Pointy ears, lacking emotion, I think it checks out.
Sings songs about Bilbo Baggins.
I had completely forgotten about that. Lol
WHAT?
Ooh! Are you one of today’s lucky 10,000?!

Spock is a half elf, his mom is human
He is a space-elf fur sure
Mr. Spock is Aeldari, that’s why he can do the Vulcan mind meld, he’s warp sensitive.
Missed the obvious “My mind to your mind” for the second line of the banner.
Had a friend who was in denial that Vulcans were basically space elves, Klingon space orcs and ferengi basically space goblins.
Ah, I was under another impression since it seemed like the 70s were all the rage for LotR. I blame D&D gaining popularity, my college even named a dorm for Middle Earth in the 70s lol

Therefor not an elf.
Welcome to Film Theory
This raises a question in my mind. Didn’t Star Trek predate the Tolken definition of elf? Was there a fantasy setting definition prior to both that wasn’t like … Santa elves or some shit?
The Hobbit was released in 1937, and The Lord of The Rings in 1954 Star Trek was released in 1966, and the original pitch was written in 1964.
LotR was released a decade before Roddenberry even put pen to paper the first time regarding Trek.
