I had a whole rant ready, but I'm shelving that to instead say that my one fucking gripe so far about Pantheon, is the fact that they couldn't hire one single Norwegian voice actor for the role of a Norwegian character. Especially when said character speaks in Norwegian. If a person that knows the language - hi! - can't understand what a character is saying, maybe go back to the drawing board and rewrite that line. 'Cos, that line? So fucking bad. God. That's actually pissing me off. Y'all got a fucking Canadian to cosplay a Norwegian. That's fucking. That's awful. God. Y'all couldn't make a singular fucking attempt? Or even get one of the Skarsgårds to voice a role? Like. This is a joke. Nothing takes me out of a show more than that, especially when you can tell they made no fucking attempt to understand anything, they just wanted to use our country as a setting - no matter how little sense it makes.
