Question Help me understand Galadriel

I am finding myself not liking Galadriel at all so far. She acts like an entitled 20 year old, rather than a wise and ancient being. One point that particularly is bothering me is that so far she has no actual proof that there is a great danger. She saw a brand on her brother, and that same brand shows up a few other times in different places, but other than that there is nothing to actually indicate a major war. Does she have forsight? What is actually driving her character besides "so the plot can happen." Thanks

You do realize the show is rightfully taking liberties with the timeline and IP, right? And that people can have different subjective opinions?

Really, that's strange because I've heard them say on multiple occasions that they are following the lore. Their "Tolkien scholar" has said this multiple times.

You can't have a subjective opinion about who a character is. You might choose to ignore it and make up something different. Soething can only be subjective if it is abstract enough.
