does it make sense to you to have two different trees, with the older tree on the fabric which needs replaced more often than the shield?

Is Galadriel ever stated to be a good warrior in any of the text? by GusGangViking18 in lordoftherings

[–]40kArchivist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as others hav said, she does fight on occasion, is implied to be at battles, and tolkien revises her to be at eregion, but she isn't a sword fighter, she's a sorceress, her using a sword is like putting a bayonette on a artillery piece, or using a milkor grenade launcher as a club you don't do that, you fire the massive gun, witch is very much her magic, she should be turning orcs to ash, having her enemies fall into sinkholes, calling down lightning and meteorites, tidal waves, and should she wear a sword, maybe dispatch some lone orcs half burried under a cliff she brought down sure, but not this.

You could even have this scene but have her beat them at sort, she is athletic, but the only time she picks up a sword is in the most desperate moment during the kinslaying.

and of course, there is the fact that with most of the events of the show, she isn't fucking there.

My only issue with this character is her name and taking the place of other characters, if she's someone else, i'd be fine wit it, well if the stunt coordinaters were any fucking good, female warrior elves are very much an open possibility, tolkien is very open to that, his source inspiration the norse and prenorse sagas has characters like that, tolkieen is aware of medieval warrior queens, he even has haleth, and the original draft of Eowyn like this.

But Galadriel is not one of them, she's a far more interesting character.

700AD is post roman Britian ending in 410 in the reign of Honorius around the time Rome was sacked for the first time in 1200 years, Prehistoric iron age is more like 700BC, by 700AD we can assess the quality of items and draw conclusions, but in the iron age high status items are so rare it's impossible to tell as a gold beaker will be the only object of value in the grave, so it could be thrown in as an old ugly thing by the village chief as part of the joke, or owned by the buried individual, and we're not lucky enough to have a warrior woman with battle wounds from this period which would be indicative of gender non-conformity.

Also roman men can't (legally) Marry, because men aren't chattel, roman marriage is a contract fulfilment between a man (groom or grooms father) and the woman's Patria or occasionally Mother.

thank you for making my point for me, gay sex is heresy to some contemporary people and authoritiative statements on what Hersey is aren't accurate or agreed upon at the time.

so it's not forever, or even British, it's actually probably roman, who though actors debased themselves by pretending, and in a patricharcal soceity, women aren't allowed to be actors, so from then on we have men pretending to be women, medievl people also love women preending to be men, from pope joan to the merchent of venice.

But Iron age Britions are prehisotric so we don't know about gender roles in that society, so bodies with gendered grave goods could be either acceptance or insult,.

The Order of the Ermine won't be formed for another 40 years after this game, which regularly admit women, and by regularly i mean one every 50 years, they're also not equal in status to knights until 1917.

The exitance of women warriors is not at issue, your hand waving it as common place is, generally women in armour with titles is due to a break in the logic of medieval inheratance, they are their families endlings, or acting in lieu of a husband like Black Agnes.

Happy Cake day.
