U niggas ever thought about the charge of the rohirrim? Sure u niggas have. Guess what? Every man who sees that scene is like shiiiiit when theoden leads the charge into battle. Women don't give a flying fuck, they don't care. They don't get it. Because men have the genetic memory of battle built into them. Men largely fought in formation hand to hand combat for a much longer period than modern warfare has existed. The charge into combat is something every single man here has an ancestor who experienced, bar none. If you go back thousands of years, even the spergiest of spergy beta niggas here have an ancestor who fought in some kind of conflict. It's a shared male experience. Also, that particular part of the story is inspired by the fateful and decisive charge of King Jan Sobieski and his winged hussars at the siege of Vienna. A fateful moment in European history.
That's why the charge of the rohirrim MATTERS. It's DEEP. It's MEANINGFUL. Anyways I thought the themes intersected being that people die in battle and all that.
