If a 60 year old woman can swim a 100 miles in one go I have no problem with a powerful elf doing several times that.Yeah I get the shot of the fiery ash flowing over Galadriel was indulgent. But it was one shot in the episode. It’s a cinematic indulgence where the laws of physics and the rule of cool intersect. My understanding was that most of the villagers don’t survive. Just the remenents.I dont think they needed to let the pyroclastic flow engulf everyone it could have just been regular clouds of ash from the eruption falling on them but I guess they wanted the image. It’s just a visual representation.Then again I think of all the times D&D encounters take part near lava yet players don’t get instantly broiled when they fly or jump over it. Did you have the same complaints when Frodo steps onto the promontory overlooking the caldera of Mount Doom despite those air temperature likely to be many hundreds of degrees centigrade? Tolkein did sometimes follow the rule of cool too.</blockquote>
