japan mimics hollywood with british accented villian (spoilers)

Apparently casting a british guy to play a sly backstabbing villian is a cliche not just limited to hollywood.

I wonder if the japanese share this same stereotype or if they got it off american hollywood movies?

The ENTIRE Resident Evil franchise is adapted from American B-Horror.

I guees that would make sense. Its just getting old. Much like how comedy movies where black comedians's are always dissing white people its just a cliche thats been milked dry and milked some more and now its just more of the same. And i'm neither british or white in case anyones wondering.

People like to make villains British, because their accent makes them more likeable. Nothing more.

Haha i just realized recently that they intentionally made AW's voice more british sounding for RE UC and for RE5. Talk about cliche's

What isn't cliche, is the fact he survives.
