This meme, but with the scouring of the shire
Eh it would have been great, but as Jackson said, it feels like a 2nd climax after the death of Sauron.
It could be another movie. Probably will be eventually.
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.
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.
While I wouldn’t use such harsh words, removing Tom Bombadil was the most obvious decision in any adaptation of anything ever.
Yeah, leaving him in would have had general audiences focused too much on why he didn’t get involved.
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.
I think half a horse cock deserves a nsfw tag.

Tom Bombadill was an insane add to the story.
“Yeah I thought it would be interesting to have a guy who could just end the story but he loves his girlfriend too much.”
I really think he just wrote himself into the story.
He did, sorta: Beren and Lúthien <3
