I never saw Turin slaying Melkor as a problem or an unlikely event within the myth [In reply to]	Can't Post

beause I do not think it is ever written that he alone slays Melkor, more that he gives him his death stroke after he is substantially weakened and/or preoccupied fighting another or others. Similar to how Eowyn finished off the Witch King.

It seems to be fitting and fated that this happens given the singular way Melkor as Morgoth cursed Hurin and his family.
