Okay, but why didn’t they send Tom Bombadil dressed up as a UPS driver right into mount doom?

“Express jewelry delivery for a Mister Sauron.”

“Whoops, silly me.”
They did Tom dirty by cutting him out of the movies.
I want an extra hour of Tom wandering the forest, fucking with Old Man Willow, and feasting with the hobbits, flexing by wearing the ring, etc.
After reading the books I realised they did a lot of characters dirty.
But I also realise a series of walks and nice suppers with various characters wouldn’t be as good of a film.
The movies are incredible and I watch them every year with my wife. The books are great, but also very different.
“My dinner with Tom Bombadil”
He ain’t leaving that forest he don’t give a fuuuck.
But if memory serves, whatever magic shenanigans he has, only works within his forest.
Elrond suggested it, but Gandalf vetoed it as Mr. Bombadil wouldn’t likely leave his forest, especially not to go to Mordor. And while he might hold onto the ring for safe keeping, Gandalf worried that he would not understand the need and would toss it aside somewhere and forget about it. Making him a unsuitable keeper of the Ring, despite it having no effect on him.
What was stopping Gandalf just opening a portal straight over the lava of Mt. Doom and tossing the ring in?
I blame Elrond. He should’ve drop kicked Isildur’s ass right into the volcano.
Because Aperture Labs didn’t open until the 1950s duh.
How come the dwarves just dig a tunnel under Mordor straight into the lava tubes of Mt Doom?
