I think Fingolfin is getting a bad rap here. Yes he did make some foolish decisions. However leading the Noldor out of Valinor was not his idea, in fact if I'm not mistaken he was against it, but many of the Noldor wanted to leave, though they were unwilling to follow Feanor. I'm not saying that he made the right decission here,I'm just trying to make a point. Another thing is that even though he never had a chance against Morgoth, it was an act of valour , not foolie, that is why Tolkien named him, " Most proud and valiant of the elven kings of old." And besides he's always been my favorite.
