This series had become one of my favorites years ago, with Allanon being one of my favorite characters.
Yep, same here. It’s a tie between Walker and Allanon for my favorite character.
Just started thinking about watching it, and I've never read the books.... but I'm finding your videos really useful & interesting.
Cheers!
Glad you like them, and thanks for watching.
Please do more Shannara Chronicles , because I love it and we are probably not going to get a season 3 any time soon
Waiting for the 3rd part already. Hopefully soon.
I will die if there is not a season 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 IT'S AMAZING! GREAT JOB!
Are you still alive?
ah man, loved this. Great stuff, looking forward to all you have coming and nuggets your provide. Also, took 10 minutes away from refreshing the polls page lol. Keep up the amazing work!
Ha! Thanks friend and glad I could give you a brief respite from the poll refreshing.
Just finished the series on netflix, i really hope they pick it up for a 3rd season atleast... this is by far my favorite show ive seen on netflix
I'm just became obsessed with this show seeing it for the first time in 2021
You should definitely give the books a try. They are great and there are over 20. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@CJDExplains Over 20?! I’ve only seen 5. I’m going through the books currently after the long wait and hope for season 3 has failed me.
If you see this, could you list each book so I can check them out?
I love your channel and the work you do for it, and will be looking into your fan novella of season 3 as soon as it’s all finished. I’m one who likes to binge them all at once.
The better thing to do would be go to the authors website (Terry Brooks) and check his page on reading order. There are several options listed there for how to read his books.
@@CJDExplains Will do, thank you!!!
hey, i think the music broke
That is so strange. Something happened after it was uploaded to CZcams since it sounds fine locally.
@@CJDExplains very strange o,o
He was the founder of the local Alcoholics Anonymous chapter right?
IIRC, the Sword of Shannara wasn't a particularly powerful weapon, except against something like a Lich, since all it did was force you to face your true nature (and a lich, being dead, just dies)
That was the core of its magic, but it was also the most powerful and well crafted blade in existence since it was forged by the greatest weapons maker, using old world science. Eventually it was found that like most magic in the four lands, the powers of the sword were more adaptable than first thought.
How to date release that seasion?
The music is going to make me Go outside and Kick my neighbors cat over the fence. Lmao
As I mentioned to another person, it was fine locally, something screwed up when CZcams processed it. I wish they let you replace video, but they don’t. I would have to delete this and start over. Not really a good option unfortunately. I’m going to to start uploading and then reviewing before I publish videos in the future instead of just assuming CZcams is doing the right thing.
@@CJDExplains oh man, I was just being a smart ass lol. I still watched the whole video haha. I dont expect you to re upload anything .Happy you replied though, Definitely instant click anything Shannara you post, so THANK YOU!. i mean your like the only source, at least on youtube, for accurate shannara info(non-show obviously).
Ah, okay. I feel bad then the experience I push out isn’t great. You all deserve the best I can do, so when it falls short it drives me crazy. Thanks so much for sticking around and finding value in what I’m doing, it means a lot.
@@CJDExplains You may not be able to replace the video, but it may be possible to replace the audio. Unfortunately I have no idea how...
Anyway, if you cannot find a way to fix it in place, I would still recommend you to upload a working version, because the pulsing music is extremely repulsive.
Hey man, U got any idea when we can expect to see a full episode of season 3? I am really curious and i love your work. Keep it going!
Not really sure. I’m still working on things but my private life has become crazy with deaths in the family and some other things. I’m still working, and hope to have something to share in the next few months.
Another great one. TY
Thanks for watching!
The Ellcrys Staff also enhanced Allanon's Magic in the book, The Elfstones Of Shannara, by amplifying his Druids Fire. The sword was an insulting gimmick in the tv series. The Staff's only purpose was to assist Allanon in defeating the Dagda Mor. Dagda in the Celtic language means "Good God" and is the name of the chief of the Celtic deities. The word "Mor" is most commonly defined as meaning "Die, Decay, or Death". Also, the Dagda Mor was NOT a Druid whom had been sent to the Forbidding but a powerful demon unrelated to either the Druids or Brona. While Terry Brooks was oft accused of creating The Shannara Series as plagerism of The Lord Of The Rings, it certainly was not. Like so many other fantasay series having similar characters, it is better seen and might have been better portrayed as an early Dungeons & Dragons adventure story, though TSR had no connection to Mr. Brooks. Allanothers inon survives to nearly 600 years old through use of his "Druid Sleep" magic finally giving his life to protect others in his hand-to-hand and magic battle against the demon known as a "Jachyra" Allanon enchants the Sword Of Leah giving a magicla tool to those he travels with in their quest!! It would be some 350 years later when a descendent of the Ohmsfords and Bohs, Walker, finds he controls numerous powerful magics and eventually takes on the mantle of DRUID. Unfortunately due to poor and unfocused writing by the author and perhaps a failure to read his own writing, He does NOT give Walker his due which would be to become the Spirit of The Hadeshorn, using Allanon to continue in the role erroneously until Grianne eventually takes over, also wrongly!!! At this point Brooks writings, as the televeision series, apparently become more about making money than coherency of the stories and legends, and the series shortly thereafter comes to a conclusion. The period during which the entirety of the Shannara Series take place is approximately, from the beginning of the Bearers Of The Black Staff to the last book of The Fall Of Shannara-The Last Druid, is approximately 7,500 years in duration of the stories.
When do you think the release date for season 3 will air and also take your time and don’t rush anything 👍
No idea. As a 1 person show, it’s a slow process that I can only dedicate time to when I can, which changes day-to-day.
I want start shannara chronicles season 3 please
Very good talking bout. Are they considering it coming back...?
Unfortunately not. The show is over.
There is a theory that Netflix will pick up the show and make a season three what do you think about that because I really want the show to be on canceled please get back to me you know more then me about it
All the actors are committed to other projects, it’s not going to happen.
@@CJDExplains 😔 ok thank you
Sorry friend. I know how much it sucks.
@@CJDExplains yeah it’s literally pain bro it’s so depressing is there any hope of it getting rebooted like in 3 years or something like do shows do that like has it happened
Anything is possible, and the books are so good that a studio could have years of stories. We just need to keep watching the show on Netflix and buying the books. Maybe one day it will make a comeback.
Nice vid, too bad about the music!
Seriously. It was fine in the file I uploaded to CZcams. Very frustrating.
Also thanks for watching.
