@@Skylochehow much did amazon pay you to write this lmao? If you know even a little bit of Tolkien lore this show should piss you off. Absolutely shameless money grab written by people who could not care less about the source material making a show for people who know nothing about middle earth.
Imagine dwarves and hobbits, let alone men, being awed by the sight of her. Imagine orcs, let alone Maiar, being intimidated by her. This “version” of Galadriel is unspeakably pathetic.
She is stunningly beautiful, what are you on? She has one of the best raw beauties I have ever seen. I cannot understand how you made this series political lmfao
Eowyn's casting in LOTR shows a regal and strong woman who had so much depth and character. She could restrain and control herself as a Leader, Lady, and when needed, a fierce warrior! This ability to self govern is vital for men and women alike but our culture wants us to be accepted as we are.... "How you are" might just suck like the Woke of the Rings Karen-riel and that SHALL NOT PASS! Eowyn was the coolest woman in the LOTR series and they only thing she couldn't do was cook a good stew!
What I liked about Eowyn was that she wasn't unreasonable and impulsive. Yes, she wanted to fight alongside other soldiers and be free of the shackles of womanhood. But she also knew when to step back. In Helm's Deep she wanted to fight until she was told that she had to guide and protect the women and children. She did because it was her responsibility. Her sense of duty for those who were too weak and helpless to protect themselves was much stronger than her desire to fight in a war.
These days woman character often represented as a person who want to be more superior than men, with no weakness and emotionless. Eowyn and many other female character in lotr is an example of how good woman warrior character should be
@@ChadHuey79 that's the direction these screenwriters are taking it sure but canonically she would never have acted this way.... Even in the beginning of the first age all her acts are ones that show wisdom, also she's 3000-5000 years old by the shows time (hard to say with all the time compression), hard to suspend my disbelief that she would still act like an unlikeable 16 year old girl .... I guess what's so annoying is, if they are going to take beloved characters and change them so much that they are unrecognizable AND unlikeable just spare the fans and create your own shitty original character for the show, instead of galadriel they could have used maladriel, her distant cousin
@@ChadHuey79 she's several thousands of years old by now. check her actual wiki for what she was really like at this age and you'll see how badly they've done her
Not only does she not look like Galadriel. She doesn’t look like a elf. She just looks like a blonde white woman. If we were to put her in normal cloths she would just look like anyone else. She doesn’t stick out. Look at the elf’s and dwarves of the original lord of the rings. They are noticeable. The stick out to the point you can see their main characteristics. The original actor who played Galadriel also stuck out as well. She was beautiful, and almost mystical looking.
Exactly. Ngila Dickson was the OG costume designer for LOTR and she took great care and detail to make sure all the different races of Middle Earth had clear, distinct, and unique visual cues in their costumes to make them easily identifiable without even knowing their name or where they were from. That’s one thing that’s missing from this show. That attention to detail and those conscious design decisions for not only just the costumes, but the overall production and writing of the show.
@@AndromedaCeline very good point about the complete lack of world immersion on this show. It relies on the audience just accepting that “this is middle earth and remember everything the previous movies set up, well just think of that” without the production team actually doing the work to create or world build.
A note on the last part; finally! That is the problem when Hollywood tries to make a strong female protagonist. In order to be strong they often write them as men, which was not the point of female characters. Quite frankly, femininity can be a great aspect on making male characters as well; empathy, patience, caring for others, as well as bravery and assertiveness. Male characters have this problem too where they are full blown masculine they are basically walking tropes, strong, tough, no emotions, attack things head on, mehhh it's not great representation despite it being a fantasy or Sci fi, even an action movie. People are not one dimensional. There is a mix of both feminine and masculine in everyone, which for some reason many writers can't seem or don't want to show. Now, with women starving for a strong female character, writers goof up again by making a woman character into a man. "You want a strong woman? OK, so she f8ghts with swords, she tells people what to do, she doesn't listen to no one because she knows she's right, and she goes head on in every problem without a second thought." Great, you just made a character to be like my ass hole boss, and now she's going around thinking she is the hero. Ugh.
Ironically Aragon had way more feminity traits than this Galadriel And that's when he fully embrace his femine parts he became a king Not because he could fight, but because he showed empathy,pietas,and healing nurture
@@rhythmicmusicswap4173 he was even seen as the king who would bring healing. Which is usually seen as the feminine trait, but here he is a man fully willing and able to bring people to good health. It was actually quite nice.
Tolkien wrote that in her early years in Valinor, she was very athletic and she did briefly fight against Fëanor, during the Kin Slaying, but no she had no interest in being a warrior, she also shouldn't be hunting Sauron given that Finrod is literally alive and waiting for her to come home to the undying lands which she literally passed up on, even though she was also banned from going back from there, this show just sucks
thats not the point, its useless to use the lore to debate the show since it was clear that they wouldn't follow it from the get-go. Its just bad writing and the writers have no skill, done, simple. Even if they follow the lore, it would not be good.
@@TheMinhthe It's no point in comparing the Silmarillion to the bible, which I didn't I simply stated that Tolkien wrote that Galadriel could indeed scrap, I didn't come on here and bash the gentleman that made the video. I addressed a point the brother made, while also agreeing that yes the show does indeed suck, the showrunners speak to reasons why certain characters behave differently, or why we haven't seen certain things transpire, thats the reason why the brother made this great video. Although I am not a Tolkien Scholar, I nitpicked my favorite movie out of the trilogy, Christopher along with most scholars hate the movie
@@kongsied4279 oh i didnt try to make a big fuzz about it. I just want to say the show doesnt deserve to be talked high and mighty about as if it challenge ur intelligent. Its just fundementally bad as a story even before it could be bad as an adaptation.
The part when she fights Feanor (his army, not himself) was an early writing of Tolkien that he changes many times. Also fighting one time in a civil massacre doesn't make you the great warrior of the North recognize by everyone like portrayed in the show. One of Galadriel main trait was that she hates War and the violence which come with, and that the kinslaying she witnessed (having fight or no) kind of shock her and she turn to other way (toward Melian) in answer...
@@exelos91 I should have been more clear and I wasn't trying to imply that she faced Fëanor 1 v 1 she would have gotten murdered, while my dad tried to get me to read this book 30/years, ago it was way too difficult, I did revisit it after Peter Jacksons Trilogy, which was two years after I graduated from high school, it was my dad who I won't call a " Tolkien " Scholar, but the dude was obsessed with this story. Now beside me, possibly swearing that I read it was Christopher, not his who made these changes, that being one of them if that was indeed the case, she most certainly not went to middle earth to rule, but also to thrawt Fëanor, now does not mean she would be stupid enough to do so, not necessarily but it's not outside of the realm of possibility, I cannot think of gentlemen's name, he's a bit a of a shill for this show, but Tolkien describing Galadriel in her youth, he athletic build, there was something, I can't recall the quote, but it most certainly implied that she could hold her own against your average elder. What does her hating war have anything to do, with her possibly still trying to face Fëanor for slaying her kin on her mother's side, she hates this probably as much as loathes Morgoth or Sauron, yes she hates war, that's Galadriel I wanted see, I wasn't making a case for her doing what she does in this show, but if this show made in time different from now, lets say during Peter Jacksons was given permission or access to the Silmarillion, with what we've heard Galadriel can do, cleaning Dol Guldur, joining the white council the white council in the first assault against Sauron, when he wasn't ready to reveal himself, if luthean " yes far more powerful than Galadriel " if she can dodge an attack from possibly the most powerful Maia, hit this dude with a sleeping spell, and Galadriel a Noldor and believe half Telari, both faction who saw the light of Valinor, I'm quite sure she could hold her own if she had to " It's just like Odin once said and I am paraphrasing , a wize, King must never get excited for war, but must always be ready for it " she went to middle earth knowing shit was going to be real, she would literally walk with celeborn to Moria, yes I'm aware that her daughter so and was kidnapped by orcs, that ain't happening to no damn Galadriel. She's far superior to this imposter from this horrible show, but seeing Kate Blanchent wield a sword, would have been badass, a lot of the scholars did not like the scene five armies where she vaporizes the Gunder Bard Orc " sorry for my spelling I'm driving " but that scene was badass to a lot of hard core Tolkien fans as well. Again I didn't make that comment to discredit this brother, if you accuse me spitballing or head canon, I will understand, but I am by no means defending this show or her depiction
Hey don’t you disrespect her by mispronouncing her name it’s Guyladriel commander of the Northern Armies loyal to Marcus Aurelius and a loving husband to Celeborn. 🥴
more like "Grrrr-ladriel" since she's oddly fierce. Morfydd Clark looks mostly the part of an Elf (Tolkien describes Galadriel as 6 ft 4) but her character badly written and the dialogue is horb.
It's sad how much they butchered this character, like you said, Eowyn is a perfect example of a strong female character and they fucked it all up with having Galadriel be woke.
I didn’t like the show for two reasons 1 they butchered it and 2 if I remember correctly there’s no way Elrond could have been about the same age as Galadriel as he married her daughter celebrian. Yes elves age slowly but still Elrond should have been a young child a baby at that if I’m not mistaken. I may be wrong
How is she "woke"? I dont understand why she's being called that. To be honest all these men commenting on a female lead is more annoying than the show.
@@pluckybellhop66 And notice how I didn't say Eowyn was woke, it's because she's not someone trying to look cool for the camera and is actively trying to save others possibly at the cost of her own life, that makes a relatable character. TROP's Galadriel almost left a fellow elf behind simply because he fell behind and even when the other elves tried to convince her to stop she basically told them to go fuck themselves since they were trying to do the sensible thing and protect each other. But no, since Galadriel is the main character of the show she doesn't have to deal with consequences or the few she does can easily be side stepped by solutions that she basically drops on others and she just goes on here merry way and demands shit from others and gets upset once they deny her request even though they have no obligation to help her.
Yes! The beauty of Tolkiens female characters is their confidence and strength in femininity. No need to make them strong fighters it’s unnecessary when they can command a room with just their presence.
Yes I have . Including the early drafts written in the 1920s. There were also no black elves or hobbits. No transgender dwarves. This is why its bombing so badly. Real fans of any story, want absolutely nothing to do with woke bullshit.
She’s an iconic character, all elves are. They are not story arc characters. This coulda been done so well over time, making you feel their lives and losses. Instead they turned a 1000+ yr old elf into a petulant child, who has some growing up to do. It’s absurd. Absolutely insane to use her this way. She is not meant to be the character humans relate with, but admire and gasp in awe.
#4 is beautiful. I’ve said that so many times on many shows about cops or FBI they often have all the worst masculine traits in their “badass female” and she’s unlikeable to the viewers and usually removed. (Elle Criminal Minds, Gabby Chicago Fire) Plus literally Galadriel here has Sauron’s fatal flaw, his ego that he is untouchable
A woman, as Eowyn declares before killing the Witch King, is "no man." These ridiculous female characters the entertainment industry routinely serves up now are ludicrous parodies of the feminine.
@@ppratap1536 It's good that you express an opinion contrary to the video and the commentary. However, the objection is not to portrayals of strong female characters. It is that the character is a woman behaving as a man. Tolkien's Galadriel is strong - stronger than the Galadriel created in this series - but the original Galadriel remains a woman. "Onwards"? To what destination? I thought this was a story. Are we on a crusade?
The show is just garbage all around. Even without taking into account all the lore fuck ups and destructions, the show in and of itself is just bad. Its boring, it's not enticing, the dialogue is corny, repetitive, and downright bad, and they explain literally EVERYTHING to the viewer. This show missed the mark by a very large margin on the technique of "show don't tell" in filmmaking. Now compare it to HOtD, which had a SMALLER budget and less production time and it's not even close. No contest the HBO show crushes the Amazon show in every category. And that's BEFORE you go into the total and horrific character deconstruction of all the major Tolkien characters and the God awful original characters they put in for "diversity" sake. It's a struggle to get through an episode of this show and I have no interest in watching further episodes whereas with HOtD, the time flies by while watching, I anticipate and am excited for the episodes each week, and it sucks me in from the very start of the episode all the way until the end.
Completely agree with what you said. Show is bad on many different levels. I tried to separate it from Tolkien and watch it as a general fantasy series and its still terrible. HOTD on the other hand is great im also thoroughly enjoying it.
Sexism exists, and an example is making female characters in media, men. In the west, femininity is being dismantled, while male masculinity is also being dismantled.
Galadriel got class. Charisma. A wise look due to her elfic abilities. Also powerfully and feminine. The one in the show it's just estoic and nothing else. It's like been looking a a stick with a nail .
worst casting decision of all time. No offense to the actress, but she doesn't look like an Inteligent and deep/mystical person. Kat Blanchet does, and is,,, Casting an annoying plan Jan is not right for Galadriel.
Yes during that dialogue with Adar, I thought Adar made a lot more sense. It just goes to show how bad the writing is when the villain seem more reasonable then the main protagonist.
What do you mean when you call her essentially a man? As a woman, I feel she's relatable as a woman, I get her. This is such a strange point you make, can you explain what qualities you see in her that "make her a man"?
Galadriel was a prime example of how to write a powerful woman while keeping her femininity. But no they went with the "strong female characters can only be women who exhibit classically masculine attributes" trope. Its like they saw that one clip of her showing how the ring would influence her and said "yes, thats her". Gwendoline Christie would have been a better casting imo.
Lol she was a warrior she fought alongside celeborn during the assault on Noldor. I can’t believe so many people are mad just cuz they gave her a military promotion to commander. Because that’s the only difference between the traits of her character and the books. Her entire arc is setting up the idea of letting this burden go and there’s nothing that is indicating she willl not become the wise fair figure we see in cate blanchett. And cmon insulting her looks really dude😂? Morfydd Clarke is just as beautiful as Cate Blanchett. Having her be a serious character that commands armies doesn’t make her masculine…is this you saying that because she doesn’t bow out of the way and let the men save the day in the end that shes not feminine enough 😂 I sympathize with fans cuz yes they made some alterations to the source material given the fact the Tolkien estate sold them 100 pages of the story. Being disappointed that you didn’t get your dream story is fine, but this is a more sexist criticism than a story evaluation
She doesn’t feel like lady galadriel to me. The way she moves. The way she speaks. The way she looks. None of it is Lady Galadriel. She should be radiant, ethereal beauty and move with such grace and mystery and speak in riddles. This new galadriel is just a human with pointy ears.
I don’t have any problem with a female character that has masculine traits the same goes with a male character that has feminine traits, I like the idea of breaking certain mindsets and stigmas, like strong men is masculine and female is kind and feminine etc. But the problem is that they changed a character that is known for being feminine and strong and they should have kept her like that that’s how people remembered her. I can also understand that people have become tired of the masculine female strong character and wish to see more from the feminine strong character but I don’t despise any of them.
I do agree though I hate the TREND to make female characters masculine because that's seems to be the only way people conceive strength, like if a feminine woman will be weak or stupid by default. So I love characters that doesn't fit in gender roles but that trend only perpetuates them. Legolas it has a lot of feminine traits without falling in that.
I hate how they ruined Galadriel. She’s angry all the time, vindictive, and petty. She is the bad guy in Rings of Power. The producers and director ruined her character for political reasons. I don’t consume entertainment to be lectured about political problems.
People have to nerve to call people sexist because They don’t like “strong” women I can’t speak for everyone but my favourite favourite people in fiction are mostly consisting of badass women for example here Eowyn and Galadriel (LOTR/Hobbit) People aren’t Misogynistic they just don’t like bad writing
one of things they missed that is Galadriel was part of rebellion that left Valinor for middle Earth in order to find jewels and to establish her empire. it would have been a better reason then just simply to find sauron.
I agree with everything except the feminine and masculine remark ,since i don't understand what's the difference between the two ,for me it's just the physical difference since mentally we are basically the same both men and women are intelligent,brave,independent..etc so i don't understand
Watch my long form video on Eowyn. It explores that idea further. Its about more than who is fighting, who has the swords, because Eowyn is feminine AND fights. She is the active feminine strength. Give it a watch. Its a much longer video, but the idea requires time to explain fully.
You know something is extremely wrong with the show when the fans hate GALADRIEL....which was so much popular in the LOTR and Hobbit. (I dont watch that show, i hear it from many friends and other viewers on internets)
#1 reason being : The LORE! Tolkien never, in not one of his many revisions to the narrative of Galadriel, did he write that while sailing back to Aman, she jumped off the boat in the middle of the ocean, and then was saved by Sauron.... This show spits in the face of Tolkien's actual words. The stories he wrote are fine as is, and these attempts to modernize and revise them are actually a detriment. Any real fan of the actual lore knows this. I suggest they read "Concerning Galadriel and Celeborn" chapter in Unfunished Tales. C. Tolkien does a wonderful job putting together all the different notes and revisions that his father did on these two characters. (For example: did you know that in some of the last writings and revisions that Tolkien did on Middle Earth was a narrative revision where he had Galadriel and Celeborn sailing to ME before Feanor!) Definitely a must-read for anyone approaching this subject, and the fact that these show writers chose a narrative completely devoid and so out of touch with Tolkien's work, it verges on propaganda. How else can you explain their ignoring of the source material in favor of modern politically motivated choices?
Most women do that in a mortal life, she's 1000s of years old she should of gone through all her phases by the time she was 100 lol. She's just an unlikeable bitch.
Guyladriel act like a pubescent teenager without any manners! Middle Earth looks like a Fanfiction story where lots of super power girls lead and fight for the weak men...
First of all, we don’t know much about her past ,she lived hundreds of hundreds of years. People can change in our short lives, let alone people who can live hundreds upon hundreds of years.
she was a warrior. what complete dope made this review? Zero clue about her history as Noldor. She’s an eddington badass in Tolkien and if i have a gripe, she should be more like Brienne of Tarth. She was 6’3 in tolkien and the most powerful warrior/being in Middle Earth
Wokeness has literally ruined all good ideas. They try to promote feminism by making Galadriel look so big and tough by making all the men appear so weak. She HAS to be more athletic, stronger, a better fighter, more cunning. And of course, don't forget that she can never be wrong. Oh yeah, and she has no remorse. They've created a fantasy world of the most unrelatable characters.
In lotr, she's about 4,500 years older, which can be masked as character development, in RoP I kinda see her as a reckless young elf who's always in the wrong place at the wrong time
Honestly I was shocked when I saw the galadriel from Lotr and compared it to this, ngl the actress did a good job, not too good but still pretty cool, there are parts where it seems off, she's a good character without knowing what her character was supposed to be, the scripted ruined it for me.
I don't necessarily think that Clark is a bad actress, she just had to work with the script she was presented with and acted in the way she was directed. The plot was the main setback and the superimposed female leads was just too much.
I think she’s incredible. The hate I’m mostly seeing are coming from men who can’t relate to her and choose not to. She grows throughout the series and will continue to in the seasons to come.
Imo I think the reason is that she has a frown on her face all the time. It’s really hard to like a character, or any person in general, when all they exude is negative energy.
In the book she was seven feet tall. Funny how they wanted her to be a warrior but skipped on that lol. Also Galadriel in the show is bad because she never learns anything from her experiences. She just flips on a switch the last episode for no reason.
All these points are opinions and weird ones too. She WAS a warrior, what are you even on about. And she’s all the things you say she isn’t. This needs to stop cuz it’s getting embarrassing
Eowyn: The women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain. Aragorn: What do you fear, my lady? Eowyn: A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire. Galadriel in LOTR: The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. Galadriel in Rings of Power: yOu hAvE nOt sEeN wHaT i hAvE sEeN! 🥴🤪🤢🤮 sAuRoN wiLl dIe bEcAuSe oF mE!
There are very few actresses that could play elves. No actress has done a proper job. Cate Blanchett did a pretty good job but this role requires physical beauty that very few women have.
Good lord give her character some time to breath. It's a completely different age by the time TLOTR takes place which is over 1000 years, so maybe in that amount of time she had some... character development? Imagine that! I swear, people look for every reason to hate on this show when in reality it's not that bad. ESPECIALLY when you compare it to how starwars has been handled lately, Amazon has been very gentle in comparison 😂😭
I have only just seen this short, but I love your video explaining why Éowyn’s character worked well, and Guyladriel’s didn’t. I have recommended it and pasted the link for so many people in various comments sections when there are complaints about “strong, female characters“ like Rey made for a “modern audience“. That video really deserves millions of views, and should be required viewing for creative writers, film students, and Hollywood. Of course, they would freak out because it contains reality and religious references, but I’m willing to believe that there are people who are open minded enough to understand the message of your video. Thank you! 😍🙏🌸
C’mon guys it’s a series and the show is just beginning…. This is the story of her young age’ the end will justify the means! For me this series is the best of the year’ no cap 🧢
This show gives people hope! If you ever think in your life you did a bad job at something, just remember that Amazon did something worse with Rings of Powaaah.
….she was a warrior…she had no interest in being one though but Tolkien said she was on an Amazonian level but didn’t change the fact the show sucked lol
some people need to realise in this day and age that surprise surprise US FEMALES ARE FEMININE 💀 YES SOME PEOPLE MAY BE MORE MASCULINE IN OTHERS, BUT HONESTLY, MOST FEMALES HAVE A BIT OF FEMININE IN THERE. if you essentially make a female character with a man's personality, then that would create an unrealistic, uncomfortable character bcs it just wont work in making an actual strong female character. It would also be kinda sexist ish bcs like, you dont need women to have masculine traits to be leaders. That's essentially saying you need to be like a man to be a leader. oof
I have no issue with her.and I think the actress is doing just fine. Considering she is playing a character in the 2nd age, it makes sense she wouldn't be the same 3rd age elf Cate Blanchett played in the movies.
Who said we didn't like her,we lover her, she was clouded by her revenge for finrod and in season 2 she will change as shes made peace with finrod's death
1. Terrible show runners
2. Terrible writers
3. Bad cinematography / scene tones
4. Modern political nonsense
Integrate anything too deeply with politics, and it begins showing up garbage clichés. Thus, Tolkien's dislike of allegory.

What I liked about Eowyn was that she wasn't unreasonable and impulsive. Yes, she wanted to fight alongside other soldiers and be free of the shackles of womanhood. But she also knew when to step back. In Helm's Deep she wanted to fight until she was told that she had to guide and protect the women and children. She did because it was her responsibility. Her sense of duty for those who were too weak and helpless to protect themselves was much stronger than her desire to fight in a war.

The original Karen....
She comes off as a petulant child in most the episodes, rather than being the wisest elf in middle earth

She’s not the wisest elf yet though. She’s still young and somewhat inexperienced. This is her path to becoming the wisest elf later on in the future.

What do you mean? The actress is beyond beautiful! A true natural beauty and she looks so feminine
A note on the last part; finally!
That is the problem when Hollywood tries to make a strong female protagonist. In order to be strong they often write them as men, which was not the point of female characters.
Quite frankly, femininity can be a great aspect on making male characters as well; empathy, patience, caring for others, as well as bravery and assertiveness.
Male characters have this problem too where they are full blown masculine they are basically walking tropes, strong, tough, no emotions, attack things head on, mehhh it's not great representation despite it being a fantasy or Sci fi, even an action movie.
People are not one dimensional. There is a mix of both feminine and masculine in everyone, which for some reason many writers can't seem or don't want to show.
Now, with women starving for a strong female character, writers goof up again by making a woman character into a man.
"You want a strong woman? OK, so she f8ghts with swords, she tells people what to do, she doesn't listen to no one because she knows she's right, and she goes head on in every problem without a second thought." Great, you just made a character to be like my ass hole boss, and now she's going around thinking she is the hero. Ugh.
Ironically Aragon had way more feminity traits than this Galadriel
And that's when he fully embrace his femine parts he became a king
Not because he could fight, but because he showed empathy,pietas,and healing nurture
@@rhythmicmusicswap4173 he was even seen as the king who would bring healing. Which is usually seen as the feminine trait, but here he is a man fully willing and able to bring people to good health. It was actually quite nice.
Tolkien wrote that in her early years in Valinor, she was very athletic and she did briefly fight against Fëanor, during the Kin Slaying, but no she had no interest in being a warrior, she also shouldn't be hunting Sauron given that Finrod is literally alive and waiting for her to come home to the undying lands which she literally passed up on, even though she was also banned from going back from there, this show just sucks
thats not the point, its useless to use the lore to debate the show since it was clear that they wouldn't follow it from the get-go. Its just bad writing and the writers have no skill, done, simple. Even if they follow the lore, it would not be good.
@@TheMinhthe It's no point in comparing the Silmarillion to the bible, which I didn't I simply stated that Tolkien wrote that Galadriel could indeed scrap, I didn't come on here and bash the gentleman that made the video. I addressed a point the brother made, while also agreeing that yes the show does indeed suck, the showrunners speak to reasons why certain characters behave differently, or why we haven't seen certain things transpire, thats the reason why the brother made this great video. Although I am not a Tolkien Scholar, I nitpicked my favorite movie out of the trilogy, Christopher along with most scholars hate the movie
@@kongsied4279 oh i didnt try to make a big fuzz about it. I just want to say the show doesnt deserve to be talked high and mighty about as if it challenge ur intelligent. Its just fundementally bad as a story even before it could be bad as an adaptation.
The part when she fights Feanor (his army, not himself) was an early writing of Tolkien that he changes many times. Also fighting one time in a civil massacre doesn't make you the great warrior of the North recognize by everyone like portrayed in the show.
One of Galadriel main trait was that she hates War and the violence which come with, and that the kinslaying she witnessed (having fight or no) kind of shock her and she turn to other way (toward Melian) in answer...
@@exelos91 I should have been more clear and I wasn't trying to imply that she faced Fëanor 1 v 1 she would have gotten murdered, while my dad tried to get me to read this book 30/years, ago it was way too difficult, I did revisit it after Peter Jacksons Trilogy, which was two years after I graduated from high school, it was my dad who I won't call a " Tolkien " Scholar, but the dude was obsessed with this story. Now beside me, possibly swearing that I read it was Christopher, not his who made these changes, that being one of them if that was indeed the case, she most certainly not went to middle earth to rule, but also to thrawt Fëanor, now does not mean she would be stupid enough to do so, not necessarily but it's not outside of the realm of possibility, I cannot think of gentlemen's name, he's a bit a of a shill for this show, but Tolkien describing Galadriel in her youth, he athletic build, there was something, I can't recall the quote, but it most certainly implied that she could hold her own against your average elder. What does her hating war have anything to do, with her possibly still trying to face Fëanor for slaying her kin on her mother's side, she hates this probably as much as loathes Morgoth or Sauron, yes she hates war, that's Galadriel I wanted see, I wasn't making a case for her doing what she does in this show, but if this show made in time different from now, lets say during Peter Jacksons was given permission or access to the Silmarillion, with what we've heard Galadriel can do, cleaning Dol Guldur, joining the white council the white council in the first assault against Sauron, when he wasn't ready to reveal himself, if luthean " yes far more powerful than Galadriel " if she can dodge an attack from possibly the most powerful Maia, hit this dude with a sleeping spell, and Galadriel a Noldor and believe half Telari, both faction who saw the light of Valinor, I'm quite sure she could hold her own if she had to " It's just like Odin once said and I am paraphrasing , a wize, King must never get excited for war, but must always be ready for it " she went to middle earth knowing shit was going to be real, she would literally walk with celeborn to Moria, yes I'm aware that her daughter so and was kidnapped by orcs, that ain't happening to no damn Galadriel. She's far superior to this imposter from this horrible show, but seeing Kate Blanchent wield a sword, would have been badass, a lot of the scholars did not like the scene five armies where she vaporizes the Gunder Bard Orc " sorry for my spelling I'm driving " but that scene was badass to a lot of hard core Tolkien fans as well. Again I didn't make that comment to discredit this brother, if you accuse me spitballing or head canon, I will understand, but I am by no means defending this show or her depiction
😂 I guess Amazon made Galadriel looks like idiot, in order to show how smart Halbrand (Sauron) is…
I love the scene where Eowyn and Merry are shouting deeeath!!!
Hey don’t you disrespect her by mispronouncing her name it’s Guyladriel commander of the Northern Armies loyal to Marcus Aurelius and a loving husband to Celeborn. 🥴
I dead 🤣🤣🤣
more like "Grrrr-ladriel" since she's oddly fierce. Morfydd Clark looks mostly the part of an Elf (Tolkien describes Galadriel as 6 ft 4) but her character badly written and the dialogue is horb.
Lmaooo that's perfect I'm officially going to start going her character that for now on.
@@Defender78
Mighty Morfydd Power Elf?
Emily blunt in edge of tomorrow was a well written strong female character. That's how you do it.
Nah she was a bit too masculine.
@@trips347 but at least she was done right
Neytiri in avatar is a well strong female character too in my opinion. She's a warrior, but she also a kind and loving mother
Emily in Sicario was a strong female character. And Josh Brolin, Jon Bernthal and Benicio let her realize her limitations as a woman.
Love Eowyn! What a woman!
The only way to improve the Guyladriel character is to get a better actress and better scriptwriters and better story writers.
I’m not ready to blame the actress yet, as she’s doing the script.
@@davidtimus4026 she defends her character and proud about it. And blame the fans for not liking her character
A good actress can still make good with a bad script. She's not
this
No. The only way to improve is to cancel this atrocious series.
It's sad how much they butchered this character, like you said, Eowyn is a perfect example of a strong female character and they fucked it all up with having Galadriel be woke.
I didn’t like the show for two reasons 1 they butchered it and 2 if I remember correctly there’s no way Elrond could have been about the same age as Galadriel as he married her daughter celebrian. Yes elves age slowly but still Elrond should have been a young child a baby at that if I’m not mistaken. I may be wrong
How is she "woke"? I dont understand why she's being called that. To be honest all these men commenting on a female lead is more annoying than the show.
Being woke is how you not make a strong female character
@@pluckybellhop66 The reasons are clearly explained
@@pluckybellhop66 And notice how I didn't say Eowyn was woke, it's because she's not someone trying to look cool for the camera and is actively trying to save others possibly at the cost of her own life, that makes a relatable character. TROP's Galadriel almost left a fellow elf behind simply because he fell behind and even when the other elves tried to convince her to stop she basically told them to go fuck themselves since they were trying to do the sensible thing and protect each other. But no, since Galadriel is the main character of the show she doesn't have to deal with consequences or the few she does can easily be side stepped by solutions that she basically drops on others and she just goes on here merry way and demands shit from others and gets upset once they deny her request even though they have no obligation to help her.
Yes! The beauty of Tolkiens female characters is their confidence and strength in femininity. No need to make them strong fighters it’s unnecessary when they can command a room with just their presence.
I've read everything Tolkien ever wrote. There is not the vaguest hint that Galadrial ever touched a sword.
That's just straight up wrong.
Lol if you believe this no you haven’t
Yes I have . Including the early drafts written in the 1920s.
There were also no black elves or hobbits. No transgender dwarves. This is why its bombing so badly. Real fans of any story, want absolutely nothing to do with woke bullshit.
@@jeffpotipco736 What a bunch of BS! You clearly need to go back and reread Unfinished Tales.
@@Lunia2004 I did twice. You dont happen to have blue hair and 9 cats do you?
You’re not supposed to like her. They made that obvious. They’ve actually gone out of their way to make Adar a more sympathetic character.
I’m only a short way in, but isn’t Adar working with the Orcs???
No, we ARE supposed to like her. They hate anyone who disliked her personality.
Sauron is good
Papa Adar.
She’s an iconic character, all elves are. They are not story arc characters. This coulda been done so well over time, making you feel their lives and losses.
Instead they turned a 1000+ yr old elf into a petulant child, who has some growing up to do. It’s absurd. Absolutely insane to use her this way. She is not meant to be the character humans relate with, but admire and gasp in awe.
#4 is beautiful. I’ve said that so many times on many shows about cops or FBI they often have all the worst masculine traits in their “badass female” and she’s unlikeable to the viewers and usually removed. (Elle Criminal Minds, Gabby Chicago Fire) Plus literally Galadriel here has Sauron’s fatal flaw, his ego that he is untouchable
A woman, as Eowyn declares before killing the Witch King, is "no man." These ridiculous female characters the entertainment industry routinely serves up now are ludicrous parodies of the feminine.
Actually I love the portrayal of Galadriel. As a strong woman, glad to see that portrayed. Onwards
@@ppratap1536 It's good that you express an opinion contrary to the video and the commentary. However, the objection is not to portrayals of strong female characters. It is that the character is a woman behaving as a man. Tolkien's Galadriel is strong - stronger than the Galadriel created in this series - but the original Galadriel remains a woman. "Onwards"? To what destination? I thought this was a story. Are we on a crusade?
@@ppratap1536 dum dum
At first glance at "Galadriel", nah she's not Galadriel
The show is just garbage all around. Even without taking into account all the lore fuck ups and destructions, the show in and of itself is just bad. Its boring, it's not enticing, the dialogue is corny, repetitive, and downright bad, and they explain literally EVERYTHING to the viewer. This show missed the mark by a very large margin on the technique of "show don't tell" in filmmaking. Now compare it to HOtD, which had a SMALLER budget and less production time and it's not even close. No contest the HBO show crushes the Amazon show in every category. And that's BEFORE you go into the total and horrific character deconstruction of all the major Tolkien characters and the God awful original characters they put in for "diversity" sake. It's a struggle to get through an episode of this show and I have no interest in watching further episodes whereas with HOtD, the time flies by while watching, I anticipate and am excited for the episodes each week, and it sucks me in from the very start of the episode all the way until the end.
Completely agree with what you said. Show is bad on many different levels. I tried to separate it from Tolkien and watch it as a general fantasy series and its still terrible. HOTD on the other hand is great im also thoroughly enjoying it.
Both shows are mid to be honest
only thing boring is your comment, fell asleep half way through. I thought the series was great
@@jacobsummers1530 It's woke rubbish
@@tobiasj2455 he’s one of them..
Eowyn is amazing!!!!
Sexism exists, and an example is making female characters in media, men. In the west, femininity is being dismantled, while male masculinity is also being dismantled.
Because she is just an elf karen who wants to talk to the manager
Galadriel got class. Charisma. A wise look due to her elfic abilities. Also powerfully and feminine. The one in the show it's just estoic and nothing else. It's like been looking a a stick with a nail .
worst casting decision of all time. No offense to the actress, but she doesn't look like an Inteligent and deep/mystical person. Kat Blanchet does, and is,,, Casting an annoying plan Jan is not right for Galadriel.
Galadriel makes me root for Sauron. May Chaos Take The World!
Yes during that dialogue with Adar, I thought Adar made a lot more sense. It just goes to show how bad the writing is when the villain seem more reasonable then the main protagonist.
when your "hero" has your viewers rooting for a Devil allegory you've got a problem
Nailed it. Couldn't have said it better myself.
I’m genuinely sick of the negativity around the show
Well I’m sick of this show but it is what it is 😂
What do you mean when you call her essentially a man? As a woman, I feel she's relatable as a woman, I get her. This is such a strange point you make, can you explain what qualities you see in her that "make her a man"?
This toxic man's babies hate the all-powerful woman. They just want woman as a side character who looks sexy, hot, and feminine.
Galadriel was a prime example of how to write a powerful woman while keeping her femininity. But no they went with the "strong female characters can only be women who exhibit classically masculine attributes" trope.
Its like they saw that one clip of her showing how the ring would influence her and said "yes, thats her".
Gwendoline Christie would have been a better casting imo.
Mary Sue + Karen lol Rings Of Power is a comedy lol
How would a Mary Sue make huge mistakes like in TROP? Did you even watch it before trolling?
@@icknau5782 Yep. Mary Sue + Karen and (As you said) Very Dumb
Lol she was a warrior she fought alongside celeborn during the assault on Noldor. I can’t believe so many people are mad just cuz they gave her a military promotion to commander. Because that’s the only difference between the traits of her character and the books. Her entire arc is setting up the idea of letting this burden go and there’s nothing that is indicating she willl not become the wise fair figure we see in cate blanchett. And cmon insulting her looks really dude😂? Morfydd Clarke is just as beautiful as Cate Blanchett. Having her be a serious character that commands armies doesn’t make her masculine…is this you saying that because she doesn’t bow out of the way and let the men save the day in the end that shes not feminine enough 😂 I sympathize with fans cuz yes they made some alterations to the source material given the fact the Tolkien estate sold them 100 pages of the story. Being disappointed that you didn’t get your dream story is fine, but this is a more sexist criticism than a story evaluation
Shill. Her personality contradicts what Tolkien wrote completely. Also, where are her magic powers??
i 100% agree
She doesn’t feel like lady galadriel to me. The way she moves. The way she speaks. The way she looks. None of it is Lady Galadriel. She should be radiant, ethereal beauty and move with such grace and mystery and speak in riddles. This new galadriel is just a human with pointy ears.
I don’t have any problem with a female character that has masculine traits the same goes with a male character that has feminine traits, I like the idea of breaking certain mindsets and stigmas, like strong men is masculine and female is kind and feminine etc. But the problem is that they changed a character that is known for being feminine and strong and they should have kept her like that that’s how people remembered her. I can also understand that people have become tired of the masculine female strong character and wish to see more from the feminine strong character but I don’t despise any of them.
I do agree though I hate the TREND to make female characters masculine because that's seems to be the only way people conceive strength, like if a feminine woman will be weak or stupid by default. So I love characters that doesn't fit in gender roles but that trend only perpetuates them. Legolas it has a lot of feminine traits without falling in that.
She is sword woman. Not galadriel. A child sword woman
Galadriel as a warrior is as realistic as Grand Moff Tarkin dancing capoeira to fight rebels.
She did fight in some wars in the past. Official tolkien cannon
They humanized Galadriel too much it is an insult to Tolkien’s Galadriel.
As far as one liners go eowyns "I am no man' was on point and one of the reasons i love strong woman
I hate how they ruined Galadriel. She’s angry all the time, vindictive, and petty. She is the bad guy in Rings of Power. The producers and director ruined her character for political reasons.
I don’t consume entertainment to be lectured about political problems.
Get over yourselves ppl, it was always known that Rings of Power will be inspired by Tolkiens work. Not a reflection of his work to the T
The question is : Is there a tempest in you?
Yup, her lacking femininity is a big reason. Don’t know why all these woke writers need to make their “strong women” characters be essentially dudes.
You mean dudes are arrogant?
Because they are sexist at the core and can not see streght as a feminine trait.
People have to nerve to call people sexist because They don’t like “strong” women I can’t speak for everyone but my favourite favourite people in fiction are mostly consisting of badass women for example here Eowyn and Galadriel (LOTR/Hobbit)
People aren’t Misogynistic they just don’t like bad writing
5 She isnt cate blanchet you cannot top that no matter how hard anybody tries !!
Hard to top Hela.
If your misogynistic just say so. Galadriel was written to ve like that when she was younger.
one of things they missed that is Galadriel was part of rebellion that left Valinor for middle Earth in order to find jewels and to establish her empire. it would have been a better reason then just simply to find sauron.
unpopular opinion, but to me Galadriel was ok? honestly, i feel like I'm the only one who enjoyed the show
She was a warrior. She lived for 3,000 years and never fought anyone?? She is feminine
I agree with everything except the feminine and masculine remark ,since i don't understand what's the difference between the two ,for me it's just the physical difference since mentally we are basically the same both men and women are intelligent,brave,independent..etc so i don't understand
Watch my long form video on Eowyn. It explores that idea further. Its about more than who is fighting, who has the swords, because Eowyn is feminine AND fights. She is the active feminine strength. Give it a watch. Its a much longer video, but the idea requires time to explain fully.
the casting crew really took some random girl, but a long blonde wig on her, glued pointy ears on her and called her Galadriel
You know something is extremely wrong with the show when the fans hate GALADRIEL....which was so much popular in the LOTR and Hobbit.
(I dont watch that show, i hear it from many friends and other viewers on internets)
Galadriel is so masculine it doesn’t seem right. All this woke BS needs to stop
Don't like Guyladriel either .
#1 reason being : The LORE!
Tolkien never, in not one of his many revisions to the narrative of Galadriel, did he write that while sailing back to Aman, she jumped off the boat in the middle of the ocean, and then was saved by Sauron....
This show spits in the face of Tolkien's actual words. The stories he wrote are fine as is, and these attempts to modernize and revise them are actually a detriment.
Any real fan of the actual lore knows this. I suggest they read "Concerning Galadriel and Celeborn" chapter in Unfunished Tales. C. Tolkien does a wonderful job putting together all the different notes and revisions that his father did on these two characters. (For example: did you know that in some of the last writings and revisions that Tolkien did on Middle Earth was a narrative revision where he had Galadriel and Celeborn sailing to ME before Feanor!) Definitely a must-read for anyone approaching this subject, and the fact that these show writers chose a narrative completely devoid and so out of touch with Tolkien's work, it verges on propaganda. How else can you explain their ignoring of the source material in favor of modern politically motivated choices?
Bro if a woman is immortal I think it’s common to get through several personalities.
It is her annoying phase
Most women do that in a mortal life, she's 1000s of years old she should of gone through all her phases by the time she was 100 lol.
She's just an unlikeable bitch.
I don't like her depression either.
Guyladriel act like a pubescent teenager without any manners! Middle Earth looks like a Fanfiction story where lots of super power girls lead and fight for the weak men...
First of all, we don’t know much about her past ,she lived hundreds of hundreds of years. People can change in our short lives, let alone people who can live hundreds upon hundreds of years.
I feel bad for the actress, watch other movies and you’ll see she could’ve delivered a brilliant performance with good writing.
she was a warrior. what complete dope made this review? Zero clue about her history as Noldor. She’s an eddington badass in Tolkien and if i have a gripe, she should be more like Brienne of Tarth. She was 6’3 in tolkien and the most powerful warrior/being in Middle Earth
Wokeness has literally ruined all good ideas. They try to promote feminism by making Galadriel look so big and tough by making all the men appear so weak. She HAS to be more athletic, stronger, a better fighter, more cunning. And of course, don't forget that she can never be wrong. Oh yeah, and she has no remorse. They've created a fantasy world of the most unrelatable characters.
In lotr, she's about 4,500 years older, which can be masked as character development, in RoP I kinda see her as a reckless young elf who's always in the wrong place at the wrong time
Honestly I was shocked when I saw the galadriel from Lotr and compared it to this, ngl the actress did a good job, not too good but still pretty cool, there are parts where it seems off, she's a good character without knowing what her character was supposed to be, the scripted ruined it for me.
It's call character building
that's no Galadriel that Tolkien wrote, this is just guy lad riel created by a bad fan fiction about woke movement.
Well, Galadriel was a warrior but definitely not a soldier like this assassin wannabe of ROF
I don't necessarily think that Clark is a bad actress, she just had to work with the script she was presented with and acted in the way she was directed. The plot was the main setback and the superimposed female leads was just too much.
I think she’s incredible. The hate I’m mostly seeing are coming from men who can’t relate to her and choose not to. She grows throughout the series and will continue to in the seasons to come.
Oh yes we can relate to her. She is exactly like the men we know who are arrogant jerks that most men dislike and avoid
Real Men don’t relate to shit.
She's like the biggest asshole in the entire show and that's saying something when Sauron is in it
I feel like we’re watching different shows. She is one of the only good things about the series. Absolutely amazing!
The wailers must wail. 😂
My gf and I talked about if she was supposed to be unlikeable by choice. The character is so badly written it doesn't make sense
Imo I think the reason is that she has a frown on her face all the time. It’s really hard to like a character, or any person in general, when all they exude is negative energy.
Eowyn's secret feminine power is her deadly soup
All is true, but number 4 is the strongest reason why we dont like her
Why is "masculine" to be strong :/
I don’t really care, I enjoyed her presence.
Cate Blanchet was etherical, inhumanly beautiful and intimidating and powerul at same time
The biggest tragedy here is that the actress is actually quite capable and good looking (check her interviews), but they wrote her into the shitter.
Galadriel is a magic user not a warrior
Call the manager/I demand to speak to the King.
In the book she was seven feet tall. Funny how they wanted her to be a warrior but skipped on that lol. Also Galadriel in the show is bad because she never learns anything from her experiences. She just flips on a switch the last episode for no reason.
Eowyn is such a better character... but it's probably unfair to compare. They aren't allowed to write well anymore. "The message" is all important.
All these points are opinions and weird ones too. She WAS a warrior, what are you even on about. And she’s all the things you say she isn’t. This needs to stop cuz it’s getting embarrassing
LEAVE WARRIOR GALADRIEL ALONE! SHE'S STUNNING AND BRAVE!
...AND A COMPLETE BASTARDISATION OF THE CHARACTER TOLKIEN CREATED.

There are very few actresses that could play elves. No actress has done a proper job. Cate Blanchett did a pretty good job but this role requires physical beauty that very few women have.
"You can't write strong female characters" enough said by the narrator
Except that Eowyn from LOTR was actually a strong character.
Good lord give her character some time to breath. It's a completely different age by the time TLOTR takes place which is over 1000 years, so maybe in that amount of time she had some... character development? Imagine that!
I swear, people look for every reason to hate on this show when in reality it's not that bad. ESPECIALLY when you compare it to how starwars has been handled lately, Amazon has been very gentle in comparison 😂😭
TF she is already several thousand years old at the time

I have only just seen this short, but I love your video explaining why Éowyn’s character worked well, and Guyladriel’s didn’t. I have recommended it and pasted the link for so many people in various comments sections when there are complaints about “strong, female characters“ like Rey made for a “modern audience“. That video really deserves millions of views, and should be required viewing for creative writers, film students, and Hollywood. Of course, they would freak out because it contains reality and religious references, but I’m willing to believe that there are people who are open minded enough to understand the message of your video.

….she was a warrior…she had no interest in being one though but Tolkien said she was on an Amazonian level but didn’t change the fact the show sucked lol
some people need to realise in this day and age that surprise surprise US FEMALES ARE FEMININE 💀 YES SOME PEOPLE MAY BE MORE MASCULINE IN OTHERS, BUT HONESTLY, MOST FEMALES HAVE A BIT OF FEMININE IN THERE. if you essentially make a female character with a man's personality, then that would create an unrealistic, uncomfortable character bcs it just wont work in making an actual strong female character. It would also be kinda sexist ish bcs like, you dont need women to have masculine traits to be leaders. That's essentially saying you need to be like a man to be a leader. oof
plot twist: season 15 shall reveal that Galadriel is Sauron
I have no issue with her.and I think the actress is doing just fine. Considering she is playing a character in the 2nd age, it makes sense she wouldn't be the same 3rd age elf Cate Blanchett played in the movies.
Who said we didn't like her,we lover her, she was clouded by her revenge for finrod and in season 2 she will change as shes made peace with finrod's death
Who's "we"? 😂😂 most people dislike the characters and the show that's a fact
