I Don't Know How Many People Will Understand This Parallel, But What Buttons Is In OFMD Is What Tom Bombadil

I don't know how many people will understand this parallel, but what Buttons is in OFMD is what Tom Bombadil is in LotR.

I mean, two funny little guys who handle magic unlike their world? Who seem insignificant until shown bizarre power (transforming into bird/rejecting the One Ring)? Who are able to talk to the nature (Karl/Old Man Willow)? Who are in a relationship with some kind of water element (the f*cking Sea/Goldberry)? And who are also respected by the elders of their world (Auntie/Lord Elrond)? And who are just as big of an enigma to them as to us?

Honestly I don't know what conclusion to make of this, but it was fun to notice.

(Also, I'm a Dr. Wu apologist.)

You know these two would be absolute besties:

"My child is completely fine"

Ma'am, your child has been listening to 'The House of Tom Bombadil' on loop for the last half hour. I think this is a cry for help.

I am very interested in this topic.
