Thranduil and the Mirkwood elves? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

We must bear in mind that the names given to the 'races' of elves ragarded whether or not (or how far along they got on) they journeyed to The Blessed Realm. Physical traits were indeed similar between say one silvan and another, but not always you were an Elf depending on how far you got on the Journey. Elves are Elves, the similarities you speak of Sillabub (if you are going by in the films) were casting (not errors but something close) mistakes. (?) I do not know if attention was paid to the difference to detail when dealing with elvenkind's differences, remember the films have to appeal to all, not just to us anally retarded yet devoted tolkien fans [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
