What, do you expect people on a Hobbit fan forum to like the LOTR films or something silly like that? Razz

Why do they assume all elves look under 30? Mad

why would they look older?

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Aug 13, 2011 4:44 am

Tolkien says they age slowly even they do not die, but not that they all stop at under 30 in appearance. After all by that reasoning why continue ageing at all after puberty has passed? Why 30? Why not 20? Why not 40?

by Lorient Avandi Sat Aug 13, 2011 4:48 am

i think because they want them to look as good as possible. that is usually in the 20's and 30's

No, i said "as good as possible" that means that people over thirty can look good, but they just look best 18-35

YOUR DIGGING A BIGGER HOLE Laughing

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:09 am

And so they should cast older elves too.
Look best!! Do I need to start posting examples! I mean how old is Cate Blanchett?

edit add- according to wiki she is 42. HAH!

by Lorient Avandi Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:15 am

and if you think she looks good then sorry. i personally dont.

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:18 am

The point being she is Galadriel and is 42, Hugo Weaving is in his 50's and is Elrond- so why restrict the casting of every other elf to under 30? Why would just these two elves age visibly to a point up to 20 years in excess of every other elf in the PJ universe. Its ageist is what it is.

by Lorient Avandi Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:32 am

celeborn was in late when he was filmed, and Cate would have been 31 when she was first filmed as galadriel, and hugo would have been in his 40s, you have to remember that that was 10 years ago.

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:36 am

Yeah but they are both in TH- now.

by Lorient Avandi Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:39 am

thats only for consistency. it would be wierd if they looked completely different

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:41 am

So its ok to have all your lead elves over 30 (anyone know the age of whoever is playing Thranduil in this?) but when you cast for general elves they all have to be under 30- that makes no sense- if PJ is trying to say because they are immortal they all look young that is rather undermined by his leading characters is it not?

by Lorient Avandi Sat Aug 13, 2011 6:01 am

thranduil's 32.
