This just made me sad about Galadriel because you can tell in season 2 her character is so muted and she even says to Adar that everything is now a dull grey. And when in episode 208 she wakes up after her fall, Gilgalad makes that joke about how its the longest she has been quiet or something like that.
I've always been a bit iffy about the way they talk to Galadriel on the show and it makes it worse because the show is lowkey a sausage fest so all her closest people are men constantly talking down to her and its like they dont like that she's different and think everything will be fine if she just listened and do what she is told.
She has to present herself in a certain way for them to accept her. Shes right about everything in season 1 but they dont listen and even Elrond betrays and its like none of them apologise. I'm not sure if the writers are trying to make a commentary on this or they just stumbled into it writing wise.
Even in the LOTRs when she first met Frodo i thought she was evil or something when I first watched it because she was kind of mean to Frodo and it seemed to contradict her lady of light persona.
Since Galadriel is my favourite character this is part of the reason why season 1 is my favourite season. She just had so much spark that is missing in season 2. It felt like they purposefully dimmed her light. I want to say its because Galadriel was grieving in season 2 but its obvious its because of the backlash her character got.
I hate that certain a demographic discovered the term "woke" cause now we cant have nuanced female characters or poc lest #they get upset and everyone seems to want to cater to #them.
I'm really glad Miv touched on the fact that a part of Galadriel is lost, it really played on screen like that. I love that her and Charlie have a really good read on their characters.
