JFL Nazgul weakness in LOTR was such a disappointment

[Ephialtes]

I got hyped by them as a kid and then felt pure ropefuel when I actually watched how pathetic they turned out to be. They're introduced like absolute death gods, you think "these are the final bosses, the Chads of evil" and then reality hits. They get mogged by water, by hobbits, by Aragorn's 6'6 frame, and by eagles. They can't fight, can't do anything, only relied on fear and invisibility cope. Witch-king can't be slayed by any living man- gets slayed by a woman. What a humiliation. They had the aesthetic but zero actual substance.

I agree that LOTR is a great cope lmao. I'm just saying how I got disappointed by the Nazgul specifically

Hello Ephialtes. Have you played the shadow of war game? The nazgul outfits you could wear were so cool, plus riding on the fell beast was awesome. Still one of my favorite games but low replayability
