Don't get me wrong, I love Hemsworth, but being from the UK, I'm finding IT really difficult to place his accent!
It like a cross between Yorkshire, Scottish, Irish, and country bumpkin.
(If you're america you'll have no idea what any of that means btw)
Definitely a touch of northern Irish in there too.
The man's all over the place!
All of those are Country Bumpkin!!
shareIt's not meant to be any particular accent. It's generally northern, more Scottish than anything. Remember it's a fictious story, set in a fictious country.
The reason for the accent, is because he chose to sound different to Snow White and Ravenna, who spoke with more pronounced English accents. He wanted to sounds like he came from a different region and not such a posh background.
technically, Thor would have spoken ancient Norse ;)
shareNorse wasn't a language. Norse people spoke a dialect of another European language with a bunch of other influences mixed in.
shareTosh - of course old Norse was a language, the forerunner to modern Scandinavian languages (except Finnish). The earliest forms of the sagas were written in Norse, and modern Icelandic has changed so little from it's Norse origins that modern Icelanders can still easily read and understand the old texts, unlike other modern Europeans and their earliest literature.
shareScottish isn't. If you said it was up there, they'd probably lynch you! Especially in the big cities like Glasgow!
shareHe's speaking English, to answer your first question.
shareI think the point is whatever accent he was going for it was all over the place, one minute irish, then scottish, then norfolk farmer and then slipping into australian!
shareYeah, you managed to understand it, I'm not sure how it slipped by the troll brigade.
Well they're just here to "correct" people's "mistakes" that aren't actually mistakes at all.
He's going for Scottish - no idea why!
