That scene is such an egregious effront to canonicity that a 12 year-old fan-fic writer describing violet-eyed elfesses on pink-maned ponies could've done better. Arwen can call up the flood without a ring just by mumbling some pseudo-elvish gibberish in a Lauren Bacall-like whisper? I am surprised she didn't lead a one-elleth assault on the Morannon with such innate power. Xenarwen cometh!
