lol...what is this shit? LotR is THE reason people even knew who Bloom was in the first place. He had a handful of uncredited/bit parts before he was cast in those movies. That's it.Originally Posted by Varodoc

Oh he's not that iconic, he's just the actor who played one of the most famous elves in fiction. Originally Posted by Adamas102

Exactly, he's just the actor. Originally Posted by Varodoc

The actor who played one of the most famous elves in fiction and thus whose appearance serves as the archetype for fantasy elves. Originally Posted by Evil Midnight Bomber

Unlike all the elven depictions before Orlando Bloom, of course, none of which EVER had long blond hair and a youthful physique. RIGHT? Originally Posted by Varodoc

Surprise, they put a wig and blue contact lenses on Bloom to give him that "Iconic" look. Originally Posted by Varodoc

Wait, are we talking about Will Ferrell now? Because yeah, HE is pretty iconic. Originally Posted by Varodoc

What a nonsense argument lmao, so following your logic Sauron isn't an iconic villain because he only had 1 spoken line in the entire trilogy and barely any appearance. Originally Posted by Adamas102

Sauron is ABSOLUTELY not an iconic villain (in literature or cinema). He’s more of a plot device in the novels than an actual character. Seriously, is “appeared in popular movie/series” really your benchmark for what makes a character (or actor) iconic? What a low low bar… Originally Posted by Varodoc
I get it, you’re super into Orlando Bloom for some reason, but his accomplishments as an actor are pretty weak. It’s really weird that of all the actors in the Fellowship you’ve decided to hitch your wagon to the least impactful of the group. And yeah, Peter Mullan and Lenny Henry are without a doubt better actors than Bloom, and I’m sure plenty of the others who I’m not familiar with are as well.

Claiming Legolas isn't iconic, fucking lol. The lengths people go to to prop up the RoP by trying to tear down the OG trilogy.

The hobbit movies should have only been two at most was the biggest issue. So much unnecessary stuff added that dragged it down. Originally Posted by Triceron

The Maple edit makes a great single 4-hour movie out of it. My favourite fan edit of any movie, by far. Originally Posted by Xath
