TIRED: sang-woo’s immoral actions in squid game were a result of a ruthless economic system and life-or-death situation in which selfishness is the best path to success
Okay, I know I said I wasn’t going to talk about Game of Thrones anymore, but there’s something incredibly stupid that’s been eating at me for weeks, and I need to get it off my chest so I can stop thinking about it. All that dumb Jon and Daenerys shit everyone hated towards the end of s08 is just the end of the Hunger Games series, except much crappier. It just fucking is. It’s been bothering me so bad.
I’m so sorry for wasting your dash space with this long af shitpost insinuating that GoT ripped off a famous YA scifi series, but I gotta spread the word.
Anyways. First off, here’s Jon Snow Katniss Everdeen, the gloomy young person everyone keeps pushing into leadership positions even though she keeps saying she doesn’t want them
Towards the end of the last movie, the evil dictator current President surrounds his mansion with civilians, especially children, in order to “protect” them during the rebel attack on the city
However, the president of the rebels flies overhead and bombs the defenseless people anyway
That ends the war. So, afterwards, Katniss is talking to this dude who’s basically Cersei except not dead, but that isn’t relevant to this comparison, and he’s like “lol your president’s a tyrant as well. She played the game and she won. She’s the one who killed all those innocents, and she’s gonna keep this country under her tyrannical rule. She’s the new big bad.”
and the brooding young hero’s like “uhhh no it ain’t like that bruh”
and he’s like “lol bitch stop lying to yourself, yeah she is. Burning people is bad, and she burned a ton of people, sooo…”
and Katniss is like “oh shit.” So the rebel president’s up giving this big speech about how she’s going to end all injustice and tyranny and stuff
so then Katniss is like “time to die”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Holy fuck, this shit’s, like, shot-for-shot now that I’m looking at them next to each other. What the fuck. Like I was sort of joking when I started this post, but I’m convincing myself now)
So then everyone’s like “THAT ASSHOLE KILLED OUR LEADER!!!” But half the people want Katniss dead and half of them are like “but she’s a war hero…” She’s sitting in her little cell, wondering what they’re gonna do with her, and Woody Harrelson shows up and is like “here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna kick you out to the far edges of the country…”
“…where you will live with your friends forever, and never have another responsibility again. I mean, your family’s not around anymore since half of them are dead and the other half live far away, but that’s it. Big fucking punishment”
Oh, yeah, then towards the end they mention how Phillip Seymore Lannister, the adviser of the president Katniss killed, is now the new president’s adviser, and Woody Harrelson’s like “Damn, he played the game and he won”
(And Gwendoline Christie + Natalie Dormer were there, so that settles it)
tl;dr: D&D procrastinated and forgot to write the last two episodes of GoT until the last second cause they were busy staying up all night marathoning the Hunger Games movies and it shows. You can’t change my mind
okay this whole “i’m only funny because of my trauma” bullshit was bad from the start but it’s officially crossed the shit idiot event horizon now it’s got yall asking if i’d rather suffer horribly, potentially for the rest of my life from the effects even after the traumatic event itself is over, or be… not very interesting? like do you even hear yourself??? get better coping mechanisms. for your own sake.
