Something I've noticed that I haven't seen others talk about very much is this
The armour elrond wears in the hobbit is the base for the armour he wears in the war of the last alliance.
And it's not cause its his only suit of armour because in the first hobbit film we see him wearing this suit
He really went and pulled out the fancy armour to go rescue gandalf.
