after thats done they going to mount some of these

It's ironic, because you're repeating almost word for word the actor's defense of the character. I don't read "right wing talking points" on Lord of the Rings because I've read Tolkien's work in its entirety. I'd recommend you do the same, it's a good read, or you can continue to listen to "lore channels" busy simping for one side of an inane political debate.

Galadriel (Silmarillion) left with the second group of Noldor and came to Middle Earth via the northern ice passages after Feanor burned the stolen boats. You're referencing a letter in the Unfinished Tales where Christopher Tolkien discusses whether or not his father intended to rewrite parts of Galadriel's backstory, and have her come to Middle Earth via an alternate route. It wasn't a fleshed out narrative, and would have required significant rework of large chunks of the story. As the only person who could rework it was dead, the completed narrative was published as was in the Silmarillion.

But this is all an aside, whether or not Galadriel participated in the rape of Alqualonde or fought against it has nothing to do with whether it's ridiculous for a nonexistent "young" Galadriel to be wandering around Middle Earth clad in armor fighting baddies. It's a humiliating retcon for a character that is a powerful and dominant figure in her own right. Rather than getting roped into gender debates, just consider that the show writers are orders of magnitude less talented than Tolkien, and the quality of the show is therefore somewhere between bad fanfiction, and very bad fanfiction. But if you liked seasons 7 and 8 of GOT, then by all means, keep watching. You don't have taste, but if that didn't stop you before, it won't now.

Funny how the actor would use facts about the material to defend the interpretion of the character. I didn't even know she wrote one, but the fact that it sounds like I'm repeating it word for word just shows how cut and dry this is.

You aren't fooling anybody lol. You just walked in to say "go woke go broke. strong woman bad. Ha you sound like thing I was told is bad"

Maybe your brain has rotted from consuming so much right wing trash that you've synchronized with it, which is actually worse than if you were just repeating the talking points like you usually do.

This is a dodge. Post the text (you might have to read the book first!) or you may have to give up. If you want to be an "expert" on any given topic, there's unfortunately some work you need to put in first.

Galadriel is a strong character, as I've said for 3 straight posts now. If you can't be bothered to read, I'm not sure why you're on this board in the first place. Trying to farm reddit karma might be just the thing for you.

find that amusing. the hobbit dude kinda looks like prince. wonder what the music would be like?

that user claims to not like high fantasy yet, surprise surprise, got a high fantasy character’s backstory all wrong

said user pretends to be knowledgeable about a great many things yet never seems to actually possess any correct knowledge or skills that would prove it in the affirmative

inb4 that user’s typical repressed frustrated homophobic retort

galadriel as a warrior simping is silly.

the show is ok thusfar, many of the changes are stupid, some are fine, others even are great.

but its not at all accurate to tolkien's works. thats fine, but that's a fact.

irony.
