Underappreciated portrayals of elves in media? We all know about WoW/Warhammer/Tolkien/etc elves already, let's give some of the lesser-known knife ears some attention so that we might better appreciate the fullness of what Elves are and can be.
For me it has to be the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor Elves, fell in love with them as soon as I started playing Magic: the Gathering. Which was, uncoincidentally, right when Shadowmoor released. It's actually quite novel how they incorporate both halves of the Light Elf // Dark Elf dichotomy, where the "Lightness" or "Darkness" is context dependent: In Lorwyn, a world of perpetual day where everything is idyllic and low-stakes, being exclusionary and literally worshipping beauty made them the antagonists. In Shadowmoor, a world of perpetual night where everything is twisted and monstrous, being exclusionary and worshipping beauty makes them the only ones trying to keep the world from going to total shit.
