      The single act of excising the tumor that is Tom Bombadil is enough by itself to make the LOTR movies better than the books, but the improvements don't stop there. Tolkien was a great idea guy but his prose is a slog.

      Bombadil is the entire actual plot screeching to a halt so that Tolkien's characters can sit around awkwardly admiring his blatant idealized self-insert. Apparently that's only bad writing when teenage girls on Tumblr do it in their fanfic.

      Well that's an unusual read.

      Wait I'm pretty sure Tolkien said *Faramir* was his self-insert. Bombadil is more like his folksy version of what he imagines God would do when he was slumming (though he did deny this was the case).

      I mean, it's him importing a goofy character from a bedtime story for his kids he based on an actual doll they had

      It's not exactly "self-insert", it's crossover

      It's like how neither Lars nor Sadie are actually a "self-insert" for Rebecca Sugar on Steven Universe in any direct sense But the fact that they're imported from the old slice-of-life comics she did in college is why they're "a piece of myself in the show", as she put it

      Even though she's the creator of the whole show anyway It's the same idea, they're an in-joke from her life before she became the creator of this show and they're an intrusion from a different "level of sub-creation" (as Tolkien would put it)

          Anyway that's what people kind of get across when saying characters like this feel like "self-insert" when that obviously isn't literally true Self-indulgence Obviously it means more to him than to the audience who doesn't know the backstory
