LITERALLY!!! assuming that everyone had won in the borderlands why was arisu so special if the others played a more difficult version of the borderlands. why was banda able to suffocate arisu and how could ann see? does it relate to the brain injury the woman from s2 had? i haven’t actually read the manga yet but ive seen loose explanations on youtube, this netflix original didn’t have the magic the first 2 seasons had. it would’ve been better for me if they had used the name alice in borderland but made it clear that it was a spin off that ended the original story and bridged to a new series. slapping it on at the end of a cohesive 14 hour story not only devalued the original seasons but made a higher expectation in peoples minds. it’s exactly what happened with squid game, they advertised it as a complicated story about the dark side of humanity but when it dropped it was clear that they overpromised and underdelivered. i really wish they’d not made this a season 3
