Ents aren't "trees come alive" any more than we're "monkeys who shaved". Ents are the guardians of the trees, and spirits of the woods, rather than being trees themselves. Which also means that there are plenty of trees which aren't Ents. Normally, you don't see them. They live quietly in deep forests, and only come out when the forest is threatened. Usually, this means that they're like Smokey the Bear, only not as polite, but in this case, Saruman was threatening the wood, so they came out. It was an unprecedented event.
Seriously? Read the books, and it makes a bit more sense. --Ben G wrote: > I don't know.....perhaps it has to do with the fact that I can't look out > the front window of my house and see hobbits, elves, etc.....but I can look > out and see plenty of trees....and they aint marchin ta war. > > It's probably not a good reason, but I just can't help but feeling cheated > somehow when the trees suddenly come alive and do battle.... > > >>I guess I'm just trying to figure out why you had a problem with Ents, >>but not hobbits, elves, Sauron, Gandalf, etc. >> >>Personally, I can no longer suspend disbelief whenever the characters in >>a musical break into song. :-) >> >>--Ben >> > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:163141 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
