Why Gandalf didn't fight the Witch King

In the book if i'm right Gandalf the White fought against the Witch King, and in the ROTK they just use him as a traffic light, hitting with a little light the Nazguls, and then fighting against the army of Mordor, but he doesn't use his magic powers.It was wrong from my personal opinion, also the fight with the Witch King could have to be most spectacular except for the defeat of Sauron.

P.S. Is it my impression or Viggo Mortensen have a facial espression of someone who has been hittend in the OO and is feeling pain for all the duration of the movie when he's not fighting?

I'm not going to comment about Aragorn.

About the witch king fight, that was the most disapointing added scene, it did no good...I just skip it 😛

disapointing? He had a big flaming sword 😕
He tells Gandalf hes going to kill him!

Gandalf didnt fight him because 'no man can kill him' and as far as i can tell, Gandafl is a man. Plus, he didnt have one of those sexy noldor swords.

If he killed wiki, theoden would live, the charge wouldnt be as dramatic, wouldnt be as effective on the audience and would overall be disapointing.

Plus- Viggo is droolio

... anyway, they did fight... kinda... Just don't ***** without having seen the EE...

tons of things from the book are inaccurate and it pisses me off, but oh well

In the book, they just had a stand-off, but no real "one-on-one fight" per se. It was a bit like the movie, only in the book, Gandalf didn't fell off from Shadowfax and looked like a powerless wimp. 😛

About Viggo's facial expression, well, Aragorn in the book was always described as " ragged and grim-looking" so Viggo and the crew wanted to pull that off. 😛

And sauron, your sig is awesome! 😄 I remember that from way back Valentine's Day of last year. Oh, I remember some tension. 😖hifty: 😆

Lets not go into that shall we?

OK. ✅

Why are you cooking legolas' lungs?

She isn't cooking Legolas' lungs..she's cooking inside Legolas' lungs ✅ lol 😄 Isn't this a bit off topic.....

What happened between Sauron and sb last year? I want to know?
(Really off-topic)

But like sauron said, let's not get into it, or just ask him via PM if you're really interested. 😐

if your really interest dont ask me.
Infact, dont ask anybody or even try to think about asking me or anybody.

I agree, the Witch-King died too soon and too easy, the Witch-King is symbolized as a powerful being and slayed as an unpowerful being.
It sure should have been more spectacular, it would have been even better when the Witch-King slayed Gandalf, for as I said before: it symbolizes a powerful being...

But thats not how it happend in the book ^^ and tehy wouldn't have added that drastic of a scene to the movie...

There is a short scene in the EE...so you might wanna watch taht...though it doesnt really add too much

To my opinion the movie is completely different, I would rather call it a "based-on" movie, which never is the same, but always (a little or more) follows its own path...

I understand compleatly...it is a compleatly differnet entity from the book, but They dont add in such huge scens as Gandalf being killed by Wiki and destroy the entire plot...that just wouldnt work...
