Squid Game was good, we had fun threads about it, it's not woke, no need to be contrarian.
>>204058485Who’s hyped for season 2? *fire emoji*
>>204058887>it's not woke, no need to be contrarian.Ironic

>>204059494Not even similar to battle royale loser
>>204058485Was the first season good? I'm thinking of watching it.
>>204059494Very similar to battle royal winner
>>204058887I agree, although the sequel seems more like a cash grab, where the first season was a long term passion project from the writer. I don't expect it will be up to the same quality as S1, but it will probably be decent.
Will this revive a second season as well??

>>204059746It's about corporate, crony capitalism, which is a distortion of what capitalism 'could' be. The damage this has dealt to our Society is evident. >>204058887I thought season 1 was perfectly self-contained and now that the show is too popular not to continue, it will decline from that.
>>204060632>Japanese TVThe only thing of note they've done that's good in the last ten years is Takeshi's Castle and Extremely Inappropriate. Yes Korea mogs in Asia for live-action.
>>204060632What japanese tv? Action shows?
>>204058887It's not about it being woke. S1 was spammed here. Like legit minimum 10 threads in catalog any given moment.
Kaiji is the only good death game media out there
>>204060692It's about greed and the human nature to always want more, and it's literally spoken out by a major character as he's dying. It's not particularly complicated.

Why do zoomerinas love Korean men so much? All my little sister's friends are saving money to go there to "study" Korean
>>204058985It's so hard to be a Kaiji fan and watch this slop be popular. It's literally ripping off Kaiji in every way but doing it wrong. The absolute worst Kaiji game (Idiots Wearing Helmets Arc) mogs every retarded game in Squidshit
>>204058614I'm always stream service hopping/stream service quantum leaping. I subscribe to one, binge watch their shows, and next month I hop to another one.
>>204061439I started watching the Kaiji anime and it was obvious the koreans took everything from it but then I bought the first manga volumes and it was totally different, just playing some Japanese card game with the yakuza.

>>204060632You seem like you know about Japanese media. There's this one clip I'm looking for from a Japanese game show. The, male, contestants are given a description of a famous person, and make some reasonable guesses. Then some girl, host or something, reveals that the famous person is actually a monkey. Surreal and fairly funny in context.
>>204063736Capitalism bad, rich people make the protagonists and every poor person suffer for their own enjoyment. It's as absurd as the upper class from the Hunger Games.
Squid Game was fine but it's very obvious that Koreans are funding their shitty media and paying shills to shill their trash overseas.Squid Game by itself would be fine, but the shilling is unforgivable because these FAGGOTS forced korean ''music'' on us, they push kimchi in your face 24/7, they have a 24/7 k-drama thread on /tv/, they pushed that shitty movie Parasite to get awards. The Koreans are shilling their fake astroturfed non-stop shoveling trash in your face.So fuck Squid Game.

>>204065823Doesn't look like it man. In the clip I'm talking about, they are up on a game show stage and looking at a big tv screen that just shows a picture of a monkey.
>>204065790I'm really not a fan of Korean media, it feels so fake, plastic is how I would describe it. It's an imitation of western mass media, with the perfection of western consumerism, it is absolutely soulless.

I like how now this became popular y'all are trying to rationalize how it isn't a criticism of capitalism because you can't have the wokes winIt's like with Black Panther, or the Mario movie. Once those got popular "oh it's not woke it's redpilled guys"

>>204064213This is a phenomenon I refer to as the "right wing woke overton window"You see, a lot of right wingers are racists. Some are very blatant racists and think about it all the time, some are racist without consciously thinking about it, and some are open to racist ideas but don't want to confront it. Back in the day, nobody really cared if a black man or a woman was in a movie.Then, suddenly, people started to say "I don't have a problem with blacks and women, I just don't like it when it's political". This was mostly spread by racists, but people who are not blatant racists (but fairly gullible and stupid) parroted this phrase, without ever asking "when is it political when a woman/black man is in a movie, and when isn't it?" So it stuck.Then you have movies where it isn't done for political purposes, or the movie itself is apolitical, and somehow, that's still "woke" because it's "against men and white people"Now, ANY time a woman or a black guy is in a movie, it's political, which means it's "woke", which means it's bad. However no one will define what "political" or "woke" even means, so it really is just "black people and women bad"So we've moved from "nobody cares" to "it's bad when it's political" to "it's all bad/it's all political"You definitely see this with women. "Female characters are fine" to "I don't mind women, so long as it isn't political" to "If a woman is ever competent at anything or better than a guy at anything, it's bad, if a woman is smart and a guy is dumb, that's bad" to "All women bad". Now, we see this right wing overton window with Squid Game. All of these things, no one would've cared about before, but because racist ideas have entered the mainstream due to MAGA and grifters, it is considered wokeIt is ultimately a self-defeating rhetorical strategy. Because most people are not chronically online so they'll think you're a weirdo for whining about something as mainstream as Squid Game or Black Panther
>>204058485why notim always down for more death game stuff
>>204061439They're pretty different. Kaiji is way less gorey but when it does happen it's better than "shot in head."
>>204068101>Kaiji is way less goreyI haven't seen Squid Game but in Kaiji he gets his finger cut off, cuts his ear off, has a needle drill underneath his fingernails and watches people break their legs falling from a beam.

Not going to reply to the frogposter, but how is it not woke?It's a korean tvshow taking place in korea with korean actors that still somehow manages to go "white man bad" to pander to american leftist sensibilities.It really doesn't get any more woke than that

>>204068431It's just very socialist like all South Korean media because they have some inconveniences so they advocate to flip the table like idiots.But the show is really good I rewatched it recently and it may be even better the second time. I only watch it for highlights and people dying suddenly there's no message in it for me.
>>204058887It was like watching a Mr Beast marathon set in South Korea
koreans make me derealize i can watch any other asian media but there's something about koreans thats so insect like and inhuman
Not as bad second time around. And I know it's not the fault of the actors I think every one of them explained themselves correctly and I've watched enough foreigners in Asian films to know that they can't direct them. Things they say always come out awkward. If they reappear they should let a whitey write their lines. But it was kinda funny how one of them had only one line being an autistic geek and someone shuts him down.
>>204061439What it really tells me is there was a genuine niche open kaiji couldve filled for many years here and for whatever reason fkmt never capitalized on it.Nobody is going to now watch the new dub of a show that came out like 18 years ago, nobody will ever take an english language live action version seriously(which i recall there was talks of it back when season 2 was airing) because this squid game crap got their attention first despite being a blatant ripoff of it.
>>204059494>>204059557It's a Kaiji rip-off.
>>204058887It had cartoon cutout retarded characters. It was novel and for many people fun, but it was not good.

>>204060632korean tv/film has been consistently better than japan's output for at least 10-15 years, japan still does good animation but the live action has just been absolute toilet for a long time.
>>204069552Japanese live action cinema has improved a lot since the late 2010s. You regularly have one or two really acclaimed movies a year.
>>204059615I mean, how hard can it be to follow it up? Just film some cool life or death games, I'm sure they can come up with something. Bonus points if they actually make me care for the characters.
I will watch your show now
>>204060632As someone who watches a lot of Japanese TV, their TV dramas suck so much they're all watching Netflix and Amazon and other foreign-produced Japanese dramas now. Who the fuck knows why their regular channels can't do drama for shit. My theory is that over decades the regular channel dramas just became almost masturbatory feel good material for housewives without any tension whatsoever even when there is murder involved.
>>204069699They talked about Naked Director for a looong time and I think there were some other dramas they talked a lot about too, and now it's Tokyo Swindlers (the English version of the name sucks). It keeps getting brought up constantly in their comedy shows which I actually like.
>>204068397One Poker is the peak of the medium of manga but it will never be animated. The climax to the entire thing is a rich kid thinking his mommy didn't love him and while it's absolutely kino it will never get greenlit
>>204069671Worst part is they killed off all the interesting characters, and the remaining plot threads all range from meh to outright boring>our main character has kpop hair and presumably seeks to dismantle the organization >the cop is probably not dead after being shot and dropped off a cliff so that he can settle things with his brother (unless they introduce a new family member, the brother is useless and unknown to everyone unless the cop survives)>the ultimate fate of the animal mask wearing eliteThey have to introduce a slew of new characters and hope to God they stick like the first season (probably the high point for me in S1, the strength and likability of the characters actually in the games) or else take things in an entirely new direction but good luck getting "Squid Game fans" (whatever that means) to watch something other than big spectacle death gameKaiji still mogs it anyway
>>204058485I don't care about what's popular and what isn't, I watched this very late and didn't enjoy it at all. It felt derivative and cartoony as hell and the main character was incredibly annoying. I liked the Indian guy and the cute edgy girl who sacrificed her life.

The appeal of squid game was its gory/brutal novelty setting, which was fun to watch once with other people. Now they'll try to top the last season's gory/brutal setting which is no longer novel, so it will just come off as trying too hard. The end of S1 also set up a gay revenge story, which is not what got people watching in the first place. So the setting will be further sidecast by the revenge of the red haired gay man story which will put people off even more. People will still watch S2 but will complain about it. No one will watch S3
>>204074286I disagree.
>>204061439kanji is fucking dogshit
>>204074286As long as it won't go too preachy with its typically South Korean quasi-commie messages I'm fine. The second episode of S1 was especially on the nose and exaggerated. I just want some shocking moments.
>>204073543I don't see them in the green jumpsuits though, might just be a trailer thing.
sometimes I wonder how North Korea feels about South Korea's most popular media, Parasite and Squid Game being largely perceived as commieshitI think Parasite is pro-capitalistic and about how shitty poor people are, but that's just me
>>204075094It's not about communism. South Korea has a shit tier society with massive wealth inequality. It's not communist to point out how much damage this does to the social fabric.

>>204075094With regards to anti-elite type media being perceived as communist (especially by commies themselves) Adam Smith, the father or modern market capitalism, considered elites to be the scum of the earth.
>>204077336South Korea has problems and when it's so bad instead of real sollutions some want to completely fuck it all up for everyone. So lots of Korean movies and shows have some socailist themes. Every single analysis has to mention it's "anti-capitalist." They don't have real sollutions. Squid Game can be still watched just for those crazy moments but no one normal thinks it has any poignant lesson.I doubt South Koea is as ridiculously bad as in Squid Game with thousands of people selling their organs and being in debt and having no real way to improve their situation (the fight game was called "message about the illusion of chance under capitalism").All of it is retarded, artists and filmmakers don't know economy and don't have real solutions.
>>204058887It wasn't good it was just bad in a funny way which is in some ways better for shitposting
>>204077881No one thinks that.
Squid game was weird because the first 6 episodes were really good, go everyone started talking about it at work, and once everyone got to the ending it just disappeared again.
>>204061439they weren't exactly trying to hide that they got a lot of inspiration from Kaiji, and let's be honest, a lot of episodes were extremely stretched out, especially during the pachinko ark (to the point i started skipping certain parts, which i almost never do)the anime was good but let's not put it on a pedestal
>>204078213Outside of the final fight everything else connected to the Squid Game was interesting. Even the cop's investigation and the underground organ harvesting scheme. The second episode is tough because they really overdo it. No wonder kids these days are so confused about the economy they become radicalized.But I rewatched it and even the final fight wasn't a huge problem because it's only like the first 15 minutes of the last episode and then there's the final confrontation with the old man which I liked.
>>204078361The VIP stuff was laughably terrible, plus the whole "actually I just did it cause I'm rich an evil"I understand that's basically 80% of Korean TV plots but it was really jarringly bad for westerners
>>204078412The VIPs wasn't the fault of the actors this is just how Asians direct English speakers. It always comes off as stiff and awkward because they assume everybody talks like them. They really should hire a Westerner to handle the scripts for their scenes.I hate that socialism bullshit but in Squid Game it's low IQ enough I can just forget about all that and just enjoy the characters screwing each other over and dying suddenly. I just love those moments when someone realizes it's over. Especially during the fifth task. There's some wonderful character interactions during that task and half of them come from extras.

>>204061439Yeah but the women who watch Netflix only like Koreanshit.
>>204070939Drama is the opposite of escapist.
>>204059746>criticizing an economic system is now wokeOh boy did the IQ's drop hard.
>>204078213It's just how Netflix mass releases work. Because every episode is released at once everyone just binge watch and there's basically no discussion about it because everyone knows how it ends. If squid game was a weekly release there'd be a lot more discussion about it with theories about what will happen next, who will survive, who is behind it all etc etc. But now it's just dump all episodes, people talk about it for a couple of weeks and then forget about it until the next season just like any other Netflix release.Stranger things only had a big impact because of muh nostalgia, if that was also a weekly release then the mystery would have generated a lot more hype and emotional investment over a long period of time instead.

So Squid Game is damaging because of that although it's not complete propaganda because writers are idiots too and don't know how to argue for their side so it will be an empty, generic criticism of an exaggerated problem.
