He's hot and he has spunk! lol

 

[Kookaburra]

and he acts and looks like a girl!

 

[paulewog]

/me thinks Legolas is pretty cool, but can't stand people that think he's so cute an dall that stupid stuff

/me thinks Eowyn, on the other hand, is very cute

/me thinks Eowyn is better than Arwen... Arwen gets annoying...

/me thinks Gimili is cool

 

[CJF]

*Ahem* Legolas does not act like a girl. He does not look like a girl either. Just had to correct you there Kookaburra.

Tolkien made the following comment in response to seeing a picture portraying Legolas with feminine qualities:

"He is tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a great war-bow and shoot....endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish
bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over
rock or through snow, the most tireless of all the fellowship."

Legolas is awesome with a bow and arrow. That's what I like about him.

 

[paulewog]

me too, I love bows

I think elves just "seem feminine" in general because of their somewhat feline characteristics - reflexes, speed, dexterity, etc - and also because of how they look: long blonde hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, white skin, tall, slender, and graceful.

 

[Kookaburra]

You *might* be right.

 

[paulewog]

might?

 

[Vixen Evenstar]

Well....what i want to know...is if Legolas is so much like a girl..how come he has half million girls worshiping the ground he walks on........I think Legolas is totally cool.....i love how he wips out those arrows and shoots with lightning speed! However.....Frodo...is the cutest thing! Mmmmm...those eyes..

Eowyn bugged me......i want a face off between Eowyn and Arwen! The elf against the sheild maiden!

 

[AngelAmidala]

hehe....my sister and I made up the following interpretation of "The Breaking of the Fellowship" as we were driving to a family party tonight...

The Breaking of the Fellowship....

WLAH! Boromir's dead!

Go Frodo and Sam! Take the ring to Mordor!

Ack!! Merry and Pippin are captured!

Run Gimli! Run Aragorn! Run Legolas!

 

[oncewaslost]

i like your interpretation.

 

[Ioustinos]

I thought that LOTR: The Two Towers was awesome! I can't wait until the release of the Return of the King!

I own the LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring widescreen 2 disc set but I just recently ordered the 4 disc Collector's Edition!

Oh and by the way, Aragorn is the best


/me goes back to playing the LOTR: The Two Towers PS2 video game

 

[AngelAmidala]

Okay...I got a question. About the first movie...so I won't have to put any spoiler space.

I've watched the scene like a hundred times and I still can't figure out what he's saying.

When the Fellowship is in Moria, and they're all about to be attacked by the Orcs Boromir goes to the door and gets shot at by the arrows and then closes the door. Before Legolas starts throwing things for him and Aragorn to try to keep the door closed...he (Boromir) says something.

What does he say?

 

[zyzychyn]

"They've got a cave troll"

 

[AngelAmidala]

Ahhhhh......thank you!!!!

 

[zyzychyn]

I liked Fellowship better than Towers... cuz they didn't change as much and I didn't like Tom Bombadil all that much anyway...

Oh yeah, did I mention that Legolas looks like a girl? He IS a really cool fighter though. He just... looks like a girl. (don't kill me, legolas fans!)

Edit, did I mention I like my new avatar better than the old one?

 

[paulewog]

Elves DO look girlish. I mentioned this in another thread

The Fellowship was a bit closer to the book, yes, but I did like Tom Bombadil.

 

[Blessed-one]

/me finally saw the movie today!

hey, i thought Aragorn's supposed to go through the dangerous valley and bring back a mighty army? did i read that wrong or didn't they put it in the movie?

 

[zyzychyn]

That's in return of the king... and it had BETTER make it into the next movie... *shakes head* I don't know how they're going to fit all this in... something's going to go... *sigh*
