href=\"https:\/\/www.soapcentral.com\/humor\/david-fincher-s-u-s-squid-game-remake-confirmed-fans-react-hilariously\">Shocker<\/a>: US remake of Squid Game by David Fincher confirmed<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Here\u2019s the thing, I actually really like David Fincher.\u00a0 Man did <em>Fight Club<\/em> and <em>Mindhunter<\/em>, two titles I hold in extremely high regard.\u00a0 But I do harbor some sour grapes for him for being the cocksucker who will apparently be spearheading an American-localization of <em>Squid Game<\/em>, which seems about as essential as little silicone pot attachments to prop open your lids or hold your ladles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Obviously, I am hardly a fan of any time Hollywood gets their greedy grubby claws into an idea that is not inherently theirs, but then whitewashes the fuck out of them because white people in America are too xenophobic and\/or illiterate to consume anything that isn\u2019t produced in America or has subtitles and requires reading to comprehend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Squid Game is already an amazing series with fantastic visuals, storytelling, writing, music and overall production, and requires absolutely no remaking.\u00a0 But Americans are too fucking lazy and unintelligent that one is apparently in the works to be made, which we all know is going to have nothing but bullshit American actors and performers, and out of respect to the Orientals, they\u2019ll probably cast one Asian guy to be the American equivalent of Abdul Ali, who was the token foreigner in Korea, except that\u2019ll probably end up being Henry Golding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Benedict Cumberbatch will undoubtedly be Gi-Hyun, and the Red Light\/Green Light doll will be remade to look like Sabrina Carpenter.\u00a0 And because they\u2019ll want to have some diversity, and we all know \u201cdiversity\u201d in American means \u201cblack people,\u201d they\u2019ll have Tiffany Haddish be the Front Man, except that it\u2019s now the Front Woman, where they can kill two birds with one stone by having a black woman in a prevalent role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Like I said, David Fincher is a good director whom I do like his works, but it definitely is a bitter pill to swallow that he\u2019s taking point on a flagrant example of white washing.\u00a0 Squid Gmae doesn\u2019t need recreation.\u00a0 American audiences need better education and reinforced understanding that the world does not cater to them.\u00a0 Accept that outstanding media can come from other countries and learn how to fucking read subtitles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">As Ho Bong-Joon said,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">It\u2019s astounding the arrogance of America to take something wildly successful and not requiring of any recreation, and doing it anyway, and wasting inevitably an ungodly amount of money and resources to do so, when instead better stories and content could have been created instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I want to say that I\u2019ll refuse to watch an inevitable Squid Game remake, but I\u2019m not going to kid myself, curiosity and the inevitable want to make a scathing comparison might make me do so, regardless of my vitriol for the idea in the first place.\u00a0 The want for brog content is endless, and if it inspires writing, I\u2019m usually game for just about anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">**I actually gave this some more thought after I had initially written this, and I think I\u2019ve figured out why there is a perceived need for a white people version of Squid Game.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen a lot of memes and reels about Squid Game as of late, and I\u2019ve noticed that almost all of them are referring to characters solely by their player numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">And it\u2019s my belief that this spurred the want for a variant of Squid Game where the characters can have good ol\u2019 American names like Dave or Harold, so that white people can avoid the indignity of being exposed for not being able to, or having to suffer the potential embarrassment of having to pronounce ching-chongey foreign names like Gi-Hun, Sae-Byeok, Geum-Ja or Abdul Ali, when they want to inevitably talk about Squid Game with other people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Because if there\u2019s one thing white people really dislike, it\u2019s feeling self-conscious about potentially sounding racially insensitive about other cultures, so it seems like classic white people logic to instead of learning how to properly pronounce Korean names to just instead drop millions on millions of dollars to just remake Squid Game altogether, where Gi-Hun can go by Timothee, Dae-Ho can be Kaiden, Nam-Gyu can be Trent and In-Ho can be Hunter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Now it makes perfect sense to why a white people version of Squid Game even needs to come to fruition.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shocker: US remake of Squid Game by David Fincher
