: No, I don't think that women naturally like Legolas best. Gandalf is the coolest amoung the characters! Legolas really didn't do much as an individual in the stories. He fights in the battles and supports the other members of the fellowship, but he really doesn't have his own moment of glory. I mean the other characters all have their shining moments, but Gandalf outshines them all.
: BOW TO THE GLORY THAT IS GANDALF!!!!!!!!

Now, in Legolas' defense, he does do some rather cool tricks with his bow. He shoots a couple wolves, a Nazgul flying creature and a whole bunch of orcs all at night, so that's not too bad for a single elf out alone among the world. Gandalf took on the Balrog, and died, then came back, but I don't recall him doing anything as physically skillful as Legolas (though coming back from the dead is no mean physical trick!!). ;)
