I think it mattered to the people of Gondor at the time of war! Anyway, the two were about to draw fire with fire in the book - a direct confrontation of powers of Good & Evil. In this kind of scenario where the stakes are very high the victor is usually the Good one with the higher order of power, although the film did not follow this order of course. To see Gandalf so easily overmatched by the Witch-King in the film was a huge disappointment for his character, unlike his encounter with Saruman & the Balrog in the first movie.
By the way, how would you have gone about filming this scene Essex & nafforc?
