Most of the creative things Morgoth did were actually achieved by Sauron as his idea guy. You are right that from a purely religious point of view, it would probably better if all humans were killed but their souls survived, rather than their souls be corrupted to evil. I still think Morgoth's intentions are closer to absolute evil than Sauron ...

2020年9月13日 · The language used to describe the Valinoran forces in the War of Wrath ("The Host of the Valar" and "The Might of the Valar") seems to imply some form of participation by the Valar, but parallel language (particularly "The Host of Morgoth") is used elsewhere in the same text to refer to armies doing Morgoth's will and imbued with some his power ...

2022年10月14日 · Morgoth at the time of the War of the Jewels had become permanently ‘incarnate’: for this reason he was afraid, and waged the war almost entirely by means of devices, or of subordinates and dominated creatures.-Morgoth's Ring: Notes on Motives in the Silmarillion. I don't think this is quite accurate though:

In it, Morgoth figures out how to break through the Doors of Night and return to the world, and a final battle will be fought. The Valar will fight with the elves, dwarves, men, and all the races of Arda against the evils of Morgoth, and he will finally be destroyed, the Silmarils recovered from the depths of the world and their light used to ...

2019年5月5日 · Morgoth vs Fingolfin is probably my favourite passage in the Silmarillion. It also inspired one of my favourite songs! Edit:It's specifically the"And Morgoth came."part.He got hyped up for a long time at this point and we just don't need any description of him since we already exactly know what he is about.

Morgoth was a prolific corrupter and creator bringing forth dragons, balrogs, trolls, orcs, werewolves, wargs, etc. Morgoth made Orodruin whereas Sauron merely obtained it. They both share in the destruction of land masses indirectly such as Beleriand and Numenor.

2016年2月24日 · Because Morgoth, by then, has spent the vast majority of his power by pouring it into Arda itself and corrupting it - but becoming proportionally weaker in the process. Tolkien wrote somewhere (in Morgoth's Ring, I think, unless I'm misremembering) that, as a matter of fact, end-of-First-Age Morgoth was quite a lot weaker than Second-Age Sauron.

Therefore Morgoth came, climbing slowly from his subterranean throne, and the rumour of his feet was like thunder underground. And he issued forth clad in black armour; and he stood before the King like a tower , iron-crowned, and his vast shield, sable on-blazoned, cast a shadow over him like a stormcloud.

2019年5月13日 · Morgoth had no 'plan', unless destruction and reduction to nil of a world in which he had only a share can be called a 'plan'. But this is, of course, a simplification of the situation. Sauron had not served Morgoth, even in his last stages, without becoming infected by his lust for destruction, and his hatred of God (which must end in Nhilism).

2020年10月17日 · Morgoth is the equivalent of Satan, except instead of just tempting people he also throws all-out wars against all of civilization and nearly wins. And the high-level beings in his army (Balrogs, Sauron, dragons, himself) are basically immune to most magic, the only anti-feat being Luthien's singing, who was half-Maia.
