True and also Frodo had much respect for elves maybe a little scared, which shows the Aura of Legolas again 😂 But I think they had a deep connection without talking
Frodo was learning a lot of new names all at once AND dealing with the Ring, like he’d literally just recovered from nearly becoming a Wraith… and yeah, Legolas and Aragorn were also probably talking in elven all the time being aloof 😁
Frodo: Aragorn! *awww dammit who is that….. that elf…. He…. Uses a bow….. probably a prince…. Alright brain. Just say whatever the first thing is that comes out* Forget it. Just move on to the next and hope no one notices. Frodo: Gimli!
@@DarkCreed they literally do not speak to each other about anything the entire movie 😭😂🤦🏾♂️... and then for this final scene... it's wild! Frodo definitely doesn't remember his name 😂
Frodo probably thought he was haldir, and when he realized he wasn’t, he became really sad and fell into a depression. REST IN PEACE HALDIR YOU WILL BE AVENEGED
i just finished rewatching return of the king and randomly happened upon this while giggling reference photos. i laughed out loud at the title cuz i noticed the same thing!
Saw Return of the King the other night and I think this may have been an editing decision. Frodo’s reaction shot is quite brief, and it looks a little like his mouth is about to move to say his name. Perhaps they realised that the two hadn’t interacted enough throughout the films to justify it.
But the funny thing is, I doubt most people would have noticed the fact that Frodo and Legolas didn't have much screentime together, lol. I honestly hadn't noticed until I saw videos like this making fun and pointing it out showed up.
@@Checkmate1138 Personally, while I'd never registered the fact that Frodo and Legolas had talked so little to one another in the previous movies, I do remember finding him remaining silent at Legolas's entry goddamn hilarious already at my 2004 theater screening. Man, was this scene awkward! And Gandalf's weirdass laugh didn't exactly help matters.
As far as that scene is concerned, Legolas' reaction to seeing Frodo is a bit more stoic and reserved than everyone else's. I'm sure Frodo and Legolas are cool, their relationship is just different.
To be fair: After the First Movie they were sepperated until the End of Return of the King. And I am 100% sure that Frodo and Legolas had conversations during the Journey, but it just wasnt shown to us. After all, the Relationship between Frodo and Gandalf, Frodo and Sam, Frodo and Aaragorn, Frodo and Boromir, even Frodo and Merryn/Pippin, aber way more important then Frodo and Legolas or Gimli. And all this Relationships needed Screentime. I guess thats why he never talked much to Legolas and Gimli in the Movie. It would have cost too much Screentime
That, and in the actual books there is only 2 direct exchanges between Frodo and Legolas that I know of. The first is when they enter the forest of Lothlorien and Frodo hears the elves singing, legolas offers to sing it to him and tell him the meaning after, during the singing legolas's voice falters and he says he cannot sing the rest, for he has remembered the song is about the Maiden Nimrodel and how much sorrow came to Lothlorien after the dwarves awakened the evil in the mountains The second scene is Sam and Frodo floating down the great river wondering how long they had been in Caras Galadhon, the forest city where Frodo meets Galadriel, as their was no changing of the moon while they stayed there and the days and nights were unusually short. This then leads them to wonder if time does not actually change there like it does in the rest of the world, to which Legolas explains that time does exist their however 'change and growth' are not the same in such places as it is the rest of the world... essentially going on to say that the elves there do not keep to the same scale of time, nor count the seasons or years, but that all things under the sun will eventually wear and die. It is just that this wearing is slower there. Essentially their first exchange was awkward AF, as Legolas accidentally reminds Frodo Gandalf was "killed" by the Balrog. (this is actually very slightly in the movie as Legolas essentially tells the party he doesn't have the heart to tell them what the elves sing upon entering that area), and the second exchange he essentially tells Frodo death comes for everyone which is an understandably morbid topic. So yeah, wouldn't surprise me at all if Frodo didn't develop a particularly strong relationship with Legolas.
that is important - Frodo and Sam separate at the end of the film. But even in the books (and this is something that bothered me decades ago) Legolas is the only one who does not speak directly to Frodo, before the separation or after the return. The thing that bothered me - in the books Legolas is not particularly talkative (though always collegial) between Rivendell and Lorien but he does open up when they get to Lorien. He becomes more talkative, he talks about Lorien, he recites the tale of Nimrodel, - to the group. They spend a month in Lorien. Legolas ditches the Company during the day and he often takes Gimli with him. If he had taken one day to show Frodo around - Sam would have gone with them, Sam might have seen some rope, Sam might have commented on it, Sam might have gotten some ropemaking lessons like he wanted. Now the reunion scene in the books took place outside - Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Gimli, Frodo, Sam meet and converse as a group. That conversation is not recorded until the end - Legolas starts talking about the sea. He is talking to the group but he is also kind of talking to himself. One can surmise that Legolas exchanged words directly with Frodo or Sam during the outdoor reunion...one wants to believe
In a scene in extended version of Fellowship of the Ring, Legolas catches Frodo staring at him. You're looking too hard into this. Frodo just didn't want to call everyone's name. It would have been cheesy.
@@tiaaaron3278 thank you! Now that you mention it, I remember the scene UPD. I have just rewatched it, and Frodo did not stare at Legolas... Instead, everyone was staring at Frodo, including Legolas
@@daryapukhalskaya218 Legolas turned around and caught Frodo staring at him. Then Frodo turned away. Also Legolas is the only non-Hobbit member of Fellowship that Frodo sees in Mirror of Galadriel. That means he cares about the elf a lot.
@@tiaaaron3278 No, the point of that scene is that the members of the Fellowship are all giving Frodo glances, which he takes to be angry. He thinks that everyone is mad at him for leading Gandalf to his death, so he is glancing at the members of the Fellowship, to see them all shooting him dirty looks. Legolas, in particular, has nothing to do with it, he's just another member of the Fellowship. Same goes for when Frodo sees him in the mirror.

Legolas says nothing directly, one on one, to Frodo or Sam, in the books. He is the only one who never speaks directly to Frodo before Frodo and Sam strike out on their own. The reunion at the end of ROTK takes place outdoors - Frodo and Sam speak with Merry, Pippin, Legolas and Gimli. Legolas speaks of the sea and its effect on him, but he speaks generally, to the group and to himself. We can surmise that during this reunion a question or comment might have been made by one directly to the other but it is not recorded.
"And you have my bow."
That's all Legolas said to Frodo in the movies. In the books, they talked much more.
No, it's actually just "and my bow", which makes it even funnier XD
@@user-pz4xe3sb6t The version I saw he said "and you have my bow" czcams.com/video/_uzCqw-W1bU/video.html&ab_channel=Kriszcson
@@user-pz4xe3sb6t he actually does say “and you have my bow”
@@dharmallars ah, you're right, my apologies
And that wasn't even directly at Frodo, but to the whole council. He does it later when he see Sting glow blue and shouts 'Orcs' to everyone.
Being an elf, Legolas kept his distance from Frodo to avoid corruption by the ring. or maybe they just didn’t get along idk ^^

@@chazblank2717 So true, Frodo met the whole Fellowship at once so he forgot Legolas' name and at some point it became too awkward to ask.
Frodo: Aragorn!

Forget it. Just move on to the next and hope no one notices.
Frodo: Gimli!
It's the other way around. Gimli comes first. Then Legolas and then Aragorn.
Aragón! Gimli! .... You... Yea... My dude!
I'm so mad I never noticed this before the internet ran with it... It is HILARIOUS
I still never knew this till a work colleague mentioned it and I had to go check it out. Now I feel stupid for not noticing this before lol.

REST IN PEACE
HALDIR

and when they all saw the volcano erupt cuz of Frodo they didn't even show Legolas reaction as if he didn't care lol
Since a kid It gets to me how they barely exchange words together
Yeah its crazy
It is the height difference.
I’m sure he knew Legolas’s name. He just couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Sam called Aragorn, 'Strider' at the end of the first movie, so it seems that a lot of names were forgotten.
Aragorn has like 10 different names, I forgive Sam.
Brilliant.
i always assumed they talk to each other of screen, but that ending theory, maybe they just walked silently beside each other
He just didn’t know how to pronounce it and was trying to be polite
This hits different. 😳
never watched these movies but i find this hilarious
Ok, the second guy to talk is just the first guy doing Bert impression
What if he called Legolas "Boromir" instead?
He actually says "And you have my bow" but w/e
He also kinda shouts come on at him
I mean they walked together for months they probably talked in that time it just wasnt worth showing all that in the movie
5 words... and you have my bow
It reminds me of Leia and Chewbacca in Episode 7

Yup, bugs me too.
Its a New Zealand accent
Why would he? Legolas said no more then 5 words against him. Not exactly a good friendship.
