It was never that I hated her, but I had mixed feelings towards her for years because something about Tolkien and the Valar and the Undying Lands bugged me in ways I couldn't verbalise and she was a part of that. There is something I instinctively do not like about how elves, particularly High Elves, interact with the Undying Lands and the concepts of death and virtue, and Galadriel's story is massively caught up in that. It isn't really her in and of herself that's the problem for me, it's the fact that during the LotR timeframe she's the main character that particular bugbear is clustered around.

Though I always loved her flash of powerlust and pride in the face of the Ring and her gutpunched reaction afterwards. I would have loved to see an AU with the rise of the Dawn Queen. That would have been spectacular.
