We all know Treebeard was the oldest living thing in Middle Earth

>>79466846
Tolkien didn't plan everything out. Not his fault, he tried.

>>79467469
I thought Bombadil was older

>>79467469
the oldest would be Gandalf but whatever.

>Never find the Ent wives
>Tolkien wrote in a letter to someone they probably all got wiped out by Sauron

Sad.

>>79467469
>that CGI

technically Gandalf and all the Maiya are older

>>79467469
>Treebeard oldes living thing

>"Treebeard is Fangorn, the guardian of the forest; he is the oldest of the Ents, the oldest living thing that still walks beneath the Sun upon this Middle-Earth."

>"Treebeard is Fangorn, and the eldest and chief of the Ents, and when you speak with him you will hear the speech of the oldest of all living things."

what it is then,"born in middle earth" or "in middle earth during lotr"?.
the second case Gandalf and other deities win.

How can trees even talk

What is this meme

>>79467912
But ents were created by elves and Bombadil was already there when the elves showed up

>>79468330
Wait I remembered wrong. Elves didn't create them they made them intelligent

>>79467469
progressive tax

10% for bush ents
15% for conifer ents
22% top bracket for broadleaved ents

>>79468665
also a reminder that these crypto-socialist tendencies were the main reason entwives left because the private ownership rights were too weak to protect their gardens

>>79467469
Did he decide to attack Isengard due to Saruman's tax fraud when purchasing trees from the Fangorn forest?

He's not a tree, he's an Ent

>>79467469
Jacked up inheritance taxes because he knew he was going to live a fucking age

>>79468665
What about hasty ents?

>>79468865
Treebeard will get them eventually on tax evasion. It's why they became hasty, they had to learn how to move quickly; ultimately they established what is now known as the lending tree so other ents wouldn't have to move things around as quickly.

anyone else find it a bit contrived that mary and pippin go to fangorn to settle a trade dispute and end up in the middle of some crazy battle?

You mean the crooked branched ents?

>>79467829
That's fucking depressing.

"Gondor- Where was Gondor when the housing market collapsed? Where was Gondor when our creditors closed in around us!? Where was Gon- No. We are alone."

"They have taken the office and the second condo. We have launched an appeal but cannot hold them for long. The premises loses its value. Bills, bills in the dark. We cannot pay. A summons moves in the dark. We cannot pay."

>>79467912
I imagine they never even thought of Bombadil. Everyone leaves him out of their equations because of how enigmatic he is, so it might be that they just forgot.

What is his forced unfunny meme policy?
