However, note that Galadriel is supposed to be over six feet tall, and her Teleri name is Nerwen - man-maiden - because she used to tussle with the boys back in the day. She's "a match for both the loremasters and the athletes of the Eldar in the days of their youth" and "she was then of Amazon disposition and bound up her hair as a crown when taking part in athletic feats".
- mcv 4y agoYeah, I have absolutely no problem with Galadriel fighting. I do have a problem with her being dismissed as a nobody by her nephew the king, her getting on that boat without Celeborn, or her trying to swing across an entire ocean. I know that she's athletic, but there's just no logic in any of that. I do understand why they did it: they wanted her to end up in Numenor. But they did that in a poor way, and for poor reasons, because the destruction of Numenor isn't supposed to happen until millennia later. The rings haven't even been forged yet!
- cygx 4y agoI feel you. "Thankfully", my memory of how these things were supposed to happen is foggy at best, so I'll be able to enjoy the series on its own merits...
