What the fuck kind of accent does Dexter have and why isn't it American?

He was born and raised in the US, he's probably never left the US, his entire family sounds American as fuck, and yet he's somehow Finnish or something? Why is this?

The official story from Genndy was that he was emulating various foreign eniuses like Einstein who spoke English with an accent. His childish mind thought that's part of being a genius

False. I speak English with an accent for obvious reasons, and to you guys it would sound like a russian accent.

Honestly I never paid that much attention to Dexter's accent and just assumed it's something he does. I mean, there's an episode dealing with a bully who beats up people with funny/foreign accents. Dexter's accent is purely his own thing.

German. German mad scientist is a fairly common trope due to WW2, and he's supposed to sound like Einstein. The fact that he's not foreign, but still speaks with an accent that's supposed to sound "smarter" is part of the joke.

I am 99% sure his accent is made-up in order to make himself sound more intellectual. Either that or he accidentally got an accent from watching too much Einstein and other scientists.

Quoted By:

"Dexter's accent originated from when Genndy Tartakovsky was at CalArts and his roommate, Rob Renzetti would leave him answering machine messages in a comedic French accent. Later, in developing the show, they would take the voice and add traces of Russian and German accents as well."

per imdb, grain of salt etc

Bushido is servitude to a specific master. Chivalry is self-control and servitude to the greater good of common people. Jack exemplifies Chivalry over Bushido, despite it being historically askew.

Both codes are Bullshit that were rarely if ever actually observed.

Jack is technically a ronin, but the argument could be made that he's still serving a master. His father, first and foremost, and then his people.

Or you could say there's a reason Aku calls himself shogun, the shogunate were above even the emperor and kind of did their own thing, they're the ones samurai typically serve.

>>87064810
Aku is basically an allegory for westernization in Japan
Also, being a satan archetype, it makes sense that he would encourage the pursuit of knowledge at the cost of innocence/humanity
