Would Yea Forums sperg out if this came out today?

i recognize will smith, morgan freeman, beyonce, don cheetos and (I think) terrance howard. no idea who the rest are

it was retarded in the book as well

I still don't understand how it works. Merry stabbed WK with a burrow blade, and then Eowyn finished him with a regular sword. Did the burrow blade dispelled his regular weapon immunity? What significance does "no man" bear in all of this?

>Cuba Gooding Jr.

Fucking kek

Would deffo roll my eyes over the stupid "I ain't no woman" line

It was honest and earned, so I wouldnt.

I dont hate women heroes. I actually like them a lot. What I hate is "affirmative action heroics"

>I AM ROHAN!

no shit you stupid bitch, we know you are from rohan, did this bother anyone else more than the fact she killed the white walker?

Almost as dumb as Sauron getting defeated because he exposed his ring to the enemy.

“No man” is just a cheeky prophecy, he was in the end killed by a hobbit and a woman

>Did the burrow blade dispelled his regular weapon immunity?
Kind of, it's more that it did enough damage to weaken him.
>What significance does "no man" bear in all of this?
None actually, it's just a prophecy that uses clever wordplay. He wasn't killed by a very specific definition of man, and nobody took that definition into account. It's a similar kind of wordplay as "speak friend, and enter", Tolkien loved that shit.

It's different in the books. She doesn't just go "IMMA KILL YOU WIT MUH VAGINIA"

>But Théoden was not utterly forsaken. The knights of his house lay slain about him.... Yet one stood there still: Dernhelm the young, faithful beyond fear; and he wept, for he had loved his lord as a father.
>Right through the charge Merry had been borne unharmed behind him, until the Shadow came; and then Windfola had thrown them in his terror.... Merry crawled on all fours like a dazed beast, and such a horror was on him that he was blind and sick.... He dared not open his eyes or look up.
>Then out of the blackness in his mind he thought that he heard Dernhelm speaking; yet now the voice seemed strange, recalling some other voice that he had known.
>'Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!'
>A cold voice answered: 'Come not between the Nazgûl and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye.'
>A sword rang as it was drawn. 'Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may.'
>'Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!'
>Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed.... 'But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.'

>The winged creature screamed at her, but the Ringwraith made no answer, and was silent, as if in sudden doubt. Very amazement for a moment conquered Merry's fear. He opened his eyes and the blackness was lifted from them. There some paces from him sat the great beast..., and above it loomed the Nazgûl Lord like a shadow of despair.
>A little to the left facing them stood she whom he had called Dernhelm. But the helm of her secrecy had fallen from her, and her bright hair... gleamed with pale gold upon her shoulders. Her eyes grey as the sea were hard and fell, and yet tears were on her cheek. A sword was in her hand, and she raised her shield against the horror of her enemy's eyes.
>Éowyn it was, and Dernhelm also. For into Merry's mind flashed the memory of the face that he saw at the ridingfrom Dunharrow: the face of one that goes seeking death, having no hope. Pity filled his heart..., and suddenly the slow-kindled courage of his race awoke. >He clenched his hand. She should not die, so fair, so desperate. At least she should not die alone, unaided.
>The face of their enemy was not turned towards him, but still he hardly dared to move.... Slowly, slowly he began to crawl aside; but the Black Captain, in doubt and malice intent upon the woman before him, heeded him no more than a worm in the mud.
>Suddenly the great beast beat its hideous wings.... Again it leaped into the air, and then swiftly fell down upon Éowyn, shrieking, striking with beak and claw.
>Still she did not blench: maiden of the Rohirrim, child of kings..., fair but terrible. A swift stroke she dealt, skilled and deadly. The outstretched neck she clove asunder, and the hewn head fell like a stone. Backward she sprang as the huge shape crashed to ruin, vast wings outspread, crumpled on the earth; and with its fall the shadow passed away. A light fell about her, and her hair shone in the sunrise.

>Out of the wreck rose the Black Rider, tall and threatening, towering above her. With a cry of hatred that stung the very ears like venom he let fall his mace. Her shield was shivered in many pieces, and her arm was broken; she stumbled to her knees. He bent over her like a cloud, and his eyes glittered; he raised his mace to kill.
>But suddenly he too stumbled forward with a cry of bitter pain, and his stroke went wide, driving into the ground. Merry's sword had stabbed him from behind, shearing through the black mantle, and passing up beneath the hauberk had pierced the sinew behind his mighty knee.
>'Éowyn! Éowyn!' cried Merry. Then tottering, struggling up, with her last strength she drove her sword between crown and mantle, as the great shoulders bowed before her. The sword broke sparkling into many shards. The crown rolled away with a clang. Éowyn fell forward upon her fallen foe. But lo! the mantle and hauberk were empty. Shapeless they lay now on the ground...; and a cry went up into the shuddering air, and faded to a shrill wailing..., a voice bodiless and thin that died, and was swallowed up, and was never heard again in that age of this world.

It felt earned and played with the Wraith King's boast well. So no, not upset.

Eowyn's character has more depth in the book.
In the whole movie she is just mooning over Aragorn.

Considering it was close to the source material, and didn't diminish any of the other characters I would say no.

And she didn't jut teleport and kill him.
It happened in a sequence and wouldn't have been possible without Merry.
Only brainlets will defend GoT.

I think you're getting Terrence Howard confused with Cuba Gooding Jr.
Cuba's the one with the Oscar
Terrence is the one with the microdick who doesn't know his one times table.

>Cuba's the one with the Oscar Terrence is the smartest being who ever lived
ftfy

I'm eternally mad

this is problematic
why is the strong womyn tearing up and in fear and laughing welcoming death?
she should have no flaws or weaknesses while she takes down the patriarchy, UNAIDED

I can't not laugh at the last panel everytime

>Did the burrow blade dispelled his regular weapon immunity?
Yep, it disable spells which bonded Witch King spirit with world.
>What significance does "no man" bear in all of this?
Not adult male human. Eowyn wasn't a male, but was a human, Merry was a male, but not human

Such is the curse of arrogance that even the most cautious make a fatal mistake where they only had to stand tall and win.

That is to say. Sauron was all powerful and thought himself invincible didn't see his obvious mistake because surely he "the all powerful" could not make one.

I mean come on lad, this is bad guy trope 101
