Huh, wow, good for Alice in borderlands. Didn’t expect it to do so well.

Death games are kind of cliche by this point but I liked this show. The games were fun and not as depraved. They were often dumb and unbalanced. And the final fight was wildly choreographed much better than almost any non martial arts thing



I think we have a US exhaustion.

There are some really great movies that does great locally, then gets a remake by Hollywood and flops because it gets americanized, and then you kill not only the american version but the local one as well, as it becomes harder to market it, killed by association.

American movies are great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s too much.


I don’t feel like I can name an example of a good foreign film that got poorly remade such that the local one is bad

Bad American remakes seem kind of rare too, with the exception of terrible live action adaptions


What you said did not make much sense, if it got poorly remade how can the local one be bad? that would mean the local one is better because the remake is worse.

Most horror remakes are seen as bad and a lot are forgotten, The mist, The Shining, Psycho. Shows imported from britain are bad, like The it crowd, a good deal of panel shows from britain crashed and burned.

Hollywood also has the capability of throwing away movies if they think are bad enough. "Release the snyder cut". There's plenty of bad remakes, I'm not young but a lot of things are remakes from the 50s 60s 70s 80s and we just don't know, apart from the adaptations of foreign movies and films.


Well that was the premise I doubted so…
