🤣 you’re really watching Squid Game 2 at 1.25x speed…
Yes… JUST GET TO THE ISLAND?!?!??!?!!
Okay I haven’t given up on it yet… I am not loathing it to the point of 1.5x or 2x speed… but like… sheesh!
😏😏😏
I feel like there must be a lot of metaphors and things related to your culture or country that are going over my head…
Uhuh… but u don’t relate to it on a universal level?
No. I mean, I don’t know. It’s probably been too long since season 1? I really enjoyed season 1. I don’t know why season 2 is not getting me in… not yet…
How do u think they could improve?
I don’t know…. the conversation is… not relatable to me….
Not relatable?
Noooo… I think it’s going over my head?
I think so too. It’s like you have zero concept of what they’re talking about and you’re waiting for the island because there’s more surrealist art vibes to it… you don’t like them talking in the “real world“…
Uhuh….. it doesn’t make sense to me…
🤣🤣🤣 (chuckles)… it makes a lot of sense to me…
You’re not even struggling like any of the people, characters’ narratives!
That doesn’t mean that I can’t understand it! I’m understanding it better than you! A foreigner Nepo Baby!!!!
Lollllll okay so it’s the Nepo Adjacency that makes me not able to relate to any of this?!?!?!?!!
I’m not saying that. I love you. I’m just saying, you’re a foreigner. It’s understandable that you don’t understand any of it.
But why have they bothered with English dubbing and trying to promote it amongst Western audiences?!
Because the first one was so successful?!
Right — so just keep that formula — GET TO THE FUCKING ISLAND!!!!!!!!! WHY IS IT TAKING THE WHOLE FIRST EPISODE’S TIME AND THEY’RE STILL NOT ON THE ISLAND?!?!?!?!?!?!
Hmm… 🤔… do you think maybe they should’ve started the 2nd season back on the island?
YES!!!!!!!!! DO THESE OTHER SCENES AS LIKE, IN BETWEEN WHATEVER IS GOING ON AT THE ISLAND!!!!!
So you think Western viewers are more invested in the surreal world of the island rather than “on the ground” scenes of what’s happening in my country?
Uhuh….?! I guess so?! Maybe I can’t speak on behalf of any Western audiences at all. I can only speak for myself??!?!! I clicked onto Squid Games because I remember the island!?!?! If I wanted to watch a detective movie I would do that?!?!?!?!
Right… so it’s feeling like another genre…?
Yeah?! Squid Games is its own WORLD… people wanna visually and narratively go back into that world… the real world is FUCKING BORING. That’s why we want to GO TO THE ISLAND!!!!!!!
Mmmm… interesting….
Anyway…
😏 I’m waiting for u to keep watching…
I’m bored. I might take a nap.
Ur gonna take a nap before they even get to the island?
Yes. Also. I thought the suit guy was a good looking character?! Why did they kill him?! It feels like, it doesn’t make sense.
What doesn’t make sense.
Why is the main guy an ugly uncle and they killed off the good looking guy?!?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ur calling him an ugly uncle?!??!!
Fine he’s not ugly but he’s not my type. I would say he’s a non-good-looking character. The detective guy is good looking tho…
😒 okay, we’ve had this conversation. You’re never meeting that actor in real life.
Lolllll 🤣
Anyway, go take a nap then.
U just want me to stop watching the good looking detective guy!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes?!?!? Stop watching then if it’s getting boring?!?!?!
Giggles 🥰 but it’s not as boring when the detective guy is on the screen!
YOU NEED TO GO TAKE A NAP NOW!
Lolll 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m skipping over detective guy scenes at 2x speed when we watch it together!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕
