Love this. Here's the other one I felt I had to contribute from among several ideas:
EPIC KILLS 1. Bard 2. Morgoth 3. Dįin 4. Tśrin 5. Merry and Éowyn 6. Gandalf 7. Gollum 8. Helm Hammerhand (punched Freca so hard that he died; I don't know if the Professor thought this amusing, but I've always considered it to be one of the most hilarious instances of over-the-top heroic violence in the whole legendarium)

EPIC KILLS
1. Bard 2. Morgoth 3. Dįin 4. Tśrin 5. Merry and Éowyn 6. Gandalf 7. Gollum 8. Helm Hammerhand 9. Gurthang Surely killing Tśrin Turambar is epic enough in itself, even if a talking sword did it? * (However, please delete if you don't agree). (punched Freca so hard that he died; I don't know if the Professor thought this amusing, but I've always considered it to be one of the most hilarious instances of over-the-top heroic violence in the whole legendarium) It's typical Old Norse humour - I think JRRT would have found it amusing. So is the killing of Golfimbul, I suppose. * "There he drew forth his sword, that now alone remained to him of all his possessions, and he said, 'Hail Gurthang! No lord or loyalty dost thou know, save the hand that weildeth thee. From no blood wilt thou shrink. Wilt thou therefore take Tśrin Turambar, wilt thou slay me swiftly?' "And from the blade rang a cold voice in answer: 'Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly.' "Then Tśrin set the hilts upon the ground, and cast himself upon the point of Gurthang, and the black blade took his life. ... "Then they lifted up Tśrin, and found that Gurthang had broken asunder."
