By contrast, the way they portrayed Aragorn in the films was perfect. They were able to show his healer side, his wisdom side, his sensitive side, his leadership side, and yes his badass warrior side too. He seemed so real because he was multifaceted. Galadriel in RoP is so one-dimensional with stupid lines, and frankly the actress doesn't bring anything extra to the table.
I'm hoping S1 is kinda like The Force Awakens where not a ton happens, but it sets up S2 to knock it out of the park.

It’s amazing what a couple of thousand years can do to a person!
Fwiw, I liked her and her driven focus especially knowing that she had to go through these and other trials to learn balance. The characters’ flaws are apparent to me to help her grow and develop into something more. But YMMV!
