🧝Galadriel in the Amazon Series

Kudos to the excellent job Amelie Child Villiers did portraying young Galadriel in the early scenes of episode one.
 
There is a tempest in me!

Sorry. I just realized how versatile this gif could be.

Here's some art.

Is this Galadriel supposed to be walking on water?
And if so, what's with all the swimming in the series!

Anyway, I have to say I don't recall the following
scene, so I'm guessing it's from season 2.

And finally, a stunning sculpture!

Although not Galadriel, admittedly. I added it to support
my opinion that Galadriel is not in The Rings of Power!

And finally again: Galadriel according to a Tolkien-written
draft text in which she had white hair.

Note the ears.

🐾 for reflection.

By now, you should be aware of the fact that Rop series doesn't really care if one thing contradicts the other. :)

I'm wondering why you included Daenerys . .
Because, she is more Galadriel, then Galadriel in Rop.

In fact, Tyrion Lanister is more Galadriel, then Galadriel in Rop. :)
 
My guess is that they want to portray a modern character transformation in the series, as has been the recipe for success in many a modern film adaptation: from a young, angry teenage Galadriel, confused and blinded by circumstances, to a wise, mature and good-natured Galadriel, as she is known and could be considered a powerful role model.
This ambition is fine in principle, but there are a few problems:
1 - (especially for Tolkien fans) It doesn't fit the books, doesn't fit her age, and doesn't fit her role in the Second Age.
2 - (for everyone) It's just extremely bad, implausible and bunglingly realized. You can only feel ashamed when you see it. You hate her. She has a miserable character and is vicious.

Yes, it is based on the dreaded appeal to the mythical "modern audiences"
