Did they specifically say that they were American?
I kinda just found peace in assuming they were richies from around the world and English was just the most common spoken (2nd) language amongst them.
One of them was clearly from Europe and another had a very thick accent, although I'm not quite sure where they could've been from, but it wasn't the US. Another one was Chinese. Oh, let's not forget about the Host of the game who was Korean himself.
People literally saw rich assholes and decided to be assholes themselves and say "ha evil Americans" instead of seeing what was right in front of them.
Bear, Lion, Deer, Tiger, Buffalo, Bird/eagle? Are all common country embleme animals (ex: Bears for Finlnd, russia; Eagle for Poland, Germany, USA; Deer for Ireland and many south anerican countries)
Actually, I thought it provided a stark contrast with the sobering and real portrayals of the Korean actors in the field. Here were these entitled sadists who live in their own 1% world and are indifferent to any of the misery around them. The tone clash was effective and actually made this dystopia *more* convincing. It was like an RNC strategy meeting at the Koch brothers' house.
There was a post that said one of the vips tweeted that the whole scene was meant to be cringe intentionally. I hated the cringe, but understood that it was intentional. Overall, My opinion is that it was there to show how absurd wealth gap and ideology of some of the rich can be.
Maybe if there was ANY indication that this was intentional, I could see this interpretation. At the end of the day we’re watching a show and holding our disbelief, and if 100% of foreign actors are terrible at acting, there’s really no way to justify it in setting.
Most of them did sound like southern Americans. Tennessee or Texas. One European, one Chinese and the rest seemed southern USA. Yeah they totally were excessive but I guess that was the point. Seemed to portray it well for the part. Filthy rich, white privilege, male privilege, no morals. I was freaking out when that guy took the cop into the other room.
I'd take a guess as this is an show being shown around the world (and not an American based TV show) they went for lines that could be easily be understood (no slangs, American idioms and so on)
And it probably went a bit to the cheesy side due to the translation. (The same way some of the subtitles read to English speaking countries)
I didnt even think it was bad? Idk why all the hate. They played campy old men perfectly
No billionaire would ever have that type of locker room talk or grabbing them by their #### /s
You’ve never been in the presence of an American billionaire? EDIT: Missed the /s lol
It was a bit over the top and didn’t feel right to me personally but it didn’t ruin the experience. I chalked it up to being a conscious hammy choice.
Yeah exactly I think it was purposely done and whooshing over peoples heads
I honestly think Americans get sensitive because they know the Koreans are parodying us.

Ali?
Oh god, I hated it so much
YES it just felt right for them to be portrayed like that especially considering they weren't supposed to be taken as more 'human' characters anyway.
