Another cursed Silmarillion concept: Maedhros never existed. He was an uncle-sam type charachter fabricated by the Noldor to drum up patriotism with fantastical stories of his defiance of melkor and his valor in battle.

Vmae, that’s one of the most Cursed things you’ve ever said

He’s the Paul Bunyan of middle earth. He’s folklore. 

“Yeah well I HEARD the Prince is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ELF IN BELERIAND”
“He withstood melkor’s torture for 40 YEARS”
“They cut of his HAND and he STILL goes to war!”
“The ORCS are scared to even LOOK at him!”
“He’s the KINDEST ELF he tries to rescue abandoned kids from forests!!”
“Yeah well I heard he personally told Sauron to go fuck himself”
“He’s a feanorian but he’s A GOOD ONE, he, like, totally REFUSED to burn the boats!”
“HE’S TALL AS FUCK. THE BIGGEST ELF.”

See? No way is this a real man. This is a fake man. He’s propaganda. He’s a thing of legend. He’s the “Ideal Soldier” that they tell you about in PT before you go off to defend middle earth.
