This iconic scene originates from the 2003 epic fantasy film, 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.' During the intense Siege of Minas Tirith, the formidable Witch-king of Angmar, portrayed by Lawrence Makoare, confronts Gandalf the White, played by Ian McKellen. In the Extended Edition, the Witch-king shatters Gandalf's staff and triumphantly declares, 'You have failed!' This clip has become a staple in the meme community for representing total defeat or the crushing realization of an unsuccessful effort. It is frequently used to mock friends in gaming, highlight poor life decisions, or capture the feeling of a plan falling apart in real-time. Whether it is a failed diet or a lost match, the dramatic flair of the scene makes it a perfect reaction. Example captions include: 'My bank account watching me add things to my cart' and 'The gym equipment watching me walk past to the sauna.'
