Legolas - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Oh, come on people! There's this serious talk about creating a distraction to keep Sauron from noticing the hobbits, it's spelled out elegantly in fine battle-speak by the king-to-be, and Pretty Boy blunders into the silence with, "A diversion." Yes, Legolas, when you distract an enemy so he doesn't notice your real plan of attack, it is called a diversion. Took you how many thousands of years to figure that out?)

Poor Legolas. It's not his fault he was suckered into playing Captain Exposition in that particular part of that particular movie. Sometimes, moviemakers throw in Captain Exposition so that the dimmer members of the audience can be ABSOLUTELY SURE of what's going on. For instance, in The Incredibles, poor Violet had to blurt out "The remote controls the robot!" even when that fact was unbearably obvious.

We must remember, dear Trinity, that sometimes the Lowest Common Denominator does like to take in a movie from time to time, and they're the ones that go "OHHHH!" when Legolas talks of diversions.

You are so correct, my dear. I cannot fault Legolas for being a useless pretty boy jock in Middle Earth. :)

Still, I mean, you had Eomer there, and even Gimli for laughs, why did they have to have the member of the near-divine race be the village idiot?

Perhaps the ignorant masses needed the omnipotent, benevolent guiding hand of a near-deity to ease them into the painful, painful truth. The truth of a DIVERSION.

Such grave matters cannot be relegated to a dwarf!
