Wrong.

Galadriel only took part in the kin slaying. She never led armies for anything else. The writers have already said Celeborn is dead for the series. So obviously, you aren’t up to date on the statements they’ve made.

They are hinting at having wizards, another thing the show runners have said,even though their should not be any in the second age. Again, you are not as informed as to what these people are saying in interviews.

No Numenor Queen ever led soldiers into battle. Miriel was forced to wed At-Pharazon, she never ruled on her own.

Galadriel is stubborn, prideful and wants power. She is also feminine, ethereal and intelligent. There is no need to turn her into a Xena, warrior princess rip off.

She is a Mary Sue Karen now. A travesty to one of the greatest characters in fantasy fiction.

It’s great your enjoying the Amazon fan fic of representation, stilted and horrible dialogue, and events that never were referenced by Tolkien.

She is described by Tolkien as a leader of the host of Fingolfin. In every instance of Tolkien lore a host means army. Granted, whether or not she picked up a sword again during the Wars of Beleriand we don’t know, but it most certainly wouldn’t be beyond her.

And it's fine you have no interest -- I understand. I simply said the show was just OK -- not great, but not bad -- and it definitely steps outside of Tolkien canon. But I'm not seeing the level of wokeness folks are claiming is there.
