The Ents are perhaps the saddest and most angry of all the free peoples. However even with all they endured even when the dam broke and they began their last march even then they were not hasty in their persuit and treebeard had a lot to do with all of that. His song was indeed the song of fangorn.
@@mitcharcher7528 indeed my friend. Never had a race in middle earth suffered so much and yet did not act in haste or anger. Instead they held a long and slow council and rarely marched to war (though they did take part in some key battles during the events of the silmarilian). They are by nature a compassionate and nurturing race.
Treebeard would honestly be the kind of guy to crack open a cold beer with and just chat with him on a cool spring day. Though it does make me wonder what an Ent of the Amazon Rainforest would look like.
I was Infantry for 27 years, 4 of which was in Panama where I spent about 9 months of the year in the jungle living out of my rucksack. Hard as hell at times and just astoundingly incredible and humble almost always. Amazon Treebeard: Roots stretching well above ground without deep root systems, triple canopy with a lot of life living in his hair so to speak. Host to many species, not just bark and wood. Chilled out as he provides shade from triple canopy (it would drop at least 10F when we got under canopy). Scoffs at technology. You would watch a patrol walk into the treeline from the DZ/LZ and lose radio contact in seconds. Tech just doesn't work in there. Have a great day. LOL Amazon Treebeard. Or is it Tree Beered? I am going with the latter.
We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom! We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-runa runa runa rom! To Isengard!

“There is no word in Entish, Elvish, or any of the tongues of Men to describe such treachery…a wizard should know better!”-Treebeard Peter Jackson’s Two Towers
I’m on East West Road, toward Weathertop. “Nobody cares for the woods anymore.” Don’t worry Treebeard, some still do. I plant a couple trees every year.
I think Tom Bombadil must be _much_ older than Treebeard. Tom was there before the first drop of rain or the first acorn fell. He was there before Melkor came to Arda (which would make him older, in one sense, than the Ainur). Treebeard was old, but not older than that.
One theory that I've heard, tho I don't recall which YT channel, is that Tom is the literal representation of the song of creation itself, which is why he wasn't affected (effected? English is weird) by the One Ring
Hi 😀 I think Tom says he was there before Melkor descendes from outside to Arda, I understand this to be the instance when Melkor left the void beyond Earth to attack the two lamps 🤔 He was not the Dark Lord yet when he entered Ea (which is the universe that contains Arda) and some of the wording between Tom's account and the description of Melkor's attack is similar. Anyway, I agree that Tom should be older than Fangorn, as it seems that Tom saw the first plants grow. But it may be that they spent the same amount of time in Middle-Earth, as this continent was formed after Melkor's assault I mentioned earlier.
How is this for Epic Best Friendship: Tolkien based TreeBeard of C.S Lewis, the Creator of Narnia!!! Treebeard besides being an Ent has great words to live by, "Don't be Hasty" is a personal favorite, and could be applied very much now!!! Thanks Mellon, for a relaxing video on Treebeard...Until the *3 or more* houses of Men, Marion Baggins Out!!!
"We have just agreed...................................................................you are not orcs." The very spirit of the forest, and all that grows. If anyone ever stands besides a giant redwood you'll think of Treebeard and know what it's like to be near something so old and strong and long-lived ❤ I really hope he found the Entwives, or at least found out what happened to them🥺
Thinking of the Entwives makes me really sad. I like to think that they took up refuge and hid in the Shire, which is why the shire is so lush and prosperous. I like to think the Ents were reunited with the Enteives.
Ah Treebeard! Every good climbing tree when I was a small hobbit was known as Treebeard to me. Great look at one of my favourite characters, my friend!
It's on my wishlist that a Tolkien- loving author would write some other stories. One of them would be that Ents eventually get together with the Entwives.
Yavanna's Onodrim served a crucial role in Middle Earth and much is owed to them, both before and after the War of the Ring, and to Treebeard above all. It is sad that the over time their numbers continued to wane to the point the Fourth Age was their last, the world is a sadder place without them.
One of my favorite characters in the entire legendarium. The entwives disappearing makes me cry every time I get to it in the books. Thank you for the video!
I recall seeing or hearing somewhere that folks wondered if Tom Bombadil and Treebeard weren’t two aspects of the same being. Regardless, I’m sure a conversation between them would’ve been interesting indeed.
I wonder about the Ents that didn't make it to the Entmoot. Perhaps the journey was too far. Say the Blue mtns or forest east or north around Rhun. How many still wander Middle earth in the Fourth age?
I like to think that Merry and Pippin met Treebeard one last time, when they left their holdings and positions in the Shire and retired to Minas Tirith. Surely they would have taken the opportunity to seek him out, and for Treebeard, hardly any time would have passed since he saw them after the fall of Sauron.
Often when I walk my dog Strider (white Warg) in my forested back lot and free the young trees from their bent snowy traps I feel like Treebeard. then when I harvest the older trees for firewood I hope that Treebeard or any other Ents are not present.
The Old Forrest and the Old Man Willow. I know that he is more Huorn than Ent, still a connection. It's not the Tom Bombadil Forrest. If you haven't already, will you do a spotlight on the Old Forrest please.
It was actually really clever to change the "Old Willow" encounter from happening in the Old Forest in "The Fellowship" to happening in Fangorn in "The Two Towers" and therefore changing Tom Bombadil to Treebeard being the one to save them. This way Peter Jackson was able to keep the entire encounter without having to introduce beloved yet distracting Tom Bombadil. Even tho I personally would have kept the Barrow Whites sequence and only give a hint to what or who might have saved the 3 Hobbits. I faint "and his boots are yeloooww" in the distance or something
"Let's not be hasty............................................................................................................................................................................ I promised Gandalf to keep you safe, and safe is where I'll keep you"🌳. Treebeard has been main favourite since the first time reading LOTR in late 1980's, early 90's. The movie bought him to life pretty close to how I had imagined him🌳✌️......................................................and in ways I couldn't have dreamt him to be❤️🌳.
Thanks for this video, hearing about the various aspects of Middle Earth gives me a peaceful feeling much like the books do. I think you made a minor mistake: The Ents decided NOT to enter the war during their council. It was when they perceived what Saruman had done to the forest that they responded with their fury.
Thanks for the support Steve! In the movie, that is how it happened, with them deciding not to go to war, but in the book, their deliberations during the council took them to the decision that Saruman should be opposed. They already knew the extent of his devastation to their forest.
Ents certainly used stone in their dwellings; both Treebeard and Quickbeam did, in the two canon examples. And the assault on Isengard shows Ents could shape stone even more rapidly and effectively than Dwarves. Stone, flowing water and living trees seem to be the constants for Ent-houses.
Is your castle old decrepit, and boring? Well say no more, just call 1-800-ENTMOOT and the ents will be there within a year to pim out that shabby old thing.
I'm not 100% sure on the details, but supposedly, in Middle Earth lore, at some point after the War of the Ring, there was said to be a sighting of something in the Shire that would suggest the possibility of Entwives still existing. It was a something Tolkien wrote with the intent of giving hope.
Hey Yoysten! Quick question: I always thought that it was Elrond (at least in my mind) that had the most heart breaking story. I've spent more time in putting myself in the shoes of Turin. I know you've done videos on both of them before but I guess I wanted your opinion on it. Not like it's a competition or anything but who do you think has the saddest story in Middle-Earth's history? Holy smokes! I didn't realize my membership was up..
'I am I, Fangorn Treebread, The Shepherd of these Woods.' With apologies to Joe Darion, Mitch Leigh, and Dale Wasserman. And ultimately, to Miguel de Cervantes.
He came, I think to Fangorn ultimately because the Numenoreans used the Great Forest of Eriador in their ship building. Which is why the Gwathlo is named as it is, even though it is bare of trees.
I wonder if anyone has talked about How and Why sarumon became Of Many Colors. I'm sure it has to do with him being a mijar(kind of like how the angels manifest their powers in Lucifer), but I'm curious on the how and why, if it is just his will to change or of it was a gift of sauron because his change didn't happen like Gandalfs did.
Wouldnt it be great if this video was in Entish? We could watch it for far longer and understand Fangorn on a far deeper level as his name in Entish is also the very long story of his life.
Great video as always yoysten love to learn more about middle earth I have learnt 10 times more knowledge from this channel than I have reading all the books
I’ve never understood why the elves of Lorien didn’t visit or interact with the Ents and Fangorn Forest...they were nearby neighbors...the Elves would delight in the Ents...and Ents would almost certainly be overjoyed by the trees and land under the influence of Galadriel. Personally, if I were Tolkien, I would have integrated that relationship but stubborn “isolationist”/neutrality into the overall story. Merry and Pippen could of course still have been pivotal in stirring them to consider going to war.
@@timonsolus When Telperion and Laurelin were destroyed by Melkor and Ungoliant, Yavanna stated that there were things she could create only once in Arda. Perhaps the Ents and Ent wives were one of such things? When you consider Galadriel's prophecy that she and Treebeard would not meet again until the lands were remade, it seems so.
Remember, only you can prevent forest fires. "No," Treebeard would say. "Fire is how the forests renew themselves. All forest must burn every five to seven years years. Harmless ground fires, When they're kept small forest fires do not harm the trees such as myself. Tend the wild fires well and lite them in the spring of the year, or in the fall, when it's safe."
We arent quite sure of Treebeards age, we arent even sure if hes the first nor the eldest since they do seem to produce offspring. Ive always thought Treebeard to be of the first line of Ents not the first to wake from oblivion...
I wonder if Fangorn or any other ancient ents would have chosen to cross the sea to the undying lands? Sounds like there was nothing to suggest that happened in all Tolkien wrote.
I can not remember was Fangorn the last bastion of the Ents or could they be found in other older forests? Or is it one of those we think so but not certain type things?
I think they were created before, as the Dwarves were, but were likely not allowed to awaken until after the Elves, since they were a reaction to the Dwarves but it was Eru's will that the Elves awaken first.
@@MenoftheWest that would make sense. I remembering Aule was told he was a very very bad boy by Illuvatar lol. So was curious about the Yavanna end. Thx!
@@MenoftheWest I don’t agree here. The Ents aren’t counted as one of the ‘races’ of Middle Earth… elves, dwarves, and men. They are guardians, as were the great eagles. The text as I read it have the Ents rising before the elves (“‘Ere Elf sang or hammer rang”).
@@Enerdhil The Elves are the eldest “children of Iluvatar. “ That’s a title in Tolkien’s world, and they’re often spoken of in that manner in the Silmarillion. It speaks to their relationship to the other children, dwarves and men. 'It is not wizardry, but a power far older,' said Gandalf: 'a power that walked the earth, ere elf sang or hammer rang. Ere iron was found or tree was hewn, When young was mountain under moon; Ere ring was made, or wrought was woe, It walked the forests long ago. ' Before elves sang is old indeed. :-) Additionally Celeborn addresses Fangorn as “Eldest.” It’s only fan speculation, to my knowledge, but Cirdan the Shipwright may have awakened at Cuiviénen.
@@ms.debourghofrosings6829 While I agree the texts are contradictory between Treebeard's hymn and Gandalf's comments, keep in mind when the elves awoke they did not immediately know how to write words or sing - the first language was developed by Elves well after their initial awakening. It could be both are correct - before elves sang (but after they had awoken) the Ents were awoken.
So Saruman can trow firebolts and certanly other kind of magic but just stands by and does nothing while the Wents kill his minions and destroy the dam?
Treebeard is one of the most melancholic character of the entire legendarium, even more than the Elves. His words convey a sense of loss and nostalgia
Well said. I had never considered this perspective so deeply, and yet so succinctly.
Treebeard is the oldest creature in middle earth aside from Tom Bombadil. Naturally, he has the weary of the world.
"We are on no one's side, because no one is on our side" Sad words ringing sadder in our world right now :/
The Ents are perhaps the saddest and most angry of all the free peoples. However even with all they endured even when the dam broke and they began their last march even then they were not hasty in their persuit and treebeard had a lot to do with all of that. His song was indeed the song of fangorn.
They felt rage and loss, but they were never ruled by those feelings.

The sheer diversity of these images of Treebeard is staggering, possibly more than any of the Tolkien characters I've seen depicted in pictures.
Finglas and Fladrif, along with Fangorn, were the last of the Ents of the Elder Days. The rest were at least an age younger than those three.

In the ROTK, when they arrive in Isengard, treebeard addresses Gandalf (incredibly old being) as “young master Gandalf”’

The body of Gandalf was younger even if the spirit was older.
He could’ve just assumed he was younger if he hadn’t seen him until he arrived in middle earth

Do you think you could bonsai an ent...? asking for a friend...
Gandalf says to Theoden "When you see him, you will learn much. For Treebeard is the oldest living thing in Middle Earth".
You should do videos of Ents, Entwives, or Yvanna around Earth Day. Great video as always.

I can't believe Treebeard beat out the Legolas history remake. ButTreebeard is certainly an amazing character.
Keep these great videos coming! They make me positively hasty to finish "The Great Tales" and read more books of Arda and Middle Earth.
You didn't mention the Ents taking care of the Orcs in the Battle of the Wold, where a force Sauron sent north invaded Rohan over the Entwash.
What if Treebeard only and his followers made penthouses out of stone?

Watching this, I wonder why the gods did not make a new Ent wife. I should be in their power to do so right?
Perhaps, like Melkor, the rest of the Valar became less powerful over time as they used up their power to create things.

Remember, only you can prevent forest fires. "No," Treebeard would say. "Fire is how the forests renew themselves. All forest must burn every five to seven years years. Harmless ground fires, When they're kept small forest fires do not harm the trees such as myself. Tend the wild fires well and lite them in the spring of the year, or in the fall, when it's safe."

what do you think Yoysta what did Sam's cousin saw in the northfarthing of the shire?was it an ent?entwife or a huorn?
Plants are your friends, if only you seek to know them😃🌲
Did the Ents Yavanna created come after or before the awakening of the first Elves?
I think they were created before, as the Dwarves were, but were likely not allowed to awaken until after the Elves, since they were a reaction to the Dwarves but it was Eru's will that the Elves awaken first.
@@MenoftheWest that would make sense. I remembering Aule was told he was a very very bad boy by Illuvatar lol. So was curious about the Yavanna end. Thx!
@@MenoftheWest I don’t agree here. The Ents aren’t counted as one of the ‘races’ of Middle Earth… elves, dwarves, and men. They are guardians, as were the great eagles. The text as I read it have the Ents rising before the elves (“‘Ere Elf sang or hammer rang”).
@@Enerdhil The Elves are the eldest “children of Iluvatar. “ That’s a title in Tolkien’s world, and they’re often spoken of in that manner in the Silmarillion. It speaks to their relationship to the other children, dwarves and men.
'It is not wizardry, but a power far older,' said Gandalf: 'a power that walked the earth, ere elf sang or hammer rang. Ere iron was found or tree was hewn, When young was mountain under moon; Ere ring was made, or wrought was woe, It walked the forests long ago. '
Before elves sang is old indeed. :-) Additionally Celeborn addresses Fangorn as “Eldest.” It’s only fan speculation, to my knowledge, but Cirdan the Shipwright may have awakened at Cuiviénen.
@@ms.debourghofrosings6829 While I agree the texts are contradictory between Treebeard's hymn and Gandalf's comments, keep in mind when the elves awoke they did not immediately know how to write words or sing - the first language was developed by Elves well after their initial awakening. It could be both are correct - before elves sang (but after they had awoken) the Ents were awoken.
So Saruman can trow firebolts and certanly other kind of magic but just stands by and does nothing while the Wents kill his minions and destroy the dam?
Treebeards wife left him because he couldn't keep his forest clean and he spent all day watching the trees.
