Just for curiosity, here are some statistics about the Elves.

I voted for "I have a very good opinion of elves; they are one of the most interesting fantasy races." I like elves in their canonical form. In Tolkien's works (the progenitor of all modern elves), in the worlds of M&M, in the worlds of D&D, and so on, they are portrayed that way. In Warcraft, it's a complex mix; I like the portrayal of elves in the strategy games, especially the second one, and the third is also good. But the image of blood elves that has developed thanks to Blizzard's efforts, I don't like. And in general, I don't like the visual design in WoW, neither the blood elves nor the night elves. Although, according to the lore, both blood elves and night elves in WoW are still the same, but the image ruins everything. In Dragon Age, the elves are also good; yes, it's unusual to see them like that, but it still looks good. And in most other worlds, it's also great. What slightly bothers me is that 90% of them follow Tolkien's LotR trope, that the elven race is already in decline, and soon they will all have to leave somewhere, or they will all die soon. Can't elves be different? Yes, they can; take the Silmarillion, for example – it's still the same elves, just without the pensive, misty gaze towards the horizon and without sighs about past glory. They are somewhat like that in Warcraft, but only somewhat. And in Dark Sun, everyone will soon meet their end.
