If you have watched Saint Maud you would understand why this sounds promising considering the actress they hired
PTSD Galadriel could actually be pretty good, she lost all her brothers, her homeland, feels she cannot return to Valinor where he father still lives.
The 1st age ended with the defeat of Morgoth but so much pain and suffering for the Noldor came along with it. Galadriel came under the Doom of Mandos too even if her actions were not the worst of the rebels

Could potentially be well-done, but everything else I've seen looks so terribly done, that I highly doubt it will be handled well.

I'm not sure the exact details, alot has been kept surprisingly under wraps still. But she ends up getting herself shipwrecked somehow, along with some random human, and they get picked up by Numenoreans while floating around the Sundering Seas
Makes no difference. She looks run down and pathetic in that shot. What an absolute disgrace.

It was in the books. He never said it out of his mouths, but neither did GRRM when he wrote that line about "cutting a man's tongue only proves that you may fear what he has to say" blah blah. So congrats, you won on a technicality. Here's your updoot.
She was perfectly cast.
Replacing Glorfindel's role in the books with her was a good decision. Jackson introduced her as a powerful character (while not actually having her engage in physical fighting) and gave that role in the story to a relevant character, compared to Glorfindel who is never relevant again, and is conspicuously absent later, despite his power.
Do you have ADHD? because she has, probably hates having to sit around waiting for her next question and it makes her do this agitation twitch
She also clenches her hands together alot in interviews, it's kind qt tbh
5/10 feminist approved “heroine”

Anyway you can see her dress here is low-ish cut, so she will show some skin at least
>step outside >see ass and boobs and hips and waist on display everywhere >go online >see morons who never leave their home whining about muh sexualization so unrealistic
Funny how this show come out in 2 months, and with its budget for it to succeed people should be getting hyped right now but no one is hearing about this show in a good light.
Saving pretty much everything for San Diego Comicon then they are going to do the biggest marketing blitz you will probably ever see for a tv show

Cope and seethe the show will NEVER be good. I will not watch, bur will leave bad reviews. This will be the cyberpunk2077 except even worse, more like the fallout 76 of tv.

Wow, amazon has never made a good fantasy show, hell even a good show. They don’t have enough material to piggy back off the material like season 1-4ish of GOT where untalented writers just cvpasted GOT book material. They will have to rely on their own non existent talents. Which means this won’t be a faithful adaptation, by definition, and it will be 100% worse than even WOT which had a budget bigger than like 99.99% of GOT episodes (if you go episode by episode budget). In other words people are only gonna be hyped to see the shitshow to make fun of it. This show will have the cultural effects of a turd ripple.

Meaning 50 million per small appendix page applied to a total budget of 1 billion meaning 50% of the budget went to getting rights to lotr appendix, 10 pages for 3447 years of material.

Wrong. We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit,” Payne says.
That is actually 7 pages of new second age material, maybe even less. So yes I was wrong. Middle earth second age was 3441 years, so 6 years shorter my bad. And budget they say “will cost more than 1 billion”. Rights are 250 million + additional rights and licensing which they says is anywhere between 100 million to 300 million so lets say the additional is 0 meaning 250 million/1 billion= 25% of the budget is for 7 pages of new material for the second age in an appendix! Utter homosexualry! You hyped for this? Oh no no no no.......

Plus how many shows will people go through Amazon to play? Like the Uplay of streaming services homie. Plus the appendix has literally no narrative writing, like half a piece of dialogue if I remember which means the vast vast vast majority of the show has no material.

You cannot just reappropriate the Indian poster meme.
Your shitty fan fiction will flop and be universally condemned by the fans as it already has.
>That doesn't mean she was running around in armor fighting in battles, and is nowhere described as doing such.
Im going to quote Christopher Tolkien here >There is no part of the history of Middle-earth more full of problems than the story of Galadriel, and it must be admitted that there are severe inconsistencies "embedded in the traditions"; or, to look at the matter from another point of view, that the role and importance of Galadriel only emerged slowly, and that her story underwent continual refashionings.
Her characterisation is pretty good and consistent but her actions are 'a fricking mess' to paraphrase the above, there are lots of directions to justifiably take the character because little can actually be nailed down in terms of what she got up to over the ages.
>In fact it is conspicuously stated that she did not fight several times in several places and versions of the story.
Think about this a little deeper, Tolkien made the point of saying she didn't partake in these 1st age battles and gave her a semi-reasonable excuse for why. Did he do this with many or any other characters that didn't partake in the wars against Angband? Ask yourself why he felt the need to explain why Galadriel specifically didn't go to war back then
Amazon shill please leave.
Just because her story was changed several different times in different versions of the legendarium, doesn't mean that in ANY of them she is a fricking armor wearing sword-wielding warrior-woman. To say that ambiguity means you can just start making up fan fiction is ridiculous.
Not to mention it directly contradicts her portrayal in the one piece of literature actually written and officially published by Tolkien, aka The Lord of the Rings, as an elf-witch of supernatural power and beauty and grace, not an armor-wearing pants-wearing valkyrie Amazon warrior. It's inconsistent.
Galadriel can fight, I can concede that, but this is not how she should be depicted primarily, as if she is a warrior. She isn't. She is a supernatural elf-witch being of supernatural beauty.
If you think the Amazon portayal is acceptable, then you are a shill.
>Ask yourself why he felt the need to explain why Galadriel specifically didn't go to war back then
Because she is a she-elf, and that difference means something to Tokien. Her power is not in strength of arms, but is a different type of supernatural feminine power. Conflating those two types of power is wrong and not consistent with the lore, and frankly insulting.
Stop trying to pilpul into justifying this. It ain't happenin.
>directly contradicts her portrayal in the one piece of literature actually written and officially published by Tolkien, aka The Lord of the Rings
Where she was at the end of her life and her body was close to starting to fade away.
Read up on elvish aging first and come back to me as to whether you still think a start of 2nd age Galadriel (26 year old in human terms) would be the same person as an end of 3rd age Galadriel (85-90 year old). If you cant be bothered then I will just say that Tolkien clearly laid out the phases of an elfs life and when they would still be 'full of vigour'
This is even before you talk about how Galadriel's role in ME has changes over the ages.
Its not a contradiction to have her act younger in her younger years, simply a contrast
>she didn't take part in the battles while her brothers did and died
because she thought the wars were 'hopeless' without the assistance of the Valar (and she was right)
The actual real reason is because her character was created after these wars were written so Tolkien was looking for a way to retroactivity include he in the 1st age without massively rewriting the whole thing.
We will never know what he would have had her do if her character existed when he first wrote these stories but im doubtful he would have her sit them out in the same way

Her brothers didn't do very much either except for Finrod, and his biggest thing was getting killed by Sauron.

It isn't. Tolkien wrote that she fought against Feanor in the battle of Alqualonde. Galadriel being a warrior who fights in battles is fine. Having her run around by herself as an adventure hobo like Aragorn or Gandalf is weird, though.
The Kinslaying at Alqualonde was not a field battle between armies. It was a riot breaking out between unarmed Teleri (maybe with some bows and knives) and the armed Noldor trying to take their boats. Galadriel is said to have fought against Feanor at this time, but it is entirely unclear what is meant by this as it happened in a spur of the moment tragedy. It doesn't mean she is an armor wearing warrior Valkyrie hopping around doing Legolas kick flips.

Not a homosexual
Let me paint a picture of what is acceptable and what isn't:
For example in a flash back to the Kinslaying at Alqualonde, it would be entirely acceptable for a young ethereally beautiful Galadriel, coming upon the scene of the Kinslaying, seeing her kin being killed by Feanor's Noldor, and being enraged, grabbing a sword (she is unarmed at the start) and rushing out in between the armed camps and stopping a sword stroke from falling on the head of a defenseless Teleri man/woman, and commanding the Noldor around her to stand down. The supernatural strength of her voice and ethereal beauty of her presence and force of will convinces all around her to stop fighting and realize the tragedy of what they are partaking in.
It isn't acceptable to have Galadriel dressed like this

I will watch it for she.
jumping around doing kickflips and using her sword to dismember and kill other Noldor armed swordsmen, like some kind of gay cgi Marvel action fest.

Yes. It was called the Nírnaeth Arnoediad. Which was the point that the other post was making.
Tolkien supported Franco, was a fervent catholic and called his works essentially Christian and catholic, was the main reason that the greatest Christian Apologist of the 20th century converted to Christianity and hated bad adaptations with poor intentions and political intentions (read letter 210).
She's going to get spitroasted by Elendil and Pharazon when she gets to Numenor. She was hanging out with their actors outside of work anyway so it probably happened irl too
>I will watch it for she.
FRICKING CISSCRUM HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THEY/THEM'S PRONOUNS BEFORE AMAZON DROPS A PRESS RELEASE DETAILING THE GENDERS OF ALL THE CAST
In terms of actor age he's 7 years older than her, so not a huge difference. I think they want to use age as a way to portray seniority but maybe have Galadriel be the odd one out, which sort of makes sense.
I'm not 100% that's what that are going for though
Jesus Christ I remember the same image being linked by you shills on threads 3 months ago. Honest to god. Im cancelling my amazon prime membership because of you shill.
It doesn't even bother me that Galadriel is wearing armor and a sword, it bothers me how the LotR universe is supposed to be early middle ages in terms of technology. No one is described wearing plate armor in the books. They are all supposed to be wearing mail, even the elves
It's because of Jackson, he popularised it
Even though the show is diverging from his aesthetic in a number of ways there are still many things they want to keep

So because other elves died at see it's alright to simply shipwreck Galadriel to push some idiot storyline. No respect.

She was clearly more likeminded with the males than she was any other elf lady, and these are the ragetard Noldorean male elves too
>fake Tolkien quote
It was in the books. He never said it out of his mouths, but neither did GRRM when he wrote that line about "cutting a man's tongue only proves that you may fear what he has to say" blah blah. So congrats, you won on a technicality. Here's your updoot.

Gross.
Any better?
I will cancel my prime in september because she
>he actually has a Prime subscription
It was 10$/year
Btw. Today is Liv Tyler's birthday.
I too will watch only for she.
She was so ethereal.
She was perfectly cast.
Replacing Glorfindel's role in the books with her was a good decision. Jackson introduced her as a powerful character (while not actually having her engage in physical fighting) and gave that role in the story to a relevant character, compared to Glorfindel who is never relevant again, and is conspicuously absent later, despite his power.
I get that for the movies, but in the books it's kinda cool that Frodo just casually meets a living legend.
I agree. In the books it is fricking awesome.
For a movie though I think it was a good decision.
I probably do this all the time.
how the frick can you fix this
Do you have ADHD? because she has, probably hates having to sit around waiting for her next question and it makes her do this agitation twitch
She also clenches her hands together alot in interviews, it's kind qt tbh
Who is this average looking Elvish man? Glorfindel?
>Glorfindel
Doesn't come to middle earth until around the time Sauron sacks Eregion
The who is the plain looking Elvish male in the picture?
My wife, stop asking questions about her
Whats wrong with her tiny beady eyes?
>Whats wrong
nothing
Is she 40? That face has a leathery face.,
>leathery face
I'm not sure you know what a leathery face looks like. Hers is like a soft peach.
This post made me cancel my Amazon Prime membership.
I think that pic was taken for an interview she did while filming ROP in NZ, so 30-31 there
Anyway you are trying too hard
This b***h looks like she works in the stable, cleaning horseshit
Ewww
This the new viral marketing shill campaign?
>new
5/10 feminist approved “heroine”
Fat chance of ever seeing a cleavage on this show
I can’t believe 4chons now of all places are simping for the next gen of uggo actresses
>Fat chance of ever seeing a cleavage on this show
You really need to see Galadriel cleavage?
Anyway you can see her dress here is low-ish cut, so she will show some skin at least
>"oh elrond, why did you choose to look like a tard?"
He looks fine
I think the problem is he doesn't look either regal or much like a warrior.
In fairness both of those aspects of his character are yet to come, he's pretty much a zoomer at the start
>that chin
His chin is kino
>Fat chance of ever seeing a cleavage on this show
c umbrain monkeys like you make feminism look palatable
>step outside
>see ass and boobs and hips and waist on display everywhere
>go online
>see morons who never leave their home whining about muh sexualization so unrealistic
Imagine being a man and fighting against “the male gaze”
Just wanna hike that skirt and pull that braid while I FRICK her tight little bum.
Ahem. Anyway, still not watching this shit.
Funny how this show come out in 2 months, and with its budget for it to succeed people should be getting hyped right now but no one is hearing about this show in a good light.
Saving pretty much everything for San Diego Comicon then they are going to do the biggest marketing blitz you will probably ever see for a tv show
Trailer will be released 3 weeks today
And no matter what they do, the dislikes, comments, reaction is gonna make them shit their pants.
wtf are you even talking about
Are you stupid? Disabled? Hyped for an adaptation to 10 pages spanning 3447 years from the LOTR appendix! What a homosexual, who gets hyped for an appendix adaptation? Cope and seethe the show will NEVER be good. I will not watch, bur will leave bad reviews. This will be the cyberpunk2077 except even worse, more like the fallout 76 of tv.
>This will be the cyberpunk2077 except even worse
This show actually finished their post production though
Wow, amazon has never made a good fantasy show, hell even a good show. They don’t have enough material to piggy back off the material like season 1-4ish of GOT where untalented writers just cvpasted GOT book material. They will have to rely on their own non existent talents. Which means this won’t be a faithful adaptation, by definition, and it will be 100% worse than even WOT which had a budget bigger than like 99.99% of GOT episodes (if you go episode by episode budget). In other words people are only gonna be hyped to see the shitshow to make fun of it. This show will have the cultural effects of a turd ripple.
You really need to learn how percentages work
Not more than you ROP(e) fan. How about 10 pages in an appendix to lotr adapted to 3447 years. For 500 million dollars. Meaning 50 million per small appendix page applied to a total budget of 1 billion meaning 50% of the budget went to getting rights to lotr appendix, 10 pages for 3447 years of material. Not looking good rop(e) bros.......
>How about 10 pages in an appendix to lotr adapted to 3447 years. For 500 million dollars
Literally everything you said here was wrong, amazing.
Well done at googling how to do percentages though.
Wrong. We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit,” Payne says.
That is actually 7 pages of new second age material, maybe even less. So yes I was wrong. Middle earth second age was 3441 years, so 6 years shorter my bad. And budget they say “will cost more than 1 billion”. Rights are 250 million + additional rights and licensing which they says is anywhere between 100 million to 300 million so lets say the additional is 0 meaning 250 million/1 billion= 25% of the budget is for 7 pages of new material for the second age in an appendix! Utter homosexualry! You hyped for this? Oh no no no no.......
Might be worth finding out how much 1st and 2nd age content is described/referenced in the actual text of these books.
Im presuming you haven't actually read them
Ahahahahahahahaa like 100 bullet points with no context can be extracted from it (FA doesn’t count unless if you want 200 flashbacks with no context). If you don’t understand copyright law, basically if they don’t have the context for most of the SA material, if they include it, its gonna be a legal problem and if they don’t include it its gonna be a narrative problem. Bro, you lost. No one is gonna give this show a chance, none. Even if its halfway not a turd (which it will be a full turd) people’s first impressions stay. Plus how many shows will people go through Amazon to play? Like the Uplay of streaming services homie. Plus the appendix has literally no narrative writing, like half a piece of dialogue if I remember which means the vast vast vast majority of the show has no material. I actually cannot wait for when this show comes out and its worse than Waste Of Time and people like you have meltdowns like when cyberpunk and fallout 76 came out but “I took days off work for this what do I do I called in sick”. Ahahahaha.
>FA doesn’t count
Im presuming you don't where the show starts then? They kind of gave it away 9 months
Ahahahahaha they said there won’t be a fa prologue it will be entirely sa with some flashbacks. Cope more.
>they said there won’t be a fa prologue
Who said that? because that's just totally incorrect
We already know that the prologue will have a young young Galadriel (pic rel) in Valinor with Finrod
That's not the only thing they are covering in the 1st age prologue, quite a bit more by the sound of things
Ahahahahaha cope more im not even gonna correct you here! Hope you get your hope’s even higher. Didn’t you guys learn anything from cyberpunk and fallout 76?
>Didn’t you guys learn anything from cyberpunk and fallout 76?
Why do you keep talking about Cinemaphileshit? lol
>can’t extract the abstract concept of high budget hyped things being big disappointments (eventhough in all fairness no one with a brain is hyping rings of power) and compare it with this situation.
Wow, just wow. I knew rop(e) bros were stupid but not this stupid.
I don't playing much vidya atm but wasn't Elden Ring high budget, hyped up and yet still a massive success
Why did you leave that one out of your weird comparison?
Because Elden Ring has a proven company unlike amazon tv shows, bethesda and cd projekt red AHAHAHAHAHAHA ROPE BROS ARE FRICKING IDIOTS!!!!
Amazon don't make their tv shows you moron, some they commission and others they just buy to put on their streaming service. Each show is made by different sets of producers/showrunners apart from highly controlled shit like the MCU or Star Wars
Learn how the industry works
homie that makes it worse. Amazon then have commissioned all of their shows to the worst possible companies! Every amazon show sucks dick. Meaning this show will 100% be bad. Thank you for strengthening my argument.
>Amazon then have commissioned all of their shows to the worst possible companies
Since when are Weta Workshop, Weta digital and ILM the worst possible VFX companies? lol
Now Rings Of power homosexuals cannot read! Of course they are the worst companies if amazon has never had a good show! You are the most delusional ROP(e) fan, you are gonna be screaming crying like a b***h when it comes out and its shit amazon show cw garbage #4083085.
>yes Weta digital and ILM are the worst VFX companies
lol
I never said that ahahahahaha. I said AMAZON CANNOT DELEGATE PROPER COMPANIES WHO CAN WORK TOGETHER YOU VFX CAPESHIT MINDED Black person. HENCE WHY NO GOOD AMAZON SHOWS EVER!!!! Imagine getting hyped for CW rings of power what a homosexual. 7 pages.
I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say
of course you don't your hyped for rings of power I wouldn't suspect people who are hyped for rings of power to have a reading level higher than second grade and even if you did you lack the neurons to get the easy references to put together a cogent argument. Hence your embarrassing position.
there is a massive overlap between bad tv shows teams like Waste Of Time and Rings Of Power. Educate yourself.
you're such an obvious shill
>3 more weeks, trust the plan
I dont know what is so hard to understand about them having a huge event in Hall H for SDCC, its pretty much a given for any big movie and tv show to bring something new with them
Trailer #1 will 100% be shown then, they even bought out the event marketing to have their logo plastered on every entrance badge
I'm so happy we actually got the whole LOTR trilogy with no Black folk and this is just crappy fan fiction :')
Nice try Amazon shill.
You cannot just reappropriate the Indian poster meme.
Your shitty fan fiction will flop and be universally condemned by the fans as it already has.
@170405717
Easily the worst bait I have seen all day
>That doesn't mean she was running around in armor fighting in battles, and is nowhere described as doing such.
Im going to quote Christopher Tolkien here
>There is no part of the history of Middle-earth more full of problems than the story of Galadriel, and it must be admitted that there are severe inconsistencies "embedded in the traditions"; or, to look at the matter from another point of view, that the role and importance of Galadriel only emerged slowly, and that her story underwent continual refashionings.
Her characterisation is pretty good and consistent but her actions are 'a fricking mess' to paraphrase the above, there are lots of directions to justifiably take the character because little can actually be nailed down in terms of what she got up to over the ages.
>In fact it is conspicuously stated that she did not fight several times in several places and versions of the story.
Think about this a little deeper, Tolkien made the point of saying she didn't partake in these 1st age battles and gave her a semi-reasonable excuse for why. Did he do this with many or any other characters that didn't partake in the wars against Angband? Ask yourself why he felt the need to explain why Galadriel specifically didn't go to war back then
Amazon shill please leave.
Just because her story was changed several different times in different versions of the legendarium, doesn't mean that in ANY of them she is a fricking armor wearing sword-wielding warrior-woman. To say that ambiguity means you can just start making up fan fiction is ridiculous.
Not to mention it directly contradicts her portrayal in the one piece of literature actually written and officially published by Tolkien, aka The Lord of the Rings, as an elf-witch of supernatural power and beauty and grace, not an armor-wearing pants-wearing valkyrie Amazon warrior. It's inconsistent.
Galadriel can fight, I can concede that, but this is not how she should be depicted primarily, as if she is a warrior. She isn't. She is a supernatural elf-witch being of supernatural beauty.
If you think the Amazon portayal is acceptable, then you are a shill.
>Ask yourself why he felt the need to explain why Galadriel specifically didn't go to war back then
Because she is a she-elf, and that difference means something to Tokien. Her power is not in strength of arms, but is a different type of supernatural feminine power. Conflating those two types of power is wrong and not consistent with the lore, and frankly insulting.
Stop trying to pilpul into justifying this. It ain't happenin.
>directly contradicts her portrayal in the one piece of literature actually written and officially published by Tolkien, aka The Lord of the Rings
Where she was at the end of her life and her body was close to starting to fade away.
Read up on elvish aging first and come back to me as to whether you still think a start of 2nd age Galadriel (26 year old in human terms) would be the same person as an end of 3rd age Galadriel (85-90 year old). If you cant be bothered then I will just say that Tolkien clearly laid out the phases of an elfs life and when they would still be 'full of vigour'
This is even before you talk about how Galadriel's role in ME has changes over the ages.
Its not a contradiction to have her act younger in her younger years, simply a contrast
in 1st age Galadriel was younger and she didn't take part in the battles while her brothers did and died
>she didn't take part in the battles while her brothers did and died
because she thought the wars were 'hopeless' without the assistance of the Valar (and she was right)
The actual real reason is because her character was created after these wars were written so Tolkien was looking for a way to retroactivity include he in the 1st age without massively rewriting the whole thing.
We will never know what he would have had her do if her character existed when he first wrote these stories but im doubtful he would have her sit them out in the same way
>let me tell you what Tolkien actually wanted to write about
>because she thought the wars were 'hopeless' without the assistance of the Valar (and she was right)
>The actual real reason is because her character was created after these wars were written so Tolkien was looking for a way to retroactivity include he in the 1st age without massively rewriting the whole thing.
>We will never know what he would have had her do if her character existed when he first wrote these stories but im doubtful he would have her sit them out in the same way
Her brothers didn't do very much either except for Finrod, and his biggest thing was getting killed by Sauron.
truth
Amazon fanfiction garbage, kys
She fought at the battle of Alqualondë, which happens before she even gets to middle earth. It's described 4 times in the books, did you even read them?lol
The Kinslaying at Alqualonde was not a field battle between armies. It was a riot breaking out between unarmed Teleri (maybe with some bows and knives) and the armed Noldor trying to take their boats. Galadriel is said to have fought against Feanor at this time, but it is entirely unclear what is meant by this as it happened in a spur of the moment tragedy. It doesn't mean she is an armor wearing warrior Valkyrie hopping around doing Legolas kick flips.
Yes, I understand Elvish aging.
It still is completely unsupported to depict Galadriel as a warrior fighting in armor and with swords.
See:
>pic related yfw your pilpul doesn't work, despite the 10 hours of Amazon funded lore manipulation training
>It still is completely unsupported to depict Galadriel as a warrior fighting in armor and with swords.
It isn't. Tolkien wrote that she fought against Feanor in the battle of Alqualonde. Galadriel being a warrior who fights in battles is fine. Having her run around by herself as an adventure hobo like Aragorn or Gandalf is weird, though.
homosexuals
Not a homosexual
Let me paint a picture of what is acceptable and what isn't:
For example in a flash back to the Kinslaying at Alqualonde, it would be entirely acceptable for a young ethereally beautiful Galadriel, coming upon the scene of the Kinslaying, seeing her kin being killed by Feanor's Noldor, and being enraged, grabbing a sword (she is unarmed at the start) and rushing out in between the armed camps and stopping a sword stroke from falling on the head of a defenseless Teleri man/woman, and commanding the Noldor around her to stand down. The supernatural strength of her voice and ethereal beauty of her presence and force of will convinces all around her to stop fighting and realize the tragedy of what they are partaking in.
It isn't acceptable to have Galadriel dressed like this
jumping around doing kickflips and using her sword to dismember and kill other Noldor armed swordsmen, like some kind of gay cgi Marvel action fest.
>The supernatural strength of her voice and ethereal beauty of her presence and force of will convinces all around her to stop fighting and realize the tragedy of what they are partaking in.
Fricking headcanon bro, lol
He's some quotes from the actual text
*Here's some quotes
This looks like you took a screencap directly from your Amazon(tm) sparknotes shill instructions to argue in support of your online shill campaign.
>in (random scrap of paper #149) Galadriel fights therefore she warrior
Tolkien also wrote that Morgoth married a giantess and Gothmog is their baby
>(random scrap of paper #149)
4 random scraps of paper actually, all written by and published under JRR Tolkien too
>published under JRR Tolkien
by his son who collected all materials even weird ones that were rejected later like elvish word for hermaphrodite
>4 random scraps of paper actually, all written by and published under JRR Tolkien too
>Tolkien didn't explicitly state Galadriel never fought in wars
>therefore she did
This is how Amazon and all new adaptions feel towards the literature.
Rop(e) bros when they watch the first episode and its worse than Waste Of Time and they realize they have been hyping for a glorified CW show with no links to tolkien (pic rel).
>she
Im not going to watch it
HAIL THE WHITE RACE
*this kills the chud*
Lmao. This is the best that Amazon.com's million dollar troony research and shilling department can muster.
Literally:
>she was athletic and strong-willed and one time fought to stop a massacre of her kinsfolk
This somehow justifies the garbage fanfiction they're trying to shove down our throats of Galadriel as a heckin strong and Valkyrie wearing armour and swords to own the Orcs!!
You shall not pass, trannies.
he is a big guy
If Galadriel can go toe to toe with Feanor is physical combat then she can absolutely handle most other non maiar in middle earth
>Galadriel dueled with Feanor
nowhere implied
Even after the merciless assault upon the Teleri and the rape of their ships, though she fought fiercely against Fëanor in defence of her mother's kin, she did not turn back - Unfinished Tales
want the 3 other references?
that doesn't mean she fought against him, just against elves loyal to him
also
>Unfinished Tales
the book with at least three contradictory stories about Galadriel some of them contradicting LotR
>that doesn't mean she fought against him, just against elves loyal to him
Sounds like headcanon hoopjumping tbh
>at least three contradictory stories about Galadriel
Wow so like the entire history of Galadriel? what a newsflash
if Tolkien wrote
>Fingon fought against Morgoth, would you understand it as
>Fingon personally dueled Morgoth
or just fought against his forces
>Fingon fought against Morgoth
Yes. It was called the Nírnaeth Arnoediad. Which was the point that the other post was making.
>the rape of their ships
Rape - an act of plunder, violent seizure
Tolkien supported Franco, was a fervent catholic and called his works essentially Christian and catholic, was the main reason that the greatest Christian Apologist of the 20th century converted to Christianity and hated bad adaptations with poor intentions and political intentions (read letter 210).
based
he also hated globohomo, women going to church in trousers and Mass in languages other than Latin
thread lacking in Morfs
its morfin time
the amount of shilling in here its insane. imagine if they actually cared about the plot instead
she will frick a Black person elf, won't she?
Worse, human Black person
God I hope so
She's going to get spitroasted by Elendil and Pharazon when she gets to Numenor. She was hanging out with their actors outside of work anyway so it probably happened irl too
i hope Ar-Pharazon will frick twink Sauron while his wife can only look and seethe
>Sauron bottoming to anyone, ever
>except Melkor of course
Based of post, OP. I will watching this also on Amazon Prime!
>I will watch it for she.
FRICKING CISSCRUM HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THEY/THEM'S PRONOUNS BEFORE AMAZON DROPS A PRESS RELEASE DETAILING THE GENDERS OF ALL THE CAST
Why does her nephew looks much older than her?
In terms of actor age he's 7 years older than her, so not a huge difference. I think they want to use age as a way to portray seniority but maybe have Galadriel be the odd one out, which sort of makes sense.
I'm not 100% that's what that are going for though
>Why does her nephew looks much older than her?
None of the Elves should look a day over 26, except Círdan maybe. But actors are human so it's inevitable than they have some imperfections.
but Poos can't afford Prime, Rajesh
Look at how effortlessly standout Morfy is in pics with some of her other cast mates, what a babe
She looks like a youtube version of Galadriel. Godawful casting.
This you?
Jesus Christ I remember the same image being linked by you shills on threads 3 months ago. Honest to god. Im cancelling my amazon prime membership because of you shill.
I don't even subscribe to Amazon Prime but the shills have made me so mad that I am subscribing for a free trial AND THEN cancelling!
kys amazon shills
Already know she’ll be an arya stark clone stronk women defeating all men in battle with 0 muscle mass
>0 muscle mass
She's been bulking
It doesn't even bother me that Galadriel is wearing armor and a sword, it bothers me how the LotR universe is supposed to be early middle ages in terms of technology. No one is described wearing plate armor in the books. They are all supposed to be wearing mail, even the elves
It's because of Jackson, he popularised it
Even though the show is diverging from his aesthetic in a number of ways there are still many things they want to keep
New Morf Instagram post, hot off the press bros!
Ok lads im officially in love wtf
cute dog
lads?
huh you you marketing homosexuals finally found a way to to be shit on for shilling your amazon abomination. just target the coomers
I mean do you blame them? the Galadriel actress is genuinely good looking
