Musk added this in a later tweet.
Almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk or both. Only Galadriel is brave, smart and nice.
So it’s a slightly different flavor of :frothingfash:
I really like how they pointed out how 20 years is like a couple of months to an elf, while its a massive chunk of time for anyone else
Call me crazy, but I wonder if Musk is lending his voice to the culture war aspect of this show to juice its visibility as a favor to Bezos. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if the entire controversy around the show including Black people and powerful women is inorganic and designed to get people talking about it.
lol no, it’s definitely organic. huge parts of the tolkien fandom are incredibly racist.
they may have signal boosted it, but it’s organic.
It’s alright so far. I do wish they’d explain lorewise how a single village of people living in the dirt is so diverse though. Headcanoning it as a refugee village
At least with dwarves it can be explained as the whole ‘made of stone’ thing, also they’re cowards for not giving the women huge beards cause in the lore it describes dwarven genders as nearly indistinguishable
Did they give the dwarf women beards like they’re supposed to have? If not I’m not interested.
Its certainly pretty. Plenty of effort was put in costumes and set pieces. But after two hour long episodes there’s really no reason for me to keep watching beyond just wanting to see more new lotr. Its like mandalorian (sans :baby yoda:) or any of the star wars spin offs. Maybe house of dragons will be the exact same but have a hook in the first ep.
