Elves?

[Taurquende]

I was wondering today while I was reading the Hobbit what they are going to do about the elves? Because they act so much differently in the Hobbit than they do in LotR, especially in Rivendell. Do you think they might just go against the book and keep them serious or are they going to follow the book and have them happy and jolly?

[Arien Elensar]

I hope they stick to the book because I would love to see happy elves.

[Herenya]

I think they'll sort of merge the two. Like, they'll look like from LOTR, but they might act slightly differently. And if the settings are still Elvish, it'll work.

[Arien Elensar]

I agree Herenya. I'm sure the settings of the Shire and Rivendell will be the same, they have to be. and The elves will be sort of a mix.

[Tamuril]

i'v never read the books so i couln't say lol

[Arien Elensar]

It's okay. Btw, that strip with all the characters on it, may I please use it antoher forum.

[Lady Undomiel]

Oh my God you're reading my mind... I was thinking the same while reading the Hobbit and I agree with you...

[Arien Elensar]

lol. We think alike.

[aragornspal]

I think the elves should be happy because the Hobbit is, in reality, a funny movie, and I would love to see the elves have a laugh. Wouldn't you?

[Taurquende]

That's true, there weren't very many happy elves in LotR, but then again it was a time of evil.

It's hard to imagine the elves from LotR singing this:

O! What are you doing,
And where are you going?
You ponies need shoeing!
The river is flowing!
O! Tra-la-la-lally!
here down in the valley!

O! Where are you going
With beards all a-wagging?
No knowing, no knowing
What brings Mister Baggins
And Balin and Dwalin
down to the valley
in June.
ha-ha!

O! Will you be staying,
Or will you be flying?
You ponies are straying!
The daylight is dying!
To fly would be folly,
To stay would be jolly
And listen and hark
Till the end of dark
to our tune.
ha-ha!

That's kind of a weird picture to me! From LotR you'd expect them to sing some flowing, soft song in elvish!

[Arien Elensar]

lol! That would be funny Taurquende. I agree they should be happier.

[Rose of Melian]

I hope they're happy. It's said that elves throw the best parties (lol)

[Arien Elensar]

Yeah. On midsummers eve!

[goldelf]

i reckon the elves should be happy cause in lotr they are mostly sad cause their time in middle earth is ending.

[Serethiel]

PJ will probably try to find a way between... but because of the serious nature of his elves in LOTR I don't think he would want to ruin that image that so many people love- so I think we can count out the drunken elf in Thranduil's wine cellar.
