From the beginning of civilization, we’ve known there was something captivating about watching human beings fight for their lives. That’s why we watch gladiator games, public executions, rubber-necking on the freeway. But now the world’s gone soft. Everything is safe. Everything is careful. So, we created a sport for people who still have a thirst for savagery, and we provided them with a box seat for life’s ultimate drama. Our customers are some of the most powerful people in the world. But every year, they demand more. More complicated rooms. More interesting subjects. More ways to gamble on life and death. Last year, they had college athletes. The year before, savants. And this year, we had lone survivors. They wanted to know if luck had anything to do with it.

We're sole survivors. We're a statistical improbability. And now they want to see who will be the luckiest among the lucky.

god i wish the escape room movies had more of an audience becuase i NEED to talk about danny kahn like like LIKE
spoilers below obviously
this kid is the youngest player (I don't think it's specified but he's at oldest early 20's) and he lost his ENTIRE FAMILY to carbon monoxide poisoning either very recently or REALLY YOUNG (I can't remember if we know) and is also he is so fucking good at escape rooms like really good at escape rooms
and then he has the only death that's pretty much exclusively unavoidable regardless of how clever you are
like you can make the argument it wouldn't have happened if ben hadn't been a dick but also there were clearly explosives in the ice and a fast current and regardless it's clear minos wanted to kill him; it wasn't about luck it wasn't about being smarter it wasn't about making mistakes he just dies because they explode the ice he's standing under
and it almost makes you wonder if minos had underestimated him? like they hadn't realized quite how good he'd be, and wanted it to come down to luck more than it came down to skill or maybe they HADN'T underestimated him but his death had just been a preplanned and especially cruel way of setting the stakes for the other players
like idk where im going with this and it's not expanded upon at all in the movie because he dies first and obviously from like an Art perspective he's clearly just the peppy, vaguely likable scapegoat character who dies first so the audience invested in the stakes but also I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIM I WANT FANFIC ABOUT HIM I WANT TO THINK ABOUT DANNY KAHN FROM THE ESCAPE ROOM MOVIES-

hi non-existent escape room fandom
do you guys ever think about the fact that
a normal young person can't be at fault for a carbon monoxide poisoning, a targetted soldier can't be at fault for an IED blast, an innocent miner trying to do his job can't be at fault for a mine collapse, a person just trying to sail somewhere can't be at fault for the boat turning over, a normal passenger can't be at fault for a plane crash, but the driver IS at fault in a car crash!
cause i do! i think abt that A LOT.

man everyday i wish Escape Room (2019) had gotten more popular. the trailers made it look so bad, i know i didn’t watch it until years after it came out, but it’s genuinely one of my favorite movies (not that i necessarily have good taste). i love the blatantly autistic coded main girl, Zoe, and the rest of the characters as well. it’s got an actor i really like, Tyler Labine (known for playing Hunk on Voltron and also for being in Tucker and Dale Vs Evil) in ANOTHER role that just makes me love him more. it has portrayals of PTSD that i find very compelling and cinematic. i would suggest looking for a trigger list before watching tho seeing as it’s a horror movie (i think i would suggest that for any horror movie tho). i watch this movie like every three to four months.
TLDR pls watch Escape Room (2019) (and it’s sequel isnt terrible if you feel up to watching that too)

saw ur post about Danny from escape room and omg agreed I need more people to talk about him with he's so underrated
NO LIKE ACTUALLY THOUGH!!!!
I genuinely love him, he's so harmless and genuinely excited to be there, it's like textbook-first-death-you-care-about-to-get-you-invested, but I think it would be fascinating to see how the story would progress if he had lived longer. He doesn't get much of a chance to realize this isn't just a super fucking good escape room and I'd love to see how he'd react to another person's death, or the more morally-questionable puzzles.
Would he step up to the plate in a Zoe sort of way? I feel like theres even a possibility he'd cling to the concept of it just being a normal escape room for WAY longer than he should as a way to cope with all the fucked up shit happening.
Because if you think about it even his personal tragedy/survival event (while also being SO FUCKING SAD OHHH MY GOD??? how old was he??? was he a kid??? when did this happen?? if someone remembers if it's says how long ago HIS ENTIRE FAMILY DIED let me know) is incredibly passive.
He definitely saw his family post-death but unlike a plane crash or a mine cave or any of the other tragedies in he has never actually seen anyone else in the process of dying, and I think that would be SO interesting to explore.
Like is that why he likes escape rooms so much? Because it's a way to solve 'impossible' puzzles and clever-your-way out of problems in a way he never got a chance to because he was probably asleep when it happened?
(I also wish we got a slightly closer look at how Ben feels about his death. Because it's really no one but Minos' fault but if the blame had to be pointed to another player it's on him. And he's already got a complex about that shit. Danny is a significantly more sympathetic/guilt complex kind of murder than Jason.)
He's just SO interesting as a character, especially because his death is the only non-preventable one. Theres no way to out-think being dragged under ice in a freezing current. I know the whole game is about luck but it's entirely unfair in a way that I can't even imagine would be particularly entertaining for the people watching at home and I WANNA KNOW WHY! Was he always going to die first? Did they underestimate how good at escape rooms he was? Was it a shock value death to keep all the rich viewers who bet on the safest-winner invested? Was it just because he brought a phone when he wasn't supposed to?
Like (second movie spoilers) but especially with the Amanda reveal in the second movie I'm shocked more people aren't talking about the possibility that he's not actually dead at all!
Because why would Minos kill him? If they want to force people to make escape rooms for them wouldn't Danny be their first choice? He's smart, he loves escape rooms, it would be perfect!
The only real explanation is just that it has to do with personalities and who would be most likely to actually go along with them, but we don't know nearly enough about Danny to think that he wouldn't.
Like?? He kind of seems like the easiest of the first movies cast to manipulate in this situation!! He's the youngest, he's naive, and I don't think he's got the kind of Zoe-backbone that would rather die then spend his time building escape rooms which is what he's passionate about.
If I'm being entirely honest I am not going to believe anyone is dead unless we see the body.
Like, in the first movie who are the only two we don't see the actual body of?
Amanda and Danny.
Amanda is clearly a good person to have on your evil-escape-room-murder-game team as it's shown in the sequel, and like I said DANNY KAHN IS LITERALLY THE PERFECT PERSON TO HAVE ON YOUR TEAM. WHY WOULDN'T THEY KEEP HIM IN THEIR BACK POCKET?
((It also makes sense with the sequel, where we don't see a lot of the bodies. The ONLY person's body we actually see is Theo; Nathan falls into the sand, so does Ben, and we know how that worked out. We kind of hear Brianna and Rachel but we don't SEE them. And the might mean nothing, but if you think about it- it tracks, in a tournament of champions, best of the best, you'd want to hold on to as many as you can.))
I'm veryyyy interested to see if this comes up in the next one, I honestly do not think it will, but I definitely think it's a plot line that could be INCREDIBLY interesting to go down.
