And, no, I don't think Gollum is the true hero.

And Aragorn is not the best fighter ever. I never suggested such a thing. However, having said that, I will add that his experience and his capabilities are (were) nothing to sneeze at.

I think that that part in the movie was badly done, misrepresenting Aragorn in an attempt to represent Eowyn as something she wasn't quite. I have nothing to pick with the protrayal of Eowyn in the movies. I think they did a good job. However, in the LotR world, I don't think that a woman should be allowed to 'kick butt', as it's sometimes put - particularly Aragorn's.

With all due respect,

Folwren
