Set in made up fantasy world

>watch American show
>people speak in a clear way, easy to understand

>watch show from the UK
>people just pronounce things like they want with no logic behind it
>4 characters saying the same word they both pronounce it differently

Thank God they don't make any show that is worth watching.

The American accent immediately breaks any immersion

All European fantasy takes place in medieval England. I blame anglo supremacy.

Fuck off you fucking meme country. Your entire country is DUDE weed and pancakes lmao.

Because Received Pronunciation or a well spoken English accent is the most clear one you can have. It lends itself well to projecting the words and adds gravitas to the character.

>brutish warriors have Scottish accent

English is extremely similar to Hebrew which was the common tongue in the ancient world. Everyone was trilingual back then and could speak Hebrew, Latin, Greek. English is the common tongue nowadays - so when creating a fantasy story, that’s the best way to reach as many people as possible.

The posh accent is only a couple hundred years old though, but it makes people think of some sort of bygone archaic time. If we went for realism Medieval English speakers all had an shepherds accent, it resembles pirate speak to a lot of people. This is how people talked even back during the revolutionary war in the 18th century.

People like theatrics though and even though real life is more interesting by a long shot- people tend to be suckers for the way Hollywood does things. In fact if it weren’t for Hollywood the posh English accent would have died like the transatlantic did. As you can see the transatlantic was retired and without any media making it normal it’s a dead accent & not taken seriously whatsoever. Therefore the posh English accent is your modern theatrical accent, and since it’s used it’s widely accepted.

Without using exotic locations that were famously ancient (which that in itself has power in its presence), you’d really just have to CG everything ; as you can see even the best imitations lack the presence and authenticity of actual architecture and landscapes that have been around since antiquity.

If you want real good stories look to actual history and dig for it. The settings and lush stories and sheer insanity that can’t be made up ; by far make any fantasy or Hollywood look like a drab , boring, artificial waste of time.

You’re literally watching a modern incarnation of Errol Flynn in tights swashbuckling around and hoping to be entertained. If you take it too seriously that’s just gonna break your heart lol

This felt weird in the film Centurion, where the Roman soldiers mostly played by Brits were stuck behind enemy lines Scotland. It ended up feeling like a bunch of English lads trying to escape Scotland and the Scottish.

This (or close enough, some of it is just familiarity). I've sung in choirs that use it because the reduced number of diphthongs and R sounds are easier to synchronize with a large group.
Often British actors speaking in their normal, non-performing accent don't have that same gravitas

Slavs can't act.
Gotta go for the next best thing.

That's because Dutch sounds like a retard speaking English just like American English.

Horrible opinion. British accents are rightfully the default.

Hardly ancient or fantastical, but they didn't British accents in Amadeus. Maybe it's because American accents had been invented by that point

American English works better for Roman
Latin, a la The Eagle.

there are so many british actors in hollywood is because they are CHEAPER

Okay genius, give us a sample of English spoken with an Egyptian accent (the ancestor of Coptic, not Egyptian Arabic).

I can't even be bothered with it anymore. Even if I like the premise, if they use Britspeak or the "Solemn Whisper" in place of actual acting, I shut it off.

Kek

which film

Honestly I much prefer everyone just speaking british than everyone putting on a fake accent every time they speak.

The Mid-Atlantic accent is the best English has ever sounded, or will ever sound.

That's a London accent of the time. Other parts of the country had their regional accents.
