I got worried when I found out the French Revolution features heavily in it as opposed to just being in background like the original game, given how used I am to the typical “this is Literally Animal Farm” shitlib plotline is (Hello Bioshock Infinite). I’d rather watch my nostalgia-bait anime vampire slop without rolling my eyes every five minutes.
Not to say I don’t have other concerns about the quality of the show (nothing to do with Gamers™️ seething about the POC characters in it).
Am I dumb for being annoyed that the French characters all have English accents? It annoyed me in Plauge Tale when Amacia and Hugo have French accents in the first game....and then in the sequel they bizarrely are speaking in English accents.
I think that's perfectly reasonable, given that there are plenty of actors out there with French accents. It's not like you needed specific appearances, or to fly out actors to record in person. They're voice actors. It was a choice by the showrunners and you're perfectly valid in disliking that choice.
