birdshit caked joke
I can't believe that the powers-that-be decided that that was a good decision.
Radagast was specifically tied to birds and beasts, not trees and forests.
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.
