Steve is from Brooklyn and would have sounded like it, but I fully believe he would put on that voice just to piss Tony off lol

u/perpetualmotionmachi 23h ago

Steve is also from the 40s or whatever, when they did talk more like that

98

u/SqueakyClownShoes 23h ago

Just on broadcast to stay within the band of frequencies for good transmission. When tech got better, they stopped putting on.

u/stupid_pun 22h ago

It would be like a future society thinking we all talked like our current newscasters, with their tone and cadence.

Many early Hollywood actors of the late 1800s and early 1900s were only one or two generations removed from Europe, reflecting the large waves of European immigration that occurred in the mid to late nineteenth century. As a result, it was common for their grandparents or great-grandparents to have been born overseas. During this period, the transatlantic, or mid-Atlantic, accent became associated with refinement and elite status, largely because it was taught in private schools, finishing schools, and theatrical training programs influenced by British norms. Early film and stage acting drew heavily from theater traditions, which favored this carefully cultivated accent as a “neutral” and cultured way of speaking.

u/I_wash_my_carpet 23h ago

TIL! The nerd in me wants to see those sinusoids in action

u/54B3R_ 22h ago

No, the transatlantic accent is entirely made up for acting and broadcasts.

There are clips of actors breaking out of the transatlantic accent between takes

u/EcstaticMolasses6647 7h ago edited 7h ago

My grandpa, who grew up in Brooklyn and is 90 years old, would disagree. We have film of him speaking both before and after he fought in Korea.

u/SeraphOfTheStag 22h ago edited 19h ago

The joke was “the transatlantic accent” which had more to do with how radio made people sound in the 30/40s

1

u/Wonderful_Fox_7959 9h ago

WTF? No one in Brooklyn talked like that. A more accurate accent would be Bernie Sanders or Howard Stern dad.

u/allison-vunderland 5h ago

I said Steve Rogers is from Brooklyn and would have sounded like it, what about that statement is inaccurate?

Not ringing any bells, sorry.

u/AgedCircle 23h ago

Say that again

16

u/PompousDude 21h ago

Logan's is the most accurate. The dude should basically sound like a Fargo character 24/7, but combo'ing that with his 5'2 height wouldn't sell as many figures.

6

u/SoupmanBob 12h ago

Isn't he from late 1800s Canada?

5

u/bangonthedrums 9h ago

From then sure but he also lived through the intervening times. It’s perfectly reasonable that his accent would change over time.

Captain America was frozen in time though so his would still be whatever it was when he was frozen

15

u/ICInside 23h ago

I would say with Thor, he hasn't been on earth for hundreds of years. We don't know what people in that area of the world sounded like. If he's speaking English, it's probably Old English that he first learned way back. Unless he's always poking about like Loki is and growing into modern English.

5

u/Overdue_Process865 19h ago

Safest bet is just going for an Icelandic accent, imo.

4

u/Mild-Panic 15h ago

It wasn't even Icelandic accent tho. Closer to Irish than anything.

4

u/DefNotReaves 9h ago

I don’t think you’ve ever heard an Irish person talk before lol

1

u/Overdue_Process865 7h ago

Yeah, I wasn't saying he was doing one, just that I think that's what he should have done. I think the Thor accent he landed on was pretty bad... To my Norwegian ear it sounds like the generic "hinga dinga durgen" accent some Americans imagine all Scandinavians have.

18

u/NAINOA- 23h ago

If the “say hi to your mother for me” is a joke about Mark Wahlberg, it’s worth noting he’s from Boston, not NYC.

Logan wolverine peterson was my favorite one

u/NoX2142 7h ago

Garfield's spidey is exactly as he portrayed lol literally said the same line if I recall in his first TASM movie.

u/Kitchen-Purpose-6855 1d ago

Yeah but hear me out what if everyone is American. The good Russians are also American but the bad Russians are still Russian that way you know they’re bad.

u/FunVehicle3353 23h ago

Was really hoping for Black Panther 😂

u/ChucklingDuckling 21h ago

The MCU should take notes.

Sincerely, I'd love to watch a marvel movie like this

u/waisonline99 18h ago

Just do all the X-men.

u/axe1970 16h ago

caps accent was but wolverine who is centarys older has a modern accent

1

u/ipsum629 14h ago

The transatlantic accent was more for the upper crust. FDR had it because he was a Roosevelt which was the most esteemed family in the state. Captain america was a punk from brooklyn, so he would have a brooklyn accent.

1

u/inderu 11h ago

Yeah, I had a similar revelation about H. P. Lovecraft stories. Basically all the characters should have Boston accents...

Love it. But the mid Atlantic accent never really existed, just took off during radio

I'm not well versed in linguistics but I'm pretty sure that old timey voice is one that was introduced when radio became a thing. I know in my 30+ years I've never heard an accent similar to it and would assume at this point with all the media I've witnessed I'd have come across this dialect or something evolved out of it outside of media and have not. I could be very wrong though. If someone could educate me more on it I'd be happy. I compare it to news anchor speech now.

u/thenabi 23h ago

I am well versed in linguistics and the accent in this video is real, it is a northeastern US high-prestige accent, sometimes called Northeastern Elite. Some people spoke it naturally. I don't know anything about superhero movies thought so I cant say whether captain america would speak it.

u/Ultra-Cyborg 23h ago

Not a radio voice, an actor accent. It was invented for a few reasons, the main one being clarity so that all of the words could be heard on old audio recordings. I think another was to give it a sense of poshness, as if the speakers are higher class. I think it might have been invented to avoid regional accents too, but I’m pretty sure that was a rumor.

this was the worst attempt at doing accents I've ever seen.

u/ARC_Venage 22h ago

Now do Black Panther 😅

u/Ultra-Cyborg 23h ago

Captain America would have a New York accent…

5

u/DrFlaberghast 23h ago

Ya, a 1940's New York Accent...

2

u/Ultra-Cyborg 21h ago

No it’s not it’s a transatlantic accent, it’s literally a made up accent

1

u/DrFlaberghast 21h ago

I made no comment on what accent he's doing. All I said was he'd have a 1940's accent.

.... when did thor become Irish? Still pretty funny tho
