    The Iron Crown? *MORGOTH'S* fucking *CROWN?!*
    *. . . .*
    Okay, some context: after Morgoth was overthrown in the War of Wrath, the Valar repurposed his crown into a ̶s̶e̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶s̶h̶a̶c̶k̶l̶e̶s̶/̶m̶a̶n̶a̶c̶l̶e̶s̶ collar that was placed around his neck before tossing him out the Doors of Night. Now, I'm not fully clear on what exactly the Doors of Night are or how they work, but I do know that they are some sort of portal into the Timeless Void. As in, he is _outside_ of Eä, (the universe).
    So this show would have us believe that somebody recovered the Iron Crown (which is no longer crown-shaped) from *OUTSIDE* the *KNOWN UNIVERSE* and also wrestled it off of Morgoth himself and also was able to get back into the physical universe and also Morgoth couldn't get back in and also crowns are weapons.
    Cool, cool. That's cool.

      When I heard the sentence I wondered who had read Tolkien while watching Jackie Chan movies. Even Odd Job's hat made sense in context as a weapon that could be hidden in plain sight. It's objectively silly but fits the spy genre. They just said that the crown had just absorbed enough angelic power. However, Tolkien had no fundamental differences between angels and elves. They were even biologically compatible as Luthien was half Maiar. They don't need some magic weapon, and by adding this they undermine Gandalf by making him technically invulnerable in the original books, despite the fact that he broke his arm at the Battle of five armies.

      The Ainur are kinda like pure spirit entities so describing him as formless is not entirelly wrong. The thing is that those whodescended into creation can make bodies to influence and exist in the material world. So their bodies are like clothes to the valar/maiar and although they can get pretty attached to them, and in case of Morgoth and other evil maiar bound to it in an almost permanent way, those are not exactly their true faces... Also fun fact that their material bodies are not THAT special, theoretically a basic human could sneak on a sleeping Morgoth with a normal steel sword and slit his neck, he just needed to understand that in a few years when he rebuilt his body there would be a near godlike existance hunting him down.

    As it says on the website I’ve looked up: “The Iron Crown was forged by Morgoth in the year Y.T. 1495 on his return to Middle-earth to hold the three Silmarils. He bore it throughout the First Age, and would not remove it, although it was a great burden to him. In F.A. 466, Lúthien cast a spell of sleep upon Morgoth, and as he fell to the ground, the Iron Crown rolled away. Beren retrieved a Silmaril from it using the knife Angrist. He attempted to take a second, but the knife broke, and Morgoth stirred. After Morgoth's defeat by the Valar in the War of Wrath, the crown was beaten into a collar for his neck.”
    So, not only should they not have Morgoth’s crown, but it would of been around his neck when he was banished to the void. It’s not only dumb but it actually keeps breaking the lore that they’ve dishonestly claimed that they’ve paid respects to.

      The funny thing is that Sauron can be killed by any normal weapon. The whole point is that the Maiar can build new mortal bodies. He dies a couple times in the Silmarillion to normal weapons, the first time he takes a decade to rebuild a body when he dies in Numenor and the second time he takes 1000 years when Isildur takes aeay the ring. And the only reason after LotR he "dies is because he tied so much of his power in the ring that when it is destroied he doesnt have any more strenght to influence the world directly so no new body.

    If the crown was made as a weapon in the form of a crown to hide the fact it was a weapon to catch the one you are crowning off guard could be plausible,
    though personally making those spikes as hidden daggers that you can detach from the crown base as a hidden weapon for the ruler to use in case of attack as the last line of defense and it being a weapon capable of harming the divine is just giving some extra purposes is least nice, basically crown is sort of weapon rack on your head?

    Sauron is so powerful, he can use that crown as a weapon. Though he usually uses it as a buckler to trap his enemy's weapon while using a sword or spear as a primary weapon. But yeah, the point is that it's not very efficient. He's like Inigo playing left-handed, intentionally handicapping himself to make things more fun, even though he's vastly more powerful than his opponents.

    In defense of the indefensible, a dark lord taking the thing that had cut them down and using it during their rise to power is a fun concept to play with.
    Unfortunately they went about it in one of, if not the, dumbest possible ways.
    A much better way to use this concept (which I am certain they intend to do if the series continues) would be to have Sauron melt the crown down and incorporate the metal into the one ring and/or the ring wraiths' weapons.
    They could have simply broken the crown at some point so Sauron could have a dagger like object during that fight, which would have also given them the option to use the crown fragments as a set of McGuffins for the characters to fight over if the series continues. I'm pretty good at just turning my brain off and so have not had an issue with most of the series, but using the crown as a parrying device is too goddamn stupid even for me.
