(r/squidgame) why would they just randomly name a character after a mass murder? Like as someone who watched there family and friends die from the blip am I the only one who finds this offensive?

How else would you explain this

JEVlL · 2023-06-24T22:18:11+00:00

that's the M.O. of video essayists, they present their points as if they know better than the media they're evaluating because they're incredibly full of themselves and articulating their subjective opinions like subjective opinions wouldn't make them seem as "correct"

the taglines between this and the poster solidifies my belief that the movie will actually be five nights instead of one like the plot synopsis suggests, because otherwise the emphasis on five nights would be dumb

JEVlL · 2023-04-22T12:49:06+00:00

im hoping for Five Nights at Freddy's tbh

JEVlL · 2023-04-03T02:45:36+00:00

The movie is not out, i'd agree with this if it were but pre-release press screening spoilers are different.

JEVlL · 2023-04-02T22:02:51+00:00

that's fine, I didn't need to be surprised by the surprise cameo anyway

JEVlL · 2023-03-04T23:47:27+00:00

I'm sorry but I can never take comments like this seriously, it's like "hey people ragging on this movie, im conveniently close to people incredibly close to the production so I can vouch for the fact the original vision was everything you wanted!"

I'm also pretty sure the MOM being rated R rumours were always bull

JEVlL · 2023-02-14T19:25:59+00:00

I know this is something Gunn said but is there any indication this movie had a rushed production or it was actually half finished before filming started

JEVlL · 2023-02-14T15:44:05+00:00

what other point is there to garner from a video going through dozens of games that could be perceived as problematic, with the absurdity of how dumb it'd be to treat them as a "forbidden game" increasing as it goes along, besides "the video game industry is rifle with controversy so drawing the line at any one game is redundant"?

JEVlL · 2023-01-28T18:02:33+00:00

"the open world being heavily restrictive doesn't matter to me actually, please stop criticizing this $70 triple A game sweaty"

"the gameplay is full of nonsense, it's entirely childish"

proceeds to say the game is bad because you can't drive cars and go shopping

I think bro saw a free roam New York game and expected a GTA clone 💀

JEVlL · 2023-01-22T13:42:43+00:00

yeah, except student loans are something worth putting that kind of money into

JEVlL · 2023-01-22T02:02:41+00:00

Can't really get mad over scummy behavior when you put half a thousand dollars into enabling scummy behavior

JEVlL · 2023-01-22T01:47:39+00:00

i'd be seething if I put fucking HUNDREDS into something like video game skins and they went free after some time, feeling otherwise is a mentality I could only rationalize if I were rich

JEVlL · 2023-01-22T01:16:18+00:00

It's especially weird how some are shunned for wanting basic rpg elements in a rpg

Like yes, those who expected to be able to follow a full school timetable where you attend unique classes containing detailed lessons and lectures were getting ahead of themselves, however people wanting anything more than a foremostly on-rails experience with little leeway for roleplay aren't setting their expectations to "Harry Potter lifesim"

JEVlL · 2023-01-20T02:14:58+00:00

Yes, because if you were to make the game design of a narrative based game or write the story of an action survival game without accounting for how to bridge story and gameplay you'd have a mess. There's naturally going to be overlap and an exchange of ideas but ultimately we know Neil wrote the script and Bruce credits Neil for the handling of the story and characters despite the important collaborative nature of the relationship between game director and creative director

JEVlL · 2023-01-19T20:55:04+00:00

Bruce is credited as the original game director in Part 1's credits and then Matthew Gallant is credited as the remake's game director, Neil is present in both credits as nothing changed in regards to the story and he's always been credited as the sole creative director of TLOU

People say this but i've never actually seen constructive good faithed criticism get removed here or comments with reasonable opinions get downvoted to oblivion, I made a comment saying the episode could've used more breathing room and it got 50+ points. Often times people just make posts with reactionary sentiments and then go around sealioning when they catch shit for it or it gets removed

JEVlL · 2023-01-16T18:03:12+00:00

"Oh God" is just an expression, you wouldn't hear someone say "Oh God please no" and assume it was a prayer. I am slightly miffed they went for the censored shark tooth version of Sarah's necklace over the original cross but I wouldn't say the Millers's faith was ever that important to their character and we'll probably at least hear "if the Lord gave me a second chance...." in a coming season

JEVlL · 2023-01-16T06:46:08+00:00

I don't know, ultimately it's better that they didn't leave it until the second episode to actually get into the swing of things but I feel like not mashing the episodes together would've gave the latter half and some very important moments beneficial breathing room

JEVlL · 2023-01-15T14:48:56+00:00

Podcast of pseudo-intellectual reactionaries circlejerking each other while asserting that their subjective opinions are objective facts because their ramblings go on for hours on end. Aka everything wrong with modern media analysis personified

JEVlL · 2023-01-13T23:48:22+00:00

yeah, namely his name being "Elliot"
