Gotta love a guy who sets his daughter's bridal price as "Save the world by defeating the last great evil on Earth in war, reclaim your long vacant throne, and restore honor of my brother's household" before giving his blessing. But Aragorn pulls through.

Elrond exemplifies everything it is to be an elf - he lost his father, mother, brother and daughter. Never to see them again and yet he endured. After Finrod, he has been the greatest Elven teacher to men. He fought, and he healed.<br>He submitted to Gil-Galad's reign despite being a descendant of a Maiar. And when he created his own 'realm', it was not one of strength and fortitude but of peace and hospitality.

Unfortunately, due to his immortality, Elrond would go insane and lead the forces of Hydra in ww2 after a botched super soldier experiment. His whereabouts are unknown, but it's speculated that he was spotted leading people to a treasure he could not possess.

I can imagine situation, when Elrond teachs his sons history of Middle-Earth: "Do you see that bright star near horizon? That's my father." <b>Deadly serious</b>

I love Elrond. He's that rare Elf who understood and lived with the weight of love and sacrifice. Every choice he made honored his family and his kin. I've always imagined that like his father, he eventually meets Manwe. And that Manwe would embrace him and say, "My son, you have done well. You make us proud!"

I find it so beautiful how Elrond was raised by someone who wasn't biologically related to him and later on raised someone who wasn't biologically related to him.

The comments section of these videos demonstrates the scope and power of Tolkien's creation. We talk about these characters and stories as if they were authentic historical facts. It's both funny and endearing.

You can't tell me Elrond don't have Abandonment issues. Father often absent cause Earendil was looking for Valinor. Elwing has Sirion to rule. Foster Fathers disappeared, one dead, the other singing until the ends of the world. A brother choosing mortality, Gil Galad burnt inside out, Celebrian tortured and left. Then his daughter chose mortality again. The dude life story is enough to have a series of his own.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=623izLLd3eI&t=214">3:34</a> I always feel a wave of sadness when I see that drawing of the two brothers. One now mortal and soon to die, while the other immortal now to lose his twin forever. Another pain for Elrond to endure as with the passing of his own daughter.

I love how every time the elves look like they're going to be destroyed -- Unnumbered Tears, Elrond at Eregion, etc -- the dwarves show up, save them, and then just go home lol.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=623izLLd3eI&t=460">7:40</a> one important detail here was Isildur was going to ask Elrond for council about what to do with the ring on his way back north. After possessing it for awhile and not being able to bend it to his will he knew he had to do something. He could tell the ring was more like to slowly have an effect on him than the other way around. So unlike the movies he came to the right conclusion eventually but never got to see it through.
