Hey, here's a question, when the lady killed the Nazgul in that scene, did she mean "I am no man," because she was an elf, or did she just mean, dude can only be killed by a non-male?

Also to any of you loving witty future comedian motherfuckers playing on your top game today, "yes" isn't a valid answer

Going to be over here quietly losing my mind over the idea that someone thought the climactic duel in the LotR films hinged on the Lord of the Nazgul thinking the rando he was fighting was a human, which he had no reason to fear because there was a prophecy that he couldn't be killed by a human, and then it turned out that surprise, she was not a human :geno:

Like the entire dramatic twist was about the wordplay of the poetic wording of "man" squirming in the Nazgul's hands and biting him, that is what makes the entire thing ironic and surprising and funny and powerful and joyous instead of :effort:

Éowyn challenged the Witch-king, who boasted that "no living man may hinder me". In answer, she removed her helmet, releasing her hair, which "gleamed with pale gold upon her shoulders", and declared, "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter... Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."

In a rage, the Witch-king attacked her, but she clove the head of his winged steed. The Witch-king shattered her shield with a blow of his mace, breaking her arm, but stumbled when Merry stabbed his leg from behind with the Barrow-blade. Éowyn drove her sword through the Witch-king's head, killing him and fulfilling Glorfindel's prophecy from a thousand years earlier, at the Battle of Fornost, that "not by the hand of man" would the Witch-king fall.

Tolkien was probably inspired by MacBeth, where are character is foretold to be killed "not by man born of woman," but gets taken out by somebody born via c-section.

Gotta read the fine print on those death prophecies.

The rohirrim are modeled off of the old english royals and we had a period of a few hundred years with everyone fighting over the same half dozen syllables arranged in different orders for their names.

Her dad's name was Eomund and her brother's name was Eomer. Honestly the matchey matchey names is the bigger crime than calling your kid that name on its own. It's like a guy called Brian calling his kids Brianna and Bryce or some poo poo.

FYI being the Rohirram, their culture and language revolve around horses and Eo is a “modern” prefix for all things horse related. They name their children after their parents in a similar way to Icelandic surname tradition except the names also pay an homage or honor to horses.

The Beer Store holds a near monopoly on beer sales in Ontario and a literal monopoly on selling 24 cases of beer. They're owned by the same people who own bud and other piss water. It's heavily pushed by The Beer Store and if you ever been through a bad winter in Ontario, yeah, 24 cups of piss that get you blackout will make you dance a happy dance.
