[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8814737, member: 23751"] Would have been nice if she chose to fight in defiance of destiny instead of capitulating to Sauron without so much a post encounter whimper. Fighting in defiance of destiny is going to every elf who will listen to tell them that he was Sauron in disguise and she can prove it. She doesn't do that, though. She loses and then lets him go off to destroy the world, rather than trusting her own strength(which she just found out in no uncertain terms wasn't enough). Refusing to 1) believe what you are told and know to be true, and 2) think you're better than a Maia actually are Noldor flaws, especially in Celebrimbor who was a grandson of Feanor. It would have been FAR more Tolkien for her to actually be Galadriel and tell them, and then have Celebrimbor and the others refuse to listen and think their strength would keep the rings safe from Sauron. That's not what would happen if she told them. [/QUOTE]
