Who wins????

Legolas for me. He e'en gets to go to Valinor.

 

[Arwen Undomiel]

Same, but for a different reason. Legolas is the best archer known to Man.

Known to the Edain only? It is truly so? What of the Eldar remaining in the Third Age?

I don't know if he would be a match for Beleg Cúthalion, or "Strongbow", of Doriath in the First Age ... 🤔

Oh, Legolas. He's likely older and more experienced. He's also a Sinda, though I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes since he even thinks of himself as a Silvan.

Legolas. Tauriel was a pointless added character that wasn't needed and should never have existed. I was hoping an orc would lop her head off at some point but sadly she survived.

If it makes you feel any better she does die in my AU Fellowship RPG campaign. Though it's a heroic sacrifice.

Legolas. Reading The Lord of the Rings, he was my favorite character, and maybe that is just because I have a certain gravitation to Elves, but regardless, I loved the character of Legolas. I have only seen clips of Tauriel in anything, and I know that she is not in the books, but to me nothing could compare with Tolkien's creation, and since Legolas was dreamt from his own mind, traditional and stern, and Tauriel was thought up by the modern minds of others, even with good intents, even the finest, nothing can compare with Tolkien and his outstandingly true and genius literary art. For that reason, I can only choose Legolas.

Yeah, the movies overstate Elves' skill and dexterity.

Tauriel doesn't exist as this is the "Tolkien forum" not the "Jackson forum"

 

[Elthir]

But it's the New Line Cinema's Hobbit section of the forum though.

Or something like that.

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

That is true. Since we are the Tolkien Forum, our horizons are very broad and open. Most all topics associated with Tolkien are both welcome and encouraged-- the way I see it, at least.

Elthir is right. It's in the correct forum to discuss such things.

 

[Elassar]

Apologies, I just clicked on "new posts" and paid no attention to what forum it was under

 

[Elthir]

No worries Elassar.

The question of the Post leaves me muddled.
"Legolas or Tauriel"..... for what? in which way? under what circumstances?

Our speculations are futile until we have all the facts ........................................................................ Sherlock Holmes

Even if the implication is "which character do you like the best, Legolas or Tauriel", the same (and more) questions would apply.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.’ ........ Sherlock Holmes

 

[Elthir]

Hmm. Given post three, I thought it was about who was the better archer.

But maybe something else?

I can only judge by the original post and its 'request'.
Post 3 turned out to be a poster's 'opinion' on why their choice was made.
Other opinions were also presented.
But as the question lacks specificity of any kind, there is no response that can be either right, or wrong.
It will simply be a response.
Thus absent specificity I choose not to respond. 😁

Speaking should be done causally, not casually................................................................................... Well-aged Enting

The better archer? I did not get that impression, and yet I may have perceived it wrong.
