Something that you can’t really see well in the King Ren arc finale
Etho just… magically gets into the Royal Viewing Chamber
Not even from the arena, but from behind?? And he just watches the game with them without anyone noticing he’s there before he walks in front of them on purpose??
Then he jumped off.
This is MY little guy, no one understands Kakashi from Naruto like I do
squid game the challenge is so fucked up and i can't stop laughing because they just played red light green light. and the lil ink packs popped their asses if they moved. and then the players would cry or cuss or dramatically fall like a corpse and this really is the wildest reality show game. i've heard so much shitty things happen behind the scenes?! and the really had these players making little interview on how they wanna just pay off their house or car. and then they put their job titles underneath and one guy is a food delivery person and it really shows how truly fucked we all are.
imagine watching squid game and gaining nothing from it but thinking, hey let's try it for real. sure nobody gets killed. but the same motivations are there. fear of staying in debt and poverty.
i grew up watching reality game shows. i'm not a genius. i'd suck at something like jeopardy. i'm awful with bugs so no fear factor. survivor? nah. too short for america's next top model and i'm not skinny either. lbr i would cry because of a haircut and get booted off anyways.
but i am broke. i have no good job aspects in my life. i have no future planned really due to being broke.
i would put on that green jogging suit and run my ass off in red light green light.
capitalism has left us in a failed society. sure we boast about democracy and things getting better. but at the end of the day we're really living in a failed state with a handful of billionaires holding a piggy bank above us saying things like "you too can make it if you believe and work hard"
shit is so fucked up. that woman just wanted to pay off a car. not buy a mansion. not jet set and see the bahamas. just pay off her fucking car she needs to survive in this world.
the kids are not alright. neither are the adults. we're in hell.
but yeah. the ink packs popping the numbered players in green from a random person in a pink suit in the backroom while wearing a creepy mask is solid entertainment. i guess this is just a modern take on the gladiators in an arena. haha look at that loser trying to survive this impossible task to live a decent life in this world. wild.
