I should've been made into an easter egg

Yes, and the bridge film might have included them.

Maybe a separate scene for most of that stuff

Tom and Goldberry do work in dramatic form -

But the EEs weren't originally planned

I think he may have got Tom

It is fine for you to dislike it

The basic concept behind Tolkien's use of language in the LOTR is certainly impressive.

One does not have to read a book written by a "Tolkien expert" to review the LOTR.
