Neil Gaiman’s takedown of this ‘Elon Musk’ troll was electric

We’re looking forward to watching Amazon’s new Lord of the Rings epic but response among fans has so far has been divided.

We mention this because one viewer sought the opinion of someone who knows a thing or three about fantasy, author Neil Gaiman, whose The Sandman adaption can be found on Netflix right now.

It started when Elon Musk shared his not entirely unpredictable opinion about Jeff Bezos’s new baby.

Almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk or both. Only Galadriel is brave, smart and nice.

Someone called @doggie777moon alerted Neil Gaiman and asked him what we thought.

And Gaiman’s response was 10/10.

Elon Musk doesn't come to me for advice on how to fail to buy Twitter, and I don't go to him for film, TV or literature criticism. https://t.co/WpyXhQlqIh
