galadhir: a beautiful elf with brown skin and black eyes stares at the viewer, a tiny luminous fairy on her right hand side (elf queen)
I have to admit that I stopped watching Amazon's Rings of Power half way through the first episode, because I didn't really recognize any of the characters or the world as recognizably the Middle-earth I loved, and also because by that time I was bored. But every scene I have seen of it has made me want to go 'Oh, God, No. You don't understand this world at all.' So I was delighted to read this article from A Collection Of Unmitigated Pedantry and find out that a proper historian agreed with me :)

Collections: Why Rings of Power’s Middle Earth Feels Flat

I can't wait for the next article which deals with things he thinks probably only niggle him and no one else - I suspect those will be the things that I also can't bear.

Thank you! I agree, she is very poised when she's introduced in LOTR.
