Give the swords to a trans woman, have her say "I am no man!" as she cuts his head off.

I thought this was a roundabout reference to the Macbeth "I was born by C-Section" thing. Was thinking "wow a stretch, but funny".

I've never seen the LOTR movies and gave up in book 2. So forgive me that. I kinda liked it better when I thought you strechted Macbeth that far

To be fair, it isn't exactly not that either

Was the original LOTR that reference too??? I guess Tolkien probably did look at Shakespeares answers during the exam

Yes, actually, even though Tolkien didn't like Shakespeare. Here's a short article and Wikipedia on this:
