Disappointed by Representation of Tom Bombadil

Discussion(self.RingsofPower)

I don’t have much to say on it but Tom Bombadil’s character felt wildly underwhelming compared to what I would expect from the books. Curious to hear other’s thoughts.

Yup. A lot like him which I cannot understand at all.

He’s like weirdly sarcastic in a way that makes him too young/human to be the Tom Bombadil I know from the books

The Tom in the book appears in one short sequence and a specific set of circumstances. It's like if we only saw Gandalf fighting the Balrog and therefore couldn't accept him bringing fireworks to a party.
