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

      “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? 😅😶

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