Rings of Power Took a Major Risk With Tom Bombadil and We Are Glad They Made Him Different from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings
Image
The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power series produced by Amazon thrives as an extraordinary precursor to Lord of the Rings (Lotr), one of the most iconic franchises. The series has taken the world by storm with its star-studded cast and imaginative writing.

Rory Kinnear is one of the most fascinating additions in the second season. He plays Tom Bombadil, who is depicted vaguely in J.R.R. Tolkien’s original book. Though the show’s portrayal of the character is very different from its original perspective, fans have mostly loved the performance.

The Bombadil reboot: Rings of Power brought new life to the mysterious character

At first, it seemed that fans were uncertain if the producers would give this ambiguous character justice considering he featured sparingly in the books. However, Rory Kinnear’s Tom Bombadil took a different direction while still retaining the essence of its original form.
