I do understand they desparately wish to create some character development for Galadriel. Yet - she's still a tousands of years old immortal. You gotta lose something along the way. In this case magic and elvishness. I even get the concept of having her portraied as a person difficult to deal with - i GET that. But that portayal to me is NOT on spot, it is vastly exaggerated, and it is bedded within a storyline that does not convince me on several crucial spots.These spots were, i already mentioned, her two suicide attempts (and you cannot simply discuss these away as "bad choice"... unless she is to be conceived as a character for whom jumping off a ship on the middle of the ocean or diving the same ocean during a storm has no severe life-threatening consequences) and her irrational and weirdly told behaviour on Numenor (which also is not simply to dismiss as "feanorian" arrogance and PTSD) - they literally put one of the mightiest characters on Arda into a prison cell, have her sneak out of a restrained guest apartment disguising herself as human by hiding her pointy ears ,smilingly beat up prisonguards and sneak into the kings bedchamber at night, turn the Queen to disguise a military campaign as an escort mission with a small guard of unexperienced rookies, and convince an obvious criminal without any moral compass to become a king instrumental to fight against Sauron and desert-orcs hiding in holes in Nurn... that is psychopathic to a degree it makes my jaw drop.
If you still think this is good writing and characterisation on spot i suggest we simply drop the discussion, because we won't find any common ground on that issue, having completely different definitions of what both terms mean. In other words i give up, i do not wish to convince anybody of my position.I surrender.What they do works well for some people as it seems and i don't know why.
