You’ve probably caught on by now that this whole scenario bears more than a passing resemblance to Battle Royale (which was also ripped off by that Hunger Games show). This version, however, will not feature any underage Japanese high school girls with weapons. Make of that what you will.
Nice to see that Scapula did not entirely alienate himself from his former allies.
Nah, he just puts them to work doing menial tasks. It’s like having interns, only they kill people (…or just MORE people).
… on purpose. That is important to notice.
Is killing a few people really worth a college credit, kids?
Man, these kids get all the best halloween leftovers! At least they’re taking the fair route of distribution. Please note that while I don’t condone the mass kidnapping of people to be forced into these kinds of situations according to some jerkass upper management’s decision, I personally have no issue with them among relatively willing groups. You want to play tough guy? Money where your mouth is, omae. Murder might be a bit much but a good solid street brawl really shows who has the fortitude, guts, willpower, and instincts for violence.
And I think those people should be identified early on so people can keep a very close eye on them. Every society needs warriors and order-keepers, but most end up with wannabes on power trips.
Also….. how is Hunger Games so popular?! I am ASHAMED of the world for that and Twilight.
Not sure why The Hunger Games completely out-shined its obvious source in America (although I’m pretty sure Battle Royale has done quite well in its native Japan), other than there just ain’t no justice for some creators.
In any case, the main thing I take from the whole argument is that a lot of people know how to talk big and pick fights, but when it’s actually time to defend yourself it’s a whole different story. I’m not proposing some kind of mass Darwinist elimination of all the weak and feeble (that would wipe out most everyone on the internet!), but it does make you think.
I don’t have a point to this whole ramble, so I should stop now before some thinks I’m promoting murder. I’m not! Really! Be cool, people, be cool!
It was definately just a comment about how much people seem to want to fight but how few can and do.
Like the classic Milhouse quote, “I can kick your butt!…at Nintendo.”
He’d better be glad he didn’t choose the Mousetrap.
“YEEEOWCH!”, goes the kid.
“HAW-HAW!”, goes everyone else.
