Know many real elves do youJust been laughing at the clip showing "Galadriel" slowly turning round trying to look like a badass warrior princess, she doesn't have it at all, she doesn't convince as a warrior or even look anything like an elf!
She looks like a primary school teacher doing a cosplay.
How can they get this so wrong? They had a perfect representation of an older Galadriel to work from, and we get this? I mean to not even look like an elf?
I've seen that clip linked on another forum, thought I was watching some cheap chinese knockoff, did make me laugh a little.The Jet-Li inspired Galadriel looks amazing, really true to the spirit of Tolkien.
pretty sure there were a couple of ropey cgi moments involving Legolas in the original trilogy that didn't look a lot less silly than the above clip.If this is a taste of what's to come it is going to be hilarious in parts! "Respecting Tolkien" LMAO.

That slide down the Oliphaunts trunk springs to mind.
Yeah, return of the king with Legolas and the oliphaunts was pretty ropey, mind you it was done as reshoots after audiences loved shield boarding Legolas in 2 towers.
Using your own logic why are lotr movie elves different from Santa'sI don't think anyone knows any real elves, do you?
Are you trying to say that unless something actually exists in real life, you can't picture how it should look in a fantasy?
You know what santa looks like right? but he's not real, and you know what he looks like, neither are Dragons, but you know what a dragon looks like right?
I'm not sure you've got a handle on how reality and fantasy co-exist, and that things that aren't real, do have an established look - like Santa and like Dragons.
I'm not sure this whole fantasy genre is for you tbh.
Santa elves have evolved over the course of the retelling of the myths. Tolkien elves have literal descriptions by the creator, not hard to understand is it?Using your own logic why are lotr movie elves different from Santa's
Forgive my ignorance but could you provide the literal descriptions, ta

Ah, so you don't know yourself, then how do you know own they described as such

'but it should be noted that there are no explicit references to pointed Elvish ears', why in the films do they pointy ears

'no less than six and a half feet for elfmen',
but Orlando Bloom is not even six foot
Is Crow from Hawk the Slayer a passable Elf or not
This is almost as if people can have different interpretations of how elves look
So it's OK for the films to be inaccurate but not this series
Why is this series depiction of an Elf so abhorrent?Good luck finding a 6 and a half foot tall slender, graceful actor to play an elf. I'd wager there's no such thing. Slight difference taking some artistic license because the thing that's described doesn't exist and what Amazon have done.So it's OK for the films to be inaccurate but not this series
We are not on about the little people, this is all Elf.
No it was from the The Lost Road and Other Writings, after his death. Again, what's your point here?
