It’s a fantasy. Fantasy writers have characters with fantastic abilities. Supergirl, wonder woman, catgirl were all around before wokeness. So, a fantasy female being skilled is not new at all.

“Fantasy writers have characters with fantastic abilities.”
Tolkien’s world didn’t HAVE Superman. NOTHING about “Middle Earth” had any suggestion any Elf could swim across an ocean. Or be hit by a 500’ tall wall of lava and just shrug it off!
If they wanted to make a Marvel movie, they could. But defecating on a world Tolkien spent decades building just because the writers didn’t give a rat’s rear end about anything is evil.
I always hated the Superman comics, even as a little kid. How can you care about someone whose answer for every problem is a new super power? The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings were very different. Gandalf couldn’t fly around the world. An elf shot in the right spot with an arrow DIES. They had horses and ships because they needed them. They needed an alliance of men and elves because neither was strong enough to win a war against Sauron without each other - AND without tremendous sacrifice and loss!
I’ve never gone to see a “superpower” movie. Never will. Not all fantasy involves flying people with X-Ray vision and bulletproof bodies.
The storyline sucked donkey dicks! The dialog was hideous. “Do you know why a stone sinks? It looks down!” Just STUPID.
It was written by Twitter people. Want to get something done? USE ALL CAPS! When in doubt, scream and act like a spoiled 3 year old. It was just garbage writing by people who have never faced any real problems. You can tell none of those involved have ever been in a real fight, ever been in the military or a cop or trained a horse or done anything outside complain to the manager about their fashion-coffee being off.
Tolkien’s fantasy worked, and has been loved for 60+ years, because it was both fantasy and real. Rings of Power is a Marvel comic. Nothing more and maybe even a little less.
