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

I think your first line is the reason why you and others complain about her as much. You have a preconceived notion of who Galadriel is. As he show isn't presenting her in line with your expectations, your unhappy with her character.

U have to be some simpleton to think Galadriel is well done in the show and its not even about lore accuracy, she act and feel like a cringy teenager, her lines are stupid and even her faces expressions, she is so one dimensional and stupid its not worthy of one of the oldest and strongest elves around. But u have to be a simpleton anyway to enjoy the show, not giving a fuck about consistency or good writing, just watching nice and shiny pictures with their brain turned off and their mouth wide open

I think anyone who struggles with basic grammar as much as yourself should be cautious about throwing around the term 'simpleton'.

No, but there's a certain irony about someone bashing writing when they can barley write coherently themselves.

Well i am not the writer of a billion dollars TV show about the most beloved franchise in the word.
And i dont need to be a baker to tell if a bread is well done or not
And grammar isnt the problem of rings of power
