You are objectively wrong.

It felt perfectly IN place, (witch king says "no man can kill me") it was satisfying AF especially in the extended version, it was a clever payoff for both characters, and not a single person in the theaters laughed at that part. Sure, there were some smiles but it was because that scene showcases a strong female win in the most SATISFYING way possible.

And it wasn't her line that made her able to kill the witch king... If you believe that, then you are both objectively wrong AND an idiot.

The Witch-King said "no Man can kill me". Race, not gender.

And yes, it was her line & gender that ultimately killed the Witch-King in the movie, because Tom Bombadil was basically written out and the Hobbits did not have their numenorean daggers, which is how Merry originally made this kill possible.

I cant be objectively wrong in my subjective opinion. I could also do without the unnecessary personal attacks.

I liked the scene in the blueray 2.1 extended version where the scene continued:

>Witch King: no man can kill me
Eowyn: I am no man
*Eowyn stabs the Witch King*
Witch King: Ackshually, the word "man" signifies a person in this case, not gender.
*Witch King kills Eowyn*
