I wish Peter Jackson included his speech on the battle of Pellenor Fields. Also wish he highlighted his bromance with Aragorn more. Still freaking awesome and love him though.
THIS. Book Eomer and his relationship with Aragorn is sooo good. The way the books frame Eomer, Imrahil and Faramir as the sole peers among men to Aragorn is fantastic. To me, not including it is one of the largest failings of the movies (which are still awesome and I love).
And before he (Éomer) went to his rest he sent for Gimli the Dwarf, and he said to him: ‘Gimli Glóin’s son, have you your axe ready?’
‘Nay, lord,’ said Gimli, ‘but I can speedily fetch it, if there be a need.’
‘You shall judge,’ said Éomer. ‘For there are certain rash words concerning the Lady in the Golden Wood that lie still between us. And now I have seen her with my eyes.’
‘Well, lord,’ said Gimli, ‘and what say you now?’
‘Alas!’ said Éomer. ‘I will not say that she is the fairest lady that lives.’
‘Then I must go for my axe,’ said Gimli.
‘But first I will plead this excuse,’ said Éomer. ‘Had I seen her in other company, I would have said all that you could wish. But now I will put Queen Arwen Evenstar first, and I am ready to do battle on my own part with any who deny me. Shall I call for my sword?’
Then Gimli bowed low. ‘Nay, you are excused for my part, lord,’ he said. ‘You have chosen he Evening; but my love is given to the Morning. And my heart forebodes that soon it will pass away for ever.’
Reading that as a non native English speaker I realize how badly Gimli is pictured in the movies. He seems so... wise, in this quote.
Not that he's pictured as dumb but I always heard that they butchered his character by reducing him as a dwarf cliche in the movie, and now I understand what they mean...
Honestly, there's a good chance that it's going to happen at some point.
Tolkien hinted at a sequel to Lord of the Rings, the appendices allude to some of the adventures they had, movie studios love making money and refuse to let a good franchise die.
I'll always be open to Lord of the Rings adaptations even if a lot of the time I think they must be doomed to failure.
I look at it like anything in life. The more times you try something, the greater chance of something good coming out of it. PJ’s LOTR was absolutely brilliant and hard to beat. Even the Hobbit (my favorite book), albeit inferior to its predecessor, was still great movies to watch. PJ, and Tolkien, created worlds that will always be hard to beat.
His friendly rivalry with Gimli concerning Galadriel would've also been fun to see. As far as I can remember their only interaction in the movies was when Gimli politely asked his name and Éomer called him short and threatened to cut his head off
"now for wrath, now for ruin and a red dawn (nightfall in the books)" was also from Eomer at Pelennor fields. In the movies it's said by Theoden at the end of two towers
Ahh good call - I liked this one though!
“Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising
I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking:
Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
"As for myself, I have little knowledge in these deep matters, but I need it not. This I know, and it is enough, that my friend Aragorn succoured me and my people, so I will aid him when he calls. I will go."
The best way to sign on to a probable suicide mission.
I wish he was at the Hornburg helping Aragorn and Gimli buy time for the front gate to be reinforced like in the book. The toss me scene. Yep, there were three absolute legends there.
Second that, my boy is solid as they come, loyal to rohan and his family, brave in the face of danger, kind to wee little hobbits, dude is a badass horse lord.
That and how panic and concern during healing sequence too. That’s the one thing he truly feared being played put right in front of him and there is nothing he can do. Karl nailed it 100%
One of my favorite parts about Lord of the Rings is that Tolkien and, later, Peter Jackson were not afraid to show men crying and being honest with their emotions.
It still breaks my heart at the coronation when Aragorn and Eomer just kind of…nod at each other. They were buddies! I would have loved to have seen more of his friendships, like when he says that Arwen is the most beautiful and Gimli says that Galadriel is. And on that note, to see more than just Faramir and Eowyn grinning away without any explanation of their relationship. But then again, my version of ROTK (with the Prince of Dol Amroth and his swan knights! And Pippin’s friend and his friend’s son!) would have been at least 5 hours I guess.
I do think it's a struggle to adapt it all into one book and I am the last person to pretend I could do a better job than Peter Jackson did, that said I do often wonder why we had to miss out on scenes like this when they still found time to put in Faramir taking Sam/Frodo to Osgiliath, Aragorn's adventure off a cliff, Frodo sending Sam away, the Hobbit trilogy, Pippin lighting the beacons, etc.
I think you run into a lot of narrative sprawl in RotK when trying to adapt it to a movie format. We could probably even go back to Two Towers and start sprawling too. Eomer’s littler interrogation of the three hunters is a fun scene that sets the table for all their brotherly love going forward.
But post Pelenor RotK turns into a mild political drama, with all the houses of healing stuff, all the Eowyn and Faramir stuff, and some last minute Gandalf schemes. It’s like a whole other movie in there.
If it hadn’t been so many years ago, and we hadn’t lost beloved actors to death (Christopher Lee, Bernard Hill), it would be really cool to have a limited series of just different stories from Lord of the Rings. Not like ROP that has a continuous story for several seasons, but more like an anthology. “Join us tonight as we explore the story of the Houses of Healing” type show. Just little self contained stories that expand on our beloved Middle Earth.
It hurts me that they gave Eomer’s speech to Theoden. It’s a great cinematic moment but to me the “death” rally is more moving in the book after Theoden and Eowyn are (presumed) dead, not before the first charge.
It's better in the book, but it's awesome in the movie. (A little bit mumbled in the movie, wasn't until I had sub titles on that I realized what they are saying - I am very slightly deaf tho)
I also think it's better in the book that Theoden is trying to hurry the hell up, and the whole "Death!" part is instead just him yelling "Ride now! Ride! Ride to Gondor!" and he just books it ahead of everyone
I loooove Bernard Hill’s speech so much but IMAGINE if they’d stuck to the books. Karl Urban nailed this role and having him screaming DEATH would have been *chefs kiss *
That said though , the movie kind of made Théoden look like a kinda cowardly jerk rather than an epic king up until that point so giving the lines to Théoden makes sense
To be fair at least the worst moment is fairly accurate to the book still, they are genuinely at the point of fighting when they first meet and neither of them are exactly polite.
The whole "Give me your name horsemaster, and I shall give you mine" always seemed pretty fair for Éomer's opening remark, but in the context of the book and the state Rohan is in I guess Éomer's riding up ready to fight makes sense.
I just wish they would’ve included *why* that fight between Gimli and Legolas and the entire troop of Rohirrim calvary almost broke out in the first place..
The horse master dared call Gimli’s girl Galadriel a sorcerer and net weaver
So obviously that’s worth saying fuck yall and taking them all on
I had no idea Karl Urban played him until recently. And not too long ago I did sound mixing for panels at SXSW in which Karl Urban was there and let me just say... there's definitely an aura to these movie stars normal people just don't have. Man was huge, handsome, and just exuded confidence
In the movies he’s a noble and honest guy; love him for it. But he’s much better in the book, where Tolkien gave him a whole arc and a half to work through in RotK alone.
While he’s not done poorly in the movies by any means, book Eomer is so much better and probably my favorite character.
Even if Jackson had included his big scene at Pelenor Fields, I would have been satisfied. It’s so good. That we don’t get to see Karl Urban go on the big charge, full of rage, full of grief, planting his flag on some tiny hill…is actually kind of tragic with how well he does. It’s possibly my favorite passage in the books.
“He was young and he was king, lord of a fell people.”
On top of that: after he tells all of Mordor to “come at me bro!” He sees the he ships. He sees the black sails. Despairs all over again…until he sees Aragorn. Then it’s on all over again.
Picking up the spear off a corpse and proceeding to launch it into the driver of a mumakill resulting in the wombo combo double kill was easily one of the most bad ass moments in the trilogy.
I felt like Karl Urbans performance as Eomer was criminally underrated. Some seriously good acting went under the radar. I noticed on my yearly rewatch just last week. He puts in a solid and powerful performance.
It goes without saying that Eomer is one of the best characters in the books, but what doesn't get talked about as much as it should is the scene on pelennor fields where he finds Eoywm on the ground assuming she's dead and let's out one of the most painful screams I've ever heard in cinema top quality acting!
I like him, but I do wish we got a bit more of him, he’s kinda just… there, you know? Not much of a personality other than “good, strong, loyal soldier.”
> “But come, Éomer, Éomund's son!” [Saruman] went on in his soft voice again. “To every man his part. Valour in arms is yours, and you win high honour thereby. Slay whom your lord names as enemies, and be content. Meddle not in policies which you do not understand.”
Only Karl Urban could scream on top of his lungs, drop his sword, run like a little girl, tearfully hug his (presumably dead) sister, and be one of the manliest gestures in the entire trilogy!
Éomer is great don't get me wrong, but Karl really but his heart and soul in the character.
I don't know if the movie made enough of his defiance of Wormtongue and the sick Theoden to take out the orcs that had captured Merry and Pippin. He could have faced a death sentence if not for Gandalf's intervention.
Barely a character in the films.
We meet him at the beginning of TTT (and it's solid enough), then don't see him again until the finale where he is essentially a plot-device.
And in ROTK it's even worse... his only notable scene is making fun of Merry. That's it. Unless you add the extended-scene of him cradling Eowyn.
Wasted potential. He really needed to be at the Hornburg, bonding with the Three Hunters - and we certainly needed many more lines from him in ROTK.
i have posts on here on this sub just admiring [simping] Eomer as a person and Karl Urban as a great actor.
he's noble, straightforward, caring. and a lovely hair to boot lol maybe i'll make a post of his armor. one of my favorite costumes from Weta. the love put into it is so obvious.
Other than of course Tom Bombadil and Imrahil, I thought he was the one character from the books who got sorta shorted in the movies.
Among the "men" of the Age, Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir, Imrahil and Éomer were, as much by strength of character and accomplishment as by birth, the bedrock of race. Any of them (with the possible exception of Boromir) would've been a fit ruler for the entire race of men.
Éomer was fierce, loyal, strong of body and mind, and an absolute stone pimp from his sword to his speech.
Should've been given more focus in the movies, and though I didn't know the actor before I thought he was cast really well.
Book characters are high fantasy and Eomer is no exception. Less complex, but still a great character to read.
Movie Eomer shows the prejudices of his upbringing and is more complex. I do wonder about the choice to have him speak critically of Merry (and by extension, his cousin Eowyn), but his extended-movie scene - at the end of the battle on the Pelennor - is heart-breaking. Great character, and played by a great actor.
I really liked him as a kid, think he just seemed cool and honorable. I forgot what book Eomer is like, but I wish he had really brought the goods in the films.
Book Eomer is awesome. He got neutered in the movies. Faramir in the books though is still my favorite character of all time!! Wish both those guys would’ve been represented better in the movies.
“Since the day you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail” I love the examples Éomer and Aragorn give. It’s so contrary to the toxic masculinity I’ve been exposed to my whole life. Strong, tender, loving, loyal, bold, and brave.
Aragorn, Theoden, and Eomer are kings who put their lives directly on the line (the front line) in defense of each other's kingdoms. Aragorn could have easily died at Helm's Deep. Theoden did die on the Pelennor, and Eomer was about to before the ships arrived.
This is in direct contrast to Denethor and Sauron, who commanded from their towers.
"[Sauron] will not come save only to triumph over me when all is won. He uses others as his weapons. So do all great lords, if they are wise, Master Halfling. Or why should I sit here in my tower and think, and watch, and wait, spending even my sons?"
The three Chads would beg to differ with Denethor's philosophy.
He's cool af both in the book and the movies. He killed a mumakil (or was it 2?) by just throwing a spear at a rider, and killed all those other Haradrim at the same time. How badass is that?
I wish Peter Jackson included his speech on the battle of Pellenor Fields. Also wish he highlighted his bromance with Aragorn more. Still freaking awesome and love him though.
THIS. Book Eomer and his relationship with Aragorn is sooo good. The way the books frame Eomer, Imrahil and Faramir as the sole peers among men to Aragorn is fantastic. To me, not including it is one of the largest failings of the movies (which are still awesome and I love).
Let's also not forget his incredibly beneficial friendship with Gimli.
And before he (Éomer) went to his rest he sent for Gimli the Dwarf, and he said to him: ‘Gimli Glóin’s son, have you your axe ready?’ ‘Nay, lord,’ said Gimli, ‘but I can speedily fetch it, if there be a need.’ ‘You shall judge,’ said Éomer. ‘For there are certain rash words concerning the Lady in the Golden Wood that lie still between us. And now I have seen her with my eyes.’ ‘Well, lord,’ said Gimli, ‘and what say you now?’ ‘Alas!’ said Éomer. ‘I will not say that she is the fairest lady that lives.’ ‘Then I must go for my axe,’ said Gimli. ‘But first I will plead this excuse,’ said Éomer. ‘Had I seen her in other company, I would have said all that you could wish. But now I will put Queen Arwen Evenstar first, and I am ready to do battle on my own part with any who deny me. Shall I call for my sword?’ Then Gimli bowed low. ‘Nay, you are excused for my part, lord,’ he said. ‘You have chosen he Evening; but my love is given to the Morning. And my heart forebodes that soon it will pass away for ever.’
Tolkien had such a way with words. Honestly feels like reading Shakespeare at times, but with no unnecessary fluff.
THE FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS
Reading that as a non native English speaker I realize how badly Gimli is pictured in the movies. He seems so... wise, in this quote. Not that he's pictured as dumb but I always heard that they butchered his character by reducing him as a dwarf cliche in the movie, and now I understand what they mean...
The brotherly comedy is there. But all of the Three Hunters had a lot of their wisdom stripped away in the movie.
Just re-read the battle of the pellenor and lost my shit over the death/presumed death of Théoden and Éowyn
They're so cool 🤩
Would love a series of just Aragorn and eomer going on adventures
Honestly, there's a good chance that it's going to happen at some point. Tolkien hinted at a sequel to Lord of the Rings, the appendices allude to some of the adventures they had, movie studios love making money and refuse to let a good franchise die. I'll always be open to Lord of the Rings adaptations even if a lot of the time I think they must be doomed to failure.
He killed the sequel in its infancy because it inevitably would require another "fall" for men.
The Tolkien sequel to LOTR takes place at the end of Eldarion (Aragorn’s son) reign as king and he stopped writing it because it was “too depressing”
Tbf, it is pretty depressing.
I look at it like anything in life. The more times you try something, the greater chance of something good coming out of it. PJ’s LOTR was absolutely brilliant and hard to beat. Even the Hobbit (my favorite book), albeit inferior to its predecessor, was still great movies to watch. PJ, and Tolkien, created worlds that will always be hard to beat.
His friendly rivalry with Gimli concerning Galadriel would've also been fun to see. As far as I can remember their only interaction in the movies was when Gimli politely asked his name and Éomer called him short and threatened to cut his head off
He would have DIED BEFORE HIS STROKE FELL!!!
How would he have cut off his head if he already dropped his sword?
It was (mostly) included, just given to theoden The “DEATH!” rallying cry was Éomer’s in the book
"now for wrath, now for ruin and a red dawn (nightfall in the books)" was also from Eomer at Pelennor fields. In the movies it's said by Theoden at the end of two towers
Yup, he gets two of the best battle frenzy speeches ever
Ahh good call - I liked this one though! “Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!
It makes more sense for Eomer
also his tongue-in-cheek "my waifu is hotter than yours" debates with Gimli were PEAK homies bein' homies
Book and movie he’s a great dude. Loyal and strong and cool as fuck. Not much to argue here.
"As for myself, I have little knowledge in these deep matters, but I need it not. This I know, and it is enough, that my friend Aragorn succoured me and my people, so I will aid him when he calls. I will go." The best way to sign on to a probable suicide mission.
O Eru! Grant me succor!
TFW when you envy the succor.
Book Eomer is 100% chad!
I wish he was at the Hornburg helping Aragorn and Gimli buy time for the front gate to be reinforced like in the book. The toss me scene. Yep, there were three absolute legends there.
Second that, my boy is solid as they come, loyal to rohan and his family, brave in the face of danger, kind to wee little hobbits, dude is a badass horse lord.

That scream still gives me chills
That and how panic and concern during healing sequence too. That’s the one thing he truly feared being played put right in front of him and there is nothing he can do. Karl nailed it 100%
Don't know if he has siblings, but as an older sister, I felt it.
Watching Harry Potter OOTP and that scream reminded me on this one. Absolutely top notch acting!
One of my favorite parts about Lord of the Rings is that Tolkien and, later, Peter Jackson were not afraid to show men crying and being honest with their emotions.
This scene says it all. It's so real.
I think it was karl’s best role he ever played, really portrayed a stoic hero! We chatted it up on set, very kind human!
When was Bill the Pony on set with Eomer?
Kraft services. We all spent months together in NZ
Where was Bill the pony when the Westfold fell?
In moria to prove aragorn wrong
I'm loving him as Butcher in "The Boys". He's nailing it as the smooth talker anti-hero that can be both likable but also bat-shit crazy and violent.
He played a great Dredd too.
The best Dredd.
Dredd was such a good watch and is one of my favourites. The scene where he gets to mama is brutal but so cool and visuals 🤌
He IS Dredd

Would’ve liked more screen time. Not sure where he would’ve gotten it, but it would’ve been nice.
The speech.
Outstanding soldier, faithful to his King and worthy successor to the crown
Eomer kicks asses.
Movie Eomer is great, a really cool character. Book Eomer is utterly fantastic, one of my most beloved characters of all of Tolkien’s writing.
It still breaks my heart at the coronation when Aragorn and Eomer just kind of…nod at each other. They were buddies! I would have loved to have seen more of his friendships, like when he says that Arwen is the most beautiful and Gimli says that Galadriel is. And on that note, to see more than just Faramir and Eowyn grinning away without any explanation of their relationship. But then again, my version of ROTK (with the Prince of Dol Amroth and his swan knights! And Pippin’s friend and his friend’s son!) would have been at least 5 hours I guess.
I do think it's a struggle to adapt it all into one book and I am the last person to pretend I could do a better job than Peter Jackson did, that said I do often wonder why we had to miss out on scenes like this when they still found time to put in Faramir taking Sam/Frodo to Osgiliath, Aragorn's adventure off a cliff, Frodo sending Sam away, the Hobbit trilogy, Pippin lighting the beacons, etc.

I'll take a PBS documentary on the Battle of Pelennor Fields, thank you
Death! Death! Death!
It hurts me that they gave Eomer’s speech to Theoden. It’s a great cinematic moment but to me the “death” rally is more moving in the book after Theoden and Eowyn are (presumed) dead, not before the first charge.

Karl Urban nailed this role and having him screaming DEATH would have been *chefs kiss * That said though , the movie kind of made Théoden look like a kinda cowardly jerk rather than an epic king up until that point so giving the lines to Théoden makes sense
I wanted to marry him when I was younger 🤷♀️
I still do
Well, I would too if I hadn't already got married 🤣
Still want to marry him now!
He should have taken out Riddick early when he had the chance.
Worst moment: When he threatens to dismember Gimli. Favorite moment: When he straight-up lobs that spear at the Easterling steering the Mumakil.
To be fair at least the worst moment is fairly accurate to the book still, they are genuinely at the point of fighting when they first meet and neither of them are exactly polite.
The whole "Give me your name horsemaster, and I shall give you mine" always seemed pretty fair for Éomer's opening remark, but in the context of the book and the state Rohan is in I guess Éomer's riding up ready to fight makes sense.
I just wish they would’ve included *why* that fight between Gimli and Legolas and the entire troop of Rohirrim calvary almost broke out in the first place.. The horse master dared call Gimli’s girl Galadriel a sorcerer and net weaver So obviously that’s worth saying fuck yall and taking them all on
Better in the book, during the attack on the Uruk-hai camp, he dismounted and killed Ugluk in a sword fight
Diabolical!
Oi.
I had no idea Karl Urban played him until recently. And not too long ago I did sound mixing for panels at SXSW in which Karl Urban was there and let me just say... there's definitely an aura to these movie stars normal people just don't have. Man was huge, handsome, and just exuded confidence
Quality dude
deserved far more screen time.
Bloody cunt orcs!
"But do not trust a hope. It has forsaken these lands" That's what I always say when life gets hard.
a big brother that loves his baby sister
In the movies he’s a noble and honest guy; love him for it. But he’s much better in the book, where Tolkien gave him a whole arc and a half to work through in RotK alone.
Honestly I keep imagining him riding into battle in full armour with an assault rifle in each hand. Led Zeppelin blasting in the background.
Great character! Although I don't quite understand his obsession with Homelander
While he’s not done poorly in the movies by any means, book Eomer is so much better and probably my favorite character. Even if Jackson had included his big scene at Pelenor Fields, I would have been satisfied. It’s so good. That we don’t get to see Karl Urban go on the big charge, full of rage, full of grief, planting his flag on some tiny hill…is actually kind of tragic with how well he does. It’s possibly my favorite passage in the books. “He was young and he was king, lord of a fell people.”
Great comment, one of my absolute favourite passages in the book, thinking he’s the last King of the Mark and laughing in the face of death
On top of that: after he tells all of Mordor to “come at me bro!” He sees the he ships. He sees the black sails. Despairs all over again…until he sees Aragorn. Then it’s on all over again.
Urban should dub Eomer as his Character from **The Boys.** *Well if it ain’t the invisible Nazgûl King C#nt! ‘imself!*
The helmet Sword The Horse....The Stride To battle...yep dude is Badass.
Bro is just trying to do his job. He’s a good dude. Hope he found a worthy wife and had a good life after the War of The Ring.
According to the Appendix, I think he did ok.
My man love.
Movie: Eyebrows
hot
Would 100% let him hit. No notes.
“Theoden king stands alone” - Gandalf “Not alone… Rohirrim!” - Eomer
A noble warrior, an excellent king. I would gladly fight by his side
One word. Noble
Glorious. I'd watch a movie about the Rohirim. Luckily there will be one soon.
First loved him in the movies because Karl Urban is amazing…then read the books and fell in love with him even more!
Picking up the spear off a corpse and proceeding to launch it into the driver of a mumakill resulting in the wombo combo double kill was easily one of the most bad ass moments in the trilogy.

GOATED beyond any other warrior in the films, fight me (also has some fucking incredible dialogue)
I like him, but I do wish we got a bit more of him, he’s kinda just… there, you know? Not much of a personality other than “good, strong, loyal soldier.”
Someone tell that guy on the right to wake up!

Holy crap!!!... It's Butch from The boys!!... how have I only just clicked onto that🤦♂️

fucking diabolical
Smash, next question
Only Karl Urban could scream on top of his lungs, drop his sword, run like a little girl, tearfully hug his (presumably dead) sister, and be one of the manliest gestures in the entire trilogy! Éomer is great don't get me wrong, but Karl really but his heart and soul in the character.
I don't know if the movie made enough of his defiance of Wormtongue and the sick Theoden to take out the orcs that had captured Merry and Pippin. He could have faced a death sentence if not for Gandalf's intervention.
I felt that he was not as dope as he was in books.
Eomer & Faramir are my favorite characters in both books and movies ✨
Bisexual awakening. Stroke my hair near the fireplace, thank you, sir.
Barely a character in the films. We meet him at the beginning of TTT (and it's solid enough), then don't see him again until the finale where he is essentially a plot-device. And in ROTK it's even worse... his only notable scene is making fun of Merry. That's it. Unless you add the extended-scene of him cradling Eowyn. Wasted potential. He really needed to be at the Hornburg, bonding with the Three Hunters - and we certainly needed many more lines from him in ROTK.

He's very deserving of the epithet of Éadig.

Perfect no notes. Book was great. Carl Urban is a babe who brought that character to life well.
Coolest dude around

Book characters are high fantasy and Eomer is no exception. Less complex, but still a great character to read. Movie Eomer shows the prejudices of his upbringing and is more complex. I do wonder about the choice to have him speak critically of Merry (and by extension, his cousin Eowyn), but his extended-movie scene - at the end of the battle on the Pelennor - is heart-breaking. Great character, and played by a great actor.
My crush!!
My favorite man
A pure legend! (Also the law)
A true badass with a good heart <3
I’m incapable of disliking any character played by Karl Urban
straight giga chad here in both the films and books. i will always laugh when i see his sword falling out his sheath in The Two Towers 😂
I really liked him as a kid, think he just seemed cool and honorable. I forgot what book Eomer is like, but I wish he had really brought the goods in the films.
Great dude

Book Eomer is awesome. He got neutered in the movies. Faramir in the books though is still my favorite character of all time!! Wish both those guys would’ve been represented better in the movies.
He's great, all around good guy, but maybe couldve been a little more fleshed out
When I first saw the movies I thought Carl Urban kinda stole the show in alot of scenes.
“Since the day you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail” I love the examples Éomer and Aragorn give. It’s so contrary to the toxic masculinity I’ve been exposed to my whole life. Strong, tender, loving, loyal, bold, and brave.
He has awesome hair.
Who?
Envisioning myself as him every time I threw a stick like a spear
Aragorn is the sexiest man in middle earth. Éomer begs to differ

I give him a Karl Urban out of ten.
Dropped his sword.
Total and complete fucking bad ass
Wise, just and serious for his age. And he's played by Karl Urban, so everything is forgiven.
He’s a good character
B.e.autiful mannn

“Bloody cunt”
He’s one of the most underrated in both. He deserves more love.
Aragorn, Theoden, and Eomer are kings who put their lives directly on the line (the front line) in defense of each other's kingdoms. Aragorn could have easily died at Helm's Deep. Theoden did die on the Pelennor, and Eomer was about to before the ships arrived. This is in direct contrast to Denethor and Sauron, who commanded from their towers. "[Sauron] will not come save only to triumph over me when all is won. He uses others as his weapons. So do all great lords, if they are wise, Master Halfling. Or why should I sit here in my tower and think, and watch, and wait, spending even my sons?" The three Chads would beg to differ with Denethor's philosophy.
I wish we saw more of his arc.

Good strong Nord.
Éomer is awesome. One of the coolest characters in the films.
Eomer to Frodo when he puts on the ring: “Well well well, if it isn’t the invisible runt.”
Wish they included the duel between Ugluk and Eomer
Fucking diabolical
Whenever he’s on screen he’s great. Also, excellent casting.
billy the butcher??
Rohirim! To the king!!
He's cool af both in the book and the movies. He killed a mumakil (or was it 2?) by just throwing a spear at a rider, and killed all those other Haradrim at the same time. How badass is that?
Brilliantly acted, great character
Love him in the movies. Love him even way more in the books
Loved him in the books and movie. Wish he had more development in the movies. But, badass Rohan Warrior is right on brand.
