I think that what we may mean is that regardless of what needed to be done, Aragorn did not appear leaderly when doing it. Pretending that he's the trilogy hero and making people accept that he's the hero are two different things.

Plus I can never get over how he pronounces 'orc.' Always sounds like he's holding his nose.
