Orlegolando is invincible, right?

...well, at least, that's what the movies make it seem like...

If the Tolkien Legolas had bruises, they were bruises. But Mr. Bloomleaf is such a perfect hot blond [a very long and not very nice list] idiotic elf toy sidekick, that a bruise on him is just impossible.

I know I sound really cynical, but that's what it is: book and movie Legolas are like an apple and an orange.
