in reply to @Thetheringpod's post:
is there any link y'all have on the Ring Infection/Infestation? I know you said there wasn't much info to begin with, but any information you could provide on it would be awesome!
Sure. Like we said we don’t have much but here’s a news article describing them and some store listings. The info we gleaned was just through Google Translate.

Also ! I was thinking about how the hidden visuals in the cursed music video reminds me a lot of what they did in Rings (2017). I guess it's mostly just some way to make the cursed video a little more interesting after so many iterations, especially by 2017 lmao
I really liked how the first half of Rings (2017) had this whole subculture that was more about the tape itself and circulating it, quite like Rings (2005), rather than just being further about Samara, which the second half fell back into.
Yes!! I have such a guilty pleasure to Rings (2005) so I was so happy that Rings (2017) reintroduced that cult-like addiction that people have to the ring-- especially since The Ring Two kinda ignored that whole thing.
I love Ring 0 for the exact reason that we get to see Sadako and know her backstory a little more, but I so hate the Samara, or I guess mostly Evelyn, backstory in Rings (2017). It just felt unnecessary. Like, I didn't really need a reason as to why Samara was the way that she was. And also Evelyn looks so different from how she looks in The Ring Two, which is a personal peeve lol
With Sadako, we know her mother also had psychic-like powers and such, and it's well explained how and why Sadako is the way that she is. But for Samara, it's like they couldn't make it just "she has powers!" "she's evil or whatever!" It had to be some damning, ungodly, heinous acts from a man of the cloth to justify why Samara is Samara? Idk. I know it goes with the theme of abuse, that both iterations have, but it just felt cheap. Something you would find in the Conjuring series, but not something I necessarily wanted from the Ring
