On June 22, 2017, another image macro meme was uploaded to the Funny section of 9GAG under the title, “Who the hell is Frodo?” The post received 74 points and two comments. On Reddit, an r/photoshopbattles thread from September 29th, 2016, spawned an edited version of the scene dubbed “Star War of the Ring – Aragorn vs TR-8R.” Redditor LVMagnus posted the image (seen below) in the chain and received 24 upvotes. On July 28th, 2013, Soup.io (an Austrian social site) user Isjaki posted a version (seen below) referencing the death of Sean Bean’s character Ned Stark from the TV show Game of Thrones, and it was subsequently reposted by numerous users on the site.Īn image macro variant (shown below) was made by an unknown user on Imgflip in 2015 with the bottom text “Leeroy Jenkins!” in reference to the World of Warcraft meme and was viewed 686 times. On January 8th, 2013, an unknown user on Imgur uploaded an edit of the scene (shown below) with the caption “For Frodo” changed to “Yolo.” Though various images of the scene appear online several times before it was used as a meme, some of the earliest examples come from 2013. He then turns away from Sauron’s gaze and says, “For Frodo,” as he leads the charge and rushes into the opposing forces. Aragorn delivers his epic speech, emboldening the warriors, and dismounts his horse before turning to his companions and drawing his sword Andúril. The gate then opens and the army begins to surround the forces of good as they exchange worried looks of despair. Source for all dates and times: Tale of Years, Return of the King.The original clip the meme is pulled from is seen during the third and final Lord of the Rings movie, The Return of the King, specifically near the ending when the final battle for Middle Earth is underway and the remnants of humanity march towards Mordor to distract Sauron, thus providing Frodo and Sam a chance to sneak into Mount Doom so they can destroy the One Ring.ĭuring the scene (featured below), members of the Fellowship are gathered around the Black Gate alongside the remaining warriors of Gondor and Rohan in what is essentially a suicide mission to provoke Sauron and his orc army into leaving the lands of Mordor. So from that point onwards we can say that it actually took each the same amount of time to travel to Mordor, accepting that they went to different parts of Mordor, and with various delays and sidetracks along the way, from the time their routes diverged. In fact, if we look at the time from the Breaking of the Fellowship (26th February) to the destruction of the Ring (25th March) - before which Frodo and Aragorn were travelling together - we see that only 1 month passes. Which reduces his journey time to 3 months. Aragorn's army makes the journey from 18th March to 25th March - also 7 days.įrodo stopped plenty of times along the way He left Hobbiton on 22nd September 3018 and arrived in Mordor on 19th March 3019 - about 6 months.įrodo travelled all the way from Hobbiton whereas Aragorn's army travelled from Minas Tirith, which was substantially closer.īy comparison, it takes Frodo from 5th March to 12th March to travel from the Black Gate to Shelob's Lair, which is only 7 days for a similar distance to that which Aragorn's army travelled.
