I really dislike the short-haired elves in the Rings of power. They just don't feel very elvish or tolkien. They remind me of pictures from behind the scenes of the Hobbit where the elves are trying on their costumes or are practicing for a scene. They feel unfinised. Like they all forgot to put on their wigs.
I found this scene really weird and forced. If she knew Elros and apparently is Elrond's best friend, shouldn't she be nicer to their descendants. Also if she had mentioned it earlier, then maybe she would have had an easier time in Nùmenor. But what bother me the most about this scene is this painting. It looks like someone painted everything else except for Elronds head, and then someone different came in later and did his head in a completely different style. His head looks so realistic compared to the rest of the painting. Like someone photo-shopped his head on an old picture and used a filter or something.
Also aren't they suppose to be identical twins. I can't find anything similar about them. Their eyes, their headshape, their nose, their eyebrows, even their ears are different. I mean Elros looks more like Thorin's long lost twin. Maybe if you squint really hard, but something is just really weird about this painting.
The only great thing about this painting is that the elves have long hair, :)

For very boring council meetings.
Whoever made the costumes for Rings of Power sure do like weird looking gold and pearls. The second age were aparently not the age of jewelry making. (unless you are Celebrimbor and Sauron).
Really does make you miss and apreciate the Peter Jackson movies costume department a lot more. They did a great job making it so that each of the different races and peoples had their own characteritic design, style and culture. Separating them from each other.
The costumes in Rings of power looks like they all were designed by the same designer. There's not much that separate the different races. Only the Silvan elves weird wooden armor stands out, but once this is gone, you can't really differentiate between the humans and the elves.
Finrod blep. :p

The elves leaving Valinor:
Me and my sister was talking about Rings of power ep1, and I said something about how the elves left Valinor like a bunch of hattifatners in all their tiny boats. She loved it and said I had to make a comparison, so here it is. Please enjoy.
Even the pictures of the elves traveling back to Valinor fits the descripton.
