Galadriel

In my opinion it would be Eärendil because he killed Ancalagon and possessed a Silmaril but who do you all think it would be?

Can we talk about Elrond making out with Galadriel in episode 7 of the Rings of Power season 2? Was I the only person who was extremely uncomfortable and caught completely off guard? I I always assumed their relationship was entirely platonic, and I never found any hints in previous episodes to change that assumption. Also, considering they both have spouses and kids in the future, let alone the fact that Elrond marries Galadriel's daughter, I'm not sure how the writers are going to reconcile that.

Anyone feel similar, or have a different viewpoint?

I have just watched the series and really liked it. More then I expected it, it had some weird things and it wasnt as good as the Lord of the Rings itself, but I really enjoyed it. The thing I probably liked the most was that they kept Galadriel way of looking, really mysterious but not dark yet. The last episode was also great, the forging of the first three rings and the reveal of who Halbrand really was.

I've read The Hobbit (10/10 read, would recommend) and am currently reading The Fellowship. So far my favorite characters have been Bilbo, Sam, and maybe the slimy cave creature. Bill the pony has been the saddest death so far.

I am on page 366 I think.

It's the part where Galadriel is freaking out over being offered the Ring.

So after rewatching just the beginning of FOTR, I’m thinking that some of the math doesn’t seem to add up. A few minutes in, Galadriel says that around 2,500 years have passed since Isildur (the man who killed Sauron) claimed the ring. Later, however, Gandalf reads that Isildur seems to have claimed the ring in the year 3434. And yet, in FOTR, the year is somewhere in the 1100s. Is this a mistake, or was the record that Gandalf was reading written after Isildur claimed it?

I am a major fan of the Tolkien books, and movies, and did not have any expectations, besides a well-made series.

I will begin with the well-made areas: The C.G.I. was beautiful. And I enjoyed to watch the fantastical world unfold. The opening mountain scene was nearly Indistinguishable from a real mountain. The same I say fro the ocean.

Now, with the good details, I must complain about multiple areas: I did not appreciate the disregard for Tolkien’s lore. Tolkien loved his lore, he tweaked it to perfection, even years after the books, he still tinkered. This series destroyed it, that I cannot forgive. Part of the original film’s charm was that it was directly from the book. Each word, detail, and gesture had meaning. Though I cannot expect this series to have the same charm, as it will never be the original, its poetic (Attempted poetry, at least.) wording was rather distracting, and failed to contain depth. Finally, the acting was atrocious. I found it difficult to even discover what Galadriel was feeling. The emotions a character is experiencing is nearly, if not more important than the wording. This has not been accomplished.

I do indeed wish I had more to say in favor of this series; however, I simply desired good writing, I only got good C.G.I.

I have a question: the new Tolkien series will show how the rings of power were created, and I've seen a lot of non-canonical characters, so, is the series a prequel, showing us another story?

1. Some trolls turn to stone in sunlight

2. The sun is the vessel for the last fruit of Laurelin

3. The Phial of Galadriel (along with her hair) hold the hallowed light of the Two Trees of Valinor

Therefore - would Galadriel’s Phial, or merely her presence, turn these trolls to stone?

Hey guys. I'm writing a quiz and want to include a few LOTR questions. Am I correct in asserting that Galadriel is the oldest living character portrayed in the film adaptations? Obviously the films don't include lots of other ancient characters, such as Tom Bombadil. (Also, I'm not counting the fact that the Istari have existed for longer as Ainur.)

Thanks in advance!
