      Literally “the pre-destined future leader who just needs to walk forward and automatically wins”.

      What’s his biggest hurdle through the entire three-book adventure? Picking which hot princess he’s going to marry? Politely asking some ghosts to defeat half the Dark Lord’s army in an unwritten side adventure? Literally walking up to the Black Gates of Mordor and telling the Eye of Sauron “Made you look”?

      Come on. The most difficult fight Aragorn has in the entire epic adventure happens in the first half of the first book.

        He struggles with his identity and guilt over isildur’s failure with the ring, he straight up fails to save frodo after getting stabbed who would have died if Arwen didn’t show up, and that final stand against Sauron’s army was basically a suicide mission that only worked because he taunted Sauron into sending the army out of the black gate before ever heading out there.
