He’s not actually doing Squid Game.
Let’s also side-step previous criticismMrBeast has faced for his altruism being self-serving.
That has been discussed enough.
When you take that away, what are you left with?
The answer is ‘not a lot’, and that’s the whole point.
Originality does not sell.
Building on other works or critiquing them has always been creative.
But that’s not how most of it goes these days.
The best idea is always someone else’s.
That’s not necessarily MrBeast’s brand.
It’s not too dissimilar to junk food TV from the ’90s, but it’s mostly original stuff.
However, lately that approach has changed, and Beast Games is an extension of that.
MrBeast Is Now One Of The Big Faces Of Entertainment.
It Doesn’t Suit Him.
Over the past couple of years, MrBeast has gone from beingaYouTuber totheYouTuber.
And it may have starved him of his ideas.
I can’t believe I find myself thinking this, but that sort of nonsense seems below MrBeast.
He’s not the guy who does what everyone else is phoning it in on.
Nevertheless, at least it was original.
Beast Games is unoriginal for two reasons.
Firstly, and most obviously, it’s just Squid Game.
They say great writers steal, but I don’t think that’s what they meant.
Secondly, it’s not even the first time he’s done this.
When season one dropped in 2021,MrBeast organised his own version of it.
An idea at, at the very least, is his own.
It’s the future of entertainment.
The secret is you take the past of entertainment, and you do it again.
