That scene got weakened by the movies not having time to go into the background of Glorfindel's prophecy (second narrative casualty of cutting the golden Noldorian), and the Arnor blades. It is debatable whether using the original identity reveal before the stab would restore nuance to the Witch-King's character, or mess up his radiating dread. But I certainly hate that Eowyn is stripped of her unique motivations when she is grouped with girl-boss characters from other media.
Also weakened by not having the background of Merry's Westernesse sword, that he obtained in Barrow-Downs. The blades had been forged specifically to fight against Angmar, and was enchanted to be able to harm the Witch-King. He was essential in breaking the spell that surrounded the Nazgûl, and just like Éowyn, he was a part of Glorfindel's prophecy, since as a hobbit he was not technically a part of mankind.
