<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The elves do only care about themselfs <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>That is not true, for too many reasons to list here on this thread. Suffice to say three things:<P>1) Rivendell's aid, Lorien's aid, Galadriel's gifts, Legolas, Gildor, Glorfindel, Elladan, Elrohir. They all helped.<P>2) The elves used to fight side by side with men. Ever heard of The Last Alliance? Gil-Galad and Elendil dying together - so sad.<P>3) It is now the time of men - not elves, their time in ME is past. That is the whole point.<P>Elves at Helm's Deep? I support the other statements regarding time and audience constraints, I hope that is why and I like to believe PJ put that much thought into it, honoring the battles North and East. It didn't impress me like the Prologue did, but they were impressive nonetheless.
