Nah, the whole The Hobbit story was just a major disrespect to the silvans as a whole, bc at first the white council more or less ignores the return of sauron for like 2000 years, only for gandalf to help thorin reclaim the mountaim becaus gandalf knows it would have major strategic value if the dark side claims it.

And the proceeds to just not tell Thranduil, the elf who’s been holding back the darkness alongside his people for millenia, about it at all. Like he literally points the dwarves into Mirkwood and goes off to get the rest of the white council in order to banish the necromancer from it’s woods (and that might’ve unleashed who knows what) all without informing Thranduil.

It’s like they view Thranduil’s title as king as an elfling playing dress up or something, there’s absolutely no regard or respect for him as the ruler of the forest.

Like, imagine how much simpler it might’ve been if the white council actually went “you know, maybe we should let the guy who’s been warning us about sauron for millennia know that we intend to finally do something about it”.
