I always tease my husband that if a Silmarillion movie was ever made, then I would be first in line to see it, hate it, and decry it every after, then be the first in line to buy it on DVD! When I first got into the Tolkien community, I thought that the LotR purists who nitpicked every change that PJ made to the original had sticks up their butts and needed to chill out and enjoy the movies for what they were. Then, I had the slow realization that, were the Sil ever to make it to the big screen (haha), then I would be the same way! And some Tolkien newbie would be telling *me* to chill out and enjoy the movie!
I have seen well written evil Feanor and Sons. I just generally do not like "all good" or "all evil" characters; actually, I think I despise perfect "all good" characters the more! (After all, evil characters are fun!) Even though my Nelyo and Macalaure in this story are very good Elves, they have their faults and their vices. (And I'm saying no more about it!) But an evil character with depth is a good character...and I think that any character short of Morgoth can be done in this fashion. Maybe even Morgoth...something about Eru's favoritism of Manwe...his lack of appreciation....
Oh, great, something just bit my ankle! ::looks down:: Yup. A nuzgul :D
By the way, you said you had a Feanor story? ::evil grin:: Willing to share? >:-D
