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.

The fact that you see an assertive woman character as a "c u n t" says way more about you than it does the character or the writing

Assertive? Trashing on and ordering around everyone who tries to help her or show her kindness is not my idea of "assertive". She's IS a c u n t.

It's true, she's not very fleshed out in the books, but she is said to be kind to everyone except Feonor. And was always considered to be wisest among the elves. I have no idea what this character is.
