Removing that PoS character from the movies was the single best thing Jackson did. Tom Bombadil is the fucking worst, I hate every single page that contains that obnoxious character.

He is representative of concepts that are very important to Tolkien's setting and themes, though. I think it is also intentional that he has an unlikeable tone or doesn't quite fit in, in a weird way. It adds to his mystique.

While I wouldn't use such harsh words, removing Tom Bombadil was the most obvious decision in any adaptation of anything ever.

Glamdring should have glowed white in the presence of orcs.

Annotating a horse cock with his name is an insult to horse cocks

Yeah, leaving him in would have had general audiences focused too much on why he didn't get involved.

Yeah! Don't want the plebs looking into the justifications for not eschewing the wizard drama for simply hanging out at the river with your hot AF, insatiable wife, ya know? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Eh it would have been great, but as Jackson said, it feels like a 2nd climax after the death of Sauron.

I think having the elves come to help men was the biggest disrespect to Tolkien.

Could have been an interesting way to do Amazon's series instead of just shitting over the silmarillion. Fill in the lives and occurences after lotr. Woul'dnt need Saruman or Wormtongue as the extended trilogy deals with them and they're not strictly needed for the scouring.
