The first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are already available on the platform Prime Video following its world premiere on September 2. At least 25 million viewers were fixed on the first day of transmission of the series.

But who does not seem to be very convinced of the subject is Elon Musk, the CEO and founder of Tesla, who expressed his displeasure with respect to the series through his Twitter account. “Tolkien is turning over in his grave,” she said simply, and alarm bells went off in the Twitter universe. Not content with that, he added, “Almost all the male characters so far are cowards, idiots, or both. Only Galadriel is brave, intelligent and kind.” Thus he gave his vision of the role of men in fiction.

Far from giving a lukewarm and spiritless message, his two tweets were forceful and had countless likes and retweets. All this could have something to do with the confrontation between Musk and Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. His different projects and companies face each other: while Elon is focused on his space travel through his company SpaceX, Bezos try something similar with Blue Origin. A battle that is being waged in space and also on our planet. The question is how much this type of comment or posting can affect Musk to the platform series created by Bezos. For now, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power They are enjoying a good streak and will continue with the seasons they have scheduled to carry out.

Let us remember that the character of Galadriel, on the other hand, had been interpreted in the film trilogy of Peter Jackson by australian actress Cate Blanchett, it did not have the same features of this new version. While Blanchett gave an image of a serene and calm elf, this Galadriel played by Morfydd Clark She is a warrior of arms to take and a true heroine.

“I would say that her serenity is earned with effort,” the new actress told the magazine. Variety. “I don’t think you get to that level of wisdom without going through things. In fact, there is a loss of innocence.”

In an effort to defend their new airsClark made an analysis of the evolution of the elves in the different ages that are related in this story: “The elves of the Third Age have evolved to a certain extent. The goblins of the First Age are very messy and tease each other a lot, and they also fight and make fun of each other. It was really interesting for all of us who play canonical characters to explore how these characters become who we know them to be.”
