" i copy pasted this comment because i found it profound
I feel exactly the same way as you do, Janko. I've never thought of it in the way you expressed it, but I can certainly relate. I'm not white but I've admired so many characters on tv and the movies over the past decades, NOT because they were white but because of who they were and what they represented and what they accomplished. Most recently, I've identified with the character of Jake Holman, U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer, 2nd class, in the Award-winning 1966 movie, "The Sand Pebbles". Jake Holman was a thorough professional who took his job and workmanship seriously when those around him didn't, arousing resentment from them. I've been in his position before because I take my job seriously.
I agree the race thing doesn't bother me at all and I've been against a lot of this culture war stuff we have had the last few years. This is a fantasy show, not a historical piece. Who cares.

Why is Galadriel behaving like some kind of haughty and immature alpha male in the series ? Isn't she supposed to be several centuries old and already smart and wise when the events depicted in the series happen ?
Well, Galadriel was kind of an ambivalent (somehow badass) character. I mean, even one of her names back in the day was Nerwen (man-maid). Especially during the time of Feanor and the fall of the Noldor she was quite shady (Tolkien-Letter 320: "in her youth a leader in the rebellion against the Valar (the angelic guardians). At the end of the First Age she proudly refused forgiveness or permission to return"). Tolkien himself, in letter 348, called Galadriel "of Amazon disposition".
@@Samoaell i agree but this Is the second Age, in which It Is Fair to assume She did not go around Like a Warrior killing orcs and hunting Sauron, which Is an idea Dumb in itself since he was very powerful and cunning, not Easy to find, expecially by a few elfs
@@alessandror6001 I think, you really have a point and there is definetely a bullshit-aspect of that character depiction of Artanis (;)). But nonetheless, even as a big fan of the legendarium, I can't help to really enjoy the show and I want to be positive and give it the benefit of the doubt, because I know how deep the makers engaged in the legendarium (they apparently even know some of the Tolkien-Letters by heart). And, because Galadriel is already a difficult and not that deeply developed character because of her late implementation into the legendarium, I think there is some scope of tolerance we can concede to in regards to the character Galadriel in the show. And we only know the first two episodes. There are still 48 hours to go. I wouldn't judge the Jackson-movies after 'concerning Hobbits'. Does it make sense what I say?
OMG!! I loved it when Galadriel declared: "There is a tempest in me! I am quadruple vaccinated and six time boosted against Covid-19 and that is why I can do what I can do," - hot tears started streaming down my cheeks. What a truthful telling of Tolkien's masterpiece! So brave and stunning!! 11 out of 10!!!

Love it, the armour was 15kg and hard to climb. That’s what people don’t climb in armour. Not even elves
Metal is a great insulator against freezing temperatures and makes perfectly fine lightweight garment for climbing.

Gotta confess, the first episodes were quite boring but after that it got better.
The big problem was the writing they need a better writer for the dialogues and shit that was the main problem tbh
At first I thought that too. But nowadays the first and second eps are my absolute favorite ones. Bayona’s directing was chef’s kiss.
I love the show
Galadriel and Sauron
