Talking Tidy, Innit?
OHMYGOD! I was *not* expecting that!
There was Wenglish in Marvel’s Echo. (I still have to watch the last episode, so No SPOILERS please!)
I love, love, love, it!
For those who aren’t aware — Wenglish is the Welsh/English dialect, especially common here in South Wales.
It’s what I speak — a mash-up of Welsh and English: lush, bach, a’right butt, ych a fi, etc.
And I was not expecting it to crop-up in a series based primarily in the Choctaw culture, with a side of New York organised crime.
And yes, Zane, the gangster played by Welsh actor Andrew Howard, is a villain.
- But we’re not exactly playing on the side of justice and light in this series. Maya’s an anti-hero, after all.
And he’s a great villain.
What could’ve just been a stereotypical henchman part is made notable by Howard’s unsettling performance.
…and I was just so happy about the random Wenglishness. You have no idea 😅
