I’m really intrigued by the way thranduil is played. All the subtle movements and gestures. It really gives you the impression that the elves are these effortlessly graceful beings.
Right? He even makes the way he crosses his arms in front of himself look all graceful and imposing. He doesn't do anything clumsily like the commonfolk, no, no; Thranduil can stand still and just *breathe* more majestically than highly trained dancers can do the waltz.
@zaknamony8815 no. He and possibly legolas are silvan elves, while the other murkwood elves aew sindarin elves. Hence why thranduil says he would never let legolas marry a lowly sindarin elf (tauriel). You can also tell because thranduil and legolas both have white hair and the other murkwood elves have brown or red hair. There's a lot of different kinds of elves, I suggest you look at the sundering of the elves
In case anyone’s confuse why Legolas asked his father why he killed the orc instead of setting him free, it’s because Elves have this code of conduct where they have to set their enemies free if they repent and beg for forgiveness.
Yes, elves are predisposed to be honorable and kind even to their enemies although Silvan elves are a bit rougher in that regard. However Thranduil and Legolas are Sindar and are thus expected to be most honourable which is why Legolas was confused by his father's conduct.
Thranduil had a rough life and his kingdom shrank because of servants of Darkness such as the spiders and Orcs taking over most of his realm. Why release an Orc that they will simply have to kill later anyway? Besides, who knows what happens to the fea of Orcs (assuming they have them) after they die? Even Tolkien never settled the matter to his own satisfaction.
Oh there's no grace in their character whatsoever, even if they were given long hair in ROP. Amazon made an insult of adaptation to Tolkien's works, and if forgivable I cannot find it forgettable.
Plus, some like Gil-galad and (especially) Celebrimbor look like middle-aged Men more than they do Elves. Especially given that Galadriel, who was born in Valinor during the Years of the Trees, looks so much younger despite also being quite old in the Second Age. Also, Elrond....well, I just can't take that version of him as seriously as when Hugo Weaving played him.
What does elfling means ? Because in the french version, the orc called him "semi-elfe", which basically means "half-elf" which is Elrond's case but not Thranduil's as far as I know ? Maybe it was just a translation approximation
@@Nunelii I think means "young elf" as in underage because of how Legolas barley knew anything. The orc knew in that moment that Legolas was young and haven't been alive long enough to know.
Kind've how when you're under 18, you'd be considered a minor. But it could actually mean half-elf as well. I can't fully remember, it's been a while since I read and watched the series
He lived in Doraith in the First Age and was there when Thingol, King of the Sindar, which he is as well, was killed by dwarves, and it was clear she cared for Kili, a dwarf. In his view she was a traitor to the elven race. He was also trying to keep Legolas away from her. Also, save Finwe, first king of the Noldor, in Valinor, no elf has ever had a second love, so he was setting her free so she could be with Kili.
'The Lord of the Rings' was written in-universe by Frodo. 'There And Back Again, A Hobbit's Tale' was written by Bilbo. That's why the Hobbit film trilogy is written as so much more goofy than its sequel series. I'm amazed that more people haven't caught that, frankly.
@@Sehnsuchtversteckt123 I don’t have a problem with anything else than the visual side. I wish they would’ve given it half the effort of Lotr. And two movies would’ve probably done it
Same.. Rewatching them now.. The Hobbit Trilogy got so much hate because of the CGI which is understandable but The Cast WAS ON POINT.. Every Dwarf was perfectly cast and Martin Freeman as Bilbo was perfect!
I like how this scene shows, albeit subtly, that Thranduil and Legolas actually have a good relationship. Not perfect, but somewhat better than the common takeaway of Thranduil being a flat-out terrible dad. Thranduil is very harsh and authoritative toward Tauriel, and looks down on the Dwarves, Men, and even Gandalf. But he doesn’t mind Legolas openly questioning him, nor does Legolas show any fear or hesitance in stating his opinions and calling out his dad for doing something he disagrees with. There’s no “shut up Legolas and remember your place” here, and there’s no “oh I need to bow down to Dad no matter what” here. Clearly Thranduil has raised Legolas to speak his mind freely without any need for fear of judgment or scolding. And even though Thranduil is clearly triggered by the reference to Sauron, he doesn’t take it out on Legolas. In fact, Legolas is the only character to whom Thranduil always speaks in a gentle manner.
I didn't think of it that way before. Your right in that sense. He did raise him well but he still sucks at showing his affection and love for his child throughout his life though😂.
"You like killing things orc...You like death....Then let me give it to you"........lmaoooo The look on her face as she delivered that line was so awesome. Tauriel was a badass character, love that line

And then 02:48 it also makes me laugh because we clearly see that Legolas noticed the wiggling moves but just handsomely ignored them ! 😂
It just pisses me off at how well they did the makeup for this orc yet they did CGI for everything else, it just took me away at times, I wish they did more of this but we get what we get i guess
Tbf, because of how Legolas is probably much younger than he is in the hobbit, rather than in lotr he's probably not "all knowing" but more so "still learning" having him not really understand what his dad ment by "setting him free"
The elves have a reputation for being merciful even to their enemies, and Legolas probably thought his father would uphold that. However, as soon as he knew about the darkness the orc spoke of he made his decision, as it is the same darkness that threatened his kingdom so long ago.
I wouldn’t call The Hobbit trilogy good, but atleast they don’t come off as spiteful and/or insulting like Rings of Power. There is a really good *film* burried beneath this trilogy. But on a side note holy FUCK is Lee superb in these films
Well to be honest at first she had her hopes high for Legolas but his father warned her not lead him on because she 's not worthy of it .that's why she went for the dwarf.
@@AliBaba-rq5onbut she went forma the dwarf cause she loves him. With Legolas there was friendship and yeah she wanted to keep it that way. But a few days were enough to fall in love with Kili. Sadly she lost her true love a few days later

@@NuneliiYes. In one of Tolkien's books he writes that Thranduil trembeled only when he looked into the direction of where Mordor was. He wittnesed terrible things there.
He’s surprised because Thranduil broke an elvish tradition: if someone repents and confesses, they would be allowed to go free unharmed and unharassed… even if it was an orc. Because of Thranduil’s action in breaking a sacred elf belief, he wants to know more more than ever what could have unnerved his father so.
Because Thranduil and Legolas are sindar elves and are meant to be noble. Orc or not, Thranduil said, "Tell us what you know and I will set you free." to a prisoner of elves and they tend to keep their word so his actions fucked with Legolas' head because it's *not* their ways
How does this orc know that this random she elf he's never seen before has the hots for the "black aired archer" ? (his mannerisms suggest he was deliberately trying to provoke her) Also why does another MacGuffin that ends up poisoning a main character have to have a name with "Morgul" in it? Just to milk the vibes of the whole Morgul blade stabbing Frodo from Fellowship? (keep in mind that nothing in this scene is canon). Mind you "Morgul" literally means sorcery in Black Speech. It makes sense for Naz'gul to have "Morgul" items, but some random orc? Why not just call it a poisoned arrow?
Wouldn’t it be cool if Peter Jackson did a movie of the battle that was taking place here during the battle in Gondor in the return of the king. As we know Sauron also ordered a force to attack them.
I think it’s funny how the orc brought up the relatively useless piece of information about one of the specific dwarves getting shanked so the elves know about it for the sake of the plot lol
Weak writing to get Tauriel to find out. And he says it tauntingly to her as if he somehow knows she loves the dwarf he shot, which he couldn’t possibly know.
Y’know, given the derogatory connotation of “she-Elf,” I honestly wonder if that Orc was calling Tauriel a *female* dog (ie, a bitch) in particular and the subtitles wisely chose not to translate that part.
Probably. He said it in a very sharp tone, as if calling her a btch. He probably also wanted her to get angry so he could die without having to give away anything
As much as Lord of the Rings met and exceeded all my expectations, The Hobbit did the polar opposite. A disappointing dirge of slow moving, expensive indulgence, with more padding than they knew what was good for them. So much happened in the movie that simply was not in the book- this scene being a good example.

Wouldn’t it be cool if Peter Jackson did a movie of the battle that was taking place here during the battle in Gondor in the return of the king. As we know Sauron also ordered a force to attack them.
I'd PAY to see that so BAD
But the orkie workie just wants to have babies and a family????
Poor old orcs, they don't seem to have had much choice...
Dwarves Men and Elves need to unite and Fight this Enemy together
Way to point out the obvious, you accoustic reject. I bet you ask ICU patients if they're ok as well.
Tauriel = mommy sorry mommy sorry
Reminds me of our world today. Keep faith.
My master served the one..This is Sauron
Have you ever thought that when Thranduil says GO NOW he is not being nasty he is saying go after him now? And she does.
2:57 notice is missing one blade which he used to kill Bolg. then at 3:18, he now has both, which sets the atmosphere that shit's about to go down
I think it’s funny how the orc brought up the relatively useless piece of information about one of the specific dwarves getting shanked so the elves know about it for the sake of the plot lol
1:45-1:50, 2:37-2:38, 2:50-2:52, 3:04-3:14, 3:18-3:22, 3:27-3:28
The trees are perfectly spaced out.
He should have kept thaf armor, loved it
ME: "after you kill him can I have his pack of Marlboro lights?"
@2:36 Such a troll. 😆
You said you would set him free
And i did i set his head free from his miserable body
These are real elves, not the jokers we see on TROP.
Thank goodness for this orc needing for no reason to spout off the very specific dwarf that was hit with a poison arrow.
No one said that orcs have to be smart.
Weak writing to get Tauriel to find out. And he says it tauntingly to her as if he somehow knows she loves the dwarf he shot, which he couldn’t possibly know.
Why does the orc tease the Elves about a dying dwarfs they obviously wouldn’t care about besides the chick but he wouldn’t know that
Y’know, given the derogatory connotation of “she-Elf,” I honestly wonder if that Orc was calling Tauriel a *female* dog (ie, a bitch) in particular and the subtitles wisely chose not to translate that part.
Probably. He said it in a very sharp tone, as if calling her a btch. He probably also wanted her to get angry so he could die without having to give away anything
Shâ hakhtiz khunai-go, Golgi!
So if I turn on HDR will I actually see HDR can youtube videos get uploaded and encoded on youtube and transmit HDR video?
Please what’s the title of the music?
Turns out orcs are really bad at negotiation from a weak position.
2:29 did say the orc "Elfling"?? 🤔🤔🤔
He’s still consider a child he’s a teenager in this
2:44 very unpolished, caught the ragdoll glitching through the floor in a cutscene
Orc glitches through the floor into the backrooms where morgoth is
Right…..why would I let him go free and risk him telling the others lol🥴🥴🥴
An orc with braids, İnteresting.
Look it’s Benjamin Button Elf
Ronan and Wasp
Tauriel and truindel and legolas talks too chapters orc.
As much as Lord of the Rings met and exceeded all my expectations, The Hobbit did the polar opposite. A disappointing dirge of slow moving, expensive indulgence, with more padding than they knew what was good for them. So much happened in the movie that simply was not in the book- this scene being a good example.
I like the Hobbit movies.
This scene was one of the good parts, though.
Please do the council of the wise. Thanks.
That orc is TK from Shortland street lol
