Another day, another fun prompt on Twitter that is getting folks riled up. Twitter user @ImranSZN took to the social media site today to ask a simple question, "Who has the greatest accuracy?" They shared photos of some of pop culture's most famous archers, including Legolas, Green Arrow, Hawkeye, and Katniss Everdeen. The Internet has spoken and Legolas is definitely the winner by a long shot, partly because he's older than the rest of the other characters combined (by a lot). However, all four fictional archers are currently trending on Twitter thanks to the prompt.

Before looking at some of the fun responses, you can check out the original tweet below:

Age Wins

Hawkeye, Katniss, Oliver Queen: regular humans with 50 years experience combined, max

Legolas Greenleaf: 2931 years old and a FUCKING ELF who can see riders on horseback almost 20 miles away when he's not trying https://t.co/HkFx3bSiVT pic.twitter.com/o733pXFdJa

A Little Love For Oliver

Tbh only the comic version of GA can be compared to Legolas.

The rest is an insult to the Elf

P.S. We need Legolas to come and do something to those flying planes in Orlu https://t.co/mBS54dqdty

The Stats Are There

Legolas didn’t parkour up an Oliphant, snipe the enemy archers, take the monster out, and then slide down the trunk (and into our hearts) for him to be compared to a CW protagonist https://t.co/SLf6YKesh2

We Need More Info

I'm going to need to see them shoot accurately from the back of a horse before I make my decision. #Merida https://t.co/PC99HkZpQK

Archer Accuracy

Legolas, not just because he is an elf gifted with elven accuracy, his stance is right. The way he holds the bow is right. Angle is a little... Well.

Still. Legolas tho. https://t.co/nGKuSJuexO

A Different Kind of Accuracy

Legolas isn't really described beyond "tall as a young tree" so hard to judge - Hawkeye is canonically deaf, which is a huge miss, and Katniss is supposed to have "straight black hair, olive skin, and grey eyes". Gotta give it to Arrow since all he's missing is a blonde goatee https://t.co/AecPW5aHeJ
