Galadriel was not a sword wielding warrior, so no, but due to her teaching from the Maia Melian, maybe she could banish it, but since the Maia Gandalf couldn't I doubt it so the winner is the Balrog !!
I have never seen even a single accurate portrayal of Galadriel. She keeps her hair --- all of it --- braided. If she had any long, loose, flowing hair, she wouldn't have needed to unbraid it in order to cut three strands for Gimli. And, yes, I agree that Galadriel could defeat a Balrog.
Just because she had it braided at that moment doesn't mean it always is. At the time she was giving them their farewell gifts, she had just met them on the river- that means traveling, and women would usually put their up when they travelled, and could leave it down at home. I think any of the artwork I've seen of her as far as style goes is fine. To me, the color is always wrong.
@@margaretalbrecht4650 Why should it be? It was braided in that one instant. Most images of her are general and not specifically from the Fellowship farewell from Lorien.
Thanks for comment, hair color? It's a little difficult to get that exactly right. How would you describe it? MAybe I can have a go to get her hair right
Gandalf was not a elf, just an istar, and he defeated the balrog known as Durin's Bane by himself at a very old age. He did die but was sent back to middle earth by the valar. He had one of the elven rings of power. I think theyll be showing how and when do the dwarves wake up this balrog, hidden under the mountain.
@@pierreder1368 There was a first age elf that died killing a Balrog and was also resurrected by Ilúvatar. So Gandalf wasnt the first that happened to he even came back more powerful just like Gandalf. The Witchking would literally run away when confronted by the guy in the third age
In The Silmarillion, Tolkien describes Galadriel as "the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle-earth." She is especially tall, standing at an impressive height of six foot four. Thanks for the comment, she was compared to her uncle Feanor. That says a lot.
@MiddelEarthQA-zv3tc there's not one passage in any source material that depicts Galadriel in warrior mode. Don't warp adjectives to suit your agenda. She is depicted as mighty, etc, but that does not mean warrior. She was formidable, surely that's enough.
Great character, sadly underestimated because of her gender. It was the whole reason she went to middle-earth in the first place. Arguably 3rd on the list of powerful Noldor.
@@MiddelEarthQA-zv3tc typical male attitudes towards beautiful females, I suppose. The average male is motivated by the urge to conquer and dominate, especially at the time the books were written, and female characters were almost exclusively wives, mothers or objects of desire. Prevailing attitudes of the times, I suppose. A dominant female character wasn't attractive to the majority of readers.

This is a good point. I'll see if I can make some images with her in warrior hair mode

@@agirlnamedmichael1670 And yet she is never, but never, portrayed with the hair all braided.

Galadriel from The Rings of Power: hold my beer
🙃🙃🙃
🤣🤣exactly
Did anyone defeat a Balrog without dying in the process?
Yes Echtelion killed gothmog the lord of balrogs
@@MiddelEarthQA-zv3tc Echthelion died to kill gothmog
That's true, some earlier drafts have different things happening. But cannon wise I think you are correct. No balrog slayer survived.

Galadriel is not a warrior.
Source?
@pedroluizb you're not serious, r u ?

The Ai makes the pictures it wasn't directly meant to be like that

Agreed, Tolkien spoke very highly of her.
@@carloscrecelius9597 may I ask how you think her gender has her underestimated? I'm genuinely interested as this is not my perception.
