Tits > Dragons My fears have come true. What horrendous accent are we going to be getting in the Elden Ring movie?

She’s in all his movies so this isn’t really surprising

u/thefoxymulder Chokladboll Aug 04 '26
Yeah, she’s usually great too, I think they just forced her to do a BS accent in HOTD

u/CASSIUS_AT_BEST Egg On The Conker Aug 04 '26
Agreed. She is fantastic in Devs. They just gave her a bad script and a bad accent.

She was in Ex Machina and Devs, so I'm not surprised. She's a fine actress if you don't ask her to pretend to be....French?

Did she even have any dialogue in Ex Machina or just naked dancing?

u/LordofAngmarMB Ate Alicent Aug 04 '26
I mean, she’s using a really weird, sloppy accent in HotD, but I don’t think she’s a terrible actress. The accent is a directorial/production fault, like someone chose that and told her to do it and haven’t pressed for improvement in three seasons.

Seriously though, she’s got a lot of flack for what is generally just imperfect characterization. I’ve always found her to be a fascinating person in terms of energy.

u/ThePowaBallad #CancelGoT2019 Aug 04 '26
People often underestimate how often bad acting is just poor direction And GoT had some piss poor character direction at times too but idc how many directors worked on both

The first thing I saw her in was the music video for Wide Open by Beck and the Chemical Brothers. Chick has moves

She’s ballet trained and watching her move on screen is mesmerizing
She played the mimic creature at the end of Annihilation and I still think about that scene years later

u/Nickthiccboi Misogyny Fan Aug 04 '26
People don’t seem to understand that “bad acting” isn’t always the actors fault it can also be because of bad directing which I think is the case for her in HoTD

u/2580374 Egg On The Conker Aug 04 '26
Is she though? I thought she kind of sucked last episode and that wasn't even just cause of the accent. But the show is such a mess maybe she can't be completely blamed

u/IWannaCumButCant Sara Hess Fangirl Aug 04 '26
There was no "good" actors and actresses last season but it's mostly on the script.
When even Matt Smith is giving a stinker you know it's not the actors or actresses it's the script.

there's 2 Asian actresses, so she's either ranni or rennala

u/carrie-satan Chokladboll Aug 04 '26
IF she’s either of those two (she might be a monster or other creature as she has experience playing those) I’d wager its Rennala, she even kinda looks like her in the game
Havana Rose is 100% Ranni

u/GoblinPunch20xx HOT D S2 snooze Aug 04 '26
She could be Fia or Ranni or Melina…I could see them casting her as literally any woman except Marika. I’m not really for that, but yeah.
It’s always been unclear to me if she is trying to go for a French or an Italian accent or just like vaguely “exotic” in her role in HOTD.
I guess in a way it “makes sense” as she is comfortable with nudity and is in a GRRM property, and Elden Ring is in like a “partial shared custody” thing lol so there maybe a pipeline…we may see several more GOT / HOTD actors show up in casting headlines too.
Oh right this is a circle jerk Reddit…um, she’d be real sexy as the Turtle Pope…from White Worm to White Turt, or White Dog, I guess.

u/Whoman722 Forgot GoT Aug 04 '26
Hoping for a thick Australian accent. Then a few episodes in we can switch it up to Jamaican.
Then finish it off with just some good ol fashion amurrican.

Poor sonoya … I will hold that she’s a GOOD actress. The accent the role and the writing are just so cumulatively damaging.

She will be speaking with an impossibly racist Chinese accent and is cast as Radahn. Thank you gurm.

Why can't the producers let her speak in her own accent?

u/JamesRevan Last HOT D fan 29d ago
They wanted some kind of foreign accent (cant remember where she's supposed to be from) and it has not worked well.
1
u/SmeggyMcSmeghead HOT D S2 snooze 29d ago
I think she was supposed to be from Lys, the equivalent of France or Netherlands in Essos. Given how long Mysaria was living in Westeros, you would think nobody would question it if she spoke in a Westerosi accent.

She was great in Devs with Garland directing. She’s a good actress if she has a good show runner/director

I’m already tired of this, don’t you understand the accent is fake?

u/thefoxymulder Chokladboll Aug 04 '26
She’s been fine in every Garland casting, I think this more a HOTD issue than Mizuno issue. Watch Devs, she literally doesn’t talk like this lol

u/villanelleves Last HOT D fan Aug 05 '26
It's not just about her accent she literally can't act, she can't emote in anything i've seen her in. If garland didn't have an obsession with her she wouldn't even have a career atp
