So I could get away with having really big ears, because there was nothing that was going to distract you from the hair… Although, hair down to your knees can get a bit troublesome when you’re flying around killing Orcs and Goblins. And I have what we joke around with on set, we call it my ‘IHS’, which is my Iconic Hair Shape, and it’s this big, beautiful, lustrous curl that runs down my back. It’s a massive head of hair, and it’s almost shocking red… And so, my hair is kind of big and it’s very noticeable. Can I just try the large?” So we tried the large, and I was like, “That’s it!” I love them, they’re huge! I have these huge, pointed ears… And how I can get away with that is I have this wig that’s down to my knees. Which one would you like to wear?” And right away, they went, “Probably not the large.” And they sort of shuffled them aside, and went, “But we think the small and the medium would look great on you.” So we tried them on, and I was like, “Yeah, they’re kind of okay. I was presented with three beautiful sets of ears, and they said, “Well, we’ve got the small, the medium, and the large. Why does she tries to put her bow horizontally and right in front of herself all the time? Why does she tries to invent archery?Īpparently I will put all little details that kept bothering me in this post, so… The ears and hair problems were created by Lilly and her desire to be special: You don’t even need to know a first thing about archery to understand that pulling a bowstring down with your elbow is a big no. No, it’s physically impossible to draw an arrow like that. If Mirkwood elves used that shit during the Last Alliance, than I know why two thirds of them died - you have a better chance to kill yourself with this shit (that’s not solely Tauriel’s problem, Thranduil’s sword was even worse).Īnd I just can’t help myself but to laugh at Tauriel/EL failing to imitate archery: I don’t even want to start on how shitty elven weapons were. While we’re at it, when I was looking for pics of her quiver I noticed that WETA made hollows in her daggers “useful”: Lawyernovelistpersonal ( x): “Disney thinks you need to have slightly more realistic expectations of a woman’s appearance.” Not-a-hair-out-of-place is a bad choice, because it makes my “misogyny” radar beep wildly. Speaking of caring about Tauriel’s appearance too much, Then she wouldn’t be pulling arrows from nowhere, putting her bow into nowhere, and magically shifted her often absent quiver. You know, if Boyens and Lilly cared more about Tauriel as a character instead of making sure she looks good all the time, they would’ve made her carry her weapons all the time like Legolas does. Should I emphasise the fact that she has only one quiver: When she attacks Thranduil, she pulls an arrow from behind (the source for the gif x). Tauriel don’t just pull arrows from thin air, she can hide her bow in a plot hole too.Īlso, the above pictures show that Tauriel wears her quiver on the hip. Notice that Legolas has a quiver, a sword in a sheath, two daggers (white-ish hilts near arrows), and a bow - all weapons he uses Legolas carries on him. Does she always carry it in her hand? Kinda eliminates the point of having twin daggers, if your hand constantly occupied with a bow… Not like it troubles Tauriel: How many arrows you can realistically carry in your hand? Well, a quiver adds about 6 more:Īlso, I didn’t notice any devices that could hold her bow. Now, I can agree that it can be handy to hold arrows in your draw hand (she actually holds them in the other hand, which means she has to make more moves, which is bad), but if you choose to use a bow, you probably need to take more ammo than you can carry in your bare hands. No quiver (the thing behind her back is a sheath, and her quiver should be on her hip). Here, I found a better picture of her forest armour: She couldn’t realistically have any unsnapped arrows left on her when she was facing Thranduil in BOTFA. Now, she does use her daggers a lot, but the issue stands. Okay, Tumblr wouldn’t let me reblog this post, where we discussed Tauriel’s quiver issues.īut I agree with both lawyernovelistpersonal andĬalamity-kitten, Tauriel’s fighting style doesn’t allow her to use a bow.
