There’s a scene where the protagonist is playing russian roulette with one of the bad guys and when he’s down to the last two chambers (they don’t spin the gun) the bad guys says “Yeah you could just shoot me, but then you’d just be like all the rest, a piece of trash. You just got lucky.” and then to prove a point Mr. Squid Game doesn’t just shoot the other guy, but instead takes the 1:2 chance and makes it. Then he passes the gun to the other guy.
When the villain had that monologue I was so ready for the protagonist to go “yeah I did just get lucky, what are you even going on about? I know I’m not special.” and then shoot him or something.
How many netflix failsons were allowed to give notes on this?
Nothing wrong with enjoying a treat. I was curious wether this was an enjoyable treat after watching episode one and I wanted to know wether I was gonna be left feeling like it was a waste. Sounds like it won’t be.
I’d love an american season made by some failson nepobaby. Gonna love some good old American exceptionalism with poor aesthetics. Maybe they can get the people who made live action avatar the last airbender to do it.
Or Dumb & Dumber after they’re done fucking up 3 Body Problem (I’ve only seen some clips. Haven’t watched the whole thing). Zack Snyder also works a lot with Netflix. Maybe they can all do a collab and blow $800 billion on the project.
At least Doofus and Dookie have shown they can do an adaptation as long as the original creator is there to handhold them alongside the original work (finish the goddamn books Martin, Master of Orion cannot be that good)
