TM and obloquy,

I understand what you're saying, but I still see Glorfindel as "average" among the great heroes of the elves. I mean, Gil-Galad defeated Sauron with Ecthelion's help and sacrificed himself in the process. Fingolfin died fighting the Big Kahuna himself, Morgoth. Couldn't one argue that, instead of resurrecting Glorfindel to aid Elrond, why not instead resurrect Gil-Galad or Fingolfin to rule as High King of the Noldor again?
