Zero One posted: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." I guess Merry is trans, because it sounds like that knife to the leg hindered him pretty well.

Subjunctive posted:Because trans men…aren’t men? I hope I’m misunderstanding your joke. no, the joke is that merry is secretly a woman. but really, it doesn't even take that. the prophecy is just that the witch-king cannot be KILLED by any man. it's okay for a man like merry to slice through his hamstring, though. doesn't say the witch-king can't be INJURED by any man.

It's what the return key on your keyboard does. Holdover from the days of electric typewriters when they added a button to return the carriage that the paper rides on to the left margin. Before that you had to push it back yourself.

Maybe nobody had stabbed him in the face before, and it was his natural weakness? Much like Judge Dredd punching Fear.
