I'm not really a big spoiler Nazi. But there is a reason people don't want certain narrative events
Not really, but more like when spoilers are baked into the premise. What are the stakes here? We know ultimately that Galadriel will fail in her task.
And I liked the first episode. I'm sure I'll like the rest of the show. I'd just rather see this sort of production value in an original world where we don't come in already knowing the fate of the major players.
