One Does Not Simply Walk into Mordor Meme Template

This hall-of-fame meme is a screen capture from the 2001 film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. During the Council of Elrond, Boromir (played by Sean Bean) warns that the task of destroying the Ring isn't as easy as everyone thinks, famously stating, "One does not simply walk into Mordor." In meme culture, it is the definitive visual for explaining that a task is significantly more difficult, complex, or dangerous than it sounds.

• Boromir making a circular gesture with his hand (representing the Eye of Sauron or the Ring), with a serious and slightly pained expression.
• A medieval/fantasy setting that adds a sense of "epic importance" to even the most trivial modern complaints.
• The "OK" hand sign he is making has become the visual shorthand for the phrase itself.
