All you would have to do is run into her at half speed and you'd give her a concussion.
She does not look imposing at all. This is meant to reverse your instincts. No man looks at this and is even a little intimidated
Is she supposed to look intimidating?
I'm really looking forward to it
cuck
Same and completely unironically too
suck my dik
Why?
It's like that guy in Dark Souls
why is the sword's hilt so enormous?
IT's not just for penetrating armour
It's something plot relavent that she's carrying, probably broken
Not the actual weapon she uses
BECAUSE SIZE OF YUR DICK MATTERS!!!!!!!!!!
THE BIGGER DICK YOU HAVE THE BETTER YOPU ARE!!!!!!!!!
BIG PEEPEE IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they weren't cowards they'd throw any pretense of realism out of the window and just choreograph the series like Devil May Cry.
It's a metaphor for white women and their love of BBC.
to make incels seethe
womyn can have bick hilts too chud, deal with it
looks like she's about to smash the bbc
$1 billion budget, costume chainmail is legitimately yoga pants with a chainmail pattern on them.
>$1 billion budget, costume chainmail is legitimately yoga pants with a chainmail pattern on them.
We all knew art was money laundering. Now we're seeing entertainment media (corporate art) become that, too. Assuming it wasn't already forever and a day.
>yoga pants with a chainmail pattern on them
im not gonna complan about this
>She
I don't know
who cares
legs spread...she wants to get orked!
Why does she manspread? Do women want to look like men now?
If called elfspreading, dumb chud.
Male and female elves are pretty much the same anyway, at least physically and Galadriel is in the top 0.1% Noldorean royalty category, which is OP af, fr
She's also one of the very few individuals in Middle Earth to bear the bloods of the Vanyars (thanks to her mother), the absolute racial elite of the Eldar race that left the mortal lands ages before the first and return briefly just to BTFO Morgoth
They were so OP an army of them was enough for Morgoth to panick and hide in his castle/bunker
No, that was Glorfindel, who was sent back to deal with him.
>Do women want to look like men now?
that is what feminism boils down to, anon
>2022 so strong women have to be non-conforming to gender roles
Galadriel was obviously the most powerful being in Middle Earth in the 3rd age and she wore a dress and crown. Jesus Christ why do they have to ruin characters just to appease suicide cases
This, putting her in plate is totally unnecessary.
Putting her into skin tight chain mail leggings is moronic. Everything about her costume is moronic. Everything about this show is moronic.
Sauron was the most powerful being in Third Age Middle-Earth. Gandalf the White could probably handle her, too
Well yeah, Sauron was a maiar and one of the greatest at that
But he was still weary of Galadriel and considered her his chief adversary. In the 2nd age at least
>But he was still weary of Galadriel and considered her his chief adversary. In the 2nd age at least
Are you sure? I don't remember Tolkien having mentioned what Sauron thought of Galadriel
>He [Sauron] perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavoured therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy
It's from Unfinished Tales
Ah, I see. Thanks
>But he was still weary of Galadriel and considered her his chief adversary. In the 2nd age at least
No, he didn't. She never fought in any wars, when the elves and men went to the final war with Sauron, her husband went, and she stayed home in Lothlorien. Her power came from Nenya, but couldn't wield it openly, because Sauron could own her mind if she did. He had no fear of Galadriel.
His greatest adversaries were Gil-galad and Elendil. You know, the guys who actually killed him. Elrond says Glorfindel was the only few great elves who could hold Sauron back at Rivendell...for a while.
I love it when the lorelets come rushing in
>He [Sauron] perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavoured therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy
>Galadriel was the greatest of the Noldor, except Feanor maybe, though she was wiser than he, and her wisdom increased with the long years.
>These two kinsfolk (Fëanor and Galadriel), the greatest of the Eldar in Valinor, were unfriends for ever." "Who together with the greatest of all the Eldar, Luthien Tinuviel, daughter of Elu Thingol, are the chief matter of the legends and histories of the Elves.
I did say she was the greatest of all the Noldor except Feanor
>weary of Galadriel
i'm sure we all will after this show bros, i'm sure we all will
>Galadriel was obviously the most powerful being in Middle Earth
Glorfindel would turn her into a puddle of goo.
>Glorfindel would turn her into a puddle of goo
In a pure test of combat prowess sure, but Galadriel has the edge over him in other ways. Remember she was the greatest of all the Noldor, expect Feanor 'maybe'
As a a duo they would be nigh on unbeatable though, maybe the show can fanfic them something cool to do together during the last alliance. Nothing is known what either of them were up to during this period.
Glorfindel was probably hanging out with Gil-Galad and Elrond.
She was not the greatest of all of the Noldor, you weirdo. She was the fairest.
They can't even go for celtic and anglo-saxon and 500-600s Britain aesthetics for the series. So fricking sad. They looked at elder scrolls online for their costume inspiration
>They looked at elder scrolls online for their costume inspiration
Nah it's just typical John Howe, he was always more fantastical than Alan Lee and the 2nd age should be more fantastical than the 3rd anyway
Did you ever see the book covers?
No plate, emphasis on a helmet ornament. This is so realistic and functional yet aesthetic as frick.
Sneed
No, These are meant to be intimidating.
Never Ending Story is based but I forgot about that monkey wise man.
Lmao did they give her leggings with a chain mail pattern?
why are you looking down there chud
Ciri looks weird
Battle mages are dope, fricking gays
Galadriel's skill set is actually similar to that of a Witcher
>combat ability
>top tier athleticism
>innate magic
>ability to craft consumables and items
>heightened senses and perception
Not surprising considering alot of these other fantasy series take their ideas from LOTR anyway
Galadriel was not a fricking battle mage, moron.
This looks like she's about to piss on the ground.
I just want to state that I claimed Morfy years ago, even before she was first announced in this role
In just a couple of months it's going to be normie tier to waifugay her, sad!
take the rang out yo bussy playa
basic white women trying to act badass = LMAO
women cant be cool. it's literally impossible
In games they can, such as bayonetta, ada wong, jill valentine.
>jill valentine.
not recently. Like others classic characters she has been tamed and toned down
true, remake jill was abit c**ty...at least we got bayonetta bro!
Looks like it's from a porn parody
Another great addition to the collection
She supposed to look like a man. Because all woman want is to be a man.
>she supposed to look intimidating?
These are magazines that guys in their 30s and 40s buy. Everybody else might take notice of the front cover when passing through a train station or supermarket and have a flick through to see what its all about.
She's meant to look HOT
>She's meant to look HOT
Big fail, in that case
I don't know, I'd let her gaze at my Silmaril any time, if you catch my drift.
Would you let her sit on your face whilst she insults you in elvish?
>yoga pants and plastic armor
please tell me this outfit was some quick mockup intended only for this photoshoot and is not the actual shooting costume for the show
She's going to be great
She's got the face of a english teacher in the UK.
>She's got the face of a english teacher in the UK
Has she frick mate, lol
Post a picture of your secondary school teacher so we can compare
Looks much better here...the power of makeup and lighting.
She actually looks like my old english teacher but had more wavy blonde hair lmao
She actually does look like my old high school English teacher, who was pretty hot. Spent half the lessons complaining about her husband lmao
>Spent half the lessons complaining about her husband lmao
Need more of this aesthetic in film
Well that's Alan Lee and the show hired John Howe as the sole lead concept artist, I made the point earlier but they have quite different styles.
That said they have clearly still used Alan Lee art as inspiration for some things
yeah homie these chain mail pattern yoga pants especially just scream John Howe
John Howe literally had his own empire cover to show the translation of his troll design to the screen
He's been doing interviews and all sorts talking about the variety of different creatures, armour and kingdoms that hes been designing
He's actually been more involved than people realised a few months ago, four hundred (400) note books worth of designs
I have no interest in the PR bullshit and dangling established names in front of gullible morons to keep them on board. Amazon demonstrated it's just lies with their other projects. Wheel of Time went through the same cycle.
>claim that they are not John Howe designs
>show that they are actually John Howe designs
>"Actually i'm really not interested in this conversation"
lmao
you almost had me there, too bad I own working eyes and can clearly see that the designs in the show have nothing from Howe's style in them.
they paid him to flaunt the name in PR materials, just like with every other big name they didn't fire yet.
>can clearly see that the designs in the show have nothing from Howe's style in them
I already posted one of his sketches here bro
you even responded to it, kek
yes, you have indeed posted a marketing piece that uses Howe's name, which is indeed what I said amazon used his name for.
too bad there's nothing like Howe's illustrations in the stills from the actual show.
>too bad there's nothing like Howe's illustrations in the stills from the actual show.
Because you haven't seen any of the other illustrations he was tasked with doing for the show, come on man
ok moron, I'm sure he scanned aliexpress for the chainmail pattern yoga pants that best fitted his vision himself, now stop replying to me
>p-please stop
lmao
Who cares this isn't fricking anime lol
It's a bunch of smug millenial c**ts who get handed Howe's sketches, they go "whatever, boomer", and make their own crappy designs.
Compare the John Howe sketch of the ice troll
then to the actual footage. Clearly following his designs closely
Also you are forgetting that he's been talking at length about how involved he has been in this, unless you think instead of paying him to work they have paid him to lie and then paid somebody else to imitate John Howes work instead, but hey that level of mental gymnastics would be nothing new to /teevee/
Nobody cares, homosexual.
It's not chain. It's worse. Look at the high res version up the thread. It's scale mail. Or supposed to be. Which was never made as leggings.
Some moronic designer at Amazon saw a picture of scale mail and said "That would be so cooooool!" without researching what it is, and how it was used.
This whole thing is the biggest fricking clown car Hollywood has ever created. A bunch of smug millenial c**ts who think they're making a masterpiece, when all we can see is a torn up copy of LOTR with a pile of shit on it.
Howe kind of sucks as an artist, tbh. Compared to Lee, he's a amatuer. Would explain why this shit show looks bad.
I'd bet there are legalities, they can't touch anything from the Jackson movies - sets, costumes, nothing, and Lee is so woven into everything in Jackson's movies, they probably have to run everything by the lawyers to make sure Jackson and New Line don't sue.
>I'd bet there are legalities, they can't touch anything from the Jackson movies - sets, costumes, nothing, and Lee is so woven into everything in Jackson's movies, they probably have to run everything by the lawyers to make sure Jackson and New Line don't sue.
>face/off 2
WHAT
What is that about Face/Off 2?
KINO
that dinner looks pretty cool
yeah, nice set design
I wonder if this is going to be Doriath.
It's Lindon
Incels will cry about this even though it looks just like the movies
the movies used Enya songs in the end credits. these will use Lil' Wayne. And you will slurp it up because you worship Black folk.
Unlikely
Anon, she's literally magic. She'd crack your skull open so majestically it'd make Conan the Barbarian blush.
It's not Tolkien at all. It's literally a bunch of rainbow-hairds taking someing they didn't create, and shitting all over it so humanity's dead weight can feel included.
She would utterly mog you mate, Galadriel is literally one of the greatest elves that ever lived. Both physically and mentally.
Then it's bad casting and cringe characterization
>bad casting
Nah
>cringe characterization
One of the better directions to go with her character imo
hey i'm new to 4 chan can any of u show me around this fourum
Frick nuLOTR, but Modfy a qt.
you can't post until you have lurked for 5 years.
>SHE CUTE.
Dibs.
how to get a qt celtic gf bros?
why is she manspreading
What's going to happen when a gang Of Orcs captures her
Same thing that happens to her when she gets captured by Numenoreans....
can someone post the webm of her in that skirt dancing like a complete qt
look at this shit, i think Anya is gonna have to step up her qt game
I will now watch your show. Hopefully there's a scene where shes in her yoga pants + barefoot.
>FACE/OFF 2
It's going to have trannies, isn't it?
Dayum this b***h's thighs are hot.
I worked on a few Galadriel story episodes and from what I've seen, its all "stronk woman" writing. Not Ellen Ripley, more like Rey or capeshit tier character writing. prepare yourselves.
does she walk around in her leggings showing off her thighs and butt?
Prepare myself for what? I'll either not watch it or pirate the first episode and watch it out of morbid curiosity. If anyone here is under any illusions of it being good then they are fools. At best it'll be bland and inoffensive, at worse it'll be a repeat of mistakes we've seen before.
>I worked on a few Galadriel story episodes and from what I've seen, its all "stronk woman" writing. Not Ellen Ripley, more like Rey or capeshit tier character writing. prepare yourselves.
man Cinemaphile would have seethed at Xena so hard, even with the rampant fanservice
Whew, lad
Wasn't Galadriel always one of the strongest non-Maiar characters in the setting, especially back when she was an active warrior? The only way I can see it working as a protagonist is if they really, really play up her inhuman, otherworldly nature, and avoid any sort of quirky personality flaws.
>avoid any sort of quirky personality flaws.
nah they wont, probably play them up and give her something to develop from.
I imagine they will play up her pride, adventurousness, anger and sorrow (death of her brothers). Alot of things to pull from
She was never portrayed by Tokien as an active warrior.
When did Galadriel become Griffith of the Band of the Hawk?
someone edit her as Femto
She looks beautiful, incel. Cry and seethe some more.
I can't wait for you homosexuals to label Galadriel a 'girlboss', like that wasn't exactly how Tolkien wrote her
Yeah, I can't wait for the shills to say stupid moronic shit for a terrible show that I'll never fricking watch.
i wanna frick her so bad
No women look physically intimidating but if you’ve ever been around a woman in a position of power like a CEO, high ranking officer they can project strength and make you a little uneasy
This would be cool if it was claymore instead of LOTR.
Alas
Has an actor for Celeborn been picked? Galadriel's been married to him for a thousand years by the time the TV show starts.
No, not yet. He's not going to appear in the earlier seasons.
He's not in s1, don't know when he will appear or if he's even been cast yet.
Galadriel will get stranded on a raft all alone and wet with a young handsome Numenorean man though.
Based writers.
I thought the first season was going to start in the 1st age to show Galadriel's backstory. Otherwise I don't know why she'd be running around in armor and adventuring by herself. It's been a while since I read the silmarillion but I was under the impression that, after the disastrous battles at the beginning of the Noldor war with Morgoth, Galadriel mostly renounced the ideas of the glory of war and spent most of her time chilling with Melian.
>I thought the first season was going to start in the 1st age to show Galadriel's backstory
Yeah but I dont think its alot, some stuff of her in Valinor with Finrod when shes young, maybe some other bits but will move into the start of the 2nd age relatively quickly
She not adventuring my or for herself, but working under Gil-galads command
*by or for herself
Also to add, Galadriel's movements and activities in the 2nd age are a complete mess and with some huge gaps. Christopher Tolkien stated as much so there's loads of room to do stuff with her without impacting the established events too much.
They can't touch the first age with this show, only the second, and only the material from the Appendices.
>They can't touch the first age with this show
....
they can, they already showed valinor and the two trees
Elves are categorically unintimidating, but that doesn't change the fact that in the Silmarillion they are extremely bloodthirsty and constantly at war. Some, likely with more eloquent language, might say that this juxtaposition is not only the point, but part of the charm.
elves
She cute.
I will now watch your dumpsterfire fanfiction.
