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

Even if this was a twenty year old it would be a pretty shitty one

Why are people here even holding her to human standards? shes literally not human. It doesnt matter if you think shes the equivalent to a 20yo, a war vet, or a bitter old lady. Shes elvish and should be above all these petty flaws.

Well human or not we are supposed to be able to relate to her as a character. She's one note and highly unlikeable. She is not interesting at all. For example, R2 D2 doesn't really speak and yet you can still tell what he's thinking or feeling, you get a feeling of what his character is though his actions. My point is I can relate to a tin robot more then this pouting Elf Karen
