There are two types of speeches in fantasy:

"The orcs are coming! Will you abandon your lands, or will you stand and fight?"

Stand and fight, stand and fight... add that to my list of lines in fantasy I would like to never hear again. Up there with "we've got company" for the Least Engaging Set of Words award.

And then there are

"Arise, arise, riders of Rohan! Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered! A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride to Gondor!”

"A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship... but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down... but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you, stand, men of the West!"

...I don't have anything more to say than that. Sorry.
