Why was it Glorfindel that was reincarnated and sent back? Yes he was a great warrior/elf-lord and he saved Tuor and company from the Balrog when they were fleeing Gondolin. I would never bad mouth him. Its just that Ecthelion killed what 4 Balrogs and then turned around and killed Gothmog. He dies as well but still thats 5 Balrogs, one being the greatest of them all. I just think Ecthelion is over looked alot of times. I mean Gorfindel got sent back and what did Ecthelion get, Denethor's father named after him haha JK. Unless mayby he had done his part or something like that. Ecthelion is prolly my fav character besides Finrod, "Ecthelion of the Fountain" how cool of a name is that?
