    You’d think that certain entities that were all but endless before succumbing to the corruption that stripped them of all mortal loose ends and imbued them with unlife… might have a few spare centuries to grasp simple wit that abounds in tales back to the furthest age. Just sayin’. They’re gothy stormtroopers, just out LARPin’ it up, I guess.

      I know you’re joking, but the fact that a woman kills the Witch King is not some kind of prophecy being fullfilled, but just dramatic irony. It’s actually Merry’s dagger that just happened to be imbued with magic that made the Witch King mortal so Eowyn could deliver the killing blow.
