Yes lol whenever I watch the movies of lotr I always think of how Elrond pretended the Silmarils never existed. It is also ironic that in The Hobbitbard asks Thranduil if he would go to war over a handful of gems, and Thranduil sounds exactly like Feanor when he says "The heirlooms of my people are not lightly forsaken"
Tyelko: so, Eru said let there be light. So there was light
And then he found Beleg just chilling in a corner
Beleg: I'm not that old!
Tyelko: You're right. You are not old. You're ancient.
I actually think Elrond did not push Isildur because he knew it would cause a war between elves and men that potentially could cause a lot of damage, possibly as much as Sauron would've before he was destroyed by Frodo, Sam and Gollum.
