Let’s say they remade the entire series but with the cast consisting of Westerners and they’re speaking English (the original one takes place in South Korea with a Korean cast with subtitles), but the thing is that the actual “Squid Game” is a Korean children’s game which is not something that resonates with US culture, so would an actual American remake really succeed or fail?
I think “better” might be the wrong question.
*When has the American not been redundant when compared with the original?" Might be more appropriate.
As a Aussie I appreciated the original productions of Wilfred and Review as the surrealist masterpieces they are. That said the US remakes told their own stories. Saying one is better than the other ignores the fact they both have value and are doing their own thing.
Wilfred was amazing, I only saw the American version though. Such a weird experience.
