#at least we got the shipwright and the ancient un-fallen elves in the West probably have beards too

Despite its flaws, there has never been a more beautiful and faithful adaptation of Tolkien's work
#the hobbit#lotr#the hobbit 1977#rankin-bass#the sheer fact that they incorporated THE SONGS#the joy and relief of arriving at rivendell to a chorus of elfsong is unparalelled#and bearded elrond with a crown of stars is GOAT#i love the idea of him retaining a beard as half elven#....though in all honesty i think having become spiritually full elf his physiology wouldve followed suit#as the elven form is defined by a half spiritual body... his physiology would've had to have changed alongside his spirit#aragorn retained a strong spiritual form as well due to his elven blood... but as man did not have the full simulatenous conscious presence#and tolkien’s theology certainly wasnt dualist despite depiction of tangible spirituality... it was more ’multidimensional’ than individual#so i think elrond's material form must've aligned to elven biology as well to posess such a spiritual nature... meaning no beard :(#but we can dream cant we#at least we got the shipwright and the ancient un-fallen elves in the West probably have beards too#they'll give elrond one when he gets there
