No, I don't think they're thinking that deeply about it. It's a series, he's a man, she's a woman, they're both main characters, so they have to be romantically involved. A platonic friendship is just not something that can happen between two hot main characters.
Everyone desperately wants the irrrrrrrrresistable Galadrrrriel. Except for her husband, who went to the cornerstore for milk centuries ago and never returned.
Because in these modern times, giant media companies like Amazon are trying to promote the idea that women must be with multiple men in order to be a true empowered feminist girlboss
TOLKIEN: Galadriel married Celeborn. Elrond marries Celebrian and have Arwen together. AMAZON: How about Elrond and Galadriel kiss? ME: I hate Rings of Power 😢
Ikr? Imposter Galadriel treats Imposter Elrond like her annoying kid brother. The show has been shipping her with Imposter Sauron. Even within the context of this ghastly "story" they've written, this makes no sense.

When Patrick and Payne said "our motto is back to the books" I guess we just didn't understand that they meant "50 shades of Grey" as the books. Calling it Fan Fiction is even sketchy because that would imply that the people writing it are actually FANS of Tolkien's work not just cultural vandals.

@@rachels6808 I understand completely, This Rings of garbage pisses me off way more than what Disney has done to Star Wars because Lucas himself sold Star Wars to Disney, he is alive to speak out against it if he wanted to. Tolkien is not, hell Christoper is not, it's VERY clear why they removed Tom Shippey from involvement with the production he would have lost his mind I am guessing. The fact that Tolkien's Grandkids sold his work is often used as some sort of validation for what has been done to the story, when for me it is just validation for the fact that they are money hungry garbage who don't value real art.
Next week Sauron discovers Elrond's tryst with Galadriel, demands Galadriel choose between her two paramours. Don't miss the next episode of The Days of our Rings.
I still want to see an Ent and Ent wife relationship. It should be long and slow, maybe a kiss that last 4 episodes. It could be flash backs between scenes.
Remember when McKay and Payne claimed they always referred back to the books when deciding on elements of RoP? I do, you all do. It seems 'hacks on' and 'hacks off' didn't. In spectacular fashion, with respect to 'The Kiss' Amazon, just pull the plug, ffs.
I laughed my ass off during this scene. How can people defend this pile of garbage? I once saw someone saying the fight scenes were ON PAR with the PJ trilogy….
I physically gagged when I read the title. I haven't been watching of course, so I've been watching rant channels (and parts from my sis) to keep up. Jesus, he's like two compared to her in age! Celeborn and Celebrian are somewhere shaking their heads with disappointment, my god! I knew that the production were trying to be all slick with their Guy-ladrial and sore-ass shipping but this!!!!! Literally disgusting!🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
So excited for the Pitch Meeting for this season - Writer Guy: so Elrond has to negotiate with the Orcs to free Galadriel. Producer Guy - make em kiss! Writer Guy: What? Producer Guy: yea yea yea, make em kiss! Writer Guy (shuffling through Tolkien books): but sir, that's his mother-in-law! Producer Guy: oooo kissing your Mother-in-Law while she's a prisoner is TIGHT!
No... In fact with luck this garbage will actually promote his works to an even wider audience!!! Who are hungry for the actual source material! Because this show deviates from it sooo wildly, it uses the Lord of the Rings title as a marketing ploy only, to try and sell us this show!!!
There is only one way to fix it: There is no way in hell this Galadriel is the same Galadriel from the Lord of the Rings Books and therefore has to die in some sort of an orc attack. Afterwards there has to be an elven mother who names her daughter for some unknown reason after this Galadriel. This Galadriel has to go immediately.
Except Galadriel is one of the first, one of the oldest. Thousands of years older than Elrond who later marries her daughter. So a new Galadriel could not work. Then again they don't care about the lore anyway
I think it is fully possible given the cognitive strength of the showrunners to not know what they were doing. I am not sure they ever know what they're doing.
Yes, this interaction was done with pure malice toward the fans and contempt for canon. I wonder if it's not Payne & McKay's parting finger gesture to the world since this show is all but dead. What a disappointing WASTE.
Galadriel getting with Elrond, you know her son in law? Don't even Vampires have rules against this? At least we know Elrond wrote the original Stacy's mom.
I would not suppose that the showrunners are deliberately mocking, insulting, defiling, or otherwise deliberately undermining Tolkien's work. I think it is more that they simply don't care. They will write the story they want to write, with the characters they want, and consider Tolkien's legendarium simply as a source of material to mine for names, geography (when convenient), quotes, and some events. Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity; and these writers have demonstrated their stupidity and appalling lack of craftsmanship, time and time again.
At this point, with their lack of success and so much criticism, it is very plausible that now they just want to punch back at the fanbase for not accepting and validating their stupidity. Even in the gaming world, a certain consultant from a certain agency admitted to wanting to burn the industry to the ground through their creative works. The same sort are in the writing rooms of RoP and I would never attribute enough value into them as people to suggest they were above the same retaliatory mindset.
Next seasons: Celeborn will be dead from defeating a balrog, and comes back to life sped up by Mandos. But he's different and galadriel doesnt love him anymore so will return to Elrond and they'll have Arwen together. This way both Glorfindel and Celeborn will be ruined next to Elrond and Galadriel that already have been ruined by S1-2 so far.
Galadriel and Elrond are distant cousins as well as in-laws. So, this is incestuous. Twitter nutters keep trying to defend this by saying, "It's not supposed to be romantic." Then what was up with that swelling music? Why did Elrond not kiss her on the head or hug her instead? The weirdo writers want a Sauron/Elrond/Galadriel thruple. Really gross.
Even most shills aren't willing to defend that part. And the few that do are just weakly making up very bad defenses like "it's a ruse to give her that pin", as if he couldn't have achieved that in a dozen other ways. At the very least, no one so far seems to be actually liking this scene because they want to ship these two.
Malice. You don't laugh at malice. You don't laugh at something this disrespectful. Not something this stupidly performed, as a pathetic justification for the supposed cover. Laughing is a way to let something pass. Laughing still lets something survive. This, and its makers, and their every legacy, should not.
Things work differently in the Elven world. Emotions are heightened, feelings of strong affection and kinship expressed. Elrond whispers emotionally "Forgive me" to Galadriel because he will not yield Galadriel's Nenya's ring to Adar in return for Galadriel's life. And Galadriel wouldn't have it any other way. Galadriel whispers fiercely back to Elrond, "WIn!". Galadriel does not want Elrond to surrender her Nenya's ring to Adar. Galadriel made Elrond promise to pursue Sauron at all costs, even if it meant putting that above or costing Galadriel her life. Elrond is absolutely heartbroken and distraught that he cannot put Galadriel's life above giving power to the enemy, Adar and his Orcs. Elrond knows his answer to Adar, refusing to give up the ring, is essentially a death sentence for Galadriel. So Elrond expresses his deep affection for Galadriel by giving her a tender kiss, essentially expressing his deep love and affection for Galadriel. That it's absolutely KILLING him that he can't save her life even thought that possibility has been offered to him by Adar. His kiss to Galadriel is his message to Galadriel is that he does not love Galadriel any the less, by refusing to save his dearest friend's life. In the 1st episode, in Season 1, Elrond said that Galadriel was conflicted and here is Elrond suffering a deep conflict - saving Galadriel's life verses trying to save Eregion and her Elven inhabitants.
Damn. Galadriel is really getting around, isn't she? Is this Amazon telling us that promiscuity is empowering? In a people that practice monogamy even through death...
I think it’s even worse. I think their idea of empowerment is making everything Galadriel does based off her being horny for whatever male character she has to interact with for the plot
RoP isn't just bad fan fiction it's a YA novel and that's who it's really meant for. It's meant for people who are not really into plot they are into "what ifs" and "OMG! Moments". The way RoP fans wet their undies over Sauron is just weird and gross, they swoon over him in the weirdest ways. Tolkien deserves better than this.
I’m convinced the only keem is still keeping him around is getting payback for all the crap boogie put him through over the years. They deserve each other
It's *possible* that the showrunners are intentionally antagonizing the fan base, it wouldn't be the first time. This just seems like one of those "don't attribute malice to something that can just as easily be attributed to incompetence". They likely did it to drum up controversy, but they just don't have the competence to do it in a way that makes people want to WATCH the thing.
"Safe space work environment" DEI nonsense, you can't put an actress in a real cage anymore without getting trouble from the union. (But you can still use real guns like in RUST)
I don't care about anything they do or even how they portray the important characters. I know the books and to me what they do has no more weight than a fart. But I hate how it might mislead the younger generation about what Tolkien's work is. I remember how some young people were introduced to Star Wars with Rey Palplatine and had never known about the original films. Some did watch them later and realised what garbage Disney had produced, but some don't/won't. People who fight to protect Tolkien's legacy have a place in my heart.
I don't watch this dreadful show, even though I have APrime... I don't want to give them even 1 more "view" to claim! Instead, I listen to every Elaine vid, and laugh with u!
this is another proof for my theory, that Payne and McKay are the most knowledgable Tolkien experts of our time... they avoid every single piece of lore accuracy like the plague... and here i was just thinking Hanlon's Razor applies at the start of the show, but nope... there cannot be so many coincidences, it MUST be intentional.
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed the video make sure to leave a LIKE!

RoP isn't just bad fan fiction it's a YA novel and that's who it's really meant for. It's meant for people who are not really into plot they are into "what ifs" and "OMG! Moments". The way RoP fans wet their undies over Sauron is just weird and gross, they swoon over him in the weirdest ways. Tolkien deserves better than this.
Galadriel is just hooking up with everyone 😂 just wow , what they have done to this awesome character
Just wait for Gandalf and Tom kiss in the next episode 😀
This is nauseating. Mercifully, John and Christopher don't have to see what those hacks McKay and Payne did to their oeuvre.
Simon Tolkien is an adviser to the show.
I’m convinced the only keem is still keeping him around is getting payback for all the crap boogie put him through over the years. They deserve each other
It's *possible* that the showrunners are intentionally antagonizing the fan base, it wouldn't be the first time.
This just seems like one of those "don't attribute malice to something that can just as easily be attributed to incompetence". They likely did it to drum up controversy, but they just don't have the competence to do it in a way that makes people want to WATCH the thing.
They already called the fans "blatantly evil" in inverviews 2 years ago.
At least she didn’t get stuck in the drier.
I'm a big fan and I'm here to say I refuse to unite.
we should boycott amazon
This show man belongs on the CW.
side note just from that galadriel captured pic.....why does it look like she can squeeze through the bars and escape easily?
"Safe space work environment" DEI nonsense, you can't put an actress in a real cage anymore without getting trouble from the union. (But you can still use real guns like in RUST)
How people couldnt see this coming since the first episode?
Conceptually, the kiss shouldn’t be an issue, they are doing a deception .
I don't care about anything they do or even how they portray the important characters. I know the books and to me what they do has no more weight than a fart.
But I hate how it might mislead the younger generation about what Tolkien's work is.
I remember how some young people were introduced to Star Wars with Rey Palplatine and had never known about the original films. Some did watch them later and realised what garbage Disney had produced, but some don't/won't. People who fight to protect Tolkien's legacy have a place in my heart.
I don't watch this dreadful show, even though I have APrime... I don't want to give them even 1 more "view" to claim!
Instead, I listen to every Elaine vid, and laugh with u!
Wasn’t the kiss only to pass along the metal “tool” she used to escape?
Nobody panic.. This is deliberate.. It is deliberate!!
this is another proof for my theory, that Payne and McKay are the most knowledgable Tolkien experts of our time... they avoid every single piece of lore accuracy like the plague...
and here i was just thinking Hanlon's Razor applies at the start of the show, but nope... there cannot be so many coincidences, it MUST be intentional.
They would rather make porn to get a reaction from the fans. These actors actually did not object to doing it. 😢
