Hello guys, Yesterday I asked myself how the lotr community pictures the elves in the lotr. If you think of elves, what picture do you have in mind? Is it more like the elves in the movies with long robes, the typical elven ears and elaborately ornamaneted plate armour or is it more like the picture Tolkien had of his elves? For does who don't know: Tolkien invented his elves as people dresses in trousers, shirts and light shoes. They has normal eares and they wore chain mail when it came to a battle.
I personally feel bad for it but my picture of the elves is mainly based on the way more popular picture of the elves like the films showed it. I think that's because Tolkien always introduces them as magical beeings who are somehow supernatural abd his picture of the elves is just to menish.... It would be nice to hear some opinions!

P.s. the mod also supports the picture of the movies for those who wonder...
