All characters are dumb or have done at least one dumb thing at some point. Elrond is promising but nothing like Elrond could have been. Only decent characters so far (to me) are Elendil and Pharazon.

@RamsayS yes it is from a letter, published in the Unfinished Tales.

@Light of Earendil your statement about canon is so wrong I dont even want to argue.

*actually Galadriel is 50% Teleri, 25% Noldor, 25% Vanyar

@Robmpn3 and not only that. Her first action in Beleriand described in the Silmarilion was after being welcomed to live in the court of Thingol and under mentorship of Melian, she hid away the Kinslaying and any other information about the Exile of the Noldor she deemed Thingol would not like. And it was not like a child hiding something bad. The Kinslaying was slaughter of her direct kin. She is half Noldor, half Teleri. So she displayed her maturity and skill in diplomacy even before ahe started studying with Melian.

@RamsayS I have written it on this thread. They reach their adult height at 50 but physically become adults at 100.

Another major reason this is not the case and you are giving this show too much credit, is that Celebrimbor and Gil Galad are younger than Galadriel. Celebrimbor is the son of her first cousin, Gil Galad is the grandson of her brother...

You seem very confused. This is not a matter of youthful immature years. Galadriel is about 2000 years old when the second Age begins, 3500 when the Rings were forged, 5000 when Ar-Pharazon became king of Numenor (thats how goofed up the timeline of the series is). Tolkien wrote "Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly. Physical puberty is generally complete by their fiftieth year(by age fifty they reach adult height), but they are not considered full-grown until a hundred years have passed."

Have you actually read the Silmarillion? What do The Boys have to do with this? Galadriel's daughter was born at the beggining of the Second Age so that actually is another point bringing down this absurd version her.

They seem to be suggesting that and it is absurd. The epic Elves of the First Age were much younger than Galadriel is in the Second Age, pretty much at the age of Elrond. We are talking about Elves like Finrod, Fingon, Turgon etc. This suggestion is simply absurd and another canon violation.

Him being an aged man indicates to the Istari. The Istari arrived in Middle Earth by ship and in batches though. Balrogs were twisted Maia followers of Morgoth, twisted through him. A Balrog shifting into a human would not be possible. Either way, this show is anything but canon, so anything is possible.
