[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 1280847, member: 198"] I think you can make a credible argument that in the movie he wasn't being literal. There's no other mention of that information (I don't think Gandalf mentions it when he's describing him, but I might have missed it) in the movie. In the book, however, there is a specific mention of it, and it's even covered in the appendices when the host of Angmar is defeated by the forces of Gondor and Rivendell. Earnur is about to follow the fleeing Witch-King and Glorfindel stops him, saying that he cannot be slain by mortal man. So it's definitely not just a cool line from him in the book. (Recalled all of the above without having looked at the books in a couple of years. My geek-fu is strong :p) [/QUOTE]
