>not even one ent dies

Source?

>>85244014
if it's not shown then it didn't happen

Have you read the books? The Ents are the most melodramatic fuckers ever. They spend pages and pages rambling about whether or not they're going to do shit.

>>85244014
only one ent gets slightly injured by fire but he puts the fire out in water and is fine again.

The ents were old and few. They legitimately believed they were weak before they got woke to Saruman.

>>85243947
>>85244048
>>85244119
Don't several get swept away by the water?

Isn't that the point of the Ents? They make a mountain out of a molehill, so to speak.

Probably assumed that Saruman wouldn't have left his entire fortress only defended by like 100 orcs

>>85245435
im sure some will also die of old age later on, but thats not what i meant.

>>85243947
he says that because he didn't know Saruman would be completely weakened by spending all his magic on raising Uruk armies. It's explained in the movie if you paid attention. Had Saruman been at full strength, he could have just come out of the tower and solo'd the ents.

>>85245540
I can't even disagree with the dude, really, he's not doing anything wong, you should care about your ethnic interests.

>>85245643
Right, but white people aren't allowed to care about their ethnic interests

Despite us being an actual minority in the world because we don't breed like the savages do

>>85245844
I know, I know. Honestly, I'd still punch him in the face. Still, not wrong, I just wish we did the same.

>>85245867
That's the only reason I'm pissed off really, it is perfectly natural to improve conditions for your tribe and therefore your race as they share your blood

But in these unequal times we just lose all our rights and get told we are privileged. I've lost lots of friends to arguments about what exactly we are privileged about. I personally have been dirt poor my entire life

In short, fuck that uppity nigger

Fucking Ents jumping my boy Saruman when he is out of mana.

>>85246030
yeah, goose bump inducing, still kinda funny when you notice it.

>>85245609

this, Saruman was way more powerful back in Ent's day.

Why didn't the Ents send trees to Minas Tirith?

>>85246978
When they were in their Ainur form, maybe. But Saruman as a Wizard is leagues beneath Treebeard.

>>85247271
You are forgetting that Saruman expected to completely roll Rohan at the Hornburg and already had his sights set on Gondor before getting completely BTFO by Gandalf

How could they die when Galadriel was riverdancing around them?

What exactly was the Ents tax policy?

>>85245540
>I ain't paying money to always see one type of person on screen
>what the fuck, no way he said that, literally sounds like /pol/ bait
>google it
yep, he a hood nigga

>>85247561
I don't think the Ents know what tax is

>>85243947
For all he knew he was wandering into a hornets nest. Luckily all the Uruk-hai had marched off, leaving only workers and a small garrison.

>>85245609
When is this implied? Saruman was a scientist and a natural orator, he didn't put any of his essence in his soldiers like Morgoth. He might have fed their rage with magic and clever rhetoric but nothing beyond that.

>>85247561
they gave 20% of accorns to Treebeard

>>85247306
That's pretty much been a staple in all Wizard stories.

Wizards tend to have a lot of enemies, and a lot of people just tend to hate wizards and magic in general.(in fantasy stories)

Best to keep ones wizardry power level hidden.

>>85246332
IIRC in the book Saruman does cook an ent to a crisp with his staff, and unleashes some kind of subterannean device that spews out liquid fire. Though that only served to piss the rest of the ents off, and he was almost caught by another ent before making it to Orthanc.

>>85245609
>Gandalf could've defeated all Orcs by himself, but he didn't wanted to!
>Saruman could've soloed Rohan, Gondor and Ents, but he decided to create Uruks for fun and spent his mana :(
>Tom Bombadil is the most powerfull being alive, but he doesn't give a fuck
>Eagles can eat Nazgul's alive, but they are proud beings that don't meddle with human bussines
maaaan, Tolkien was full of shit

>>85247936
Tolkien knew how to create an engaging world with characters and forces in it that weren't entirely bent to the will of the single story he wanted to tell.

>>85246533
this was before he said the line and also no real ents but trees.

>>85247936
>Gandalf could've defeated all Orcs by himself, but he didn't wanted to!
Nowhere is this implied.
>Saruman could've soloed Rohan, Gondor and Ents, but he decided to create Uruks for fun and spent his mana :(
This is a perfectly acceptable explanation.
Again, never once implied.
>Eagles can eat Nazgul's alive, but they are proud beings that don't meddle with human bussines
It's simpler then that, the eagles simply don't care. Gwaihir only helps as a favor to Gandalf for saving his ass a long time ago. Gwaihir is also an Eagle king, Gandalf can't just tell him to do shit.

>>85248130
>Again, never once implied

>>Tom Bombadil is the most powerfull being alive, but he doesn't give a fuck

>>85248147
Wasn't Tomb Bombadil extremely powerful but he couldn't leave his place?

>>85248130
>eagle king
how come I can't take titles like these seriously? Same thing with Treebeard. Tolkien sucked at giving titles to characters. they all sound so adorable when they are supposed to be majestic and ancient.

>>85245609
>Saruman would be completely weakened by spending all his magic on raising Uruk armies
That is literally not even implied ever in the movies.

>>85248147
>>85248192

Why didn't Frodo just ride the ents to Mordor?

>>85247825
Saruman uses his magic to create Uruks and actively control them you dingus. It's stated multiple times in the film.

>>85248192
Tom can do whatever he wants. His only upper limit is what he imposes on himself.

>>85248434
his magic semen you mean, he personally fucked Orcs to create Uruks, read the books dummy

>>85248227
Eagle King isn't a name, it's just that he's literally king of the eagles. His name is Gwaihir.

>>85248542
like a gipsy king, right?

>>85247271
His army wasn't there. Saruman would have been fine if he wasn't attacking Rohan at the same time.

>>85248571
No. The gypsies recognise no monarch.

>>85245540
and that's why GOT and LOTR are successful.

>>85248487

Uruks were created by Sauron in the books

Why were there no black trees?

>>85248763
Exactly. Uruks were always around.

>>85248434
It never shows him using ANY magic. He just wanders down into his mud-hole and these swole hybrid mud-babies start popping outta the walls.

>>85248434
The first uruks appeared out of Mordor in attacks on Gondor in T.A. 2475

you stupid fucking idiot.

>>85243947
Shitpost, but it is meant poetically. This was to be their last major undertaking as a race.
>>85244014
Ent casualties are depicted accurately in the films: Beechbone received serious burns and no one else had much more than a broken limb.
>>85244069
>melodramatic
Verbose. They are very clearly immune to drama; Treebeard needed to be among certain tree remains to be enraged enough to attack Isengard.
>>85245382
Very correct. They hadn't fought since the end of the Second Age.
>>85245609
Nah. He would have easily chanted down most of them, but Treebeard would have then likely revealed some deep magic innate to the timeless things of Middle Earth. Saruman is very explicitly portrayed to be deep in the "magics" of speech and craft, choosing to max charisma rather than wisdom, so to speak.

Acorns for acreage in barter form is likely the only economics that enter into their lives.

In the book it is mentioned that just one ent died, burnt by some contraption, which Merry and Pippin described just served to piss off the ents even further, as in "We thought they were mad before but then holy shit!"

>>85249073
>gets btfo
>has no comeback

>>85249030
Orcs under the resurgence of Sauron at the time of the Last Alliance were so ubiquitous as to inspire equity with the Turks in the Balkans during the 17th century. Fangorn was much bigger then, and large armies would get too near and learn lessons. This is all taken from just a few sentences in the Unfinished tales and the Silmarillion

>>85243947

The people we think of today as "Africans" are in fact all Bantu, who were originally confined to a small part of West Africa but expanded over millenia to the whole continent via genocide of native peoples, such as the Khoisan, whose extermination in South Africa continues to this day.

>>85249670

Are the Khoi-San civilized and pacific though? All the photos I've seen of them they look barely human, I guess that can be easily explained if they're not very abundant anymore.

Are the Bantoids who genocided them in their migrations? I have no idea what pictures you're talking about, my point is that "black Africans" have been exterminating distinct peoples for thousands of years, but act innocent and cry foul when Europeans show up and they're the ones being subjugated.

saruman was a paper tiger like Iraq

when the US and British tanks made their little blitzkreig through the iraqi desert in 1991 they expected to face a soviet-tier force and possiblely suffer very heavy casualities(like entire battalions destroyed heavy)

but when the actual advance happened the US 1st Cav Division destroyed 396 Iraqi tanks with only 4 tanks lost themselves

It's natural to feel left out when you're a minority.
For example, I think incels and "real nerds" are misrepresented in the media, and screech every time I see an autistic savant on tv, or a "lonely" chad/girl, or an autistic historical figure like Newton represented as Chad. That doesn't mean I want a dozen token robots in every show it's just a natural reaction.

He was some sort of treasure hunter. Alot of his magic was used in creating / finding magic items. Another good portion of his magic was used in mind controlling like half of middle earth.

Read up on tank warfare. Yes, being out-gunned and out-armoured in armoured warfare is a BIG damn problem. This is why WW2 had such a crazy arms race between axis and allies with both sides constantly rolling out new tanks and guns throughout the war. If you can't penetrate the other guy's front armor, you're gonna have a bad time.

they were modern-ish T-55s and T-62s. not a complete match for an Abrams or Challenger but not helpless in the right hands especially given their numerical advantage in some battles like 73 Easting(which ended in a 160 to 0 US victory)

>or were they just horribly trained and organised

>>85251168
It's not even really the issue. Older tanks are certainly (mechanically) capable of achieving kills. It's really the nature of doing it in an open landscape, against countries with modern scouting and intel. The tank ambush tactics of yesteryear don't work so good when your enemy has IR, drones, satellite, etc

training, training, training

that is why Iraq can lose M1A1s to ISIS and why Israel defeated T-62s with a tank designed in 1945(the Centurian)

the same is true in the air. in 1982 the Argentinians only made one attempt to rest control of the air from the Royal Navy and that ended with a Mirage III getting ignominiously shot down by a Sea Harrier despite the Mirage being a better aircraft with better missiles that should have shot down the harrier without contest

>>85249304
how the fuck did he live 77 more years post-TBotFA?

>>85251471

I was expecting some more stuff along the lines of LOTR 1 intro, where Sauron swings his mace around like the final boss of middle earth.

He basically had no screentime until that deleted scene where he talks to Gandald and then dies to the woman.

>>85252013

Dwarves live for literally hundreds of years on Tolkien's stories, humans did too at first, Aragorn is 87 at the time of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but his people had vanished, he was basically the last of the Numenorian.

Other folk like regular humans and hobbits had normal lifespans.

>>85252055
You realise he's still the Witch King before he wears the helmet, right? He's in all the movies, he's just visually the same as the other wraiths until RotK. He's the one who stabs Frodo on Weathertop, for example.

>>85252130

Right, so I rewatched that scene and the wraiths all get scared away. Was he simply not of a high enough level of power during earlier stages of the story, seeing how his power grew with Sauron's?
Because for someone considered to be unkillable he seemed to have little influence, hence the shitpost.

I just thought someone like a witch king would cause devastation before his death.

>>85251883
this reminds me of something I've always wondered. As you said, the mirage is much better on paper than the harrier. In that case, why did bongs even risk their harriers like that? From their perspective wouldn't it have been like condemning those pilots to death?. Sending them against proper fighters like that.

>>85252452
He was all hype. Lied to Sauron on his cv

>>85243947
He wasn't saying they would all die. Just that this was the last time they would march to battle.

>>85252535

exactly. what a swindler

>>85252452
The wraiths lose power the further they are from Sauron. All the way on the other side of the continent, fighting the rightful king of Gondor, and already having dealt the ringbearer a rightfully fatal wound, they retreat.
So yeah, pretty much - his power level was still too low at that point.

>>85252472
>why did bongs even risk their harriers like that? From their perspective wouldn't it have been like condemning those pilots to death?. Sending them against proper fighters like that.


risking a few Sea Harriers is better than leaving an entire carrier group undefended plus they spent the whole war defending the taskforce and all the fighting was from argentine aircraft "coming to them" so to speak

they could have been shot down if they got in a full scale carrier vs. carrier action with the ARA 25 De Mayo but british nuclear submarines sank the Belgrano and scared the entire Argentine Navy back into port before that could happen

>>85253124
We fucked 'em so hard that we can't go there on holiday anymore or we get shanked.

>>85245609
The wizards arrived in Middle Earth cucked out of their native Maiar powers from the get-go you fucking retard nigger. Their bodies were actual physical bodies they were "trapped" in. They had no ability to shapeshift and do whatever vaugery power magic you're refering to.

Even Sauron in his hayday had no real feats other than singing and shapeshifting. And he got pwned by things much physically weaker than ents. Fuck, even at the height of his power, wielding the ring, he got smoked by a couple of kings.
