Wait, Is The Purge a Movie...or a Show? I'm Confused!
Okay, let's be real. I get mixed up. Am I the only one who sometimes forgets if The Purge is a movie, a TV show, or both?
Seriously, it's like a multiple-choice question where all the answers look right. My brain just glitches.
The Movie Side
We all remember the first Purge movie, right? The one with Ethan Hawke barricading his family in. Good times (sort of).
It was intense! And it kicked off the whole Purge phenomenon. So, yeah, movies are definitely part of the equation.
But wait! There's more!
Enter the TV Series
Then came the TV show. Suddenly, we're following different people each season. More characters, more storylines.
And guess what, all of those different people is on Purge. The show really expanded the Purge universe.
Now I'm double confused!
My Unpopular Opinion: It's BETTER as a TV Show
Okay, hear me out. This might be controversial. But I think The Purge works *better* as a TV show.
Why? Because we get more time. More time to explore the characters' motivations. More time to see the chaos unfold.
In the movies, everything has to be wrapped up in two hours. The show has seasons to play with!
Plus, the show can delve deeper into the political and social implications. You know, the stuff that makes you think. Even the stuff that makes you squirm a little.
Don't Get Me Wrong, the Movies are Fun!
I'm not saying the movies are bad. They're great for a quick, adrenaline-pumping thrill. Like a scary rollercoaster ride.
But the TV show is like a long, winding road trip through Purge-land. You get to see all the sights, both good and terrifying!
So, Is It a Movie or a TV Show? (The Answer is Still "Yes")
Ultimately, the answer is both. The Purge is a multimedia experience! We are so lucky.
It’s a cinematic universe of violence and social commentary! One night of legal crime. Now, everyone is invited.
But personally? I'm Team TV Show. What about you?
Let's be honest, who doesn't love the Purge? Even if we can't remember which is which!
So, next time someone asks me, I'm just going to shrug and say, "Yes!" Maybe then they'll be as confused as I am.
