Finally, here is episode 2 of Shannara Explained: History, Conclusion. I apologize for the delay, but as you will see in the video I chose the hardest way possible to make this video. I won't be doing that again.
In this video we are going to cover the first book in the series, the Sword of Shannara, which leads into the book the series is based on.
We follow Allanon, the brothers Shea & Flick as well as a host of supporting characters as they fight to defeat the Warlock Lord once and for all and save the Four Lands.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Thank you for making this video. It looks like you put a lot of work into it. I first read these books, starting in 1988. I read them a few times, but it has been a long while. Would I be disappointed with the series do you think? As in how faithful to the books is it? Thanks again.
Tim Williams first off, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I vividly remember finding Sword of Shannara in my elementary school library and reading it in like 5 hours. It quite literally changed my life.
As for the series, it depends. I watched an interview with Terry Brooks where he talked about the differences between telling a story in novel form, and telling one in film form.
He views them as two different expressions of his story, which I think was a smart way to look at it. There are moments that are fantastic, and some of the actors really embodied the characters for me in a great way.
If you can view them as two different things, I think you’ll enjoy it. If you will have trouble with pretty large changes to he characters and narrative, I would steer clear.
Just gotta say, I love to hear that Street Fighter 2010 music. Loved that game back in the day.
Nice job on this series, although I am more interested in the metanareatibe than a summary of the books
Hey, just found your channel. I fell in love with the Shannara tv show right away and have recently bought the first book so these videos are great as a bridge between the two considering the differences you've said about in the last video.
Thanks for the fantastic videos so far, can't wait for more :D
Avenger-and-proud thanks for watching and the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed the videos! I have a ton more planned.
My God this was so much work, that I will never, ever do again. At least to this level. I might do a bit of 8 bit animation stuff here and there though. Probably, maybe.
Still, this was very high quality and I appreciate that level of commitment towards Shannara. Makes me wonder how Shannara would've fared as an 8-bit game series back in the day
Patrick Burkholder I appreciate the kind words. Shannara has a special place in my heart. And as for the game angle, yeah totally. Of course pixel games are all the rage now, so maybe we’ll see a beautiful shannara game. Who knows.
Well done with the work! hopefully it was worth it for you of course but as for me, I thought it was work well spent. Great job on your part, can't wait for the next vid!
I appreciate that. I am working on a new video now.
I have been reading Shannara since 1991 when my flatmate lent me the first book. I have read all of them, including the Word and Void series. Some I have read multiple times. I especially enjoyed the one with the Fisher King's created daughter, Crys? something?, that went North. That was the first time I really got that this was a dystopian vision of our future.
I found the series by accident one rainy afternoon, a couple of months ago. I devoured it and was so pleased it was good. Looking forward to the second series and glad I have found your channel.
+Pink Hornet I have read many of the books multiple times as well, I find that with books like his you find something new each time.
Are you thinking of The King of the Silver River and his daughter Quickening? If so, right on. That was an amazing story. I think that series (the heritage series) is my favorite of his books.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the second series!
You have inspired me to read all the books now. Thank you
Wow, that is the greatest compliment you could have given me. Thanks! I know you’ll love them!
I really glad i found your channel because I just started watching shannara and was super confused and you explained it really well. Your videos are really good quality too, keep at it man!
+Patrick Dunstan thanks sir, I really appreciate the kind words and I’m glad you found the videos helpful! More to come!
So good....great stuff man.
I absolutely adore your Shannara videos, Chris! You make reading the series so exciting and relatable, and I was laughing so much at your jokes! Your videos are friendly and thrilling like we're all sitting around a campfire geeking out about Shannara! Thank you so much for making these videos. I can't wait to see more!
PadmeHum523 I really appreciate that! I’m excited for the next couple of videos, and getting into a rhythm with releases.
OMG I'm so excited for season 2!!!
John_7869 me too. It’s going to be an interesting ride!
Season 2 turned into a horror story. Season 2 is worst than last season of game of thrones
That was a really good video! Thankyou!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you'll come back for more.
Would you be able to make a video on the Shannara blood line and how they still have magic unlike other elves
+Sean Roberts that is a great idea. I’ll add it to the list. Thanks mate!
No thank you I started to get back into it after Wednesday
more please
+MrVlandus working on it. Next I’m doing a deep dive video about the elves, where they came from, etc. after that I’ll start in on the episodes of season 1 of the tv show.
Great job, would love more, I am a listener as in a Audio books, and I ran across Terry Brooks in a truck stop and I started with Armageddon's children and finished that series and watched the TV show then I got audible and I started in order with the sword of shannara and I am now currently on tanequil.
Nice! Welcome to the family. I'm working on a video about the Elves, since they are unique in the Shannara Universe, and then will be moving onto looking at each episode of season 1, and how they differ from the book. Thanks for stopping by, and subscribe if you haven't already, so you'll know when the next video is up!
Don't forget first king of shannara
Yep, that’s a great book. One of my favorites actually.
hey bro i really like the old school video game background
Hey thanks! I really lived doing the 8bit stuff. It’s just so much work that I am reserving it for these types of videos.
Did you do all this 8-bit art? It's amazing.
Alas no. I did a lot of it, mostly the characters. The backgrounds are from videos games from the 80s.
nice.
Maybe you could do a history serie for the book and one for the serie and maybe future spinoff series
mr. GastGar that might be interesting. Thanks for the idea!
CJD Explains no problem man
I just watched the last episode of S1 and I cried becouse of the ending when she died.
But does arietrea live
And I am dutch so I cant speak english
mr. GastGar one thing to know is that Amberle didn’t die. She lives on as the Ellcrys, and remembers her old life, etc. she has moved to a new plain of existence so to speak!
CJD Explains yeah butt stil it felt like she died for me .
I finished the sword of shannarah and is reading the elfstones 2019
Elfstones is the best if the first 3 novels. You’re in for a treat.
How do the race of elves even exist if this is a post-apocalyptic story of our real world?
Great question. I have a video on the history of the elves you can watch, but in a nutshell, they are all that remains from the age of fairy, which predated our civilization by many thousands of years.
The elves evolved away from being dependent on magic to exist, and hid themselves away in remote areas.
False allonon the druud is in another book. Totally false recreation. Why do Americans do this?
I don’t understand what you’re saying. Are you saying Allanon wasn’t in Sword of Shannara?
