Save for possibly Eru or Tom, it isn't. Middle-Earth is odd and mysterious, but in the end if a guy with a powerful will gets his head cut off, he is dead. While the will of a person stands out, it does not grant them any extreme powers or immortality. Examples; Feanor died, Morgoth was defeated, Sauron was defeated, Thingol (who seemed pretty intent on those Silmarils at the time) was taken out by Dwarves, a balrog killed Glorfindel, Hurin was still taken captive, the Witch-King was taken out by Merry and Eyown, Frodo still suffered wounds, etc. Will is important, but not that effective.
