Why doesn’t Superman / Clark have the same accent as Ma and Pa Kent?

>>149361900 (OP)
Gunn is lousy at casting ...?
those also aren't even Kansas accents.

>>149361900 (OP)
A wizard did it!

>>149361900 (OP)
Because Clark is a bastard.

The influence of Johnny Carson's popularity on accents across the whole of the united states.

>>149361900 (OP)
Some people just don't. I've worked in phone support for years and whenever people tell me I don't have a regional accent all the time.

>>149361900 (OP)
they didn't teach him in Hebrew school

>>149361900 (OP)
He spent years in Metropolis

I don't have the same accent as my boomer parents. It's pretty normal.

Years in the big city won't completely erase the habits from your formative years back at home.

>>149363572
Ok kid

>>149363572
Yes it will. In fact you'll be changing habit in months if not weeks.

Why do Ma and Pa Kent sound like they are from ‘Bama?

>>149361900 (OP)
he grew up in a time with the internet and online gaming and so has a normal accent

>>149363741
have you ever seen how the average person in rural america looks anon

>>149361900 (OP)
holy fuck they even basedfied Pa Kent. he used to be an ultra chad with a full head of hair

>>149363776
>What should I have done? Just let them all die?
>Maybe, whatever. Fuck it, right?

Why doesn’t Superman use his advanced Kryptonian tech to cure his father’s baldness?

>>149363572
Tell that to RubberRoss and his now nonexistant accent.

>>149363947
the top really is not any better

>>149361900 (OP)
As someone from the south if you move to a big city in the north and want to work in jobs like say journalism you can't have a thick southern/hillbilly accent. You will just not be hired by a lot of places because of it.

>>149363947
I'm all for the ideal MoS interpretation which is that Ma and Pa Kent are scared and don't have all the answers and don't know how best to protect their son while knowing he is capable of so much more

But the film really doesn't do itself any factors when Pa Kent sacrifices himself for a dog in the most contrived setup possible

>>149363978
I view MoS like I view the Star Wars prequels.
The ideas are solid and sometimes it works in the movie but a lot of the dialogue and writing choices are so abysmal that they overshadow all the kernels of good to the point of making them damn near invisible.

>>149363994
yea pretty much
It's okay, I have the good version in my head

>>149363978
Pa Kent put his life on the line to save an innocent, sounds like something the classic Superman would do. not only that, but he sacrificed his life to make sure Clark wouldn't reveal his powers and end up as a government lab rat or ostracized by irrational people.

what about this is hard to understand? tornados don't ask for permission to fuck everything up.

>>149364022

>>149364022
Classic Superman would've disobeyed and saved his Dad instead of letting him die.

>>149361900 (OP)
Because it's a movie. Good Christ.

>>149364022
>stop, my invincible son!

I feel like Snyder probably saw that scene in For all Seasons and much like everything else COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT

>>149363947
This is really is such a Snyder take. You dress up something simple in heavy handed forced depth or symbolism while completely misunderstanding the material. You think it sounds smart but then you think about it for any time longer than it took to say and you realize how moronic it all actually is.

>>149363947
Worst pa kent in the history of Superman.

>>149364061
>heavy handed forced depth
he's telling Clark that bad people are going to be racist to him and say he's going to cause the great replacement and other republitard spouting points, pretty much the x-men shit.

>>149361900 (OP)
1. he's a zoomer
2. he's a journalist

>>149364212
Makes you really thinker, eh?

My parents are literal Hillbillies from Appalachia. I grew up watching TV shows from California and New York which ruined my accent.
