    I realized that the Warden wasn't a ferocious and feared beast... but a pure, kind, caring, and gentle creature. I was shocked as well since the iron golem was not the only protector of the villagers. That song that helped calm the warden down was so emotional. This was an amazing video!

    Fun fact: If I counted correctly, the Warden punches Orange King 10 times. A Warden deals at the very minimum 8 hearts with their attacks. This means that the Orange King has, at the VERY LEAST, 80 hearts. And if we're going with the highest possible, that is 225 hearts.

    Fun detail I noticed about when learning about how noteblocks work in Minecraft: The flute sound is produced by placing a noteblock on top of clay or a honeycomb block. So it actually makes perfect sense why SC would be able to make a flute out of a candle with it being crafted from honeycomb.
    So the flute scene, in that way, is definitely consistent with actual Minecraft mechanics lol

      In a video named something like 'Season 3 In REAL time', on Alan Becker's channel, when the warden episode arrived, there is an extra scene where TSC first sees the Warden and goes from the cave, to a *lava parkour area* (which he crossed twice, once to get to the city and get the items and 2nd to run away from the city direction), and THEN to the city.
      This was most likely added so Alan could more align the stories together with King getting jumped by TSC and the Warden when he woke up (And for everyone else's story to line up with it aswell)

    - Animates fights and how SC swung around The Warden's body in the fight
    - Shows not tells (highlights were the notes that literally painted a picture for what's happening)
    - Has a good emphasis on relationships and doesn't just resort to always fighting
    - Creating solutions to problems that seem nearly impossible
    - Still has time to add comedy to it

In ancient myth from real life golems we’re actually depicted be hulking monsters with a gaping hole as a face before in later art they were shown to have more human faces. Since the ancient cities are ancient it wouldn’t be out there for the warden to just be an older corrupted golem model.

    I honestly enjoy the idea that the warden was designed as an ancient protector of a lost civilization, as it never made sense to me that the warden itself came from an alternate dimension. I personally believe the skulk was the only invasive species and the warden was infested during the invasive attack. The idea that the warden would be insanely powerful would make sense in this regard, as their existance served to protect their creators, and if there were truly more beings from this other dimension, why was the warden the only seemingly larger entity to cross through? It just doesnt make sense when you stop to think about it. The skulk had to have been the only invasive species, and must work as a hivemind in that regard.

    Let me tell you a story.
    About a protector. A guardian.
    You see, there were once, long ago, underground cities made for mining. Villages that flourished from the material they collected.
    In order to protect the villagers and their work, a golem was made. The villagers adored its creation. Never forgetting any of the work done by their golem. It helped in numerous ways aside from being a protecter.
    It could not see, but it could hear. The laughter of children playing, the hustle and bustle of the village and the numerous conversations of villagers that it passed. The golem eventually was named by the village. They called it the 'Warden'.
    Unfortunately the village began dying. A growth began overtaking the area and eventually villagers either died or left to find sanctuary. Nothing was left but an empty place, the growth, and the warden.
    It could not hear the presence of the villagers no longer. No one was there. Silence began enveloping the atmosphere of the village. The warden began questioning itself. Wondering where the villagers disappeared to. Millennia passed and the warden grew hateful. The growth began growing on the warden and eventually the warden and the growth created a symbiotic relationship now giving the warden purpose to protect once again.
    Many adventurers have tried to search for the warden. None have come back to tell the tale. Except one.
    A bard. Legends have told that this bard carried a flute. And no weapon to defend himself. He claimed he could find the warden and come back to tell the tale. The bard, dressed in what seemed to be tattered and ancient clothing and began to set off for the search of the mighty warden.
    Months passed. With no sign from the bard. Until a strange melody from what sounded to be a flute was heard. The bard had returned. Many were surprised. And wondered what happened. Others did not believe he even went to the underground village.
    And so he began his story.
    It was a long journey in his search for the warden. Though after months of searching he finally arrived at the underground city. He began walking forward looking for clues of the location of the warden.
    But it had already found him. The bard began running away, with the warden closely in pursuit. The bard ran into a dead end and was now trapped between a wall and the warden slowly walking towards him.
    In his last moment he pulled out his flute and played a melody his grandfather used to play before he was killed he closed his eyes preparing for the strike the warden would give him. But nothing. The warden, still as a rock, began remembering the village and people it once protected, the same melody played throughout the markets and land it once traversed was now being played to the warden after many millennia passed. It fell still, paralysed from its nostalgia and missed the villagers so. It could not attack anymore. Whoever played that melody was not an enemy. But a friend. The warden turned around and walked away. Knowing that the melody it heard was not of its friends it once knew. It knew they were gone. But for the one time it could be reminded of its glorious past. The warden decided to spare the bard and leave as a thanks for a memory it had lost long ago.
    After that the bard left. Nothing proved the story to be true. Eventually villagers forgot about it and the bard left continuing its journey around the world. Some say the bard went back to the warden, others say the warden escaped in search for that melody.
    All i know is that the warden is real and if you ever encounter it. The one thing that could keep you alive is a melody from its past.
    This is not canon and completely fan made
    I liked the approach this video gave of the warden and thought id just start typing and eventually ended up with all this.

    The backstory makes me feel something for this creature, it's represented as an unhinged monster with no remorse, so seeing a friendlier side to it makes it feel more like a misunderstood creature.
    However, it stopping dead in it's tracks from a set of notes seems confusing at first but, keep in mind, the song likely made him remember that it wasn't given life to take other lives away.
    It's body is almost identical to the Iron Golem expect some of proportions are larger. Let's take a second to wonder why it's called a "Warden"
    It's definitely protecting something that YOU (The Player) walk into on your own. Maybe it's protecting a place it used to call home, Maybe it's not protecting anything and because it's blind it can't tell what is a monster and what isn't, MAYBE it's protecting YOU from the Shulk?
    Any of those could be possible but it being a former Golem is more likely

      I agree, but at the same time Mojang never reveals any lore or anything and it's thanks to that that we get people like MatPat which I think is really cool. It really just ties together the facts that Minecraft is all about creativity and you can make it your own. Sure, there is clearly some lore going on, but you can ignore it if you want to and make it your own which I think makes Minecraft really unique. Like Dream SMP for example wouldn't be nearly as good if they had to work with a pre-made storyline. But yes, I do really like this backstory.

      I would name the disk ''EN.''
      Hear me out:
      Because we already have disc named ''Ward'' in the game, it would be more then appropriate to have a disc named ''En'' as well. When played together in two separate juke boxes, it would merge the songs and play ''WardEn.''

    Can we appreciate the fact that the Warden was made compassionate, instead of hostile, and yet he fights like a feral animal; but with WAY more precision than a thing that size should have.

      fighting like that has its uses
      Since the enemy doesn't know if you had education in fighting or not, your attacks can be extremely unpredictable and can absolutely destroy you if you aren't careful
