>>67090437Movie Denethor was such a prick... Book Denethor was honestly more interesting and realistic buy less dramatic, overall. He was resigned to doom, but you have to keep in mind, unlike in the films, Denethor was had been using a Palantir in secret, and thus fed his own downfall because using a palantir pits your against Sauron's, and denethor had been using it repeatedly.
