| Topic | I seriously don't understand the overhype surrounding Squid Game. It's dumb. |
| Prestoff 10/20/21 1:12:51 PM #48: | I like AiB as well, but the live action show sucks because the actors are too hammy in their performances. It becomes more distracting than anything. Sometimes acting like an anime character in real life doesn't translate that well. I felt Squid games actors felt more "grounded" in their acting hence why I feel more invested in them. It's the same problem I had when watching the live action version of Battle Royale. With that said, AiB is interesting because the games are interesting. You're trying to figure out how to beat the games with the protagonists. Squid Games is more about symbolism and the large disparity from the rich and the poor (mostly aimed at South Korea, but totally applicable anywhere). Very simliar to movies like Parasite and Snowpiercer. I think what made SG have a better chance is that because the games are more digestable, it's easier to follow along than AiB where the games sometimes get overly complex where most of the time. Both are great, but I suggest reading AiB than watching the live action version imo. --- DI MOLTO! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
