Exactly. Them espousing that the games are fair, and believing it themselves even though it's patently untrue, is a 1:1 allegory for capitalism. And like, this isn't turning Star Wars into a socialist work in a reading of it for a video essay. It's right there in the text of the thing.

As Nero Danced posted:Question, were the hanging button on the detective's jumpsuit and the loose screw on the vent cover in the bathroom ever revisited or addressed? The camera lingered on them for a while but I don't remember any payoff to either of them. Were they red herrings or maybe dropped/cut plotlines? I binged it all in one go so I might have missed it. I wasn't exactly on my phone while spinning in an office chair, but I'd wager I missed some shots here and there.

Frankly, I'm entirely unsurprised that Americans seeing our worst as portrayed by artists from another country would entirely miss the irony in crying foul about it.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Squid game is a variation on another game, the real game is a set of squares drawn on the ground and people from outside have to run in and through the squares to the end while defenders try and like... block them or beat them up or push them back out. Like red rover basically. Thank you.

jackpot posted:The English dubbing is so bad my wife and I almost gave up on the show 30 minutes in. Just awful, distracting. Had to turn dubbing off and subtitles on to save it, I can't imagine why that's not the default. The kind of person who would prefer subtitles is the kind of person who'd look for the option for them, whereas the kind of person who's put off by subtitles would see them, close the window, and never return.

Winning at capitalism isn't actually winning. If he'd have gone to see his daughter, the moral standing of the show would be quicksand.

YoursTruly posted:Only seen like 5 minutes of the first episode of Lost. What was it about, and how does it compare to Squid Game? It's a really good show, but the way it answers its questions is to give you the answer to a huge question from two seasons ago in a background detail in an episode about something completely different, have none of the characters learn that answer, then replace that question with five more. It ultimately answers all but two of it s biggest questions, but it does so in such a way that people still think the show took place in purgatory, which it emphatically did not to the point that a character literally says so in the finale. Binge it with a partner. You'll love the character dynamics which basically never falter and you can be frustrated by the bananas ADD the mystery plot gets at times together.
