Vanyar > Noldor?

[thorondil]

Lindil:

But I ask all who make such assertions this. In the extendde DVD of the FotR, did the departing Noldor appear 'realistic' to you?

And if so do they more truly seem like the fiery Noldor of the Rebellion crossing frozen wastes with an almost suicidal determination, or were they more like the Vanyar meditaiting and singing upon the heights of Taniquetil. Did they seem bored or boring?

I see your point, Lindil, and while maybe not boring (at least for an instant [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) it was ethereal and funeral-like. Maybe I'm "fallen" too, but I would not be content to sing in such a way on the heights of Taniquetil. I would be more at home fighting and singing with the Noldor.

The Noldor were greatest in skill and knowledge (and probably in speech and singing too), if not in wisdom, and "in many things they soon surpassed their teachers (the Valar).
