Saruman is the corrupted wizard played by Christopher Lee in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, released in 2002. From Isengard he raises an Uruk-hai army to crush Rohan, setting up the march toward Helm's Deep. The short declaration was lifted from that buildup and shared online as a dramatic cue for impending conflict. Its lasting appeal comes from Lee's authoritative delivery, which lets creators borrow epic stakes for gaming pushes, arguments and reveals that are far less serious.
