And he only killed that stupid stupid stupid poor Oliphant in the film so that the fans had some verbal weapon against non-orli-fans.
They really should have cut his damn artistic nonsense in ROTK and TT 😠
Frodo was not whimpy but a sensible person in contrary to errm well some other characters who seem to find their only joy in killing others at will without asking why.
Thats a part I love on the TT EE - Faramir saying
"The enemy? [Looks at Southron he had killed] His sense of duty is no less than yours, I deem. I wonder what his name is, where he came from, and if he was really evil at heart, or what lies or threats led him on this long march from home, and if he would not rather have stayed there... in peace."
(in the book:
It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would not really rather have stayed there in peace - all in a flash of thought which was quickly driven from his mind.)
This is also rather how Frodos mind seems to work. You cannot search for the quality of a person in how many people he kills.
And as you were speaking about Legolas...
Somebody really, really admirable for what he did is Glorfindel.
He sacrifaced his life in the fight against a Balrog to enable the surviving people to flee from the Ruin of Gondolin.
And Beleg. He was killed by his best friend because of trying to help him.

Agreed. I myself love Legolas in the book even waaay before the movie and even before I knew who Orlando Bloom is. And I loved Legolas not just because he was being played by a hot English guy in the movie but because of his character over all. He's with Boromir, Faramir and Eowyn as my top favorite characters. Now, I know that Elves have spider-sense (but not ala-Spiderman) and they are light-footed and I know that Legolas has some cool abilities compared to Men but it irks me sometimes that the movie is making him way too over the top. I liked him the best in FOTR. He's the same silent, low-profile Elf but still a great warrior that I know in the book.

Actually, he kills a Mumak, one, plural is Mumakil, keep stupid comments to yourself. Exa knows that.
At first I thought that the moves were cool, but I mean, if he were an average elf and he did that, he wouldn't've survived. They just did that so he got some screen time for the little fans.
I rather see Gimli do some moves, but did I see him? Nooooooo, it's always the stupid elf.
^ LOL...
LegolasIsMyMan: What else are we going to talk about? You made your point. And no one in this bloody board could change your view about him. We gave you more than enough reasons to prove that Frodo is not wimpy but you are the one who is refusing to look at him in the bright side.
He's not coward and wimpy just like what you think. You just "refuse" to believe otherwise because you already made up your mind about him.
That said, I don't think there's anything more to talk about regarding this matter.
After skimming through this thread I am not sure if anyone has considered this...( and if this has been covered I do apologize for not giving credit )
The majority here states that Frodo is a wimp, a weakling, and did not manage to fight to save his own life, but didn't he at the Council of Elrond ( while everyone else was bickering mind you ) speak up and say that he would take the ring to Mount Doom. Into the darkness of Mordor? Does bravery not stand for anything ? He knew the road before him ( only needing to ask the way from Gandalf ) and knew that it was not an easy task....but he continues to say that the Ring is his burden. He has elected the task and only he can accomplish it.
The ring took control of him, just as it did Gollum, and after 13 months of wearing it upon his neck, it drained him of any strength that he might have had.
Frodo was not a weakling, he saved Middle-Earth

Yeah, that was the only thing that was really heroic about him.
im sorry but that about the dumbest thing I have seen anyone say on this board.
you think that only fighting & killing is heroic? your an idiot.
maybe you would have prefered if they had Arnie playing frodo then huh?
You people are getting on my LAST nerve!!! Especially you, LegolasIsMyMan!! You insult Frodo and say he's a "wimp" when he's not and then when we say how Legolas shouldn't do all the damn fighting and HE'S the "wimp" or whatever you people said, you stick up for him! You just say he's not a wimp and crap because he's hot and he's played by Orlando Bloom. That's your only reason. So everyone, let's just drop this stupid subject! Frodo is NOT a wimp. LegolasIsMyMan's mind will NEVER be changed by anyone, so who cares if she thinks Frodo is a wimp? Obviously, everyone...Hmmm so just don't alright? This thread needs to die. Frodo is very brave for, first of all, volunteering to take the Ring to Mordor and for many more things. The end. OK? Everything settled? Good. NOW DO NOT REPLY IN THIS THREAD ANYMORE!!!
Eh watch someone reply like right after me.... 😠 Why can't we just let this die? It's a never ending argument people!!!! Geez....
i don't defend legolas because he is only "hot and played by orlando bloom,that makes me so mad, it has nothing to do with that....I liked the book legolas before i even saw the movies, so please don't say anything like that, ok, cause you don't know.
and no chapel i am not an idiot, just because i don't see things your way,that is being idiotic...not me having a different opinion.
