if you actually look at where the concept of modern elves comes from (tolkien), they're a vision of unfallen man. so it's just a christian story.
Yeah and then the more modern take gets really weird. I mean even the original interpretation was always a bit odd to me but racial superiority mixing in always takes it to the next level.
at least a lot of post-tolkien writers put in that elves are insufferable as a society. even when their specific elf characters were awesome.
Yeah I love seeing that. It's even seeped into Japanese light novels and it was hilarious
