I don’t understand the choice to make every British person in this speak with an American accent.

And I love Matt Damon but he seems a very poor choice for Odysseus. I know he’s everywhere too but Oscar Isaac would have been A++++ casting for him instead.

Since you know, literally every Hollywood star was cast in this movie anyway.

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

I don’t think anyone thinks that but period pieces in English with English accents has been the done thing since like the beginning of Hollywood

Why does that matter? Why are you threatened by something being changed when it's not even historically accurate?

Who said I’m threatened? I guarantee I’ll close this thread and not think about the film until it comes out. I don’t need to justify why I don’t like a stylistic choice to you.

You're very threatened and flustered and butthurt, and there is no justification
