PewDiePie isn\u2019t buying into the Squid Game hype: \u2018It\u2019s just an anime ripoff!\u2019 YouTube: PewDiePie \/ NetflixPopular YouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg shared his take on the hit Netflix series Squid Game. The Swedish star explained why he thinks the show isn\u2019t original and why he thinks it\u2019s flawed. Ever since its release in September 2021, Korean Netflix series Squid Game has taken the world by storm. The death game drama has captivated viewers with its brutal story and thrilling challenges, which fans have tried attempting on platforms like TikTok. However, one person not in love with it is YouTube star PewDiePie. The 31-year-old gave his thoughts on the popular show during his October 4 upload. According to Kjellberg, the story is not only a little too similar to some anime, but it also has one glaring flaw. PewDiePie criticizes Squid Game For his latest upload, the YouTuber played a re-creation of Squid Game in Roblox. While attempting the last man-standing contest in game form, he revealed how he felt about the Netflix series dominating the charts. \u201cWhy is no one talking about how Squid Game is like ripping off all these animes. Like Kaiji and Liar Game, ain\u2019t nothing new! Right?!\u201d the entertainer exclaimed while showing images from the Netflix drama side-by-side to the anime series. As far as what the show\u2019s biggest flaw is according to Pewds? It\u2019s protagonist Gi-Hun. \u201cPlus, what was fun about those shows was the fact that the protagonist was actually kind of smart,\u201d he said. (Topic starts at 00:34) Although the YouTube star was critical of the Netflix hit, he admitted that he had not yet finished it. \u201cI don\u2019t know how it changes. I\u2019ve only watched a few episodes of Squid Game.\u201d Hilariously, PewDiePie was stumped when he had to play the infamous \u201choneycomb\u201d game which went viral on TikTok. \u201cI am SO CONFUSED playing a child\u2019s game!\u201d he yelled. Despite his critical take, the content creator couldn\u2019t get enough of the Roblox re-creation. \u201cThat was Squid Game. Very fun! I actually enjoyed myself.\u201d Who knows, perhaps the Swede could come around to loving the show once he makes it to the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
