"I CAN'T CARRY IT FOR YOU, BUT I CAN CARRY YOU!" Lord Of The Rings Return Of The King Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order! Follow RR On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en With The Two Towers conquered, Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson are BACK for the final chapter of Peter Jackson's (King Kong, The Lovely Bones, The Hobbit) legendary adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings saga! Join them for their FIRST TIME Reaction, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Full Movie Spoiler Review of The Return of the King—the epic conclusion that brings the journey of Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Gandalf, and the fellowship to its heart-stopping finale. Elijah Wood returns as Frodo Baggins, Ian McKellen as Gandalf the White, Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, Sean Astin as Samwise Gamgee, Andy Serkis as Gollum / Smeagol, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, John Rhys-Davies as Gimli, Billy Boyd & Dominic Monaghan as Pippin & Merry, Liv Tyler as Arwen, Miranda Otto as Éowyn, Karl Urban as Éomer, Bernard Hill as Théoden, David Wenham as Faramir, and Sean Bean as Boromir in flashbacks—with unforgettable scenes featuring the ultimate battle for Middle-earth! Let's not forget the movie quotes Aragorn’s inspiring battle cry, “The day may come when the courage of men fails… but it is not this day,” and his reverent words to the hobbits, “My friends, you bow to no one.” Éowyn’s defiant triumph shines with “I am no man!”, while Sam’s hopeful reminder, “There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for,” resonates deeply. Gandalf offers wisdom with “I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil,” and celebrates victory with “A great shadow has departed.” Frodo’s chilling, “The Ring is mine,” marks his moment of succumbing to temptation, while Aragorn’s quiet resolve in “For Frodo,” before charging into battle, leaves a lasting impression. Roxy & Tara REACT to the Best Scenes & Most EPIC Moments, including The Lighting of the Beacons, Sam vs. Shelob, Pippin Sings for Denethor, The Ride of the Rohirrim, Aragorn’s Speech at the Black Gate, Éowyn vs. The Witch King, Frodo & Sam in Mount Doom, The Eagles Arrive, The Destruction of the Ring, Aragorn’s Coronation, and Beyond!!

Seen this movie 500 times and I will never not cry when Aragorn says 'My friends, you bow to no one.'

After the ring was destroyed: Frodo left Middle Earth, so that he may be fully healed. He was still able to feel the wound on his arm from the sword at the beginning, plus for being the ring-bearer and it nearly consuming him like it did Gollum. Aragorn returned Gondor to it's former glory, and ruled happily with Arwen for 120 years. He had one son and two daughters. When his time drew near, he chose to take command of his own end. We laid in the House of the Kings in Minas Tirith with Gondor's past rulers and drifted into eternal sleep. Arwen passed one year later. Gimli became the Lord of the Glittering Caves under Helm's Deep, as it was rich with Mithril. He kept his word to Galadriel, and encased the strands of hair within glass and treasured it. Legolas restored the woodlands of Middle-Earth that were ravaged by the war, along with adventuring with Gimli. After Aragorn's death, Legolas made a ship of his own in Ithilien, and left Middle-Earth to cross the sea to reunite with the rest of the elves in the Undying Lands. Gimli crossed the sea with Legolas, due to his close friendship with the elf, and was the only dwarf that was offered that honor. Samwise married Rosie and had 13 children. He was also elected Mayor of the Shire for seven consecutive seven-year terms (49 years.) Afterwards, Sam was given passage to the Undying Lands to reunite with Frodo, as Samwise was also a Ring-Bearer, even for a short time. Pippin became the 32nd Thane of the Shire, and held that position for 50 years. He had one son named Faramir Took I, who later married Sam's daughter. After he retired as Thane, he left with Rohan and Gondor with Merry. He remained there for the rest of his life, and was entombed in the Hall of the Kings, and later moved to be laid to rest alongside Aragorn. Merry was knighted by King Eomer and become Master of Buckland. He married, and wrote a book. He had at least one son. At 102, he returned to Rohan and Gondor with Pippin, dying around the same time as Pippin. He was laid to rest in Gondor with Pippin, and later moved alongside Aragorn.

Roxy obsessed with Viggo is equivalent to Gollum with the Ring

You try being possessed for years only to find out your only son has been killed and your kingdom is under threat of extermination. Theoden is one of the most human characters in the trilogy.

Theoden deserves so much more credit than he gets. This is a man who literally has no hope whatsoever. He expects to die and to lose the war, but he fights anyway because he knows what he's fighting for and that this is the time for all men to step up and do their part. That's why he says 'But we shall meet them in battle nonetheless' immediately after saying his troops can't defeat the armies of Mordor and why he has his army chant "DEATH!" when they arrive. Of all the changes Jackson made, this is probably the best one, because it solidifies that Rohan's actions are redeeming the great flaw of man in Tolkien's legendarium, the fear of death leading to cowardice, corruption, and evil. By abandoning that fear and embracing their mortality, Theoden and all the men he leads achieve a victory against the very origin of evil in Middle Earth and overcome the lies and corruption created by Sauron's original master Morgoth. Even without that background, the charge of the Rohirrim is one of the greatest scenes in cinema.
