And Conan should have a ??? accent?

[DungeonMaester]

New York Accent.

---Rusty

 

[Fifth Element]

Incomprehensible.

So Schwarzenegger, yeah.

 

[ColonelHardisson]

It doesn't make a difference to me, as the Hyborian Age is, what, over 10,000 years ago? I doubt any accent from that long ago would sound like anything we know today. So just about any accent would work. Trying to affect an accent for an age that long ago would be silly, even sillier than those movies about World War II with the Germans speaking English - but in a thick German accent...

 

[blargney the second]

New York Accent.

Hey! I'm swaggering here!

 

[DungeonMaester]

Upper class British.


What?

Conan: What ho? A foe?

---Rusty

I would say Welsh. I have an easier time imagine the mighty-thewed, panther-like Conan speaking with a Welsh lilt than I can a Scottish brogue. I think Welsh is more musical.

 

[Doug McCrae]

Look you boyo, grant me victory, grant me revenge. And if you will not grant them to me, then to Swansea with you!

 

[Klaus]

He should have a Scottish Highland accent.

Y'know, like Christopher Lambert.

 

[TarionzCousin]

Australian.

Rowdy, loud, and loveable. Isn't that the image modern Australians convey? Sure, Conan was supposed to be dour and brooding from time to time, but most of the time he was a hard-partying alcohol-loving jock.

/everybody loves the Australians, right?
//except Kiwis, maybe.

I found it really amusing when Enemy at the Gates came out, and people complained that it affected their suspension of disbelief that when the Russians were talking to each other, their English didn't have a Russian accent...
