A tiny part of me thinks the movie might go in the direction of commentary about Irish-American/African-American race relations, but I doubt it.

Hi, Irish guy here, I’ll just go ahead and give everyone in the world an ‘Irish Race Card’ pass on leprechauns because... they’re leprechauns. They’re not real.

Will it contain a scene of a guy having sex with a hot chick who came out his TV and proceeds to turn into a robot with a bald rubber head and rubber breasts that then electrocutes him, as seen in Leprechaun 3?

Eh. Nobody cares.

This take is poor. 3 out of 10.

It’s especially bad coming from a site dedicated to essentially fringe culture and fandoms.

Oh, Heavens, let’s do save the poor Irish from the terrifically hurtful stereotype of Leprechauns.

Also, I look forward to your article on banning Lucky Charms.

You know, of all the many severe problems with the Leprechaun movies, racism against the Irish was not one that had ever really occurred to me.

It’s a fun franchise. Sure, there are the, uh, lesser entries, but it’s also a predominately ‘90s straight-to-video slasher franchise starring a goblin-like leprechaun. I for one would love a new, more classic film with the character and premise.

Jesus Christ, now I know what I’ll be thinking about when I go to bed tonight and decided to sleep in the middle of the bed.

Whatever happened to “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me”?

That is true, but I interpreted Luka as a trans woman, as Luka was born male, but seemed to her live as a woman in every way but title (which honestly I took as a form of dismissing her transgenderness (?), but I admittedly have no knowledge of how transpeople are treated/respected/acknowledged in Japan). Plus Luka’s…

Hey now, that’s something to be ignored, like the fact that Korea and Venezuela are also included in the ban.

WOW! You are representative of why this nation is so divided. Try to put some of your hate aside and use what brain you may have to work toward the good of all the people!

No.

DC is trying.
