Now, sir Troll, when you say that Elves can be weird sometimes, do you have very much Book related info to back that up, or are you working from strickly move-based knowledge? I ask this because, if you are speaking from your opinions of movie-Galadriel, movie-Elrond, movie-Haldir, and yes even movie-Legolas, you do not have a very good base of knowledge, as they are pseudocharacters developed by our good friends Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Phillipa Boyens. However, I'm guessing that you have at least read the Hobbit, and that would be a good base for elf criticism, since Bilbo has scant encounters with elves on his first journey, and the fact that they sing to him from trees is just a tad on the strange side. To cease my crazy spurt of suppositions, I'm just going to come out and ask, What books have you read?
