I get that Celeborn isn't really anyone's favorite character, but the dude has been through the ringer lately.

The Hobbit film trilogy had weird romantic undertones between Gandalf and Galadriel. No idea whose idea that was. And this show does him even dirtier by barely having Galadriel acknowledge his existence when Sauron-- to her knowledge-- may be responsible for his death. "Wah, he killed my brother. Wah... oh yeah, my husband's gone too but I'm ONLY going to mourn Finrod."

It's really odd because the dude seems like he'd be rife for character work in the hands of better writers. A veteran of many battles, including the first battle of Beleriand? A distrust for Dwarves stemming from the sack of Doriath? If anything he should be the Commander of the Northern Armies. There's a lot of potential there.

And you kinda need him to, you know, make Celebrian. God, Celebrian should have been this show's Galadriel. Yeah, she's at least 1000 years old by the time the One Ring is forged, but at least she's still considerably younger to a point you can sort of justify the impetuousness and arrogance of Morfydd Clark's character.

I know the show's logic is "psh, normies don't know them" but, again, in good hands they could have made them stars.
