    Aren’t the elves from The Hobbit also a different group? It could just be that they are frolicking weirdos compared to Elrond’s and Galadriel’s elves.

      The playful, drunk elves of the Hobbit were wood elves; the stuffy ones were high elves

      I think PJ made them a bit too up themselves

      (Too stuck up, too snooty, too like the ideal British noble)

        I think they’re referring to the Wood Elves they encounter on their way through Mirkwood.
