At first I thought it was just a meme from here but they really really hate this show. Sure some of the little people have silly Irish accents and are idiots but you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Sure the show may be a bit corporate, entertainment by committee etc but why is is driving the Irish so mad? Its not the first show with stupid Irish accents from America or the UK showing Irish people as being retarded and it won't be the last.
Why do the Irish hate Rings of Power so much?

This (pic related) is from here. The OP one is a screencap, I have checked and the Irish Independent and Irish Times are the two biggest circulation newspapers in Ireland and they both HATE IT
Alexander Scott
The Irish accents was a mystery to me. Why the fuck did everyone have one? The whole thing is a fucking mess
Eli Richardson
"Still, it’s hard to tell what they have to do with each other. A world has been destroyed, some kind of elven peacekeeping mission has run its course, and there’s a Greta Thunberg-ish lady elf who thinks Saruman is still out there somewhere."

But the Irish normally like being portrayed as retarded people who live in mud holes. Star Trek did it and no one said a word. All the SJW shows do it.
Jose Thompson
the hobbits are literally irish gypsies in the show
Ryan Sanchez
Bezo's own newspaper didn't like it. It's not surprising Irish broadsheets written by upper middleclass elites don't like being referenced as filthy ground/tree dwelling bumpkins. Their accents aren't even consistently Irish which makes the production look even more half-assed.
Brody Gomez
"But if you’ve always secretly thought that Irish kitsch was too white, then this might be the series for you."

Ouch.
Wyatt Lee
Irish redemption arc?
Mason Lewis
Irish user here, the accents are fucking terrible. They are a mix of Irish and at times they sound like they are from Cornwall.
Plus the show generally isn't that good despite the budget.
Benjamin Foster
>a Greta Thunberg-ish lady elf
This is very much on the nose.
Josiah Myers
>the hobbits are literally irish gypsies in the show
No one minded when brad pitt was a retarded Irish gypsy though actually called 'mickey'
Jace Baker
Amazon forgot to pay them off like they did the others. Those accents are horrendous though, like fucking dropping Darby O'Gill into Middle Earth. Why didn't they just go "Lawd dem rangs" with the Dwarf lady, it's the same nonsense.
Tyler Smith
Ireland has got to be full of inbred morons by now.
Christopher Adams
I'm becoming more and more certain that someone at Amazon is pulling a producers.
There's no way they fucked up this badly by accident.
Caleb Rivera
His pikey accent wasn't bad.
Joshua Thompson
Most of you moved to America.
Jayden Rodriguez
>you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
if they had Indian accents the SJWs would call it racist. in b4 some retarded zoomerbot explains you cant be racist against whites.
Isaiah Cooper
But the reason you hate it is because it is a Black guy doing the accent? Are Irish people racist? How come Irish people are fine when the English or Americans portray them as retarded illiterate simpletons but when a black man does it everyone looses their shit?
Gretta Elf is angry retard. If the cap fits wear it.
Christian Myers
no that's Washington DC.
Jayden Perry
Hudson Bailey

How about when he is in the IRA having fantasy battles with le ebil english because all irish people were in the IRA right (at least in Hollywood)??

Lincoln Gray
We've come full circle
Jackson Robinson
Just calling out an actor out for doing a shit version of an accent doesn't make you racist or angry towards them, it just points out that they are a shit actor.
Tyler Reyes
>why is is driving the Irish so mad
Amazon has a shitload of offices and also a data centre in Ireland and they have just announced to build at least two others despite people being concerned with environmental issues and taxing their electrical grid.
Basically the gigacorp taking advantage of Irish tax policy and whatnot is now taking a massive shit on them with giving some of the Harfoot gyppos shitty Irish accents, implying the Irish are literal potatoniggers.
Nathaniel Mitchell
>if they had Indian accents the SJWs would call it racist
The 'Irish' are not a real race anyway they are just white Catholics who are stupid. Just look at the simpsons or family guy or south park, everyone shows them as retarded worthless thrash ususally using valid protestant observation. Why is rings of power being attacked for it?
Nolan Fisher
American education everyone.
Aaron Hall
More likely a poor oppressed jaffa.
Owen Edwards
Irish jokes are funny though and there are not as many of them as Indians. It's not going to effect the shows uptake demographics at all.
Joshua Harris
We need more non-US and foreign reviewers calling shit like this out for being as bad as it is.
