And the same can be said for Tar-Miriel and Celebrian, depending on one's viewpoint. They're all fictional and, frankly, none of them are the most deeply drawn characters, so most of what we think of them comes from our own preconceived notions about what makes a preferable Survivor champ. It's all about what tinted glasses you're wearing. None of this is concrete, like little old ladies and children, it's all subjective conjecture and imagination. Personally I am not voting for Celebrimbor because he leaves the least to the imagination. That's my prefered shade of glasses: that the character who I can best make up my own pleasant fantasy about gets my vote. Such is the world of fiction and games compared to the real one.
