Damn, I would have blown up at that. Dunno if you kept calm or not, but I hate that shit.
Damn, how did I not realise that was Michonne!
Agree. Two good movies. But there are so many better ones with quality writing or simply more entertaining.
Nothing quite like a terribly done saffa accent

I normally do, but find myself regretting the aggression more than if I just try to keep a lid on it. I get in far too many arguments with strangers on the tram for example.
You've said it again!
It would make a change for the token character of different ethnicity to die wouldn't it ;-)
I once had to go with a colleague to do some client training and one of the important managers was South African with a very strong accent
Needles to say, you we're a bit disrespectful to this guy, but let’s call the whole thing a thoroughly nice chap, and doesn’t matter what race he is.
As a person who's been to South Africa about 15 times, has South African parents, and is married to a South African... I thought Serkis' Afrikaner accent was really really good (the wife thought so too).
Yeah but have you seen Alan Partridge?
I haven't seen the movie, however I can't help imagine that line coming from Arnold Schwarzenegger. Followed by get to the choppa!Honestly, ‘da powa of deh blak pantha will now be stripppd aweh’
The accents were wild and all over the place.
Apparently T'Challa's accent is supposed to be kind of a mix of a few different accents from across Africa cos they wanted Wakandans to have a distinct accent that still sounded appropriate for the region.
Thankfully, there was a more interesting battle with the pro Killmonger v. anti Killmonger people happening outside which made up for it.Interesting point. A lot of people I talk to seem to think Brits and Irishmen do American accents better than Americans do Brit accents. I don't think this is true for the most part as a lot of Brit actors are not very convincing to me, and way more Brits in the business need to learn American accents than the other way round. Clive Owen, Colin Farell, Gerald Butler, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Michael Caine and Jason Statham for instance are terrible at American accents. Andrew Howard is terrible too, these guys just act out their native accents 99% of the time
To be fair that's a small sample size and most of them aren't particularly good actors full stop. Genuine question, which American actors do you recall having pulled off an English accent well?
There's more, those are just at the top of my head. Most Brit actors think they can get away with half assed generic newscaster accents. I can tell all the time even when I don't recognize the actors that they're probably not American. Even that Maggie chick on the Walking dead does a terrible Georgia accent. There's not nearly enough a large sample size of American actors doing Brit accents against Brit actors doing American accents. To answer your question though, Americans suck at British accents but my gripe is with people assuming Brit actors do better at our accents. Anthony Hopkins is amazing at American accents and Hugh Laurie is decent.
It's a small pool, but Robert Downey Jr is decent in Sherlock Holmes movies. The actors who played the butler in The Nanny sitcom is American. The late John Hillerman (Magnum P.I) was Texan
The best for me is Idriss Elba, when I first learned that he wasn't american I was stunned.
I actually like that they didn't try to standardise an accent. I'd wager that it was a decision from Coogler. If they don't all sound like they're from Southern Africa they all sound soft.
