Elon Musk May Not Like The Rings Of Power, But Here's What Fans Are Saying About The Lord Of The Rin
There still are five extra episodes of the first season of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power to move, but most of the people have already formed very cast reviews on the show. Some critics have already concluded that the Amazon Prime Video series is about to become the most expensive disaster in the history of tv.
There had been questions positioned over the tone, motivation and pacing of the display, which is supposed to function a prequel to the classic novel by English writer J. R. R. Tolkein. Just this reality, that there's no original subject material to borrow from the creator for the show doesn’t sit down moderately smartly with many.
Elijah Wood played Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson’s big screen trilogy adaptations. Even he at some point gave the impression not to be on board with the thought of a prequel series, when he used an emoji to seemingly trash the show on Twitter. Wood has, however, been much more supportive of Rings of Power in recent years.
That is certainly not the case for international’s richest guy Elon Musk, who just lately took to the identical social media platform to percentage his thoughts on the show.
