yeah i really liked the conversation, and the guy who is playing Elrond legitimately sounded remorseful. Probably the scene that made me get over how he looked and start enjoying the character
Well, and Galadriel is one of the oldest elves, from the years of the trees. Elrond, in comparison, was born like 1000 years later, well after the trees got ate, and is a half-elf besides (though as a half-elf that chose to be immortal, he is basically considered an elf). So, for the events of the forging of the rings of power, Elrond is about 1000 years old, and Galadriel is almost 2000, so like, they would have somewhat different perspectives on time.
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.
The inorganic part would be the executives telling the writers to include diversity to drive up controversy and make headlines. Its exactly what the chuds say is happening, ironically
It’s exactly the kind of thing his most rabid fans would want him to say. Gotta remind everyone you’re their thought leader and a powerful avatar in the culture war.

Musk added this in a later tweet.
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

Yeah, she's been searching for Sauron at least 400 years longer than the actual war took. The other elves are right.

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.
