- The Rings Of Power has quite mercifully already scuttled any hopes that Amazon had at stealing the Lord of The Rings setting away from J.R.R Tolkien but that does not mean we can stop there! Scorched earth is the best and only solution here! So let's turn the definition of magic and whimsy Tom Bombadil into a boring, dirty hobo from California! Accelerationism HO!

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow. None has ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the Master: His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster.
I loved andy serkis's reading of this scene he brought so much character to it
Song not scene
New Tom Bombadil is quite the dour sage, his garb coloured to match the spirit of the age. He’s white and he’s male-so in case you didn’t cotton, it’s clear as the day that he’s due for something rotten.
Get out you old wight. Vanish in the sunlight! The song then ends with the line ‘where gates stand for ever shut, till the world is mended’. Keep gate keeping folks. For the good of the world!
So arguably the "gayest" character in the books, who they should have been more than happy to depict for diversity sake... They ruin by making him NOT that way?
Oh Tom.. what did they do to you? Nothing. They did nothing to you. Because that's clearly not Tom Bombadil.
Tom Bombadil is a drab fellow
Pale grey is his jacket
And his boots are sallow
Misery is his chain
He lives in constant pain
Lol great
Literally me
“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.”
Back to this again.
Leftists wrote 40k.
yep!
Forever so.
Weird. I correctly mentioned that leftists wrote Warhammer 40k but my comment was deleted. I wonder why I would be censored like that?
inb4 "nOt a Tolkien qUOte"
While heavily paraphrased, it is based on a line from Return of the King, where Frodo speculates that "Shadow [that bred them..] can only mock."
Oh in the name of Tolkien...no. just no. Even peter jackson was wise enough to not touching Tom Bombaldil, who in the right mind of amazon team's awe inspiring incompentency thought they could do this character right!?
Greed and hubris, largely at amazon, destroys all it touches
@@matthewzumbo9868where is bezos’ ring?
Tom has always been a bad childish character
They aint doing him right, they're doing Tom Bombadil as they, the Wangz of Power script-writers that is, conceptualize him, ultra-woke probably.
Also he is IN THE FUCKING BAJA CALIFORNIA FOR SOME MISBEGOTTEN REASON! WTF!?!
@@FELIPEFODAOBR12Found the progressive who can't understand Bombadil.
Tom Bombadil = leaves his woods once in an eon just because he lost his hat... he then scurries back as fast as his legs can carry him.
Amazon = he lives in the desert now in a cabin that looks like it's from the Western gunslinger movie. LOL LOL
Tom Bombadil... A godlike (potentially a literal god) character of emmense power , wisdom and knowledge, none of which is ever really seen, but still never doubted...
How should we portray him? I know... He needs to be a piss-stained california hobo, cosplaying as a basic-bitch DnD wizard, on a budget of $2,- and a broken crack pipe.
Also; Thank you for your service. You may be a silly little Fjeldabe, but watching this garbage so we don't have to, makes you good people.
Is Fjeldabe a slur? If so please tell me what it means.
@@Hippo_Hegemony It is indeed.
Fjeldabe (roughly translates to "mountain monkey"), is what We Danes call Norwegians. And they have similar terms for us.
Scandinavians are Brothers. We fight and call eachother names. We have been at war (literally and figuratively) since the dawn of time. But in the end, all the hate and violence comes from a place of love.
We commonly say that Danes and Norwegians only get along when we are both bullying Sweden. And even then, we only pick on Sweden because he is the youngest brother and it is our duty to beat some sense into him and make him a man (we sort of failed a bit at that last part :/ ).
@@bikerviking1947 I just wanted to learn a new slur
@@Hippo_Hegemony
A worthy pursuit, if ever there was one
@@bikerviking1947 If Sweden is the youngest brother, what does that make Iceland? The little sister?
“Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the Little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside.” - One of the best parts of the Fellowship, imo: a description that, despite being clear, leaves so much to mystery. But trust Amazon to not even make him *look* right, they'll for sure make him Goldberry's hobo husband.
Having not read it, that's fricken awesome. The most I know was the whole "bombadillo" silliness.
It inspires an odd fear of power.
That Bombadil saw some shit. Probably first season of Rings of Power.
lmao
They even inverted where he lives... Now that is dedication to destroy every single detail they can.
All our of spite
Oh joy, I can't wait for sad and depressed Tom Bombadil in washed out grey colors......remember when we were allowed to have fun? God I miss those days.
Tom bombadi is gonna be the most symbolic representation of the modernation adaptations great failings.
@@theliato3809 I don't think so, I don't believe he is prominent enough for it to hit that many people.
Peter Jackson left out Tom Bombadil because his character wouldn't have fit with the rather dark tone of this part of his Fellowship movie. And Peter Jackson didn't want to change his character to make him fit. Amazon evidently has no such qualms and now we get whatever this is? Bright blue jacket? Yellow boots? Merry fellow? Nah.
Tom Bombadil and Goldberry are supposed to the beacons of positivity and goodness in Middle Earth. RoP will do what even Melkor could not and corrupt them.
No, it's not Tom Bombadill, it's Tim Benzedrine from "Bored of the Rings."
"Toke-a-lid! Smoke-a-lid! Pop the mescalino!
Stash the hash! Gonna crash! Make mine methedrino!
Hop a hill! Pop a pill! For Old Tim Benzedrino!"
"The rings of power are so garstly it makes Tom Bombadil cry!" Gandalf
You think this is bad?
Just wait for Girl-Boss Goldberry.
She gona be black and/or bald.
Anyone surprised? I'm not.
I am Arch's lack of surprise lmao
from THE whimsical fellow empowered by the very world itself with no need for fear of his own (and who treats even the malevolent like naughty toddlers) married to a blonde timeless beauty, living carefree amidst forest, river and flower in the mildest of summer climes like a fay in the good-times of stories.
OF COURSE he's end up dishevelled & alone in a sun and sand blasted hovel, alone, face and frazzle scored by the passing of hard worn times and slumped in a shadow wreathed pile of rocks.
i'd bet no song, rhyme, ditty nor dance will pass from his puckered ass.
Tom Bombadil can't save us from the horrors of the Rings of Power...just offering us respite before it releases
Amazon: Watch how we trample one of the most happiest and merry fellow in Tolkien's literature.
0:30 Looks like they took pictures of some random hippy in California.
If that isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel, nothing is
He looks like John the Baptist. Living in the wilderness with his camel skin eating locusts and raw honey.
Nah, John the Baptist was a wise and holy man who would’ve worn the most humble of robes, but he wouldn’t have been filthy and miserable.
Point being a literal hermit would’ve looked more respectable and joyful than this miserable creature.
This is the saddest most drastic homeless guy. He looks just so utterly opposite of what he is supposed to be. He is a singing dancing powerful being, full of joy and cheer. Living in the woods with his wonderfull wife Goldberry.
And Fatty Lumpkin!
This show is non cannon and everyone will have totally forgot it ever existed before the end of the decade.
I hope so.
Humans are anoyingly easy too corrupt.
Look how they've massacred our boy.
Funnily enough I've yet to see any advertising for this season. So, Amazon must know.
I wonder if they'll put it on their packing materials this time like first season.
Tom California Hobo Bombadil
Surprised they didn't put bird droppings in his hair like what they did with Radagast The Brown.
Can guarantee Goldberry will not be "golden", or more than likely non-existent.
She will be stunning and brave and Will need "no mawn"
Goldberry will be from the wnba.
The only thing golden thing will probably be their shower. Now thats modern and inclusive!
Tom looks like he's about to chase the merchants out of his father's temple.
When I first read Lord of the Rings at the imaginative age of 14, I pictured Tom as an energetic, slightly taller Leprechaun, dancing around his wife as they set the dinner table and completely unbothered by malevolent trees or raindrops. Let this incarnation burn!
Too bad Amazon destroyed the legacy of JRR Tolkien.
Bezos is the current dark lord
It's the same level of audacity as saying you're writing new Shakespeare plays and they're authenticly Shakespeare cannon. People would think you're insane.
Nah they didn't destroy it, they just made a fool out of themselves. Tolkien fandom is still there and books still sell well (actually better) after the show
You can't really do it, the fact thet he wrote the books oriiginally cannot undone by bad movey adaptation. Though I fear the day when they announce a "sequel" for the books.
Rings of power isn’t related to The Lord of the Rings or Tolkien in any way really. It’s just some dumb show from Amazon copying a few people’s names.
To be honest, Count Dankula would have fit really well in the role as Tom Bombadil imo.
LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY!
Brian Blessed is the only human, past, present or future, that could even think about adapting Tom B. And even then, only barely.
Anyone else remember when shows with a message were still bright and colorful? Look at Captain Planet, for instance! A show about eco conservatism, and even the villains were brightly colored!
Ahh true mustache twirling villains.
Loved their motivations, spent billions on this oil to dump it wahah.
He wont be Whimsy at all will he? and i guess they will just say " He's Eru "
If Tolkien had written Lord of the rings on the current day, the evil forces would symbolize not industrialization/Modernism but Postmodernism.
He looks like _The Mighty Boosh_ decided to do a LOTR parody.
"We have to go and visit the magic forest man Vince."
"Not the bloody singing again!"
For those of you who don't know about the old animated Lord of the Rings movies, the song "Where there's a whip, there's a way" is well worth watching.
The first movie was made by Ralph Bakshi and it covers the first two books. The second movie is made Rankin Bass.
"Funny Little Things" From The Hobbit is a fond childhood memory of mine. Also Paladin Richard Boone voiced Smaug.
The 9-to-5er's anthem.
Why is youtube deleting my comments? All I said was the song Funny Little Things from The Hobbit was great when I was a kid and Paladin Richard Boone was the voice of Smaug.
A timeless classic, that song.
So just like how they made elves - basically a human with pointy ears.
Lol, Tom Bombadil in the desert, sad and grouchy; Amazon will probably have him running an old curio shop selling silver and turquoise belt buckles and rattlesnake heads off the side of a dirt road next to the freeway in Arizona. 😂
I always took Tom to be similar to Ungoliant. Something cut from the same cloth, from outside Arda. Where she is an all consuming cancer to creation that hates Illuvitars creation (like amazon), he loves the creation and enjoys it.
I would have guessed Amazon would have made Tom more loud than a Pride Parade. But seems the opposite happened and Tom needs someone to teach him to smile.
of course they cant get the always cheery, colorful, whimsical and yet at the same time INCREDIBLY POWERFUL character right!
His point in the story is to be the single strongest being on the side of good, yet also too quirky in his mindset to want to get involved in the war itself (Gandalf argues that if he was given the ring, he wouldnt be corrupted by it, but he would likely just forget about it and lose it uncaringly, making him unfit as a ringbearer). he is an anomaly to even the setting's equivalent of divine beings, but at the same time is perfectly content just being happy in his own little corner of the world, protecting it and nothing else; thet kind of being who would still enjoy his simple life with a smile even as the rest of the world burned, as if unaware of what was going on outside his woods.
So of course by modern laws, he must be turned into a miserable, depressed hobo, instead of a being thats perpetually happy because its in his very nature to BE happy
Wanna bet that some girl boss is teaching him joy and making him the Tom we know from the books?
Even If by the lore Tom is the first being to pop into being on middle earth... even before elves If I remember correctly...
If I had to guess, they were setting this up as pre-Goldberry Bombail, and have him be all mopey. And probably have Nori be the one to set him off to find her, or somesuch nonsense.
Except they have been married since before the Sun and the Moon were made.
@@maxpower3990 That won't stop the writers
"In our story he has gone out to the lands of Rhûn."
Doesn't he like... not leave his forest?
They just can't help themselves.
Amazon ROP is like the diarrhea that never stop. It only requies a moment to continue.
Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow,
By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us!
Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!
Of course Tom looks irked and sad. Somebody has stolen his clothes and left sacking in there place. He stepped outside to see a Sun cracked wasteland. Not his normal lush surroundings
Out of every character they could shit all over, they choose Tom Bombadil? Jesus Christ. I miss the days when we weren't afraid of Hollywood adapting the IPs we love.
Also, this trend where books now come with advertisements for TV shows/series is absolute cancer. I was looking to buy the full Witcher set a couple of years ago, and the only copies I was finding had "Netflix" stamped (printed) on the cover and back. Not a leaflet, not a card. The goddamn cover. As if I was buying a Netflix product.
Just make him appear goofy and fun at first glance but at some point show him doing a 10billion yard stare, in order to point out how insanely old he really is.
Just from the images I've seen. They've already messed him up, he is not very merry fellow. His jacket may be blue but his boots are barely yellow.
Tom Hobodil looks exactly as expected.
Who wants to bet, they'll make his wife dark as the night
Can't wait for Goldberry...
I have 1 million dollars on her being black
From the last rumor ... He and Goldberry are Morgoth and Ungoliat spending their sentence in Middle Earth ...
> Ralph Bakshi mentioned
Based Arch as always
Though I prefer Fire and Ice
Indeed.
I in my mind Tom is the song of creation made manifest, what was left if the song of the Ainur after it made the world.
Why is he near a desert? He had lush gardens and spent all of his time in the forest. There are no deserts in the middle of middle earth. Yeah, they exist but not where Tom lived.
the funny thing with Tom Bombadil getting the ring is that he would keep the ring from Sauron if he thought playing a game of keep away was funny. So he'd keep the ring in sight of Sauron and just keep it away from him for shits and giggles. Just for Sauron to finally get within an inch of getting it and Tom snatching it right out from under his fingers saying. "Hey this is real fun let's play again!"
Looks like Hagrid bought a hat.
Looks like even Tom Bombadil is worn down by DEI.
That's not Tom Bombadil, thats a Hagrid cosplay.
I think I have guessed what they have planned for poor old Tom Bombadil.
They are probably setting the story so that this is before he met Goldberry.Therefor Tom Bombadil, the embodiment of joyous song, is just a depressed powerless man who needs a wife to fix him.
I really hope I am wrong. While stories where someone down on their luck turns around after meeting a love interest can be good. A depressed Tom Bombadil should not exist.
He’s the kind of character who would probably sing joyful songs at the end of the world, simply because that is what he does, that is who he is.
Isn't he a cheerful and happy fellow?
Tom Bombadil is batman now, all characters must be batman at some point
Honestly, I'm suprised 'they're' not a black lesbians.
Let's see Goldberry
@@MadsterV my guess, a poc and all his power actually comes from her. Even if he does have power, he's a sad loser (gotta be since he's white)
Why is he in the desert? I always pictured his FOREST as almost a swampland. Overgrown, wild, and dark.
I actually didn't expect them to bring Tom to the screen. Maybe the supposed leak that suggests RoP will confirm Tom Bombadil and Goldberry to be Morgoth and Ungoliant serving their "sentence" from Eru is true after all. I mean, what's a little more butchery of Tolkien's legendarium to these show-runners?
The good thing is this role can save a poor califonian hobo.
The greatest evils target and attack the greatest goods
I'm not even the biggest Lord of the Rings fan and I know that's not what Tom Bombadil is supposed to look like.
I know Amazon doesn't have full rights to Tolkiens works, but everything else they've done is just sad.
Ah yes, the being that cares little if at all for things beyond his domain and refuses to leave it, simply moves to a summer house 5000 miles east randomly to be a part of a dreadful TV show.
The problem is that, unlike Jackson's LOTR,which has basically the original characters to compare with Amazon's cheaper copies, Tom Bombadil here will be possibly the first video iteration of this character, and might thus stick out, in the minds of the layity whenever the character is brought up in conversation.
his smile and optimism: gone.
Hollywood in a nutshell. A joyless exercise in religious woke dogma.
Tom Bombadil looking like the Witch King of Angmar? _Hmm._
This is a false Tom Bombadil.
It'll be revealed that the *real* is Tomina Bombay!!!
A brave Easterling Woman of Color with half shaved head
It is amazing to see Arch's mind snap in real-time.
Tom Bombadull looks great.
Tom Fentanyl.
Well the good news is that Amazon only has the rights to the appendices. They can't do any proper Lord of the Rings. Anything from the books has to be licensed from WB.
Can wait to see the ratings for season 2 of Rings of Power.
It brings great sorrow to the heart to see the deepest representations of Tolkien's love of whimsy & mystic into the adult to be rendered as a muddled gray blob of a homeless man in the hills of LA.
I qm with you on the accelerationism here but damn if it doesn't still hurt to see.
Even though things that Tolkien said in his letters make this not the case, my head canon has always made Tom Bombadil some sort of physical representation of the Song that created Arda. He sings a lot, he has said or it's been said of him that he has existed basically since Arda existed, his land would be immune or at least resistant to evil until there was no hope left, he has an obvious affinity for wildlife and plants, the ring seemingly has no effect on him, he is in general a bright and happy being.
They made Tom look like he's on his 4th divorce and he ran out of booze.
After hobo Gandalf, let's have hobo Bombadil. I bet Goldberry will be a cosette dressed in rags and living under a table.
The highlight of the show will be the two hobos making some moonshine together deep in the forest of Fangorn. 🤣
"Yer a nuisance Gandalf!" - Hagrid
Never forget that when you watch modern writers twist and subvert beloved stories and characters, you are actually watching a child gleefully break his dad’s bowling trophy. You are watching them sit their dad down and scream at him for two hours. It is a resentment born from inferiority. Lesser sons of greater sires, as Tolkien would say.
I always assumed Tom was whimsy and goodness made manifest. Like an Avatar of Positivity.
He looks like a hobo wizard.
Like Hagrid.
What everyone wanted, Grim Dark Tom Bambidil
Donuts to dollars his wife left him.
They will make him throw fireballs or some shit instead of singing mighty creatures into submission.
4:51
My head cannon was always that Tom Bombadil was two things.
1: He was the Physical representation of Aru Aluvitar in middle earth, the ring has no sway over him, because what kind of power can you tempt a being who already has the power of creation.
2: The Meta self insert of Tolkien himself, as personally wise Tom is very similar to the Hobbits and Tolkien regarded himself a Hobbit in all but name.
But you can bet your ass that Amazon is gonna fuck this up.
Tom is the Earth himself! No wonder they'd make him look dark! >.>
THANK YOU ARCH!!!!!!
TBH, if these destroyers and usurpers (Payne & McKay) hadn't announced their foul plan, I'd have assumed that grimy sullen bugger was a Blue wizzard.
(pointy hat, staff, grimy blue cloak, in the East)
"Aqualung my friend, don't you start a way too easy, you see it's only me." What? Your name's Tom.? Sorry mate, I was looking for another poor, homeless bastard.
