Elves can't compete with humans for coolness anyway.

Are Elves cooler? Bah. That's not the subject. I won't say yes or no, but hey, they do have sex less often, so you might say they're rather icy...

Um Im kinda going on the Silm version but to me Finrods death seemed almost well pointless isn't the word I want but I can't think of the right one. I mean if Huan and Luthien had gotten there liek an hour earlier wouldn't he have lived?
Of course if everyone else is going on a differnt version i just look like a giant jackass.

Fingolfin
What about Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor?
Sure, he's not as reknowned as Finrod, but you have to admit, he's pretty cool. After the Dagor Bragollach, when Fingolfin thought the Noldor ruined to naught, he rode "like a wind amid the dust" to Angband's gates, and there he smote his challenge, "and named Morgoth craven, and lorde of slaves." Morgoth came, and they fought in single combat, and "many times Morgoth essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leaped away, as a lightning shoots from under a dark cloud; and he wounded Morgoth with seven wounds, and seven times Morgoth gave a cry of anguish, whereat the hosts of Angband fell upon their faces in dismay, and the cries echoed in the North-lands." "But at last the King grew weary, and Morgoth bore down his shield upon him. Thrice he was crushed to his knees, and thrice rose again and bore up his broken shield and stricken helm. But the earth was all rent and pitted about him and he stumbled and fell backward before the feet of Morgoth; and Morgoth set his foot upon his neck, and the weight of it was like a fallen hill. Yet with his last and desperate stroke Fingolfin hewed the foot with Ringil, and the blood gushed forth black and smoking and filled the pits of Grond." "Thus died Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, most proud and valiant of the Elven-kings of old." Maybe not the brightest choice, but certainly valiant. What do you think? |

Finrod's great! Even though he knew "that the oath he had sworn was come upon him for his death", he kept his word and helped Beren.
I also like Fingolfin, though - he left Valinor even though he didn't want to go, because he loved his people and didn't want to leave them to "the rash counsels of Feanor", and also because of his words before the throne of Manwe. (this is my first post! I've really enjoyed reading everyone's comments! )

That's why I like him more, and because, ammmm... he's very cool? I have no particular reason. (by the way, I did mentioned him)
