Actually, that sounds quite good, Finwe.
I know. Thingol will be portrayed as an overly possessive father who is reluctant to allow his daughter to marry the hero and forsake her immortality.

Oh wait a moment ...

Thingol will be played by Hugo Weaving and will look like Elrond. In fact, Thingol will be Elrond, and Luthien his first daughter. To make the story simpler, the Seven sons of Feanor will become the Two Sons (Magormfin and Maedranrodris, shortened to Mag and Med).
Finarfin and his sons will disappear, and be replaced by various sons of Fingolfin/Feanor. Fingolfin will also only have two sons. The daughtes will be non-existant, except Galadriel who will be Elronds first wife rather than Melian. Got all that?
