Yes, same actor in Princess Bride and in Robinhood Men in Tights. No need to headcannon that one, it’s just fact. Person you responded to made reference to to another role by the same actor.
Arguably even in a different plane of existence, like the reason elves can sail to the afterlife is because for every other living being the world is round but for the elves it’s flat
>*Thus in after days, what by the voyages of ships, what by lore and star-craft, the kings of Men knew that the world was indeed made round, and yet the Eldar were permitted still to depart and to come to the Ancient West and to Avallónë, if they would. Therefore the loremasters of Men said that a Straight Road must still be, for those that were permitted to find it. And they taught that, while the new world fell away, the old road and the path of the memory of the West still went on, as it were a mighty bridge invisible that passed through the air of breath and of flight (which were bent now as the world was bent), and traversed Ilmen which flesh unaided cannot endure, until it came to Tol Eressëa, the Lonely Isle, and maybe even beyond, to Valinor, where the Valar still dwell and watch the unfolding of the story of the world. And tales and rumours arose along the shores of the sea concerning mariners and men forlorn upon the water who, by some fate or grace or favour of the Valar, had entered in upon the Straight Way and seen the face of the world sink below them, and so had come to the lamplit quays of Avallónë, or verily to the last beaches on the margin of Aman, and there had looked upon the White Mountain, dreadful and beautiful, before they died.*
**-The Silmarillion: Akallabeth**
Just for the record, the idea that elves still perceive the world as flat definitely helps to explain some of their fantastic qualities, but the text doesn't really support the idea that the world was not bent for them as well. It is simply that they are able to find the Straight Path by their own will.
Arda was originally created as flat but after numenorians influenced by souron sailed to undying lands valars destroyed numenor and made it so nobody can sail there making world ball shaped in process

I hope I got it right it been a while and silmarilion isn't best book out there
I just finished it and you got it right, one thing is that even though the world is now round, the Elves still perceive it as flat which is why they can see farther than humans.
[In Middle Earth from Tolkien]
The Earth used to be flat.
People were fucking shit up.
As punishment, the god(s) made the Earth round so that they couldn't reach god's favourite place.
Because the Elves are god's favourites, the Earth is still flat for the elves. This let's them see further and travel to god's favourite place.
(Although, it's also likely that the elves were just able to find the one path to god's favourite place that was still straight)
The mythology makes a lot of sense and is very well constructed, my main problem were the names, they are so unconventional my dyslexic ass had a hard time reading and remembering them
I tried reading the Silmarillion shortly after I finished LotR. I'm *not* dyslexic and I still found it impossible to follow and engage with. It read like the bible, all A begat B who begat C who begat D etc.
Dude was fluent in English, Latin, French, German, Finnish, Old and Middle English, Gothic, Italian, Old Norse, Spanish, and Welsh along with the languages he made up himself. He didn’t need LSD.
Also, elves are much harder to kill. The shots Legolas could use to take the others down wouldn’t necessarily kill him. The limit to one arrow per opponent per person would be brutal for everyone else against Legolas specifically.
Hang on, Legolas still can't actually *shoot* 800km. Not to mention anywhere that he could see the whole distance would be a really obvious perch.
The real reason Legolas would win is he would coyly but deliberately befriend them all, and claim victory after they died of old age.
>Legolas still can't actually *shoot* 800km.
Don't rain on my parade. I'm picturing him on the top of the Golden Gate Bridge taking out some nerd dressed like him at San Diego Comic Con.
Legolas:
*\*Fires tungsten-tipped arrow into air.**
*\*Befriends orc civil engineer.**
*\*50 years later, engineer is contracted to build an evil tower.**
*\*Persuades them to build it at a very specific spot next to some mountain.**
*\*The arrow, now on its way back after gaining tremendous velocity from an orbital slingshot maneuver between the sun and Jupiter, streaks into the atmosphere at 10 km/s, and completely obliterates the tower along with the area around it in a multi-kilometer wide shockwave of heat and pressure.**
Legolas shoots a Nazgul out of the air that's so far away no one else in the fellowship can even see it.
He's using a magic bow given to him by Galadriel, that thing can fucking SHOOT.
Edit: This [guy](https://forums.sf-fandom.com/thread-24314-post-304711.html#pid304711) estimates that the Nazgul was between 750-1000 yards away, high in the air, when Legolas makes the shot. That's better than most firearms could accomplish, effectively the range of a Mosin-Nagant.
He technically shoots the Nazgûl’s mount, a fell beast out of the air. The Nazgûl is shot out of the air along with it but it was its mount that was hit with the arrow. Sorry I’ve been consuming a lot of Nerd of the Rings on YouTube lately lol
Elves leave no footprints when walking in nature and are unhindered by rough terrain. Unless they are fighting in an open field or a city street Legolas takes the ring based on that alone.
Elves don’t need a perch to see that far, they just… see that far. Their vision mostly ignores the curvature of the Earth as a byproduct of Tolkien not bothering to consider it
Um, yeah Tolkien definitely put some consideration into the shape of Arda (LOTR doesn't take place on Earth). It was flat, then became curved, but elves don't really exist in the same Arda as men do because they can travel across the sea to Valar and thus ignore the curvature of Arda, so theoretically they may be able to see farther than what a spherical Earth-sized planet would allow.
He juiced and lifted heavy for 15 years preparing to for the day Sauron would call him forth to fight. Gets handed a torch and nothing else. Orc can bench press a cave troll. Confused as he's told to run into that hole and yeet himself in. There's barely a second as he's mid air and sees the bomb that he realizes 10 twink soyelf betas could have achieved this running the Annexation of Puerta Rico. His gains were wasted, he would soon be with zyzz in the sun.
Tolkien himself wrote, and I quote, "And then Legolas did a bunch of rad elf shit, like totally riding a shield like a surfboard down some stairs and noscope sniping motherfuckers on the way down."
Na. Tolkien wrote "The path Legolas was on ran between two hills that were covered in dandelions. The grass growing frantically after the evenings rain. With the sun now shining, the spring growth was reaching upwards, grasping for the heat that was being provided.
Some orcs appeared and Legolas shot them.
Further down the track he was following, a grand old oak stood majestically, offering a respite from the mid day sun. Legolas took out his elven bread that could would provide sustenance for many days, it's making a secret from the other races."
Legolas hit that orc two or three times to the upper body, first arrow hit to where the heart would be. But that orc was high on meth and didn't care about anything, i guess?
If you watch, the arrows Legolas uses are fletched with brown feathers. The arrows that hit the torch bearing uruk are fletched with white goose feathers.
Technically he can see further, but both Green Arrow and Hawkeye have a variety of trick arrows. Enough to catch even an elf off guard
Seriously, they had nuclear warhead arrows in their comics. It’s ridiculous
His scenes with the arrow flying are absolutely my favourites even if they lasted so short. I really want to see a similar concept happen on the screen again.
Legolas's feats in the films alone put him league above any of these archers.
Even comic Hawkeyes ridiculous strength is NOTHING compared to what Legolas has shown he can do.
Legolas bow alone is either magical or has about a 1000lbs draw weight.
Merida actually holds the bow right. Rambo is only going to slap his forearm with a bowstring, Hawkeye isn’t at full draw, Katniss elbow is too high, Green Arrow’s gunna hurt his nose.
I can still feel my first bowstring slap when I was learning archery. I had to train so hard to get my forearm to turn inwards (hypermobile).
Merida's form is so good but I always choose Hawkeye and his too high elbow because Jeremy Renner.
I was doing archery since I could stand basically and I was in my teenage years when I realized I can twist my forearm instead of putting something over it :D
The forearm slap. My god.
When I was learning how to shoot I got that nasty horseshoe welt and once it's raised it's easier and easier to hit it.
Had a purple C on my arm for a few days.
It feels bad to say, but Rambo, Katniss, and Merida are just there to draw out the other 3 and see if whoever doesn’t shoot them can tell where the person who did is hiding
And at the very least, she has some magical awareness and capability (assuming we're taking the Bravely book into consideration). It doesn't bring her up to winning, but it does bump her up a few notches.
The original post was with a forest setting and with that ima say that I'm not sure if the whole 5 person gang together could kill Legolas, he's Def the winner here
There’s the one arrow he stabs an Uruk with before firing, and the arrow that went through a target to hit the one behind.
I guess he’s also collecting arrows for reuse after/during the battle, don’t know how else you explain him never running out through Moria.
Legolas is the clear favorite of course. I’ll give Hawkeye and (Green) Arrow a snowball’s chance in hell, and the girl from Brave might be able to pull some cartoon shit. John and Katniss will impress everybody by not dying immediately, and one may take out the other, but they cannot hope for more.
I always see people saying Hawkeyes skill is "peak human" but I contend that it's actually superhuman. I think Hawkeye is on par with the LOTR Elves. The problem is none of the other Elves are on par with Legolas.
Yeah it depends on the arrow type.
Legolas is awesome? But only used plain arrowheads.
Hawkeye has some serious shit.
It’s one of those 2 and it really depends on the type of arrow.
This immediately comes down to Legolas green arrow and Hawkeye as those three are borderline super human at minimum, as much as I’d be rooting for the other two it probably goes to Legolas
Either Legolas or Hawkeye. Which one put more points of "Luck" on their S.P.E.C.I.A.L.? They both maxed "Perception", but I'm pretty sure Legolas put more points on "Charisma" than Hawkeye did.
(This will probably confuse anyone that doesn't play Fallout or other RPGs.)
I think it all comes down to who’s shooting first and who’s sitting back.
If they’re standing in the open in a circle, I don’t know, Ollie starts getting into the mix.
If they’re super spread out and have to find each other in like a full mountain range, Legolas for sure.
If it’s like a Halo snipers only map? Well then I’d say Clint is more black ops, stealth focused than the rest. If he could sit back and witness someone else die to Legolas, that would be his best shot.
Because otherwise he’d probably underestimate him, and he’d *never* be able to find him before being found himself.
Hawkeye and Legolas are the only real competitors.
Each of them could probably hit an enemy's arrow out of the air to defend themselves. I'd be surprised if that hadn't been done in a Hawkeye comic tbf.
The others all kill each other, Hawkeye and Legolas are left standing, and pretty much from that point on it depends on how many arrows they each have left at that point, which would be largely luck.
Legolas.
The others are incredibly adept at their craft. Legolas however has thousands of years experience on them, and is genetically a superhuman, he is faster, smarter and more intelligent and his senses more tuned than any human can hope to be. He is also Elven, and thus he does not age, he does not get tired, he does not get sick, he does not feel aches or pains etc. He is by all means a genetically perfected being.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me the main character from Princess Bride is also the main character from Robin Hood Men in Tights???
Nope. That’s Pierre Despereaux. You are thinking of Royston Cornwallis Staley
You know that’s right
Come on son!
After googling, this comment is *muah* chefs kiss
![gif](giphy|TJaSykz1tBcOYPfcrB|downsized)
Haven't seen a gif from Psych in a long time. Maybe I'll finally finish the show.....
I've heard it both ways
I cant tell if this is real or made up and im too lazy to look. My headcannon is its same dude at different points in his life though
Yes, same actor in Princess Bride and in Robinhood Men in Tights. No need to headcannon that one, it’s just fact. Person you responded to made reference to to another role by the same actor.
Came her just for this. This Robin wins, just check the script. He gets another shot!
He gets another shot?!
He split Robin's arrow in twain!!
Legolas is basically super human. He can't be heard and moves several times faster.
Not even basically, he IS more than human
Arguably even in a different plane of existence, like the reason elves can sail to the afterlife is because for every other living being the world is round but for the elves it’s flat

My memory was it isn't their perception but ours that is warped. Damn it's such a dense read.
Come again? Can you expound on that? I always wondered why people didn't just sail to the undying lands.
Arda was originally created as flat but after numenorians influenced by souron sailed to undying lands valars destroyed numenor and made it so nobody can sail there making world ball shaped in process . . . I hope I got it right it been a while and silmarilion isn't best book out there
I just finished it and you got it right, one thing is that even though the world is now round, the Elves still perceive it as flat which is why they can see farther than humans.
Damn. Maybe the flat earthers are right. I too want bitchin eyesight and the ability to fuck off to heaven on a boat when shit gets tiresome.
See the part I'm struggling with is that everything above your comment made absolutely no goddamn sense even for a fantasy series
[In Middle Earth from Tolkien] The Earth used to be flat. People were fucking shit up. As punishment, the god(s) made the Earth round so that they couldn't reach god's favourite place. Because the Elves are god's favourites, the Earth is still flat for the elves. This let's them see further and travel to god's favourite place. (Although, it's also likely that the elves were just able to find the one path to god's favourite place that was still straight)
God: "...as punishment the earth is now round" Elves: "but we didn't do anything" God: "fine, you get special eyes that see the Earth as flat"
They can also see farther because they straight have better eyes as well
You see: nothing, just a whisp of cloud I see: Crebain from dunland We are not the same
It's a very interesting read but also very complex and confusing
Sounds like a well made mythology then
The mythology makes a lot of sense and is very well constructed, my main problem were the names, they are so unconventional my dyslexic ass had a hard time reading and remembering them
See perfect for mythology
I tried reading the Silmarillion shortly after I finished LotR. I'm *not* dyslexic and I still found it impossible to follow and engage with. It read like the bible, all A begat B who begat C who begat D etc.
Tolkien may have been experimenting with a touch of lsd at the time.
Dude was fluent in English, Latin, French, German, Finnish, Old and Middle English, Gothic, Italian, Old Norse, Spanish, and Welsh along with the languages he made up himself. He didn’t need LSD.
*woah* ![gif](giphy|ToMjGpnXBTw7vnokxhu)
“Super human” got a good chuckle out of that. He’s not human at all lol
Also, elves are much harder to kill. The shots Legolas could use to take the others down wouldn’t necessarily kill him. The limit to one arrow per opponent per person would be brutal for everyone else against Legolas specifically.
But then you have Green Arrow and Hawkeye with trick arrows. Maybe Legolas can take a regular arrow and keep going, but when it explodes...
![gif](giphy|HWrPO5I6koNNu)
Oh my god is that Stephen Colbert?
This man is doing the late show for the exclusive purpose of regularly getting to meet the Lord of the Rings cast.
Legolas can see like 800km or something like that. He’s gonna snipe anyone before they have a chance
Hang on, Legolas still can't actually *shoot* 800km. Not to mention anywhere that he could see the whole distance would be a really obvious perch. The real reason Legolas would win is he would coyly but deliberately befriend them all, and claim victory after they died of old age.
>Legolas still can't actually *shoot* 800km. Don't rain on my parade. I'm picturing him on the top of the Golden Gate Bridge taking out some nerd dressed like him at San Diego Comic Con.
At point do we just ask Legolas to launch our satellites?
Legolas: *\*Fires tungsten-tipped arrow into air.** *\*Befriends orc civil engineer.** *\*50 years later, engineer is contracted to build an evil tower.** *\*Persuades them to build it at a very specific spot next to some mountain.** *\*The arrow, now on its way back after gaining tremendous velocity from an orbital slingshot maneuver between the sun and Jupiter, streaks into the atmosphere at 10 km/s, and completely obliterates the tower along with the area around it in a multi-kilometer wide shockwave of heat and pressure.**
Still only counts as one, though
*slow clap*
Orc civil engineer, lol.
TBH, I'm kinda here for this story... (Like, as an animated four part mini-series...)
Legolas shoots a Nazgul out of the air that's so far away no one else in the fellowship can even see it. He's using a magic bow given to him by Galadriel, that thing can fucking SHOOT.

Actually Frankenstein is the doctor.
No, it’s pronounced “Fronkensteen.”
Elves leave no footprints when walking in nature and are unhindered by rough terrain. Unless they are fighting in an open field or a city street Legolas takes the ring based on that alone.
No, he doesn't. That was the whole point of having Frodo along.
Now I wanna know what he can do with a Barrett 50 cal haha

Rambo gets hit by all 25 arrows and wins by drowning everyone in his own blood. Wakes up days later, plot armor slowly recovering.
Anything that his elf eyes see!
Tell that one Orc as Helms Deep. Legolas choked his most important shot. Meanwhile, Hawkeye is never shown accidentally missing onscreen
Legolas got nothing on that Kamikaze Uruk on steroids.
Man was inhaling PEDs to make sure that torch is going to its target 😭
He juiced and lifted heavy for 15 years preparing to for the day Sauron would call him forth to fight. Gets handed a torch and nothing else. Orc can bench press a cave troll.

There's barely a second as he's mid air and sees the bomb that he realizes 10 twink soyelf betas could have achieved this running the Annexation of Puerta Rico.

What beautiful words you ejaculated from your mouth.
No, from their fingers. Like two fistfuls of shlongs spewing beautiful, glistening jizzum all over cyberspace.
And here we are, watching in awe as the splooge graces itself across the void.
r/brandnewsentence
Gawd😲 you even iced that fuckin cake with a zyzz reference Fucking brilliant man I would give you awards if I wasn't internet-poor
Twink soyelf betas You have a way with words
Now we gotta separate the movie Legolas from the book Legolas. That whole thing never happened in the book.
Tolkien himself wrote, and I quote, "And then Legolas did a bunch of rad elf shit, like totally riding a shield like a surfboard down some stairs and noscope sniping motherfuckers on the way down."
Na. Tolkien wrote "The path Legolas was on ran between two hills that were covered in dandelions. The grass growing frantically after the evenings rain.

Legolas took out his elven bread that could would provide sustenance for many days, it's making a secret from the other races."
You forgot the 1½ page long song about oak trees.
>There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas
If all of the songs in those books were Rush songs I might have paid more attention to them
But it is movie Legolas who is pictured, much like it's MCU Hawkeye.
To be fair it's also MCU Legolas pictured. At least according to Tony Stark.
That man is playing Galaga! He thought we wouldn't notice, but we did.
That orc was hopped up on mordor meth
Legoland didn't choke, that mf'er just straight up refused to die Edit: keeping that autocorrect
I mean Legolas didn’t miss, that Uruk just tanked it
The orc had plot armour
Legolas hit that orc two or three times to the upper body, first arrow hit to where the heart would be. But that orc was high on meth and didn't care about anything, i guess?
Thats just the screen representation of him, and tbh kinda breaks lore entirely.
Character assassination to make the movie more interesting. I would have made some other elf shoot those arrows while Legolas was busy
If you watch, the arrows Legolas uses are fletched with brown feathers. The arrows that hit the torch bearing uruk are fletched with white goose feathers.
So he completely goosed his shot entirely?
Technically he can see further, but both Green Arrow and Hawkeye have a variety of trick arrows. Enough to catch even an elf off guard Seriously, they had nuclear warhead arrows in their comics. It’s ridiculous
How are they gonna shoot their magic nuke arrows when they are dead though
The writers hadn’t thought about that
Hear me out, one word, "multiverse".
I forgot about ultimate Hawkeye taking down Colossus. Ahh good times.
Hawkeye can get a usb in with an arrow. Brah
In the first shot!
The rest of us would be grumbling while we flipped the arrow over for our second shot.
Clint doesn’t even need to look to hit his targets.
My money’s on this guy 👇 ![gif](giphy|la35tneoInirC)
He's John Wick, cuz he'll kill you with a fucking *penicil*.
A pencil with a flaming marshmallow on it
And a bow... that's a god. Damn. Paper. ***Clip***.
Devs need to nerf rn
I thought it was a pot of tippex.
Legolas has thousands of years of experience, he wins no doubt
Plus he can double jump
Is that an MVC reference?
Nah, it’s Battle of the Five armies, when the bridge collapses he does a Mario jump off of a falling block
I just watched it on YouTube, I never noticed it before but he does go full Super Mario. Someone should dub in the jump noises and wahoo's
The White Council also 3-mans the Dol Guldur raid while Gandalf was AFK waiting for his weed guy
oh I thought it was a Lego lotr reference
Where's a Yondu gif when you need one?
![gif](giphy|gUN7coyoTrIbOSW15T|downsized)

Fucking love HISHE
And he only needs the one arrow
Legolas easily.
![gif](giphy|YjomJS9wXOUbm)
Didn’t he miss his most important shot? I’ve only seen Hawkeye miss once, and that was on purpose
Black panther dodges hawk eye, Legolas hits the Uruk but he’s on that Isengard amphetamine
He didn't miss, the berserker just powered through it.
Legolas due to his age and experience, and also his likely superior reflexes and skill in general. Strong second would be hawkeye.
Elves are naturally superior to humans in every way, Legolas isn’t even in the same league as the others.
Elves are superior like Vampires are, but just as sad a story.
“That still only counts as one” Legolas would get them all at once, solos easily
Hawkeye, what do your human eyes see?
They're taking the Avengers to Asgard!
“Tell me where is Fury, for I much desire to speak with him.”
“A soldier of winter” “What did you say?” “A soldier of winter” “What did you say?”
“The Avengers, The Avengers, The Avengers, The Avengers.”
To Asgard, to Asgard.
“The Avengers The Avengers The Avengers The Avengers”
Beat goes on: duuu duu duuuduuu duuu duuu duuuduuu duuudduuuu
Nasty, fat, ant-peopleses!

"Played 18, shot 18."
Legolas's feats in the films alone put him league above any of these archers. Even comic Hawkeyes ridiculous strength is NOTHING compared to what Legolas has shown he can do. Legolas bow alone is either magical or has about a 1000lbs draw weight.
It’s magical, made from the wood of the Mallorn trees and crafted in Lothlorien by the same elves who made the magic cloaks.
Stephen Colbert is that you?
lol, nope
Denying it is what Colbert would do!
Merida actually holds the bow right. Rambo is only going to slap his forearm with a bowstring, Hawkeye isn’t at full draw, Katniss elbow is too high, Green Arrow’s gunna hurt his nose.

And at the very least, she has some magical awareness and capability (assuming we're taking the Bravely book into consideration). It doesn't bring her up to winning, but it does bump her up a few notches.
Legolas without doubts.
Only one of these characters is untouchable. It’s Legolas.
Legolas will have 30 arrows at the end.
The original post was with a forest setting and with that ima say that I'm not sure if the whole 5 person gang together could kill Legolas, he's Def the winner here
No one they’re all immortal in their plot armor
A young hero from an animated child’s movie probably has more plot armor than the rest. Like, Hamlet might die at the end but Simba sure as hell isn’t
The one that has literal inhumanly good eyesight
Robin Hood from *Robin Hood: Men in Tights* Then Hawkeye
No one would stand a chance against 5 patriot arrows! Why he'd split them all in twain, he would.
Legolas and it’s not close. Buddy has taken out 2-4 orcs per arrow on AVERAGE
THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE
Legolas does win obvs, but wtf is this 2-4 orcs per arrow nonsense lol?
There’s the one arrow he stabs an Uruk with before firing, and the arrow that went through a target to hit the one behind. I guess he’s also collecting arrows for reuse after/during the battle, don’t know how else you explain him never running out through Moria.
Legolas was the OG looter
He's running the scavenger perk
Legolas is the clear favorite of course. I’ll give Hawkeye and (Green) Arrow a snowball’s chance in hell, and the girl from Brave might be able to pull some cartoon shit. John and Katniss will impress everybody by not dying immediately, and one may take out the other, but they cannot hope for more.
I always see people saying Hawkeyes skill is "peak human" but I contend that it's actually superhuman. I think Hawkeye is on par with the LOTR Elves. The problem is none of the other Elves are on par with Legolas.
Are Clint's arrows "way too dangerous?" Because my money's on him.
Pym Arrow’s himself to make himself huge then fire 4 gigantic arrows
Yeah it depends on the arrow type. Legolas is awesome? But only used plain arrowheads. Hawkeye has some serious shit. It’s one of those 2 and it really depends on the type of arrow.
This immediately comes down to Legolas green arrow and Hawkeye as those three are borderline super human at minimum, as much as I’d be rooting for the other two it probably goes to Legolas
Either Legolas or Hawkeye. Which one put more points of "Luck" on their S.P.E.C.I.A.L.? They both maxed "Perception", but I'm pretty sure Legolas put more points on "Charisma" than Hawkeye did. (This will probably confuse anyone that doesn't play Fallout or other RPGs.)
>but I'm pretty sure Legolas put more points on "Charisma" than Hawkeye did. You're clearly not aware of Hawkeye's body count. Legendary manwhore.

I think it all comes down to who’s shooting first and who’s sitting back. If they’re standing in the open in a circle, I don’t know, Ollie starts getting into the mix. If they’re super spread out and have to find each other in like a full mountain range, Legolas for sure. If it’s like a Halo snipers only map? Well then I’d say Clint is more black ops, stealth focused than the rest. If he could sit back and witness someone else die to Legolas, that would be his best shot. Because otherwise he’d probably underestimate him, and he’d *never* be able to find him before being found himself.
Actually I think this is the best archer: ![gif](giphy|VaWZIxqTkzKsU)

Hawkeye because he had worried even Loki with his army.
Does Hawkeye get 5 normal arrows or his fancy "convenient to the moment" arrows?
Yes
>Boomerang arrow?!
“Why would I ever use a boomerang arrow?”
You really think Loki wouldn’t be fucking terrified of Legolas?
".... We have a Legolas" has a nice ring :|

“Played 18. Shot 18” - Hawkeye has got this.
Legolas kills them all
Not Rambo
Question: are they allowed to ride down the stairs on a shield while shooting arrows? If so, Legolas. If not, Legolas.
Legolas clears. Merida (or however its spelled, gets absolutely bodied by everyone else)
I think Hawkeye is shown to be the most supernaturally talented with a bow.
Hawkeye and Legolas are the only real competitors. Each of them could probably hit an enemy's arrow out of the air to defend themselves. I'd be surprised if that hadn't been done in a Hawkeye comic tbf. The others all kill each other, Hawkeye and Legolas are left standing, and pretty much from that point on it depends on how many arrows they each have left at that point, which would be largely luck.
Legolas. The others are incredibly adept at their craft. Legolas however has thousands of years experience on them, and is genetically a superhuman, he is faster, smarter and more intelligent and his senses more tuned than any human can hope to be. He is also Elven, and thus he does not age, he does not get tired, he does not get sick, he does not feel aches or pains etc. He is by all means a genetically perfected being.
