Anyway, it was almost as expected. That is, the story is basically qualified, there are no surprises (maybe I am too strict? (after all, the protagonist is only 12 years old), and the world view is not more developed in the previous episode (perhaps because I have expectations, after all, I made up the meaning of the number on the neck). But the mirroring method is very skilled, and the character setting is very good. But I don't read Japanese comics, so I may not be able to judge from the perspective of Japanese comics. There are some dystopias, leftist fantasies, and fables of apocalyptic apocalypse. Maybe I have seen more dystopian themes, so my expectations are a little high.
From "The Truman World" and "The Hunger Games" to "Maze Runner" and "The Handmaid's Tale." The overall story is more like "The Truman World" + "The Maze Runner", and the first season only talked about the extent to which "Maze Runner" successfully escaped the first layer of material prisons, while political and spiritual prisons are the most important. most importantly, It would be even more ironic if, in the end, this escape became a screening in the villain's plan, or a conspiracy planned by the villain to overthrow the villain's rule. I still look forward to the later story, but if it is simply to fight the boss, overthrow the rules, or even get Norman to come back again, it will not be much fun (remember the setting of the blackening of the little boyfriend at the end of the Hunger Games). But the difference in the setting of this story is that the ruler is no longer human. We are just a kind of livestock. Maybe after we escaped, we found that there are three types of people in the world: those who are to be eaten, those who work for ghosts, and those who manage these two types of people. We are no longer the masters of this world, and it is impossible to save the world with just a few children.
