Aragorn vs. The Witch-King would be more of a deviation from the books thatn Aragorn vs. Sauron, I agree with that. I see it more as pick your poison, & I just hate both the ideas. The books said ( sorry I can't remember where ) that Sauron was ALMOST ready to be able to take shape. If he does take on Aragorn ( unfortunately he probably will ), I don't think it's likely he'll lead the forces out from the Black Gate. It's more likely to be kind've like the explanatory footage at the beginning of FotR, where he comes later, in the middle of battle. I think even PJ realizes that having him lead the armies out would be a large mistake ( although, granted, no larger than Sauron being there in the first place! ), it would bring about the destruction of the Ring to quickly. Everybody knows that noone could stand up to Sauron for long, so Aragorn would have to engage him almost right away; begining the countdown to the destruction of the Ring to soon. Maybe, in about 20 years ( at age 35 ), I'll direct a more booktual ( I know that's not a real word ), longer triliogy...oh well, I suppose we must be glad for what PJ had presented for us NOW. I thought he did a MUCH better job with FotR than TTT, he stayed closer to the books ( don't start telling me I'm a loser for wishing TTT was more booktual! ), & used many of the lines straight out of the books, even if they were out of different chapters, etc. Oh well, I'd have more than my share of a take ( any arguments, just PM me, I probably shouldn't have gotten this far off the subject in the first place, & if we start arguing it'll only make it worse... )
