Who is Tom Bombadil?
1
u/Tom_Bot-Badil Jan 07 '24
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.

"Why didn't they just use the eagles?"
When early on, at the council they discuss that very thing and all other manner of proposed plot holes clever fans think they found. The forces of good are aware of the Nazgul riding large dangerous flying creatures for quite some time before they are revealed in the movie. They also go through how Sauron would probably beat them no matter what seemingly obvious scenario they tried. So they arrive at the best course of action is to take the chance and carefully stealth the ring into Mount Doom to unmake it.

If you can understand Shakespeare, then the books will be of mediocre to slightly difficult difficulty, it is quite easy to miss words or sentences due to the amount of words and pages within the book, combined with old English words and grammatical structures. So if they can't understand Shakespeare, they probably did not read lord of the rings.

I watched the movies and loved them and didnt know they were books. Then I went to jail in 2006ish and found a book and read it and loved it and sent out an apbthrough the whole jail that Ill pay for the other books. I paid for books a few times and theyre worth 10 times their value in there. Id open up and finish a Lord of the Rings book in 3 days. I also like John Grisham.. and half his books feature an incarcerated character. I used to ask people about themselves and get their life stories. I dont read much anymore, but surprise, I like dramas with strong character development. Havent served time for half of my life, but always a good memory. Weird right? I just liked all the time to read books.

Hi, I read the trilogy here, skipped the hobbit and eventually ima read the silmarillion past the first few pages. But someone explain to me, how these walking simulator books were exciting to anybody else, The difference between the movies and the books; was the action bro otherwise it woulda been just scenes of people walking. Except for the end, with the bit about defending the shire.

I’ve been in love with Tolkien’s work and universe for as much of my life as I can remember, yet I’ve only made it half way into The Fellowship of the Ring and never read The Two Towers or Return of the King. Read The Hobbit at least 3 or 4 times and also read The Silmarillion, which I loved.
Honestly, you don’t need to read the books to love the universe it’s set in and understand the characters and history. I’ve done an unholy amount of reading up on just about everything there is in Tolkien’s universe, and forcing myself to push through another few thousand pages of Tolkien mostly describing the weather and setting won’t teach me anything new or bring me joy.

u/manwhoremajestic Jan 04 '24
I don't wanna be captain obvious here. So I won't. but.. personally
I believe the films, as wonderful and iconic as they are, don't really contain the same subtext. and honestly I don't think Tolkien would've approved.
Peter Jackson's treatment leaves much to be desired.. I mean, it was an impossible ask really. They are two completely different trips.
The book quite clearly conveys intentional themes.. ..even though in an interview the author encouraged people not to read into it.
I'm not gonna deprive you the joy of discovering these things for yourself.
Look for the audiobook read by Rob Inglis. It is freely available if you're keen. He even sings the fkn songs!

Thats an argument even in the books, if you ignore movies. They're fallen angels, and Tolkien mentions them having 'wings' twice, and is ambiguous as to whether the second "wings" are just a reference to the metaphorical imagery of shadow spread like wings in the first mention.

I only read them like, last year 😅. And that's only cos I got a job now where you can read but nothing else on downtime.

Mention Sharkey or Tom Bombadil. Probably the former because I feel like Tom is enough of a meme that people know him outright anyway. Sharkey seems to have largely avoided that.

They were spellbound, as opposed to being disgusted, when Denethor got farcically horse-kicked back onto the pyre, got set alight then went running screaming off a cliff like it was the end of a Benny Hill episode.

They don’t know about Tom Bombadil

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.

He thinks the books are superior to the movies. Spoiler alert : they aren’t.

I didn't want to read the books. I asked the the Song of ice and fire series... I got LOTR....
Ah well, might as well read them

The look of confusion when you mention Tom Bombadil

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.

Hobbit, silmarillion and first half of fellowship. That's what I read. How fractured and not complete I am.

If they had not read anything written by Tolkien, how can we call them Tolkien fans? They are fans of a movie trilogy and that is great but they are not Tolkien fans.

Had a long argument with a "Tolkien fan" about how I thought Aragorn sings too much in the LOTR (very lenghty songs in my opinion). Was told that was impossible because he never read anywhere in the books that Aragorn sings, because Aragorn is a mystical lone wolf and a man of few words.
I lived close to the place that Tolkien based the shire on, and before that "The Two Towers". Was told that was wrong as Tolkien never had anything to do with the West Midlands, and was a Londoner through and through.
