Théoden’s final war speech, film version;
“Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!
Death! Death! Death!
Forth Eorlingas!”
Hits me every time. Hits hard, right in the heart.
For comparison, the book version;
“Arise, arise, Riders of Rohan!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!”

Having recently played Elden Ring for the first time, I really found the lines that Morgott/Margit said to be some of my favorite. The way the VA enunciates the lines really hit hard even when they don’t have much weight. “Foul tarnished, in search of the Elden Ring. Emboldened by the flame of ambition. Someone must extinguish thy flame. Let it be Margit, the Fell!” “Thy kind are all of a piece. Pillagers, emboldened by the flame of ambition. Have it writ upon thy meagre grave: Felled by King Morgott, last of all kings!” These two lines, when I played the game, hit so hard for some reason.
