I liked Thranduil. His forest realm seems cool, like even though it was dangerous in Mirkwood they'd throw parties in the woods. And when I consider it he seems to me to have inclinations similar to the Noldor who left Aman with his love of riches. I don't know that Thranduil wields the power that some of the other princes of the Elves do, both innate and according to the military and political prowess of his kingdom, but he seems like a descent ruler and his people had no problem drinking and being merry.
