The Rings Of Power’ – newsdubai

Neil Gaiman does not take on Elon Musk and has clapped back at Musk’s criticism of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Recently, Elon Musk slammed The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, saying that “Tolkien is turning his grave.” The harsh criticism made its way around the internet and created quite a stir. Critics gave The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the audience score is less than generous at 39%. The show has been stuck in the negative press since it came out, and it doesn’t look like it’s letting up anytime soon.

Neil Gaiman is an English author of short fiction, novels, comics, graphic novels and films. He is best known for his work on Coraline, good omens, The Sandman series, and American Gods. Many of his works have been turned into TV shows such as American Gods and Good omens. Others have been turned into feature films such as Coraline. Elon Musk is best known as a business magnate and investor. He is the CEO and founder of SpaceX and is also a billionaire. Musk is known for having strong opinions, which he shares regularly. Gaiman on the other hand is more reserved but has been known to voice his opinions from time to time.

Recently, Neil Gaiman responded to Musk’s criticism of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Twitter. Gaiman’s response was apt and tactful. Nothing is too extreme or obscene; however, it got his point across. The point is that Musk should stick to what he’s good at and leave well enough alone when it comes to TV and literature. The tweet received over 325 thousand likes and was retweeted over 35 thousand times. The story quickly became news, and Gaiman’s tweet received a lot of support from fans. You can see the full quote and tweet below:

“Elon Musk doesn’t come to me for advice on how not to buy Twitter, and I don’t go to him for film, TV or literary criticism.”

Neil Gaiman’s answer was spot on. The critical reaction to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is solid and only fans seem to have a problem with it. I haven’t watched the show myself, nor do I plan to in the near future, but I never was one Lord of the Rings fan. Many Lord of the Rings fans call the TV show a “disgrace”. Musk seems to agree, but he’s not a critic either. He’s a billionaire who seems to have way too much time on his hands. I find it interesting that Gaiman does not reveal his own opinion, he only discredits Musk. The line about not buying Twitter is hilarious and not surprising given Gaiman’s legendary wit. Perhaps Gaiman’s response is a one-off, but given Elon Musk’s persistence, it’s likely that this “feud” is far from over. You can catch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 1 on Amazon Prime now.
