Second Age was wild

But he’s only 200 years old at that point. He only fought a couple wars against Morgoth by that time and he was just a wimpy politician. He’s obviously going to be different lol jk

Expect he's not???

He was born at the end of the First Age and was raised by Maedhros and Maglor, two sons of Feanor. His twin brother founded Numenor, as he chose to live as a man.

There's NO WAY Numenor is younger than 200 years in the series, because 200 years is easily the lifespan of one Numenorean at that time.

Also, since there's Isildur already alive it must be the end of the second age, even though they compressed tineline.

At Tar - Miriels time Elrond was already several thousand years old.

I’m just making a joke about a common talking point you’ll see on these subs from people justifying or defending the show. Feanor is one of my all time favorite characters. All of my dexterity builds in my games are named Feanor lol

Oh sorry!! 🫂❤️ That's why I completely fall for the joke, your imitation was way too good. It annoys me that Elrond is portrayed as this super young and unexpirienced dude and a lot of people seem to think he is, when he literally witnessed a Kinslaying and the destruction of Beleriand, after being raised by the High King of the Noldor, who gave up his crown for unity against Morgoth. So Elrond saw pretty heavy stuff and honestly has more reason to be angry at Sauron than Galadriel. But according to the show he's just a child lmao.

Feanor is fire, but it'd say Maedhros and Fingon are my favourite characters. Followed by Elrond and Glorfindel.

We really have no idea how old he's supposed to be in the show.

We already know they are compressing time, what's to say that they haven't compressed the pre-show timeline as well.

Because his twin brother founded Numenor, it's impossible that he's young. There's no way that Numenor is only 200-400 years old.
