@zaydupree: scientifically proving that andrew garfield is the worst spiderman #language #linguistics #accents #newyork #nyc

RalloTheLeader :

That “listen to me” was SUPER clearly British. But I can’t explain why.

JT The Human :

Is his accent bad? Yes! but I like Andrew Garfield in these movies so I don’t care lol

Արմէն/Armen :

“Andrew Garfield is my least favorite live action spider-man.”

QWEEFTOWN.NET :

ok but i absolutely LOVE that "we don't know... for sure" scene/delivery because of how goofy it sounds

Baldheadeddudefromlawandorder :

worst live action Peter Parker, best live action Spider-Man

not_amari_i_promise :

at some level, i think it’s the trope of spiderman putting on a cartoonish NY accent to disguise his real voice, which we do see in most interpretations of the character. however, Andrew Garfield doesn’t get the accent in the first place, so his exaggeration comes out as gibberish

_e_i__ :

What a stupid reason

Flux :

what?! garfield is british?! lmao 😀

Orlandaz :

Shawn Luther :

He said "that" like "Atta boy". Where did that even come from? 😂

rabidraph :

Man whatever he’s still the best spider man 😂🙏🏾

MurrayS :

Thankfully this impacts me less because i'm not American so I don't know what a nyc accent is meant to sound like

buttso :

can u do Benoit Blanc next?

django ☭ :

this is rlly worse than i remembered lmaoo

arrian :

I love andrew garfield but he was a pretty awful spiderman, never get the love those movies get

S :

as a non-native speaker i don't notice the accent inconsistencies, but i do think the way he speaks just sounds kinda, well, funny :D it doesn't bother me, though, just occasionally adds to the entertainment value lol

JosieKat :

is he modeling his “that” after a colloquialism like “atta boy”? (“that’s the boy!”) that’s the only one I can think of though, I’m trying to help him out here 😂

mettazashi :

he's my favorite in spite of it, the Brit completely comes out when he's kneeling over Uncle Ben asking someone to call an ambulance

JackDale72 :

He’s the best live action spider man, but yeah, the accent is a little rough

Jenny :

surprised you didnt mention when he said "do you really think-?" to Dr. Connors. the word "really" came out in a 100% British accent

GrratLevi :

hey nice jacket 👀

Ziv Cm :

I think the non-rhoticity can be explained by Peter trying to disguise his voice by using an accent that is not his own

enes :

i thought you were over-doing it but i didn’t recognize this until i said the words myself as someone who’s from brooklyn, this is accurate lmao

Celestial Dragon Slayer :

Listen. You’re the only person we’re accepting this from right now. 😂
