@StingString dude, we're saying the exact same thing. There appears to be some kind of communication barrier, but I'm confident that we're saying the same thing.

@Immediate need No, we are not. To put it into simpler words, Sauron was killed by Isildur; but you believe that Sauron was killed by Gil-galad and/or Elendil.

@StingString can you please clarify what exactly you think happened? It seems like you're thinking of the movies.

@Immediate need Sauron was killed when Isildur cut off the finger containing the Ring. The movies are true to the books in this aspect.

I’m starting to agree that it was Feanor. Too late?🤣

@StingString what? Every person who knows anything about the LotR books knows that Sauron fought the duo of Elendil and Gil-galad, and thus was defeated. He didn't just keel over and die like in the film.

Insults aren't going to get you anywhere. I also suspect you won't be able to outsource StingString.

Allow me to say this one more time: Gil-Galad did not kill Sauron. Sauron killed him. Isildur killed Sauron.

Not super complicated.

^ I am not insulting him, I am questioning his knowledge. This very wiki supports my statement. It was not Gil-galad who slew Sauron, it was not Elendil who slew him. Isildur prevented further battle, by taking the ring. Sauron never died, only his body perished, and that's owed to Elendil and Gil-galad fighting him when he was vulnerable. Isildur took it from Sauron's defeated form, and thus Sauron's body was destroyed. That's it. All three of them were responsible for his death.

1. I agree, Gil-galad did not kill Sauron. That's my point. You gave Gil-galad (and Elendil) credit for killing Sauron earlier in this thread, and that is simply not true.

2. Right, Sauron wasn't actually killed, you know what I mean. I'm just using that as the operative term.

3. The only real argument you can make is that Gil-galad (with the help of Elendil) injured Sauron a bit, but they also lost that fight. Without Isildur, their is no vanquished Sauron. So if you're saying that the three of them share equal credit for the "death" of Sauron, that is also not true.

Look. this has all been a red herring from the larger issue, which is your claim that Gil-galad is stronger than Feanor because he defeated Sauron. That is just incorrect.

Feanor is far more powerful, but is not stronger than Gil-galad. Isildur could not have killed Sauron if not for Gil-galad. Gil-galad could not have done this without Elendil by his side, and the two wouldn't do that to Sauron if he had not fought their warriors prior.
