Netflix presents ‘3%’: How far would you go, to get what you want?

Published

on

In a post-apocalyptic future, the remnants of humanity struggle to survive in an on-going battle between the Inland, where poverty and disease and death are rampant, and the Offshore, the last green place purportedly left on Earth that everyone wants to get to. Every person in the Inland after they pass a certain age has the chance to take the Process, the series of tests that allow or deny entry to the Offshore, but only 3% of those people are chosen. This is where our story begins.

In damn near every journey ever, the idea of paradise on Earth comes at a great cost, and ‘3%’ is absolutely no exception. Those who fail the Process are unceremoniously sent back to whatever Inlander hovel they crawled out of, and many of them are bitter and enraged. Some few rebels outright refuse to take the Process and are usually shunned by their fellow Inlanders as weirdos of the strongest caliber; who wouldn’t want to do everything they could to be where there’s fresh food and green growing things? The rebels and castoffs and those who failed to pass the Process, a lot of them have banded together to take down the entire Process and those behind it, and as tattered and disorganized as they are, the rebellion for the Cause is beginning to attract attention. The Process Directors, the guards, and the equivalent of the government that police the Inland, all want the Process to continue without any kind of hitch, and thus the Cause needs to be stamped out, without mercy or hesitation. Already some of the rebels have learned that the best way to take down a regime is from the inside-out, but even if you pass the Process and make it to the Offshore, there’s still that great cost I mentioned to pay, for the privilege. And that’s just season 1!

From Season 1, clear leaders from various sides have emerged. Most of all is Michele (Bianca Comparato), after passing the Process and her dubious rehabilitation at the hands of Ezekiel, finds herself once again reluctantly aiding the Cause against the Process, all in favor of saving her brother Andre (Bruno Fagundes). And as much as Season 2 has plenty of other amazing characters – the incredibly strong and determined survivor Joana (Vaneza Oliveira), the weasel-like Rafael (Rodolfo Valente) who generally always seems out for himself first, ruthless military commander Marcela Alvares (Laila Garin) and her hapless disappointment of a son Marco (Rafael Lozano), wheel-chair-bound Cause enthusiast Fernando (Michel Gomes) and his girlfriend Gloria (Cynthia Senek) – the main story of season two revolves around the Founders of the Offshore in the past, and the foundering relationship between Michele and Andre. Michele’s beloved brother seems to have fully embraced the radical Offshore ideology, while Michele herself determines to fight to find a different way from both the Inland and the Offshore. Coincidentally enough, a secret third option was already in the works, hidden in the mysteries of the Founders that Michele and Andre unearthed, and it will literally change the world!

Seasons 3 and 4 of ‘3%’ have a great deal to do with the major surprises dropped in season 2 and I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Suffice to say, Michele is still leading as best she can, beset on all sides but most directly by Commander Alvares, who is bound and determined to not only undermine Michele’s efforts for her people but to flat have Michele executed for her troubles. The Commander’s son Marco has shown back up at the most inopportune time, though he’s rather preoccupied with confronting his grandfather Leonardo Alvares (Ney Matogrosso) and all his pro-Offshore and pro-Family philosophy. Joana now occupies another leadership position by dint of few remaining options and her strength is indomitable, though in the later seasons of ‘3%’, Joana allows her heart open a few cracks and we delight in a little romance with Natalia (Amanda Magalhaes) for our ebony warrior. Poor misguided Gloria can’t seem to decide which would be the best way to jump, and she and her little transgender friend Ariel (Marina Mathey) make life quite difficult for Michele and her allies. It doesn’t help that Michele’s beloved brother Andre has taken up with the Offshore ways too, and is directly acting against the Shell and Michele herself. The Process continues, by means both fair and foul, but those for and against it are coming to a powder keg of a confrontation, and it comes with deadly repercussions for all!

The show showcases all sorts of desperation – parental, romantic, and most especially, simple continued survival – and the staggering, often violent, lengths people will go to, to get what they want. Covered in excellent performances from people who began as ordinary, and learned they could become extraordinary through their own merits, ‘3%’ boasts four whole seasons of brilliant Brazilian (yes the show is in Portuguese, they have dubbed options or you can enjoy subs) television to binge on Netflix now!

The stage is set for one of the most anticipated cinematic showdowns of 2025 as War 2 unites Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. in a high-octane spy thriller. Releasing in July 2025, this sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War promises to be a game-changer for Indian action cinema, combining heart-stopping stunts, gripping drama, and unparalleled star power.

Hrithik Roshan reprises his iconic role as Kabir, the brilliant and unrelenting intelligence officer. Opposite him, NTR Jr. delivers another powerhouse performance following his success in RRR and the recently released Devara. NTR Jr.’s portrayal in Devara, a gritty and emotionally charged action-drama, has already cemented his status as one of the most versatile stars of Indian cinema. His role in War 2 is rumored to bring an intense, enigmatic energy that will complement and challenge Hrithik’s suave and strategic Kabir.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji (Brahmāstra, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani), War 2 is a pivotal entry in YRF’s expanding spy universe, which includes blockbusters like Pathaan and Tiger Zinda Hai. Mukerji’s direction is set to deliver a perfect blend of jaw-dropping action sequences, emotional depth, and a storyline that interconnects the spy universe’s key players.

Both actors have proven their mettle in action-packed roles, and their pairing is already creating a buzz among fans worldwide. The film’s international locales, intricate espionage plot, and adrenaline-pumping action set pieces ensure that War 2 will be nothing short of a visual spectacle.

Mark your calendars—July 2025 will be an unforgettable month for Indian cinema as War 2 takes audiences on a rollercoaster ride of action, intrigue, and star-studded brilliance.

Solo Leveling: Could We Be Getting Five Seasons and a Live-Action Movie?

Published

on

The anime adaptation of Solo Leveling has already created a massive buzz among fans of the popular webtoon and light novel series. Since its premiere announcement, the hype around the story of Sung Jin-Woo’s rise from the weakest hunter to the world’s mightiest has been palpable. Now, rumors swirling around the anime industry suggest that not only will the series extend over five seasons but it could also lead to a live-action movie adaptation. Could these rumors hold weight? Let’s break it down.

When Solo Leveling was confirmed as an anime adaptation, it was no surprise that expectations skyrocketed. The original story, written by Chugong and illustrated by the late DUBU, captivated millions with its breathtaking battles, compelling character arcs, and immersive world-building. The anime is being handled by A-1 Pictures, known for stunning productions like Sword Art Online and Blue Exorcist, which only adds to the excitement.

Given the vast amount of material in the source material, a five-season roadmap seems plausible. The light novel spans 270 chapters, and the webtoon is equally rich with detailed arcs. A five-season structure would allow the story to breathe, delivering each arc with precision instead of rushing through Sung Jin-Woo’s epic evolution.

The rumor mill isn’t just limited to multiple anime seasons. Whispers of a live-action movie have also captured fans’ imaginations. Hollywood’s growing interest in anime adaptations (One Piece, anyone?) combined with Solo Leveling’s global fanbase makes the possibility of a movie adaptation realistic.

Some speculate that the live-action adaptation would focus on the final arcs of the story or possibly a standalone tale set in the Solo Leveling universe. While anime-to-live-action transitions are often met with skepticism, the success of recent projects (Alita: Battle Angel and Netflix’s One Piece) suggests that studios are finally learning how to respect the source material.

Adapting a visually stunning and fast-paced story like Solo Leveling into live action would be no small feat. The series’ supernatural battles, intricate dungeon designs, and fantastical creatures would require top-tier CGI and production quality to match fan expectations. Casting would also be a critical factor—who could embody Sung Jin-Woo’s quiet intensity or Cha Hae-In’s graceful strength?

Furthermore, the cultural specificity of Solo Leveling, rooted in Korean mythology and history, would need to be handled with care. Fans are understandably wary of “Hollywood-ization,” which has often led to diluted or overly Westernized interpretations of beloved stories.

The possibility of a five-season anime adaptation has been met with widespread excitement. Many fans believe that extending the anime over multiple seasons would allow for a more faithful retelling of the story, capturing every thrilling fight and emotional moment. The potential for a live-action movie, however, has sparked mixed reactions. While some are optimistic about the idea of seeing Jin-Woo in a new medium, others worry about how the story’s essence could translate to live action.

While nothing official has been confirmed, the idea of Solo Leveling receiving five seasons and a live-action movie speaks to the enduring popularity of the franchise. Whether these rumors turn out to be true or simply fan speculation, one thing is certain: Solo Leveling is set to become one of the biggest anime adaptations in recent memory.

As we await more news, one thing’s for sure—this is just the beginning of Solo Leveling’s rise to global dominance. Fans, stay tuned. You won’t want to miss what comes next.

What do you think about the possibility of a live-action Solo Leveling movie? Do you believe the anime can deliver on its five-season promise? Let us know in the comments!
