Change in Galadriels character is sexist
Yep. You read that right. Despite Galadriel being this great ninja badass whose most important possession is his dead brothers dagger the show (and the change in her character) is sexist. This is coming from a girl who loves female characters that take part in combat and are great warriors.
In cannon Galadriel is 6’4 woman with amazon disposition who is in par with all the loremasters and athletes of the eldar and along with her uncle Feanor considered the greatest of their people even though Galadriel is considered wiser of the two. She is proud, athletic, wise and ambitious. She didn’t leave Valinor in order to defeat Morgoth but because “she had dreams of far lands and dominions that might be her own to order as she would without tutelage”. She wasn’t granted pardon from the valar at the end of the first age and was banned from returning to Valinor. Her response? She didn’t care. She didn’t want to return.(If I remember correctly, she basically said that she had done nothing wrong and therefore didn’t need forgiveness.) In the second age she got married to the love of her life and had a daughter, who would go on to marry Elrond. When Sauron began to stir in Middle-earth again he was noticed by Galadriel even though at the time she or no one else knew it was Sauron. She however noticed there was a controlling evil, and that it was spreading beyond the Misty mountains. She also thought this ‘residue of evil’ could only be fought with an alliance of all its enemies. As a result she and her husband moved east and established Eregion. When Sauron came to Eregion in disguise she didn’t trust him and he “perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavoured therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy". She did lot of other stuff, but it would literally take me too long to list them all.
If this doesn’t scream a powerful, strong woman to you, I don’t know what does. Now when we look at Rop Galadriel she is weak in comparison. She is basically a subject to Gil-Galad, has established no realms, has no desire to rule, is reckless and impulsive and isn’t respected. She’s a young, angry girl with a sword who single mindedly chases a goal set by her brother. While a strong warrior woman is a character I usually like and find inspirational, Rop Galadriel is not it. She is mean, stupid and has no depth. Sadly, this is the case with most of “strong female characters” in modern media especially if made by men. If you want an example of a female warrior archetype done well, look at Eowyn. She is young, angry, independent and a great fighter, but she is also desperate, lost, sad, ambitious and complex. She ends up choosing life over death in the end and finding her happiness.
Another problem with Rop Galadriel is rejecting her more feminine strength and changing it into more traditionally masculine one. It not only makes her weaker but also spreads the message that in order to be strong, you have to embody traditionally masculine traits: aggressiveness, toughness and being emotionally hardened. Ironically, in Tolkiens world characters who embrace their traditionally more feminine qualities, empathy, kindness and caring, along side their masculine qualities, are the ones that are the strongest.
As for appearance, Galadriel is extremely beautiful, but also tall and athletic in canon. However, in the show she is beautiful yes, but she is shorter than the male characters and slim, but not muscular. I don’t know about you, but I’d call that sexist. In the Lotr movies she is at least tall.
To summarize, Amazon took a powerful woman in her own right who represented more traditionally feminene and quiet form of strength, who was known to be extremely tall and athletic and as such most likely muscular, who was far sighted and established realms and started preparing the world to stand against Sauron in concrete ways, who people listened and loved and whom Sauron recognized at once as his greatest adversary and obstacle and turned her into small, toned at best, angry girl who thinks only of herself, is no ruler, has established no realms, is sidelined, makes stupid, spur of the moment decisions, whose only effort in fighting Sauron is trying to find him in order to defeat him with weapons and commands no respect. (And who might have a romance with halbarad, who might be Sauron or the witch king.) This change is sexist because it shows how amazon refuses to acknowledge her quiet, traditionally more feminene strength as good enough and gives her masculine traits and strength but make her look feminene and conveniently attractive and removing more masculine aspects of her appearance (height and muscle.)
P.s. I’m not trying to say “women have to be feminene and can’t be masculine, but rather use words masculine and feminene to describe qualities that traditionally are associated with men and women. Personally I believe anyone can be just as masculine or feminene as they want regardless of gender.

I am so disgusted by what Rings of Power did to Galadriel.
First of all, according to canon, Galadriel was the one who didn't trust Annatar. She was literally one of the few Elves who was suspicious of him. Celebrimbor is the one who Sauron most successfully manipulated. So what does Rings of Power do? It has Galadriel be completely tricked and manipulated by Sauron the whole time, of course. But it doesn't stop there... it also gives them a completely bizarre and unjustifiable romantic relationship. Seriously, what the hell?
Even if it weren't for Celeborn—you know, the guy Galadriel is actually married to, the one who gave her that name—it's literally canon that she wasn't fooled by Annatar. She wouldn't have a fucking will-they-won't-they romantic relationship with him, either.
And this storyline isn't just completely against canon, it also fucks up her story arc. Because now in the Rings of Power version of the story, Galadriel's temptation with the One Ring is just about a man she was romantically attached to. And her repudiation of Sauron is just her rejecting him.
In Tolkien's actual writing, Galadriel was not tricked by Sauron, and she hated him, and when it comes to the temptation of power it had nothing to do with a personal (let alone romantic) relationship with Sauron—why do I have to spell this out? She desired a realm of her own to rule, and the One Ring tempted her because with it she would have been able to delay the fading of Lothlórien.
But no. Amazon just has to shoehorn in some creepy romantic relationship between Galadriel and Sauron OF ALL PEOPLE. What the fuck. Who the hell thought this was a good plotline? Shitty writers always do this—they're like ooh look at me, I'm going to write a female main character, and then they make her entire plotline subservient to a man.
(This isn't even touching on all the other things wrong with the portrayal of Galadriel, like how the showrunners call her "young Galadriel" but she's literally older than most of the other characters in the show. Or how she's shown as this bratty young woman who has zero skill with diplomacy, instead of the wise leader she would be by the time of the Second Age. Or how she's canonically tall and athletic, but she's portrayed by a short, petite actress. Or how she's related to the Teleri, who had their boats stolen after the First Kinslaying, but in the show she tries to steal a boat...)
But seriously, a romantic relationship between Galadriel and Sauron? I knew this show was going to be shit, but wow. They really outdid themselves with this.
