- moate 4y agoIDK that you can say Squid Games isn't part of a trend when Korean pop culture and arts are having a pretty big moment around the world (K-pop is massive, Parasite kicked ass at the Oscars) and EVERYONE wants a dystopia story because of how the shitty the world feels. Squid Game doesn't feel like it came out of nowhere, and is actually pretty derivative (go re-watch Running Man or Battle Royale).
