However, readers may wonder about this.
Meanwhile, Daniel Weyman represents the show’s version of Gandalf.
For Gandalf to seek out an old friend would make sense.
It really isn’t clear exactly how well Gandalf and Tom Bombadil knew each other.
Gandalf knew that Tom had seldom been traveling, but did not state that he hadn’t.
Tom Bombadil could have spoken with Gandalf about things that scarcely any other being around could have.
Gandalf was one ofLord of the Rings’five Istari- five of the oldest beings on the continent.
Tom Bombadil could have spoken with Gandalf about things that scarcely any other being around could have.
It’s possibleGandalf was looking for some well-deserved understanding, sympathy, and verbal trips down memory lane.
Whereas, Tom Bombadil sat the war out.
So, one may have thought that it would be Tom Bombadil looking to Gandalf for tips.
However,Tom Bombadil had something Gandalf didn’t.
Gandalf, on the other hand, was known as “the Grey Pilgrim.
With the war over, perhaps it was time to learn from Tom and become more stable.
Tom Bombadil was a renowned pacifist.

In visiting Tom Bombadil,Gandalf could have been checking the temperature of things at a crucial time.
As usual, he could have desired to keep things on track and going in the right direction.
This place had been his home after the Timeless Halls for many scarcely countable years.
Regardless of his desire, Gandalf may have been called back to Valinor byLord of the Rings'15 Valar.
It was his responsibility to report back on his mission to oppose Sauron.
Gandalf was a Maia, one of the ancient Ainur who had dwelled in Valinor since its inception.
As such, he was as welcome there as the Elves.
While mortals were not allowed in,Tom Bombadil and Goldberry were clearly no average mortals.
It’s likely he knew people there, considering his age.
This temporal clash meant thatGandalf left the rescuing of the Shire all to the Hobbits.
From a narrative perspective, this makes sense, as Gandalf’s presence would have tipped the scales.
This left them finalized as worthy candidates for positions of power alongside Aragorn.
Merry, Pippin, and Sam became Counsellors of the North Kingdom, putting the Shire on the map.
They developed key leadership skills in the Scouring of the Shire.
Perhaps, somewhere deep down inside, Gandalf knew this inThe Lord of the Rings.
The franchise is based on J.R.R.
