Every character is their own type of infuriatingly annoying idiot, every single time without failure. It's amazing!

It's more that Sherlock and chunks of Doctor Who were written in a sleep-deprived grief haze while he was caring for parents in hospice and he refused to delegate when he clearly couldn't find time to self-edit.

People always say it's hard for Americans to do British accents but I think it's really the other way around because American accents are unique in a lot of ways and every single British person can be adequately imitated by going WOT WOT

you simply can't recognize the subtle differences in our 100 micro accents. there's many flavors of redneck

In my limited experience British people are good at stereotypical "southern redneck" accents, but nobody wants to sound like that on purpose I think the tragic truth is that all of our stereotypes and cultural touchpoints are like, watching TV, being fat, driving large cars, etc. hard to base an accent on that

American accents used to be a lot more pronounced but since the introduction of radio and tv have been drastically homogenized. If you listen to any of the recordings made of people from the civil war era or shortly thereafter they sound weird as hell.

pog boyfriend posted:every single adaption fucks up irene adler and it makes me so mad. theres nothing wrong with the original stories quote:In the season five episode of The Flash entitled "Goldfaced" (2019), detective Sherloque Wells meets Renee Adler (portrayed by Kimberly Williams-Paisley), the Earth-1 doppelgänger of his five ex-wives.[24] She is later shown to be a metahuman with possible telekinetic powers; upon seeing this, Sherloque vows to protect her from metahuman-serial killer Cicada. During the episode, Sherloque also has an encounter with four of his ex-wives, all of whom are variants of Adler. Now that they know which Earth he is on, they demand their back alimony payments be met within a month, or they will have a multiverse-traveling bounty hunter come and collect the payments for them.[25]

Stux posted:america has the least accent variation of any country despite being nearly as big as europe. it s impressive honestly The US has a ton of variation in accents. The problem is a lot of them are pretty low-key and never represented even in American TV because actors will just flatten out the way they speak there unless it's a show set the south or on the east coast. And even then they just talk in a really exaggerated version of an accent. Americans also aren't used to listening for accents or have any idea what most other regions "sound" like because there's not as many accent stereotypes, so they'll hear someone speaking differently but have no idea why. I had a friend who moved to Chicago from Indiana and she constantly had people asking her if she was from the South or even asking if she was British because she had a slight rural twang.

I think the first episode of Dracula was good because it was set in olden times Transylvania. Then they swapped to modern days and the show was bad.

you can tell a lot from the words people use too which is a big part of our accents. like crick, which is a particularly small creek but still larger than a stream

The North Midwest vowel shift happening in the US right now is probably one of the largest summary changes in English speech since the GVS.
