It's because crappy derivatives just copied Legolas. The funny thing is he wasn't even close to the top dog warrior elf in Tolkien's works or even in Lord of the Rings. That would have been Glorfindel whose actions in the first book were replaced by Liv Tyler in the Hollywood adaptation. Glorfindel killed a freakin Balrog (fallen angel) in the past and the Witch King ran from him.

Fingolfin took his sword and shield and called out and dueled Satan which was later ripped off in Warcraft with Broxigar and Sargeras. He wounded his foot and Morgoth walked with a limp after that.

Elves were not to be fucked with in the ancient world of Tolkien. Fingolfin vs Morgoth is the kind of things fans wanted to see and instead the jewed Tolkien estate (Simon whose father disowned him, married a jew and his heir was raised in judaism) gives you metrosexual elves in Amazon fan fiction.

I have a tolkien lore book and for whatever reason all depictions of Morgoth are literally just Yakub. Its really goofy considering that the entire Yakub lore is basically a ripped off and inverted tolkien mythos.

Give it a few more years with AI and fans will have better movies than Hollywood.
