  1. sauron didn't make the 3 elven rings. In the First Age, Galadriel study under a Maiar who protected a forest realm with her magic. Lothlorien was like a reproduction of that forest. So, the lore more explains how she came by her powers and why she had an enchanted woods. This show makes no sense of her revenge-driven character will somehow become the wise seer of the 3rd Age.

  2.  @togucvinw7  yes and no. They were made with the knowledge that Sauron gave them to make rings of power great and lesser which is why he claimed ownership of them. However, he specifically did not have a hand in their making nor ever touched them. This was explicitly stated in the LOTR

  3. good point about Legolas not being the main character. Side characters can be closer to perfect as they are on the side. Main characters who are perfect are boring and can also be annoying. I was fine with Legolas but I still would cut out some of the goofy acrobatic stuff - shield surfing and oliphant slaying. As for Galadriel being the main character they haven't done a good job setting it for her

  4. The lore explains how Galadriel became this wise sorcerer in an enchanted forest. In the Silmarillion, she study under the Maiar Melian who protected the realm of Doriath, a forest realm, with strong magic in the First Age. Lothlorien is a recreation of Doriath protected by a similar magic learned from Melian. This Second Age warrior princess Galadriel makes no sense in this context. How is she going to stop her quest for revenge when we know Sauron is going to come back in the Third Age? She's been willing to hunt him for centuries after the War of Wrath when there hasn't been any rumor or orc sightings apparently. Yet in the lore Isildur was killed by orcs just a few years after the Last Alliance. There would signs a-plenty in the Third Age to keep this warrior princess busy especially when Witch King arrives.
