Nobody is going to stand there and say that Aaron Taylor-Thompson's impression of Alexander the Meerkat (or Anton Yelchin's Chekov in Star Trek) was actually a good decision, but at least he showed some consistency.

His surviving sister on the other hand is the most appropriately named character in the whole MCU, given how wildly her accent WANDERS all over the world. I'm here all week, guys.

Despite being related to a chap whose accent is soup thick, Wanda slips into American far too easily, as if she's already decided to phase out her Sokovia past. Though, perhaps Sokovia just has a wide accent spectrum: after all, not-at-all-German Helmut Zemo doesn't sound like he's from the same place as either of the Maximoffs either.
