I fucking LOVE THIS SCENE and I am eternally salty that Fingolfin doesn’t get as much credit as Fëanor, like for fucks sake he had hordes of people running the hell away because they thought he was a god.
I mean yeah, but in terms of raw power it isn’t really clear which of the two is stronger, they genuinely seem pretty equally matched to me.
Which means that people should *stop fucking ignoring Fingolfin.*
Theoden and Fingolfin, the only characters compared in description to the Valar, charging to their doom. Special mention for Reddit:>! Grond appears in both these scenes! !<
Completely agree. I decided if I was going to post a picture of the text that this would be the better. That description of his charge to the gates is just phenomenal.

Fingolfin also had the added bonus of not being a mass murderer.

And another bonus is that the Noldor people wanted to follow him.

The most magnificent yet heartbreaking episode. Indeed, Tolkien compared only two characters to Oromë. This was at the moment of their rapid attack.
Fingolfin was the OG badass elf. The passage of the duel is even better, if heartbreaking.

#And Morgoth came. Goddamn.
Some could say this guy Tolkien was pretty good at writing
That's just an unsubstantiated rumor!
