Many elves before him tried the same, they only hadnīt the luck having the Silmaril with them. IMHO that was the reason he was successful, he tried several times before but wasnīt able to go to Aman,...

My problem with Luthien is that she all did it for love, not for freedom for example or personal fulfilment. That is Mary -Sue-ish, for me at least. Galadriel never was that way. I see Galadriel as a...

Itīs just the the gifts Galadriel gave them were in the end more important than Elronds gifts, so one can easily overlook Elronds gifts.

You said that, so when he says that Galadriel read his thoughts he is wrong, but when he said that Elrond is the greatest loremaster, then he is right. That is not really consequent.
