Talk:A.E. Pessimal

• Certainly* not an annotation, just a personal observation here in the pub of the talk pages... the description of Pessimal attacking Brick's knee, distracting Brick from the killing stroke to Vimes, seemed to channel the RotK scene where Merry attacks the Witch King's knee, distracting him from the killing stroke to Eowyn. The lurching foe who thought himself invincible, but is both confused and in pain; the attack at the knee; the flinging off of the hobbit/hobbit-sized inspector. I half expected Detritus to bellow "No Man Am I!" as he finished off Brick. Moishe Rosenbaum (talk) 13:38, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

I didn’t think of that, but I reckon you’re onto something. Pratchett’s Lord of the Rings references were often pretty subtle (such that only the really obvious ones, like Gollum’s cameo in Witches Abroad, tend to get noticed), so it may well have been intentional! -- Guybrush (talk) 10:04, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
