I agree with the civil war too! I don't think I mentioned that in my original comment. It's just not something I'd write, because I know the comment section would end up full of Thingol hate, and he's one of my favorite characters.
The only reason that I like moving Beren into Luthien's role is because, I'll admit, I deeply resent that out of all the elf-human unions we see in the books, the only ones that end happily are either Idril and Tuor (so Turgon's daughter, who was apparently one of the Valar's favorites) and then the descendants of one of the Maia, because I can't see myself in either Idril or Luthien that well. I like both of them, they're just not the characters I connect with.
