Celeborn was mocked by his fans for how he would react to this storyline after he returned home to the world of living. Celebron is a worthy character, according to Tolkien’s writing. “dead”His spirit will be cleansed in Valinor for a short time. He could then choose to return to Middle-earth in a form that is identical to his former body and with all his memories intact.
Awe
It would be a shame if the writers of this shitshow did something similar. Galadriel is the main villain at the moment.

Fans were just stunned that screenwriters could create romance between Galadriel, Sauron. Many felt Celeborn’s death was distractingly planned to allow for this unexpected romance, even though they were familiar with the Tolkien-based Elven death parameters.
Fan Theories
What if Halbrand became Sauron because he sees Galadriel reunite with Celeborn who she thought was dead and that’s when his heart is broken and then turns to evil #TheRingsOfPower

But there’s writings from Tolkien that said during the second age there was a part he tried to redeem himself and start over for a little bit but then relapsed again

Many people began thinking up theories that this could be a dramaticization of Tolkien’s larger arc. Many felt that humanization of Tolkien’s writings on the Second Age was a good way to add suspense for television.
Explanations
A elf can still be dead. There’s nothing final about that. His spirit would be reconstituted in Valinor, so he could return to the east and visit middle earth when needed.🤷♂️

Celeborn’s disappearance was a topic that fans debated. Many felt this was the best time to study the long lives of elves and what it might mean for their psychology.
Heart of the Issue
Tolkien claims that Sauron saw Galadriel in the second age as his greatest enemy (as explained by UT). Not Gil-Galad, Celebrimbor, Glorfindel, Elrond, Celeborn or Cirdan, nobody in Númenor.
So, the showrunners created a “how”And “why story”It’s a great idea, and I love it.

Defenders of this show pointed out that the show had to examine the relationship between Galadriel (and Sauron) and the reasons why their enmity was so frightening. This romance was praised by many, even though it was not executed well.
Chemistry
I think halbrand must either betray her, or die so that Celeborn can come back into this picture. …. I CAN NOT LOSE THEM pic.twitter.com/hyxulguDgP

The show’s defenders also claimed that Clark’s chemistry with Vickers was strong enough, which would have been sufficient to support their romantic saga. They hoped Celeborn could be cast as the lead actor if Celeborn was added to the show.
