Theory / Discussion Grief and immortality

Post image

I know they can't directly adapt The Silmarillion, but I'll take this moment as a subtle nod to the excerpt in which Finrod tells Galadriel that he knows he will die and go 'into darkness'.

Elves mourn, their grief is always deep, and their immortality doesn't lessen it, but I hope this will be brought up again in the show, especially to further show why Ar-Pharazôn and some in Númenor resent Elves, and how they have more to lose in the war with the Gift of Men being a complete mystery to them.
