The Avengers are often referred to as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, as they transcend defending one nation and aim to protect the whole planet. As depicted in Avengers: Infinity War, some heroes hail from America, others from Wakanda, and Vision was basically born from a computer.

Admittedly, the current incarnation of Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe mostly features American characters, though Scarlet Witch hails from the fictional country of Sokovia, debuting in Avengers: Age of Ultron with an Eastern European accent. In the years since her debut in the MCU, fans have noticed that a result of being away from her home country for a few years is a complete loss of accent.
While this is likely the result of American actress Elizabeth Olsen’s varied inflection with her character’s dialogue resulting in loss of accent, some fans are having a hard time believing a character would lose the accent so easily.

Scarlet Witch really needs to get a consistent accent. I know her country of origin isn’t real but, girl, switching between almost New York, Vaguely-Russian, and lord knows what for your accent isn’t a good look.

My one #AvengersInfinityWars question–did Scarlet Witch/Wanda’s accent change at some point from Russian to American?? (I admittedly haven’t seen every single Marvel movie, so maybe I missed the explanation?)

Everyone spent so much time looking for infinity stones that they forgot to search for Scarlet Witch’s missing accent

@slimnayeon
I guess the one non spoiler Infinity War thing that bugged me is Scarlet Witch deadass didn’t have her random accent anymore. Like how do you lose a whole ass accent ??

Wait! What happened to Scarlet Witch’s accent in Infinity War? I just remembered this. She talks like an american in the movie and that’s not right.
