yeah i really liked the conversation, and the guy who is playing Elrond legitimately sounded remorseful. Probably the scene that made me get over how he looked and start enjoying the character

Well, and Galadriel is one of the oldest elves, from the years of the trees. Elrond, in comparison, was born like 1000 years later, well after the trees got ate, and is a half-elf besides (though as a half-elf that chose to be immortal, he is basically considered an elf). So, for the events of the forging of the rings of power, Elrond is about 1000 years old, and Galadriel is almost 2000, so like, they would have somewhat different perspectives on time.
