In Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy, Legolas shows1 an unrequited, implicit affection for the Tauriel, a Silvan elf character created specifically for the films. While Legolas is depicted as having a close, somewhat intense bond with her, Tauriel’s romantic arc focuses on the dwarf Kíli. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s books, Legolas has no romantic interest or crush mentioned.
He is attracted to the non-canon elf-woman Tauriel. In the West End musical, The Lord of the Rings: The Musical, Legolas was portrayed by Michael Rouse.
Though she and Legolas first met as children, and their relationship is significant, her romantic arc is not with him, as she develops a mutual attraction to the dwarf Kíli.
Tauriel loves Kili because he is different. He is a dwarf with lyrical abilities and he understands the elves ́ love for the starlight. Indeed he shares it. What makes him quite the odd dwarf.
The movie the Battle of Five Armies expanded on Tolkien's canon by saying that the white gems Thranduil wanted back from the dwarves were originally intended for her, but that she was captured and taken and tortured to death by Gundabad orcs before the order was completed.
He attacks the Orcs in rage, and is later confronted by Bolg. He saves Tauriel from being attacked by Bolg, but is mortally wounded during the fight. Kíli dies with Tauriel by his side. Bolg is eventually killed by Legolas while Azog is killed by Thorin himself avenging the brothers.
Thranduil, also known as the Elvenking, was a Sindarin Elf and King of the Silvan Elves of Mirkwood of the Woodland Realm. Thranduil was son of Oropher and father of Legolas.
The relationship between Gandalf and Galadriel in Tolkien's world was based on deep respect, friendship, and spiritual connection, though there are no indications of a romantic relationship in the books or films.
Therefore it is feasible that he would have never actually had a wound before, especially as it took all that from Bolg to get the smallest nosebleed. Therefore seeing his own blood came as quite a shock. And demonstrated the violent nature of his foe to both Legolas and the audience.
Are Fili and Kili half-elves? Fili and Kili are not half-elf. They are the maternal nephews of Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarf, and are themselves dwarves of the line of Durin, the Longbeards.
He heard all about Thranduil from his dad and his buddies. Technically Legolas is a prince. so saying legolas son of Thranduil would let everyone know he is the elven prince. Which he didn't want to freely admit.
Legolas's people are a blend of Silvan and Sindar Elves. His grandfather, Oropher, was a refugee from the great Elven city of Doriath, which was destroyed in the terrible battle with Morgoth at the end of the First Age.
Tolkien's description of Gollum conforms to a Catholic – and Thomistic – account of envy, which is a “sadness of the soul”; and it is Gollum's unbearable sadness and his unquenchable desire for the one Ring that marks his character.
In the late First Age, Finrod and Galadriel came to Doriath as guests of Thingol. There, Celeborn and Galadriel met, fell in love, and were soon betrothed. Galadriel remained in Doriath with Celeborn after Finrod went to the Caverns of Narog to establish the stronghold of Nargothrond.
Tolkien describes Aragorn and Arwen's courtship in starkly different terms than Jackson's trilogy. In the books, Aragorn's love for the Evenstar is discovered by her father who tells the young Numenorian that consent for the marriage will only be granted if he regains the throne of both Gondor and Arnor.
Tolkien's Legolas is extremely introverted. He just doesn't have much to say directly to anyone, perhaps because he's thousands of years old. His odd relationship with Gimli draws him out in a way the hobbits never do, and that's mostly after Frodo and Sam leave the Fellowship.
The name "Legolas Greenleaf" appeared first in "The Fall of Gondolin" in The Book of Lost Tales, applied to a character who guided some survivors of the sack of the city to safety.
Late in The Fellowship of the Ring, the companions encounter a mysterious being that we only later discover to be a Winged Nazgûl. Though they aren't able to identify it, Legolas succeeds in shooting down its flying steed.
Midway through The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf becomes the head of the order of Wizards, and is renamed Gandalf the White. This change in status (and clothing) introduces another name for the wizard: the White Rider. However, characters who speak Elvish still refer to him as Mithrandir.
Sauron does not love Galadriel. He covets her. He covets her power. He cannot love.
Gil-galad then entrusted Narya to his lieutenant Círdan, when Gandalf arrived in Middle-Earth Círdan knowing Gandalf's true nature and duty, gave him Narya. It was called The Ring of Fire because it was set with a ruby & had fire powers.
Everyone is going to have a different answer but, for elves, I assume this: The human equivalent is x5 up to 'mid-twenties' bracket. So, a '16yo' is 80 years while a '24yo' is 120 years. After that, the aging process essentially stops.
“Thranduil developed feelings over 2 years (12 in human) into their marriage but she 'rejected his love for her' and ran away while he was at war, leaving infant Legolas alone, and that when Thranduil found out he finished the war and quickly returned home, and ordered her to be found, but she was captured and tortured ...
IIRC Cirdan is the oldest known elf. It's possible (though unlikely) that he might have not been the oldest elf of his people despite being their leader.
