I have seen this film at least 25 times and truthfully never ever ever saw Jackson as suggesting that Eowyn was trying to kick the behind of Aragorn. But again, its all in perspective and everyone is entitled to their own.

Oh, lol, StW! You continue to surprise me...but this time, it's with your apparent naivety. I never use the terminology I did above...I may safely say this is the first time I have ever used it, and I thought for sure that you, who has taught and been around kids and young people, would know what it meant. Oh well.

Well... it is good to keep them wondering.

Having been away from the classroom for a solid two years now, I (hopefully) have left all the slang and youth verbage behind forever.

I agree; Mohammed wasn't a warrior at all. He was a common highwayman.

To say that Eowyn could have beaten Aragorn with any kind of weapon is nonsense, despite all her girl power and intense emotions concerning the matter. In that particular scene, however, one did get the sense that Eowyn had perhaps gotten the drop on Aragorn - but only because he wasn't really fighting.

Were he trying to kill Eowyn, there would be nothing easier, being superior to Eowyn in almost every way imaginable. Aragorn was in his prime, and had been leading armies into battle before Eowyn was born, gosh darn it.
