Unsatisfactory means basic satisfaction; unsatisfactory means unsatisfactory.
Because a lot of people always use mistakes to make a difference, I deliberately use this title.
So, is this show unsatisfactory?
If it is separated from the touts of many people and viewed in an unexpected background, it is still reluctantly satisfied and basically acceptable, but, seeing people on the page and other platforms boasting so much, they say that it is much better than "Squid Game"— - So, in the context of dissatisfaction with "Squid Game", watching this drama with high expectations can only feel unsatisfactory.
If the protagonist in "The Squid Game" is a pure waste, with neither intelligence nor force, then "Alice in the Dead Country" presupposes an image of the protagonist with high IQ, but in the story process In the middle of the story, he and others were given the wisdom, so that the story that was a little interesting and a little exciting seemed very "dog blood". That is, set teammates or opponents to be stupid, so the protagonist is set off to be smart and powerful. This really doesn't deserve what some would call a high-level compliment.
In contrast, the wits in "Gambling Apocalypse" are much more exciting, and although there is no large-scale killing in "Gambling Apocalypse", the sense of tension and excitement is throughout, and many scenes are like Immersive, I couldn't help but sweat for the protagonist when I watched it.
In this play, except for the first episode, which showed the protagonist's keen observation, memory, and computing ability, the other episodes almost only show one aspect of ability every time, and even in the third episode, they directly follow Follow the heroine like a fool. Although some people say that the protagonist was just hit by the pain of bereavement, the fall of wisdom is also a reasonable plot. However, as ordinary viewers without fan filters, why should we accept such a mentally retarded setting? None of his objective performance, nor the objective performance of others in the same group, showed the potential to pass several games—unless they were all fates with a very high "luck" value.
Moreover, as a "Battle Royale" type of story, except for a few copies of specific prompts to bring weapons or tools, few people actively look for tools before the game starts - do you really think that there is no need to fight at all scene? Especially in the third episode, if you have a stick or other equipment that can cause damage, you can completely kill the black panther with the cooperation of a few people by taking advantage of the terrain and the limitations of the vehicle at that time.
In addition to the contrast between the protagonist's own setting and the plot, others can even say that there is no setting, or that it is a setting that is more incompatible - so ordinary, why can you continue to live?
The only advantage of the heroine is her high agility, good at climbing and running. However, most of these games test intelligence on the one hand and force on the other. The heroine has never shown her IQ once, and the only few battles—such as the battle of the ten of hearts—have no defense against the boss of the martial arts faction, and have no habit of using weapons. Of course, there is an opportunity to use the speed duel to show its effect later in the comics, but this time, it can only be said that little is better than nothing. More often, she only assumes the role of a vase, and at the same time, as a placebo for the male protagonist, the male protagonist is forced to complete the task.
The second male is a typical male second setting in Japanese anime, pretending to be cool, with high IQ or high force value. As a result, in the first season, he did not actually show any intelligence and force, but he just pitted the protagonist at the end. Then in the follow-up comics, he showed a higher IQ. His more value seems to be about the same as everyone else, just to reveal the "meaning of life" - which is why many people give the show and the comics behind it high marks. Now, it's an anime that can talk about a few big truths and explore the meaning of life. There's no point in wasting the character's value on this. Wisdom fighting works, wisdom fighting is the first, supplemented by appropriate martial arts, can be more exciting. Exploring the so-called meaning of life is not only chasing the bottom line, but also a cover-up for the inability of the wisdom design.
In contrast, the flat-chested transgender karate female water cock is a better character setting. At first I thought she was also a vase character, which was equivalent to giving the male lead and the second male a vase each. As a result, she was a master of karate before she changed, and after she changed she could beat the villain with a knife with her bare hands. That stupid big man with swords, apart from being tall and thin, did not introduce him to have a background in swordsmanship. In theory, even with a sword, he should be able to be easily knocked down.
In addition to setting mediocre characters, there are also characters that are set too buggy, that is, the boss and the second child of the martial arts faction. Still has decent fighting power. Under the background of the physical fitness of ordinary people, it seems that the two of them have a bit of super serum.
In general, at first glance, it is still a bit more interesting than "The Squid Game", but as the plot develops, the plot logic is much worse, there are many contradictions between the characters, and the characters are extremely secondary. And "Squid Game", although the game content is mentally retarded, but the plot logic is good, the plot is smooth and compact, so even if the protagonist is a super big waste, but with the blessing of other characters, the story can still be read continuously.
This drama has made people disappointed continuously after being slightly surprised in the first season. The overall viewability may not be higher than that of "Squid Game". Therefore, the overall rating is the same as "Squid Game", with three stars at most. If you add disappointment and disgust to some fans' fanatical praise, then deduct one star and only give two stars.
In the end, the show, as a typical battle royale genre, is worth watching -- even if I give it three or two stars.
