Consequences of no Barrow-Downs
I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but, has anyone else noted that since the barrow downs scene isn't in the movie, and the hobbits are just given ordinary swords by Aragorn that Merry and Eowyn wouldn't be able to kill the Witch-King because it was the barrow downs sword that was woven with spells by the men of Westernesse that finally broke the spell that held his body together and allowed him to be killed?
