Legolas in the movie vs in the books #lotr #lordoftherings #hobbit

I’m glad they went with Orlando Bloom instead subtitles

[dylan_silva]

In the books, Legolas is only mentioned as 'beautiful' with no description of how he actually looks

[AysaMetric]

Man, I was eating. This nearly killed me.

[orlandobloomupdates]

so absolutely beautiful 😍

“He was tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a great war-bow and shoot down a Nazgûl, 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.”

Which is why Tolkien left it up to us to decide...each of us see our own Legolas. This is one of many.

[Limner_Liora]

😂😂😂 I thought you were going to talk about how he had brown hair in the books, but this is FAR better 👏👏

[Proud.Thranduil_fan]

Dude he’s more handsome in the books then I could every imagine omg wow 🤩

Shot down a whole Nazgul with 1 arrow and the whole fellowship barely talked about it outside of "we need to account for all 9 before sending Frodo to his doom, so that means 8" 😂

[Jonipoon]

I must admit, usually these type of shorts are annoying but you genuinely made me laugh. Well done sir

[trueblue]

That actually got me. I full on belly laughed at this one. Well done

[waitwhat]

Book legolus : shoots down the freaking nazgul on a dragon thingi in absolute darkness and 0 light which is on another ther side of river bank
Movie legolus: kills an oilphaunt..

The exact definition of “never let them now your next move” lol.

[michaelsalazar]

Gotta say, I couldn't remember reading a description of Legolas. This was hilarious!

[Wolfheart-]

That’s what I love about books, you get to decide what the characters look like

[gamecube]

I honest-to-God actually expected this about actually expecting it. I said to myself "how the fuck does he have Is appearance in the book, it's a novel, it wasn't have pictures, what is it gonna be just the Text "Legol- oh it is. That's fucking Hilarious

[perpetualswing]

As someone who is currently reading the fellowship of the ring I can confirm that this is exactly what Legolas looks like

[incognito]

Ah! I'm shocked how movies portray character these days. That's why books are so much better. I didn't even know tbh-

[LordJuppitertheFirst]

As a LotR fan I knew Legolas is just Legolas, Tolkien don't describe the hairs either. Every time i say this to someone who saw the films he is like "damn how is that possible"

[elowyn]

I always imagined Legolas to look like he appeared in the movie. Orlando Bloom was the perfect cast.

[CloverDrawsStuff]

I have never simped for Legolas in the movies but oml book Legolas has my heart for ever 😍
