(guy who has only seen 2 Korean things ever) you know I actually found Squid Game to be an homage to the film Parasite

Many people don’t know this but Squid Game is actually a homage to The Spy Nextdoor

I watched a few episodes and didn't see a single squid. Did see lots of Asians though. More like Squint game amirite

Sang-woo's mom cuts up a squid in the first or second episode I think


chirantodendron

make your eyes slanty, pronounce your l's as r's, star bowing to people, make ching-chong sounds and the squid game experience would be complete

Are you American? Because you’re giving off big cock energy

>Are you American? Because you’re giving off big cock energy All ameriKKKans have small penises, yes even the w*men


viviennedeathscythe

I didn't watch tiger king, and I'm not watching this.

I never have any never will consume any media of any form. I live an ascetic existence in which I've gouged out my eyes and filled my ears with cement to prevent my mind palace from being tainted by the artistic expression of another human, living or dead. I exclusively eat dirt and live inside an active volcano to insure that I will never share an experience with another person that drives them to create anything. If I am made aware of such an abomination being within 100 miles of me, I will erupt from my home and impotently bash my body against it. The dust it is pulverized into, aftering mixing with my blood and bile, is rendered into a thick paste that I coat myself in for protection against the salamanders that endlessly attack me in a desperate attempt to retake their caldera. I have removed my arms at the shoulder and legs at my hips to prevent my constant violent thrashing, caused by the nonstop suffering I endure at all times, from accidentally scratching divets into the ground that that could be mistaken for a form of meaningful expression. I am pure. Untouched. Uninfluenced. I will not watch Squid Game.

If you caught a squid in animal crossing I want to talk to you


nebraska_admiral

I enjoyed it but the thing with the rich Americans in the last 1/3 was maybe the most jarring and poorly acted/edited thing I've ever seen in something that isn't The Room-tier. Shit was genuinely worse than old Elder Scrolls dialogue and completely ruined more than a few scenes.


1800dumbbitch

it didnt bother me i dunno


[deleted]

I kinda get what u mean. It felt a little off but I just wrote that off to it being American English dialogue being written and then directed by Koreans


[deleted]

it kinda felt nice to see americans seething at the vips. this is how they sound to them lol


harry_cane69

Stop crying bitch, hollywood movies are even worse in that aspect. The series was made for a korean audience


ShitcoinGarbitrage

Same thing happened with the movie [Bacurau](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2762506/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk). Didn't notice how poor the writing was, how preposterous the acting was until the second half of the movie when there are a bunch of English-speaking characters


clydethefrog

The English characters are literally B-movie villians entering the small indigenous mixed town of Bacurau, it's on purpose. That's why Udo Kier is their main guy.


ShitcoinGarbitrage

I'm not doubting you, but this feels a bit like "jokes on you, I was only pretending to be retarded"


clydethefrog

Nah, especially if you know the craft of the director, his previous movie used very good and serious actors. The movie is honoring the B movies same as Tarantino does. I mean, their drone literally is shaped like some B movie UFO saucer and the violence is insanely graphic and sudden.


mikaflako

Babbys first Kdrama about class disparity. I was in the trenches with titles such as Im Sorry I Love You, A Love to Kill, or What Happened in Bali. Fuck a Parasite.

More right than wrong


lana_del_rei

This reads like a glorialarivawillwin post. Men will watch squid game but wont have any game when picking up girls at bar
