Along the same lines, he excluded from this opinion one of the female characters “only Galadriel is brave, intelligent and nice,” he said. She is an elf from the Noldor clan, who in this installment will have an important role, as predicted by the first glimpse of history.
Musk also responded to those who disagreed with him. “90% of my comments are bots,” she exaggerated. But what the billionaire who tries to reach Mars says does not seem to be reflected in the figures of the streaming portal.
Amazon Prime revealed that its premiere had 25 million viewers, becoming a milestone for the platform to date. This would be the best premiere in the history of Amazon.
“It is the tens of millions of fans who are enjoying Middle-earth, clearly with the same excitement as us, who are our true measure of success,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios.
