Everyone's watching Squid Game!
Anyone else on RS?

For anyone wondering, the Kevin Smith Masters of the Universe is quite good. They respected and paid homage to the universe, character design, everything. Only thing they really changed was Skeletor is no longer a bumbling loser, and is now actually really dangerous.

Edit: More accurately, they respected our memories of the original, because the original was absolute garbage if you go back and watch it LUL

Only thing I really hated was Teela's voice. The acting is fine, but it doesn't match the character AT ALL.

Also a He-Man cartoon was added to Netflix last week, but the art looks awful and I think it's more of a kids cartoon than a nostalgic adult cartoon. If they do a crossover, it'll probably be here.

I like the She-Ra Netflix cartoon, but it's just too much for kids. I hope Smith does a series for her too.

I thought Masters of the Universe: Revelation would be dumb, but i was wrong. It had its cheesy moments (to pay homage to the original as you put it), but also dealt with some more serious issues. And that cliffhanger at the end of episode 5!

Teela is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, lol

binged watch squid game since this morning lol

solid show

squid game felt very meh. this was one of the very first creators of the survivor games films. the rest pretty much copied it in a new twist.


really need to figure out new ideas for movies.

Have to agree, we're on episode 3 of Squid Game, great stuff.

I guess I'll have to check out that show if everyone is raving about it... It looks SO stupid though, just based on what the preview images look like.

i am addictive to squid game

It was an awesome movie, I remember watching it when I was really young and didn't know wtf the movie was about, and was subsequently mind blown lol.
America turned it into Hunger Games, pretty clear the inspiration of that was from Battle Royale but the author feigned ignorance and said she's never heard of it :seriously:

I have been hearing a lot about Squid Game too, haven't got around to watch it yet, but based on the premise, it's like Korea's version of Alice in Borderland? (which I really enjoyed)

Trust me I felt the same, it looked stupid to me, and I'm not a huge fan of Korean shows/movies.

This show is solid though, definitely give it a chance.

Squid Game

Do you guys suggest watching it in English or the original Korean audio with English subtitle?

Watched the first ep of squid game last night. We’ll be finishing the series.

Korean audio with eng subtitles

Haven't posted in here for ages.

Lately I have enjoyed Manifest, Brooklyn 99, and Homeland Season 8. I'm sure most have seen them but Wolf of Wall Street, Edge of Tomorrow and Imitation Game are great movies.

On Amazon Prime I had to watch all seasons of Fear the Walking Dead. I love all things Walking Dead.

I concur, we've been watching it with subtitles.

English dubbing would make the show corny and unwatchable IMHO.

Even the english speaking actors speaking english was super cringe... Can't imagine what the dub sounds like

We’ve been watching the dubbed version. My wife isn’t a fan of reading subtitles as your attention can get drawn away from the whole show and you can miss subtleties.

It’s fine for us..

I even watch english shows with subtitles lol

Thank you, I will binge shortly when I have the time :lawl:

I just finished Star Wars Visions on Disney Plus, almost forgot to put Japanese audio with English sub watching it :okay:

Can't wait for this movie on Amazon prime. Based on a true story. Trailer already close to 7 million views. I believe this may be Amazon primes biggest movie release.

Twitter thread regarding the Squid Games subtitles, but this is really nothing new

Ooh Free Guy is on Disney

Edit: ok finished the show now. Seems like she's more triggered about improper translation which I can understand.
But for someone like myself that can't speak Korean, obviously I wouldn't notice. But I don't really feel like I missed anything even with this new information.

Watched it, came out liking it more than I expected. Love the cameos, and the general tone.

Just finished Squid Game.

I recommend it!
