The Nazgul: do you feel they made them look weak? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

On topic I thought the Nazgul were well done, but as far as Frodo's inability to stab the Witch King in the foot was because he didn't have the proper sword. He got the elven blade at the Barrow and it would be a bit of a problem trying to explain how this sword was able to injure a Nazgul, even though the name Elendil was better in repelling them, but once again we are dealing with an uneducated public.<BR>And, yes, I know that Aragorn fights them with his sword in the movie, but that was probably more to defend himself from their swords.
