<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I mean what I said when I said that the Nazgul are indestructible, though I should have added "except by prophesy, destruction of the ring and prolonged exposure to songs about Elbereth".<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well...I must say Éowyn wields prophesy pretty well! <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Sure, they fled from Aragorn who was wielding a couple of firebrands, but they fled unscathed, except for the Witchking who got hurt by Frodo's utterance <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Who says they fled unscathed? And why do you roll your eyes that the Witchking was wounded by Frodo’s cry?<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Now, in the book we are told that the nine Nazgul attacked Gandalf at night, and there were a great fire show on Weathertop just before Frodo & co. arrived. Yet, Gandalf could not withstand against all the nine, and was chased after by just four! Do I see some imbalance of physical and magical power down here?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>As I recall, Gandalf drew them off that way. And Aragorn battled five of them. Gandalf was not beset by five, but nine.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Nazgul cannot be hurt by normal weapons except when induced by prophesy (not that we are told that in the film)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>The prophesy itself did not bear any affect on how the Witchking died. It was merely a prediction of HOW the Witchking was to die...not by the hand of living man.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> By the way, the Nazgul did not just use fear as a weapon, though it worked best most of the time. The Witchking used his sorcery to break Frodo's sword and make him dumb and Black Breath is even more horrible.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Go back and read the description of the Nazgûl. Fear is their main weapon.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Urm, I guess I really need to tone down my voice on this... it is not very nice to whine about the films even when if I like the book. I guess I am the only one about who like to whine on the Nazgul though<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I bear you no ill will, but yeah, I think you’re probably one of only a few.<BR>[IMG]<P>[ 10:13 PM February 09, 2004: Message edited by: Knight of Gondor ]<p>[ 10:17 PM February 09, 2004: Message edited by: Knight of Gondor ]
