They’ve given the new Hobbits shitty Irish accents

  1. Tolkien would be displeased, often people would liken Hobbits to the Irish and he would reiterate that the Hobbits were not based on Irish people but English country folk. One of Tolkien’s aims was to produce a ‘British’ mythology, given British mythology was lacking, he discussed how Ireland already had a rich mythology and didn’t need one invented.
