I think this was also Tolkien looking at Macbeth and thinking there was a much easier solution to the whole “no man borne of woman” prophesy.

I will never forgive Jackson that he left out my most favorite and also important character, Tom Bombadil.

Dude you honestly just made me feel so much better about my depression 😭 I never made that connection between Eowyn and the Witch King, and I'm not sure you meant it in a 100% serious way - but in any case, it put a silver lining to my day. Cheers!

i know its a well used trope at this point but i love the theme of the powerful being defeated by the ordinary because they were underestimated or posessed traits that wouldnt cross the mind of a being so high and mighty. Tolkein really mastered it and knew how to weave it into a rich tapestry.

the prophecy is about merry actually. he used the barrow-blade to kill the witch king. eowyn's blade didn't have any magical enchantment, and therefore couldn't actually damage a wraith. she distracted the witch king, and merry actually killed him

After my 12 year old daughter finished the trilogy, she would say “I am no man” repeatedly everyday for weeks. 😄

If ever I had a daughter, I would have called her Eowyn. Wynnie for short! haha. But no such luck for me... 3 boys instead. 🙄

The best part is that the wights that captured the hobbits in the Barrow Down were reanimated by the Witch King's own sorcery, meaning in a roundabout way he orchestrated his own downfall.
