I honestly think they are cool as [censored]. I've heard my share of bad publicity about the Thalmor, their boycott of Talos worship, their SUPER smug attitudes, the fact that ALL Thalmor are High elves, the fact they are elves in general...
Heck, even when I heard about Thalmor purging their own provinces my stomach turned a little.
Once I read a book on the Great War, I had mad respect for them. Taking power into their own hands from the empire, then usurping provinces from the Empire and then one day showing up and saying,"Hey guys, you need to do this, this and oh yeah, this too or we will wage war against you."
The empire didn't take them seriously and look what happened, the Imperial City got sacked and the empire was nearly destroyed.
Don't get me wrong, the Empire has alot of my respect too, I mean look at them! They retook the Imperial City a year later when the Elves thought they were completely wiped out.
So in the end, they have as much respect as the empire does from my perspective.
