True enough, but on a feat by feat basis, even though Hawkeye only has one film in which he gets to show off, the stuff he does is insane and I know Legolas would have a hard time replicating any of it.
Did nobody else notice the freaking AIMING LASER Hawkeye had? I mean seriously, he isn't as great a shot as hes being made out to be here. Sure, he pulled some great shots, but when the guy is using a laser guided arrow system or something like that, I don't think it stands up to a Legolas showing.
You can see the gleam from the laser in multiple scenes, and it is on the bow just above where the arrows rest.
Barton's super-human accuracy advantage isn't a sure win here, as Legolas never missed his targets either. So they both can kill each other with arrows.
Legolas does have the speed advantage, he was firing arrows in a row faster and he's far more agile, iirc.
Legolas wins the majority of the time, imo.
Also, when I saw LOTR: Two Towers, there was a row of about 11-13 girls in the 14-16 age range in the theater; they all sighed and creamed their pants everything Legolas showed his face; this didn't happen with Barton. So that has to count for something.
I'm fairly sure he used it, both when aiming at the hellcarrier but also when he was aiming at Loki, but I can't (because I'm interested in paying another ticket) check it, I'm just fairly certain that he used it atleast those two times.
I'm aware of that, I'm merely pointing out that the bow at Barton's disposal >>> the bow Legolas has at his disposal, and with all respect for Barton's abilities that bow played a factor, atleast I don't see him making those shots with a woodbow as easily, but that is probably just me.
