Not high art, but refreshing to see actual acting in a comic book movie.

Especially after they made an entire island of warrior women do Israeli accents just to paper over the fact that their lead actress can’t fake a different one.

    Specifically, Pacino’s “Cuban” accent was so bad that actual Cuban cast members were trained to mimic it just to help it be less glaring. Additionally, Pitt’s “pikey” was so nonsensical, the other actors couldn’t even begin to approximate it and the disconnect is visible onscreen in their reaction time to his lines.

    I thought that was intentional, like part of his character, that he speaks nonsensically.

    He’s saying that his bar for high art is higher than “other comic book movies” but still pretty low.
    
    To use the metaphor from the meme, he’s swam in a lake, but still not the ocean.

Do we know what Scythian accents sound like? Because the Amazons were based on Scythians, so that would be the most accurate accent.

  My best guess: not Modern English with an Israeli accent

    I mean, you could assume that you understand the language that they are speaking, in which case English can reach the biggest audience.
