Rings of Power: Could Galadriel & Halbrand Have Found Love In Different Circumstances?

gamerant.com:

There are several relationships within the Rings of Power series that are beginning to come to fruition after the release of the sixth episode. One such relationship is that between Arondir and Bronwyn, the hero of the Southlands, who finally shared their first kiss. But a particularly poignant moment passed between Galadriel and Halbrand after the battle in which they defeated and captured Adar. This scene has left fans wondering if their alliance could possibly blossom into romance. Had the circumstances under which they had found one another been different, could it have been a love that stood the test of the ages?

Fans know from the later Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit tales, that Galadriel eventually finds, falls in love with, and marries Celeborn, the elf who accompanies her down the stairs when the fellowship first arrives in Lothlorien. Therefore, it is clear that Galadriel and Halbrand don’t end up together, at least not for the long term. It makes sense, considering that she is an immortal elf, and he is a human. There have been very rare examples across the ages of an Elf-maiden and a man pledging themselves to one another, starting in the fabled ancestry of Beren and Luthien, and ending thousands of years later with Arwen and Aragorn. However, viewers already know that this will not be one such relationship. Nonetheless, it has become increasingly clear over the last few episodes of the Amazon series that there is a strong bond between Galadriel and Halbrand. This bond may have turned into insurmountable love for one another, had they not been destined for different paths.
