Why can't they just speak with a different accent? Maybe an accent that resembles the language the characters should be speaking. At least give them a rhotic accent. North American English is more conservative when it comes to pronunciation of the "r" at the end of syllables, so characters would sound more archaic if they actually said "water" instead of "watuh".
>North American English is more conservative when it comes to pronunciation of the "r" at the end of syllables, so characters would sound more archaic if they actually said "water" instead of "watuh". But pretty liberal when it comes to pronouncing the T in "water" like an actual T and not some weird r/d mashup.

Americans associate the educated British accent with antiquity, authority and aristocracy. It makes the cast seem important and historical
Andrew Powell
>movie is set in Britain >everybody is black
Wyatt Wright
>movie is set in Scotland >character discovers pew wa`ah Cheels!
the fun thing about the UK is there are so many different accents, The Death of Stalin used this so well
Lucas Ross
True, but, on overall, American English is still more archaic than British English when it comes to pronunciation.
Jace Cooper
No I'm serious, it's puzzling the shit out of me. I've watched a lot of British stuff, and it's really only been the last four or five years that every cast looks like downtown Chicago.
William Young
>more conservative when it comes to pronunciation of the "r" at the end of syllables, so characters would sound all of those examples are how 60iq retards speak on council estates
Jeremiah Nelson
Not really, maybe in the late 1700s, but modern American English is niggerised and not at all archaic.
Luke Fisher
Diversity quotas innit m8
Nothing gets greenlit these days if the cast doesn't have every race and sexual orientation represented
Bentley Martin
Glad I don't live in England.
Carson Hall
Yeah, everyone knows there are tons of different accents in the UK. That goes for every country with a big enough population. But, come on, you know what I mean.
Jace Bell
They have more "british light" accents. It's common, but there are exceptions.
I remember tha Gaul from Gladiator having an explicitly German accent.
Brayden Brown
yeah but the difference is that it's accents in native english speakers, which is exotic for american and other audiences and helps immerse them in a historical period.
Adam Wood
dunno, the UK seems like an exception when it comes to the sheer density of accents, look at the soulsborne games for example
yeah basically this you're not supposed to think about it, that's the point
Logan Wood
It's because Britain was the last great empire, so when films or shows are made these days with some great civilization, the Queen's English is used. County dialects for the peasants of course
Alexander Collins
Water doesn't not have a D in it. American pronunciations are stupid
Camden Kelly
Reminder that Britain is neither London or the USA.
Michael Martin
>Nothing gets greenlit these days if the cast doesn't have every race and sexual orientation represented you mean black other races don't count as 'diverse'
Liam Hughes
Do you think that's enough to get the copypasta posted
Ryder Rivera
-ter and -der don't sound the same at all in american
Jayden Ross
>look at the soulsborne games for example I don't play video games because I'm not a fucking manchild, grow up.
Landon Gomez
they count but only if they are gay/trans, blacks are the only minorities that can be straight as an arrow
Liam Scott
british accents are a meme
Christopher Brooks
Based.
Owen Wilson
The T in "stupid" and the T in "water", also don't sound the same, which is exactly the problem.
Adrian Sullivan
>I'm not a fucking manchild but you go on Yea Forums?
>movie is set in Ancient Greece >nobody speaks ancient greek >movie is set in Ancient Rome >nobody speaks latin >movie is set in Medieval Europe >nobody speaks in a local temporaneous language
What's more brutal and savage? Ending every single word with a schwa or pronouncing the T like an R
Evan Allen
proto-burgers, like father like son
Benjamin Bennett
more like burgers are quasi brits
Kayden White
It's to give American audiences the impression of exotism.
That's how retarded Americans are. Bad guys and foreign guys get British accents.
>yfw Tarkin speaks like your school teacher >Han Solo is a dirty yank >Rey speaks like your school teacher >you're now all confused and have a boner for maths
Brody Powell
star wars was intentionally referencing the american revolution george lucas called it poetry
What we think of as "the British accent" is a fairly recent invention. It's a general consensus that 1700s English on both sides of the Atlantic sounded more like modern-day American than modern-day British
Gabriel Nelson

Ayden Long
Most Americans pronounce "water" and "wodder" identically.
Tyler Walker
Where do English people speak like this? Glad I’ve never been there.
Christopher Price
I read it on Yea Forums ten years ago
Juan Lewis
Not most. In New York and Jersey, they'll say "Wodah" or "waudah". In Boston, it's something else altogether.
Most Americans are fat, however. So you can't really hear their accents because a cheeseburger is obstructing the airways.
>people who aren't american sound different! Why are Americans like schoolchildren who've been opened up to the world outside their house for the first time? I never see this obsessive accent shit come from anyone but Americans.
Jonathan Lewis
Because Americans are sheltered as fuck. In Europe, you're bathing in diversity, but Americans only have America 2 dwellers (Canadians), and Mexicans to the south. They aren't exposed to anyone else, so it's all exotic to them.
Henry Cooper
All these Bongs seething over America because they had to tell off their entire Empire to Americans because of a fat, alcoholic, zionist, jew worshipping "prime minister" sold out his people to save his broke estate. Sad!
Mason Ortiz
...
Leo Jenkins
Should have the bong on the ground with the Americans saying "give me every single valuable oversees asset at 1/4 it's value because our prime minister refused peace in the summer of 1940 because his zionist handlers demanded it" kek
Asher Hall
Why did your "empire" get sold off at 1/4 it's value to the CHAD AMERICANS to suffer a NEEDLESS war after Hitler repeatedly tried to make peace with his Germanic cousins and openly said that not only would he leave the British Empire in tact but he would also help remove invaders, including his at the time slavic allies.
Brits are embarrassing. You got JEWED so fucking hard that you still think your shitty island matters after it got bent over by American-Jew cut COCK.
Brayden Robinson
>cheels the fuck are yanks getting the l from it's clearly chee-urs
Connor Brooks
I wonder why you don’t hear many Yorkshire accents in movies
No it isn't, this is a meme based purely on some Yank accents having the rhotic r and comparing it only to received pronunciation. The most unchanged accent is the West Country accent, listen to any production of Shakespeare done in the original pronunciation and tell me it sounds at all American.
Michael Baker

Chase Russell

Benjamin Watson
cry more faggot. we are just better than you
Nathan Baker
Innernet
Chase Carter
No.
Charles Brown
This. And as most of the cast are American or British then that’s their first language, it makes more sense than hearing bad impersonations of cheesy foreign accents.
>they aren’t exposed to anyone else I must be imagining the 80,000 somalian refugees Obongo and c*tholics dropped off in my hometown. >“oi right oi right what’s all this then?” I would love to hear a british accent but instead we just got houndourans distributing fentanyl
