to play that poorly and then talk about what a rock your wife is — classic move from the kind of dude who is married to maris.

he sounds like the dudes i spent those idle years around graduation with, smoking pot in suburban homes and going for walks in the woods before hitting wawa on the way back.

pelphry’s struggles don’t show so far at least. he’s perfect. not overdone either. he’s nailing not just the how in terms of pronunciation but also the way of speaking.

makes sense. i think i read somewhere its original are 18th century english in certain ways

eagles = iggles

lotta transplants in america. i moved there when i was 10. i can fall into it when im living back there but otherwise don’t have it. i don’t shudder when i have to refer to water during work meetings etc.

I spent my childhood trying to hide my Delco accent, and to think I could have been making the big bucks as an accent consultant.

Implication to me is Ruffalo is Midwestern who came there for work

drawing = drawling
water = wooder

this is basically blasphemy. it mocks god.

it’s bizarre and arguably proof that there is no god and the world is chaos.

i grew up in delco. i feel like i have genuine authority here. the guy who plays robbie is fucking nailing it. ruffalo isn’t really trying.

Yes. This. Thank you.

Character is a big issue in this country
