birdshit caked joke
I can't believe that the powers-that-be decided that that was a good decision.
Yes, Rad. Literally every wizard other than Gandalf was nothing but spare parts.
At least Radaghast got a name.
/cries Blue Wizards tears
Their names were Jeff and Frank.
See what I mean? Spare parts.
Not even a G in sight. good wizards have g's in their names, Bad ones S. Radagast, Gandalf vs Saruman, Sauron(well not really a wizard...)
Splitters.
Are we all just going to pretend that Tom Bombadil doesn't exist?
Whatever Tom is, it's leagues beyond "wizard".
Tom is not a Maiar, one of the five who were present at the formation of the universe, he is... older.
a Maiar, one of the five
That would be the Istari, no? Pretty sure there are more than five Maiar...
I just meant the five Maiar who then went on to become Wizards but I phrased it poorly!
My head canon was that Tom was Eru Iluvatar just living his best life enjoying all the things he'd created.
There was a Reddit write up that argued Tom was Arda's spirit itself and had quite a few convincing points. It is pretty clear that (keeping in mind that canon is a bit nebulous beyond the four books JRR actually published) he is probably not a Maia and also probably not Eru, beyond the level that everything is Eru anyways.
Yes. It's easier.
