First of all, David Wenham wasn' t the king of Gondor, he was the Captain of The Guard, and the Prince of Ithilien. Secondly, I don't think he was "reduced to a whiny pussy", I think he may have seemed that way when placed beside the incredibly badass Van Helsing and Anna Valerious. I think his response to all the shit going on was only proper and fitting for a friar who's been sealed up in a church lab his entire life and has never been outside of the church or "in the field" as it were. Plus, I don't think that David Wenham playing the role of Carl is such a terrible thing, it shows that he can play a range of characters, instead of being typecast in the same role.
