Lee Pace vs Robot
Letâs imagine King Thranduil in the grocery store picking out lettuce and lecturing it about a sleepless malice.
The star of Apple TV+âs âFoundationâ has stitched together one of the most dynamic, category-defying onscreen careers of his generation. So
The Hunt for Gollum update
âThe Hunt for Gollumâ finally has a script.
Originally published on August 7, 2025
Thranduilâs double
There are two men dressed as Thranduil but only one of them is Thranduil. A pretty boy can put on the Elvenkingâs clothes and silver-blond hair but that wouldnât make him Thranduil. He still is just a pretty boy in the fancy outfit. Thranduil is the presence of power, strength and self-assured arrogance. Lee has it even without a suit of armor and riding Moose the horse.
I think this story is about one of Thranduilâs doubles.

Beauty requires sacrifice
One of the cutest behind the scenes is where an Orc helps Thranduil with his cape. Thranduil is so adorable that even the Orcs love him.
According to âThe Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Chronicles VIâ there were quite a few problems with Thranduilâs beautiful but impractical costume.
It seems that because Thranduilâs sword got caught on his cape during shooting of the scene where Thranduil led the Elven company, his full-length swords were taken from him and replaced by the sawed-off swords. Sadly, the scene wasnât included in the movie.

They are still proud of him and display him.
His look from behind is definitely female. Queen Thranduil.
Adult content
I have only one question: what is the Orc waiting for?
Thranduil isnât impressed but some of the Elves are very interested.
âWhere is my Elven army?â
Moose is adorable, and Mooseâs BTS is so funny. But there is another story about that shooting with Moose. This is Leeâs foreword in âThe Battle of the Five Armies - Chronicles VIâ, itâs the same morning.
Lee had to portrait the Elvenking before the battle knowing nothing about his Elven army. It seems very stressful, but Lee was so easygoing, his approach to green screen shooting was so different from Sir Ian's hysterics.
THRANDUIL
An Elf with dungeons, a Woodland sprite and a single father â there are many faces of King Thranduil, but his self-assured arrogance and elegant beauty mask deep scars more terrible than those left on his body by dragon fire. What really happened to him? Here is the answer.
This is the most complete story of Thranduilâs life from the War of the Last Alliance to the Battle of the Five Armies based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the script and the documentary of "The Hobbit" movies, as well as Lee Pace's explanations of his character.
Book One
Chapter 1
Prince Thranduil wasnât pleased. His beautiful face, delicate and fair as a lily's petal, was calm, but troubled thoughts swirled beneath the impassive façade and manifested themselves in the icy look of his pale eyes. The cause of his displeasure was a sight before him. He stood on the rocky edge of the hills of Emyn Muil looking down at the plain of Dagorlad. Across Dagorlad lay Mordor defended by mountain ranges, the only way in was through the sealed Black Gate. Tomorrow the armies of Elves and Men would attack the Black Gate, but it wasnât the ominous entrance to Mordor that troubled Thranduil. He disliked what was spread out at his feet - the camp of the Wood Elves, whose prince he was.
The faint scent of green leaves brought by a gentle breeze reminded Thranduil that he wasnât alone on the hill. He quietly commanded, not bothering to turn around, âCome here.â

Royal teasing
Thranduil was using quite heavy weapons teasing Bard and playing with him. Really, Thranduil, this amount of naked flesh is scandalously indecent.
However, I donât believe in the Thranduil/Bard relationship. Thranduilâs words to Tauriel about the Dwarves, âYes, they will die⊠they are mortal,â demonstrate his point of view on relationships between mortals and immortals pretty clearly. After the death of his immortal wife no way he was going to break his heart again with a mortal who will die in a blink of an eye. Well, there was a way â losing his self-control, but the only one mortal who could push him over that line was Thorin and Thorin died. With Bard Thranduil was far from losing control, his behavior was calculated.
Thorinâs silver jewelry
Why did young Thorin, a kingâs grandson, wear silver jewelry instead of gold ones? Did he have things for the Elves since his youth? Itâs quite possible that young Prince Thorin had a crush on beautiful King Thranduil even before that fateful visit. They were neighbors, so surely he had seen him. Being young and romantic he put on the elven favorite metal to feel close to his crush.
Another explanation is he had to earn his jewelry because thatâs how the Dwarves raise their children, no pocket money and expensive gifts.
P.S. Thrain wears gold.
Thorinâs rope
When Thorinâs hands were freed, he didnât throw away the rope he was tied with. He wrapped it around his left wrist. Itâs like he needed a reminder of Thranduilâs inhospitality to fuel his anger⊠or just a reminder of Thranduil.
When his hands were tied, the rope looked differently, itâs not like he forgot to shake it off.
Gender equality in the Woodland Realm
Thranduil has a very progressive view on gender equality. If you position yourself as strong and independent â feel free to unload wagons. If you position yourself as beautiful and elegant â feel free to sit wearing a pretty outfit. âI sit on my throne, I sit on my chair in the tent, I sit on the horseâ (c)
However, I donât think the female servants are too happy with it.
At first I was wondering, why did those female servants help to unload, the people of Dale were capable of doing it themselves. There is the aha-moment: someoneâs hand grabbing a spear (or a torch, whatever) attached to the side of the wagon. Without supervision the people of Dale would take not only food but everything else as well including planks and wheels. (Knowing the habits of the male servants itâs clear that the female ones were more reliable supervisors.)
Thranduilâs tiara
Thranduilâs silver tiara has a feminine design. In fact, itâs similar to Galadrielâs LOTR tiara but more elegant. All female tiaras are decorated at the back. No male tiara goes down to the back of the head.Â

The tiara of Legolas looks like a kid's tiara, he was wearing it with his short pants millennia ago.
The Elvenlords & wine
People think Thranduil is an alcoholic because he always has wine handy. Let me explain. Thranduilâs bottles of wine are full or almost full. It's not a problem for him to be surrounded by bottles of wine and only occasionally to make a sip. The only empty bottles we are seeing are drunk by his people but his peopleâs diet of wine and salad is another story.
Now look closely at Elrondâs house, this is Elrondâs workplace. There are at least three decanters and they are empty or almost empty. Seems like Elrond canât work without drinking, even now he holds a goblet. So who is an alcoholic?
Btw, Gandalf likes red wine too, thatâs a fact. But both Thranduil and Elrond never offered him a goblet of wine. Itâs normal for Thranduil to be so rude, but Elrond? Maybe Gandalf is an alcoholic indeed (a stoner and an alcoholic both, nice) and the Elvenlords know his secret.Â
