Okay I know we always go on about Marvel’s uncanny casting ability.

But if you thought they were the only ones, let me draw your attention to this man:

Viggo Mortensen, aka Aragorn son of Arathorn, aka Sexiest Ranger in Middle Earth

would hike, often for more than a day, to remote filming locations, in costume, for the sake of authenticity

was the best swordsman Bob Anderson (swordsmaster/instructor for LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) says he has ever trained

occasionally writes poetry (more book!canon than film!canon but um hello)

does all his own stunts

lived all over and speaks about 23940209384 languages

you know that scene at the end of Fellowship when he’s fighting the Uruk-hai? And one throws a dagger at him and he hits it away with his sword? Yeah, the guy who threw it was supposed to miss, but accidentally threw it directly at Viggo. Who just casually Aragorned and hit it away.

They actually cast Aragorn to play Aragorn

@aelesia here’s the story: Samhain Tonight, the great fire at Tlachtga is ignited. The festival of Samhain is here. Caught between the two halves of the year, while not belonging to the old year or the new, Samhain is suspended in time. The harvest has been reaped and the season of light fades into winter’s dark approach. Circle the fire in dance and celebration and see the bonfire’s flames rise higher. On this eve of Samhain, the earthly world of the living is hopelessly entangled with the world of the dead. The sun has set and the gates between the mortal and spirit worlds swing open. Donn, the Lord of the Dead, now walks the earth with spirits both peaceful and sinister in nature. Like a wall of protection the bonfires brilliant flames ward off most, but take caution, evil can easily find a way to break free. Into the world evil spirits emerge, swirling around like the icy breath of a banshee, wreaking havoc on this Samhain eve. Force these malicious spirits away, for it is known that at the close of this night they could drag you back to the abyss. With the evil spirits at bay, it is now time for the fires to be relit in the hearths of the ancestor’s home. Samhain, while an eve of uncertainty, is also a time to be reunited with those dearly departed. For a brief moment even lost love can enjoy one last dance that is both enchanting and harrowing to behold. As the great fire dwindles to embers, the end draws near. The souls circle back and the fires are doused. Samhain comes to a somber close as the spirits take one last breath of life before returning to the land of their own. Gather around the flames at Tlachtga together for protection, for on this night the veil between the living and the dead is to be lifted.

I think the reason why Tolkien keeps referring to “the bow of Legolas” and “the voice of Legolas” and “the arrows of Legolas” is that he doesn’t want to write “Legolas’s”
