That is rather annoying, honestly. I wish people would stop assuming everything they see is a completely original concept just because they haven’t personally seen anything like it before. It gives away how shallow their reference pool is.

It’s also annoying when people call it a wholesale ripoff of other death game fiction, with no individual merit of it’s own. Especially when they compare it to the wrong death game fiction that it clearly took 0 influence from. Like OP saying it’s “literally Hunger Games and Alice in Borderland”, which are ridiculous comparisons with no basis other than they all belong to the same sub genre. This kind is attitude is just as revealingly shallow as the people who think everything new to them is original.

Like many others with more knowledge and experience with the sub genre have said, the influences for Squid Game are Kaiji and Battle Royale. But other people will instead call it a copy of whatever death game fiction they’re familiar with. Even Honest Trailers called this out:

“But now, catch the intense global sensation that’s making Americans who’s only exposure to Battle Royale concepts is Fortnite, and who’s only exposure to Korean film is Parasite say: “I’m getting serious Parasite meets Fortnite vibes from this””
