That's pretty accurate. A friend of mine moved to New Zealand. He still sounds like a Wurzel impersonator, his kids sound like Taika Waititi.

Nah that's when it's fine. My objection is something like Tangled (English parent, kid spent entire life in a feckin' tower, as English as Dubya) or Ni No Kuni (not quite clear but seems to be half and half American-English accents).

She is, and it is. :lol:

Is Donna Murphy the voice of Oliver? If so:
(a) she’s chuffing awful;
(b) I miscommunicated that. My issue is that she’s American but Ollie’s mum is British, and I think the hometown is 50/50?

Corazon de Leon

She’s Gothel in Tangled. I have no idea who Oliver is.

Oh okay.

Wait what!? Did not sound that way!

The 'Hacker can get into every system and electronic device in existence within seconds just by frantically mashing the keyboard' trope.

May I add to that:

Person using computer does so exclusively via keyboard, and never uses a mouse.
Person using computer does so with whatever program running in a tiny window, with all sorts of other THE HAXX0RZ windows running gooseberry fool dotted around the screen (usually a rotating wireframe globe and scrolling text).

I'm not too into the main character basically being Jesus reincarnated or being amazing because of genetics. One of the things I liked in The Last Jedi was Rey having no relation to any major characters, it was a revelation that gave me hope as an individual with gooseberry fool genes. Shame how that went...
