"No man can kill me"
And that idiot runs into the only woman on the battlefield.
And the only hobbit out there.
He do not run to the Woman, he want to kill the King, an then, she comes
It's the special dagger
Neymar the golden boy the Dúnedain made the dagger and Aragon gave it to him.
I think it had very little to do with the dagger, actually. Neither Merry or Eowyn are "Men". He is a Hobbit and she is a woman. He was doomed the moment he landed lol.
In the book, the blade Merry stabs the Witch-King with is enchanted blade he picked up from the Barrow Downs, that has enchanted magic to disspell Wraiths. It was through this that weakened him allowing Eowyn to land the killing blow.
You’re reading more into it than is on the page.
@@florbfnarb7099 "So passed the sword of the Barrow-downs, work of Westernesse. But glad he would have been to know its fate who wrought it slowly long ago in the North-kingdom when the Dunedain were young, and chief among their foes was the dread realm of Angmar, and its sorcerer king. No other blade, though mightier hands had wielded it, would have dealt that foe a wound so bitter, cleaving the undead flesh, breaking the spell that knit his unseen sinews to his will." Return of the King, page 826
@@DonMeaker - Yes, good quote. Certainly the spells on the sword contributed. But it says no other sword would have bit as deep, not that no other sword could bite at all.
Surely if Hurin or Turin in their prime had attacked him, they wouldn’t have been powerless. Same for Fingolfin, Feanor, Beleg Strongbow, and some others.
To say that the Witch-King would be slain by no man is not to say he COULD be slain by no man. I (almost assuredly) will not die by asphyxiating on the surface of Mars, but that doesn’t mean I CAN’T be killed by asphyxiating on Mars.
@@florbfnarb7099 so in other words, you were wrong
@@florbfnarb7099 hold this.
Somewhere, Glorfindel was like: "Called it."
I love how in this scene she is accurately portrayed. Yes she has a bit of a clumsy stance and technique to her fighting style, but it wasn't about being a great fighter.. it was a critical moment in time where someone had to stand up and show courage, and face down evil.
This is the bottom line of a lot of the heroic acts in the lotr that a lot of people just completely miss, hyperfixating on power levels and strength comparisons.
the most extreme case of assuming someone's gender ever
The most extreme results and outcome!
Are you a hipster
Reeeeeeeeeee
Best gender reveal ever
I'm surprised no one seems to have mentioned how he deflates like a balloon.
I have always thought it was like all his previous battle wounds caught up with him at once. The Witch King of Angmar was nigh indestructible.
Actually I'd say his death bore all the hallmarks of an implosion. Like a submarine at crush depth.
WWI metaphors people, he'd killed so much that there was no man left beneath the armor.
I always noticed that too. I think it was probably because he was mainly a spirit held together by the power of the ring (not the One) and his servitude to Sauron. Once he was released from that bond, nothing was left to anchor his spirit, and so his physical form just crumbled.
Jared Poon The thing his he didnt completely didnt hes body just got wrecked ir was only a matter of time before he got a new phisical body because their power is so entertwined with Sauron that you cant permanently kill Nazgul just destroy their body unless you kill Sauron then the Nazgul will die like anyone else
The death of the Witch King was caused by the dagger given to Merry by Aragorn at Weathertop, but in the books he gets his from the Barrow-Downs. They're old relics from the Northern Kingdom of men, Arnor. In Arnor the Witch King gained power in the northernmost fortress of Angmar, from there he took out Arnor, by great cunning and deceit.
As taken from the book,
""Doubtless the Orcs despoiled them, but feared to keep the knives, knowing them for what they are: work of Westernesse, wound about with spells for the bane of Mordor." - Aragorn"
He was made vunerable by Merry and received the killing blow by Éowyn. Teamwork, man. If she hadn't slain his fel beast there wouldn't have been even a chance.
this isnt about the righteousness of a woman warrior - the enchanted dagger/sword was made specifically to slay the thing - leave 21st century gender stuff right out of this
nah it wasn´t if that was the case the witchking would have died on weathertop were frodo stabbed him with one of the knives.
thank u for the explanation
@DANIEL NORMAN its because sadly Tom Bombadil would not test well with modern audiences. His whole thing is some silly babyish "hey diddle diddle" singsongy nonsense. I mean don't get me wrong I love the guy! I wish to God he had been included in the Fellowship of the Rings... but sadly I think the decision to cut him was out of cinematic flow-of-story and general audience attention concerns.
"No man can kill me."
Treebeard steps on him.
Wrong narrative, this is about vagina power!
@@BoopSnoot Not really, the point is that he took an ancient prophecy too seriously, and a combination of a hobbit with an enchanted dagger specifically designed to kill undead and a woman ended up killing him. This wasn't one of those generic "girl power" moments like in avengers endgame
Treebeard can step on me.
Hmmm...
Fits the prophecy. Legal, admitted. Treebeard! Get here!
"You fool. No tree can kill me."
"Tree?! I am no tree!" *Stomps*
“No man can kill me”
*Wanders into the ONLY 2 PEOPLE IN AN ARMY OF 6 THOUSAND who aren’t men!*
What about undead? If I were him I would have been out of there when the black ships arrived!
For those who didn’t read the book, merry’s dagger/sword was from a crypt, and was specially made by a people who fought the witch king and his forces. This was what broke the witch king’s defense’s, though some theorize eowin being female helped as well.
It's not that the Witch King could only be killed by a woman. It's that the prophecy said that he would be killed by a woman.
Anybody could've theoretically killed him after he was weakened by the magical dagger. It just happened to be a Eowyn's destiny.
On a side note, I find it fascinating Merry's barrow blade had a more powerful enchantment on it than Sting. Barrow blades can undo Sauron's necromancy.
@@jdamommio Technically, hobbits are a race of men but, that wasn't my point. My point was that the WK thought that the prophecy was about who couldn't kill him when it was actually about who would eventually kill him.
A powerful warrior like Aragorn was fully capable of killing the WK, especially with the sword that defeated Sauron. It just wasn't fated to happen that way.
It's like prophecies from Ancient greenk
No man will kill him
He Is killed by an Hobbit and a woman
As a Ringwraith, one of his most powerful weapons was fear, and when Eowyn showed no fear and even killed his fell beast, that was the start of his being thrown off-guard. Merry followed that up with an unexpected backstab with a blade basically made to kill him, and lastly, the prophecy didn’t say a woman would kill him. It says no man would kill him. So, it was a lot more than “just” her courage, “just” Merry’s barrow blade, or “just” the technicality in the prophecy. It was fate/ the will of Eru Iluvatar (the God of that universe) bringing all of those factors together against evil for the sake of His second-born children (human kind) whose god-given qualities of bravery, camaraderie, love, and the urgency of a mortal life all rose up to meet the moment, like they were made to do
Interesting how both bases are covered as far as prophecies working out. Merry is a Hobbit, not a man so he could've killed the Witch-King. But also, Eowyn uses the classic "detail of prophecy that is misinterpreted or overlooked" trope to kill the Witch King. Everyone assumes that when it was said, "his death shall not come by the hand of man" (or something to that effect), that it meant the human race. In reality, it meant man as in the gender.
+Jalaras Studios lol worse than that! because of the arrogance of princes, they assumed it was immunity from both the race and the gender, which meant they pretty much thought their options were:
An Entwife: They left
Dwarf Women: They don't exist.
or Elf Women: They probably assumed Galadriel would eventually get around to it. Especially being neighbors with Dol Guldur. But she never did!
or Hobbit Women: Srsly? No.
.......
.......
(By the way someone now needs to write a fanfiction now where Rose Cotton chases after Sam after hearing about Cirith Ungol and totally destroys the Witch-King along the way) (Or Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. With a frying pan.) (Or Belladonna Took with a damn lightsaber because Gandalf was totes reckless gifting shit to Old Gerotinus Took)
+Jalaras Studios No she didnt kill him.. it was Merry he had a Dagger of the Barrow Wights that lifted his ,,immunity buff'' And thats why Eowyn could kill him! np!
Actually eowyn not being a man didn't change anything. Merrys barrow blade is like enbued with magic and so when he stabbed the witch king in the foot it made it so he could be killed. If merry hadn't stabbed him eowyns sword would have done nothing
Trope? This is the OG. Everything else is a cliché of this.
Shushunovafan Actually it's somewhat has its roots in Shakespeare and Macbeth, with Macbeth being told that no man born from a woman can kill him.
Witch King : No man can kill me
Eowyn : "I am a woman"
Wait...did the Witch king just die because of a grammatical loop hole ?
I dunno if you're a troll, but she said "I am no man."
It's not saying a man can never kill him at all. The prophecy was literally telling the future saying he won't be killed by a "man”. It was slightly misinterpreted by the witch king to his cost. If a man had the same magic sword he would have killed him
+Brandon Layne Yup! Correct :) Prophecies don't usually elaborate on rules!!
no, he died because a Hobbit killed him.
It's like that one line in Shakespeare Scottish Play. (Tolkien loved Shakespeare.) "no man born of woman". The character in question figured that, since every man came from a woman at some point, it meant he was invincible. In the end, he was killed by a guy who's mother had a c-section.
"I am no man!"
*stab*
WK- "prove it..."
*zzzzzip*
WK: "WORTH IT!" *Dies*
Did she really have to take off her helmet before attacking?
+anthony z show him that she was no man lol
+nytolstoy that's no proof, I mean loads of guys around here have long hair, and those elves could pass as female sometime...he was waiting for some chesticles or something
Hahaha freaking brilliant xD
~ Here lies the Witch-King of Angmar. No man could ever kill him. ~
"Do not pursue him! He will not return to this land. Far off yet is his doom and not by the hand of man will he fall."
Fulfilled...
People can say it was actually Merry who did it or call it SJW because Eowyn stabbed him... but what makes this work, IMO, is how the prophecy twist is unclear. Was the Witch King killed by Eowyn, a woman, stabbing him in the face while Merry just primed the strike? Or was the Witch King killed by Merry, a hobbit, shanking him in the leg with a (in the books) magic sword, and Eowyn just delivered the blow of grace where anyone could have done it? Where was the prophecy applied?
Personally, I say "Does it matter?" - that's not what the scene is about. For Eowyn's part, it's about standing up to something she is quite obviously afraid of (look at her face when the Witch King breaks out his flail if you doubt it). For Merry's part, it's not yielding and doing whatever he could to help a friend even if it got his head stomped in (if the WK had been reacting after the stab, Merry was one dead hobbit). And together they brought down one of the most fearsome creatures in Middle Earth.
So I say let them both share the kill - they both earned it! And let this be a lesson that prophecy is not something to take for granted since if you are vague enough, it can mean anything fulfills it!
As an aside, having read the book and seen the movie, this is definitely a scene the movie improved on because Eowyn is very much afraid yet standing up regardless. That is far more inspiring than simply not giving a shit about dying as she did in the book; same end result, but one requires volumes more courage than the other.
nah it was Ewoyn Merry just distracted him long enough in the Books, if that Dagger was so deadly he would have died on Weathertop when Frodo stabbed him with his.
Still only counts as 1
It annoys the hell out of me that people call this "SJW" because (shock!) he was killed by a woman. It's like the incels just can't STAND that a female took out an opponent that even had Gandalf freaked out, so they've got to try to diminish her or pull her down by whatever means possible so they can feel better about themselves. To those bleating "SJW!" social justice wasn't even HEARD of when Tolkien was writing his books, he was simply an author who respected women. Sit down, shut up, and LET HER PLAY.
IMO, who cares. He died, they didn't. On to the next chump.
I feel the book was better. But your take works for you.
the Witch-King shouldn't brag about his invulnerability against Men.
Afterall, besides the very obvious fact that a Woman (and a Hobbit) defeated him...
He lives in a universe where Elves (like Legolas, Elrond, Galadriel, Celeborn), Uruk-hai, Orcs, Trolls, Ents (like Treebeard), Dwarves (Gimli, Thorin, Balin), Eagles (Gwahir), Shape-shifters (like Beorn), Wizards (like Gandalf, Radagast, and Saruman).... are all not (by definition) categorized under the Middle-Earth species known as MAN!
+Shred Ric Aragorn would struggle.. funnily enough.
To be fair Aragorn would also struggle upon seeing a Men's bathroom sign
Eowyn being a woman isn't the reason he died, by no "man" can kill me he means a human
He had a blessing on him that made him untouchable, however Merry had a special dagger that Aragorn gave him that undid his blessing, then when he became killable Eowyn killed him. Her gender played no effect
Played, because the propecy "Witch king killed by an woman and an hobbit"
no man can kill me .....8falls off horse off a cliff and just dies takes sauron weeks to find out the hell happened*
Tolkien was doing this sort of thing before it was cool
Right
If they made LotR today, Eowyn would be insufferable. She’d be shaming her brother and uncle for their patriarchy and Aragorn for “toxic masculinity.” And Brie Larson would have gotten the role.
@@florbfnarb7099 no doubt.
@@florbfnarb7099 it's sad really, you couldn't do this nowadays without eyes rolling across the globe. Brie larson is poison to cinema
@@florbfnarb7099 and you're completely right about the in world lecturing. I hate when writers/directors do that
When the Witch King was haunted down by the men of Gondor and the elves of Rivendell, at the battle of the North. The young Gondorian prince chased the Witch King but Glorfindel stopped him, realizing that the Witch King was a Nazgul. He said to the young prince, He will not return to this land. Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall'.
-Hope it helps!
I love how the misfits of the Rohan army ended up taking this guy down, especially since they were both told they had no place being on the battlefield and would be a liability.
When it turns out they saved the day. 😊
Little known fact: it was actually merry stabbing the witch king in the leg that allowed him to die. The daggar was built to strip him of his invulnerability.
wrong the dagger did just hurt him nothing more otherwise he would have died on weathertop where frodo stabed him with his.
@@karlzuhlke3114 Tolkien literally said what OP is saying. Frodo's dagger obviously wasn't enchanted in the same way as Merry's.
@@karlzuhlke3114 someone didn't read the books
Takes helmet off. "I am no man." Stabs in the face! Eowyn is a badass. Can't believe Aragorn rejected her for boring Arwen.
+SJMJ91 Faramir is the real winner!
For having the emotionally and physically stronger, far more attractive and more important woman, absolutely!
Hell Yeah! I gotta admit, this is why I love Tolkein... It's not just the great things like the grand universe he brought to life in his books. But it's also the small things like these that show how much he cares for his art. For him to let Faramir & Eowyn, two characters who have been through so much during the War of the Ring and unite them because they would be better for each other.
These two are my favourite characters a long with Sam in the books, and to see them stand strong together does make me happy.
Sorry about that, I just had to let that one out. ;) and I'd pick Eowyn over Arwen any day!
Not in the books xD
Thanks, But I don't need a serf that after eat the books start saing I don't give nothing to eat ;)
I can hear Gimli, that still only counts as one!
You think the Witch-King would have taken the deal had he known how he would die?
"Alright, so this cursed ring I made to trick you and eight of your mates into serving me is gonna make you a cool badass with the sickest helmet ever who rides a flying worm monster, but the MOMENT you get stabbed in the face you're gonna painfully collapse in on yourself, your bones snapping as a black hole rips you apart from the inside out, until there's nothing left of you but your dusty cloak. If that sounds good, just sign here on the dotted line..."
Haha and he's just like, "Aight sounds good."
Saddest moment in this movie was the Witch King of Angmar being defeated. Q_Q
i know i wanted to punch that chick in the face
Wait, what? Why? (If you don't mind me asking)
What? Why? Are you Sauron? Morgoth? Who are you?
Honestly even though it's bloodless the Witch-King's death is one of the most gruesome deaths.
Classic. Just once it would be nice to see the villain win with all their lieutenants surviving...lol. A nice Warhammer 40k grimdark ending.
One thing I love about this is how the Witch-king of Angmar's body just like implodes on itself-complete with his Sauron-esque helmet crumpling inwards like a soda can-until it just collapses like an empty suit of armor after Eowyn delivers the killing blow. Even if the only reason he stayed "dead" after this is because Sauron was defeated before the Nazgul's body could reform itself, the effect in this scene is executed so perfectly, it seems at first entirely plausible that the Witch-king effectively died right here.
"RIDICULOUS! Why would an ultimate Dark Lord just get destroyed by two novices, two nobodies?? Super disappointing and bad!!!!"
You guys really don't get these stories, do you?
A Nazgul say : Our work has been done , we should go now and the rest boss will deal with it. Other Nazgul say : Yes surely
Merry never gets the credit he deserves for this.
Thus Glorfindels prophecy came to pass
"That still only counts as 1"
Truly iconic line right there.
Imagine running into the only Hobbit and Woman in the entire battlefield
not the only hobbit but probably only women.
What timing
This comment section need more book readers -.-
Nischay K My god I know right. The number of comments saying “herp derp it’s so stupid that the Witch-king died to an UNTRAINED WOMAN” is alarming.
Chap didn't last a minute on the battle field. God whooped by a woman
Absolutely a great telling of the story, but if Peter Jackson would have told the story in it’s entirety, he would still be filming it…
What about Merry, technically he's not a man but a Hobbit. I wonder if the rule applies to him as well?
BlueBoy0316 He's a halfing, hence half a man, which is why he was able to wound him - not kill him, but wound him enough so that Eowyn could strike the finishing blow.
Cannot be killed by a man, runs into the only woman on the battlefield.
BlueBoy0316
Lord of the Rings isn't known for it's logic. But, in defense of the scene, she did seek him out somewhat and their battle was foretold by an elven lord, Glorfindel.
DraculaCronqvist Merry could wound him because he had an ancient blade, not because he was a hobbit. The blade had powerful spells on it that broke the Nazgul's spell binding his undead flesh to his will, allowing Eowyn to ''kill'' him.
Merry Lovasz
I was talking about the movie version. In the movie, he never obtained the blade of Westernesse from the Graves of the old kings.
Still playing Oblivion........thanks for the upload Ega!
I mean...is he truly dead? or did the witch king's spirit just eventually reform in minas morgul?
merry purged his invincibility buff and eyown criticed his ass to hell
Why did Pippin cry out in pain after backstabbing the Witch-king?
***** The Witch-King had placed a curse on himself, so that any weapon that harmed him would be smote, and the bearer of the weapon poisoned. If you notice, the same thing happened to Eowyn, and they both fell under the Black Shadow.
***** Argh! They look the same!
It's also worth noting that only a Númenor blade such as Merry's here could have done this much damage to the Witch-King! The Hobbit's weapon was under-glamorized in the movie, but was in reality a very badass blade, forged by the ancient Númenoreans for this precise purpose! This scene would be even more appreciated if we got to see how Merry won this sword (the book devotes some time to this, but not the movie)
The black shadow they were placed under could only be healed by the King of Gondor, known to have healing hands in the book iirc
Just want to point out that the barrow blade was originally forged in Cardolan, one of the successor states of Arnor. Yes, it was forged by the Dunedain of Cardolan, but not by their ancestors the Numenoreans as their island sank into in the Sea long ago.
I am pretty sure Merry did all the work.
He did half! The Witch King ran into the ONLY woman and Hobbit on the battlefield, and was defeated by both. His bad fortune makes me smile :)
Merry would have died right there if he hadn't been wielding the barrow blade that Aragorn armed the Hobbits with at Weathertop.
Keep in mind that Éowyn killed the fellbeast by herself.
he did. Eowyn just stole all the glory.
Being a woman has nothing to do with it. The no "'man' can kill me" quote is commonly misinterpreted. His gender does not matter, by man he means a human. He only died thanks to Merry stabbing him with the only weapon that can hurt him, Eowyn just finished him off
"No man can kill me..." If ever there was a case of someone reading in to their own hype, this is it. :D
It would've been a lot better if the Witch-king were defeated with the other eight nazguls.
People to strong female characters then: WHOO! SHOW 'EM! (or if they hate it they'd be like "meh")
People to strong female characters now: *W* *O* *K* *E*
And here I was, thinking that society is progressing m
Aunt Zelda's origin story is so cool.
Good technique is to wiggle the sword about after inserting it.
They smile in your face, all the time they want to take your place.
Good girl.
"The one they say no living man can kill."
"No man can kill me."
"I am no man."
Go Eowyn! Ladies kick ass too! :D
Lol yup
Actually Merry killed him.
Lithium 6 He should have, but eowyn finished him off.
MiyuChan She killed him because Merry stabed him with a Blade made to make them weak but the sheer fact She didnt run like hell from the Witch King proves she is badass
"No man can kill me."
Caitlyn Jenner "I am no man..."
tus videos son lo mejor
I wish there was an alternative end
The strap on the helmet disappears when the scene changes to her taking off the helmet. Just took notice now.
and that was all on a technicality
See a LOTR video, likes before even see it through
Nice of the Witch King to stand still and do nothing for Eowyn to have her cool one liner.
He had just been stabbed.
Bad luck Witch King
- No man can kill him
- Fights against a woman and a hobbit
I am no man. Yet had an assist from a man.
Gah! She stabbed me with a sword coated in Warheads candy!
Brilliant scene!
They do a nice job of showing the Witch King dying.
Merry did 75% of the work
Eowyn was only lucky Merry was there to save her.
she was lucky cause Merry had magical blade that make With King possible to be killed
+White Moon well said.
Is that, what Will Brienne of Tarth do to one of white walkers? :P
you know after that i was wondering why it took gandalf and the other sorcerers of the world so long to do that
If I was Éowyn I'd keep the Witch King's remains so future generations would know that I defeated him.
with all strength and thick armor plates.again.
No man can kill me
I am no man
BOOOOOOOOUUUUUM XD
A good thing Merry saved her life.
I am.. No MAN! I love that
Good thing the hobbit saved her.
ashe defeats mordekaiser top lane circa 2013
Eowyn was hotter than the Liv Tyler character.
Dorothy ain't got nothin on Eowyn!!
I think the dead king should kill Witch king...
She went for the head.
LOTR in 2018 :
"Did you assume my gender ? "
*stabs*
Jeepers! Good thing he didn't use the wrong pronoun! ;-)
0:29 FATALITY!!!
Imagine if this scene were filmed today
Witch King of Angmar: "No man can kill me"
Eowyn:" Is that a personal attack or something ?"
Well,she settled his hash, then, eh
So what happens to all the other wraiths when she kills the witch king ?
also, it would be funny if after all that collapsing and imploding, the iron and metal of his helmet turned into a toaster.
Witch king not died because of Eowyn or the hobbit, he died because his own arrogance, thinking no one can kill him
+Andros Firestrider Well ... sorta, lol. There is SOME magic involved here, but most of it is that he interpreted his prophesy to mean something that it didn't. That enchanted dagger sure did fucking help, though.
i think he died pathetically easy. ''the strongest fighter of sauron''.
It was Merry's sword that did it to him. The barrow blade was elven made and could harm wraiths.
Xander still... Anticlimatic death
+Yessin A nope.
Jason Zhang if you're satisfied with such an easy death, than easy pleasure for you.
Xander Numenorean made
Did he actually die tho? In hobbit, they were all defeated but came back anyway. Long as sauron and the ring existed, he wouldnt have been dead dead right?
2019 version:
Witch King: no man can kill me
Eowyn: DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER?? *triggered*
Never wanted daughter more then now 😂
How the hell does eowyn then go on to lose merry AGAIN???
Why is it so hard to accept that a woman brought the witch king down?
I’m not seeing a lot of complaining like that in the comment section.
Nobody complains, this scene is almost 1:1 like in the book, "I am no man"-line and everything.
I don't get it, I thought the Nasghul or whatever they are called, can't die because they are neither living nor dead. How does he die so easily and how does that dagger Merry stabs him with disintegrates like the blade that the witch-king stabbed Frodo with?
Because the blade is one of the Daggers of the West. Forged by the men of arnor, and specifically forged to kill the minions of Sauron. Merry found the dagger in the Barrow-Downs, which are the tombs of the kings of Arnor, found near the Shire.
Much like the Morgul Blade, the dagger merry uses, disintegrates when it fulfills it's purpose of stabbing a minion of Sauron.
Furthermore; The spirit of Sauron, the Nazgul and even Saruman wonders middle earth still, but they're way to weak to do anything.
Hope this helps!
The Loremaester
wow, a fate worse than death..
MrArcticShadow When Saruman died, his spirit was supposed to join his maiar brothers (angels), but when he arose to the sky a great wind came and pushed him away, so he was left on middle earth, to wonder formless and lost forever.
The wind was caused by Manwé, the Wind Lord.
Saruman, being a Maia, did not truly die. His spirit separated from his body much like Sauron's after the Downfall of Númenor. As an incorporeal spirit, he should have been called to the Halls of Mandos, but the tale implies that he was barred from returning. Tolkien indicated that his spirit was left naked, powerless and wandering, never to return to Middle-earth:
"Whereas Curunir was cast down, and utterly humbled, and perished at last by the hand of an oppressed slave; and his spirit went whither-soever it was doomed to go, and to Middle-earth, whether naked or embodied, came never back"
Taken from wikipedia :)
by this movie logic, only human men aren't able to kill him.
IN the movie, yes. In the books, not so clear. The exact quote is as follows.
"Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall."
I took that to mean humans in general. Which means it was Merry and the enchanted sword that did the work. Eowen just cleaned up the play.
اذا واحد ضغط لايك يعيش ويه هاي البنت الذي دجت النازغول
"No man can kill me..."
Uh, yeah buddy?
There's a Hobbit behind you. Not a man.
And the person in front of you is female.
I'd say you made a mistake with that black magic potion to be immortal against all _men_
It's actually pretty irrelevant if Eowyn killes the Witch King. I mean, Sauron could resurrect him like he did it right before the Battle of the Five Armies with the rest of the Nazgûl, couldn't he?
What?
well when marry stabed witch king some kind of a spell was destroyed in him so he bece voulnarble to an attack, but not just any kind of attack when angmar lost and was defetead witch king was near death he was escaping and the people of arnor were chasing him but stoped and said"he will not die by the hand of a man" and also all men who tried to kill always were trying to stab him in the stomach. and eowyn stabed him in the face so i think the refrence was that men were not trying any other techinque to defeat him but it only one women to figure out his critical hit point ergo killing the witch king
+Kamil Figura Down destroyed the Witch King because Glorfindel (an extremely important elf) prophesied that the Witch King would be destroyed by no man. Merry distracted the Witch King, but Eowyn being a woman is what made him vulnerable. It might seem like a trivial loophole, what the meaning of words has great power in The Lord of the Rings universe. That's something Tolkien established, and based it on the myths that he was familiar with.
There's already precedent for that in Lord of the Rings: remember ' speak friend and enter?'
As for whether or not Sauron would resurrect him, he would have in time. However, he lost his power. It's possible that the witch-king would be able to come back on his own, but it would take an incredibly long time, and because he drew his power from Sauron, he would be very weak if he could manage it.
The nazgul are bound to the one ring. Even now as you see them they have no body,they are some kind of void, nothing,wraiths. You cannot kill such a thing. Yes, eowyn destroyed him,but he could be recalled by sauron, not that big deal... It is merry that destroyed him,this blade was made to fight ringwraiths , he did fall not by the hand of a man but of a hobbit and a woman. The pprophecy didn't mean that he could not be killed by a man,just that no man would ever manage it.
He can, but not quickly. This is mentioned in the book; although he is not truly dead, he is also not a factor in the final battle either, as a result of her actions
