They also have their Squid Game reality show that has issues where contestants talk about it being rigged.

The idea of having two different live action shows named SQUID GAME on the same service is hilarious to me. An SEO nightmare.

this is pure rumor and their source is youtube podcast that says Netflix pitched this to David Fincher lol The whole remake angle is terrible, it was a plot point that Squid Games occur all over the world! Just have a spin-off that takes place in America.

Read After Burning posted:
Basically the accusations revolved around how there were two sets of contestants, people who went through a casting process and people who joined through an open call. The open call contestants were supposed to be given just as much of a chance but discovered stuff like the microphone packs they were given didn't actually work and there was also some kind of shenanigans about hotels and flights being booked like the producers knew who would be eliminated.

Mu Zeta posted:Reality shows have had writers since the beginning. Oh, absolutely, but is "some of these 'contestants' just straight-up have fake mics" a first? I'm not sure if they still do this, but at least one contestant on older seasons of Drag Race have said that they found out they were being eliminated by having a hotel bill for "incidentals" (aka things billed to the hotel room, etc) and a note slipped under their door the morning of, prior to that day's filming.

I’m still angry that the Milky Robot Show got cancelled. No, not Westworld! The OTHER Milky Robot Show! Whenever there was a new episode on my DVR, it’s what I always watched first before anything else.

I did manage to binge the entire second season of Single Drunk Female without stopping while playing Vampire Survivors yesterday, though. It remains a good show! Pretty much on the same level as s1 I think, but without the funny probation officer.

They ended with Satan turning Radiation Prophet into an Upside Down Jesus, and Milky Mom turned into a Full Body Condom by Grandma-Bot so she could turn the kids into mermaids, and I absolutely NEED to know what was coming next

Remember the episode where the kid found out his mom was a tree now? Then later on they found some old data discs that said,"Hey don't do <thing>, you'll turn into a tree and a space snake will deepthroat you!"

Jerusalem posted:his mom Even a statement like that is loaded when it comes to Raised by Wolves. His fake mom that killed his real mom so that she could escape on the ark ship on the enemy's side of the war but the kid didn't know she wasn't his mom at the time because kids were separated from parents at a young age and his fake mom developed more feelings and was a mom to him longer than his biological mom was so that she really is his real mom now.

Here's how my logic (which is infallible) works re: commercial viability of an entertainment property. Show ruled so they should have kept making it. I will not be taking questions at this time.

I'm not surprised Wolves was canceled but I am surprised a follow up comic was never made on the cheap. So many cheap tie in comics exist that I can't believe it wouldn't be worth it.

Who actually draws licensed comics is whoever is tracing over production stills.
