Elves should be cute, with pointy ears and large breasts; everything else is unnecessary. There shouldn't be any male elves at all.

Elves always interfere with my plans to conquer the world! In every game, they always hinder evil. Why is there such injustice?
Not always.

At least there is one game where evil kills all good and wins.
Off the top of my head, I can think of four (not counting games where you can choose a side). Which one are you talking about?

In 800 years, elves will become extinct.

Well, that's not surprising.

They already died out; only skeletons are found.

These are sprites; you're quite the elf expert.
I understand; they're sometimes referred to as elves, though it's technically incorrect.

For Anglo-Saxons, elves are forest spirits, similar to fairies.

Later, the professor mixed elves, light elves, the tribes of the goddess Danu, and his own ideas. The result is what it is.

Omega, there are also mushroom elves.

What do mythological "elves" have to do with it?

Everything originated from mythology. The first plots, the first human fantasies, the first characters – all emerged from there. Theater also began with mythology, and many writers turned to the past, to it.

But what does mythology have to do with the question of "fantasy elves" and fantasy creatures?

Well, I agree with Vissi here; mixing them is probably not a good idea. The current image of an elf is very different from the established canon, so it no longer fits. It's like arguing now that a hydra is just one creature, Medusa is one creature, and a Gorgon is not a monster but Medusa's last name (or first name?), etc. Yes, it all stems from mythology, but it's no longer relevant.

Here is a hydra. What is one unit? What are they talking about?

Personally, I like elves, but I don't like how they are portrayed in most worlds. I don't like these androgynous friends of the forest; I don't like that type. Why do I like elves? Well, I can only say that it's because of their pointed ears, eternal (or quite long) youth, and possibly their inclination towards magic.
Love for nature is good, and androgyny is bad. But I can't say that I dislike the "implementation" because the implementation can vary. For example, in Heroes of Might and Magic V, it's quite well done. I won't even mention Tolkien's classics; there, elves had a wide variety of appearances and characters because there were many elven nationalities. Accordingly, I like SOME implementations, and I don't like others.

I like the elves in Tolkien's works, in The Lord of the Rings. And I really like them in the third Diablo game. I mean, how they are drawn, and how many different types there are. And in general, I have nothing against them; I often played as them in Heroes of Might and Magic V, and I would like to see how they will be portrayed in Heroes of Might and Magic VI (and I'm sure they will be there!). I don't like it when they are portrayed as effeminate with pink noses. In reality, they are quite a cruel people.

Lots of different and good elves! But dwarves are better. :p

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I don't like the current state of the Elves. High Elves, ... Elves. The list can go on forever. Just like with dragons, you take any adjective, add "Elf," and a new race is ready! Profit!
Yes, that's a drawback. But you still forgot about the Jellys; you can't do without them!

Here are jelly elves – a truly great implementation! Create a mafia game about jelly elves!

Although, I like the implementations in TES, FR (some of them), Warcraft, and DA. Dungeon Lords also has a good implementation, although it's a bit niche.

Yes, I have written about TES many times. Dark elves with gray skin and red eyes... Well, I can still understand the gray skin in relation to underground dwellers (which, by the way, the Dark Elves in TES are not, if I understand correctly). But the red eyes are a nightmare. High elves – I apologize, but I can’t accept that either. Okay, let's forget about their fascism, although the creators clearly went too far with that, but the fact that they all have jaundice and eunuchoidism, I can't ignore. Forest elves with brown skin (or maybe it's fur) – that's also something.
