How could anyone with any integrity actually think that an empowered manly Galadriel would have been better than what we already know about her? Fucks sake, the destruction of her character should be criminal

B5 has so many Tolkien references, a great show which might unfortunately get a reboot.

Well, either one was infinitely better than 'Karendriel and the Killer Hobbits'.

well Deep space 9 also had good stories. Babylon 5 was better, but deep space 9 was still some of the best scifi we got.

@@haraldbredsdorff2699 I'd say DS9 was the better show, but Babylon 5 had the better story arcs, either way, both top tier series and so far above the drivel that gets pumped out these days.

They think this is what makes a woman strong because they believe this is what makes men "strong." These are the same behavioral traits that they say makes men "toxic." The truth is these writers don't hate anger, violence, and arrogance. What they are essentially trying to do turn the women into what they see men as so that they can flip the tables and make them the dominant ones.

"Hey, we want to make a strong female character. What do you think we should do?" "Well, you need to take care to really focus on her development as a person instead of just making her a tough, physically strong superhero. You should probably start considering different facets of her character and how you'll tie them into her relationships, past, and the general themes of the story." "Okay, okay, but hear me out: You know all those things that we say are super toxic in male characters? The extreme aggression, condescension, lack of empathy, and all that?" "Yes?" "Let's take those and make them her sole defining traits, and since it makes her look just as tough as the guys we can skip out on the work for character development without any genuine criticism at all, because obviously only misogynists would complain about her being strong." "...BRILLIANT!"

@@O1OO1O1 actually that’s fair

If I’m not mistaken, Galadriel was an accomplished politician by this point in her life. The sad part is that they not only changed the Lore, but they did it to absolutely ruin her as a character. One that is already a character that girls should look up to her if they just kept to her original life arc in the lore 😢

@@O1OO1O1 When in her past thousands of years has she dealt with humans?

Well, except Sauron wasn't a non-entity at this point in Middle-earth history, he had served under Morgoth. But I agree that her character in the series behaves most like him! Sauron trapped in a tiny blonde elf-girl's body!

😂😂😂

Except that they replaced Glorfindel with sword-swinging Arwen 🤣 that’s the worst part of the LOTR movies

Nooooo… strong women are basically men… but strongerrrrrr

...Arwen in LotR movies.... sucks a huge dick, and I don't mean just Aragorn's. Lemme explain: 1. In FotR, she serves to rob the Nazgul of the power and fear they should instill - it really takes away from the threat when one bimbo in a dress armed with a hilariously light, small sword can make NINE RINGWRAITHS PAUSE. Seriously, if it were nine HOBBITS on ponies they shouldn't be in any way phased by her! In the books; the Nazgul completely unphased even by Glorfindel, a well armed Elf who is a hero of many big battles and who murdered a Balrog!!!, and Frodo escapes only due to the speed of his horse and the power of the river. 2. In TT, the visions of her motivate Aragorn to persist through her power of instilling, via his morning wood, hope of sexual intercourse with some hot elven ass. And a happy life of regular sex with a neveraging hottie after the war is won. Problem is... in the BOOKS, Aragorn is motivated by the fact he has been born a King and he is determined to carry out his obligations to his people IN SPITE the fact he is aware his life, even if he wins, is going to be nothing but hard work and self-denial even if the war is won. He'd rather NOT do any of this and go bang the elven ass, but he denies himself the elven ass and goes to war anyway BECAUSE the obligation of being born a King is more important to him than anything. Getting the ass is presented as a SURPRISE to him in the books, not his HOPE and GOAL. So, the whole POINT of the character of Aragorn in the books is going through with doing what you are obliged to do in spite of the detriment it will cause to your own life. In the movies, however, he's cliche-hollywooded into a dude working extra hard to get the pussy he wants. How many times have we seen that? Yes, every movie ever made. See how Arwen's involvement takes AWAY from the books here? 3. In RoTK.... is same as in TT, but we get the ugliest, most disgusting kiss ever put on film; with Aragorn's mouth going like that of a dying carp on the market. That alone is just NO.

@@gaijinhakase1575 one scene which in movie sense makes sense. We NEVER see glorfindel later in the books aside from feast in Rivendell maybe. Replacing him wasn’t that much of a loss for the movie. But in the same time it introduces Arwen earlier. And she doesn’t even get to swing her sword so what’s the harm?)

Glorfindel was an elf lord slain in battle with Balrogs in Gondolin who went to the Halls of Mandos, then left the Halls as a living elf again, and was sent back to Middle-earth before the Wizards to fight Sauron. He is one of the few Noldor left in Middle-earth who lived in Valinor during the time of them trees and thus existed in both the seen and unseen worlds. Arwen was never in Valinor and played no part in the story until her wedding to Aragorn. Glorfindel does not appear in the main story later as he is too hard to hide, unlike Gandalf, and the fellowship was a stealth mission.

Underrated comment

That's a fact Pax! Its so predictable nowadays. Its injected in every facet of society. The same old drivel . Soon to be forgotten. I say bravo Bezos money well spent! Lol.

there IS a similarity, but there's nothing SUBTLE about it.

That's the copium called externalization. That's what Amazon gets for hiring writers more interested in The Message than actual storytelling.

And how some of the people who defend the show are treating the rest of us who see through it and know the show is trash.

I already prefer Sauron. I am team Sauron all day long. It's fucking sad when a show is so bad that most of the audience would rather see the villain win.

@@SkullkeeperVSK Yep and she didn’t have to be a jerk to get peoples respect and be an amazing women.

But even that snappyness was a genuine reaction by someone who was constabtly judged and discouraged from what she loved and enjoyed. So yes Eowyn is a "challange the traditional gender role" character. But done genuine and not turning her into a man for it. She was just a warrior woman who defended what she held dearest. But thats because she was written by Tolkien. And not neo-feminist writers.

She was perfect, unlike her soup

@@Keram-io8hv Thank you, made me laugh out loud remembering that scene just now!

And having fought at the Somme, Tolkien knew what he was talking about when it came to combat.

Tolkien's Galadriel was not meek, and humble is debatable. She wanted to rule. I agree she was friendly and respectful. I will add she was compassionate.

🦇...These characters have no honor. Most of them are narcissistic, selfish, self-centered....🦇 when these terms are used four years of Trump administration springs to mind. could it be possible that the film industry ( or Amazon Prime) took this as prime exemple of leadership?

@@ghyslainabel she wasn't meek, powerful leaders don't tend to be meek.

The first episode was so woke that the writers had to make her unlikeable in order to prove she was better than her male followers.

this whole show is a reflection into who the writers really are

An apt analysis good sir. Showing us their true hubris by taking one of the most epic pieces of fantasy ever written and skull fucking it. Because they think they can do better. Lol

horse galadriel looks like a menstruation pad commercial

Maybe its the marvel writer who has nature girl murder a convenience store worker because she found litter with the stores name on it. Then she murders oil workers. Faces no consequence in the end even from the xmen.

You can apply that to the majority of entertainment our diseased culture produces. Most of it is degenerate, ideology pushing

"a wish brand Feanor" 😂

Nah. At least Feanor and his sons swore an oath (though oaths doesnt seem to mean much in this alternative universe). Galadriel is simply being a bitch

I love this comment. It nails the entire problem with the show. i do not belive that Feanor, had he survived, could have grown up to become similar to galadriel in personality. I simply do not belive it.

Closer to Thorin

It certainly did feel like a scene of genuine female manipulation of a male, the kind that occurs pretty regularly in our own world. *shrug*

Witchcraft spirit...that's what this character is demonstrating. Extreme self-righteousness, manipulation, control.

@ The Hedgehod Driver I dont think she manipulates Halbrand at all, she doesn't even have the ability to do so i think. I am very sure it is the other way around. A lot of people will be surprised about Halbrand and who he really is. There is SO many clues up to this point. He is not used by Galadriel, it is the other way around.

Halbrand is manipulating her since Halbrand is the shapeshifting Sauron. There are clues throughout if you pay close attention.

@@jinparksoul Personally I don't think he is (or at least I hope he isn't because I feel it would undermine what character he has), but I can definitely see why its a popular theory. Personally, I'm thinking he's going to be the Witch King (or at least I hope so), but we'll see.

I wonder if they will turn this into a flaw which she will eventually see major consequences. She is a big contrast to ho Elrond approaches people.

Self-entitlement is a mindset famously attributed to the liberal writers. Seems that Galadriel behaves ideologically as the writers ideologically wrote. The problem with Galadriel being written as a character using "the end justifies the means" is that she is turned into a villainous ideological person.

Rings of Power is pretty damn racist if you ask me.

@@tubbywumbkinsl3846 That you think the writers are capable of that says more about your generous nature than their ability.

No, she is written that way because that is how most females think and feel and behave. They are entitled, think everything should go their way, and literally think the entirety of all of existence revolves around them.

Or to have proper female representation, Frodo was originally female but changed into a male form as a child. Amazon's writers could easily point to their standard excuse "Tolkien didn't oppose this idea in the story" and do it. Then Frodo's accomplishments could be attributed to female inner strength as another feather in the cap of awakened plot writing.

You never know. Maybe we'll see Galadriel teaming up with Miriel to defeat Sauron and then Elendil's made-up daughter picks up Miriel's broken sword to cut the Ring from Sauron's finger. This sounds ridiculous, but honestly the way they've rendered the characters of Gil-Galad, Elendil and Isildur it's hard to imagine such a heroic moment made out of them (let alone the fact it would sideline all the female protagonists by an all-male victory).

While I agree with the nature of this comment. The iconic scene you're referring to was made up by the Peter Jackson trilogy. In the books, Isildur just show the ring from Sauron's hand after he was already defeated. Either way, we won't get a recreation of Peter Jackson's scene.

@@fangiscool1 To be fair, no one specified if Sauron was defeated or not when Isildur takes the ring, so it could apply to either version (though realistically speaking if RoP were to use one, it would be the Percy Jackson one). Then again, I forget if the cutting of the finger using the broken Narsil also happens to defeated book Sauron, or if Isildur just takes the sword and then takes the Ring.

@@fffffplayer1 Isildur does cur the ring with the shards of Narsil. The text describes Sauron as "thrown down." Pretty much everyone interprets this as sauron defeated in battle. I have no issue with you not believing this based on the language in the text, but anyone reading this thread should know that is a very rare belief.

Exactly!

Tolkien technically said they did that only for simplification. Introducing morally grey elements isn’t necessarily bad as long as they’re in character and the story isn’t biased.

@@cosmicspacething3474 so the point of your comment was to... nitpick? Discuss the finer points of Tolkiens aims? Seems like you just had an excuse to write something and so just went for it. Sorry if I happen to write a little bluntly, I know that I tend to have a certain way with words, but I also just so happen to be curious

Amen, that's the crux the modern world can never ever come to fully realize. Guess which side they're on? LOL.

@@M4dM4n96 you have to go back to Reddit dumbass

​@@cosmicspacething3474 if any grayness was to be inserted, it was to be put where Tolkien put it - in the evil people, who initially aren't entirely corrupt. The problem with "morally grey" in Tolkien's world is that you need to tread very very VERY LIGHTLY and keep future in mind as well as past in order for the storyline to converge without contrivances. What do I mean? Lemme explain: when Gandalf realizes the Ring is THE Ring, he sends Frodo to Rivendell because he trusts Elrond with the Ring; and he goes to consult Saruman because he trusts Saruman; and the Fellowship goes to Lorien to seek protection and advice from Galadriel because Aragorn trusts Galadriel once Gandalf gets killed. Now, this storyline relies ENTIRELY on the characters in question - Gandalf, Galadriel, Elrond, Aragorn, even Saruman - being initally morally SOUND, because otherwise, who ever puts trust in either of them is a blithering idiot. If Elrond was a conniving politician who worked by betraying his friends; Gandalf would be an idiot to send the Ring to him. If Galadriel was ready to walk over people for revenge, Aragorn would be a fool to let the Ring come anywhere near her. If Saruman was stupid enough to let anyone see his "turn to the dark side" (like in the Hobbit movies, also stupid), Gandalf would be a total jerk to come to him with the news of the Ring. See the entire PLOT is based on the CHARACTERS, as it SHOULD be; and then if you change the character of the characters, it stops working and everyone turns into an idiot. Like RoP achieved in less than 5 episodes. And no, you can't just "redeem" your characters later so that after a lifetime of betrayal and treachery they're suddenly nice and trustworthy - sorry, that's not how it works. The only place that works in are YA novels, because the characters are 12, so it's believable they're genuinely a different person by the time they're 25.

Many of the shots and camera work in RoP were inspired by LOTR. No need to simp for Blanchett. The main reason why Karaladriel sucks is because of the writing.

They are coming at it like a number of writers for similar characters as readdressing past wrongs hence why Galadriel and similar characters come off as indignant and full of self-righteous fury. They're angry rebels against the status quo. Therefore, whatever their character does and however they do it is justified because something, something patriarchy. They don't bother to think if their character is good because "of course they're good!" giving you a glimpse into the mind of the writers. This is true evil - not the cartoonish moustache-twirling character who relishes in their evil but the ones who are convinced they are right to the point they don't stop to consider the moral implications of their actions.

@@RoninDave well said

I couldn’t have expressed my own feelings better

ye, preaching about toxic masculinity, yet look at what Galadriel is doing, how angry she is, how she is using everyone, how she makes tantrums, they totally destroyed what Galadriel should be - a very strong feminine energy. But writers don't even know anymore what that means, it is lost art.

To be fair, it appears that all of the costumes were ordered on Amazon Prime.

This is a fantastic comment. Blanchett’s portrayal is equal parts calm, commanding presence and endearing, warm, deeply encouraging, and comforting. And she does it all in short screen time. This Galadriel has an entire season of tv and she is just awful.

Do you mean she didn't beat up not-at-all-evil Elven bullies who would sink her boat to make her feel bad? (even tho at that point they all lived in total grace with no knowledge of evil or death before the first sunrise).

The "real" Galadriel from the books was also a Kin slayer and was suffering from a very real curse called "the doom of Mandos." She does not overcome this curse until she refuses the ring from Frodo late in the 3rd age.

.. it was like watching a grade school production. The amount of political correctness is unmatched. In no way shape or form does RoP look like something that people actually believe could exist. Five widely diverse guys and a girl standing there to be taught to fight and seeing a thrust and twist sword motion is so bad that it's genuinely embarrassing. It's like a Western film where the protaganist tells an upstart, "There is much to learn about fighting, but for now, point at the enemy and shoot". It would be like the tank gunner "training" in 'Fury', where the guy purposefully dumbs it down and the audience knows it is and it contributes to the stress that Norman feels about being out of his league. In RoP there is no such understanding. It's terrible.

I think she is worse, Harfoots have a short life and are raised to steal the wheels from the old and infirm to ensure that the old and infirm are left to die. Galadriel has no such excuse as she is 1200+ years old.

thats pretty much what the meaning of original sin is.

@@shiravalen My thoughts exactly. It doesn't seem like it would hold in the long term, and I wonder how steep the downfall will be if it actually happens.

That’s pretty disturbing considering “your” is used improperly in the contract lol

It's not only that people accept it, it's that the writers move heavens and earth to make sure everything that should come back and bite her in the ass isn't, because she was right all along, so people comes crawling back to her and she can be smug about it. As I said in another thread, she doesn't have character flaws, because there's not a single instance where any part of her personality really effect her negatively. She doesn't need anyone else at all, except maybe row the boat for her, because that'd be beneath her.

You're joking, but I think you might be right, at least in a sense. If this really is an attack on culture by "progressives" then attempting to tear down characters that people love fits right in with their historical mode of operations.

Exactly :)

I agree but a simpler explanation is it is crap!

You just might be right. I know I'm rooting for Sauron. 🎉

would be funny if she goes full Handsome Jack at some point. I am the goddamn hero!

I disagree, GuyLadriel is a crap villain too. Think of the best villains, they are all charismatic and in many ways like-able. Darth Vader, Moriarty, Joker, Saruman, and if discount Aragorn really is Sauron, then great, I like him and want him to win!

@@etiennedevignolles7538 most of your villains aren't really charismatic..

@@svenlauke1190 We'll have to disagree. Which villains would you choose?

It's a reflection of the modern world unfortunately

Galadriel, we have to turn back! Galadriel: tatakae!

Exactly. It's for this exact reason I only can shake my head when they said that there is going to be character development for this character later on. Character development for an Elf that's been around since before there was light and how many millenia? Any character she has been set in stone after this time. Character development my ass.

@@WillTRikerNo1 The thing is, if they actually read The Silmarillion they'd realize that most of her "development" already happened in the First Age. She learned patience and magic under Maia Melian in Doriath, and spent much of her time trying to avoid the Curse of Mandos. She also wasn't violent, believing that she had done nothing wrong to avoid being cursed along with the other Noldor.

@@WillTRikerNo1 yeah, I agree. The writers have a hard time picturing how an immortal race should be... They made an interesting point with Elrond, that did not show up in 20 years to visit his friend, and failed to understand how could that affect their friendship. But even that clever point, they decided to make it with the only elf that knows a lot about mortality. Elrond the HALF ELF. That CHOSE immortality while his brother chose a mortal life. One may think that medieval fantasy is easy but... It is clearly more complex than what those showrunners are capable of handling. Elves feel just like regular people with pointy ears... Their appearance, their way of speaking, the decisions they make... Even their strength, so easily submitted by a bunch of orcs... I can see nothing magical, or mystical or misterious about those elves... They even grow old apparently in this show...

Bitter (the mix of two of the core emotions: anger and sadness) people are actually becoming more bitter with age because of evolving disappointment. Bitter individuals often operate from a blaming and non-empathic perspective.

I remember that installment in theaters 18- 19 years ago. Powerful stuff.

There are things about those films, changes I feel are awful and atrocious, but they look like the bloody Gospel, compared to how bad I know see it can get in an "adaptation"....

@@wolfmauler Still a work of art. Even peter regrets some of the decisions he made like faramir and denethors characters traits and the ghost army at minus tirith. Still it still a work of art in comparison 😊👍

That's how Shelob was created.

Philhelm for the slam dunk! BA ha ha ha ha ha!

"Agh! She took my finger off!" -- Frodo

She'd be able to use it to crush Isengard, Saurman, Mordor and Sauron no bother. Hell, she'll even keep it on her afterwards with no ill effects. Because she won't let anyone else tell HER what to do. Not even malevolent, sentient jewellery gets to order HER around!

@@harbl99 Nice one!

He's too "advanced" 🤣🤣 He also told her that he would not be always around....like....what the hell will possibly happen to you in the Blessed Realms bro?

Oh yeah. Also don’t forget in Valinor they ‘knew only peace’ and ‘did not know death’, yet Finrod says he won’t always be around (why?), Galadriel has dark thoughts, kids bully each other and Galadriel beats kids up. So ‘peaceful’. And also, they quote about the starts reflecting sounded very familiar to me.. ‘You mistake stars reflected in a pond for the night sky’ Is a quote from The Witcher books, said by Vilgefortz. The bad guy.

Too an advanced concept for you? The ability to distinguish between good and evil sometimes needs trial and error. The show clearly wants to avoid oversimplified black&white. You see this in Galadriel, you see this with Numenor, the halflings, it is a core aspect of every part of the show.

Actually, you cant be a good person until you've experienced evil. Only when faced with evil can you test your resolve.

@@falkenherz1708 which is bullshit. This is not game of thrones. Also as the previous poster said they were in valinor, which is elf heaven. There is no contrast or shouldn't be. The dialogues are shit.

im simping for Sauron!

Ouch 🤣, probably need an orc spin-off

Tbh, they are part of the problem. As they are destroying the good characterd they make us cheer for the bad ones by making adar sad about them.

Me too. I'm beyond hate watching now, I accepted that Sauron is the good guy here and Guyladriel is not. With this premise the show becomes watchable random fantasy. Maybe the message of the show is "Sauron was right. The Empire was right. The First Order did nothing wrong. Horus was Right. Romulans are the good guys. Obey your overlords. " because that's what I get from it.

The orcs are not bad, they're just misunderstood. Like Mick Jagger. Let's have some symphathy for the devil.

Yep. She's a textbook case of a malignant narcissist, and Amazon expects us to believe she somehow undergoes character growth and becomes the Galadriel we see in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy? Yeah, nah. I've had narcissists like RoP "Galadriel" in my life. They dont change. They're fundamentally *incapable* of change

That's why we shouldn't call her "Galadriel" anymore. She's not Galadriel. She's a fake one or an imposter or Sauron in disguise... whatever. She's no Galadriel and I don't care about her "character arc" in this show. Call her Karen, Guyladriel, Xenadriel or Mary Sue. It takes good writing to "fix" her character and so far, the writing ain't good.

They'll try to pass us the "she was horrible before but after character deVeloPmeNt she's now turned into the LotR Galadriel" It will be so cringe when they try to pull that shit off, I'm sure of it

@@Johnny12575 It's cringe because we all knew they are heavily relying on the fact that people watched Cate Blanchett's Galadriel and knew that this Guyladriel must have changed from this to that. Ugh. It's lazy because they made her so unrecognizable and so unlikeable that I don't care about the "character development" she'll take. This is no telling of Second Age Middle Earth afterall. Just a generic fantasy show. Tolkien already wrote her character arc beautifully.

@@BroadwayRonMexico I'm very seriously thinking of making a meme based on that "you have not seen what I have seen" line showing what Elrond went through and how ridiculous it is to expect a character like her to be carried only by fan sympathy because she lost soneone. The thing is, for most of us, that sympathy only goes so far. Yeah, she lost her brother. That works to a point, but not when she's plunged an entire country into a needless war to serve her own petty lust for vengeance. Not when she's inflicting that pain on countless hundreds or thousands of others for the sake of her own vanity.
