They never explain it but I don't think they needed too. It's pretty common for foreigners to code-switch when they're away from home. People lose accents too.

@Kumkani - They don't lose their accents in two years. My parents have accents and have kept them for decades.
She couldn't keep up the accent, and don't blame Black Widow. She's never had an accent; not even in the Black Widow movie it seems.

@Kumkani - Most foreigners never fully lose their accents over a lifetime, though. They improve, but the accent's still there.

@Battabing - Speaking from personal experience, a lot of immigrants especially if they are young do tend to lose the accent. Well not exactly lose but sound more American to try to fit in. Its hard to explain but I tend to do that too. I guess subconsciously my mind just goes this is how a word is prounounced by an Anerican so try to imitate that. Plus Wanda was specifically trained to hide her accent as well just like she had to dye her hair when they had to hide post CA-Civil War.

@Battabing - My dad didn't speak a lick of English when he arrived in the U.S. at age 17, but went straight into the U.S. work force (full-time). By the time he was in his 20s/30s, he had no accent. By contrast, my mom didn't speak English, arrived in the U.S. around same age, had a few part-time jobs in the U.S. then stopped working when she married my dad ... at age 81, she has a heavy, heavy accent that never improved. So, i think it depends on the circumstances.

@aurorsand146 - I'm sorry, when was Wanda trained to hide her accent?

@Battabing - When Cap's team went in hiding after Civil War bc they were considered fugitives, that's why they all looked different in Infinity War. And also bc Joe Russo said "We have intentionally tried to strip that accent away for a couple of reasons. One is, you'll notice at the beginning of [Captain America:] Civil War, that Black Widow is training her how to be a spy. And two, she has now been on the run and one of the most distinguishing characteristics that she has is her accent. So if you're gonna try to disguise yourself, or hide yourself, or not be caught, you're going to try to limit those trigger warnings that would make it easy for someone to identify you, which would be inclusive of her accent."

It’s still there, you can hear it in the trailers when she’s snapped out of whatever is going on.

“Basically, because it’s just, look... the thing is. We wanted to maintain an authentic approach, but basically my cast mate who’s my brother is British so we catered to that, but with all intents and purposes we wanted to keep it, but basically I’m not Russian, so it’s still there, she’s just American now. And yeah... so that’s that.”


Basically...

@generictheeric - watched that the other day ironically, Rockwell’s Hammer is definitely one of the highlights

Wonder if they will bother retconning her and quicksilver back to being Magneto's kids when he shows up in the movies. Would be great if they do, but I guess Magneto does have other kids they can use to tell those stories.
Se4M4NSt4ine
Se4M4NSt4ine - 1/18/2021, 2:06 AM
@dracula - I think if they do bring Quicksilver back to life in Wanda Vision somehow, and it’s revealed that the scepter did unlock the hidden mutant gene inside them - when the X-Men come around and Magneto more importantly, Wanda and Quicksilver could be Magentos and the X-Men’s way in to adapting them both, perhaps not blood related, but Magneto takes a liking to the twins and tries to manipulate his way into their lives as a Father figure, giving them a sense of belonging.

Deonox - 1/18/2021, 7:25 AM
@Se4M4NSt4ine - I think a great way to Bring in mutants is to have it so that the infinity stones accelerated the X-Gene. Like some mutants did exist prior but they were so far and few. Or maybe Strucker's research was based on experiments shield was doing back in the day. But when the snap happened, the people who were brought back had their genes awaken as an evolutionary response. Meaning now there's an influx of mutants everywhere creating an arms race of super humans and public unease
Se4M4NSt4ine
Se4M4NSt4ine - 1/18/2021, 7:37 AM
@Deonox - yeah I’d rather mutants be a secluded minority that people are scared of, and use real race and minority oppression as a base line to help ground the story.

You could have En Sabah Nur reawaken from the snap, the surge of X-genes. And as the opposite reaction, have Professor X forced to come out of the shadows and use his school as a positive force to recruit those in need, eventually striking up a deal with the government to create the X-Men.

@dracula - Make him an absentee father and have it turn out that the kids didn't know the Dad who raised them was their step-dad.

There are ways to do it for sure.
Deonox
Deonox - 1/25/2021, 5:41 PM
@Se4M4NSt4ine - I like where you're going but maybe not Apocalypse for the first villain. They can do something similar to X-men Evolution and have the brotherhood lead by Mystique before introducing Magneto in a sequel

"Sokovian accent" discourse has always been silly to me. Not sure how it manages to be a thing every year or so

On Another Topic:

Batwoman aired it season 2 premier

It was better, really most of the episode was just introducing her and quickly wrapping up all the now wasted season 1 plots (sucks but this is a new beginning).

The new lead, seems to have a lot more passion of the role than Ruby Rose did so thats good, although really they could have just made her Stephanie Brown, maybe change the suit colors from red to purple.

Still don't know if it will work, like I said they had to rush through a lot in this episode, so next episode should be a mostly clean slate.

Also hopefully they have some plan for Kate. Ruby wasn't great, but killing her off screen (sort of) is just so cheap, they really couldn't get Ruby Rose for 1 episode, makes you wonder if the her leaving wasn't as willing as we have been led to believe.

Blergh - 1/18/2021, 3:00 AM
@dracula - Rose certainly seems to have left on bad terms, I assume she didn't get out of the role what she wanted and saw she would earn more with her movie parts. Thus leaving the role behind to the ire of her co-workers who didn't want her back

Just wait until Michael Fassbender appears, that’ll make a few jaws drop

Very much doubt it tho

In Civil War it was kinda there but by Infinity War it was gone.
The last time Olsen commented on that it was "she lives in states now and her english/accent improved" which is fine but now saying "its absolutely still there" ummm no.
Besides who cares in the end 🤷‍♀️
Cant wait for ep 3 !!!

Good answer actually. At least she thought about it.

It’s still there, you hear from time to time, like you would with someone losing an accent.
toylled
toylled - 1/18/2021, 2:56 AM
She is a reality warping witch, and you fanboys get mad about her losing her accent? Maybe she lost it on purpose to fit in with the Americans... she was branded a terrorist on American soil in civil war, just helps her blend in more when she drops it. A non issue and I'm completely fine with it.
Blergh
Blergh - 1/18/2021, 3:01 AM
It's simply a part of the character that hasn't worked but was rectified by the producers. Letting it slip into a bubble of forgetting is fine by me

The North American accent is part of the whole sitcom thing. She'll probably have it when out of the illusion or whatever it is.
