Special effects worthy of an old Star Trek episode

Oh! A Niçoise salad! " exclaim viewers who have read the previous spoilers.
And indeed: Galadriel arrives.
All alone (because attacking a stronghold with an army is so has-been), dressed in a Kikinoute robounette, she, her half-open mouth and her vaporous low-class attitude advances towards the orc who is torturing Gandalf without encountering any resistance, and when the executioner notices that there is an elf princess in the fortress, she uses her magical power b2b email list of atomic detonation to make him fly away. She can therefore free Gandalf, who is in a bad state.
But then something happens that no one expected!
I'll spare you the acting, which is also close, but then appear semi-transparent and completely kitsch specters: the Nazguls. They surround Galadriel and prepare to beat her up while the whole room yells " What the hell? Use the atomic explosion like two minutes ago! " but no. Instead, Galadriel gives a little Christophe Lambert-style laugh and exclaims: " Because you think I came alone? No, I came with two guys! "
And indeed, along come Elrond the Elf King and Saruman the Wizard, who until now were probably telling each other jokes in a corridor of the fortress. It's a good thing the Nazguls didn't attack Galadriel before she could call for help, eh? Well done, guys. So the fight begins, and Elrond fights like... a ninja? While Saruman does kung fu. Yes, kung fu. Sorry? Magic? Finally! Wizards do kung fu, it's well known, where did you see them do magic? And then it's so believable to see Saruman dish out blows with a stick. In short, the Nazguls are routed, as is the sanity of most people who saw this scene.
But all is not well, because Gandalf is clearly in a coma. No problem, Galadriel cures him by... by... by giving him a magic kiss.
Muacks! A magic kiss, some red on the knee and a hero bandage and hey presto, you can go back to playing, my little Gandalf.
Diego? 60 rpm? That's what I was thinking.
No, but seriously, Peter Jackson! A magic kiss? And why not Galadriel who puts on her cap, gives Gandalf a cold spray and a magic sponge and bam, the guy goes back to playing his match? It couldn't have been more stupid. And you know what? Well, it works. The magic kiss wakes up Gandalf, who then witnesses the arrival of a new enemy, namely Sauron himself. Galadriel therefore has Gandalf evacuated, then stands in front of Sauron, changes color (oh, but I told you it was kitsch) while brandishing a bottle of dacryoserum and starts yelling super credible incantations at him, which go something like this.
