If anything, the Elven character has been portrayed so far as borderline fanatical and uncaring of others in her pursuit of Sauron, willing to put her soldiers in danger on a hunch, and clearly not super well-liked or trusted by the Elven High King.

While we do not really feel like addressing the vagueness of his “almost every male character,” it is hard to agree with Elon Musk about Galadriel. It could be inferred that Elon Musk thinks that men are being portrayed negatively, while the main female lead character is being propped up as an unrealistic, wholly positive character. Only Galadriel is brave, smart and nice.”Īll of those qualities are pretty subjective. More people have taken umbrage at his next criticism, in which he claimed “Almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk or both. Such a claim is pretty typical of the general tone of online discourse, however, so you cannot say that Elon Musk is not in his wheelhouse in that sense. It does seem like Elon Musk claiming that “Tolkien is turning in his grave” is a bit much, especially as there is no particular reason why he would have any insight into the views of a man who had been dead for nearly fifty years. Nobody has to like anything, for pretty much any reason they feel like. #ElonMusk #RingsOfPower #RingsOfPowerOnPrime #trollsįirst things first: Elon Musk is a private citizen and perfectly entitled to his views on The Rings of Power, the Amazon Prime Video adaptation of some of J.R.R. Be careful, Your #malefragility is showing.
