This is the one I will semi defend. Tolkien himself did mention Galadriel being a warrior.

"Galadriel was a penitent: in her youth a leader in the rebellion against the Valar (the angelic guardians)."

"she fought fiercely against Fëanor in defence of her mother's kin" (Unfinished Tales)

She had Faught and had been a warrior at one point. Just not in the way RoP showed. Not just going around fighting orcs and wearing knights armor.

Probably my least favorite part and biggest offense.

Sword key to unlock a water park ride that turns on Mt. Doom, thus creating Morrrrdor?

Also terrible.

She NEVER fought against the Valar. Along with her family, they defied them, but never FOUGHT against them. Where are you getting this? She was possibly involved in the *Kinslaying, but Tolkien never clarified if she actually took up arms or not. She certainly was involved but was never a bonafide 'warrior'. She was tall, athletic and powerful, but single handedly slaying of ice Trolls, while all the other male elves cowered in the corner, was never on her resume'.

*The Kinslaying at Alqualondë was the first slaying of Elf by Elf by the forces of Fëanor to hasten their pursuit of Morgoth who had fled with the Silmarils to Middle-earth, and was the act that banned the Ñoldor from returning to Aman, the lands of the West, for centuries. It occurred soon after the destruction of the Two Trees of Valinor, on the cusp of the First Age.
