The Genius of Galadriel
Фильм және анимация
Galadriel is the most perfect character in the history of film and television. Here's how Amazon's The Rings of Power forged the one genius to rule them all.

Has anyone considered that Sauron became Sauron out of sheer frustration from living with Galadriel for a few months? Thanks Galadriel.

I whole heartedly believe Sauron was on his way to Valinor to turn himself in, then he was afflicted by Galadriel and just dragged along until he figured he'd save the elves and maybe she'd let him go, so he did and she tried to kill him, and the at that point he realized that if he went back, she'd follow and everyone in Valinor would have to suffer her for eternity and so he made the ultimate sacrifice and decided to become the Dark Lord to make her stay in exile. Sauron, the true hero of Middle Earth.

That moment when Galadriel said "Where was Tolkien when we wrote the script?" was really inspiring.
You forgot to mention when Halbrand was saving her from the water, he dived down and was pulling an unconscious Galadriel to the surface but the the writers were like no this will lower her girl power levels so she miraculously wakes up from almost drowning, gets on the boat first somehow then helps him up to keep her superiority.

There's so many TV shows and movies nowadays that have the same holes in them like when the characters have world breaking abilities for no reason, or they don't have an ability again that they had once that saved the day but came about unexplained, characters forgetting that they said something in an earlier episode that contradicts what they say later. Or how unnatural characters act, getting hysterical over nothing, preaching political lies, or being completely backwards etc.

The worst part to me is that not only have they destroyed her character by making her things she isn't, but they've also stripped her of one of her greatest abilities. The ability to see through deceptions and illusions. Galadriel was the first to see through Anatar and perceive his true identity, but Saurbrand has completely escaped her detection. Awesome...

Yes, the problem is not that they made this one too perfect. They made her not perfect enough (actually not perfect at all... for an Elf). Probably fearing that the audience wouldn't be able to accept a character with all possible virtues and hardly any ligt-grey spot of pride. They should have taken the risk!
By this time, she's supposed to be several thousand years old, married and a queen with a child. A person full of majesty and power, a powerful sorceress who's both wise and kind. She's not some bratty ass mary sue who's cocky as hell, makes terrible decisions every three seconds, and flails a sword around like a headless fucking chicken. Like goddamn, they actually nerfed the hell out of her while simultaneously destroying her entire character.

Its a double uno reverse tactic, they made it so it reflects how a strong and indepented woman is in this century and reflects our world, because they wanted to show strong female woke character, but in reality are just trying to hide the true power galadriel actualy has in the REAL original story where she is far stronger, wiser and better in every way than any female from our world could ever be.

Well, you have to remember that in RoP, Middle Earth is TINY. Either that or they've given Galadriel the ability to warp time and space around herself. How else did she travel, on foot, from the frozen north back to Eregion (a trip of about 800 miles) in just a couple days? How else did she sail from Middle Earth to Valinor (around 1500 miles) in just a couple days? How else did she enable the Numenorians to sail from Numenor to the southlands (about 1000 miles) in two days? When she jumped into the sea, none of the other elves were concerned because they figured she'd just warp space again and allow herself to swim back to Middle Earth in an hour or two.

Galadriel just staying still overlooking her army from a distance is far more inspirational than any speech Aragorn have ever said. Truly a galagestic leader.

She is a Queen! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All of us love her and despair!

I just had a thought. What if the real Galadriel is in a dungeon somewhere and Sauron has been masquerading as her this whole time. Would make more sense and be hilarious!

The writing process is to check boxes and make the story fit. Then these writers go with the first idea they get because they don't know where ideas come from and are afraid they won't get another one. Then to make things super easy for them they ignore time and space. This is known as the J.J. Abrams school of writing.

JJ Abrams spent ten years training the showrunners of RoP. And during that time, they never received a single credit on a single show or film.
God I love sarcasm when it hits well and Rings of Power is the perfect target.
That scene where Galadriel took on a hailstorm of arrows, ballista bolts and trebuchet fireballs and came out with little more than a paper cut was good, but what made it perfect was the elf who told her she was bleeding, and GaLaDrIEl replied with ‘I ain’t got time to bleed’.

Pyroclastic flow is between 800 and 2000 degrees. It doesn't burn you. It vaporizes you. Contrast that with regular fire at around 500 degrees or dragon fire (assuming some kind of alcohol or similar) at potentially between 300 and 600 degrees or so. If she could survive pyroclastic flow head-on, even Smaug's most halitosis-laden belching would be little more concerning than a balmy day at the beach for her. Mary who?

You are incorrect. Galadriel is plot's armor.
Galadriel is insanely perfect, especially for the niece of Faenor. In fact, she's written to be so beautiful, so powerful, so magical by Tolkien that she works best as a periphery character and not at all like a lead character. To make Galadriel a believable main character, one has to endow her with a bunch of qualities and traits Galadriel does not have. To make Galadriel a main character is to always invite power-characters, 'mary-sueing,' so on and so forth, because characters as powerful as Galadriel are meant to serve as allies, counsel, or an obstacle to a hero's journey: Not BE the hero of a journey. ANY focus on Galadriel is bound to be a failure by the very design of the character by Tolkien and their purpose in the overall narrative.

You've hit it right on the head. Galadriel was always meant to be the mythological 'Goddess' that renders aid and wisdom to the Hero. It's integral to who she is. You just can't make that into a main character without completely altering it. It just doesn't work.

68% of the audience for "House of the Dragon," the "Game of Thrones" prequel, is concentrated in the 18-49 age group, according to Nielsen. But "The Rings of Power" is struggling to attract younger viewers. It leans older, with 71% of its audience over 35 years of age. A quick look at TikTok shows that the "#TheRingsofPower" hashtag has 619 million views as of Friday, while the "#HouseoftheDragon" hashtag has 5.1 billion views. The funny thing in this comparison is that we are comparing a family show with a show strictly for adults. The main problem with Rings of Power is that writers had no clue what they were writing and who the show was for.
I've not seen one episode of RoP, but I've enjoyed all the critical videos... 1 billion well spent, as far as I'm concerned.
I genuinely feel for Morfydd Clark, an absolute dream part which sadly she doesn't seem to be able to fill, too young to challenge the script writers, having to deliver her lines totally dead pan, is it her choice or is that the direction, don't know but its going to be hard for her recover from this disaster.
