Where the guy says "no man can kill me" and she takes off her helmet and says "I am no man" and he implodes out of respect to her pronouns. Always loved that scene.

I've always imagined a skit where a player character argues over the rules with the DM on how that should be ruled.

PC: "okay, he says he can't be killed by a man, but my character isn't a man!"

DM: "In the setting and history, the 'race of men' refers to both men and women! It is a distinction of being mortal, not a particular gender!"

PC: "oh, so he can be killed by an elf man!?"

DM: "No! An elf man is still a man!"

And shenanigans like that

PC: "But but... You just said that MAN is the race of men"

DM: "I hate you"

The book and to a lesser extent film does this sorta. Merry stabs the Witch King with his elven dagger which is magic and makes the Witch King vulnerable. So it's an assisted kill with a woman from the race of Men and a male from the race of Hobbits (who are technically Men, but good enough)

I sill love the Frank Frazetta Eowyn art, where her whole ass is out, as, since she's dressed in 'normal' Rohirrim armor, implies all the Rider of Rohan are thotted up, ass out

I mean, if you're fighting a dragon, are pants really necessary?

i remember that meme about how when you were younger you lusted after Legolas, then when you got older you moved to Aragorn and now as an adult you finally realised that Arwen is definitely Luthien reborn and you had no chance crush

Honestly none of them ever really did anything for me. I almost exclusively have a thing for women, and Arwen was never really my type.

Eowyn was great bc I like strong women

Galadriel would have been stronger then the foundations of the Earth if she'd taken the Ring sicko-wistful

That "Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!" quote has real top-use-words energy hyperflush

Goth Cate in Thor: Ragnarok may or may not have had the same effect side-eye-1

Hela looked good but but as a character there was nothing there. I wanted to like her and/or hate her but there just weren't enough dimensions to make a person. What a waste of Cate Blanchett.

Book Eowyn is one of the best characters in lotr

Yeah I was pretty mad at aragorn for choosing the emo elf over the warrior woman

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Huh, I went the opposite way, I think? Arwen first, then Aragorn and Arwen buying me a drink from across the bar saying they love my vibe, then only Aragorn or Eómer, and now, Eówyn is most of my vibe.

I read that Peter Jackson studied a whole bunch of real implosions in order to perfectly capture what it feels like to accidentally misgender someone

This feels tagline worthy. I love it. I laughed a lot.
