That is a reference to this video, which I had almost forgotten about (but you awakened my memory of).

What could be shoot that he didn't already shoot? In the books, he already managed to fell a fell beast from long range. And it's not like shooting the eye of Sauron with a sniper rifle would kill him.

[–] the_joeba@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

Not with that attitude

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A sniper file would have stopped the orc that blows up the wall at helms deep.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah but with the higher reload time, he might not have been ready for the first shot.

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (3 children)

He did all of that with a bow, imagine him with a sniper rifle...

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

it would be much harder to stab an orc with an arrow then shoot said arrow if Legolas was armed with a sniper rifle

[–] Khrux@ttrpg.network 8 points 8 months ago

He could just do the equivalent and stab them with bullet, duh

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago
[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Same number of kills just at longer range. Gimli still wins.

He shoot his arrow faster than he can reload a sniper rifle, and he took down a freaking giant elephant with a freaking bow and arrow! Recoil will just slow him down.

And he mostly have to deal with load of uruks, an assault rifle will be better for him.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 5 points 8 months ago

Username checks out

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 24 points 8 months ago

That's an awfully thick book on the right to hold one page's worth of material. Heck with a simple modification it could be one sentence:

"Legolas fires the ring straight into Mt. Doom with an RPG attachment."

:-P

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Why does he still have a quiver full of arrows?

[–] shadmere@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

To load the gun. Pay attention!

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 months ago

In case of close quarters fighting

Or the eagles take the ring to mount doom... One page done

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago
[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Sauron was watching for that though. It's easy to fly out of a place when the defenses are all down.

Lord of the Rings but Frodo has an assault rifle.

Frodo is a little bitch, give it to Sam

Lord of the Rings but Sam has an assault rifle... and an armored SUV

Frodo is the sentient equivalent of tying the ring to a snail.

Jokes aside he is supposed to be exceptionally resilient to its corruption.

Elves have standards.

Be polite.

Be efficient.

Have a plan to kill every orc you meet.

I think it's really stupid that Gandalf didn't just super Saiyan every obstacle like is he stupid?

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Reminds me of the sniper in saving Private Ryan.

Put me within 1 mile of the furer, you can pack it up boys, wars over, we going home

Or something like that

Lord of the rings, but Gimli has a nuke

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Gimli: levels the entire region of Mordor

Legolas: That only counts as one.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

"What do your elf eyes see?" takes on a whole new meaning.

[–] SkabySkalywag@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

So did he shoot a bunch of songs and pages of description too?... Cool, cool I mean I'd pay to see Tom Bombadil got shot in the dick ...

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Did Legolas even have a big role in the books?

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's largely the same as the movie. The big difference would be the battle outside Minas tirith, the battle gets glossed over when the boats arrive with a regular army. He probably didn't kill an elephant singlehandedly.

He basically did in the movies tho.
