I'm torn on this one. My first instinct is to say "She what now?" But then also, Galadriel was never supposed to be an action girl. She's supposed to be restrained, understated and seen as powerful because of what she doesn't show (except when tempted by the One Ring, which is as much a statement of its corrupting influence as one of her power) rather than what she does. She's an example of the lost art of strength of will manifested in personality and demeanor. She shouldn't have had to "take on" anyone because Galadriel isn't a "tuff gurl" character.
Doesn't matter what Tolkien's Galadriel is supposed to be. Amazon made their Galadriel to be a big tough girlboss who shows all the MEN (and male Elves) what a bunch of enormous pussies they are...and this is all represented by a scrawny little actress who can't do any of her stunts without flinching.
