The unarmed Galahadriel wrestled five much larger male guards and strong armed...


...them all into her cell and she must have pick pocketed the cell door keys at the same time and locked them up all in a jiffy ! And finishes with a self satisfied little smirk for the bearded guy. What a farcical scene.

I call this cinematic phenomenon 'The Legend of the Superbitch'

reply

Yes she's gone beyond Galahadriel and is now Super Elf !

reply

And don't forget it only took her a couple of minutes to learn how to use the Force. And she was able to handle the Millennium Falcon better than Han Solo, and... that was Rey or Galadriel? It's getting hard to tell apart between Strong Independent Mary Sues, they all look like clones...

At least Daisy Ridley tried, and is likeable

reply

How dare you forgot to mention she can won a fight with a trained Jedi without a minutes of training!

reply

I've seen morons try to excuse it with "Elves were stronger back then". Yeah, stronger than normal men. Numenoreans are descended from Elros and are taller and stronger than normal humans.

While I agree, that the cinematic realization of this fight was pretentious, one should also understand, that this woman has powers. At least here: Galadriel vs Sauron - The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies(1)

The TV show isn't related to the Peter Jackson movies, and the movies themselves break the lore plenty on their own.

Girladriel Boss?

reply

She has dethroned Rey from Star Wars as the worst Mary Sue.

reply

It was pretty bad. I have defended this show a lot, but I am not going to defend that. The triumphant smile at the end really topped it off, Galadriel at her most unlikable.

reply

Quite a terrible scene. I don’t know how that got a screen test pass.

reply

It's as if the writers were really rushed for time or couldn’t be arsed to finish it. I expect the latter.

reply

It's not that difficult.

You have a couple of guards that are taking her. The warder calls one of them and for a moment Galadriel is left alone with one of the guards. One vs one, she doesn't let the opportunity pass and takes him down. The other guard comes back quickly, but it's again one vs one and she takes the second guard down. It took me 10 seconds to think a more credible scene.

Taking three guards down at the same time and pushing them inside a cell? That's ridiculous. C'mon, even one vs one, she wouldn't be able to take them down, but you can suspend disbelief if they hadn't made the scene feel so cartoonish and absurd.

reply

I'm sure that scene will get memed to oblivion with comical sound effects added to the guards and Galadriel brandishing a tickle stick!

reply

this gave me the idea to look it up on youtube and it is there. the scene is soooo not nearly as bad as you guys make it sound. it's dumb as fuck but it was barely even shown. there was no silly fight, the smirk was so subtle.

reply

The dudes behind her don't do anything. They stand on idle animation to wait for their turn. Then all of a sudden there are 4 guards in the cell when she shoves the final one in.

Then she just stands next to the cell door, and the guard doesn't put his hands through the bars to grab her neck. Just stands there with his hands on the bars to let her smile because she's a "badass".
