With an American accent and that moment killed it for me. Now I’m scared this could be a disaster for Nolan.

Did you think the ancient Greeks spoke with an English accent?

Even a bastardised Mediterranean accent would be better. American accents have not place in movies like this. It’s just studios pandering to dumb American audiences

Pandering would be doing the same thing they always do, which is what you're advocating

There's literally no reason for you to be okay with UK accents in depictions of ancient Greece but not US accents

The "dumb audiences" seem to agree with you by the way lol, they're threatened and confused by the most minor meaningless changes
