Travel Distance In Rings Of Power Is Weird

travel distance in rings of power is weird

I think it is very strange that Galadriel and Halbrand travelled from Mordor to Eregion in only 6 days. In lotr Boromir travelled almost the same distance in 110 days. (I looked this up on a wiki). Even if he lost his horse in Tharbad, it should still take Galadriel more than 6 days. She is travelling with a mortally wounded person, therefore she should be more careful and probably take longer than if she was alone. The speed they apparently travelled with should have killed Halbrand long before they even made it to Eregion.

Halbrand - bad plan

If Halbrand is Sauron, what do you think his plan was?

do some bad stuff -> get on boat -> get shipwrecked -> don't get eaten by giant sea monster -> Be only survivor on shipwreck -> randomly meet very important angry elf in the middle of the ocean -> become "friends" with angry elf -> Get saved by new important nice guy who also is in the middle of the ocean -> Join them to random place -> Great, it was Numenor -> just stay here and be blacksmith -> annoy angry elf some more -> make a lot of trouble -> get trown into prison -> NOT become king of the soutlands!! -> STAY -> infiltrate and watch them destroy themselves (on hold) -> gets bossed around by angry elf -> leave with angry elf and tiny army to destroy hisown army...... wait a minute.

he's basically just there randomly, no real motivation, just at the right place at the right time, or at the wrong place at the wrong time. depends on how you look at it. He just wants to be left alone and Galadriel keeps pushing him around and guilt-tripping him to do stuff. They are not really friends, they just happened to survive together for awhile and Galadriel won't let him go.

If this is Sauron, i'm either really disapointed by his planning abilities or really impressed.

I really loved the opening scene in LOTR-fotr, when "Galadriel" was the commander of Gil-Galad's army and fought against Sauron. Epic battle.

Also the scene when we first met "Elrond" in Lothlòrien. Unforgettable. When everyone were amazed by his ethereal aura, his (short) flowing blond hair and his beautiful white clothing.......Oh wait.

For very boring council meetings.

I found this scene really weird and forced. If she knew Elros and apparently is Elrond's best friend, shouldn't she be nicer to their descendants. Also if she had mentioned it earlier, then maybe she would have had an easier time in Nùmenor. But what bother me the most about this scene is this painting. It looks like someone painted everything else except for Elronds head, and then someone different came in later and did his head in a completely different style. His head looks so realistic compared to the rest of the painting. Like someone photo-shopped his head on an old picture and used a filter or something.

Also aren't they suppose to be identical twins. I can't find anything similar about them. Their eyes, their headshape, their nose, their eyebrows, even their ears are different. I mean Elros looks more like Thorin's long lost twin. Maybe if you squint really hard, but something is just really weird about this painting.

The only great thing about this painting is that the elves have long hair, :)
