Was it as horrible as it sounds?

We enjoyed it. The writing was decent and the inner monologues of the two kids add dark humor. If it was an American show, I think it would have sucked.repoman wrote:

I watched the first four episodes last night entirely off your mention that it was Bakshi-like. The devil animation and transformations are great. Just about everything else is not. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the general animation style because some of it is well-done traditional anime, some is the gorgeous, disgusting pseudo rotoscoped Bakshi stuff, and some is terrible.

I'm neither an anglophile nor an anglophobe, though I have watched more than a few BBC tv shows over the years. But thanks to Game of Thrones, I am hitting my limit for the British pronunciation of "stupid." It's a simple, two-syllable word, and is pronounced "stoo-pid." It is not a long, three-syllable word which is pronounced "stew-yew-pid," and it feels like it's the female actors that are really dragging this word out long. Please just say it and move on without making a big fucking production out of one word.

Now you have some idea how I felt reading the first book and constantly seeing Sir spelled as Ser.

It is pronounced "stoo-pid" if you are American.
If you "have watched more than a few BBC tv shows over the years" then you ought to know we pronounce it "stew-pid".
CAPTCHA to post? Very discouraging.

Thanks to BBC, I am okay with "stew-pid." But some of the folks on Game of Thrones really drag the word out for extreme emphasis, and it becomes annoying.
The Captcha thing might be because you're a first-time poster, just to screen out spam bots.

Brooklyn 99 is great, only just found that, restores my faith a bit in american TV though I see now that the 3 series on netflix are not the sum of it and at least 2 more series to follow. More of a fan of the British style of tv shows which are much more often a handful of episodes, maybe a couple of seasons and then leave it while its good and you want more.

Maybe whoever it is has an American drawl and it passes over to the imitation English accent? Or it's an attempt at a GoT local dialect?Shellhead wrote: But some of the folks on Game of Thrones really drag the word out for extreme emphasis, and it becomes annoying.

Fair point, hope CAPTCHA goes away.
Jeez, that piss-take slang is becoming more widespread? Fuck...Tron wrote: ...in England we use the word "stoopid" to mean "especially stupid".

if you want to upgrade your disgust of the pronounciation of "stupid" try enunciating the word "mature" in a similar manner, with hard accent on the t and the "tyoo" sound.
of course, you can then just watch some "Snuff Box" or anything with Matt Berry playing a posh bloke in it and you will soon learn to love the comedy overly theatrical way of talking like that.
hhhhhwhhhhissskeyyy!

This is an urban myth, largely pushed by Appalachian tourist boards.
I always imagine the founding fathers talked like Frasier off the telly. If that's the kind of thing then sure. It has no bearing on provincial accents in the British mainland, which would be obvious to anyone who spent any time listening to people there.
*figuratively.
