OP

[(Anonymous)]

Actually Galadriel looked less made-to-be-so-perfect than Thranduil, imo. I got used to elves being perfect, sure, but Thranduil was too perfect it was just ridiculous. I think it's the makeup and Lee's perfectly swift moves during the last movie that made it seem a bit too surreal to me.

Or maybe all elves we've seen so far in the movies weren't a good demonstration of what Tolkien described them to be except for Thranduil now? Who knows.

Ah, sorry. I was referring to people in-universe finding book-Galadriel terrifying in part because of her beauty. Tolkien describes most every elf ass looking exactly like you say: "surreal, too perfect", etc. Very uncanny valley.

Eh, everyone has different ideas of how something is supposed to look. If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you.

Does Tolkien do a lot of describing of the elves' asses? Missed that bit in the books. Perhaps the XXXX hot elf section in the Silmarillion's appendices?

Pfft, sorry. Couldn't help it.

Well, another name for Celeborn is 'Teleporno'. Oh, and Gimli's grandfather was named Gróin.

So maybe there is a super secret XXX History of Middle Earth

Teleporno!

I love you, Tolkien.

movie!Thranduil is a hell of a lot closer to what Tolkien intended than any of Peter Jackson's other elves because while he is icy and cold, he's not utterly devoid of emotion like all the other elves in Peter Jackson's world (excluding Arwen and Tauriel since they're characterised as "too young to be emotionless so they're in love with a mortal and cry when they eventually realise he's going to die").

Well to be fair he's using a glamour to cover his disfigurement, so by definition that WOULD look 'perfect'.

Re: OP

[dharkapparition]

Something to keep in mind is that Thranduil's face was damaged (shown in the second movie) and glamoured to look perfect.

Re: OP

Did this happen in the books ever?

Re: OP

Nope! It's another one of PJ's additions to give more reason for why Thranduil is an obstructive bastard who won't let the dwarves continue on their quest.
