Arwen is Xenaelf?

[Curufinwe]

I havent spent much time here in awhile but it seems like the dialog has gotten a bit shrill over them thar Jackson movies. One aspect of the film that seems to have been heavily criticized was Arwen spiriting off Frodo on Asfaloth across the ford. Apparently Arwen drawing a sword which she never actually uses has turned her into a serialized syndicated musclebound action hero. I'm not exactly sure why this characterization has gained acceptance among those who dislike the film. Drawing a sword in defiance has ruined her character? I think those who have adopted this characterization should educate themselves a bit more on Arwen's lineage if they believe this is an inexcusable bit of create License-before they start referring to Luthien as Red Sonya.
