>villain character has unexplained British accent. Why is this so common?
Because it's guaranteed to make you want to frick him.
America’s hate the British anon
British people are evil simple as
Because England is a godless wasteland
The British are inherently evil 9 times out of 10
I guess it's done to make them seem more distinguished. Has there ever been a goofy villain with a British accent?
All of the wienerney ones.
There's Mad Mod
Looks like a Gorillaz fan character
Not Cinemaphile, but the core from Portal 2 was the only character with a British accent, and was specifically designed to be a moron.
I HAVE A PLAN
IT INCLUDES YOU
I like how the dancing actually scares the goon. Like he's seen Rhubarb stab a fricker for throwing off his groove.
WHO
TELL ME NOW
The fox from the animated charlottes web sequel.
Do you really need ANOTHER fox husbando anon?
All I have is Nick WIlde...and Robin Hood... and Kurama... and Miles Prower... Mr Fox
I don't think thats too many
No Fox McCloud? or Fantastic Mr. Fox? or Swiper? or.. why are fox characters so damn good?
Fox McCloud is a video game only character, and Mr. Fox is Fantastic Mr. Fox. Swiper isn't husbando material in my books.
Tails is also (primarily) a video game character
But he also appears in Comics, Cartoons, and Movies making him on topic on Cinemaphile
Yes that's why it said primarily.
speaking of McCloud god damn do I miss British Wolf
>swiper
Never heard of people waifuing that one.
There are a lot of good foxes in books, anon.
Most credible accent for a villain. Can you imagine if your bad guy had a chink accent? "Ohhhh, herro, weah is boired dog prease?"
What generic villianous british accent? There are two. The mischevious upper class one and the grovelly lower class one.
>the grovelly lower class one
Warhammer40k Orks and...?
Don't forget the creepy British child voice too.
so you are trying to tell me that this semen demon goes ``CAM ON INGERLAND SCOR SOM FACKING GOALS`` when he opens his mouth?
No. It's the sexy and classy kind of British accent, not the "OI IT'S 7 BONG ON A CHEWSDAY INNIT" kind. Have a listen.
i would frick his worm infested butthole even if it was going to give me rabies
The word I think a lot of you guys are looking for is “posh.” Classy british sounding characters have posh british accents.
PERFIDIOUS ALBION STRIKES AGAIN
It's supposed to be intimidating when the bad guy is not only physically superior, but also more cultured.
>appears for like 2 scenes
>sings a song
>fricks off
Even the brits know that brits make the best villains
>unexplained
Are you fricking stupid? Show takes place in England (this is Fox Busters or however it was called right!?), bad guys talk wienerney. This has historic background since wienerney was only spoken by lower class and thus heard during bar fights.
There Murrican, that's more than you learn at school.
Bro it's not
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte%27s_Web_2:_Wilbur%27s_Great_Adventure
Charlotte’s Web never took place in England. Half the plot is about the family going to the State Fair.
It's an immediate way of conveying evil in a character. What are the English but our dark kin? The evil ones we broke away from to create a light in the darkness. Also they speak American improperly.
Nah, Albion is the Skeksis Emperor - ancient, rotting from within, but still intermittently capable of lurching back to life and frightening children. America is either the Chancellor or General.
>american with a british accent
Holy shit it's true, the fox in OP is voiced by an american kek.
Maybe it's supposed to be this instead
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_accent
Foxes are just associated with the UK, and recently Japan in western media.
Some people even think fox and the hound is set in the UK.
its Hollywood short hand for "sophisticated". and yes i know chavs are a thing
If I had to guess, I'd say it harks back to Victorian melodramas and the tendency for the villains to be played by scenery-chewing old-school Shakespearian ham actors like Tod Slaughter.
Because British people are evil scum
Evil is coded in British DNA.
>american speaking a british accent
lmao literally why?
Most modern English-language TV is Brits and Aussies speaking with American accents; perhaps they just wanted to mix it up.
This movie is like 20 years old though.
america at times goes out of their way to not hire actual british talent.
a few english shows got dubbed over to give charicters american accents
Because all brits are evil
Brit here. I think you guys are mostly confusing our accent with the one you here in Upper class society in the North Eastern United States. They all try to sound British to hide the fact they are as dumb as the rest of the country.
But with all the things the we did during the empire, the East India Company, Opium Wars, African colonisation and that piddly little war you had with us when were also focused on that dreadful Napoleon, I cannot discredit the whole evil trope you all associate with us.
Still, it's a distraction from your type of evil, what with the racism, the poverty, the blind faith that gobalists cannot work in their own interests, the dominance of corporations in culture, Donald Trump AND Joe Biden. I mean, A for effort, but by God you lot need help.
>the dominance of corporations in culture
That's kinda a thing everywhere, as is the racism, and poverty.
This is kinda a weird thing to say when you specifically pointed out bad things England has done, then just go with vague things that happen basically everywhere.
It's the safest option least likely to trigger any of the snowflakes looking to be offended.
For when you want a villain that thinks they're smarter than everyone. German accents are for villains that will slit your throat with a warm smile on their face.
Every other minority group in America will scream and cry racisms if portrayed negatively.
Yanks still seethe and let the British live rent free in their head centuries after the American Revolution.
Me personally I don't care, I love a good villain.
Because RP (Received Pronunciation) indicates status and wealth all things to make them less relatable to a hero who's presumably working clsss or at least poorer than them. wienerney works the other way when not spoken by Dick van Dyke trying his best indicates a more thuggish working class background perfect for more goonish characters tho they could also be the hero. this isn't getting into shit like estuary which is a mix of the two/a slurred RP or the various other accents around the area.
British "people" are evil, just look at the queen of their hive
Are we talking about Boris or Elizabeth?
Look at him. He is ripe with young.
Brits, Russians, Mexicans, etc think that being villains in films is cool and funny. Only Americans and East Asians get triggered by it.
