   Wait, wait wait.

   I love a woman in real armour as much as the next man.

   But Galadriel is supposed to be a powerful mage. Why is she swish-swish-slice-em-in-half-ing a troll when she could just blip it halfway across the ocean?

     @silverwizard That's... actually weirdly true.

     And Gandalf was at least an order of magnitude more powerful than even the Eldar.

     @silverwizard Yeah, I'm trying to think of concrete examples now.

     Galadrial "pulls down the walls and uncovers the pits" of Dol Goldur (or... whatever the Necromancer's dungeon was).

     The PJ movies made it a bit flashier, but the msot they did was the odd flaming sword.

     I think Gandalf blew up a pinecone once.

     @silverwizard Plus, again, now that I think of it, I think the one time we see Galadriel do Flashy Combat Magic she did it through a ring of power rather than in her own right.

     @silverwizard I'm rusty, I thought that was Glorfindel.
