Galadriel is a peaceful character famed for her beauty and grace. Amazon galadriel is a retread of gandalfs search for Sauron from the hobbit movies. There is essentially zero overlap between the two characters, so i think its safe to call amazon galadrial a crammed in character.

The Amazon Galadriel is a pretty generic female lead: she's very masculine, plucky, no discernible flaws and is constantly being oppressed by the incompetent men around her. They just picked the safest character template available to them and put galadriel's name on it.
