How are these orcs even hitting these arrow blows against supposedly the best archers in their universe.

I chuckled a bit at how pathetic the Eregion elves handled themselves toward the end. The way the elves have been portrayed in the show has bugged me at times throughout the series.
I've always envisioned, elves as nearly flawless, wise, and powerful beings with centuries of experience. Yet, in RoP, they come off as naive, disorganized, and surprisingly vulnerable. Instead of embodying the legendary strength and resilience we've seen in other depictions, they seem to be constantly on the back foot, making poor decisions and failing to rise to their own standards.
It feels like a missed opportunity to showcase the grandeur and competence that should define the elven race.
