Show-off!

What was the Orc at the bottom of the stairs thinking, towards whom Legolas was sliding down the stairs on the shield?

He's cool... oh no he's gonna kill me!

What were the elves thinking when they saw Legolas on the shield?

Those Mirkwood Elves are strange!

What did the Mûmak in the movie version of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields think about Legolas's antics at the time?

They found it much more relaxing to "hunt" for inanimate Olvar.

Well, after the 'mishap' with bucket, and the 'incident' with the Palantír, he thought he would stay out of trouble if he kept him close ...... wrongly as it turned out.

Why did Legolas leave the comforts of his Father's palace?

Thranduil, his dad, told him to look for a Dúnedain named "Strider" at the end of BoFA. The not-yet-so-named "Strider" was only 10 years old in 2941, and later became a very wide-ranging Ranger. So when Legolas finally arrived in Imladris in time to become one of the nine companions of The Fellowship in 3018, he had been searching for "Strider" for 77 years - not really a long time by Elf standards, but I would guess that Legolas was still relieved (and perhaps war a wee bit grumpy about the quest dad had sent him on).

Why, in contrast to Legolas being the sole woodland Elf present at the Council of Elrond, were the Dwarves represented by two emissaries - Gloin and his son Gimli?

Hey Gando, I have a fanfic explaining that!

It was because Legolas was "I can do it" that Thranduil hated to torture his normal emissaries by making them accompany the prince.

Because they love the smell of dragonfire, and so want to be as near to the Lonely Mountain as possible without becoming appetisers.

Why it is really called the 'Lonely' Mountain?

If anyone had happened to look out of a window on the east side of the palace, they might have noticed two figures in the darkness, dancing in a square bordered by living plants, out of time with the dancers inside but perfectly in time with each other.

Question?? I just reply to the last one.

Well all the other mountains had friends but on creation day (when the music of the Ainur made the world), they had a mountain newcomers meet and greet. The Lonely Mountain missed the event so no one talked to him because they didn't know him. He wasn't even accepted into the social groups, such as the racist "White" mountain group, or the mountains that thought they were (and I quote) "well 'ard" and called themselves the iron mountains.
Yes the lonely mountain was quite all alone.

How did the greatest of the Elves not realise that Annatar was a slightly dodgy ring salesman?

The smiths realised that making rings wasn't as great as Annatar made out, and kind of just couldn't be bothered.

Why was Narvi such good friends with Celebrimbor?

Celebrimbor and the Elves went on a celebratory drinking spree after completing the Dwarf and Elf rings and were too hung-over to be trusted with it.

Haha, very good

To be honest the ring didn't want him, in that respect the ring is quite normal.

Why did the Dead Men of Dunharrow want to be released from being dead?

Obviously, Dead Men of Dunharrow was a misconception of the Rohirrim. They were, what much later Ages realized much more easily, undead (what Sir Christopher Lee RIP portrayed better than anyone except Bela Lugosi).
So as became clear, they wanted to get out of their limbo status and finally leave those clammy caves.

Why did Bilbo really hand over the One Ring to Frodo (not personally, as the Red Book states, but via an envelope)?

Because the ring had started calling him 'Bilbo the Bonka' so he got rid of the creepy ring.

I would like to point out that she didn't. It was Glorfindel, but if we are talking about the film and for the purposes of this game...) she wanted to show her father that she was just as good as her brothers who always got to go out and fight and save people. It was the same reason she almost went to Helm's deep. (Thank god PJ didn't do that...)

Why did Radagast become so different to the other wizards in terms of his solitary nature, and his overly strong love of animals?

Radagast was actually sent to Middle Earth by the Valar to keep tabs on what the other four wizards were up to. He did loose contact with the two blue wizards who went east, but the animals taught him how to camouflage himself when snooping on Gandalf and Saruman. Thus he was extremely grateful for their helpful tips.

Why did Gandalf (twice, in the two trilogies!) capture a (slow!) butterfly to be his messenger?

Since flyingarrow forgot to post a new question, I will answer Gando's as well.

Because he had a fondness for bugs.

Gimli was simply not paying attention to such irrelevancies, as he was still totally gaga about having received three locks of Galadriel's hair.

He actually liked having Legolas' hair in his face, because then he could chew on it, thus making the elf mad.

Well, when she carried the heavy pot of stew out for dinner, she threw out her back and found sleeping on a bench in the hall helped ease her discomfort.

Why did Aragorn think Gimli could keep up with Legolas and himself when he decided to go after Merry and Pippin?

He knew that Aragorn had left his computer in Moria so that he couldn't Skype with Arwen, so he decided to be nice and give him a picture for the road.
