"Just having a straightforward story about class warfare without having to moralize about identity was something that could only happen in foreign yet accessible media. They took the post-millennial view on being broke and made it without any chudbait."
"I'm ashamed that I didn't pick this up before eventually capitulating and watching Squid Game and realising that it was the most average thing I've ever watched."
"Thinking about the end of squid game when all those people walked by the homeless guy feeezing to death and I'd literally do the same, when thinking about it."
"in 2021, this was the biggest show in the world and everyone talked about it, just to lose any hold it had even after new seasons came out"
"Total dissapearance of Squid Game costumes this year suggests passing cultural fad."
"Squid Game (boy) - 1... Bit surprised by the Squid Game mask."
"Like squid game, wealthy people playing with people's lives because they're bored. Or that hostel horror film I haven't seen."
"Yet millions of Americans are enamoured with Japanese (Anime, video games, Sushi) and more recently Korean culture (KBBQ, Kpop, Parasite/Squid Game, Korean Skincare, Korean fashion, etc)"
"good or overrated? are korean shows gonna become as big as k-pop?"
"This show had/has a golden opportunity to show a different Squid Game every season. It could become a lot like the Purge franchise in that every season introduces a new set of characters just under slightly different scenarios. And within each new protagonist a new opportunity to display the lengths"
"There's an decent amount of class conflict commentary throughout but i wonder how they'll handle it in the future"
