Should've been a 100% Norwegian male cast

It was a lame cliché they felt they had to shoehorn in Americans and women as the main characters, and have them as the only smart ones. I'm American myself, but why make a prequel about the Norwegian camp when you obviously don't want to make it about the Norwegians. They should've just made a straight sequel 29 years after the last event. It seemed planned to suck the way they did it.

Where honestly was the outrage from the Norwegian people that the cast in this film weren't all actual Norwegians? Heck, they didn't even make the slightest attempt at Norwegian accents! Where were all of the "strongly worded letters to the Times" over this travesty? 😂

You sound angry. I'm sorry you're mad at them gosh darn blackards. Maybe run for congress and put them in their place!
