Gandalf Vs. The Witch King - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

excellent points on your last two posts, 1,000th reader

to repeat myself for the 1,000th time, there is no evidence, one way or the other to state whom is stronger than who in the aforesaid battle, except for circumstantial evidence.

and the end result was the same in both book and movie. the battle was finished by the horns of the rohirrim who came to save the day. the only difference was that gandalf was prone on the floor in the movie - a point I finally conceded about 6 months or so ago on this thread if I can remember correctly.

I was just glad to get somtething akin to the book in the EE edition of this movie, even though parts were different.

PS - Come the World War III, with a few of us lucky (or unlucky) ones sitting in our nuclear bunkers or under a mountain, we will still be here arguing whether Gandalf was stronger than the Witch King............

Thanks. It's nice to have people compliment you to your face instead of with a rep.

There'll be more things than that. We'll have robotic-like fans, good guy (and bad guy) zealots, weirdos that hate the movies simply because they're movies, people who don't realize how demeaning it is for Sauron to lose to a dog, people who still debate power level stuff as if this was DBZ, etc. Like any fanbase, Tolkien's works have the rabid packs as well.

If anyone could kindly read post #262 of this thread they will see that right from the off I said the games were not an answer to this question. At the time I was responding in a light-hearted manner to a fellow Downer, on a thread subject that was stagnant, and I still think has blown its fuse. Once again I apologise for the 3 or 4 replies out of the 270 odd.

P.S Why did it take nearly five months to figure out that our posts were irrelevant, maybe because the thread was nearly as dead as The Witch-king.
