[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8802985, member: 5889"] I feel like that was reinforced when Elrond was talking to Durin and strongly implied that he let him win the test of endurance. Basically if Elrond can outhammer a dwarf, its reasonable that Galadriel could swim across the sea. Elves are just nuts, its not Galadriel specifically. People talk the "Mary Sue" label with Galadriel but I really don't see it. To me, a Mary Sue acts perfect and generally has perfect things happen to them. But in Galadriel's case, her anger and bloodlust continues to tip over the apple cart. Her men betrayed her and mutinied, she got rebuked and thrown in jail in Numenor, she was so obsessed with using Halbrand to unite the people against the orcs that she didn't see him for what he is...etc. The irony is the one time Galadriel finally calmed down and spoke to the Queen Regent as a person, rather than spitting fire, she got her desire....and she calmed down due to Halbrand's council. Halbrand sees her weakness, and has been manipulating it for his own ends. That's far from a mary sue. [/QUOTE]
