My favorite is Bog king from Strange Magic - Has a song talking about how evil he is. But all he does is prevent the spread of dangerous mind control magic, and quarantine people under the effects of said magic. Yes he greatly annoys people doing so, but honestly? If I get hit by a love potion, please quarantine me.
Melkior/Morgoth, they saw that Arda was a deeply flawed creation and attempted to correct it before existence was sung into being.
After the fact their actions are certainly viewed as evil by the world they tried to change but had the rest of the Vala joined his song the world simply would have been different, not worse.
Fingolfin, at the gates.
???
Shaka, when the walls fell.
I got that reference, but I miss the fingolfin one. I doubt morgoth stayed in his fortress because he’s a good guy.
Yeah… I didn’t get the fingolfin reference either… but their wording was wonderfully awful.

Dude tooled up to the gates of Angband, challenged Morgoth to single combat, and left a mark.
He was a hero among elves and free men.
I know, but why would that make morgoth a good guy? Also, I think the op was referring to the time fingolfin challenged morgoth, but he started in his fortress
Wasn’t he just a proud dude that disagreed with how the song of creation was to be sung - and sung his version anyway? But then it was “all according to plan” anyways?
Pretty much. They were a dick later on, though. I think #melkiordidnothingwrong ended when they stole the silmarils.
