Naw, he was literally fresh off of the Blessed Land, any elf could take on a balrog at that point in time. He was just slightly elevated/able to take on a few more, but he still died. Whereas the plebicite Fingolfin (das the correct name right?) got to battle freaking Morgoth himself, & kick his ass. He only died because he ran out of gas, & that was ages after the light of Valinor had died in him. Totally broken mechanics if you ask me. Also Tolkien didn’t spend much time on Fëanor’s death, only a paragraph or three, whereas the Morgoth battle was appropriately epic in scale.
