I'm primarily a fan of the books and read the books long before the movies, definitely love the books more, but tbh I thought movie Elrond was more interesting and...how do I say...more tangible, had a more distinct shape, I guess? than book Elrond, at least given how the story had to be adapted to the screen (a movie cannot involve a narrated appendix entry after the fact.) I liked Elrond a lot in the book but if they had been totally faithful to the book while adapting him to the screen he would have been boring and forgettable as shit and I think the movie version was wonderfully memorable and distinctive even if it wasn't totally faithful. Faithfulness is a really overrated and fairly useless quality all by itself.

Who said anything about being faithful to the book? Because I didn't. I don't need faithfulness, so your holier-than-thou lecture is misplaced. There's no such thing as one way to adapt a book into a movie. What they made isn't inherently the only way to do it or even the best way to do it. Elrond in the films was shitty and uninteresting.

Okay, for you, but obviously not to the AYRT (or to me for that matter; I also enjoyed Weaving. For me he had gravitas.)

What "holier than thou" attitude? Gosh, you are touchy.
