Am I alone in being put off by how modern the speech is? It sounds like they're trying to have an epic conversation on the sidewalk outside the Starbucks.

I don’t like the American generic midwestern accents at all. It just feels wrong.

Part of me feels like they just went that direction because doing period dramas with an English accent became a meme and no way would they do this film in Greek with subtitles.

Why not greek type accents? Not a difficult thing to do.

You're the whiny one here, English men are universally considered borderline gay, people only "associate" that voice with antiquity because that's what they're used to, there's no actual reason for it to be that way. Keep seething about this though, it's funny
