Yes, I get what the tradition is. But the tradition is equally silly. Substitution of one farce for another.
Just because that's the farce they always go with doesn't make it better, it just makes it what people expect. People objecting because the movie did something different are the same people crying about the cookie cutter tactics of the movie industry are ruining art.
It's so specifically a farce that has been relentlessly mocked for as long as I've been alive at least.
That anyone is using the "wrong" incorrect accent is laughable.
