I didn't comment on this earlier, but now that someone has brought it up Spoiler: the entire spear thing made absolutely no sense at all. In what possible universe would you deliberately choose to wound your enemy to "show he's not a god" instead of killing him, which both, uh, kills him AND shows he not a god. I'm pretty sure you'd do a better job of demoralizing an army by killing their leader who they all believe to be a god than by simply cutting him and making him feel sheepish and vulnerable. I think you're right, YW, I don't think that spear was ever meant to kill him. I think it was a direct follow up to the "you will bleed" comment from earlier. When that comment was made I was like "oooh badass." The way it played out was horribly unfulfilling and I didn't feel like it made any sense. Ah well.
