Legolas is named by Aragorn during the council meeting. And again after Gandalf falls. Both in front of Frodo.

It's because elves usually all look the same. Everyone else is very disticutally different. Yet elves tend to look similar. I mean, it took working for like 4 different types of Asians before I could tell them apart and not even by simple looks lmao. Ayo, even fantasy realms got they racism lmao

The first time I seen the snowy pass scene where saruman is chanting for the avalanche, to me it sounded like Jim Carry in the mask singing with the blow dryer.

This is why books are better. lmao

​@@AnonEyeMouse doesn't mean frodo remembers his name

Hahahhahahhaha

"AYYY, THAT GUY....."

LOL

XDDD

that, guy i know that guy

Speak friend and enter

he should have had Sam talk to him

It's like me. I never remember people's names, so I barely ever refer to someone by their name. I always had this problem, I remember it took me half a year to remember all of my classmates names one time.. and I still wasn't sure who was who. Like, I knew there's Julia in our class, but which one was it?

I did that many times when I was a kid. Now I make sure to know people's name

Surely he-“ Merry and Pippin stumble into the room from the kitchen with armfuls of stolen food: “We talking about Aragorn?” “No he means Gimli! Also… it’s King Aragorn now! Actually King Elessar Telcontar, the high king of Arnor and Gondor!” “I know that! But we’re his friends! We’re allowed to call him Aragorn or Strider… heh” Frodo is just chilling and laughing while Sam is getting enraged: “What are you doing here, making off with Mister Frodos provisions?!” Frodo: “Actually we were talking about the elf. Heh” (Casually takes an apple from Merry and starts eating it. Completely unfazed and just enjoying his friends and simple life) M&P: “Well… seein as you’re sailing off to elf land, we figured you wouldn’t need a stocked pantry and we didn’t want it all to go to waste!” “Yeah! Wasting food is bad. We’re doing Frodo a favor! Now unhand me, Gamgee!” “Mhm. Also… what elf?” Frodo bursts out laughing and closes the book, leading the guys outside for a picnic… “Nevermind. It’s not important. Let’s go have a picnic, it’s a nice day. Come along Sam! Don’t be so upset. Look, there’s Rosie on her way to work! Go say hello!” And that’s how it happened. True story.

when was it exactly, which Chapter?

@@turarbekanuarbek Are you kidding? Do you know how big those books are? And I read them over 30 years ago when I was a teenager! Go read them yourself!

@@turarbekanuarbek :skull:

So Legolas is a zoomer generation elf. That certainly gives me a new lens to watch the movies through.

Frodo is also quite familiar with the elvish language. In the first book they come across some elves singing, and Frodo joins right in.

I was going to say this exact thing 😂

Maybe he told Aragorn because they jumped together.

He was talking to aragorn.

Well your not wrong but not right he says come on to the both of them. Witch is talking to him but not directly.

how about gimbli

"Here's a pretty hobbit-skin to wrap an elven princeling in!"

He's at least 2000 years old

Yeah i don't know if the chronology supports this, Legolas is almost 3000 years old by the time of the War of the Ring

There not any indication of the shirt's age. It could be much, much older than we might think at first. It could have been made in Moria for a prince of Beleriand. It might be more recent, as well. I don't think there's any reason to rule out that Legolas actually has a younger brother that we simply have never heard about. In fact, I think to me that would be the most interesting reason.

@Kwijiboz I was going to say 3000 because he lead survivors from the fall of gondalin.

Don’t they call each other cunts, instead of mates? I’m not joking

Or if they were closer: "cuuuunt"

😂😂😂😂 so random

@@oz_jones “sickest cuuuunt”

Yep, for real. It is so convenient that it's completely fine to just reply "Hey mate how ya goin" when someone greets you by name. There are even some legends out in the wild that say mate universally to men, women, children, grannies, pets, you name it. Like, I'll say "dude" or "man" to anyone regardless of who (maybe I'm a bit Americanized by media), but I respect the "Hey mate" from a man to a woman 👌

In your defense the name Kevin is entirely unmemorable.

@@sidrat2009 True, not a very memorable name but an amazing person. He never missed a moment to make employees and customers laugh.

I can relate to this, I've been working at a restaurant for 5 years, and there are 3 of the waitstaff I've worked with for just over a year I've even drinken with them on multiple occasions and have no idea there names but it feels too late to ask so I don't.

@@sidrat2009 Yep this is why most times I end up going by my last name. Not hard to remember the name Moffett.

The Bible is truth. To understand this read genesis, Mathew, and one book of the Bible you chose yourself. As you do this practice forgiveness. It's about what's in your heart, love Is the key. If there's love in your heart you forgive. The act proves the truth. To be forgiven we must forgive. Start with your parents, they've loved you, they're easiest. Look inside for the grievances we all build up there and Genuinely forgive from within. It teaches you something you can learn no other ways. You have to learn first hand by what this process does inside your soul. Please trust me. Break down before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness today. It's not too late. God loves you. Please trust me. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life 😊

​@@jamesmayle3787 😂😂

How does a hobbit not knowing the name of an elf the same as a demigod not knowing the location of a relatively small settlement? The latter has all the reason not to know.

The Shire is actually younger than Gollum. Which is why Gollum wasn't able to tell Sauron where it was. By time he was able to figure out its location, Gandalf had already set his plans into motion. Sauron is older than Gollum, which means he is older than the creation of the Shire. He actually doesn't know its location. lol He finds out, but only after the ring changed ownership to Frodo and Frodo was already leaving the Shire to destroy it.

And Aragorn tells Legolas to sit down. It is on Elvish, but Legolas is definitely said

​@@LiquidSanif it's in Elvish and said BY Aragorn, then it doesn't count.

@@Zorothex5152 it does count. The topic is that Frodo doesn't KNOW legolas name, not that he doesn't say it. He hears Legolas name.

@@LiquidSan I literally forget most people's names the moment they introduce themselves to me. And you're expecting Frodo to recognize Legolas' name in the middle of a gibberish sentence and remember it...

​@@LiquidSan Hearing it as part of a language you don't speak doesn't guarantee that you know it. Aragorn could have said "Shut up, jackass," and Frodo wouldn't know if his name were jackass, shuddup, jack, or none of the above.

The worst is when they always remember your name, while you're just hoping they don't f^&% up again. You start feeling like the d!ck you told yourself that you wouldn't become.

Same, even with more distant family members.😂😅

I feel kinda bad. They all seem to know my name even though I never talk to them but I don't know their names 😅

Based

It could also be that hobbit didnt like anyone taller than 6 feet

my bestie is a hobbit

This has called me short in Elvish as well as English.

As the love child of Gimli and Legolas, I disagree.

🤣 Are you new to civilization? Did you think everyone in the world consisted of the people in your uncontacted tribe deep in the Amazon? 🤣

and then it gets increasingly awkward because you keep meeting them but you can't ask so you decide to wait until someone else says their name but it just never happens while you are listening

​@@alalessia Yup, that's how it goes. The problem was, I ran a business, and I would have customer come up to me while I was in town, and starting talking to me, as if they know me, and not only did I forget their name, I don't even remember them as all. Put come and go so fast in a store, that it just becomes a blur after awhile. So someone could have come in the morning, and come in again a few hours later, and I would think it was their first time. Because of this, my short term memory for people sucks. I would have to have met you many times, and have talked to you for a certain amount of time, before I start to be able to remember you, and even then, I probably won't know your name. smh Easy for a 1,000 people to remember who you are, much harder for you to remember a 1,000 people. :)

More importantly, Frodo shows in the books that he knows Elvish at least a bit. So he could certainly understand at least "take a seat", and guess Legolas to be a name through context as you said.

​@@Avankiri but it's a film theory so only going on what the movie shows

​@@Avankiri c'mon they said "film theory" and "in the movies" a lot of times, and it's a short video, so not even a lot of information.

Frodo was too busy staring at the ring. Everytime Legolas' name is mentioned, Frodo is off doing something else. Cleaning his ears, taking a pee, checking his messages...

@@Avankiri He explicitly does not know Elvish in the movies though. He had to ask Gandalf what the Elvish word for "friend" was at the gates of Moria. The fact that he asked Gandalf and not THE ELF THAT WAS RIGHT THERE further supports this theory.

Yeah its there in the books though not in the movies

@@SH19922x shush

To Frodo they're legendary. To most hobbits they're strange and scary and best avoided. Everyone else in the Shire (aside from Frodo and Sam) thought Bilbo was completely cracked because he associated with Elves.

@@brucetucker4847 I mean, Bilbo was cracked for a Hobbit, dudes never leave their villages

Seriously!!! The Night Angel trilogy was epic!!!

"Elrond, when did you join the fellowship??"

Frodo:"Some of my best friend's are elves! What do you mean , 'knife ears' is offensive. I call my elf friend 'knife ears' all the time."

💀

That was in Two Towers- Frodo wasn't there.

@@jonathancampbell5231 Didn´t he ask that when they were walking through the snow to Moria?

@@sim.frischh9781 No, it was when they were chasing the Uruk-Hai that had kidnapped Merry and. Pippin.

Sometimes? Watch that scene where the Trio first meet him in Fangorn again.

Yay, it's... Elf guy!

...its umm ol sarge there

It be like that sometimes

Frodo and Legolas met in Rivendell after that tho

@@ElffriendYT Yes and he might still be viewing him as a glowing lightbulb weirdo since the Witch King's Wound never truly heal...

@@MaXtreme91 👀

​@@MaXtreme91 wouldn't the curse be broken with the death of the Witch King?

@@Yumao420 Well canonically he decided to leave middle earth and take a shortcut to heaven cause the wound didn't heal... I stick to my glowing foe theory haha !

good im glad im not the only one that has that theory.

That's the REAL reason he went to the Undying Lands. He was waiting for Legolas! lol

He could asked someone by then

Helen of Troy, I think, Mr. Frodo.

It’s been said many times. However, they did have a conversation in Lothlorien.

I think you do have to purse your lips a little bit to say the "s" or it will sound like "legolath"

@@holdingpattern245 I dont know how you make the "s" sound, but you clearly dont need your lips.

​@@holdingpattern245 you make the "s" sound through your teeth.

@@SusieQ3 lip readers can tell when someone makes an s sound because the mouth does normally move, it's possible to make an s sound without moving your mouth but no one does it unless they're trying not to move their mouth on purpose, which it would be weird for Frodo to do in this scene

Unlikely imo! First, I think Bilbo and Frodo are far too polite for that. Second, by the end of The Hobbit (after the big battle) Bilbo seems to hold the wood elves in quite high regard :)

They barely spoke in the books either

​@@michaeldavis9190 but they did speak in the first book. Not much, but more than in the movie.

They literally start the clip saying it’s a FILM theory, smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

Must have been real awkward for frodo to be catching all that from a guy who he couldnt be bothered to remember his name.

Must have been weird for Frodo. He probably thinks this elf dude is stalking him.
