Anyone else bothered by all the blond elves in the LotR movie?

[Agback]

Fingolfin was also blonde. His mother was a Vanya.

His mother was a vanya, right enough. But can you cite a statement by Tolkien that Fingolfin himself was blond?

Not every son of a blonde is blond, and 'The Silmarillion' does say that the House of Finarfin "alone among the princes of the Noldor" were blond.

Regards,


Agback

Perhaps if you read the rest of the thread, you'll see this was already resolved.

Y'know, it's ironic. Over at the Middle Earth d20 conversion site we haven't seen much in the way of submissions for a while now, and our NPC contest has yet to receive a single entry, yet there can be a vigorous thread here over the hair color of Tolkien's elves. C'mon, folks, spend some of this energy on bringing your interpretation of Tolkien to the d20 community! We welcome new material! If you want to write an essay about what the elves looked like, with citations of the text - please send it to us!

Hey, I just checked, and we finally received an entry in the Middle Earth d20 NPC contest! Woohoo!

Again, I just want to say that the site survives on contributions. If any of you get the hankerin,' toss some stuff our way. Nothing on it is supposed to be the definitive versions of anything; you'll note there are varying and often conflicting treatments of the same things. That's what we like - a variety of material for a variety of tastes.
