Why LOTR Sucks: The Worst Kind Of Misogyny

The ruination of Eowyn is finally complete. Her character has been completely stripped of all heroism. She is the one that killed the witch-king, the same witch-king that no man could kill, and yet now she’s about to be trampled by the lame*, half-dead orc that is stumbling towards her as she helplessly writhes on the ground. Thankfully, a real man of a hero comes to her rescue. Aragorn comes charging from kilometers away and just happens to kill the orc and saves Eowyn.

Way to go, Peter Jackson.
