negative comments against Rings of Power it rises to levels that perhaps Amazon never expected. If the company is not enough bombing review out of thousands of angry users, now Elon Musk has jumped on the bandwagon. Through it twitter account – where else? – the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX could not resist the series Lord of the Rings.
“Tolkien is rolling over in your grave”there were strong words with which Elon Musk began his attack against Rings of Power. However, his comments did not end there. The tycoon also said, “Almost all male characters so far are cowards, idiots, or both. Only Galadriel is brave, smart and sweet.”
As we well know, the words of Elon Musk always have too much resonance, regardless of the topic covered, and this time was no exception. You only need to look at the replies to the tweet to see that the detractors Rings of Power They received the magnate with open arms.
Now there is a nuance that we must take into account. Elon Musk has been very critical of almost every product or service related to Jeff Bezos. It’s well known that Musk and the Amazon founder don’t have a very good relationship, and several provocative messages have been posted on several occasions. It is then possible that Musk himself was even more motivated to attack. Rings of Power because of his rivalry with Bezos.
Are you right in your harsh statements against the series? Well, it depends on the point of view from which you look at it. It’s true that Rings of Powerat least in the first two episodes, took a few creative liberties, some of which contradicts the books of J. R. R. Tolkien. It is clear that for any follower of the British writer such situations are inappropriate, especially since the production was advertised as “based” on Tolkien’s work.
Now we must not forget that Rings of Powerlike any other standard content of the video streaming platform, is intended to attract the largest possible audience. To do this, he must pull changes that will not always be clearly visible to connoisseurs of the universe. This will continue with any series/movie based on or inspired by a work of literature.
But it’s one thing to be critical and respectful of your arguments, and quite another to spend a significant portion of your time launching hate in any Internet space. And that includes harassment, which some members Rings of Power they are already experiencing it on their social media profiles. There are limits, and these days many of them have been exceeded.
