Comments by "Ronin Dave" (@RoninDave) on "Galadriel: How NOT To Write A Likable Character | Asmongold Reacts" video.
The irony is in their attempt to make this all powerful female warrior Mary Sue was that Galadriel was OP to begin with in all of Tolkien's variations. She was the most fair, the most wise, and most powerful of the elves still in Middle Earth. ROP took this top tier character and reduced her to a mouth-breathing brute. Tolkien's Galadriel had grace and poise while ROP's version was a blundering spoiled brat with all the charm of a rabid weasel.

@be1mont_lotr I've read the books. You are babbling nonsense to defend a show that doesn't resemble Tolkien in the slightest. Never did Galadriel express revenge over her brother's death. In all versions, she ducks out of the Wars of Beleriand after the First Kinslaying.

ROP Galadriel is completely lacking in wisdom which was a fundamental trait of her character in Tolkien's works.

@Marko-wi1lb I think it was their own failed fantasy series they decided to shoehorn into Tolkien knowing they could make money that way

Even fan fiction would be more respectful and follow closer the narrative and characters of the source material. ROP was someone's lackluster fantasy story that they crammed into an existing property which had a well-established fan base in effort to get some attention. It's creative hijacking (without the creativity). This is why everything seems off because they just swapped the names of characters and places of their crappy fantasy world and put Tolkien's names in their place but little was done about the overall depth of Tolkien's works.
