Or make them totally "Dark Elves" and think it interesting. Silly! Otherwise, I agree that though Tolkien succeeded in bringing the new image of Elves instead of Fairies, they in time developed in the "braque fantasy" (just love to call it like that) in a race of tall, bow-wielding... well... movie-Legolases... or movie-Haldirs, for that matter... so if I ever were to encounter Elves in yet another story, I'd like to see them different... totally different.
