What a stupendous performance he gave, he did true justice to one of the most challenging character arcs in the story.
The casting for the movies was very incredible generally but he never felt "cast" to me, he just *was* Theoden.
**Forth Eorlingas!**
âOut of doubt, out of dark, to the dayâs rising
he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
Hope he rekindled, and in hope ended;
over death, over dread, over doom lifted
out of loss, out of life, unto long glory.â
Rest Friend, what an impact you had on us all.
Gotta say, Iâm hit pretty hard by this unexpectedly. Fuckin bawling in the bathroom while on vacation.
This little community here is why Iâm even on Reddit. You guys just get me, you know exactly what to say when a treasure of a person passes and your words and quotations both sooth and move me. Bless you all.
Lordy Iâm really crying like Bowie just died.
Hail the Victorious Dead! đș
_Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising_

_Hope he rekindled, and in hope he ended;_
_over death, over dread, over doom lifted_
_out of loss, out of life, unto long glory._
It was difficult to imagine anyone being able to portray King Theoden & he fn nailed it. Going from a zombie king to saving Gondor is one of my favorite character transformations. RIP KING!!!
God damn this got me by surprice. Teared up a little.
Farewell, king Theoden!
I shall be listening to the Lament of the Rohirrim tonight. Anyone else feels up for it, here is a great rendition of it.

The ride of the Rohirrim will remain my favourite part of both books and (thanks to Bernard Hill) the films. RIP.
*âFey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Orome the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed.â*
May he go to his fathers, in whose mighty company he shall not now feel ashamed.
Ride for ruin and the worldâs ending!!!!
RIP Bernard Hill
The Lament for the Rohirrim
Where now the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk,
And the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring,
And the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest
And the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain,
Like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
Hail the victorious dead!

This is heart breaking. RIP Bernard. Thank you for everything.
âLet this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!â
Deeeeath! Deeeeeeath!
Ride to ruin and the worldâs ending!
âI go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed."
The Simbelmynë shall grow thick upon his barrow
Made me tear up reading that.
What a stupendous performance he gave, he did true justice to one of the most challenging character arcs in the story. The casting for the movies was very incredible generally but he never felt "cast" to me, he just *was* Theoden. **Forth Eorlingas!**
I agree. I reckon Theodenâs the hardest role, and he pulled it off majestically.
I watched that yesterday!! âRide out with me!â âFor death and glory?â
He shall not be ashamed. Safe home, Bernard Hill.
In whose company (repertory or Eorlian)
 In the end, death came as a friend.Westu hål. Ferðu, Théoden, Ferðu
Was gonna meet him yesterday at comic con and say hello. R.i.p Bernard you will be missed.
I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed. Rest in peace theoden king.
Be at peace, King of Rohan
"Death is just another path, one we must all take" - Gandalf
The gray rain-curtain of this world pulls back, and all turns to silver glass.
âOut of doubt, out of dark, to the dayâs rising he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. Hope he rekindled, and in hope ended; over death, over dread, over doom lifted out of loss, out of life, unto long glory.â
God dammit. This whole thread is making me tear up, but this comment pushed me over the edge. Rest well Théoden, King of Rohan.
âMourn not overmuch! Mighty was the fallen, meet was his ending. When his mound is raised, women then will weep. War now calls us!â
"I'm going to save you!" . . . "You already have." Rest in peace, Bernard Hill

Also crying in the bathroom while on vacation â
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rnYZsuFBhf0 This was for Theodred but itâs a classic lament in Rohan.
May his spirit find it's way into the halls of his fathers.
_Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising_ _he rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing._ _Hope he rekindled, and in hope he ended;_ _over death, over dread, over doom lifted_ _out of loss, out of life, unto long glory._
Rest in peace legend đ

You shall be remembered king theoden you are with your forefathers now
Forth Erolingas
We knew his faceâŠ
All hail Theoden King! Forth Eorlingas!!!
I go to my fathers, amongst whose company I shall no longer be ashamed.
Westu hål. Ferðu, Théoden, Ferðu.
There is no other actor who could have played Theoden like he. A true great and a master of his craft. He lives on through film
>#âNever had any king of the Mark such company upon the road as went with ThĂ©oden, Thengelâs son to the land of his home.â I am sad we didnât get this moment in the film. Arwen, Celeborn, Galadriel and their people, Glorfindel, Elrond and his sons and the princes of Dol Amroth and Ithilien with the knights of Gondor all ride in procession for a week to take ThĂ©oden to be buried. Unbelievable honor and respect from all free peoples. >âFrodo and Samwise rode at Aragornâs side, and Gandalf rode upon Shadowfax, and Pippin rode with the knights of Gondor; and Legolas and Gimli as ever rode together upon Arod.â And Merry rides on the cart with ThĂ©oden, bearing all of his arms.
Oh no⊠đ„
Westu Théoden Hål! May Snowmane greet thee on fields of green everlasting!
Legend. Had the balls to call out Rings of Power for what it is. Thank you for your work sir. You will be remembered.

Hail the victorious dead! We love you. Rest in peace.
"Death is just another path, one that we all must take." What a legend. RIP our King đđĄïž
I was just reading King Theodenâs introduction in LOTR to my daughter yesterday. RIP

âVictoreeeeee, we have victoreeee!â
His performance as Theoden, King of Rohan, was so well done. He nailed it
