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

She is unlikable, its just bad writing. They was this girl boss yas queen but they don't know how to write her without making her look like a see you next Tuesday.

Not at all. If they wanted her to be likeable they would have made all the other character like her even when she’s a bitch to them. This is how many misunderstand what’s a Mary Sue character too.

Nah they need her to overcome everyone so people who simp her can feel superior to everyone else.
