He’s not your tropey anime secret badass type of character that acts funky and then suddenly can wipe the floor with anyone.

His “power” is different and not really applicable to the outer world, although he is technically “”strong”” in his own domain

basically alpha and omega tier

His power is strong you say? How many power units do you suppose that measures up to?

Infinite of course.

Has hardly any feats to compare.
Had no direct influence on ME besides save the hobbits a couple times. From a tree and a ghost. How are you supposed to measure him against the great elf and human warriors or even the Ainur? His most impressive trait is the ring has no effect on him. But Sup Forums autists will tell you he’s god tier based on their own fan fiction cringe theories

!!!WARNING!!!
!!!NON-MEME ANSWER!!!

He is a strange creature, but maybe I should have summoned him to our Council.’
‘He would not have come,’ said Gandalf.
‘Could we not still send messages to him and obtain his help?’ asked Erestor. ‘It seems that he has a power even over the Ring.’
‘No, I should not put it so,’ said Gandalf. ‘Say rather that the Ring has no power over him. He is his own master. But he cannot alter the Ring itself, nor break its power over others. And now he is withdrawn into a little land, within bounds that he has set, though none can see them, waiting perhaps for a change of days, and he will not step beyond them.’
‘But within those bounds nothing seems to dismay him,’ said Erestor. ‘Would he not take the Ring and keep it there, for ever harmless?’
‘No,’ said Gandalf, ‘not willingly. He might do so, if all the free folk of the world begged him, but he would not understand the need. And if he were given the Ring, he would soon forget it, or most likely throw it away. Such things have no hold on his mind. He would be a most unsafe guardian; and that alone is answer enough.’
‘But in any case,’ said Glorfindel, ‘to send the Ring to him would only postpone the day of evil. He is far away. We could not now take it back to him, unguessed, unmarked by any spy. And even if we could, soon or late the Lord of the Rings would learn of its hiding place and would bend all his power towards it. Could that power be defied by Bombadil alone? I think not. I think that in the end, if all else is conquered, Bombadil will fall, Last as he was First; and then Night will come.’
‘I know little of Iarwain save the name,’ said Galdor; ‘but Glorfindel, I think, is right. Power to defy our Enemy is not in him, unless such power is in the earth itself. And yet we see that Sauron can torture and destroy the very hills.

tolkein nerds are the wrost

Second only to odin

Why didn't they just have like 10000 eagles fly Bombadil's entire forest directly to Mordor and drop it right in the middle of it?
That way Bombadil would be forced to fight Sauron.

Autistic level

Would it be fair to say Bombadil is some sort of "Father Nature"?, If nor the old elves from the council nor Gandalf, an Istari, are quite sure who Bombadil is, while they call him "The first and the last" the theory that he was Iluvatar himself wouldn't make sense, and he's married to a girl named Goldberry who's supposed to be some sort of ideal half for him, the way I'd interpret it would be some kind of benign Eve, but in a role of "Mother Nature". And in his forest he's the master and everything is blooming and fertile and pretty.

More than Iluvatar they reminds me of Tulkas and Nessa, but that wouldn't make sense either since Tulkas was the last Vala, made specifically to beat the shit out of Melkor.

9001

He is the most powerful character in the game

what's recommended lotr nerd reading besides the hobbit, the lotr, and the silmarillion?

Children of Hurin, Unfinished Tales.

I'd recommend the Chronicles of Narnia, they're evidently not as good, since they were styled more as traditional children tales (closer to the style of The Hobbit), and C.S.Lewis often goes too far with the christian references, but he is also quite good with world building and adventure, in books like The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair and The Magician's Nephew, you can see why Lewis and Tolkien were friends.

I don't recommend any of the films aside from maybe the first one though.

What are you looking for exactly? Good sense of adventure? Good world building?

>TFW you could summon him with a magic spell in Battle for Middle Earth 2
>he would literally fucking dance across the map and trample everything in his way like a fucking cavalry charge and blow things up by singing at them

It was amazing

Do you think thats how it would really go if he was summoned to the battlefield?

his superpower is bringing stories that are already taking forever to get going to a grinding halt while contributing nothing to said story.

Spot the brainlet.

not a word

Pointless / 10

It's over 9000

19 power units

NOT any other Tolkien books.
NOT Narnia.

Try Poul Anderson's "The Broken Sword" - written in the same time period as LOTR but set in dark age europe. Vikings, Elves, Trolls, Jotuns and fucking cool prose

author self insert/10

>And that, dear Frodo, is why you must become the Lord of the Rings

Dear God Tolkien

I always theorised that Bombadils was a weird effect of the Song of Creation itself. Something Eru put in but never mentioned to the Ainur.
Why did he do this? I'm not too sure, but Eru Illuvatar works in mysterious ways.

This is so different to the shitty meme "bad ass" description that gets throw around. Thanks for posting it.

bombadil was in the song he sings to himself in the shower

>Nine companions. So be it. You shall be The Fellowship of the Ring™.
>Who now has the strength to stand against... the union of The Two Towers™?
>Authority is not given to you to deny The Return of the King™, steward!
THE MEME IS ALIVE

It was actually a doll the author gave to his children and then made stories for it.

Better arbitrary and ambivalent nerds than decimal powerlevel autists.

this thread is /lit/ty

unironically ok with all of these

>there is only one The Lord of the Rings, and he does not share power
Was this necessary?

The Bible

put the ring on his dick and walk into mordor level

>new LotR show coming out
>this character may appear
Don't lie.

This is the right answer because tom himself says his power only stretches as far as his domain, so whatever that means.

>singing a song about yourself

Autism.

He's basically god of a tiny forest. Nearly omnipotent within it, but too carefree to do anything globally significant with his power.

Is Sauron (or Morgoth if he was still around) aware of Tom? Could he enter his realm or at least harm his forest from the outside? Could he even find it?

Yes.

if melkor ever tried to fuck with tom tom would destroy him so fast manwe couldn't even perceive it happening
