LotR book:

LotR book:
>“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 shriveled 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, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel.
>“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.”

LotR movie:
>HURR DURR I AM NO MAN

Why is Jackson such a hack?

The most interesting question is what was his tax policy?

is this the incel thread?

it is now that you're here

First one's too long and fucks with the pacing of the movie. Second one is just a quick quip. Nothing wrong here.

OHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT

BUCKET SHOES HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

shes about to die
>still calls the Ringwraith by all his titles.
Tolkien's autism was off the fucking scale.

>I will smite you, if you touch him.”
That made it into the movie, at least.

Tolkien is cringe than anime.

Eowyn's response in the book is way too long. Tolkien was a hack writer but great at story creation.

There was nothing wrong with it, back in those days people were polite and would let each other finish talking before killing them.

He went full hack when the mumakils appeared.

It's a fucking film, not a play. If it was a play, sure I could see how you'd want the lines to match up with the book, but it's a fucking movie.

this, the point remains the same, she was no man, there's no need for her to repeat her titles and all, it is fine for tolkien's book, but it's way too long for the movie

Tolkien adored language. Jackson adored cannabis.

>that book quote
Holy fucking based. How can modern fantasy writers compete with Tolkein?

By being named Patrick Rothfuss.

Needs a 15 minute flashback to nazgul's sad childhood.

It actually did, the Nazgul was Isildur.

>reciting a speech in the middle of a battleground when your side is losing
yeah that would have been great

Better question, why did his helmet crumple like it was getting sucked into a portal? What was that all about?

The one in the book was a reveal, up to that point Dernhelm was just some guy that seemed to be hiding something, thus the “No living man I am” is Eowyn revealing her identity to the reader.
In the film, we already know it’s Eowyn from the beginning, so there is no identity to be revealed, thus the phrase comes off as “GRRL POWR” stuff.

the force of him imploading was so great it twisted his armor inward, i thought it was wicked cool.
