Fingolfin puts every hero character from LoTR to shame. The fellowship would piss at the though of fighting Sauron, who was a servant of Morgoth, who got challenged and nearly beat by Fingolfin in a 1vs1 combat scenario. The most badass Elf in history of all fiction.
I'm just reading the story about Túrin, son of Húrin. Beautiful. And I'm not going to be aggravated by stupid people who,,, Am I a nerd if I'm in love with these stories? Than beware the revenge of the nerds, Fucking dolt....
Seven times he wounded Morgoth, seven times he cried out, seven times did his minions cry out in anguish!!!!! truly the greatest warrior in middle earth!!
@toobularbells Sir You are about four years late. if your going to start corecting a little thing like that. On youtube anything with sound and pictures is a video.
Sibirc is right. Also, @mormegil, don't forget that in that combat wounded Morgoth seven times, including one which caused Morgoth to limp afterwards.
Fingolfin is deffinitely the baddest sonovabitch in the whole Silmarillion. He rode to Angband on his own, and basically challenged a god to singles combat.
@mormegil2 hey man if there was not this god damned rock in his way he would have crashed morgoth....personally he is my favorite char from silmarillion
@mormegil2 The thing that makes him so badass is that he was prolly close to winning versus that god xD "smote him 7 times" and then drove his sword through morgoths foot lol... I would LOVE to see fingolfin portrayed by peter jackson and a really good actor... *is amazed by the thought of how epic that would be*
YES! He friggin walked right up to the gates of Angmar and called Morgoth out! Even the Balrogs who watched him entering wouldnt challenge him...they were scared ****less.
YES! He friggin walked right up to the gates of Angband and called Morgoth out! Even the Balrogs who watched him entering wouldnt challenge him...they were scared ****less.
All those pics are mixed up....This is not fingolfin on all of them....Its Feanor! at losgar, and at the Teleris ships bording and at the swearing the oath with his seven sons !
well, you're right, but Tolkien wrote the final chapter of The Silmarillion about the prophecy of the Final Battle, but was Christopher to delete that chapter from the book.
it had to be the final chapter of the Silmarillion, but Cristopher Tolkien chose to eliminate it. Turin will defeat Morgoth, and the Valar will throw him out of the world. Then the Valar will break up the world, and they will find the Silmarils...Feanor will choose to give them to Yavanna, who will give life again to the Trees. Then the sons of Ilùvatar will play a Second Music, and a new, pure and perfect world will begin, maybe..but if it won't happen,there will be the end of the world, maybe
utahraptor...read again the book and know what yer talking about before you yourself make immature replies to people who would make immature replies about the immature replies that came from a lack of accuracy in facts that the immature replies did reply immaturely upon the immature.......................etc......
guys what u say about turin is nothing but a joke it has nt been said anywhere that turin kills morgoth turin killed glaurung the first dragon of morgoth and what is more u cant kill morgoth no one can kill a vala only destroy his material form
ok so you should read a little more cause what people are trying to say is that Turin is supposed to come back lo life at the end of the world and it is he, not an elf nor any Valar who will kill morgoth, and that is a prophecy of either Manwe or Mandos i really cant recall
I think Earendil (killed Ancalagon and maybe Ungoliant),Hurin(called the greatest warrior of men),Tuor(killed multiple balrogs),Turin,Aragorn,Fingolfin are the greatest. But I think of them Fingolfin is the greatest elf for taking on Morgoth and Turin for what he did despite a cursed life (plus he is the one who will kill Morgoth for good at the Dagor Dagorath). Personally,my money's on Fingolfin because he probably had hundreds more years to train
Im sticking with Turin. I think because Morgoths thought is bent on causing Turin misery it in a way makes him invincible as how can he suffer if he is killed. Add the black sword, being the son of Hurin and trained by the elves gives him a slight edge. Fingolfin a close second and then all the greats after that.
Yes that's true, Turin had to die by his own hand due to the way Morgoth's curse played out. Fingolfin did have Ringil though ;) What's also interesting to note is that there aren't too many heroes of legendary stature among the dwarves while there's quite a few for elves and men....
Tolkien based his dwarves on sterotypical Medieval viewpoint for jews \
Jews dont have very many heroes (David , Shamgar , Caleb, Sampson) of course their are the judges but those four are the only ones that have a great feat such as slaying a giant or a whole slew of men. whereas look at Europeans Beowulf , Siegfried, Roland, THe whole greco roman pantheon. need i continue our culture is more warlike .
Tolkien didnt hate Jews and actually portrayed Jews through his Dwarves favorably as serious minded and calculating on the costs and risks and hard working so his dwarves arnt going to slay a dragon just for no reason unless its for revenge just as Isreal and modern day Isreal dont go around conquering peopl they usually fight a defensive war or they retaliate
Your right about the dwarves there although it could be said that Illuvatar created Men and Elves and the dwarves were created by the one of the Valar who became impatient and therefore created an imperfect race. Dwarves handle fire and dragons much better than elves and men. I hope that the Silmarillion is made into a film(s). It would be epic to see the great moments of the story on the big screen and untampered like LOTR. Gandalf vs Witch King a huge let down for me.
Dwarves aren't a part of the original song is why. Despite being granted life, they were still creations of Aule and somewhat repressed in their ability for greatness.
I'm pretty sure if you read my above comment I mentioned clearly (in parantheses) how Turin will kill Morgoth for good at the Dagor Dagoreth. Please read before you make immature replies
He was the High King of the Noldor, and the father of Turgon (who was the king of gondolin), he was also the mightest, bravest warrior of all the children of eru. When he finally went to battle Morgorth he had managed to contain him for years, but he believed it had been lost due to misinformation. Hence his fury.
Children of Eru, was the Elves, Men and by adoption the Dwarves. The Dwarves were created by Aule but did not have free will until it was bestowed by Eru/ Illuvatar.
swampman is such a numbskull(sorry swampman bu u deserve many bad bad names to be bestowed upon you) pansy lover...ppl like that,i dont fucking know where they can come up wih a philosophy like that.For Tolkien's sake every godamned man that was worth a mention(Beren Camlost,Hurin Thalion and Huor,Tuor ,the mightiest Agarwaen,the son of Umarth wich is Turin Turamar and of coarse Earendil).Also Dior the Beautyful...who's blood is of Mankind,Elvenkind and the holy Ainu.All where elf-fosterdNLernd
lol people Elves are not wimps. They exiled themselves to fight Morgoth, thats why they are in Middle Earth to begin with. Except the Avari. They left middle-earth because they were weary and there age had come to an end, they, stepped aside gracefully for man...who represents Melkor the most. Elves are the greatest, read up on Glorfindel or Feanor or Fingolfin.
You bastard. Elves fought in many battles. They had already done their part in the war against Sauron and they didn't run naked through the woods. You are a @#$%, Swampman03. You are a thoughtless, empty-headed, unknowledgable son of a bitch and a piece of bullshit.
actually, almost every battle that elves fought in had men in them... without men, elves can barely manage... elves are cross dressing pansies and if you take offense u are 2... nothing you can tell me will let me think they are cool... elves are as gay as Liberace himself... they love to cross swords in the bedroom
What about the Battle-under-stars? Or the battles in Lothlorien? Or the First Battle? What about the Glorious Battle? How about the wars in Mirkwood? None of these battles had men in them and the elves won them.When the Witch King attacked Arnor, a kingdom of men, the men were utterly defeated. Glorfindel, an elf-lord, came and drove the Witch King away when none of the men could. Oh, and did you ever hear of a guy elf wearing a dress? I haven't.
I know you are but what what am I lol... Really i dont hate elves, just nerds who stick up for imaginary beings that reside in books... if they were real i'd probably be friends with those cross- dressing fairies... that or chillin with some dwarves... and hating the elves homo ways
you're the one who jumped in feigning some deep-seeded dislike of fictional characters and calling people gay who dont share the same view, so dont pull the "nerds getting their panties in a bunch" slant. thats your deal
if youre truly attempting to assess the "manliness" of elves by Tolkien's portrayal, simply know that you're wrong, and if you're a fan of Tolkien, read LOTR and The Silmarillion again so that you take away a more accurate characterization of elves than "cross-dressing fairies"
everything you have just said is amazing lol. you had me laughing the whole time. i am a very devoted fan of lord of the rings (And all other middle earth related books) Tolkien's love for the elves is well placed, but i happen to like every other race more than them. elves to me seem like big pansies. though they are powerful and kind, they are too wimpy for my tastes. they were defeated too many times to count in the books, and didn't live up to the title-the children of illuvatar in my eyes.
on top of that, i was just playin around when i said you guys were gay... im just implying that elves = fairys and if you like them than you are a fairy 2 hahahahahahah
notice the only men in the silmarillion of any honorable mention are those with elven blood (the numenoreans) or those who served elves in the wars of beleriand.
and come on...fingolfin riding across the battlefield with his eyes blazing like a Vala while all his enemies flee in terror...maiming Melkor in single combat....that's wimpy? yes he was exceptional, but characteristic of most elves. they bested men in strength and in beauty...that doesnt make them gay.
the stories of men in the silmarillion were the longest and most exciting stories in the book... the tales of beren, turin and etc all had longer chapters and were much more enjoyable to read in my opinion... and if im not mistaken beren (with the help of an elven female)- which is cool with me... injured morgoth as well... and aided in defeating most of morgoths best warriors... turin killed glaurung.... and everybody else... lol but all male olves are still gay
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
men have potential for evil, but so do elves, remember an elf lusted for power just like men do... remember the creator of the silmarillions? he was an elf who challenged the gods... the wood elf king in the hobbit captured the dwarfs because he didnt trust them... then took thier gold and jewels... which the dwarves created 2 begin with... elves are just as evil
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude if i was in distance of u id beat ur pussy ass!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO RACE SHALL EVER OUST THE PEOPLE OF THE ELDAR AND WHEN THEY RETURN.... ONLY THE MIGHTIEST OF MEN SHALL BE AMONG THEM WHEN THEY DESTROY EVIL FOR ALLTIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
honestly id love to see you try... because anyone who thinks elves are cool must be a wimp... they are not and i would much rather see men fight because they are all together better... elves were wimps who ran and hid for no particular reason... and Mr. Spartan i dont think you could whoop a man this strong... fairy boy
noooooooo, no offense yh, but what the hell r u talking about!!!!!!!!!, never!!!!!!!!!, firstly, melkor/morgoth is tfrom the ancient race of the ainur (so is sauron), and the ainur are the most powerful race ever to touch middle earth, fingolin will stand no chance.
Fingolfin was avenged when his great-grandson, Earendil, who brought ruin to Morgoth, by delivering the Silmaril (that Beren and Luthien won) to Valinor, sparking the War of Wrath. (Fingolfin-->Turgon-->Idril Turgon's daughter--->Earendil)
He didn't think there was going a "later" for the noldor. After losing the battle against morgoth he thought that the noldor would be destroyed and thus he decided to face morgoth alone.
I love this movie. After the Battle of Sudden Flame Fingolfin thought the Noldor would be utterly destroyed. In a fit of madness, he rode to Angband and challenged Morgoth. Fingolfin wounded Morgoth seven times but grew weary. Morgoth crushed him and Thorondor the great eagle carried the body away to be buried.
i admire their passion completely. I dont mean any offens, but thats my commnt. All that shouting and what not is really terrible....sorry. Rock on tolkien fans!
There are 4 dragons named in Tolkien's works; Glaurung was slain by Turin turambar; Ancalagon was destroyed by Earendil; Scatha fell to Fram of the Eotheod; and Smaug was shot down and killed by Bard of Dale. There is also a cold-drake mentioned (non fire-breathing dragon) that slew some of Durin's folk outside of Moria, but nothing is said of it's fate.
In fact the second prophecy of Mandos tells that one day Morgoth will escape his prison at the end of the world and destroy the sun and the moon, and during Dagor Dagorath (The battle of all battles), the Valar and all the free people of Arda will confront Melkor's armies, with Sauron, the dragons and the Balrogs brought back to life.
And it will finally be Turin Turambar who will plunge his black sword Gurthang into Morgoth's heart, so that the existence of Arda can be renewed.
In fact you can find it in the Silmarillion, in The Shaping of Middle-Earth and in The Lost Road. I read it in the Silmarillion though I don't remember where exactly in the book.
Fingolfin was said to be the strongest, most steadfast, and most valiant of Finwë's sons, and some have named him the greatest warrior of all the Children of Ilúvatar
Well, Silmarillion shows very many simularities to Old Norse Mythology. the entire story (that is, in general: leave out the Silmarills and Feanor rash oath and look at the mythologicall in it) is nearly, but quite not, the same, although it was long ago i read about it. either way, Feanor, Hurin, Turin, and that elf whose name i can never remember who blinded by jealousy against Tuor betrayed Gondolin - the book is full of tragedies, as you say, propably inspired by greek mythology
Just a curiosity i thought of whilst watching; The Iliad.
What i mean is, can anyone else see traits of Achillies in Feanor and Hector in Fingolfin. I think its intresting how their 'virtues' and traits are show through their death and how they are regarded by readers. (anyone else see that or is it me being mad and having too much time on my hands?) :-p
Feanor traped him self into his greatness and failed to see anything else .fingolfin was wiser but beeing a hero doent mean to defeat your enemy.finrod felagoud was the geatest hero along with beleg kouthalion.we all can defend what is ours and fight for glory but can we all sacrafice our selfs for frienship and love???thats what i think
Turín Turamabar was a great fighter. Feanor was great, but not the best. Beren was a true fighter, but not the best. There will never be a greater fighter than Tulkas, and not many had more wisdom than Olorín, Luthíen, and Melian.

To all who thinks elves are cool:
1) all elves look like girls,they have no Adams apple
2) anybody who loves to dance,play,and run naked through the woods is gay
3) all elves are slender, tall, and faggy
4) most elves have long hair, wear make-up, and dress in drag
5) elves are wimps, who gave up in the fight against sauron, deciding to turn tail and run, when they could have fought for glory and honor
6) elves love the weiner lol
* all above words also apply to hobbits as well...they are gay

You bastard. Elves fought in many battles. They had already done their part in the war against Sauron and they didn't run naked through the woods. You are a @#$%, Swampman03. You are a thoughtless, empty-headed, unknowledgable son of a bitch and a piece of bullshit.
horsecrazyalexis 2 years ago 2
actually, almost every battle that elves fought in had men in them... without men, elves can barely manage... elves are cross dressing pansies and if you take offense u are 2... nothing you can tell me will let me think they are cool... elves are as gay as Liberace himself... they love to cross swords in the bedroom
swampman03 2 years ago
What about the Battle-under-stars? Or the battles in Lothlorien? Or the First Battle? What about the Glorious Battle? How about the wars in Mirkwood? None of these battles had men in them and the elves won them.When the Witch King attacked Arnor, a kingdom of men, the men were utterly defeated. Glorfindel, an elf-lord, came and drove the Witch King away when none of the men could. Oh, and did you ever hear of a guy elf wearing a dress? I haven't.

I know you are but what what am I lol... Really i dont hate elves, just nerds who stick up for imaginary beings that reside in books... if they were real i'd probably be friends with those cross- dressing fairies... that or chillin with some dwarves... and hating the elves homo ways
swampman03 2 years ago
you're the one who jumped in feigning some deep-seeded dislike of fictional characters and calling people gay who dont share the same view, so dont pull the "nerds getting their panties in a bunch" slant. thats your deal
if youre truly attempting to assess the "manliness" of elves by Tolkien's portrayal, simply know that you're wrong, and if you're a fan of Tolkien, read LOTR and The Silmarillion again so that you take away a more accurate characterization of elves than "cross-dressing fairies"

everything you have just said is amazing lol. you had me laughing the whole time. i am a very devoted fan of lord of the rings (And all other middle earth related books) Tolkien's love for the elves is well placed, but i happen to like every other race more than them. elves to me seem like big pansies. though they are powerful and kind, they are too wimpy for my tastes. they were defeated too many times to count in the books, and didn't live up to the title-the children of illuvatar in my eyes.
swampman03 2 years ago
on top of that, i was just playin around when i said you guys were gay... im just implying that elves = fairys and if you like them than you are a fairy 2 hahahahahahah
swampman03 2 years ago
notice the only men in the silmarillion of any honorable mention are those with elven blood (the numenoreans) or those who served elves in the wars of beleriand.
and come on...fingolfin riding across the battlefield with his eyes blazing like a Vala while all his enemies flee in terror...maiming Melkor in single combat....that's wimpy? yes he was exceptional, but characteristic of most elves. they bested men in strength and in beauty...that doesnt make them gay.
flukshun 2 years ago
the stories of men in the silmarillion were the longest and most exciting stories in the book... the tales of beren, turin and etc all had longer chapters and were much more enjoyable to read in my opinion... and if im not mistaken beren (with the help of an elven female)- which is cool with me... injured morgoth as well... and aided in defeating most of morgoths best warriors... turin killed glaurung.... and everybody else... lol but all male olves are still gay

men have potential for evil, but so do elves, remember an elf lusted for power just like men do... remember the creator of the silmarillions? he was an elf who challenged the gods... the wood elf king in the hobbit captured the dwarfs because he didnt trust them... then took thier gold and jewels... which the dwarves created 2 begin with... elves are just as evil

Fingolfin was avenged when his great-grandson, Earendil, who brought ruin to Morgoth, by delivering the Silmaril (that Beren and Luthien won) to Valinor, sparking the War of Wrath. (Fingolfin-->Turgon-->Idril Turgon's daughter--->Earendil)

He didn't think there was going a "later" for the noldor. After losing the battle against morgoth he thought that the noldor would be destroyed and thus he decided to face morgoth alone.

He was truly a brave king, but he could have holded his wrath and use himself later, in times of true need for sacrifice..

I love this movie. After the Battle of Sudden Flame Fingolfin thought the Noldor would be utterly destroyed. In a fit of madness, he rode to Angband and challenged Morgoth. Fingolfin wounded Morgoth seven times but grew weary. Morgoth crushed him and Thorondor the great eagle carried the body away to be buried.

There are 4 dragons named in Tolkien's works; Glaurung was slain by Turin turambar; Ancalagon was destroyed by Earendil; Scatha fell to Fram of the Eotheod; and Smaug was shot down and killed by Bard of Dale. There is also a cold-drake mentioned (non fire-breathing dragon) that slew some of Durin's folk outside of Moria, but nothing is said of it's fate.

In fact the second prophecy of Mandos tells that one day Morgoth will escape his prison at the end of the world and destroy the sun and the moon, and during Dagor Dagorath (The battle of all battles), the Valar and all the free people of Arda will confront Melkor's armies, with Sauron, the dragons and the Balrogs brought back to life.
And it will finally be Turin Turambar who will plunge his black sword Gurthang into Morgoth's heart, so that the existence of Arda can be renewed.

Where do you find that prophecy? Unfinished tales?

In fact you can find it in the Silmarillion, in The Shaping of Middle-Earth and in The Lost Road. I read it in the Silmarillion though I don't remember where exactly in the book.

Well, Silmarillion shows very many simularities to Old Norse Mythology. the entire story (that is, in general: leave out the Silmarills and Feanor rash oath and look at the mythologicall in it) is nearly, but quite not, the same, although it was long ago i read about it. either way, Feanor, Hurin, Turin, and that elf whose name i can never remember who blinded by jealousy against Tuor betrayed Gondolin - the book is full of tragedies, as you say, propably inspired by greek mythology

Just a curiosity i thought of whilst watching; The Iliad.
What i mean is, can anyone else see traits of Achillies in Feanor and Hector in Fingolfin. I think its intresting how their 'virtues' and traits are show through their death and how they are regarded by readers. (anyone else see that or is it me being mad and having too much time on my hands?) :-p

Turín Turamabar was a great fighter. Feanor was great, but not the best. Beren was a true fighter, but not the best. There will never be a greater fighter than Tulkas, and not many had more wisdom than Olorín, Luthíen, and Melian.
