I love that when he becomes Marc, his eyes are half-lidded, and when he becomes Steven, they are fully open to add to his wide-eyed innocent appearance. It really changes the overall look of his face and it's noticeably different. Not to mention the shy stammering British accent to counter Marc's tough guy American accent. What a brilliant choice. Hoping there's a season 2!

[@RealParadoxed]

It's not just that it's the stances he makes and the mannerisms too

[@justin.booth.]

I'm so glad they let him do a non traditional London accent. So many actors either do a a straight RP or the most aggressive cockney I've ever heard. Oscar actually sounds like someone I would hear on the tube.

[@fabulousmyriad267]

I like the fact that the British tv crew were his sounding board on the accent. Its a nice mix of quirky and dry humour.

[@arabchristraeger]

Would you elaborate please? I'm curious what makes it non-traditional. I always wonder how a Brit hears it when an American does their accent.

[@cleverusername9369]

As an American, it's absolutely adorable to us how Bri-ish people say "tube": chewb.

[@justin.booth.]

@@arabchristraeger All I mean by non-traditionally is that it's not a British accent you traditionally hear in mainstream media. It's actually a super common accent among middle-class Londoners especially those from immigrant backgrounds or those who live in areas with lots of immigrants. I'll give a brief description of the main groups of accents in London nowadays. You may have heard of something called MLE which is "multicultural london english", it's basically a blanket term for accents that have had a lot of African, Indian, Carribbean, Eastern European, and Cockney influence. Stormzy and Omigos are good examples of people with this accent. There's also the Cockney accent, but this is actually becoming increasingly uncommon, being supplanted by MLE and RP. I would say the best example of someone with a modern Cockney accent is Rob Beckett. Finally there's RP which is the accent a lot of people incorrectly call "the Queen's English". Though the Queen does speak an archaic 1950s form of RP, the RP you'll hear on the BBC nowadays is actually a very different thing. Very few people these days and even fewer young people actually speak like the Queen. Finally, there's the accents that don't really fit into these categories very nicely, many people speak with accents that have some MLE influence but draw mainly from RP, some (especially those from India and South Africa) have accents that lean more towards the Queen's "heightened RP" since the educational system in those countries preserves some aspects of RP that England itself has since lost. What Oscar Isaac is doing in the show is an accent with some Cockney influence, but a good deal of RP and heightened RP as well. To Americans (and many British journalists who live in relatively isolated RP bubbles) this sounds very funny, almost like a mockery of a Cockney accent, but it's a very real accent and many people speak with it. I really applaud him for sticking up for not doing the usual cut and dry RP.

[@madcapgaming_9371]

It’s non traditional because Steven is a made up personality based off a tv show to cope with trauma

[@radioactiveag2531]

After the pandemic hit he adopted a more casual dressing style and has thankfully stuck to it even after audiences returned (except when David letterman was on the show one day. probably out of adulation?)

Can’t wait to see him play Francis Ford Coppola … but Disney, seriously, this guy can LEAD a Star Wars movie. Don’t just let the Sequel era be forever known as an embarrassing misfire. If the prequels were resigned to that fate we wouldn’t have gotten the Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch or even this upcoming Kenobi series.

[@tobyriecke3972]

@@carolynadams340 yea same. While I do understand people like Martin Scorsese’s opinions, I think a lot of them just fail to look past the more fantastical aspects to see the substance beneath, like The Winter Soldier at its core being a character study on Steve Rogers as a man out of time, Starlord being a man who never really grew up and uses humor as a coping mechanism, Doc Strange being a man who valued his life on one skill and when he loses it needs to change his way of life, a young teenager (Peter Parker) forced into a world he’s honestly too young for, even the Thor movies as someone born to be a king but really doesn’t want it. And especially the shows too. WandaVision is a deep reflection on loss and grief, told through the perspective of super powers. (My only problem when WandaVision is the big end CGI fight hut at least we got Vision talking about the ship of Theseus), Falcon and the Winter soldier reflecting on the betrayal of black veterans, living up to legacies etc, Loki a pondering of a honest to god good man who felt the need to be the villain. (Sorry that’s a lot of examples). The MCU shows us what real people would do in these fantastical situations. Yea every movie and show is always setting up a big crossover or something, but within those stories they always manage to convey a message that can relate to a lot of people.
