Re: Worst character interpretation you've ever seen?

Yeah, the problem is you expect Thranduil and Denethor to be bad because they were, to a degree, in canon. Elrond? He was good. Maybe the first Hobbit movie made him a bit of an ass for not catering to the dwarves well, but that doesn't make him bad, just makes a supposedly wise Elf not so wise.

Can you tell that I mostly like Elrond?

I would think Evil!Elrond comes out more from the LOTR movies where he lies to Arwen and gets in the way of Arwen/Aragorn.

I actually thought Elrond in the Hobbit movies was perfectly reasonable and patient. Thorin insults him; he can tell Gandalf is up to something; the dwarves break his furniture and set in on fire. In the EE, they bathe naked in his fountain and start a food fight.

Yet he still helps them. (He even lets Thorin keep a sword that may have been his grandfather's.) I don't think expressing a reasonable concern about Thorin's mental state made him bad either. And, of course, in the book he just straight-out helps them with advice, ponies, and even Bilbo's handkerchief.

(Totally agree on liking Elrond best!)

Ahh yeah, when you point out Arwen, I see where it might come from. I suppose the reason why that side doesn't occur to me is because I was off in the slash section of fandom in my LotR days, so Arwen/Aragorn was, at best, a background pairing. Even now it remains a background pairing but is even more a part of the canon furniture as Aragorn is no longer on my shipping list at all (back in my first still in the fandom Aragorn was half the first pairing I shipped).

These days I may play with the subject of Elrond's demands about Aragorn marrying his daughter, but I veer more towards book canon, in that he will only allow it if Aragorn becomes king of Gondor (and because one of my main characters is Boromir, that is not exactly a favourable result in his eyes).
