90 Years Later, The Weirdest Lord of the Rings Character Just Got Even More Elusive
Briefly

Tom Bombadil, traditionally seen as a quirky character from 'The Fellowship of the Ring', has a foundational role in the lore of Middle-earth.
In episode 4 of Rings of Power Season 2, Tom Bombadil's character reveals a strange origin, deepening the mystery around his eccentric nature.
The scene where Tom rescues The Stranger parallels a moment from 'Fellowship', showing Tom's recognizable role despite the different tree, Old Man Ironwood.
The absence of Tom Bombadil in previous adaptations highlights a perception of him as inconsequential, yet true fans recognize his importance in Tolkien's universe.
