“Completely unprotected” as he points to what would amount to several feet of fat, muscle, and bone that an animal of the correct size would have . Are you blind or just willfully ignorant?
We have 3 movies to see the penetrating power of Legolas’ arrows. Hell, he couldn’t even bring down an unarmored Uruk berserker with two hits from relatively close range. He’s fast and he’s accurate, but he’s not getting through the amount of tissue and bone it would take to hit the brain (or any vital organ) from that angle. He even tried that trick on the cave troll in Fellowship (a much smaller creature) and it turned out exactly as one would expect.
“stop being a fucking weirdo and trying to argue that one is more farcical than the other” was the exact quote of mine. If you think that in anyway suggests that I think one is indeed more farcical than the other AND that I’m telling you which you should like or dislike then your reading comprehension is beyond abysmal.
