tom bombadil

This is just a very general thread of why you wanted TB, how you think he would be done, what they couldve done to fit him in, how stupid they are for leaving him out.... First of all... I'd like to say the following: The following threads are unnecisary (sp) and if taken out, TB could...

Tom Bombadil is no doubt on of the more quirky additions to LOTR. I personally believe that Tom represents a character not easily identifiable with modern day readers. Tom was more a product of the Wizard of Oz generation...cute, fantastical, and quirky. Everytime I read the book I find this...

Well, I know this has been discussed before but I'm pretty sure no-one has mentioned this idea before: Could Tom Bombadil perhaps possibly be ... none other than... the one and only... RADAGAST THE BROWN??? Think about it. Radagast was fond of nature and trees and was said to, by the time...

I ask this only because of all the complaints that I hear about the movie this one is the most common, at least from people who have read the books. And I decided to ask who actually though Tom would make the final cut. Seeing how his part of the story doesn't further the plot, I can...

Stop me if you think you've heard this one before. Having read TLOTR about 20 years ago I'm back again (PJ movies inspired) and setting off again. What strikes me now is how incredibly visual and absorbing it really is. I know Middle Earth is real. So as Questions occur I wouldn't mind sticking...

Has Bombadil met Aragorn before? Is that what is being implied here? Are they friends? Bombadil does not seem like one to go wandering, so Aragorn must have stumbled across him some how. And did Bombadil "send"(for lack of a better word) that vision to the Hobbits? Does he have the power to do...

I was wondering after the LotR what happens to Tom Bombadil I might have missed it in the book. Thanks

This was taken from Tolkien Sarcasm Page. Enjoy Now thats comedy! RD

I know that this is really far-fetched but do you think maybe its possible that Bombadil is actually one of the Ithryn Luin, after all we don't know what ever happened to them, and Gandalf goes to speak with Bombadil at the end of LOTR, and I know that Bombadil is this guy thats seen like...

So....is Bombadil older than the elves, that quote makes it seem like maybe he was put there in the beginning before even the firstborn awoke to watch over at least some of the lands of Middle-Earth, even though he doesn't seem to care about anything.

Do you remember Tinfang Warble? From The Book of Lost Tales 1: The Chaining of Melko From LOTR: In the House of Tom Bombadil In the Appendix of Bolt 1: it is said that Tinfang was the son of "Elwë and Melian", brother of Lúthien. In a way Tinfang seems to me as an "enigmatic" figure who...

What is Gandalf going to talk to ]Bombadil about? And has he ever met Bombadil before, its not mentioned anywhere. And Bombadil does not care at all about what has happened in the world or on there adventures, so what is Gandalf going to tell him for? The only thing Bombadil cares about is...

I know this has appeared long ago in this forum, but to sum it all up, what did everyone decide on. Who the heck is he?

when i was just wandering i found a rather strange piece, i hope that the quistion isn't on the next 5 pages, in that case, i'm sorry, just post the page with the answer, it has been a year since i read it. the question: in fotr page 125 frodo merry and pippin wake up in tom bombadils...

Who Are These People? first off who the hell is tom bombadill. Who's goldberry? Who are the barrow wights? Who is elbereth and gilthoniel? who are they?

I love Tom Bombadil in the book. I am dissapointed not to see him in the movie. I know he is not necessary to the story, but he is a welcome sidetrack to me. Opinions?

I was reading Tar-Palantir's thread about Tom Bombadil and suddenly a question came to me: "Who gave Tom his name? Why Tom? Why Bombadil?" I know about Tom Bombadil being J.R.R's son's childhood-doll, but I refer in my question to the Tom Bombadil of Middle-Earth. Tom is an English name, a...

I am sorry if I sound ignorant, but what ever happened to T.B.?(and Goldberry!;) )Please enlighten me.:confused:

POLL: Is Tom Bombadill someone who'd get anoying? A friend of mine says Bombadill could get anoying. I'm sorry I... I just don't see it!

Who is the oldest? There is a contradiction as to who is the oldest creature on ME is. Here are a couple of quotes from 'The Lord of the Rings': On the next page it says: These are the words of Elrond and Glorfindel. Later in the novel(s) Gandalf the White after being found for the...
