What is the real message of Epic Fantasy?

This is actually quite simple and there is one scene, with one line in the lord of the rings movie that sums it all up.

There is a scene where Gandalf faces the Balrog. He stands on a rock bridge and slams the butt of his staff on the rock and screams at the Balrog "You shall not pass"

This is the message of epic fantasy. No matter what you face, no matter how scary or how difficult it is you must find the strength to face it. Your will and your strength can overcome any obstacle or any evil.
