Galadriel

I found out recently that I have the same personality type as Galadriel. It seems fitting, as she is my favorite character/role model. As I said before (in another topic), there really needs to be more male figures like that.

I voted a while ago that she's pretty cool. I actually like her way more now that I've read The Silmarillion. Seriously, she crossed the Helcaraxë and survived!

[Kitsune]

I do not get the common myth that she sits around and does nothing. Do people not see that she helps from the background, protecting her people and fighting the rise of Sauron? The Hobbit trilogy helps illustrate this, thankfully.

Yes, I love the scene from BOTFA with Saruman & Elrond Y Galdriel & Gandalf. So awesome!

That is my favorite scene out of both the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies.

Spoilers for Silmarillion.

She leads a rebellion against the Valar. That's why the One Ring is her 'test'.

No, she was saving her people from serten death! and they were going to stop morgoth! (it was against the Valars orders if that's what you are referring to though) and Galadriel her self was not so called "rebelling" she sort of had to..(because all her family were going to help)

I haven't voted because I find Galadriel very emotionally confusing and I'm not sure what my opinion of her is. The main feelings I get from her are scary and fascinating but I also feel the need to not be a huge fan and generally not feel strongly about her at all, purely because most people think too much about her (or maybe not too much. She is a pretty awesome character) and I don't want to agree with anybeast.

[lass of something much]

that is such a typical "Teer thing" to say! XD
but really? scary? it's that one "Galadriel in the morning" seen?

[shisteer of nothing much]

Not scary in the way orcs or other evil creatures are. I just feel like her wisdom and foreknowledge are intimidating and I'd feel uncomfortable spending time with a beast that didn't constantly have a sparkle of humour in their eyes and knew exactly what you were thinking, plus a few things you pointedly weren't thinking.

Galadriel isn't creepy, but she is IMO really flippin' weird!

[lass of something much]

No, she's not, she is one of the most powerful elves in arda. She gets a bad name in the movie, though

To me, I think Galadriel, just like everyone else, was brilliantly cast in the films. Cate Blanchett was the most perfect choice for Galadriel!

She's the one who cemented Frodo's role as the Ringbearer and gave him the courage and strength to carry on even in his darkest moments, especially by giving him the Phial with the light of Eärendil's star. She put all the hopes of Middle-Earth in Frodo and assured him that he was indeed capable of bearing the Ring to Mordor, even if he didn't think he could do it himself. That's the most admirable thing about Galadriel to me.

"And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of Eärendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out."

Very well put, Tinar! Nice.

I really liked Galadriel when I first watched LOTR; great choice of actress. She has her scary moments, but overall I do like her character and admire her power! I haven't read the books in yonks, therefore cannot comment from that angle at this time.
