Did you catch a small cameo in this one? Do you think we will see Treebeard in the new Amazon series? What do you think happened to the entwives?

[@turnerh.7291]

I never knew Groot was an Ent! Could we one day see a Marvel-LOTR crossover?

[@jarilaukkanen8487]

Entwives if i remember correctly migrated over the anduin from the Old Forest to the Brown lands where they grew apples and such and teached their agriculture skills to the men living there. I guess they lived there for a long time and after Sauron burned the Brownlands at 2nd age to stop/halt advance of Last Alliance. I think that Entwives either stayed with their gardens till the end defending them and perishing, or some took for agricultural work by sauron

[@FuckGoogle2]

They embraced feminism and are all set 10 cats to a tree.

[@mattmck4711]

My theory on the entwives is that they fled north, into mirkwood where they were probably killed or corrupted.

There is something about Ents calling for loved ones "by their beautiful name" and "by their long names" that is a bit of a tear jerker.

[@geraldmorain3166]

My mother read these books to my twin brother and i .I like this

[@riz8822]

One interesting point. Sam Gamgee recalls the story of a man seeing a tree man that is an elm. Interestingly, in Norse mythology, the first two humans Ask (man) and Embla (woman) when translated are ash and elm. This could be a hint made by Tolkien that the tree man seen was actually an ent wife.

[@theo4166]

whew thats crazy, i love that theory!

[@JoshuaCurey]

Didn’t Tolkien also study old Norse? If so, that adds a little more weight to the theory IMO.

[@SeeThomasHowl]

@@JoshuaCurey He definitely did. The poetic edda and interpretations were a large part of his linguistic knowledge. I'ts linguistic roots being Germanic and Germanic being one his degrees.

[@lucaswatanabe9429]

Ents are guardians of nature, along with Tom Bombadil. Tolkien is also saying we should take care of all things natural. Trees, flowers, bushes, and animals.

[@deansch6089]

Tolkien went out of his way to say that the Entwives were "lost." He never says "dead." And when Merry and Pippin describe The Shire, Fangorn is intrigued to say the least. Tolkien never says anything but he hints very subtly that, of all places, the Entwives just might be living in the area around The Shire.

[@NerdoftheRings]

I believe in one of his letters he mentions he “thinks” they “may have” perished. It’s kind of cool that Tolkien leaves things as a mystery even to himself, though.

[@swamp033127]

@@NerdoftheRings I would like to think that he wanted to continue the story. He did a lot of work outside of the hobbit and the lord of the rings, which obviously you are aware of.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Sadly I think they perished. Tolkien's lore almost always ends in sadness.

[@untruelie2640]

@@ZiddersRooFurry I don't think so. At least, Treebeard speaks of an old foretelling; that the Ents will one time finally meet with the Entwifes again, but only after the Ents too have lost everything that they possessed.

[@untruelie2640]

@@NerdoftheRings Yes, that is really cool. I think he once said that while writing his stories, it felt like he didn't invent something new but just wrote something down which was already there.

[@MrMarinus18]

I strongly remember the line "But you're part of this world!" I was a real introvert as a teen and this really made me realize I can't pretend I'm not part of things. Also later when Mery tries to convince Pippin to just leave it he reminds him that even the Shire is part of the world and sooner or later the shire will burn if Sauron wins. You can't just retreat and shut off the world.

[@ziephel-6780]

Unlike you, this line went over my head years before as a child, I thought that moving to a warmer part of the U.S.A. and choosing to live on a mountain with family, away from the rest of the annoyance and drama would give me peace. Well it did, but it didn't last very long. I realize now what I am missing out on as a young man, but I don't know how to get out and see the rest of the world without the proper experience of driving.

[@NiedheimAuthor]

And now what? You are more of an extrovert than Bruce Vallanch?

[@jesslove8372]

Amen.

[@Bhenderson0001]

The Ents are victorious, but seem to have one of the saddest endings as the 4th age begins.

[@justinstewart4889]

This makes sense, and it lines up a great deal with how Tolkien lamented the state of the world when he was writing and even till today. His thoughts on the environment are important. In the Old Forest and in Fangorn Forest, they are painted as if holdouts of a world untouched and somewhat how they're meant to be.

[@papabonedaddy4116]

Ive always loved the story of the Ents. I hope they found their Wives. Also Baby Groot as an Enting was a nice touch.

[@thecontractor365]

I like Tolkein's hint that the Entwives are in the Shire.

[@nickdentoom1173]

Or near the Shire, which makes sense with Tom Bombadil being there.

[@warlordofbritannia]

Specifically, there’s hints that they’re supposed to live in the Old Forest, making sure the huorns refrain from massacring intruding Brandybucks

[@deusexaethera]

Not necessarily that they _are_ in the Shire, but that they _were_ in the Shire.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Maybe one of them helped the Hobbits discover pipe-weed? That sounds like something they would do, but then also tell them not to tell anyone about them. Of course there was a bad, long winter when Gandalf saw the Hobbits in extremis. If there were Ent-Wives hiding near the Shire, it might have been beyond them to help the Hobbits much or Gandalf would have seen them.

[@saltedllama2759]

Every time I think I have Tolkien's works well versed in my mind, there's always more. No one laid out a fantasy with such depth, richness, glory and sadness like Tolkien did with his beloved world.

[@priapos7]

In the book it was the Ents how built the damn to redirect the Isen river to inundate Isengard. They arrive at night and stealthily they start the attack. Really epic. The ents are one of my favorite parts of the legendarium, and I too get sad when I notice that the cities and population are growing and consuming the remnants of the ancient native flora like it was nothing.

[@teamvlcn6820]

"The Ents are going to war."

[@aahpandasrun]

The treebeard chapter is one of my favorites in the book. Just 2 hobbits and an ent trying to understand each other in a sweet comforting way, treebeard telling the hobbits stories about his tree friends of the past, and singing them a sweet song that he used to sing to baby ents.

Tolkien's novels are sad and beautiful all at the same time, you don't get writers like him anymore. You can tell he put his heart and soul into his works, he made something that'll last forever. Great video btw Nerd, your videos bring Tolkien's lore to life in ways that few can manage. I'm not one to get emotional when it comes to fantasy but you've almost gotten me to shed a few tears with how much passion you put into your videos about Tolkien's world and it shows.

[@michaelhowell2326]

Cool stuff. That bit about a squirrel being able to travel so far by treetops is a reference to the American Colonies. It was said a squirrel could travel from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico without ever touching the ground.

[@Panzer_the_Merganser]

Thanks for this; to me, the Ents are one of the most intriguing aspects to LOTR. (Treebeard pulling down part of a wall after the siege of Isengard simply to amuse himself is still a favorite moment) My only regret about the movie depiction was how they acted more dumb than slow to react. Plus the Hobbits description of truly angry Ents being terrifying, was something I’d hoped to see. Ah well, that’s why there’s always the books. 🌳

[@cerberus6654]

Years ago one Saturday afternoon in Port-of-Spain a marine tornado swept into the valley where I lived. In minutes this dark column ripped off roofs, palm tree leaves, satellite dishes and spiralled them up while the air shook and howled. A white cat flew by my deck, and I could see our gardener clinging to a poui tree but wit his body perpendicular to the ground. I remember in that moment thinking, 'the fury of the Ents'.

[@Duiker36]

I feel that it's very hard to convey unhurried intelligence as opposed to mere stupidity, especially when "quick" is one of our synonyms for "intelligent". To capture it, I think that you'd have to show the ents somehow coming to thorough, exhaustive conclusions through contemplation, and frankly, Tolkien never gave them such opportunity: Saruman's mischief was too obvious to be revealed through some kind of mental adroitness (and that kind of cleverness is anti-thematic to Tolkien's aesthetic anyways).

[@cerberus6654]

@@Duiker36 'Quick' is not a synonym for 'intelligence', Michael. 'Quick witted' yes, or 'quick on the uptake' but not in and of itself. 'Quick' is a synonym for 'fast' - and in the older English sense of the word, also a synonym for 'alive' as in 'the quick and the dead'. But otherwise, you make a great point!

[@Panzer_the_Merganser]

@@Duiker36 I agree it would have been difficult to convey the full depth and breadth of Treebeard's knowledge and intelligence, however I truly didn't appreciate that the Entmoot in the film ended with, "Welp, we gonna do nothing" only to reverse that after Treebeard is duped (and quite easily, I might add) into taking Pippen and Merry to Isengard and seeing the devastation of Saruman firsthand. Yes it gives the Hobbits agency and makes them the heroes of the scene, but their coming to Fangorn was to be a small pebble that began a landslide (or words to that effect), versus slow-witted tree-people gawk and hoot for whatever interminable length of the movie Entmoot (yes I'm ranting a little).

[@FatLittleButterfly]

Storytelling for film and for books differ because of the time constraint film makers have to deliver to the audiences. It is easier to be happy if you enjoy both for its own purposes (:

[@johns1625]

I've always had a special kind of love for the Ents. The story of losing the Entwives has made me tear up more than once.

[@edwatkins6628]

The Ent attack on Isengard in the movie of The Two Towers is still one the greatest action sequences of all time!!!!!

[@MrAshCarr]

I always thought the surviving Entwives fled to the Old Forest. Treebeard says he thinks they would have liked the Hobbit's country. Maybe what happened was so disturbing to them that they just fled till they had mountains between them and it. I'm not sure of the time line but if Arnor had already fallen they could have moved in quietly and no one would have known. It's always bugged me a little that Merry or Pippin never mention the Old Forest to Treebeard so I don't think he ever thinks to go look there.

[@bullgravy6906]

They mention it in the books, Treebeard even wonders if that’s where the wives may be.

[@TheBekken9500Isback]

Did anyone else hear February 30th and went like "that does not sound right"

[@yahccs1]

I was going to ask if there is a video about Tolkien's different calendar - which months besides February have a different number of days? I went to a talk about the history of a building once and the speaker mentioned something that happened one year on September 31st and I had to ask afterwards if he meant September 21st or 30th or October 31st. Something wasn't right!

[@emperornapoleon6204]

I love the Ents! Their conquest of Isengard was one of the most satisfying moments of the LotR for me. Such righteous and terrifying vengeance - the Orks and Saruman stood no chance.

Great, amazing video. However I am sad that you didn't read the Bregalad's Song as Quickbeam mourned over his dead rowan tree-friends: "O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië! O rowan fair, upon your hair how white the blossom lay! O rowan mine, I saw you shine upon a summer's day, Your rind so bright, your leaves so light, your voice so cool and soft: Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft! O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey; Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a day. O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!" (J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Two Towers"). I remember reading it for the first time in English (original), I remember my tears as I imagined a young Ent mourning over his dead friends... No translation, however brilliant it is, can convey the feelings depicted here....

[@Arms2]

In my opinion, the ents story and lore is the most poetic, tragic, and beautiful out of all the middle earth beings lore.

[@trouts4]

Two Towers will always be my favourite LotR movie/book. And the ents fighting back against the industrialization of Saruman is a very big part of that.

[@jesuscoyt-munoz2753]

Cool groot cameo nerd of the rings. And I believe yavana saved the entwives but decided to keep them in the undying lands in order to protect them and perhaps the entwives were too scared to return to middle earth after the war of the last alliance.

Do a travels video with the 9 nazgul! That would be so sweet. I was reading Unfinished Tales and found lots of information on where the 9 were during the fellowship of the ring that most people don’t know about. That video would do really well!

You mention how Sam tells of a cousin seeing something that could be an Ent on the North Downs. What about the story told as the hobbits enter the Old Wood of how the trees there seem to move and change the trails. Also about how the trees attacked the fence? That sounds like Huorns or ents, especially when you consider Old Man Willow

Best video yet! Also, your voice overs are so good!

I swear this is the greatest channel

I’ve been binging this channel and a few other similar ones, and the end of every video leaves me with bittersweet chills, which then leads me to watch another one.. lol

This music, narrative and lore made me want to go plant some trees. I guess the Ents and their philosophies are the peak of a pastoral masterpiece.
