Chirst…… I have been avoiding everything about this series after they sacked the Tolkien Literature experts as they “kept disagreeing with the directors and producers about the show”.
What. The. Fuck.
“Elves have farests ta pratect”
A neutral Irish accent must be one of the most difficult to actually pull off considering how poorly it’s nearly always done. Especially when more than likely this person worked with a professional accent coach.
Meryl Streep in Dancing at Lughnasa and Anjelica Huston in Mrs. Brown are the exceptions
*”They’re after me lucky charms Gandalf!”*
Christ alive that was painful to listen to, if you can’t even get your actors to do a passable accent maybe just go with one they can pull off instead? Or you know, spend some of that gargantuan budget and hire so actual Irish actors.
What 1000 quid for an Irish voice reader for day on a multi-million $ project.?
This shit was ok in the 60’s when the Irish person had to get the boat over and never see their family again but this could have been done on Skype.
I didnt have high expectations for the show, but I didnt expect my expectations to get even lower. Christ that was awful.
Leprechauns alive and well in Middle Earth.
dwarfs their minds…
Ey didley ey, can they fuck off with the leprauchan accent shite
Honest to fuck would it have been so hard to get an Irish person.
The fuck is this.
Haha, I think I seen some of there set pieces, up over bray head a few weeks ago
Weirdest part is that I’m pretty sure that’s a Welsh actress speaking.
