i dont know who said the withcking COULDNT defeat gandalf, but they are wrong. the witchking is presented in the book and now in the movie as a match for gandalf.
I for one am happy it was added into the extended edition, cause it explains why Gandalf does not have his staff when they go to the black gate, cause the witch king destroys his staff. I was wondering what had happened to it when i first saw the movie in the theater, and then when i saw the extened edition i was like oooo that's why. It had been a while since i read the book.
I quit trying to talk to you guys fans of the Nazgûl, i have already put here so much proves of Gandalf being stronger then the Nazgûl and you guys simply reply with nonsense proves, I know he is strong, but ther is no prove of he being stronger than gandalf (in the book). I know he is strong but the book itself has much more that tells he is not stronger then gandalf, it just say that he is a match for gandalf but not stronger.
I wont try to prove anything to you guys anymore, ive put many things here just go back and read then. I will now search for a post that likes gandalf.
Oh, and remember what the book 2 tell us: Gandalf cant be hurt by any power on earth. You guys dind say a thing about this did you? Well, live with that! Good Bye!
How do you put a ^ above words like Nazguls?
And the Nazguls are not powers from earth. Sauron is an Angelic being and he gave the Nazguls their might through the rings
Why do people have a false sense of Gandalf's power? It says it in the book between Denethor and Gandalf. Gandalf said himself the Witch-King was stronger
Will you please quote that? If you remember correctly Gandalf the Grey fought all 9 Nazgul on Weathertop with no problem, why wouldnt he be able to destroy the Witch King? Gandalf was a Maiar(an Angel). Here's a quote that I would like you to read.
"Gandalf: Dangerous, And so am I, very dangerous: more dangerous than anything you will ever meet."
also here's another quote....
"The Dark Lord has Nine. But we have One, mightier then they are: the White Rider. He has passed through the fire and the abyss, and they shall fear him."
If Gandalf would have fought the Witch King Gandalf would have totally ahniliated him.
is gandalf a man or saruman or *BAD SPELLING APROCHING* radaghast,
there miar arent they? istari?? but thats beside the piont, K3VIL would you fight someone whose sword was on fire?? me thinks not
I just looked, nowhere does it say that. Only thing it says about Gandalf and Weathertop that I've found is this:
'I think now,' said Strider, 'that the enemy has been watching this place for some days. If Gandalf ever came here, then he must have been forced to ride away, and he will not return. In any case we are in great peril here after dark, since the attack of last night, and we can hardly meet greater danger wherever we go.'
This is on page 194 of my copy of LOTR, which is the single-edition paperback.
Found this, but it doesn't prove anything to your point...
'I galloped to Weathertop like a gale, and I reached it before sundown on my second day from Bree - and they were there before me. They drew away from me, for they felt the coming of my anger and they dared not face it while the Sun was in the sky. But they closed round at night, and I was besieged on the hell-top, in the old ring of Amon Sul. I was hard put to it indeed: such light and flame cannot have been seen on Weathertop since the war-beacons of old.
At sunrise I escaped and felt towards the north. I could not hope to do more. It was impossible to find you, Frodo, in the wilderness, and it would have been folly to try with all the Nine at my heels. So I had to trust to Aragorn. But I hoped to draw some of them off, and yet reach Rivendell ahead of you and send out help. Four Riders did indeed follow me, but they turned back after a while and made for the Ford, it seems. That helped a litle, for there were only five, not nine, when your camp was attacked.' (pp 257-258)
Just says Gandalf fought them, not how many of them.

Re: Why Gandalf didn't fight the Witch King
Why? Cuz Gandalf is b!tch. Thats why.

Its clear to me that we all have are Tolkien hero's. Just respect others and read the books, stay with the facts. oh and i would say what wiki would not stand a chance. (i know the hobbits blade was a critical strike , but Eowen's sword killed him so? well blah is what i think ) oh BTW Golllum says they cant be killed. makes me mad
Exactly. In fact, it precisely makes out that Gandalf a. did not and b COULD not have stood and fought with the 9. They did not approach him at the first meeting because it was not night.
Gandalf did NOT fight the nine Nazgul at any point. He warded them off and then ran like hell.
Gandalf did not even try to attack the four following him. It's worth noting, by contrast, that Glorfindel DID go on the offensive against the Nazgul when he found them.

It said they besieged him, I took that as they attacked and he fought until he could run...but it has been two years since I've last read LOTR so I could have simply misread that, taking it out of context like I did.
