  I feel like the existence of Matthew McConaughey disproves this

      That’s what I love about interstellar travel, everyone else gets older, I stay the same age.

    He would make a good Gandalf in the future versions of the franchise

    The rule says that no one is fantasizing about American accents, but I see a lot of lawbreakers up in this house

  Why not? American culture and linguistics are extremely popular around the world.

  Maybe since modern America is so young, people dont associate it to fantasy?

  Alternatively, Native American accents aren’t uncommon in fantasy I feel like

    Yeah sure buddy, “American Culture” is extremely popular. It isn’t that you people just try to appropriate the culture of the migrants lol

      What else do they have? Their whole nation is based on mass immigration from other countries

      Damn, someone got you with a downvote within 3 minutes of posting. That shit was quick, didn’t think the Fediverse got down like that. Wasn’t me for the record

      But, you don’t believe the “American Culture” is popular? I’d be real interested in a counter argument to the fact it is popular. It’s pretty easy to show that American media and politics are pretty discussed or enjoyed around the world.

        Something like the last thing you said. I mean they killed most of their natives and the traditions they have, I’m sure there’s even more latinos there that there is people decending from the native nations.

        So if their “culture” didn’t came from their own land, than from where? People who came there: Migrants.

    I imagine it’s because Americans use foreign accents to make the fantasy more foreign itself. If the wizard who cast a spell to alter the passage of time starts talking like the dude that runs the gas station on the corner, maybe it takes away some of the magic.

    Good point, Avatar is basically US Marines in spaaaaace vs. spaaaace Pocahontas sci-fi/fantasy.
