I normally like this show, but the persistent, insistent, deliberate mispronunciation of “Ozymandias” throughout the episode was like nails on a chalkboard. I tried to get past it, but it was so pervasive that I ended up stopping after the first third of the episode.
Hear you next time.
To clarify, it’s not the placement of the stress, it’s the vowel. Whichever syllable you give the main stress, the “i” should still be pronounced “ee,” not “eye” so it would be aw-zeh-man-DEE-us.
