That is true, but myself being the hardcore fan... well it was disappointing to see the light constantly cast upon Legolas, when you have someone like.... oh ... say.... FREAKING GANDALF who is bloody IMMORTAL and has more power then Legolas could possibly know what to do with getting the short end of the stick. Even Aragorn is more powerful then Legolas, him being the heir of Elendil, Anduril, etc, all that jazz. Really the only people who Legolas beat out in a competition of power were the Hobbits and Boromir, maybe Gimli (I like Gimli way better.) Sure, it's Hollywood, but it doesn't fit in with the power scheme that Tolkien created to give him all the glory. Really, its because of his looks as an actor that he got all the attention, not because of his canonical position of power. His fangirls could give a rats ass about that.
