Are we ready for a little Elrond ...criticism?
I don't consider it bashing. Elrond had every reason to be pissed, since the intervening 3000 years could have been a golden age for both humans and elves.
You'd think that in 3000 years Elrond would have learned the wisdom of accepting people the way they are with their weaknesses as well as their strengths. After all, there's nothing he can do to change human nature. So the movie Elrond has doomed himself to a lifetime of being pissed. I guess Elrond must be pissed at Illuvatar for making men that way and for giving them a free will.
Would that make Elrond a Calvinist?
Ooops. Sorry. Wrong thread...
