yikes
Isn’t Withywindle written next to the river, though?
maybe Tom gives The Stranger his jacket, branding him as a blue wizard. which leaves him to get a new, brighter blue jacket!
Tom should be Jack Black
Tom is Jack Black 😊
Season one has already made me loose interest
This isn't going to be pretty. xD
The only actor that could do Tom Bombadil any justice is Jack Black, IMHO.
I'm predicting Tom Expositionorillo and the hobbit having Frodos dreams so "gandalf" is crowbarred in an actual purpose explanation
Nothing will entice me to watch this show. Its trash.
This is going to be a mess.
Tom Bombadil looking an awful lot like a Blue Wizard in one of those still shots…
Blue cloak
Pointy hat
Walking stick
Just saying I noticed an interesting connection is all, not implying anything 🤷
Does anyone know what is the background music? HELP
Why isn't he a non-binary black woman?
I'm excited about it. truly
RIP Tom Bombadil
Died August 29, 2024
"He was a merry fellow"
The fact that the actor doesn't/didn't know who he is playing is already a red flag tbh
Tom has always been given this “primordial” reputation because of his power but his attributes have always been akin to what you would expect a man to be like in the eyes of iluvitar in the books. Love for song and his wife. What I would like to see is some sort of deviation from concrete event based scenes in chronological order and bring in some dreamlike sequences that we see with Finrod, the reveal of halbrand as Sauron and any magic scene. An appeal to the power of lighting and memory perhaps as well as movements that completely distinguish him in these profound but subtle ways. It would be concerning to see him purely in a light that we see, say Elrond and Durin in this casual friendly setting. Every scene cannot be like this in my opinion because there has to be a reference frame of actual hero, the sense of some stability in at least two of their characters such as you see with Elrond and Galadriel. What breaks that expectation of roles is Galadriels resistance and Elronds challenges. In this way, we must see Tom bombadil in this perspective as an axiom in an ocean of newfound chaos in Sauron.
Bro pleeassseeeeeeeeeeeee why why why why why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy =[=[=[
To be honest, I think TB is such a constrasting character to the stories (and yet, so important in my opinion in the books from a reader's perspective), that I think adding him to a show is nothing but detrimental. If TB feels out of place, jovial, and tone deaf to the ongoing story, then they did the character well. If TB is too involved, concerned, and not singing all the time, they did the character wrong. I hope they found a third alternative for the show! But wow, that was a bold move by them.
Dude, yes! I cant wait. Tommy B in Rings of Power is gonna be sick. I hope hes brooding, influential, and has a crazy falling out with Gold Berry. Maybe because she wants him to be more than a singing, good natured fellow, and help fight Sauron with out heroes!
I'm sure they'll girl boss Tom and make it so his his wife is actually the all powerful being
Thanks for your well-balanced coverage and views! Grest bit of verse at the end.
This might be exciting if Peter Jackson was in charge but RoP and Amazon and their writers and actors are awful and I can't see any change with this cringeworthy series
Guyladrial will girl boss his mansplaining face
OMG. Bombadil looks like a young guy who decided to buy a wig/beard combo at the local Halloween store. He looks effing ridiculous!!
i think Jack Black is a good fit for playing Tom.
Do a video on goldberry please. How old is she etc.
Leave it to Amazon to make the Jolly fellow look and act serious…
Hope Tom admits in his own words to becoming a moss grower. Would be a perfect exit for the character as he returns to his home in the west. It'd be so easy for them to mess this up lmao
I was hoping that Galadriel would be recast after last season..
Jermaine Clement would make a perfect Tom
They can put Huren in there for all I care. I am not giving a dime to the rigs of power woke garbage
Oh good. Moving on.
I like it. And will watch to see what happens.
Guess Tom Bombadil will be a beardless non-binary.
I must admit, I found Tom well annoying in the books… this series might help me come to like the character lol
wHy sO sErIoUs, Tom?!
Why doesn't this Tom Bombadil look happy?
He's mysterious and I don't trust Amazon not to mess him up.
Tom Bombadil in Rhun on the second age it's perfectly fine, he is a wonderer.
Those images he looks like another wizard. I'm very disappointed in the clothes what was the costumer thinking
There's an unabridged audio book edition from the bbc that has tom bombadil.
I like your channel, it’s the most informative and translated. But Peter Jackson ruined anyone else trying to make movies about it because he did the best. Amazons is just Woke of the rings.
Prediction: I think they will make tom bombadil a blue wizard along with the stranger
I am ok with him… I always kind of bought into the theory that Bombadil was some sort of spirit of Arda, a sort of echo of the Green Man… a sort of universal being associated with life and rebirth. This makes sense in the overall Tolkien motif of praising a more bucolic, pre-tech lifestyle. So… perhaps just being in Rhun has washed out some of his color and jollity and is symbolizing the fading of life in the East? He "might" discover the loss of the Entwives? In any case, I hope we see a cameo in a later season where he is back in the Old Forest celebrating life, in full color, happy-happy-happy with Goldberry.
Even more lame than before
11:01/14:34 Tom is shown in live adaptation of Lord of the rings. It's old Soviet movie called Khraniteli (Russian: Хранители, lit. 'Guardians [of the Ring]'). It is a Soviet television play miniseries based on J. R. R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring. It was broadcast once in 1991 by Leningrad Television and then thought lost before being rediscovered in 2021. It is hard, but not impossible to find it on internet…
Thank you! I love his nuanced character, and there is quite a bit of nuance looking at the varied references and appearances in Tolkien literature.
I like Rory Kinnear as an actor, he's been great in a large number of roles over the years but it's going to be a tough ask to put the character of Tom Bombadil on screen and make it work well. Either it will be fantastic or it will be horrible, I very much hope it's the former but ROP got a couple of wrong calls in s1 and need to make amends – this could be an excellent call but I fear the worst.
