Galadriel talks about her husband [Rings of Power 2022]

Rings of Power episode 7
Truly questioning the showrunners why they only mentioned Celeborn NOW after 7 episodes? Should not it hold more weight for Galadriel to seek her revenge when the stake is with her brother AND husband?
Anyway Celeborn is not dead and I hope we see him in the next season.

THEY BETTER CAST A REALLY GOOD CELEBORN NOW TO COMPETE WITH DARK LORD SAURON! No way is anyone gonna be able to compete with that chemistry. Unless Charlie Vickers plays Celeborn too with some moustache and long hair disguise 😂

OMG I had literally thought the same haha!!🤣🤣 If Celeborn can't stay dead they can still have Charlie playing him too (with make-up and blond wig🧝‍♂️😅), and in the meantime let's put Sauron in armor and mask too, so basically anyone else can play him, and Vickers can just add his voiceover...perfect evil plan loading LOL❣️👻😈

@@thomasrobinson4890Sorry! I misread it as Celeborn. Yes, Celebrian was born in the second age, but the original commenter is not necessarily wrong in their criticism. The show is canonically all over the place, and timelines are not particularly accurate, so who the hell knows if or when Celebrian will turn up if at all. The scene is a little absurd tbh. Then again, the show is a strange project in artistic license..

[@kumoz495]

Celeborn is obviously going to pop up sometime she said she never saw him again…

[@avlisdreams3427]

Hi! Short explanation for why the writers decided to go this route (probably): by Tolkien-lore they were actually separated for a while due to tragic circumstances before setelling down in Lothlorien. True, that event happened at a different time later, but because Tolkien was never too specific about these events, it makes as good sense to have them separated at this dark times as if it happened later. Mind you, elves live for thousand and thousand of years, he could have been missing for 400years and they'll still be young when meeting again. They will eventually have a daughter, and also help Frodo in LOTR. From a purely writing standpoint, you need to take away something dear to the character in order for them to go on a journey hoping to acquire/or avenge it.

[@taylorwiseman8078]

Thank you! I was so confused for a minute.

[@professorbutters]

I actually asked for Unfinished Tales as a birthday present, partly to check out the Galadriel and Celeborn backstory, and it’s an inconsistent mess. I understand that even Tolkien didn’t know that Galadriel was going to be that important when he started, and he kept changing his mind on Celeborn, so I’m just grateful that he did not ultimately go with the name “Teleporno” and leave it there.

Something tells me this was a last minute addition after the online backlash, when people started noticing there was no Celeborn. Why the hell wouldn't she mention her murdered husband before now, especially when she was crying about her dead brother to Sauron?

Don't forget about Isildur's "mystery box death". It's just tiring at this point.

I wonder if we will see Valinor in future seasons. Celeborn could have returned to Valinor after Morgoth was defeated without each other knowing they survived. Episode 1 did have all those elves end up in Valinor and if Celeborn is there, those elves could have told that Galadriel was with them but jumped off the ship they were on.

[@jaakkohamalainen4898]

I truly hope that we shall see more of Valinor. Especially when Numenorians attack there. Perhaps we shall see Finrod with Amarie and Finarfin and Earwen plus other elven royalty from Vanyar and Teleri, like Galadriel's Grandfather Olwe. We have already seen Tirion, but it would be super amazing to see Alqualonde and Valimar. One can always hope!

Perhaps he just went missing like Thorin’s Father, Thrain. Thorin lost him during the Battle of Moria, and went missing after that. Sometimes in war soldiers get lost during battle. They Either return alive or they’re found dead. The Chances are Celeborn is Still Alive.

[@Moondust-tj4oe]

Celeborn has to be alive. He's in The Lord of the Rings.

The phrase your looking for is Missing in Action or MIA, a clear distinction from being AWOL or Deserting. A soldier missing in action is still considered "alive" until his death is reported and active / loyal until proven otherwise.

Maybe Celeborn found out some not-so-nice things about Gally and Finrod, if you catch my meaning, and then faked his own death cause he got tired of her being psycho and calling him names. Maybe he was so horrified that he married a psychotic murder machine that he jumped of a cliff!!!!

This, plus calling hiim a silver clam , come on show writers that is just utter and complete bs when it is he that is actually the warrior out of the pair. Sure galadriel is a capable fighter but it is him that goes to defend Eregion, it is him that holds off sauron long enough to have Elrond join his forces. It is him that leads the elves of Lothlorien to Dol Guldur and captures the castle before Galadriel throws down its walls and lay bare it's pits. the only way I can see his armor didn't properly fit is because his armor is too damaged to be repaired in time due to the kinslaying .
