Like I’ve always said, don’t mind the all white versions.

You’re the one who has something to deal with and as always, your opinion isn’t a fact.

The more you dig into actual lore, the more you learn Galadriel was far different in her earlier days. Proud, willful, defiant, and a definite Alpha in the Noldor camp. All of her immediate family were, she's the only one who didn't die in the First Age.

That mellowness we get in LOTR is the result of millennia of anger and pride converting to reflection and regret. And remember, she was still elevated above the others. Frodo offered her exactly what she wanted for thousands of years, and it was only her experience by that point, that allowed her to see she shouldn't take it. Had that happened earlier, she would have.

The Galadriel we get in the Second Age should reflect that.

Show me an example of her wearing armor, wielding a sword, or leading an army into battle in ANYTHING other than this show.

OML and me are like Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Y’all are like John Paxton and Dennis Rodman. A retard who was helpful in certain situations and a white guy who shot 3’s like step curry when you needed him but 90% of the time he was useless.

You’re right it’s rude to forget the Maori actors who played orcs and Uruk-hai

Tolkien is my favorite author of all time and have read The Silmarillion multiple times.


The show deviates from the Silmarillion in a number of ways. The events of the First Age are significantly simplified and altered to set up the characters and settings of the show.

I still liked it.

I've not followed other posts which I'm not involved. Meant no offense. but honestly didn't keep up with your bona fides on the topic.

I liken it to when 2nd hand fans (or normies) hear things like 'baby Yoda' and assume someone is talking about Yoda as an actual baby... Yes, that's happened to me once.

There are no 'all white' versions. There's only Tolkien's work and how he chose to tell the story. You DO need to get over it, because Tolkien isn't changing any of it. And never will.

In this case, it's been demonstrably proven that it is.
