- One does not simply drive into Morder
  
  One does not simply Mitsubishi four door
  
  I can't rally the ring, Mr. Frodo...but I can rally you!
  
  You're breaking the car Samir!
- Oh my god the pictures you chose are so beautiful
  
  I wish I could say I made this
- They fly, no fools... 🏎️
  
  Strider is a black hawk pilot
- It may be a short story but boy is it a movie I wanna see
- 5 right, very long, tightens.
  
  3 left over crest, caution, narrow unseen hairpin

- 9/10 Pippin needs a pair of those nuclear test goggles.
- Like he and Merry wouldn't have set it off in the Shire out of curiosity
  
  Its bc Pippin is also the President of the United States
- Bravo
- That fool of a Took would nuke Gondor by accident
- Lord of the nuclear weapons race.

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.
- Not with that attitude
- A sniper file would have stopped the orc that blows up the wall at helms deep.
  
  Yeah but with the higher reload time, he might not have been ready for the first shot.
- He did all of that with a bow, imagine him with a sniper rifle...
  
  it would be much harder to stab an orc with an arrow then shoot said arrow if Legolas was armed with a sniper rifle
  
  Same number of kills just at longer range. Gimli still wins.
  
  Honestly, it seems like he'd have about equal stopping and slower fire rate.
- And it's not like shooting the eye of Sauron with a sniper rifle would kill him.
  I agree, but I still think someone should have tried. Even if it didn't kill him there's a giant gulf between not killing him and doing nothing.
  This applies more to Voldemort than to the eye of Sauron tbh. Ofc he has horcruxes blah blah blah but if they just got an SAS sniper to shoot a 50 cal sniper round at him from a mile out - again, I'm not saying it would kill him but... would it have done nothing? All I'm saying is there's a thing called due diligence and they should have at least tried.
  
  Also it might be possible that attacking the eye of soron could blind him.

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.
- Username checks out

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

Why does he still have a quiver full of arrows?
- To load the gun. Pay attention!
- In case of close quarters fighting
- It's actually full of mags
- those are actually for cleaning the barrel

lord of the rings but gandalf has a trebuchet and mt. doom is within 300m
- Lord of the Rings but Frodo has an assault rifle.
  
  Frodo is a little removed, give it to Sam
  
  I'm kinda sad it's a normal size rifle. He's a Hobbit it should be huge
- ONE SHOT TWO KILLS MOTHERFUCKER!

Or the eagles take the ring to mount doom... One page done
- Every time I hear this idea, I think of this Oglaf comic
- Sauron was watching for that though. It's easy to fly out of a place when the defenses are all down.
- He'd prefer if they walk

Elves have standards.
Be polite.
Be efficient.
Have a plan to kill every orc you meet.
- My party does not care for me at all.
  I'm an assassin not a crazed elf.
  What's the difference. Well ones a job and the other is a mental sickness.
  Gibliy put frodo on the communication spell.

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

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

Lord of the rings but the giant eagles are stealth bombers.
- There must be room in the world for a high budget “Mordor vs USA” parody movie.
  Or maybe a 30 second comedy video.

Lord of the rings, but Gimli has a nuke
- Gimli: levels the entire region of Mordor
  Legolas: That only counts as one.

"What do your elf eyes see?" takes on a whole new meaning.
- What do your elf eyes see?
  Oh baby a triple

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 ...

He basically did in the movies tho.

He called his house Legoland

Did Legolas even have a big role in the books?
- 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.
  
  So basically Legolas in the books with a Sniper Rifle is just Legolas in the movies?

Shoooot. Just frodo walking out of the shire is the length of the one on the right.

- Yeah but with the ancient elvish magic and longevity and blah blah and wave of the hands annnd his ears are fine!

He just kills Tom Bombadil and then throws the rifle away, doesn't like the smell.

loll this is also what i think if they just used the eagles logically
- Use the eagles? You don't just USE the Eagles. They are intelligent beings. They don't submit to the will of anyone. They kindly risked their lives toward the end, and only because things had escalated already.
  
  you are right. so sorry... one does not simply use the eagles
