I feel like it's a no-win situation with Tom Bombadil. I think that any filmmakers/show-runners trying to include him would be inclined to change him to better fit in with everything else, which would piss off all the Bombadil fans, but altering everything else to make him feel less random would piss off the same people. Meanwhile, filming everything 100% exactly as it is in the book would make those people happy in theory, but they might not actually like the finished product as much as they think they would and it probably wouldn't result in a particularly entertaining and commercially-viable product (and the prospect of money is ultimately what brings Tolkien to us on-screen).

That said, since we've already had a "straight" live-action LotR adaptation, I agree with the first Anon and would be fine with a trippy, weird one, kind of like how different Batman adaptations go all over the place.

That’s kind of why I think it would work in a series format, since you can have your off-the-wall musical Bombadil episode. Once it’s over, if anyone ever bringd him up again you can go the canon route of saying he’d get bored and wander off if you tried to get him to do anything useful and ignore him.

I’m all for the trippy animated version of the story, though.
