasty Boys, Celegorm and Caranthir. Caranthir certainly had his daddy's temper.

i'd probably say the celegorm was one of the worst... even his dog turned against him!
in terms of success/failure, though i like the character very much i'd have to say that in some ways fingolfin was one of the worst, since he squandered the opportunity to take out melkor when he had the chance... probably the best and only chance of the elves in the first age

Turgon because although he was prideful, he did do the sensable thing and kept out of the way of Morgoth.
