Why didn't Tom Bombadil just walk into Mount Doom and destroy the ring himself? He's immortal after all.
He didn't feel like it.Also, wasn't his power tied to the forest or something?
>>24754297You weren't meant to understand
>>24754297Ring would have subjected him before he even got half way through Mordor. Plus Sauron and his forces would still find away to surpress him and get the ring back before he finds the volcano.
Because then there wouldn't be a story to tell.
>>24754335But it clearly had no effect on him. He put it on when Frodo gave it to him and he didn't even become invisible.
He didn't understand the importance of the ring or care much about it. He probably would have put it down somewhere and forgotten about it.
>>24754297The better question is “why didn’t Eru make Isildur trip and fall into the lava like Gollum?”
>>24754382He wanted to watch a good movie.
>>24754382How did this play out off screen? Did the guy just watch him walk off with the ring while doing nothing?
>>24754382Eru wanted to reveal to the world the power of homosexual love through frodo and sam
>>24754297>>24754335Clearly didn't read the book
A gigantic, ripped redbeard fantasy Texan suddenly dashes out of the wood, loudly yelling "HEY DOL, MERRY DOL, RING A DONG DILLO!" What do you do?>[ ] Stand and watch in awe.>[ ] Run away screaming.>[ ] Genuflect.
Sauron is also immortal. Gandalf is also immortal. Every elf is immortal.
>>24754297>Why didn't Tom Bombadil just walk into Mount Doom and destroy the ring himselfImagine being canceled by ((hobbits)).((They)) only start doing things when the kickback scheme has already been masterminded and plausible deniability established.
>>24754382Wouldn't that have caused a war
>>24754529You're missing a ( in each of your uses, newfag.
>>24754297>be Tom Bombadil>live in the woods with a wife and a home without any government or taxes or jobs or anything and also be immortal>"Why don't you ruin your whole life and get a ring through the lines of a demonic army and throw it into a volcano which will probably kill you?"
That tom bombadil song got stuck in my head for like the next 100 pages after reading it
>>24754686Set to what melody?>>24754339Sanest and least autistic/lit/ poster.
>>24754416Isildur could have just put the ring on if anyone tried to stop him.
>>24754654>he doesn't know about Catholic brackets
>>24754297he works in mysterious ways
>>24755494Catholics have a diminished echo? reasonable.
>>24754297>Why didn't Tom Bombadil just walk into Mount Doom and destroy the ring himself? He's immortal after all.Insufficient lulz.
>>24754297He was pussy-whipped by Lady Goldberry.
>>24754342>But it clearly had no effect on him. Because he had no use for it. If Tom Bombadil *was* the sort of man to go on a perilous death-defying journey to deliver a ring to a volcano, that would be a different story.
>>24754297he wanted to stay home and fuck goldberry
“Not my problem”
>>24754297tie the ring to an arrow and have legolas shoot it into Mt. Doom. build a giant fuck off bow and arrow just for this task.no need to thank me.
hes got more important things to do
Earth-shaking sex with Goldberry
>>24754382would have skipped too many kino moments; same reason I let some party members die in ME2 even though its avoidable
BecauseTom Bombadilly gives zero zero fucks Tom Bombadilly likes to pet his ducks Hey ho dilly oh Tommy Boy is basedTommy Bommy Billio dont give no fucksMiddle earthlings are all söy boy beta cucks
>>24756733the books are simply too based to ever see a true adapation. no hollyjew director has the balls to waste the audiences time with an hour of tom bombadil silliness like tolkien did; seemingly our of sheer spite and a sadistic desire to make people read songs and poems
He represents the last ñine of traditional fairy tales before entering modern literature, he could do anything under his own logic but he can't be part of the new world of men and war.I know you're making a classic thread once again like an autistic child watching the same Pepa Pig episode for the 1000th time; but you're making a thread where you get filtered by an allegory for little children.
>>24754297sauron was his puppet.
>>24756728Which deaths of party members create kino moments in ME3? When I played the trilogy, Tali and Jack died and they were replaced by generic placeholders that didn’t really add anything interesting.
>>24754297He is beyond good and evil
>>24754297he would fucking diehe is not that powerfulpeople THINK he is some ultra invincible god but he is actually not
