[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm! I watched the first episode tonight. Without being snarky-- who can explain why this is trending as the most popular Netflix show ever? Isn't it just like Hunger Games with Korean actors?[/quote]

No. It's not.[/quote]

Yes. It is.

Just with R rated violence.

Imagine they actually showed everyone dying graphically in Hunger Games. [/quote]

It’s really nothing like the hunger games. It’s not set in a dystopian future, it’s not about children publicly fighting to the death as ordered by their government, the desperate adults willingly play the game to win the money, there’s few similarities to the actual gameplay (a series of games vs dropping 12 kids in a giant arena) the whole premise is wildly different. Battle royale isn’t a new concept obviously but that and the rich people watching for entertainment is about the only comparison you can make to the hunger games. [/quote]

It’s people thrown together and fighting to the death for a prize and as a form of entertainment. There will only be one winner. In order to survive you have to kill others and do whatever else you need to do. You’ll lose friends, try to revolt and learn about character development. The winner will be traumatized and seek vengeance. That’s Hunger Games and Squid Games in a nutshell. [/quote]

Maybe. Only SG is much much better.[/quote]

Disagree. Hunger Games had much better acting and dialogue. Most of the actors in SG are overacting and the dialogue is inane. [/quote]

Thank you! I’m confused by people saying how good the acting is. How can you even tell with the horrible voice overs and weird dialogue. It’s clear that a lot was lost in translation. [/quote]

It sounds like you watched it dubbed instead of with subtitles. If so, that's your problem.[/quote]

Dubbing doesn’t mess with the actual overacting. [/quote]

Dubbing makes anything seem a little ridiculous, so yes, it's skewing your perspective. Be a grownup and watch it with subtitles.[/quote]
