I would dispute that. Anyone who's played Perfect knows that Perfect is boring as all hell, and the idea of Elves as perfect is a rather flawed one. They aren't perfect in Tolkien, that's for damn sure. Evil, selfish, cruel Elves abound in Middle-Earth. They appear perfect in LotR because their major representatives are the two most noble members of their race - Elrond and Galadriel. Legolas comes across as an arrogant, racist dick who through the course of the story has his rough edges - edges placed there by his father's dickish nature - worn away.
