Elves are an inherently scandinavian/germanic concept and like most cultures, probably reflect or resemble a certain type of demographic those cultures were familiar with.
The Ljósálfar of Alfheim are what fantasy elves are based on, and would likely be the pale and thin people living in the northern regions, with the Dökkálfar (Dark Elves) being the opposite, so either representing swarthy people in those regions or potentially referencing dark-skinned humans from the south in the Middle East or Africa. With "Dark Elves" its a bit weird since fantasy Dwarves are traditionally the main interpretation of what Dark Elves are, the modern fantasy idea of Dark Elves being an alternate interpretation.
So, if you wanted to be perfectly faithful, you would only cast Elves as the kind of ghoulish looking scandinavians that resemble pic attached, who live in regions so starved of sunlight they look almost albino.
Your little sister or wife gets a slight tan playing outside one afternoon. She has tan lines for a few weeks. No one thinks any different, and we all know it will fade with time.
Then there are perverts that go to tanning salons and wear their bikinis just right to get a tan that will turn NPC porn addicts like you on. >"oh fuck I thought she was dark skinned. Look at that white soft flesh under her underwear. Oh fuck!"
You may not say this, but your mind thinks about it subconsciously. In other words, you're a degenerate. You don't even know what the word "fetish" means?

They had to do this so the chinese bug hordes liked the movie and went to see it. And it worked, cause they did, and China single handedly made bank for this movie.
IF they ever make a sequel, fully expect half the cast to be asian and to see at least 1 or 2 pandaren running around, too.
Video games are forgettable commodities. Myths last eons. >So, if you wanted to be perfectly faithful, you would only cast Elves as the kind of ghoulish looking scandinavians that resemble pic attached, who live in regions so starved of sunlight they look almost albino. I agree with this. However, these people are not albino, nor all they all this blonde. Some individual's hair becomes darker as they mature. You'll see this in most men. However, Elves are a Germanic myth, so they would not be all this blonde.
