I just want to know, does anyone else think Elrond comes off as an incredibly arrogant jerk in the movie? He doesn't like the dwarves, and his comments on men just stunned me. Elrond seems to hold all other races in contempt, and while the council was supposed to be a debate between the free...
In "The Encyclopedia of Arda", http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default.htm, under Elrond, it says that he was given Vilya by Gil-Galad just after founding Rivendell. This was when Tar-Minyataur had defeated Sauron and brought him back to Numenor. I thought Elrond obtained Vilya after Gil-Galad was...
I was just wondering if anyone knew because he was at Rivendell at the time and was a high elf respected among the noldor so why wouldn't he be invited? If anyone knows if Jackson put glorfindel int he movie please speak
A thought just occured to me, I noticed when I was reading the book a while back, and it was mentioned in the movie about a specific time period and the ring..When Elrond was telling about the last stand of Men and Elves. He says he was thee 3000 years ago, and that he lead Isildur up into...
does anyone think that maybe those last words stuck in Balin's mind? Maybe thats what made him decide to try to reinhabit Moria even against all that danger. And if so, can Elrond be blamed for doing it, I mean, he knows that dwarves love treasure and that Moria was more or less the Capital of...
I was curious the other day, so I calculated what percent Elvish and Human Elros and Elrond where before they chose their races.
I don't know why anyone would want to know, but they were 5/8 elf and 3/8 man.
When I first saw pictures of Hugo Weaving and heard that he was to portray Elrond Half-Elven Lord of Rivendell, I was pretty dissapointed. I thought he was not at all good for the part. However, when I actually saw him in the film, I found that he was perfect afterall. How many people had...
Much has been said of the decisions made at the council of Elrond as to those who were to make up the Fellowship of the Ring. However, there was only TWO persons selected at this Great and Wonderous Event. Frodo to carry the Ring and Sam to accompany him. Basicaly it was nothing more than a...
Ok then... What about Elrond. Was he a healer by nature as Luthien did heal too. Or was his healing powers from his Ring which was the healing ring. Or did it just increase his powers. Or maybe it was given to him because of his allready existing healing skills. There is no mention about Elrond...
I just finished reading the council of Elrond, and I found that rather boring. That is the first boring chapter in the Fellowship of the Ring. I was just wondering if anyone else found this kinda boring. I mean it gave a lot of good information, maybe because it was too long had something to...
Alright folks. We were challenged by Courtney to come up with a screenplay for a scene if we didn't like the way PJ did it...So here is the Council of Elrond that I have done. This screenplay is an insertion in place of Jackson’s council, still part of the movie and taking into account Jackson’s...
