    Hey, Legolas is a prince and hardly just some average elf. You shouldn’t expect all the other elves to perform to the same standard.

      You can tell it’s a work of fiction because most of the royalty in LOTR have some outstanding qualities and aren’t all inbred.

    Iirc, it was legolas and 2 other elves that joined after the battle (elronds sons)

    The other archers were humans

          True, though your comment was a bit cryptic.

          I feel we really missed out, by getting Lorien elves instead of Dunedain rangers. Ofc they wouldn’t have been in such a prominent battle, like Helms Deep.

          Though, actually they could have been placed quite well. I always disliked the army of the dead fighting at the Pelenor fields, in the movies, since it invalidates all the struggle of Minas Tirtith’ soldiers and Rohan‘s riders.
