caveat! Spoilers ahead for Ring of Power Season 2, Episode 7.
Galadriel and Elrond share a surprise kiss Lord of the Rings: Ring of Power Season 2, and then season 3, are all set to make this moment even stranger. This controversial scene took place when Elrond, during what could be his final farewell to Galadriel in Adal’s camp, inserts a pin into her in the hope that it will help her escape. It happened to. This kiss was an odd change in canon, as the two never shared a romance in Tolkien’s works, whether romantic or ploy. However, if something goes wrong now, it will only get worse later.
prime video’s ring of power It’s already a topic of debate, as the various changes to the series’ canon have been highly divisive. Some of these adjustments are minor, while others have a much larger impact. lord of the rings“Legendarium”. Of course, you can never expect a screen adaptation to be exactly the same as the original. For example, TV shows such as: ring of power They are all their own art forms. but, Considering the upcoming canonical story that will never be cut on Prime Video. (and it’s probably ring of power season 3), Elrond and Galadriel’s kiss feels a little more random.
The ending of Ring of Power Season 2 begins the establishment of Rivendell.
Elrond is one step closer to his future
Other than his kiss with Galadriel, Elrond’s canon story is set up pretty well. ring of power Season 2, Episode 7. He is doomed to lose the Siege of Eregion, but the dwarves of Khazaddum appear just in time and stop the orcs from eliminating all survivors. Elrond takes these elves to a nearby valleya place that would be safer from Sauron’s forces. This haven would eventually be called Imladris, or Rivendell, and Elrond would remain as its leader. lord of the rings.
meanwhile ring of power The details of this story are certainly subject to change, but it seems likely that Elrond will find Rivendell near the finale or beginning. ring of power Season 3. This allows him to move on to the next step in his story: meeting his wife Celebrian. This would make his brief romantic interaction with Galadriel a little weird, not because it would create a jealous love triangle; Celebrian is Galadriel’s daughter.
Elrond must meet Celebrian immediately after founding Rivendell
It would be even weirder if Elrond met Celebrian right after kissing his mother.
In canon, Elrond hosts a council shortly after establishing Rivendell as a safe haven. The main purpose of this meeting is to decide the fate of the three Elven rings, which will be hidden from Sauron’s reach or control. Naturally, Galadriel, High King Gil-galad, and Círdan will also be attending this meeting, but that’s not all. Some versions of Tolkien’s works indicate that: Galadriel brought her daughter Celebrian to the council of Rivendell. And that this was the first time Elrond met her and fell in love with her.
There’s an established relationship between Galadriel and Elrond (even if it’s just a friendship), which makes the idea of the latter marrying the former’s daughter a little off-putting.
It is difficult to determine whether this is the version of this story. ring of power follows. Galadriel mentioned that her husband Celeborn was killed in the First Age, but made no mention of Celebrian. ring of power Showrunners have already confirmed that Celeborn will be returning. Much will need to be revealed and explained before Celebrían appears.. In any case, given the established relationship (if only friendship) between Galadriel and Elrond, the idea of the latter marrying the former’s daughter becomes a bit jarring.
Ring of Power changed Celebrían’s story (but can’t completely sever her)
Celebrian has to show up sometime
Obviously, Celebrían’s story won’t be the same in the next world. ring of power As in Tolkien’s works. There is no indication in canon that Galadriel and her daughter were estranged, and the two apparently have little contact during the events of the Prime Video series. Galadriel may think Celebrian is dead, just like Celeborn.And that a fun reunion will become part of the story. ring of power Alternatively, Celebrían’s birth year may be changed and she may be born in a later season.
None of these options are recommended. Still, it would be better than these ring of power Cut Celebrían completely. She plays an important role in the upcoming story as she is Arwen’s mother. lord of the rings. on the other hand, Prime Video series may be possible imply Elrond will eventually meet Celebrian and fall in love.this is a significant disadvantage for both characters. Viewers unfamiliar with Elrond’s story will be eager to see how the events of the Second Age tie together, especially after his big kiss with Galadriel. lord of the rings. As long as Celebrían is the key ring of power Their romance never gets weird.

Season 2 will end with episode 8 on October 3, 2024.
