The prospect of Glorfindel appearing in The Rings of Power

Well "It was evening, there was nothing to do". I just want to express my feelings and opinion, rather for myself, nothing more. I'm not trying to offend anyone.

I really love this character, so after watching the ROP, I realized that I don't want to see his interpretation from Amazon, even though I realize that ROP is more of a big AU of the Tolkien universe due to their situation with the lack of rights to the Silmarillion, as a result of which the entire main layer of the world is removed and changed the second era in every way in the ROP – the storylines, the characters' characters, their history and, apparently, the appearance and characteristics of the races too (?)– in general, the free interpretation of Amazon, with maintaining the basic idea of creations the rings; the most expensive AU fanfic I saw in my life (fanfiction is not an insult, I favor fanfiction, so, it's not bad, it's just that this particular one didn't go very well for me, although the views of the places were beautiful).

Well, after what they did with the character design of Finrod in ROP (no complaints to the actor, only the design), I'm afraid of what they might do with Glorfindel, If they put him on the show in the future.

It would be better if he wasn't in the show at all, than to see him without his light, possibly played by a man at an advanced age (even if he is a great actor), despite the fact that Laurefinde is an elf (well, I won’t be surprised, there is a precedent, and please don't confuse this with some kind of disdain for old age or something like that – I like grandpas in movies, look at my avatar; no, this is a simple and understandable desire to see Tolkien's believable elves {not some Terrence Brooks elves} on the screen – a representative of ANOTHER race that doesn't age – I noticed Tolkien’s elves race attribute, such as not aging {unless you have reached the age of Cirdan the Shipwright and at the same time didn't live in Valinor} began to be ignored in ROP}, or/and than see him with a very short fashionable haircut or some kind of haircut under 0 with shaved temples (whereas his golden flowing hair is glorified by almost all Arda and he literally radiates power and shining after resurrection)

Also I don't want to see how Glorfindel is shown with a complete disregard for his past with the exodus of the Noldor, life in Gondolin, with his self-sacrifice, incarnation in the West, due to the fact that they don't have rights to the Silmarillion and they cannot reveal all this (like with the replacement of the impressive death of Finrod, again due to the lack of rights to use the Beren and Luthien story and Silmarills), even a small part.

if all of the above happens and without the main part of his past, or his past will be changed (who knows, everything is possible here), the character will not be Glorfindel, but simply an original character (OC) with the same name.

As it happened, for example, with Celebrimbor – the actor played well, but the character is perceived as a very old elve, with a similar name, close in age to Cirdan the Shipwright, but still without a beard, having good skill in blacksmithing and ambition, and since the Silmarillion is not in this universe with its time frame and the history of the Celebrimbor's family, with kinslaying and Silmarills, with all of his past, then it's possible to imagine this is the way it is; and therefore he turned out to be a good original character for the story.

But still, about Glorfindel – even in AU, it is better, only in my opinion, then not to introduce him at all, than if they break the character in order to shove him into the series, or get another OC, even a good one (of course, unless a miracle happens and they make every effort to make Glorfindel as close to the book as possible). I know that most likely he will be introduced into the series, whether I want it or not.

Again, I repeat, I just wanted to express my opinion and desire, if someone doesn't agree with this, or someone didn't like it at all, it's okay, this is how different opinions work.
