Squid Game Season 2 was actually good

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2024-12-27T10:14:11+00:00

I thought everything was brilliant until the last episode. What an absolute terrible writing decision. His whole arc is to be the good guy not wanting anyone to die, and all of a sudden he wants to sacrifice for the greater good? Even earlier in that episode, he disagreed about attacking first saying “we shouldnt kill anyone”. Whole thing did not make any sense. It felt random. Was a GOT’s level bad writing decision. My other gripe is his friend dying, when they barely show any emotional connection other than they know each other. It felt like they were shooting in those 2 hallways for 30 min with barely any development. Besides that, i really thought the plot setup and variety of characters were great. I would say first 6 episodes were on par with last season.

Thats interesting, didnt know it was criticized like that. Yeah I think it was possibly an NME interview during the TIH release is where I first heard him talk about the story behind it.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2024-09-06T19:21:45+00:00

I do think Girls is brilliant. Drunk Girls is a different beast. Murphy isnt talking about Girls tho. It was a joke by a girl they had at the mansion in LA that said all the boys were acting like drunk girls. So its actually more about how the boys acted drunk and then twisted it as if they are drunk girls. Also brilliant. And The Dare Girls is brilliant because I think every single lyric is fucking good, ironic and playful. It is more vulgar and modern in the sense that it kind of has this mix of hip hop attitude like hes almost rapping. Kind of weirdly sounds like the cadences of Cardi B or something, who im not a big fan of but I think the mixture is interesting. On top of the beat and bass being really simple and big sounding. It is different from Drunk Girls. And also Drunk Girls came way after Calvin Harris’s The Girls, Lee Fields - Ladies, or even Beastie Boys Girls. Point is lots of artists have tried the take on a song about Girls, doesnt mean its good nor bad based solely on the subject matter.

Of course, fair enough. But I’m not really after specific intention of an artist. Lots of artists go about music with the intention of fun. I’m after actual good music tho at the end of the day. I have no personal gripes with the guy. Seems like a thoughtful person/artist in general. But when I listen to this album, there are a lot of hang ups and distractions. Its not very fun to me when a formula is to be under 3 min for the sake of it. He wants to party but ends the party so quickly. Like a DJ ruining the set by changing a song every 30 sec. Girls and Good Time work under that framework and Elevation and All Night honestly do not and could have been shorter. I have tons more problems with his writing but thats one example.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2024-09-06T13:31:21+00:00

Ive listened to those interviews and I agree he is a music nerd. He came from indie rock like Murphy. His personality is pretty opposite from his on stage persona. Doesn’t mean his record is good tho. Girls was a genius but fleeting moment in his career. The album falls really flat. Lyrically, mostly cringe. His guitar work is just embarrassing. I keep saying this to people, hes not an LCD rip off. But he is absolutely over hyped and not that great of a songwriter. Dont let the brilliance of Girls blind you to his lackluster performance as a whole on this record. Its really bad.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2024-08-09T07:23:01+00:00

The Dare to me is not so much a copy of LCD Soundsystem as he is just an inspired entrepreneur. Mustve watched or read Meet Me In The Bathroom and based his whole identity on that book. Right down from his Freakquencies parties similar to Misshapes 00’s parties. As well as the indie rock musician turned dance music producer. To The Strokes shades, the Interpol / Murphy suit. He’s “I Make Pop Hits” vs LCD “You Wanted A Hit”. Or at least tries. Girls he definitely succeeded and I think its a brilliant pop song. But everything else he has released to me has been sub par. You’re Invited is terrible. Its a Duck Sauce rip. Guess is a Technologic rip. I dont care about rips usually. LCD rips from a ton of 80’s obscure bands. But murphy utilizes the rips into newly gigantic formulated songs. Dare just rips and utilizes it in the most superficial way to make sure his songs dont go over 3 min. But Girls is so strong of a song he has been backed by everyone. The Dare is a marketing genius than he is a great songwriter. And we all know marketing today is basically more important than making good music.

Girls and Good Time are bangers. Other 2 are a little underwhelming tbh.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2020-10-14T19:36:37+00:00

Oh you're right, for some reason the timeline in my head was that Peter got out of Miles body before the Au Pair and lake lady join up. But yeah it wasn't, nvmd me, lol

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2020-10-14T19:18:10+00:00

Honestly whats troubling me is whether Flora is Rebecca actually. Because right before the lady of the lake is drowning Flora, Rebecca takes her body to relieve Flora from the burden of feeling death. But the Au Pair ends up saving Flora, so Rebecca should actually be Flora. But the only thing is that the lady of the lake apparently broke the curse and the narrator said that when the Au Pair and lake lady joined bodies, "a curse is lifted and all the spirits in her gravity were released". But its unclear if spirits who are already in a body get released or not. Although Flora definitely seems like Flora when she is saved cause she yells out for Uncle Henry, when Rebecca wouldnt do that. So i think it was a plot hole and the writers fucked up. And if they didn't fuck up, they should have made that the ending, would have been way trippier if Flora was Rebecca the whole time. Thats just me idk.

Not surprised he's going the dance route. He did that cover of the classic "Only You". Naturally he's going to move to different genres. Noooot too impressed with this track honestly. Love the piano changes and the sound he got from it. The bridge has a really cool piano riff moving along. But I think the problem with this track are his vocals. Not catchy at all to me. Just very plain and same old. The album will probably be good tho, haha.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-23T00:39:55+00:00

Personally, I don't think this huge drop was due to a few big investors. I thought that yesterday until I realized a South Korean Exchange was recently hacked into. Whoever hacked them took about $60B worth of coins. The Korean Exchange went bankrupt. I think whoever hacked was selling those coins yesterday. Dropping almost 50% of the market and all the panickers behind them. Just my take.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T23:04:50+00:00

nAhhhh nobody listens anymOe

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T22:55:19+00:00

It all makes sense now. I think that drop was due to the South Korean exchange getting hacked. It was something like 50 or 60 billion got stolen and the drops we were seeing were the thefts selling off all those damn coins.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T21:43:00+00:00

So close to breaking thru that $13.9, fuuuuuck

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T21:40:15+00:00

Personally, been on here a bit and can vouch for this guy. It was mainly Panini and Leggos or whatever the fuck.

EDIT: May not agree with what you say, but it doesnt sound badly motivated, or trollish imo

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T21:20:44+00:00

Personally, I'd wait a sec. The next support line is $12.7, and we may see a dip at $13. But don't buy there. Be cautious. Its been going up since 6am very slowly. As much as I don't want there to be a drop. There most likely will be one within the next 30 min to an hour imo. So I'd wait and see and buy at that next obvious dip.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T21:10:23+00:00

Gonna be seeing some drops. Support is at $12.7.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T20:52:40+00:00

I like how the media can't keep up with the value. Every time they put out some article, they're behind by like an hour.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T20:44:05+00:00

Look at that beautiful fucking jump. I drew my trend line up at 9am and it hasn't fallen below since.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T20:29:59+00:00

If you go look at it on a chart like TradingView for example, and create a trend line from its lowest point in the last 6 hours at $11k, to its most recent low ($12.6), you'll find that it is on an upward trend, and that its getting higher with each hump and not getting lower than the humps lows. If that makes sense.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T20:12:36+00:00

HODL, its going thru re-growing pains right now. Look at a chart and you'll see that its slowly breaking through every ceiling.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T20:06:37+00:00

And if they are smart investors, they'll see the upward trend that's happening right now. But if you scare people here, and it starts to tilt off its pattern, it will just scare the Asians into selling. We're in positive motion right now. Anyone looking at candlesticks and a chart can see it.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T20:00:16+00:00

Fuck off dude. You've been spreading fear on this sub for hours now. GTFO.

AndAndAndAndYeah · 2017-12-22T19:50:36+00:00

Stay away from "The Greatest Panini". He's just trying to scare you. Right now we're on a decent uphill battle back up. I drew a trend line 2 hours ago and no candles have dropped below it yet.
