The contrast of Galadriel, amid the darkness of Dol Guldur is really amazing. She is widely considered to be the most beautiful being in all of Middle Earth. She has been immortalized in song for ages, countless men and even other elves have fallen under the spell of her grace and beauty.

[@ripLunarBirdCLH]

You should've noticed already that Saruman hates Gandalf. He does not care if Gandalf dies. Yet when Galadriel requests his help - he doesn't dare to say no. He's afrair of Galadriel's anger far more than he hates Gandalf. This is why he waited so long with his betrayal. Galadriel. She kept him in check all those years. He knew all to well that Gandalf has Galadriel's support and that she can be just as terrible as Sauron himself when angered. Galadriel on the other hand walks alone into the fortress of Darkness. And this is the only time in entire series, LotR included, when we see her cold, cruel fury. She will not allow for Sauron to take away what is hers. She takes great risk to save Gandalf, because the nazgul are right. Her power is weakened. She could be defeated here if not for Saruman and Elrond. Especially Elrond, as he also wields one of the three elven rings. Gandalf made that mistake. He went alone and he was defeated.

[@togucvinw7]

I’m no Lotr expert but from what I’ve read in forum and videos I thought Saruman and Gandalf were Maiar , so shouldn’t they be even more powerful than Galadriel ? Why would Saruman fear a lesser being (unless he doesn’t remember that he was a Maiar) ?

[@Cem.Kahraman]

But Saruman is a Maiar. Even with the power given by a ring could she not fight and win against a Maiar. Or am I missing something here 🤔

[@mboniswankululeko8083]

Yes, Saruman, Gandalf and other 3 wizards were Maiar but Lady Galadriel was the oldest being in Middle Earth older than the moon itself and having Elf powers besides being a ring bearer Enya. She was powerful than Saruman. Also when wizards were sent to middle earth their powers were limited. According to the books it is Saruman that fought Sauron 🙄

[@shekhu5556]

Waoo what a explanation ...i was reading it again n again to feel it more from depth...

[@kaylamestriph9751]

@@mboniswankululeko8083 Galadriel was certainly not the oldest being in middle earth. Not even the oldest Elf in middle earth. That would evidently be Círdan of the havens, who learned ship craft from the Teleri and never returned to Valinor after leaving Arda for Aman. Círdan was already living in Beleriand when Galadriel and the Noldor first came to ME before the counting of days(pre first age) Galadriel is a daughter of Turgon Turombur, and the youngest sibling of Fëanor. She is the highest ranked Noldor still alive in middle earth, and was present in ME before the First age and the unchaining of Melkor.

The Greek gods were often portrayed naked as a show of their power and superiority over mortals. Mortals needed to cover themselves because of their fragility and weakness. Galadriel walks barefoot like a Greek goddess in the mortal plane right into an enemy stronghold. Freely flowing in the wind and with a wave of her hand, no other mortal character can compare to such a display.

[@rkbkirin5975]

[@lukecarroll4052]

This doesn't happen in the books, gandalf leaves to go deal with this so that the stakes are higher when bilbo and the dwarves deal with smaug and the 5 armies, then he shows up to save bilbo from the battle. Its not really fully explained what went on at dol guldur so the film makers were free to make this stuff happen.

I believe that Galadriel will be safe even without a help from Elrond or Saruman. She only cares for saving Gandalf's life and is protecting him at any cost. Both of them are from the perfect land, Gandalf was a Maia and Galadriel herself had grown and been taught among the Maias, she's much more powerful beyond any other elven of the third age are.

Scarlet Viking pretty sure she was scared of what the ghosts presence meant- up to this point it was just a theory that sauron had returned - given that only he can command the nine nazgul - their presence confirmed it was not a necromancer but sauron himself.

[@jiujiu]

It's strange to see the apparent love and reverence the elves have for Gandalf when they don't explicitly state in the movie what Gandalf really is. He's like what could be considered an angel in the Tolkien universe. He's extremely old and powerful. He's like one step below what Sauron is in celestial terms.

[@wulfheort8021]

Gandalf and Sauron are of the same kind, both of the Maiar, so no he is not a step below Sauron. Gandalf came to Middle-Earth with very limited power, as his task was to guide the free peoples. Sauron dedicated his entire being to Middle-Earth, which made him capable of using all of his power, but that would have very bad consequences for Sauron if he gets defeated.

[@kagome1947]

I love the armor of Elrond 😍

[@annandune]

I did enjoy this sequence even though I think it is quite far removed from the books. I don't think Galadriel would have been so fearful though, especially knowing she had Saruman and Elrond arriving. She has wrestled with the mind of Sauron and defeated him. Added to this, Saruman is a Maiar and Elrond is descended from one, so she has some major backup. I think it would be right to portray her as a little afraid as she is still surrounded by evil but she had some inkling of what she was going to face and knowledge of who was going to aid her so she wouldn't be quite so taken aback.

[@geniusmind4213]

SHE LITERALLY LOVES GANDALF AND SPENDS HER POWER ON HIM.

[@bcgazero6472]

This fact is obvious when she ignores saruman's bitching to mind dm gandalf about the dagger and the necromancer

[@just_cade]

Of course she does. All of the Eldar have an extreme reverence for Gandalf, he is one of the Ainur, and has been around since the beginning of time itself. The relationship between the Elves and the Maiar (and Valar) is very long and historied.

[@rev.dr.dayspring7805]

Gandalf/mythrandr (i know im spelling it wrong) has a mate/partner who is another one of the mayar (i dont remember her name nor his mayar name for that matter) who are like the angels and the valar are the archangels and then lu vitar (spelling i know i know) is god. So since the elves worship the lu vitar guy and the valar (like Catholics) then gandalf is like jesus to them. Seeing as he was sent from the far shore in a middle earthly body to fight against the evils of sauron (the antichrist, and also a mayar) who serves his master who was cast down (who was a valar who went bad, again forgot the name) .. Gandalf died and was reborn clad in white(jesus) and came back to push the hordes back to the pits.... I personally prefer tolkiens 'reimagining' because he is much less pretentious than the holy bible is. And no one was ever killed over the lord of the rings... That i know of. and both stories have insane long lineages that make it hard to read. Im about to do a re read. STAY SAFE AND LOVE EACH OTHER!.

[@taller_in_blue1209]

I like to think that Elrond, Saruman and Galadriel didn’t travel to Dol Guldur together for this. Galadriel just realised Gandalf would be going there and would need help so ran off after him, followed a few minutes later by Elrond and Saruman when they noticed she’d gone. Of course they all travelled at the same speed so still arrived just a few minutes apart, having never got close enough on the several days journey over there for Elrond and Saruman to shout for Galadriel to wait up. I don’t know why but it’s one of those movie logic things that just makes me chuckle.
