(LOTR) Aragorn | King 

Absolutely my favorite character in anything, ever.

Seeing merry and pippin charge the black gate before the rest of the men, gets me every time. They were so timid and afraid at the start of their quest, and now they follow the true king of Gondor into the very fires of Mordor without hesitation, without fear. For Frodo.

Hands down the absolute best character of all time. 🙌🏽

They could not have chosen a better actor to the role. Let's hear it for Viggo Mortensen !

Aragorn is such an amazing and well written character. Before The Lord of the Rings he aided both Gondor and Rohan under the alias of Captain Thoronguil and led both to victory against their enemies with low casualties, showing his skills as a leader. He traveled through the lands of the southerners, Harad, and got to now the actual people; both the good and the bad. Him and Arwen waited 47 years to get married, because papa Elrond would only allow them to if Sauron was destroyed and Aragorn crowned king; a feat he thought would be impossible, but eventually came to pass. He only entered the city as king after the steward (Faramir) gave him permission to, because he didn't want the people to see him as a conqueror taking control, but rather as a wanted king returning to his people. (It is likely he released the oath-breakers for a similar reason. An army of undead ghosts would have probably sent the wrong message.) When the Hobbits meet him in Bree, he makes it clear how for years he has longed for friendship and simple companionship during his long travels, but his rough, foul, unsavoury, hard, scuffed features were against him. He doubted himself after the disaster of Amon Hen, but Legolas and Gimili stuck with him and reassured him on his chosen path. He refused Éowyn's affections because he was committed to Arwen, and because he knew she didn't really love (at least not for the right reasons). After the war, he exalts the Hobbits, gave Drúadan Forest to the Woses as their own, allowed Rohan to exist as an independent Kingdom, formed a peace treaty with Harad, and made the Shire an independent state within the kingdom, and made it so that no big-folk could enter the Shire without the hobbits' permission, a rule he abide to himself. Alas, sadly his father died when he was an infant, and his mother died before her time from grief when he was a young man. Aragorn is an epic character, not because he was great, but because he was good. A good man, shaped by hardship and many long years, into a good king. His friends were the flame and hammer that shaped the iron into the sword.

Aragorn is the perfect-male prototype we should, as men, take example of. Loyalty, honor, bravery, courage, uprightness and strength.

Not a better person to play Aragon abousolutly prefect match

Aragorn is the purest example of masculinity. Loyalty and Honor to the people. Protective and soothing to those that need it. No mercy to those who would not give it. He understands both his own limitations and the strengths of others.

in fantasy there are very few morally pure characters with very little darkness that are actually interesting. aragorn rarely shows weakness. he makes no attempts on the ring like boromir and is a great leader and king with only a few faults. and yet he still is incredible. that’s how you can write a character who’s relatable yet also pure. not everyone has to be morally grey in fantasy to be a “good” character

"How secure do you feel in your own masculinity?" Aragorn *reading self written poetry in a rain of flowers after slaying hundreds of orcs*: Yes

On behalf of all LOTR fans, Thank you.

“My friends, you bow to no one.” *bows* He’s the King and he bowed to those who gave up everything for this journey even when he could’ve received all the glory. A true king.

the only character that makes you believe in him, that makes you actually want to follow him. the only portrayal of king in the cinematic history that earns his title

I love Aragorn. Such an interesting way of handling the "rightful heir" trope. He knows from the very beginning that he is heir to the throne of Gondor, and though he does not oppose the idea, it is not his priority. He just seems to kind of... go where the wind takes him, finds new people to care for, and attempt to die for. My mans Elessar will shake some dude's hand, go "Nice to meet you, I would most likely die for you". Awesome character, kind to his bones, and braver than most.

Imagine a king who fights his own battles - Troy/Achilles. Tolkien not only imagined him but also created him.

"I swear to you I will not let the White City fall nor our people fail." "Ride out with me... Ride out and meet them, for Rohan, for your people." "I hold your Oath fulfilled, go be at peace.." "For Frodo." My favorite character in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and one of my most favorite heroes in storytelling,. Aragorn March 1st, 2931- FO 120

This was a man I could call king! Edit: thanks for the likes guys! I wasn’t expecting this and I believe it’s the most likes I’ve got on anything lmao.

my friends always liked legolas because of his skills. But my favorite was always Aragorn. There is something so pure and majestic over his character and Viggo really made him justice!

"This is no mere ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance."

Am I the only one how cries every time I see a video by Mederecord ? Aragorn is by far the most interesting human in all the books

"If with my life or death I can protect you, I will" and he truly stood by every word he said... When Gandalf himself lost hope, he did not. And even rush to his own death based only on the belief that Frodo was still alive and just needed some time.

“There is always hope” This hits special when you you lost all hope

Our people...Our people..? I would have followed you my brother.?... my captain my King ...🗡👑 ..that was spectacular video...

When King Aragorn says “My Friends, you bow to no one.” to Frodo, Sam Merry and Pippin and everyone in Minas Tirith starts to bow IS AN ICONIC MOMENT and still sends me. There's no other actor who can portray the role ARAGORN as good as Viggo did. PERIODT.

Aragorn: I would have gone with to the end. Into the vary fires of Mordor. Frodo: I know. Man that gives me the Happy chills R.I.P Haldir and all those who served the light to keep the enemy back

From a brooding lone wolf to the king of Gondor, all hail Aragorn

Aragorn is what we must all aspire to be. Honour, strength, courage, chivalry, respect, humility, kindness, selflessness, loyalty - is there any positive character trait he doesn’t have? He’s the kind of man anyone would follow into battle. One of the greatest literary and film characters of all time. A true king of Men.

Men, take note, here is a character we can look up to in how to be a man.

They struck gold with Viggo he's as noble and extraordinary as his character is.

Good lord I’m crying. This music, these movies, they cannot be more perfect and I feel sorry for those who do not love them the same way I do.

Viggo is perfect, like he looks like a king. His delivery, screen presence and depiction of everything he stands for ❤️ Perfect casting (among other lotr casting perfection) after Peter, High king of Narnia 👏👏

The film trilogy omits a lot of details about Aragorn's actions at the Battle of Pelennor Fields (but it can be justified, since even 3 long films can't do justice to all the source material in the books). In the books, there was a belief in Gondor that "the hands of a King are the hands of a Healer." And so, Aragorn went around the Houses of Healing, nursing the wounds of his injured comrades and soldiers who were maimed by the Nazgul weapons. He was learned in the art of Elvish medicine, so the Nazgul wounds would heal better in his care. Now THAT is what I call a King.

When I was younger, I liked everything about Mortensen's Aragorn but his Danish voice. Now, watching this again, I feel that strangeness endearing, as if it brings something antique and more "Nordic" into the soul of the story.

19 years passed and still no other trio to beat this amazing movies

We really need more movies like this! Masculine camaraderie, bravery, leadership.

Your going back and forth between Aragorn and Arwen’s reunion and Aragorn and Arwen’s final separation at his death is just so haunting and powerful, especially with the intensity of the music’s climax. Makes you intensely happy and then breathlessly sad over and over as the scenes go back and forth. I get chills every time I watch it.

“They have died defending it!” showing boromir falling 😭😭😭

When you feel so connected to a character that he makes you want to become at least half the man and leader he is. I would follow Aragorn to the deepest parts of Hell and back, truly a KING in every sense of the word.

I love at the very end how it keeps flashing between Aragorn and Arwen joyful and holding one another at his coronation to Aragorn once he’s passed away with Arwen standing over him mourning. Even though they know they will be parted when he dies they still choose one another. Love that attention to detail!

Our world is need an Aragorn.

Lotr came out before I was born, I grew up with this film and Aragorn taught me that it is possible for a badass to show emotion, Boromir taught me that hero’s can make terrible mistakes but can still be a hero, Frodo told me that little hearts can be brave, Sam shows that even if your part to play is supposed to be insignificant you can still be the true hero in the tale. Merry and Pippin say that it’s important to keep a good humor in difficult situations, the Gimli and Legolas friendship tells me that it is possible for anyone to be friends, Gandalf shows that weakness can lead to strength and the badass women tell me that women can be badass too

with every book, he grows stronger; steps closer, to becoming who he was meant to be...as we all should.... one day, I hope to be as good of a writer as Tolkien was.

Lord of the rings will forever be a part of my heart, its an honour to learn about tolkien adventures.

This video perfectly encapsulates the reason why aragorn is the greatest cinematic and novel written protagonist of all time.

An aboslutely perfect character

When Aragorn *died*. Arwen died few after because of a *broken heart*

I missed the part in the end where Aragorn says "Hannon le" to Legolas one last time. I think that single phrase is just so powerful. I love it.

I see this as a battle-cry to all of us. "By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!" Though it crumbles around us, there is yet a little part of it that we wish to preserve. By blood it will be preserved!

Aragorn is the archtype to uphold, to live up to. This is the best of what each of us can be, the model of what is worthy to strive to live up to, to outpicture in our own lives. Hail the king within my being that strives to be who I AM!

I just love everything his character represents. Nothing he does is out of his self interest... it's always for the betterment or others. A true king

This remains my favourite films to watch. Reminds me of being 15 years old again, everytime.

Guys, pay attention, this is a great role model for us. Aragorn is faithful, steadfast, kind, courageous, and humble. He is devoted to his friends and willing to die for and beside them. He is unafraid of his emotions and is unafraid of being vulnerable; yet when it is needed, he is able to hold it back and be strong for those around him. Be like Aragorn, be a man. Edit: typo Edit 2: damn, after a full year, this dude is still hearting comments. Respect.

“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.”

J r r TOLKIEN is a genius for creating the greatest warrior who ever lived

One of the best characters in history, for me at least. I almost cried, seriously 😢

Such a great character played by a very great actor Viggo Mortensen

This shows that he might be from a quite small country, but still managed to be in one of the greatest movies ever. Truly a King! 💪

perfect fit. the character and actor fit perfectly

This was I spent my afternoon watching. And it was worth it.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful tribute! I was reminded once again of how much I love this character and how well Viggo Mortensen portrayed him!

King Alfred This is manliness. Wisdom, courage, strength, selflessness, stoicism.

What makes Aragorn such a fantastic character is that I WOULD follow him to battle, right to the end.

As a young lad when I first saw LOTR 15 years ago, I looked at the character of Aragorn as someone who had tremendous power yet was willing to be humble and inspire his fellow people. In the modern movies beyond 2014 I feel Hollywood has missed the mark

🌟 "Because, they love you...They will need you, before the end." "Become who you were born to be... Stand as Men, of the West!"

Aragorn is the King of Men. He embodies everything that's supposed to be decent about us.

King,leader,honor,fellowship those words go to with Aragon. I would follow this kind of man till the end,no matter what ever happens.

There will never be another Aragorn, not for many years.

Aragorn is such an epic character, well developed just as the others in the entire LOTR series. He lived a long life filled with war and sorrow and yet love and friendship. No one else could have played Aragorn better than Viggo. This series will always age well. The only character that would have even came an inch close to Aragorn was Jon Snow from GOT if horrible writers didn’t do complete utter crap on the final two seasons. Thanks for uploading.

Truly the best tribute of all time. This is a gift youve blessed us with. Thank you.

I'm in tears. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EDIT!!! I love Aragorn because he imbodies who and what true Kings should be. He is: LOYAL! He is: KIND! He is: TRUTHFUL! He is: BRAVE! He is: FAIR! He is: CONSIDERATE. He is: CARING! He is: RIGHTEOUS! He is: SELFLESS! He is: GENUINE! *HE IS A TRUE KING!!* "Long live King Aragorn! LONG LIVE KING ARAGORN!!" Aragorn is the best king in all of cinematic history.

Aragorn & Aegon aka Jon Snow, two of my favorites Kings. Viggo truly did justice to the character of Aragorn.

What a man. MY KING. I feel like Aragorn is safety and security personified. Truly is the epitome of true leadership.

Aragorn was among one of the greatest kings in middle earth, he befriended and united all the kingdoms of men elves and dwarves fighting beside members of said race, he listened to a representative of otherworldly forces (Gandalf) he then bowed to individuals who many would deem as weak and in the end he worked to help rebuild the world. A true king

Am i the only person with tears in my eyes when the video ends? 🥺🥺🥺 The best King ever!!

*This world need this man*

Literally the best character in all of fiction and a fantastic example of masculinity in a positive way

This should be the trailer for the upcoming series of the young Ranger who was destined to be the King of Men. Can you imagine a show like this? The story of how Aragorn grew up in Rivendell, finding out about his past, learning about his heritage, falling in love with Arwen, befriending Legolas, and coming to terms with his destiny. All while having little snippets of Viggo Mortensen playing an older Aragorn as an old and wise King of Gondor. I’d give everything for this show…

and btw how is it possible for cgi in this movie to still look this good for today standards?? its just insane

One of my favorite lines is when Gandalf laments that Frodo is alone and Aragorn says “Not alone, Sam went with him.” It’s such a tiny thing, but it shows that he believes in Sam. Despite the rocky beginning to their friendship, the two serve together as the backbone of the entire story and refer to each other with complete confidence.

"I bid you stand! Men of the West!" "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" "For Frodo" Probably the 3 best sequential scenes in cinematic history.

Aragorn and Theoden fighting side by side is so inspiring, two Kings drawing swords together to defend their people.

One of the best edits I’ve ever seen! Just makes me think if this existed now, it would rival Game of Thrones so much! This is what Jon Snow should have become, a true king of Westeros, and arc with heroism. This was beautiful! I love Aragon so much ❤️

Legolas is this one friend who always take you in protection and is on your side It’s cute how he is always doing this to Aragon

INCREDIBLY well done! Thank you for making this! 👍🏻👍🏻

He’s the heir to the thrown of Gondor you owe him your allegiance

"All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither Deep roots are not touched by the frost. From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadows shall spring. Renewed, shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king."

Incredible story & character. Viggo was amazing with his performance. Chills every time he says "ride out and meet them".

Gets the chills everytime when aragon leads the battle like a king even when he is hesitant to accept his kingship. Wish the part where aragon said to the hobbits, "friends, you kneel to no one" was in it too. Still a good video 👍

Aragorn has always been my favorite. This is such an amazing video! You did an amazing job!!

Let's face it... we all know Aragorn is the one and only real king out there

Beautifully put together! Extraordinary work!! You brought me back all the FEELs in a barely 5 min video !!

That sword clash with that troll. Epic!

Great edit. Thanks for this!

DEF best LOTR edit EVER!, they gathered all of his best scenes and quotes to make an outstanding video.

What a legendary character. All hail king Aragorn

Amazing not just 3 of my most favourite movies ever made but 1 of my favourite characters & there’s no one that could of done a better job. Great video.

"My friends, you bow to no one" -Aragorn to Frodo and the gang Beautifull montage, I just missed the one line above. It shows honor; even the king of gondor has respect and his limitations. One of the best montages I've ever encountered, well done mate❤

Aragorn is the greatest character in entertainment history.

The best video I have watched in a long time, thank you for putting this together! Aragorn is such an inspiring character!

Aragorn is trulya great leader and king who led his army against the enemy so gallantly.
