‘You dashed my hope’: Fans blame Neil Gaiman for defending Rings of Power series, say Elon Musk was right that every New Age male character is ‘a coward, a fool or both’

Elon Musk’s recent comments that openly criticize the new The The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is quite a trending topic on Twitter, much like all of his opinions. While there may be people who agree with Musk’s opinion, Neil Gaiman turns out to be an exception.

The tech billionaire, with a net worth of over $250 billion, criticized the way the show’s male characters were written, saying “Almost all the male characters so far are either cowards, jerks, or both. Only Galadriel is brave, smart, and kind. in a tweet that amassed over 129.6k likes. Musk’s judgment of the series, however, didn’t sit too well with Gaiman.

Neil Gaiman’s epic response to Musk’s tweet

The author of The sand man is pretty straight forward on what he thinks of Musk’s tweet when asked by a fan, and Gaiman dropped a huge bombshell with his response on Twitter.

The 61-year-old’s tweet comes after fans of the original trilogy, and JRR Tolkien outright criticized rings of power, accusing the show of being vastly different from the source material of Tolkien’s appendices and LOTR novels.

The angry crowd of fans are not on Gaiman’s side mostly because they feel like he supports the show to have a diverse cast, which they think is “not precise lore”, and frankly that’s pretty racist.

Musk’s focus on Tolkien “turning in his grave” is a marker of how he is part of the group that also dislikes the series. Neil Gaiman isn’t a big fan of Musk’s opinion, though-

The tweet has been doing the rounds of the internet, and it’s absolutely hilarious because Gaiman has nothing to do with the new LOTR adaptation.

This person has no idea that Gaiman, just like us, has nothing to do with the show-

While it’s kind of funny to see a plethora of people fussing over Gaiman’s tweet, the author finally hilariously responded to one of them-

rings of power however, received many good reviews from critics despite Musk’s small review and bizarre Twitter feud with Gaiman. Musk’s comments, on the other hand, added no value to the conversation rather than inciting racist fanboys to justify their hatred towards the TV show’s diverse cast.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
