“Irrelevant”? Feh.Tom was the only one that flipped off the war (that whatever “higher power” wanted to see their Maiar suckups & watered-down Quendi struggle through, etc.) to instead go fuck & frolic with his river nymph wife.
IMHO, if they left him (them) in, more people might’ve been inspired to do similar IRL… Can’t have that, now can we? 😅😶

I’ve read the books. Tom was completely irrelevant and leaving him out of the movies was the right move.

Tom is the one who gave Merry the anti-Angmar sword that dispelled the Witch King’s invulnerability.
