Should lean into the mythology. They are a company called Apple so why not make a show called Snake?

Oh I think the ship has sailed on it by now. Our best hope is a future Tron movie might happen. It sounds like Jared Leto is involved which has some baggage I suppose but could still work out.

It probably won't quite scratch the same itch and is much less thoughtful but if you have Disney+ and need something else after Pantheon, you could do worse than watching Tron Uprising. Good voice acting cast, distinctive art style, and a sound track that is working with the same musical themes as the movie.

AMC+ should just rename itself "Don't get attached to this show+". After they renewed but then unrenewed Moonhaven I am not ready to be hurt again.

Interesting side trivia about Pantheon: I believe the main writer also is responsible for one of the major translations of The Three Body Problem.

Whedon shows are littered with them. If you made it to the end of the Dollhouse there are some character turns that are just stunning.

Steven Universe surprised me a few times with where the characters ended up going. It was always human and fit with who they were but also unique and nuanced in a way that only humans can be.

>!Firing the gun could have set off the vapors in the room before Arisu was ready to dive out through the window. Yes that would mean the bullet would have had to travel through KoS' head, through the door, and then hit something metal in the the room to create a spark but it is possible. And the fact is, the method they used actually worked.!<

Here's one that was strongly influential on Squid Game: Kaiji Ultimate Survivor (anime). Technically it isn't always a death game (though at least one arc is).

I have seen the Dangenronpa anime and that is alright. I believe it is based on a series of video games that people swear by.

Another show that isn't a death game but has some of the DNA for this stuff I think is The Prisoner. The original 60s version is sometimes cited as one of the best pieces of television of its era.

The movie Would You Rather is a bit mediocre (59% RT score) but it does have some of the same elements as well.

There really is something to this. I don't know if it is because of the long gap between seasons but it really helped to refresh my memory of the characters and more importantly it enhanced my emotional connection with them.

> I think the show is hot garbage.

You have a strong opinion. Here's mine: I liked it better than Squid Game in most ways. I also have enjoyed Kaiji (the anime) and Battle Royale as well as a few other death game shows. I think they all bring something to the table and Squid Game does have some very good moments.

After a long period I would suggest you try watching Alice in Borderland. I think you might get something out of a second viewing that you did not in the first. Personally I had to revisit some of the first season episodes to see how the characters are built.

I am just getting to the end of Season 2. I mean it in the best possible way when I say watching this show has been like going through hell. You come out the other side and you've seen some shit. You've lived through depair and horror and surrender and fear and inspiration and...just all of it.

I'm not saying it is perfect. People will mention how it is slow in some places, or melodramatic, or unrealistic. For me I think some of that works in the show's favor ultimately, and any parts that didn't I could overlook.

That show was, well it wasn't great. I did watch all of that season though. Then again I also watched all of Siberia on NBC.

A lot of zombies are gonna be jobless pretty soon.
