Male heroes are deconstructed in favor of women with unearned power. Women can do anything and do it better without men. Representations of stupid, absent or dead husbands and fathers are a common source of complaint. So should we be surprised that the writers have freed Galadriel of Celeborn to pass the Bectdel test? Galadriel falling for Halbrand as Sauron in disguise neatly fits into this narrative.
How would Galadriel being so clueless that she falls for the "man" she's spent centuries hunting fit the purported narrative that women make for better / more competent heroes than men?
