He is Tolkien himself. Goldenberry his wife. The Hobbits his children who he gives some aid and guidance for their lives. This is why I think that Tom Bombadil should not be met in new stories. He should be wandering somewhere, only remembered by those who encountered him. Fictional and otherwise.

@Flynn01979 10 дней назад

The most logical identity of Tom Bombadil at least in my opinion is he is the avatar Ilúvatar. Even if the books never said Ilúvatar took on a physical form. I think Tom is Ilúvatar way of influencing the world in a low level way. Without being really heavy handed about it. He is the oldest being on Middle Earth, the ring has no power over him, and he seems to be more powerful than Sauron. But, has never once interfered directly in the events of Middle Earth. Sounds a lot like a capital "G" God to me. To quote Futurama. "When you do things right. People won't be sure you've done anything at all."

@gibranlewis7300 10 дней назад

TOm definitely isn't Eru/Illuvatar, who is Tolkien's representation of God in the legendarium. Eru would have been able to shatter the Ring itself with a single statement. Tom could not do so. That was beyond his power, just as influencing Tom was beyond the Ring's power. Tom Bombadil is necessarily one of the Ainur of the Maiar class. Were he a Valar, his realm would not have diminished as Sauron's influence grew. As Gandalf says of Tom "and now, he has withdrawn into a little land, within boundaries that he himself has set, and he will not step beyond them, waiting perhaps for a change of days." Tom was not omnipotent by any means. As Gandalf also says to one of the Elves who suggested that Tom had power over the one Ring: "Say rather that the ring has no power over him. He is his own master. But he cannot alter the ring itself, nor effect its power over others." Tom was less in power and magnitude than the Valar, HOWEVER, he entered the world before they did ( he didn't exist before they did, but he came to Arda/earth first ). Because he was a being of the same order as Sauron who, UNLIKE the Istari/Wizards was not temporarily confined to a limited form that limited his power, and whose very nature was antithetical to the type of domination of others that the Ring was made to play to.

My favorite theory of Tom is that he is Nature in flesh form, in the canon it is said he was their at the start of everything, he saw the song. Hence also why he is married to the river's daughter, and in turn it also explains why the rings has no influence on him. Nature does not care for the power man craves, and why Tom would just lose interest in the ring if you gave it to him. I see him kind of like Ungoliant, a force Morgoth found that scared him.

@FragLord 6 дней назад

It's the lesser of two evils. If they are the blue wizards, well then it's super lame. Since then they would've given us Gandalf and Saruman in a blue suite... Also the blue wizards were sent together. They arrived by boat... So then they gave us 2 seasons of "subverting expectations" and all we got is a light copy of Gandalf and Saruman with a cop out at the end... Why?! Why did they have to do this? The wizards and the entire hobbit plotlines is nothing but lame member berries. If they are the blue wizards and the reveal is at the end of season 2. Then that are 2 seasons of actual content we didn't get about the blue wizards... If it's not the blue wizards. It has to be Radagast, Gandalf or Saruman. Which would be very very lorebreaking. If it's not any of them, it would be very very lore breaking. Now one has fallen from the sky like a meteor and I guess his counterpart is evil now? So much potential, so much wasted.

@GalacticLibertyGuardian 6 дней назад

@@FragLord All the movies and all film adaptions of the Tolkien universe is "lore breaking." If you dont want lore breaking, stick to the books and dont watch anything on film. No Tolkien content on film is even meant to be faithful to the lore exactly so. It is meant for the context to be enjoyed by many, not just the fans. If there were films that were perfectly fitted to the books, you would have a 3 hour movie for a single side quest, as Tolkien was known to ramble and insert many side quests, and explain journeys outside of chronological order. So I would realize that before starting to criticize anything in the show. If it even influences any to read the books, then its a job well done!

@FragLord 6 дней назад

@@GalacticLibertyGuardian There is a difference between adapting an existing story and inventing side stories around an existing red line. Lore breaking, like crime, comes in degrees. Applying your logic to crime there is no difference between unintentional manslaughter and wholescale genocide. The world isn't binary, maybe you are. But that's not how it's work buddy... There is a clear difference and therefore we give a clear and different ruling on the subject matter... Is the Peter Jackson trilogy lore breaking, yes. Alot, no. Was it good, yes. The PJ trilogy is 90% and more faithful to a source material of 3 volumes. Is rings of power lore breaking. Yes. Alot, yes. Is it good, no... Rings of power is 10% faitful to a source material of an appendix... Spot the difference. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. This series is exactly the 3 hours of boring rambling we don't need... I'll prefer to listen to Tolkien talk for 3 hours over this utter member berry sprinkled drivle

For book readers (like me) not hate, just disappointment with a total disregard for Tolkien's well established lore. Galadrial devoid of grace and wisdom, Celeborn nowhere to be seen, Sauron campaigning for Orc support, Elven rings made before those of Dwarves and men, unrecognizable Númenórë story line, Barrow Wights existing in the second age when it was clear that they were created by the Witch King of Angmar (which didn't exist until the third age) . Elrond somehow knowing how to defeat Barrow Wights when the lore that would tell him how did not yet exist, Stoors living in the desert when JRRT alwasy ever described them as river people and fishermen, Harfoots crying because they had no home when there entire culture was based upon wandering, Tom Bombadil depicted as a character who somehow now concerned himself with the survival of all middle earth and specifically to train wizards in magic, on and on and on. No hate, just a realization that the writers and show runners did not even make a half-hearted attempt to follow Tolkien's legandarium. At best it is fan fiction that uses names from Tolkien's works. If that makes you happy then that is great. For me, I am not giving it another viewing minute.

I did a little happy cheer when Tom appeared as I do feel it is a hat tip to all of those (like me) who would've loved to have seen him in the movies. At the same time, I totally agree with Peter Jackson in not having his story line and the adjustments he made because he did need to make a movie and the books... I remember how Tolkien spent THREE PAGES describing those stairs that Frodo and Sam climb hahaha ... there were definatly aspects that didn't need to be included.

@seasidescott 9 дней назад

Tom Bombadil is like "Nature" (or earth if we want the relationship with Goldberry as water), a largely neutral force but most powerful. His opposition to Morgoth and Sauron would be in their need for dominion and absolute order, whereas nature is a mix of order and chaos. Also he is immune to magic which is something like a stand-in for technology to Tolkien. Gandalf does say that if Sauron went unopposed eventually even Bombadil would fall or have nothing left in the world for him, like utter pollution and nuclear contamination rendering a dead planet. And that's where _Rings of Power_ is different from LOTR: there is too much magic in ROP, which Tolkien wasn't a fan of. This whole battle for Middle Earth is a tech war between Sauron and and the pro-Free People Maia forces. The magic=technology factor is very clear; a little of it is very helpful and even necessary but reliance on it is perilous.

Because he was a being of the same order as Sauron who, UNLIKE the Istari/Wizards was not temporarily confined to a limited form that limited his power, and whose very nature was antithetical to the type of domination of others that the Ring was made to play to.

Interesting. But if he were a Maia, he would still be susceptible to Sauron and Melkor's corruption, as Curumo and possibly Pallando were.

@gibranlewis7300 9 дней назад

@@JayGriffinblaze ugh, device glitched and ate my answer. TO your point, not necessarily. Remember, Curumo and Pallando ( even if Pallando was corrupted ) were both essentially trapped in limited incarnations, however temporary. While in their Istari forms, they were subject to most of the same temptations ad vulnerabilities as were the Elves, though they had greater powers. Another Ainu of Maiar class who was NOT bound by any of the restrictions and limitations of the Istari, akin to Sauron in powers but not greater than Sauron, would have been a different equation. Tom was also essentially differnt from Sauron. Saruman was very much like Sauron and Sauron understood him very well. Sauron understood Gadalf less, and had FAR less understanding of Radagast. Radagast, who mostly wandered from his mission, though not completely, was more like Tom than any of the other Istari, but even Radagast came with mission, and a will to direct and guide others, and, again, Radagast had taken on the limitations of incarnation in a form that hampered his innate powers and wisdom. Tom had no such limitations, and had no interest in the things the Ring was designed to do and to enhance. Shelob was less than any full on, undiminished, unbound Ainu, but she had no interst in Sauron's Ring because she had no interst in domination or conquest. Eru would have been able to destroy the Ring infinitely more quickly than Orodruin could. The Valar could have beaten Sauron's Ring into a coin. Tom could not harm the Ring, he could not remove it's influence from others, but he also could not be mastered by it. He was it's equal, as one would expect of a fellow Ainu of Maiar class who was not bound by outstanding limitaitions, and who was diametrically opposite to Sauron in his interests and way of thinking.

@SlothLoveChunk14 4 дня назад

I think tom is nature personified. He exists, thrives, and things grow all around him amidst the ever changing landscape. He just goes about his life and focuses on growing things, caring for things, existing. Same as all living things, they exist regardless of the whims and destruction of man and the effects they have on the ever changing environment, they don’t interfere. They just live amongst the changes, amid the wars etc., just like Tom. Before any living thing can emerge, the environment has to be suitable for it to survive and thrive and grow. So before any thing could be on earth, nature would have to have been there first. I think that is why Tom is the oldEST living being, why he would be older than the maier.

Thanks for this vid Charlie!👍 I am really enjoying this season. I feel so lucky we get more and more info for the LOTR. As for Tom Bombadil, I think he is their version of "Father Time". When the world was created he was. To put it simply he is the same age as the planet because it began and so did he. Goldeberry is therefore Mother Earth. Paired with Tom since her creation. They are as inseparable because they began together. But, Goldberry is probably in the one spot we see in the original books in the Second Age. Tom probably decided to wander a bit and then return. Since Tom can basically control anything of the planet if he wants, he knows that he isn't meant to interfere but to simple be. Tom is impossible to oppose but always with us and part of our choices, as is the way of time.

@cineatico3345 8 дней назад

The Dwarves, who received seven rings from Sauron, were not turned into wraiths like the Men who became the Nazgûl. Instead, the rings amplified their natural lust for riches and treasures. This led to greater wealth and prosperity for some Dwarven kingdoms, but it also brought about internal strife and conflict, as well as making them more susceptible to Sauron’s influence and manipulation. Unlike Men, whose rings granted them unnaturally long life and eventually bound them to Sauron’s will as the Ringwraiths, the Dwarves’ inherent resilience and stubbornness prevented them from being fully dominated. In Tolkien’s world the same source of power can have vastly different impacts depending on the character and nature of those who wield it.

Tom Bombadil is a free radical. An unintended consequence of the creation of Arda. That is why he is older than the Valar and Maiar who entered Arda. It also explains why Treebeard is the oldest living creature, while Bombadil is eldest. He is not a living creature, but an emanation of Arda. Which is also why, though he can’t intervene with Sauron, he can’t be controlled by him either

Damn, this episode might be my favorite episode yet of season 2!! I enjoyed this one a lot! I have a cool idea/ theory about Tom Bombadil. From some of the marvel movies and other things I came across over the years, it’s been said the the Infinity Stones are remnants/ pieces of a past universe that existed prior to the MCU that we know. What if a past/ different universe existed before Middle Earth and Tom Bombadil came from that one? I think that’s a cool idea! I also had NO idea how powerful he is!! He really sounds like a omnipotent being. From other movies and Tv shows I’ve seen, there definitely are beings like that. If I remember correctly of what I’ve heard about the marvel comics, Galactus existed in a different form in a previous universe before he became the Galactus we know. I also had no idea Tom Bombadil was going to be in this episode!! When I sat down on Thursday night and started this episode, I talked with a friend of mine for a few minutes. I told him about how I’ve been a big fan of the Lord of the rings movies and hobbit movies. I even told him about my experience reading the books and mentioned Tom Bombadil! Was quiet a surprise and treat for me!! Even though I really liked the whole episode, seeing some Ents in the episode was a huge highlight for me!! I absolutely LOVED the Ents having a part/ role in the two towers!! From the first time I watched the Two Towers, I immediately became fascinated with the Ents!! They’re definitely my favourite parts from the Two Towers!! It was definitely very exciting and cool to see the Ent Wives for the first time! I also loved the teases and foreshadowing of the Hobbits and the Shire! I hope the episodes get even better from here! I’m really looking forward to the rest of season 2!! Another fantastic breakdown Charlie!

My understanding of the elvish rings of power was that once the one ring was crafted the elves knew what he had planned because as soon as he wore it upon his finger, the Elves became aware of him. So Only after Sauron's defeat, when the One Ring was cut from his finger at the end of the Second Age, did the Elves begin to actively use the Three to ward off the decay brought by time. Even then, the Rings could be worn without being seen. After the One Ring, they are the most powerful of the twenty Rings of Power.
