Legolas vs Captain America

What do you see as being more damaging. Arrows or Chitauri rifle blast?

Good question Rob, but I do think it's as pertinent as some believe on here. Put it this way, I think they would effect him differently imo. Arrows would hit... they might be taken out by Cap (unless he wants to fight with these protruding objects from his body) or at the very least broken off. This could cause a variety of things... with the arrows still in there... could cause continued pain.. maybe even continued bleeding and could make things cumbersome for Cap having multiple arrows in him. The blasts don't have these same affects. Sure, they could be more powerful in a blunt force vaporize kinda way. So it's really hard to say what would affect him more to me. I just think Legolas could fire so many arrows and he's so agile that I think it would be more potent imo. Not saying Legolas would win... I just think it's silly to think Legolas wouldn't hit Cap with arrows.

He also got shot in the stomach with a pistol, and twice with an assault rifle if I recall and kept fighting.

That gunshot to the side seriously hurt him. Hurt him enough that he collapsed and was unable to stand for a few seconds. Had that shot been in a more vital area he probably would have been taken out.

But Cap did stand, because he's an American 👆

Cap can cut through metal (several showings) with the rim of his shield, but he couldn't possibly be able to "one-shot" Legolas with it?

Come on, Legolas is a badass, but he couldn't survive a well placed hit to the throat or head. Even a single strike to his elven torso with the shield's rim could severely cripple the elf.

Well yeah sure that would definitely work, but it has to be a clean and well placed shot. But a shield hit to the body? That was partially blocked by Legolas's arm? I don't think the shield will just slice through his torso. Because I know a stab from Legolas to Cap's torso will go through even if partially blocked by his arm. Legolas was slashing and impaling orcs in heavy armor without any apparent effort. Can you imagine Cap being able to easily cut apart orcs in heavy armor the same way Legolas does?

My point here is: Yes, Cap can take out Legolas, but he has to land better placed hits or more numerous hits since the daggers are just more lethal.

Wooden branch > Azog + Giant Mace

Steel shield prop > wooden branch.

Thus, Cap's fist > Azog + Giant Mace

Orks were weaksauce. :-p

Also, Cap is a natural genius at calculatong trajectory (s'how he is able to deflect weaponsfire, throw his shield, etc). What's to stop him from running towards legolas (deflecting arrows with his shield) until he either reaches Legolas or Legolas runs out of arrows?

Arrows are fast but not fast enough to be outside of Cap's rection time + shield to block/dodge/deflect.

You act like Legolas isn't a genius himself in shooting arrows... multuple arrows at times even.

Not saying that.

I'm saying that the weak link is the speed at which arrows fly.

I don't know man, 200-250 fps would be pretty fast. And right now I'm trying to remember feats of Cap where he displays super reflexes.

You don't need superhuman reflexes to block arrows with a shield....

When he blocked bullets with his shield? Lol

Automatic machine guns>multiple arrows

Right?

Yup. Now show me a marksman as good as Legolas shooting at Cap with an automatic machine gun.

Let me ask you, if I gave you Cap's shield and I started firing arrows at you from about 20 meters away, would you feel perfectly confident that you could block each of those arrows?

No because I am not Captain America 😂

And I am not Legolas either.

Come now TI, you're obviously saying this stuff to antagonize me. Surely you could have seen the logic in the comparison.

Does it matter, if he can block a hail of thousands of bullets from a mini gun, and gunfire from multiple people. I think he can block a few arrow that are moving a lot slower.

I can block a million bullets with a shield as long as the shooter keeps shooting in one location on my torso.

Best reaction/speed feat of anyone who has Super Soldier level stats is Bucky dodging close range duel machine pistol fire from Falcon. Falcon tries to take off and Bucky grabs his wing and yanks him back. Falcon unloads with both pistols at fairly close range, which Bucky acrobatically dodges. And if you consider that Steve and Bucky are virtually equals, stat-wise, it suggests that he could move and react at similar speeds in a similar situation. He just doesn't need to, having an indestructable shield instead.

Thank you for your straight forward answer. I had forgotten about that scene.
