>appear WAY after elves, in fact way after most of the important events in Beleriand have already happened
Yeah, I guess Beor, Huor, Tuor and Turin Turambar were just fucking around aimlessly, as well as those Men who fought in the War of Wrath
>more easily corrupted
Not by much, judging from what we read in Silmarillion
>physically weaker
Not a big deal, especially for the Edain
>spend their initial years as slaves to Morgoth
This is merely an assumption, not a hard fact.
>betray elves at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, hated/mistrusted by them ever since
Yeah, so fucking what? Elves were betraying and killing each other left and right kek
What really matters, however, is that Men will participate in the Second song of the Ainur while the Elves will perish alongside old Arda.
