Who or what the fuck is Tom Bombadil and why is he immune to the effects of the One Ring? Is he Eru?

He's Tom Bombadil.
dev's self-insert i thinkdon't remember him from the movies

>>735153259he's the proto-reddit quirk chungus
>>735153259Nah, Eru cares way more than Tommy. Tom's more like a primordial nature spirit from the dawn of time. Though he may be described as a god, small g.
>>735153259I miss when writers added some unexplained, mysterious elements to their story. Nobody knows who Tom is or why the ring does jackshit to him. The origins of the Nameless Things is unknown to Gandalf and nobody knows where the hell the Blue Wizards are.

Tom Bombadil is a character from one of Tolkien's previous poems.Whatever deep lore people dream up about him is totally false, he's a crossover character.
>>735153259looks like fucking robin williams in a hat
>>735153259Even Tolkien's biggest dicksuckers admit that Tom Bombadil was a bad idea.
>>735158086This. He's basically Arale from that Dragon Ball Super episode she was in.
>>735153403He was in the movie. He got a card in the trading card game like everyone else
>>735158171Can’t unsee it.
TOM BOMBADILL TOM BOMBADILLO
>>735158454Wait so was he gonna be in the movies at some point or did they put this photo together just for this card game?Any other cut characters in this?
>>735158748I think he was in an early draft of the movie script but got cut, but still had the props and costume so released him as part of the card game. They also cut some other elf I cant remember the name of right now.
>>735158748Prince Imrahil
>>735158748Alot of things got cut from the movies or even altered significantly. An obvious one is Helms Deep having elves but no Rangers of the North present in the battle of the Pelennor Fields. No Imrahil but we got a shitton of pointless Arwen scenes.
>>735158171This one looks like Count Dankula in a hat
>>735153259Tom Bombadil is a character tolkien made for his nephews or something and just added it into LOTR because the kids wanted to see him there. He's from a different story, that's why he's so wacky and "powerful"
>>735153403kek
>>735158454Is that Bob Hoskins aka Mario
>>735153259Why did Tolkien make his wife a loli though?
>>735153370Why didn't he just throw the ring into Mt. Doom?
>>735159415It's a bitchin' ring.
>>735159240>”Christopher my son this is all very important to the lore of my world.”
>>735159240He was 7 years older than his wife, who he first met when she was 19, and wished they had wed immediately rather than seven years after so that he would have had more time with his kids.The image of her from their first meeting was forever etched upon his soul.
>>735160018Whoops, got my dates crossed, she's three years older than him.Even so, the timeline stands, he wanted to be wed immediately.
Dude's immune to the One Ring because Goldberry has that dick on lockdown. Everybody in Middle Earth is miserable because they're not getting any action. Frodo should have taken Rosie Cotton on his adventure instead of Sam. He wouldn't have sailed off to the West as a miserable virgin.
>>735153259He's like Ungoliant, a higher spirit. of some kind. Some things just don't need to be explained.
>>735157926More than once in Arcanum, funnily enough.
>>735158278Tolkien dicksuckers LOVE Bombadil specifically because he wasn't in the movies and they like to rub it in the face of movieplebs like it's some major loss.Bombadil and his whole section was terrible, a giant callback to some poem nobody knew about that completely flies in the face of the stakes and world developed up to that point. It's completely different from what comes before and comes after, having some super duper special mythical magic man call the primary MacGuffin of the entire series a total joke within the first 150 pages of the first book (second including the Hobbit) is insane.
