Everyone mourns the loss of Tom. I mourn the loss of the barrow-wight sequence. Perfect extended cut material.

Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

Tom Bombadil would have been a 20 minute distraction in the movie without any impact on the overall story. It was a good decision to not include Tom.
This meme also applies to IT by Stephen King. Referring to the scene where Beverly pulls a train at the end. That will never be filmed, but unlike Tom Bombadil, no one’s asking for the train scene.
