++Elrond

The whole agent Smith thing and Eowyn's personal hygiene leaves much to be desired.

I was never overly fond of Eowyn and I always found the counsil of Elrond one of the most interesting parts of the books, I also think that Elrond is a nice charachter. . . probably not a favourit, but he is allright

If we were talking about the films, then I find them both a bit annoying, but Eowyn less so.

He makes Muruvor, which I've always wanted to try. Probably better than any of the energy drinks I have.

++Eowyn.

I was a tomboy...

++Eowyn

Because she offed the Witch King while Elrond sat at home. In fact, even when he didn't sit at home, I don't recall that Elrond really accomplished anything quite so remarkable.

Please...she was merely suicidal and hoped to accomplish this in an 'assisted' fashion. It was a cowardly way out and she thought it would have succeeded but she failed.

(To clarify to everybody who might wonder, I have a lot of fun with this so please don't read too much into what I say)

According to the book, she just happened to be the person standing there when Merry's magic anti-Witch King sword rendered the Witch King easily killable. Anyone could have killed him in that moment.

Before Merry saved her skin, Eowyn was hurt on the ground and the Witch King was swinging his mace down for the killing blow.

He had already done the whole battle thing in the second age. He retired and became a healer. And with the Elves, those who specialized in healing abstained from war, for it was believed that the taking of life hindered their healing skills.

And without his healing skills- no Frodo.

And without his care and protection, no Aragorn.

Without Elrond, game over. Evil wins.
