how the oliphaunts were killed. Legolas was just showing off at that point.
I think Eowyn cutting the hamstrings was worse for me. Or Eomer spearing the guy who fell off and starting swinging by a rein attached to the oliphaunt's ear. A few arrows to the brain is quick and painless, making the poor thing collapse upon itself, or yanking it's poor ear like that...owie.
Legolas surfing down the trunk, though,
that was showing off. I half expected him to say, "Whoa!" after doing that little Keanu-esque head move.
