Those arrows had Merry & Pippin's names on them. So Boromir stood there and took three for the "little ones."

...and who ran in an relieved the bad guy of his head?

Yeah, a day late and a dollar short. Heckuva lotta good it did Boromir.

Oh UNFAIR, UNFAIR!! Boromir was protecting Merry and Pippin. You could say he was 'taking the arrows' for them! I won't diminish what Aragorn did; he really whupped up on Lurtz, but Boromir truly gave his life for his friends! ( even if he DID end up looking like a pincushion!)
