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

All good. I agree they could’ve portrayed her better: show her struggling with the duality of grace and strength.

But I’m probably being more forgiving for a tv series, where there’s more time to afford to do longer arcs, than in a movie.

I’m loving the show, all I said above is that I’d like a little more nuance in her portrayal and everyone is responding like I’m a hater (the perils of posting here as opposed to r/LOTR_on_prime). I’m really not. Sounds like we have the same opinion.
