#Now they've thrown out a huge thematic portion of their source material

[thefollow-spot]

I think the writers of Rings of Power really fucked up when they decided to make Galadriel the only elf with substantial trauma about the War of Wrath/the war in Beleriand in general. This was a long war in a culture with a long memory, and so much of the Second Age can be read as a direct (traumatically influenced) response to those wars. To make Galadriel out as not only unusual, but unreasonable for holding onto this trauma is a massive blunder.
