The old white guys cast as the elf high king and councilors look like a bunch of hair-salon poofters and metro-sexual politicians. Their decision to disband military forces makes no sense at all, considering that the high king admits that he knows "the shadow" is still extant somewhere. Apparently, he does not want to stir up any trouble by keeping Galadriel around to find "the shadow".
The whole thing about Gil-Galad essentially exiling Galadriel back to Valinor was bizarre.
