hot take.. but squid game is not that compared to Alice in borderland.
Yes, I will agree that the hype is well deserved but I do feel like it is a BIT overhyped. I love how it shows a lot of Korean culture like childhood games and all that. Yet I feel like there is not that much of a connection with each and every character. With AIB there is a backstory of how their life was for almost every single relevant character and it gives us the understanding and empathy for how the character became to be. IMO, I also feel like I have a better connection with the characters this way and want to fight for what they are doing in the show. And I do know that squid game is only kids games but I can’t lie that AIB’s games are so much better and way more interesting because it seems almost impossible to survive and win the game.
AND I KNOW (I hear it all the time)
“squid game and Alice borderland are different”
BUT, i swear whenever a season comes out the other comes in the conversation every time. So I just wanted to share my opinion.
