I really struggled with this too. It seems like the Valar punish humans for the sins of the Noldor. Humans never had Orome to wake up to and tell them what was what. The only Maiar they encounter are Morgoth and his ilk, and then they have to suffer for choosing him when there's not really an alternative. That didn't seem fair.

But then I read the supplemental material for Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth, and I understood what Tolkien was going for. It still feels unfair in some sense but it's the price of free will. I like Manwe and I think he's in an interesting spot. I think he does all he can to help while being constrained by the sphere of action he's allowed. It makes him more interesting than Odin or Zeus, the Sky Gods that he emulates, because he is very powerful but he submits his will to another. He can't just do as he pleases. But he answers prayers whenever he can. Even after Fingon took part in the Kinslaying, Manwe still sent his eagle to help him save Maedhros. He's very interesting.
