AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The meme "Where Was Gondor When the Westfold Fell?" features a quote from the 2002 film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Used out of context, the meme typically involves object labeling and photoshopped images to creatively apply the quote to humorous, fictitious, or exaggerated scenarios where help or intervention was lacking.

OriginWho did it first?

The phrase originates from a scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, where the kingdom of Rohan, under King Théoden's leadership, faces the threat of an orc invasion at Helm's Deep. When Aragorn suggests seeking aid from Gondor, Théoden retorts with "Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell?" expressing skepticism and bitterness about Gondor's absence in their time of need. The memorable line captures a moment of betrayal and despair, effectively showcased in the film scene on YouTube.^[1]
