I sometimes think of Galadriel as the “girl of all time” which feels rude to Luthien. But like Luthien is objectively more powerful but she’s also too perfect. Galadriel has that Noldor Messiness to her and proper ambition for power and ruling lands of her own. Luthien’s moments of Power are protecting her little human boyfriend which I mean good for her but it’s not as interesting. Tolkien trying to backpedal Galadriel’s role in the rebellion was a mistake imo because her being actively involved in this rebellion and still power-hungry even well into the third age where being an evil queen is still so tempting to her is like the main appeal of her to me.

#lotrop was very good at giving me Galadriel Noldo Moments #I'll always be able to grant it that. when she was about to kill people to steal their ships was soooo funny #but I think they could have gone Further. especially if she's the only one bringing the noldor energy here #I just really missed the temptation for power. it was mostly vengeance stuff.#my take on the many galadriel+celeborn versions is the one I accept is the one that makes her The Worst #which thereby makes her the best
