I'm afraid I have to say it again: Gil-Galad was the best (maybe except Finrod who had also courage).

My favourite elf kings is Fingolfin. He had the guts to go the Morgoth and challange him in one on one combat and put up a good fight. Also he was a good leader.
Allthough i i do like Finrod and Feanor. |

I've said it before - but repetition seems to be prevalent on this post - so once again it's FINGOLFIN who was tops. Proudest and most Valiant of the Kings. If there was ever a film of the Sil then the episode were Fingolfin jumps on Rochallor (sp?) and thunders accross anfauglith would be phenomenal! His eyes burning with the light of the Valar as all fled in amaze thinking him Orome......incredible!

Potential doesn't mean much if it's not utilized in its fullest capacity - makes one looks quite foolish in the worse cases of such. (Re: Feanor)
What good is all the talent and skill in the world to one if said person's stupidity causes the world to fall?

Well, cause the world to fall is a very strong thing to say.
But look at it from his point of view (and have in mind that he had a great temper): His father, whom he had loved above all else in the world was killed, the Silmarilli, who were on 2nd place after his father was stolen, his mother was dead, and the enemy who had killed his father and stolen the Silmarilli had fled to a land far away...

From Morgoth's Ring: Myths Transformed Quote:
__________________
“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. |

Is it possible that the two of us have once the same opinion, Sister Golden Hair? We both don't like Thingol.

Thingol isn't too bad, he just takes the overprotective daddy thing a little too far. He's not my favorite elf king, but I'd take him over Feanor any day. After all, there must have been something good in him for a Maia to fall in love with him, right?

As for Turgon.... I love his city but I don't really like him. He could of save a whole lot of lives, including his own if he had heeded Ulmo's advice. Instead he ignored it and bad things happened.
