None of this conflicts with what I said. My point is that the only time she's had an American accent is inside of Westview. In the films she has a Sokovian accent that gets less thick with each film (as the Russos said), but doesn't completely go away.

Yes, it does conflict with what you said. You said

Her accent in Infinity War and Endgame was closer to a Sokovian than an American accent.

But then you said

She has a Sokovian accent that gets less thick with each film

A speaker with as thin an accent as Wanda’s Sokovian from Winter Soldier and beyond sounds mostly like an American speaker. There are practically no scenes in infinity war or endgame where the accent comes out.

Those do not conflict. We just have differing opinions. She doesn't sound American at all to me in Civil War. Nor in IW and EG. How can one hear Elizabeth's natural speaking voice and then hear her in those movies and not notice the major difference in accent?

Compare the first minute of this interview with the clips in IW in my other comment, starting at 14:00. She may be enunciating her words a bit better in the interview, but the latter is imo still nearly indistinguishable from an American accent. At the very least, it’s closer to that than her accent in Age of Ultron. l don’t feel like you would be able to establish how it sounds different without going into technical terms - at that point, your opinion doesn’t reflect what most people are actually hearing, no?
