Some people are just a sucker for a bad american accent

[(Anonymous)]

lol

[philstar22]

For me personally it's the look. He just looks better with that facial hair. Also, everyone looks better with a cape. Then again, I liked his voice already. I just didn't find him physically attractive before.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL... It's not good, that's for sure. Also sounds really unnatural coming out of his mouth which is a shame because he looks good in the role.

[(Anonymous)]

As a west-coast Canadian, his American accent sounds fine to me. *shrugs*

However, I find it waaaay less attractive than his natural accent. It's not that I find it unconvincing, I just find his voice very sharp and nasal when he's speaking with an American accent, which is nothing like the deeper, softer, more rounded tones of his Brit accent.

[(Anonymous)]

You probably hear a lot of inaccurate Canadian accents in cinema that non-Canadians think are fine. Honestly, his particular English accent doesn't do it for me, it's a little 'public school twat' for my taste, but it's definitely less twangy than whatever he was aiming for with the Yank accent.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually no, I can't think of any Canadian accents I've thought were bad. Some are very east coast, which isn't relevant to my experience, but that's about it.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't get the hate for his American accent either. American southerner here. I mean, sure, it isn't 100% perfect, and on a DS rewatch, I detected maybe 3 or 4 words that were said awkwardly or pronounced a bit off. But nothing on the level of "oh, just stop it, you silly Brit." Of course, this is the first time I had ever seen the guy in anything, so I wasn't focused on the accent at all. Until people started criticizing it, I had no idea where he was even from. No lie.

[(Anonymous)]

Some people notice accents more than others.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it seems that way. I kind of like not having a strong ear for accents. I can still tell the really bad ones (like pretty much every 90s tv actor tasked with putting on an accent for a single episode). It's just the mediocre ones I think are fine.

And the flip side is, I have never in my life felt the need to put on subtitles to understand what someone was saying. (Except Brad Pitt in Snatch, but that's a given.)

[(Anonymous)]

This. There are actors I genuinely did not realize were not North American. Also, my dad was born in London but to me he has no accent, but friends and co-workers have commented he does.

Also, people who say Mads Mikkelson has a strong accent, but I don't hear any.

[(Anonymous)]

I think he sounds a LOT like an American who spent a while abroad in Britain, for example for several semesters in a posh university. Which I'll just take as my headcanon for the MCU Dr. Strange character.

[sparklywalls]

He's ok but I completely relate to that ultrasound meme "oh than's Benedict Cumberbatch, he's in everything" as that's how it felt for a few years.

The only time I've even been a little bit attracted to him was in the early Sherlock days but that soon died, mostly because of the bad writing and crazy fandom killing any interest I had in that show.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I love a Sherlock Holmes adaptation and thought he was good in the role but I couldn't sit through those awful plots.

[(Anonymous)]

The first sason definitely had the best plots.

[(Anonymous)]

I think he's more conventionally attractive as Doctor Strange than he's ever been before. The facial hair in particular really sculpts his face and gives it balance (and I say that as someone who, in general, doesn't like facial hair).

And I mean, Marvel has a hell of a knack for creating charismatic male characters who you just like. It can be formulaic, sure, but it's a pretty effective formula.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, he just looks more attractive as this character.

[greghousesgf]

I thought he was a good Smaug but that was it.

[(Anonymous)]

His haircut and facial hair suit him very well.

I'm a little on the fence about him.

[(Anonymous)]

I only watched the first series of Sherlock and liked him in that and I thought he did a decent job in The Imitation Game. But having only watched the character in Infinity War and Endgame, I guess he was fine, even if I didn't care much for the character. I watched Atonement, but ended up disliking every character in it and so have very little objectivity for their performances. The bits and pieces of Star Trek Into Darkness I've seen him in, well, he didn't impress me. He can be very funny in interviews, though, so there's that.

[(Anonymous)]

He's brilliant in Cabin Pressure.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

[(Anonymous)]

Career Best Performance.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL. I had a similar thing happen, though for me it was that I didn't understand why people found him attractive until his role in Star Trek, even though that was a terrible movie.
