I can’t get over the fact that Celebrimbor never stood a chance. If he had not let Halbrand in, he would have changed form and come back. I truly think that Sauron could have easily done that, but preferred to keep the face as Celebrimbor already knew and trusted him.
And that’s it.
He hasn’t stood a chance since Halbrand first met him, he’s the tragedy that haunts the narrative in the doors of Moria, in all the rings, as even the One was done as a mockery of the art of Celebrimbor himself. Of the good intentions he had. The hope.
There is no version of this in which he makes it because he is a tool to Sauron’s plans, just another tool to craft the rings.
And all else he is, passionate and hopeful and Smart and clever, the compassion and love and kindness? That all gets lost. And that’s the tragedy.
