Thread: aragorn and Nazgul

I absolutly hate that aragorn can ward off the NINE!!!!!!!!! i stupid he probably couldnt take one of them thats what he even said in the book that there too powerful for even him! Stupid Stupid Stupid
What was he supposed to do there on Weathertop, just stand there at let the Nazgūl kill the other hobbits and capture Frodo and the Ring? They couldn't out-run the Nazgūl; so Aragorn armed himself and the hobbits with flaming brands and tried to hold them off with those: Nazgūl don't like light. This delayed the hobbits from being killed outright; while Frodo was being wounded by the deadly Morgol blade, after which the Nazgūl no longer felt it necessary to face the flaming brands and they left while the poison did its job for them.
I guess this is one of those situations where the attacker was not prepared for resistance. Many predators in our own world, like sharks for instance, will not bother pray if it can offer any form of resistance. Thats why many people have survived being killed by sharks simply by kicking at them.
The Nazgul thought they were going to be chasing easy meat. They were not prepared for flame weilding maniacs like Aragorn. Besides the Hobbits and Aragorn were in the middle of the lone lands and all the Nazgul needed to do was wait for the consuming power of the Morgul blade.

Sure, why not? I didn't like those guys anyway.

Besides, should Evil (look, I even wrote it with a capital letter) always lose?
Evil shouldn't always lose.. would be a welcome suprise if it actually won something...
and i don't think that aragorn much cares did YOU like them or no Big Smile Smilie
he was just doing as he saw fit Smile Smilie
Evil usually manages to win some battles, even conquer worlds, but always lose everything in the end, because some savior always pops up on the most inopportune times and manages to prevail in -usually- the most convoluted way possible.

It's called cliché.
