"Then Morgoth hurled aloft Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, and swung it down like a bolt of thunder. But Fingolfin sprung aside, and Grond rent a mighty pit in the earth, whence smoke and fire darted. Many times Morgoth essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leaped away, as 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 throughout the Northlands. But at the last the King grew weary, and Morgoth bore down his shield upon him. Thrice he was crushed to his knees, and thrice he arose 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 left 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 rushed 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. The orcs make no boast of that duel at the gate; neither do the elves sing of it, for their sorrow is too deep."

[@Torstenn-b3x]

This passage really shows the greatness of Fingolfin. Not only was he the bravest of the Children of Eru to be the only one to ever fight single-handedly against a Vala out of choice (the other possible contender is his father Finwe, but that certainly was not out of choice and we don't know if he actually fought Morgoth or was just killed straight away), not only did he wound Morgoth grieviously eight times, not only did he call him a coward in front of his own army but when he was exhausted and all but beaten, when Morgoth used his superior power to crush down on Fingolfin with his shield...Fingolfin as a mere Elf was able to push himself back up from his knees to his feet against a Vala three times before finally falling. There's no doubt in my mind that had the opponent been a Balrog rather than Morgoth that he alone out of all of the Elves (and even Gandalf) to have killed one would have walked away from the deed rather than be killed himself, if that is what he could do to Morgoth Bauglir.

@@Torstenn-b3x Lungorthin, the Thane of Morgoth, was twice the size of the Balrogs, such as Durin's Bane, and stood as a towering figure of 5 to 6 meters in full armor, much like Gothmog. Despite his immense stature, he was genuinely fearful of Glorfindel's wrath. Glorfindel swiftly cut off his whip, disarmed him, and shattered his shield. Then, he drove his sword into Lungorthin's belly. As the dark lord began to fall, he dragged Glorfindel down with him into the abyss.

I often think about why Tolkien’s universe has this effect. We find the same or similar deeds in the classical world, epic duels, Hector and Achilles, and who knows how much more. So why is this so passionate, so close? Well, I have always thought that the real reason is that Tolkien’s evil is an absolute evil, devoid of doubt, to be eradicated. Identifying with Fingolfin means being a hero of good, no second thoughts, no doubts. And I think this comes from Tolkien’s experience in the fields of the First World War, when the not certainty of an absolute evil on the opposite side shattered already destroyed motivations, when the oblivion of being just another dead man broke the dreams of everlasting glory. So, I think that in those moments, taking refuge in Arda was a real salvation.

Yeah, please God, don't let PJ fuck it up.

[@Wustenfuchs109]

@@aldunlop4622 Well, he did f up with Hobbit films. And his other films were not that great either. People might need to realize that LotR trilogy was a anomaly that turned out the way it did because of a one in a million perfect alignment of every aspect of the film making, even with all of its production problems. You will hardly see something like that repeated, PJ or not.

@@Wustenfuchs109 Oh his fucks up are nothing compared to the Rings of Power slop. At least they felt a bit like Tolkien.

The high king, the bearer of hope of his people, challenged the devil, the darkness itself, for their sake and vengeance 😢 The most badass duel in fantasy universe off all times!

[@MZophiel]

My absolute favourite scene of all of Tolkien's Legendarium. Fingolfin literally challenged (and bloodied) an actual god.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks!

[@keinname3363]

This is absolutely amazing! Brilliant!❤🥰 (For future videos perhaps you could make the voice slightly louder, at times it is basically unintelligable behind the music. Still great though of course.)
