Line 208:
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Regular in the original, [[Up to Eleven|taken a ridiculous level]] in the PJ films.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Gimli.
* [[Oh Crap]]: The only time he ''ever'' appears [http://media.photobucket.com/image/legolas%20scared/jewbie/Legolas_mad_2.jpg scared] in the trilogy is at the mention of the [[Hero -Killer|Balrog.]]
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]
* [[The Smart Guy]]
Line 304:
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Goes up against the Witch King of Angmar and, with Merry's help, defeats him.
** [[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu]]: She literally broke her arm in the struggle, but she also nearly died from contact with the Witch King.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]
* [[Everything's Better With Princesses]]
* [[Go Through Me]]
Line 329:
* [[Composite Character]]: He is combined with Erkenbrand, who provided soldiers for the relief of Helm's Deep.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: More or less just there to fight in the movies.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Horse-famous."
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Orphaned at a young age, raised by [[Parental Substitute|his uncle]].
Line 366:
* [[Regent for Life]]: "Word has reached my ears of this [[King Incognito|Aragorn son of Arathorn]] and I tell you now... '''I will not bow to some ranger from the north!'''"
* [[Sanity Slippage]]
* [[Self -Immolation]]
* [[Taking You With Me]]
* [[24-Hour Armor]]: Seen as a symbol of his stubbornness and pride, but also redeeming values thereof.
Line 415:
* [[Everything's Better With Princesses]]
* [[Heroic Lineage]]
* [[HerosHero's Muse]]: She functions in this role for Aragorn: the driving force behind his striving to regain his crown is his love for Arwen and the fact that he can only marry her once he is king.
* [[The High Queen]]
* [[The Lady's Favour]]: Wove a flag for Aragorn; gave him the Elfstone via Galadriel.
Line 422:
* [[No Ontological Inertia]] / [[Ill Girl]]: Film only, as a consequence of her choice of mortality.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really Twenty-Seven Hundred Years Old]]
* [[WorldsWorld's Most Beautiful Woman]]: Literally (after Luthien died).
 
== Galadriel ([[Cate Blanchett]]) ==
Line 556:
* [[Obviously Evil]]
* [[Orcus On His Throne]]: He never engages anyone in physical battle after his previous defeat. Though this isn't to say that he's inactive. His Eye is always on the move, as are his servants.
* [[Out -Gambitted]]: He Out Gambits everyone, and then is in turn [[Out -Gambitted]] by Gandalf. See [[Unwitting Pawn]] below.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|Red Eye Take Warning]]
* [[Take Over the World]]: Sauron wants world domination, a smaller and more practical goal than Morgoth's desire to remake the universe in his image.
* [[Tin Tyrant]]: Whenever we actually see Sauron in the films, he's fully covered in plate armor.
Line 616:
* [[Non-Elemental]]: Saruman's specialty.
* [[Not So Different]]
* [[One -Man Industrial Revolution]]: A [[Green Aesop]].
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: The Wizards are really angels disguised as elderly humans.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: His dark tower, Orthanc, is crowned with four spikes, and his staff also has four spikes at the top.
Line 699:
* [[Smug Snake]]: Grishnakh.
* [[Torture Technician]]: Just about any orc with brains will be one of these.
* [[Was Once a Man]]: The origin that made it into the books is that they were once elves. This is only one possibility, though, and [[Flip -Flop of God|it kept changing right up until Tolkien's death]]--he didn't like the implications that had for their eternal souls, even though he did not want evil to be capable of independent creation, which would have conflicted with his Christianity.
 
== Trolls ==
Line 720:
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: 'His name is remembered in no tale for he himself had forgotten it, and he said "I am the Mouth of Sauron"'
* [[Evil Sorcerer]]
* [[Gross Up Close -Up]]: His teeth. Egads, his teeth...
* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Pretty much his whole "negotiation" with Gandalf.
* [[Mouth of Sauron]]: [[Trope Namer]]
