Tolkien's Eowyn is Unbelievably Badass #lordoftherings

Eowyn beats Nazgul.

This is how a strong female character is made, not by crapping on a male character to make her look good.

god of war music suits this very well, took me a second to recognise it

Still, I gotta imagine Sauron rubbing imaginary hands together, thinking his Nazgul where about to wreck shop with no difficulty, only for some random woman to one-shot his "deadliest servant" with a regular blade, the one able to overwhelm Gandalf The White (as in a reborn angelic mage sent back to the mortal plane by his universe's creator with a divine promotion to boot), even destroying his wizard's staff with his mere presence.

When I think back on that scene, I picture Sauron realizing the Witch-King is dead and thinking "When I said no man could kill them, I MEANT NO *LIVING BEING* COULD KILL THEM! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!"

God is beautiful, and yet “it is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.”
