Everyone who is complaining about most of the characters looking old, it’s because they were! All of the dwarves were around 100-200 years old, bilbo Baggins was in his 50s in the book, Gandalf is old, Thranduil is old. You may not like the designs of the wood elves, but it really doesn’t take away from the story that much. Bard the human who shot Smaug with the arrow looked normal because he was in his 40s and didn’t show signs of aging. Anybody who is complaining about the characters having wrinkles doesn’t know much about the story obviously
