If you ask me, they all got away with far too much before they died. Hmm.

Ah - it seems Androg and Mim cursed each other, which means all four had curses laid on them. Is that specific enough? I'm worried by the 'that other characters don't have' part of the thread - there were a lot of curses bouncing around Beleriand.

It is specific enough, and yes, I am aware, but it is good enough.

You don't like them, I take it?

As for me, I like half of them more than I should like, and I like half of them less than half of what they deserve.

Well, Androg was a murderer and attempted rapist, Mim went around scattering curses wherever he went, Turin brought down Nargothrond, and Maeglin betrayed Gondolin and tried his hand at infanticide. I think all of them fall firmly into the 'if you'd died sooner everyone around you would have been better off' category; whether I like them is beside the point. (For the record, I feel a lot of sympathy for Mim, but yikes was he malicious.)

So is that over to me?

Yes, it is.

And what's is this? You feel sympathy for an 'evil' character? Well, so do I. What a happy coincidence.
