Tom Bombadil from JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings franchise

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The first-look photos for Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 have given viewers a glimpse of all the sophomore outing has to offer, including the appearance of Tom Bombadil. Unfortunately, it seems like The Rings of Power has already botched an iconic element of J.R.R. Tolkien's memorable character.

Tom Bombadil's Costume In The Rings Of Power Is Completely Wrong The Character's Look Is Not What Tolkien Described Notably absent from Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Tom Bombadil doesn't have a huge impact on the core storyline of The Fellowship, making him an easy cut. That said, Tom Bombadil's first live-action appearance will be in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2.

The Rings of Power's costume designer, Luca Mosca, was reportedly inspired by Tolkien's description of Tom Bombadil. However, the end result is a much more muted and dingy take on the iconic character's eccentric appearance. In short, it's nothing like Tolkien described. Tom Bombadil's non-canon look isn't the first time that Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has deviated from Tolkien's source material.

Tom Bombadil's Costume Is A Bad Sign For The Rings Of Power's Version Of The Character The Iconic Lord Of The Rings Character Might Be Less Whimsical Close Based on the first-look photos of Tom Bombadil's costume, it seems like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power tones down his more outlandish and whimsical elements to adhere to the show's more serious tone. Changing Tom's character so drastically kind of defeats the point of including him at all.
