Whatever.

He didn't start the war. Melkor did. Melkor made it his number one goal to corrupt Feanor. Once he decided to do that, it was a given that Feanor was going to be tainted. The only people who had the power to undo the damage were the Valar. But instead of undoing Melkor's lies (like Melian did with Hurin) they punished Feanor via banishment which only strengthened Melkor's stain.

Yeah. Really great judgment there.

Once that happened, it was over. Something bad was going to happen. And Melkor stealing the greatest work of hands ever (Silmarils) and killing Feanor's father pushed Feanor over the edge (remember, it said Feanor loved his dad more than any son ever loved his father).

And when Feanor arrived at Alqualonde, he didn't start the killing. He offered the idea of Olwe's people helping them build boats or ferrying them. It was a reasonable offer considering the Noldor had built their city for them. But no. Because the Valar didn't want the Noldor to leave, their puppet Olwe refused to help.

So Feanor began manning the ships. And then the Alqualonde elves starting throwing them overboard. And remember, the Noldor were weighted down with weapons and and armor and such, so the Alqualonde elves were essentially drowning them. They started the killing.

But anyway, this exercise in logical thinking usually proves too much for my fellow Downers. It's much easier mentally to blame Feanor rather than trace things back to the Valar.

So phantom was Feanor obligated to have Melkor taint him? Perhaps he could devalue his possessions enough. I think the Feanor story is all about point of view and we have a different point of view. Why is it the Valar's job to bail him out?

He didn't have a choice. If Melkor decides he is going to corrupt someone, if he's allowed to work his evil magic (the way the Valar allowed him to), then it's pretty much a given that he's going to succeed. Even Hurin the Steadfast couldn't help but be tainted by Melkor.

Once Melkor decided that ruining Feanor was his top priority, it was going to happen. Melkor is that powerful.

If his target of choice would've been Finrod during those years in Valinor, then Finrod would've done something nutty (unless the Valar had stepped in to counter Melkor).

Why is it their job to have compassion on a child of Eru and attempt to set them right?

You've gotta be kidding.

If you want to see how Feanor should've been dealt with, look at Melian and Hurin. She did the right thing and showed compassion and undid Melkor's malice. The Valar on the other hand strengthened Melkor's lies with their harsh banishment. They dropped the ball, plain and simple.

Anyway, this is exactly why I didn't want Feanor included in this thing. Hardly anyone thinks about him properly.

Besides I imagine Thingol looks like a lewd grandpa just because I once managed to paint him like that. Eww.
All right, point taken

Oh, how corrupted by Morgoth's lies you have become! You start with speaking about him, yet end up with Valar, who were as much victims as your Fëanor was.

However anyway, Fëanor was selfish and greedy person, who did not care about the lives of his kin, and even of those close to him who followed (I heard about some ship burning). Mainly, however, you say the Valar were the only ones to remove the damage. Not really. They asked Fëanor to give him the Silmarils, yet here his greed prevailed (it's of no matter that he factically didn't have them anymore at that point) and he refused to give it to them. And they did not force him, by any means, even though I can imagine people who would argue they had the right to, as there was the fate of Arda at stake (I think it was right the way they did it, but anyway).

Perhaps the Noldor had moral right for some of the Teleri's help, and they were their kin after all, however anyway, Noldor had no right to go and take their ships if Teleri did not give them to them. They Noldor acted no differently from Morgoth, the basis of the deed is the same: stealing something that does not belong to them, and eventually killing others in the process.

P.S. But seeing that also Morm has joined the discussion, I am beginning to worry that we got a bit off-topic on this thread

Hurt Ulmo, hurt Ungoliant. Heal Finrod, the only dude who cared about Men.

Legate: I have read CoH rather recently. Didn't help at all to develop feelings for anybody there...

Phantom: WOW - it were the Teleri who started the bloodbath at Alqualonde! I am convinced now. Go, Feanor!

Yes, I understand that - but I simply don't. There's about one line about him. Glorfindel, on the other hand, was far cooler when it comes to the matter. Besides, I don't like his name that much. It really fits much more to a Gondorian steward than to an Elf, in my opinion.

Sure, sure, I see. Maybe it's just me. There's such an awful abundance of Elven princes in the Silm, that I quite like the few regular ones, Ecthelion, Glorfindel, Mablung, Beleg, Daeron, Voronwe... especially if they accomplished something as great as Ecthelion did. It sticks out.

Sure, sure, I see. Maybe it's just me. There's such an awful abundance of Elven princes in the Silm, that I quite like the few regular ones, Ecthelion, Glorfindel, Mablung, Beleg, Daeron, Voronwe... especially if they accomplished something as great as Ecthelion did. It sticks out.
Yes, I see. But actually, funnily enough I like all the others you named except for Ecthelion. Perhaps he's too noble for me, in some way - you know, like a noble prince who appears, kills a Balrog and disappears again. Glorfindel is more of a knight, he has some more background; Mablung is a hunter, Beleg too, Daeron is a singer, Voronwë is a mariner. So the representative of the feudal class, so to say, is not seeming special in any way.

Phantom's edit & Mac's vote right after that messed the list up a bit. I have corrected it now.
