I've seen a few people call out David Harbour's accent. Saying it's awful. Honestly, to me, Everyone of 'em sounded like any other generic Russian accent that Hollywood movies use. Nothing bad or special.
Except for Ray Winston. His was the absolute worst. He was going in & out of the accent throughout his monologue.
Pugh's sounded the most effortless. David Harbor was playing the comic relief, which made it easier for him as he could do an over the top comedic accent. Rachel Weisz's accent was sometimes good but inconsistent. They were all better than Elizabeth Olsen. I didn't even realize Ray Winston was supposed to be Russian. I thought it was some weird cockney gangster accent.
shareHalfway through his monologue, I genuinely forgot he was supposed to be doing a Russian accent
Pugh was easily the best part of the movie.
The accents were all cartoonishly bad, but Marvel films have never strived for realism. If they had wanted authenticity, there are plenty of great Russian actors they could have hired.

Horrible and extremely irritating.
shareEh, I thought they were fine in the sense it was generic semi-drunk Russians that studied in America a bit before going back to home country. I like David's (Alexei) the most since it was the most generic of Russianglish accents.
