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.

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.

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.

DA

?? I'm sorry but are you kidding me??

I'm Canadian, and no matter where you live, you know when the accent is bad. Mostly because Canadians are generally given the Newfie accent as a whole.

Given the Newfie accent? Uh, no. Newfoundlanders don't say "hoser" for one.

Two, Newfoundland English is a separate dialect of English - with its own dictionary and everything - not an accent. It's so diverse in its dialects that it differs from community to community. It's possible to figure out where someone is from on the Island of Newfoundland based on their speech.

Three, actors who are not Newfoundlanders tend not to even try to approximate the dialects. Dame Judy Dench opted to go with an Irish-inspired accent for her role in "The Shipping News" rather than attempt it. That Irish tinge made the character sound as if they came from the Avalon Peninsula.

The "Canadian Accent" that's approximated in most film or TV by non-Canadians is actually a form of Ontario accent.

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.

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.)

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)]

To be fair, a lot of North Americans are bad at any North American accent that's not their own, too.

[(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.
