What went wrong?

too much filler. season 3 didn't need to exist. they could've cut a lot and put it all in season 2.

>>212178854 (OP)
same games. boring.

>>212178854 (OP)
Novelty wore off in season 1.

No white people
Went Woke

>>212178879
FUCK YOU I WANTED TO BE FIRST REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

they are milking it for all its worth, I don't want to be watching squid games until 2030, just wrap it up

>does absolutely nothing

>>212178854 (OP)
>I WANNNNT MY PHONECALL AIIEEEEEE
kino

Fuck MG Coin

>>212179284
>t.

What was going on with the VIPs? Were their voices dubbed over in english or was it just awful acting? Something was very off about them and it distracted from the show

>>212178854 (OP)
too high brow, so most of it flew above <130 IQ's heads, as a result they hate it
they should have added shit ton of exposition to over explained every plot point twice, we wouldn't have ton of retards spouting bullshit left and right

>>212178854 (OP)
It started as a critique of South Korean society so a bunch of mega corps stepped in to mute it as much as possible

I cannot believe how shit this season is

S2 and S3 add nothing, the detective plot is filler which goes nowhere, the VIP scenes are exactly the same as the ones from S1, the moral dilemma is the same, what's the point. Too pussy to take risks or actually advance the story, just wanted to remake S1 with some window dressing changes since it was popular.

>>212178854 (OP)

they had never dreamt of doing more than 1 season before it became a hit

>>212179417
Hey you did the meme

It was a show meant for only 1 season with a point that went completely over Netflix's head as they then proceeded to milk it long past it's worth

>>212179578
>pitch stupid gay faggy commie passion project show about how capitalism bad for like 15 years
>finally get picked up
>show becomes hit
>network milks the shit out of you

>>212179578
It could easily have had a second season that was good though, the writers are retarded

Nothing
It's an unsatisfying end to a series which was otherwise entertaining

>>212178854 (OP)
>hey uh that squid game shit is really popular I want an entire franchise movies, toys, im talking sequels spin offs we'll make millions!!!!!
and then it all went to fucking shit we cant have good things it always has to be milked to fuck

Stopped focusing on cool games and cared more about cuck raising girlfriend's boyfriends son.

>>212178960
He has to be the worst fucking detective ever

>>212178960
>and yet monopolizes uncountable amounts of screentime

>>212179915

They basically just remade season 1

>>212178879
>too much filler. season 3 didn't need to exist. they could've cut a lot and put it all in season 2.
fuck i didn't even know this shit had a season 2. it should have been a 1 and done. i'm not even curious to watch the second season, let alone a third.

>>212178960
>lets go to that island
>sits around a map
>wasnt that one uh that one maybe?
>sits around a map
>hey i am not villain captain man maybe if we all just like went in a circle 300x we'll find it cause the currents are dangerous or something
>great idea captain please do that right away
repeat for 900x episodes

>>212179967
She did something. At lot actually.

>>212178960
Would have been cool if he found out some shit about the organization itself beyond the frontman but instead we got 10 hours of staring at islands

>>212178854 (OP)
it should have ended with the first season

>>212179936
he had a cool theme song at least

>>212178960
Haven't watched- does he really not find it? It doesn't go anywhere? lmao

>>212180076
He finds the island, point the gun at his brother then leaves.

>>212180031
not even anything about the aftermath of the finding of the island in the epilouge or nothing
super sucky
also how the hell did he go all the way down those stairs before the bombs?
and no one caught that massive ferry????!which is a good thing plot armor wise i guess for the NK chick

>>212180138
>aftermath of the finding of the island in the epilouge or nothing
It was super rushed. They wasted too much time in the detective plot that led nowhere and the baby shit. The penultimate episode could have ended in the cliff hanger of 333, 456 and the baby on the bridge leading to the last platform and used the last episode for a more fully fleshed-out finale.

>>212180202
>more fully fleshed-out finale.
Actually, scratch that. They would've fucked up. The less I know, the better.

>>212179578
Holy shit this looks bad. Is this what American Squid Game will look like?

>>212180259
>The less I know, the better.
erm okay haha but did you know that like this one alleyway out of thousands in LA that the frontman just so happened to drive by has an ugly chick playing "daji" or whatever korean shit in LA just to really tip off our mouthbreathing viewers!
couldn't have done anything but "daji!" or the point really wouldn't have come through you know?

-villains won
-elites escape unpunished
-main character dies
-most deaths were lame
-WE HAVE TO KILL THE BABY
-STOP, YOU CAN'T KILL THAT BABY, NOT BEFORE I KILL THE BABY
This show really made Koreans look comic book villain level of evil

Oh and also

Better than the Beast Games garbage, but still garbage.

>>212180529
Yeah I’m kinda of shocked at the lack of people pointing this out, that was pretty fucking stupid and made absolutely zero sense. How did nobody at any point stop and tell them that that’s not how drugs work, especially pressed ecstasy pills

>>212180628
Koreans are extremely ignorant of how drugs work

>>212180628
The creator is an old school hard left communist. Shit like drugs gets you purged as being against the people and he’s making that statement

>>212180649
>>212180628
I thought he was just losing his mind. You know, all the stress and insanity of being stuck in a death game. Guilt over not helping her. But I know they were going for the withdrawals... Why? Even Nam-su was lucid when being shown the cross.

>>212180649
>be korea

>>212181653
Yes, being a drugie is a huge retard alert. Good thing it's usually a self-correcting issue.

>>212178854 (OP)
Did they switch writers or something? S1 feels like a completely different show

>>212180529
Hate that this loser managed to survived that long

>>212179201
Im so glad him and head of the body guard survived the events.

>>212178854 (OP)
>What went wrong?

>>212181854
yeah they were cool
shame they're actually like awful people and loan sharks but oh well no one is perfect

se-mi?
more like hard-on!

>>212181783
It really doesn't, even the cringe vips from s1 came back

all the characters who were useless wimps died stayed wimps
all the characters who were assholes stayed assholes
nobody changed
just like S2-3 of Squid Game didn't change

>>212181937
you can't change human nature

they killed off the best character too early

>>212181783
Season 1 was meticulously made over years as a passion project
Season 2 and 3 were rushed cash grabs just ticking off boxes

>>212181954
Would Thanos not being a hallucination and actually showing back up in the final game hanging on the ledge have been enough to save s3?

>>212178854 (OP)
Beast games did it better

I’m calling it, S3 Squid Game defenders are gonna be like BvS Snyder defenders. They’ll write endless essays convincing themselves it was actually brilliant, deep, thought-provoking cinema to distract themselves from the fact it takes five sentences max to mock how stupid it is.

Bringing back old characters was a waste. It should have been just a new season with a new cast. Gihun was just annoying and a mopey bitch, a delusional retard without a plan. His presence just fucked up the entire thing.
They brought back the detective and he had nothing to do. The guy fucked around for two seasons in the sea and it went nowhere.
The showrunners are too comfortable with killing people so everyone interesting just gets killed off. Because Gihun is the main character he gets to live until the end so everyone else gets killed off. By the end the only character that was interesting was the cryptobro.
Adding a tranny character and then circlejerking about how he is a pretty lady with female pronouns was retarded.

>>212181993
Also instead of Asians defending an American thing it’ll be Americans defending an Asian thing

>>212182012
>so everyone interesting just gets killed off.
to be fair it's squid game, so literally almost everyone dies

>>212181983
wouldn't have saved the season but it would have made the final game much more entertaining
all the finalists except for 100 were boring literal whos, just imagine if thanos was there, cracking jokes, standing up for minsu in a last moment act of redemption, holy kino

Season 2 should have just been a whole new cast except for Front Man, not having a clear lead protagonist to further the "anyone can die" suspense. If Gi-hun appeared, it should have only been at the end as a cameo where he links up with the survivor(s) of Season 2 and reveals his mad lad plan to willingly enter to shut it down from within in Season 3.

Just imagine how horrendous squid game america is gonna be

>>212182012
>By the end the only character that was interesting was the cryptobro.
even that statement is a stretch

>>212182080
If Fincher is actually involved there is a non zero chance it ends up being like the girl with the dragon tattoo where the american version is a distinct but respectable in its own right interpretation. It's really damn close to zero though.

>>212178879
They could have easily cut the voting. We didn't need to see it like five different times

Did they ever explain where that baby came from? Did it sign itself up or did it just come to the island by accident?

>>212182155
baitu postu desu

>>212182155
it came out of 222's vagina....we saw it happen...

>>212182040
Only one person survives in the end because the script says so, not because the game is designed to be that way.
Characters can be kept alive longer and they can be allowed to survive. If you kill every character it kills any tension and there is no reason to keep watching when all the characters you were interested in died already.

>>212182155
the stork dropped it on the island by mistake

>>212182155
456 never spent any of his killstreak abilities from the last season when he was in the game so he called in a care package which contained a baby. Bad RNG moment.

>>212182186
we all die

>>212178854 (OP)
the original project was a movie and it shows. season 1 really feels like a padded overlong movie. same goes with many other overhyped now memoryholed netflix slop like queen's gambit.

>>212182243
lawl

we got this game out of S2 though

The Baby entering the game was a "Jump the Shark" moment

>>212180529
Imagine you are about to die and the last people you get to reminiscence about are bunch of faggots who annoyed you in the game and some slut you only knew for three days.

>>212178960

>>212182080
I hope the VIPs still speak in that overly enunciated dubbed voice despite everyone being presumably American.

>>212179401
it was dubbed
i can tell because the asian sounded natural when she spoke chinese
very odd decision to do it that way

S1 had soul and was clearly a passion project satirizing society from a Korean point of view. S2 and 3 had no soul and was clearly the Korean point of view saying "yeah ok I guess I'll make more if Americans want to give me money for it"

rest in peace, sweet prince
play your one last game with the rest of the angels once you get past the pearly gates

stopped watching this dogshit show when cate blanchett showed up
turned it off right there

>>212182616
they weren't dubbed
they spoke the lines themselves during filming
the lines, performances, and audio just sucked

I've rarely seen 4chan so much into NPC opinions and bandwagonning. What happened? Is it another massive influx of redditors or just summer bringing it's usual tons of underage brainlets?

>>212182807
my opinions are based and freethinking
your opinions are NPC and reddit

>>212178898
Honestly this. People hate chinks

>>212182778
no shit, that was the end of the show you fucking retard

It would've been better to have 456 authorize the ambush on the O's, as a way to make him more morally complex than "I just want all of this to stop but like not in that way" and then there could've been a lot more interesting branching plots, maybe some surviving O's are still resentful and try to go after the other survivors while the whole shadow war against the elites that run the game is ongoing, maybe the front man continues to play his role as 001 even in the outside world in order to keep tabs and cause more misdirection, force the survivors into conflict with each other, maybe some of them snap and become violent from what they've seen and still haven't fully processed, there's a lot of ways to make it a more complex and interesting narrative than what we got. The investigation aspect had a lot of potential that was entirely wasted and the baby bit felt kind of cheap, along with having just one winner again.

>>212182846
I can't tell if this is bait or if it genuinely flew over your head

what are other good k-dramas on netflix

Did they ever explain why that woman was really strong and was able to kill men with her bare hands to protect the old woman and the pragernernt lady?

>>212182898
The Glory
Kingdom
The Silent Sea
Sweet Home
The Frog

and My Mister if it's still on Netflix (possibly got migrated to Amazon idk)

>>212183025

>>212178960
>does nothing
>wins
whats this strategy called?

>>212182898
I think the closest thing to squid game in terms of drama suspense and general premise is Alice in Borderland
It's jdrama not kdrama tho

https://youtu.be/fAADWfJO2qM

>>212182295
A shame that game was fast-forwarded. Would've at least liked to see Thanos and his team going through the ordeal. The interactions among Thanos, Nam-Guy, and Min-Su would've been hilarious.

>>212183143
ok ty

>>212183143
It's also actually good

>>212182295
Realistically speaking this game would've had a 90% death rate.
Biggest suspension of disbelief moment in the entire show lmfao

>>212183328
yeah picrel is is bordeline impossible while being under giga stress

>>212179401
feels like the voices were designed to cater to how the Koreans envision stereotypical American dialogue.

>>212181983
Only if he reappeared in his final forms with (purple) angel wings.

>>212181993
I haven't seen a single S3 defender.

Too many "fuck it, just kill each other" team games

Season 1 had Red Light Green Light, Dalgona, and (whilst heavily RNG dependent and got fucked around with too much by the VIPs going full retard) the glass bridge were all ones that can be beaten by one person just staying calm and figuring it out and have a chance for 100% completion rate. And the skill ceiling is low enough for all of them, even Dalgona, that anyone could beat it. The other games ended up being ones that cruelly see 50% of the people get eliminated, sure. But Marbles and Squid Game were 1v1s, so you were still in charge of your own fate by outplaying an opponent. Tug of War was the only one where you could get fucked over by getting stuck with shitters, but it even shows that you can outplay people if you get the fundamentals right and a strong anchor.

But Season 2+3 was just loaded with games designed to whittle people down fast and have your fate completely out of your own hands, with added little bits of bullshit like "ah, ah, ah, it doesn't count if you don't press the button lol" or skill games so high level that most people wouldn't even be able to do them even without a gun pointing in their back. It takes away any interesting individual dynamics and mad lad moves, and just results in a lot of people getting shanked for shock value or someone dying because they got pushed over by some asshole.

>>212182616
She sounds like the girl on Onlyfans I jack off too. That stereotypical American voice >>212183436

>>212178960
>where is the Island?? they hide so damn well
just look for the giant Oceanliner tanker where the 100 vans and trucks are parked on

>>212183657
despite these "fuck it" games, in S2 and S3 not a single character actually, really wanted to win. maybe 333 at the end. He showed some level of aggressiveness and desperation.
Not even player 100 really showed any will in the end. They were all anxious and tired and just wanted to get over it.

Pic related from S1 would unironically bitchslap every single on in the last game and win easily. Just because he actually wants it

>You criticize capitalism, yet you regurgitate your creation into seasonal slops. I am very communist.

>>212183834
>WELCOME TO KOREA

>>212183834
This is not a major plot point at all, but I find it hard to believe that the majority of people wouldn't want to vote for the games to end as soon as they saw bodies falling on the floor, and increasingly so after they had already made some money. I've seen people quit jeopardy games after they won like 10k over the risk of losing that 10k, imagine adding the risk of losing your actual life.

>>212180649
thats what i thought awell lol

>>212183928
yea but humans lé evil and greed and whatever

this is actually a poignant point, i was expecting seong or 333 to get the babykillers to turn on 100 because 100s debt would not have been covered by their compromise unless someone in their squad died, but having watched the show, i think he was really ready to break even.

>>212180529
Not everyone is as cool as Thanos and can do hard drugs without getting withdrawals.

>>212184040
you don't win bets against deceased men.
gi-hun learned that he was going to have to work a fuckton harder to convince anyone of the good in people. not just show up when invited. that was S1's ending.

>>212182386
only someone as pathetic as him would get irrevocably hooked on drugs after 2 hits. a sickening sad sack from start to end

>>212184377
And then he failed.
Ok, maybe he won over Front Man a little. Which means the guy perhaps most deserving of death in the show was the one who gets away with it and will at best MAYBE try and repeat the hopeless cycle by trying to fuck with Cate Blanchett's Wild Ride.

>>212182793
not a chance. it was dubbed. the actors on screen would say something in a large, openmouthed way and the audio would be lisping, muttering lips-mostly-closed speech at times

can't wait to see how worse the American version will be

2 and 3 were pure filler seasons. Their entire purpose is to try and keep interest alive for Squid Game while Americans are filming their own version.
These two seasons were not supposed to be good, it's a transfer of the IP. They just kill off all the characters that won't be in the American show and wrap it up to not use the same locations. Next season will be set in America with a different team and the boss will make a cameo, probably will get killed. They main reason they kept Hwang is because he is the only character who speaks English.

>>212184826
I think you nailed it. That's exactly it. Netflix has been wanting this since S1 and already tested the waters with that shitty Squid Game reality show. The daughter may make an appearance too.

Despite how dark the show wants itself to be, it could have been way darker. In real life I can see a lot more bullying, fights and assassinations, like a prison. Speaking of which, definitely rape.

The objective of the game is to entertain the elites. If you try to pull some retarded bullshit like this that lets everyone survive, you'll just get shot

This is why I was rooting for MG coin. The only character who was willing to do anything to be the last person standing and get all of the money.

And yes the VIPs can do some bullshit like they did with turning off the lights, but that was always bullshit which never made sense in the context of "ruining the VIPs fun"
>the VIPs are there to make bets
>anyone who bet on the front 12 are already out of the running fair and square
>anyone who bet on anyone behind the glassmaker have no reason to complain or interfere
>anyone who bet on him specifically will only get pissed off and refuse to pump any more money into the game after being cheated out of a victory for backing the "right horse"
There was zero reason to turn the lights off other than to kill off one more contestant before the finale for plot reasons because he wasn't a main character

>>212183657
Mingle was cool. The pentathlon was just a bunch of minigames. Hide and Seek was really uncreative, yeah. No different from the night riots. Jump rope was cool. A slightly less cooler version of the glass bridge. And while Sky Squid Game does ultimately boil down to "let's just kill each other", I like how it's a lot more cerebral than that, since you have to be very careful of who exactly you eliminate and when. So Hide and Seek is really the only offender

>>212184554
yeah, but that doesn't help with his main goal in life

>>212178887
this. holy shit did they drop the ball.
the dumb gooks think people actually care about these gook characters and their story and that people werent watching to see gook rats dying in creative death traps.

>>212185171
Are you forgetting how, in that very game, the elites literally broke the rules and turned the lights off because they got bored of the glassmaker's lifehack? They would gun you down without hesitation if you "cheated" and ruined their fun

>>212185597
whats funny is these dumb gooks put in a scene where a bunch of "white men" are the elites who are responsible for all this.
when in reality their own psychotic corrupt gook government is perfectly capable of creating these sorts of events.

Glass Bridge was the worst game of S1. Didn't even fit with the theme

>>212185826
remember that whole "crushing" incident that happened in SK awhile back, few people were discussing it as it it was done intentionally. to kill off a bunch of youth in a sacrifice.
if you read about how it happened, it was a "technological error" that caused people to navigate poorly and ended up in tens of people being crushed to death in alleyways crammed in like sardines.

>>212185826
There's a difference between playing dirty and ruining the fun by making everyone survive retard

>>212185826
All of the other things you described are negligible to the VIPs' entertainment, since they only apply to one player. Yeah, the gangster guy cheated on the cookie game with his lighter. So what? It's just one guy among hundreds. The glassmaker's trick completely won the game for all remaining players. Also, the VIPs only show up to the games in-person for the last two games (which is admittedly dumb), so they couldn't have protested the previous things anyways
>Didn't even fit with the theme
The theme is that we're at the mercy of the elite's whims and they can break/change the rules anytime they want

>MCs arc ends during the season 2 finale, he spends the entirety of season 3 chained to a bed, mute, powerless, and then kills himself

The only victory seems that Front Man had his faith in humanity restored by Gi-Hun, and will probably try and take the games down. Wonder if we'll get a Front Man prequel or sequel. He'll probably make a cameo or two in the American version.

>>212178960
>fucks around on a boat for two seasons

>brother barely acknowledges his presence

pointless character. everything that went down would have gone the exact same way it did if he didn't exist. the whole searching for the island story felt like padding. he should've been scrapped and replaced entirely with his criminal friend because he was at least likeable and didn't exist just to look mildly annoyed and achieve nothing.

>>212185948
It didn't fit thematically in terms of appearance or the children's playground game thing. It's at best a game of "stepping stones" but it's only that in the loose attempt to bridge a connection.
You know the entire game is bullshit because even 001 couldn't figure out a way to get out of it unscathed, so wrote himself out before it.

>>212186195
>everything that went down would have gone the exact same way it did if he didn't exist
Well, except the whole fucking island blowing up because they finally found them. But yeah that's just a minor detail kek
(I do agree his plotline was shit btw)

>>212180529
Same thing will happen to you. Don't use drugs, and report people that do.

He's waiting for us in the Thanos world.

>Blatantly rip off Japanese media cause Korean show, who cares

>Panic because you can't so openly rip shit off now with the whole world watching
>Make shit
Yup

>>212181880
>Aaah, please don't slap me~
>Oh no I lost, seems I get slapped again
>How about we up the ante? Each time I lose you will fart on my face~
But jokes aside, no way a big hum like that would take a slapping from a woman. He would beat and rob her.

>>212186246
I think a small scene with the Front Man having a phone call with one of his underlings or the VIPs saying "yeah, we had to destroy the island and we don't have the funds to rebuild. The Korean Squid Game is indefinitely cancelled" would've gone a long way of making SOMETHING out of the detective subplot. Like, they may not have arrested anyone but at least they took down the games (in Korea)

Just wait for the American version to ruin it even more, with cameos like Mr Beast, the "definitely not Elon Musk" villain, the contestant trying to escape ICE, the girlboss main character, oh, and add Pedro Pascal as a cop.

>>212182295
Worst game of the season, 2bh.

>>212186312
>rules of the game are explained
>keeps with it knowing that when he wins he'll get a chance to slap back

>>212181954
Agreed. His companion should have died instead. The "quality" of season 2 went down a bit when Thanos died. He made his scenes fun and interesting.

>>212181954
Didn't Koreans hate his performance?
I remember reading some article that people over there thought his acting was "embarrassing" and "tryhard"

How woke and shit is the American version going to be?
>MAGA
>Trump
>ICE
>BLM
>White privilege
>Main protagonist is definitely going to be black. Maybe a woman
>A lot of racist white players
>All VIPs will be white and cruel

American Squid Game is literally just Purge + Saw

A lot of people say the jump rope game was easy. It looks easy, but when you actually do it you'll get scared as fuck. There's no room for error. If you time the jump wrong or land badly, you're fucked. You risk getting stuck between players and must jump many times. The hard part is timing the jump across the gap. A lot of people are too fat, too old, or have bad knees to jump.

>>212186934
why are you carrying so much water for it, its okay for them to have made a lazy, shitty game. you can admit that. not everything 4d chess. they just made this game because "ahh they can fall". much drama.

very polite of the day old baby to sleep through the entire night without crying. realistically they would have mob killed that baby before jump rope because no one would be able to sleep

>>212186934
Those people complaining are just retards who expect Saw trap-tier spectacle from the traps and get bored by anything less. They're just here for the goreslop. I mean, the fucking steel beam in Kaiji is infinitely more intense than any game from Squid Game, and it's literally just balancing across a steel beam. No jumping needed

>>212187037

>>212182739
Based.

>>212187302
The only based things he's done was killing shaman lady, otherwise he was a pathetic sniveling cunt

>>212187292
This is such a stupid fucking response. I'm not questioning the in-universe actions of the character. I'm questioning the WRITERS for CHOOSING to waste my time with scenes that are meaningless. The writer has omnipotent control over what happens and why, and he chose to waste my time with redundant scenes of the archives getting destroyed twice. What an asshole

>>212187192
im not seething, i think its funny that a bunch of gooks are paying money to "creators" for milking the flavor of the month.

>>212183657
Mingle was the best game of the entire show, straight up diabolical. Sky Squid Game is good in design, although it boils down to kill one person in each round the design of the arena makes it extremely easy for the person getting ganged up to take any aggressor down with them, it's just 456 being such an awful poorly written character that makes the game so frustrating to watch. Jump Rope was fun, rest of season 2's games were absolute dog shit.

>>212187368
It was supposed to depict her hopelessness and "burn it all down and kms" mentality retard, until she saw gi hun save the baby and decided to keep living

>>212187378
the thanos character for example, literally the only memorable one. and only because hes literally the only character that has a personality who isnt just a robotic bug drone.
and even though he has a personality, hes still a total faggot gigger (gook nigger) who you wouldnt be friends with, but atleast he has presence on the screen.

>We are humans, not horses!
>*splat*

Humans are what?

>>212187368
you're sperging out only because the two scenes end up with the same result even though they serve difference purposes in the narrative. you've wasted my time now

>>212185865
Didn't they direct crowds through those alleyways by spreading a bullshit rumor on social media about an American celebrity being there? The alleyway had spooky shit too like a Grim Reaper graffiti'd on the wall pointing to where the crush occurs Unsurprising for a mass casualty event to caused by the cabal.

You actually have a lot of time before the rope comes back for another loop but I bet it would be a lot more nerve wracking to actually do in person rather than watching passively on your screen. I bet that bridge being so narrow would impact your nerves way more than we'd think.

humans are... composed of only two genders

>>212187498
Humans are... very fragile and die when they fall off a big pillar!

>>212187503
I'm sperging out because it's a small symptom of a wider problem of the show wasting my time in general. The detective subplot is the ultimate example. Literally 40% of the runtime was an absolute waste. I guess it's the result of padding one season's worth of material out to two

>>212187585
this isnt really narrow to me.
it's pretty easy to jump up and hit the same spot over and over again. try it.

>>212187498
Humans aCK................

>>212187638
What if you mistime your jump by one millisecond and your big toe gets clipped by the rope though?

>>212187498

>>212187037
I mean, there is no deeper meaning to Squid Games. Everything outside of the games is boring as hell. The boat subplot, organ harvesting, watching a tedious thirty minute voting scene six or seven times in a row, this is what passes for "entertainment"? The games are the only thing people care about, trying to act like there's any more substance to this show aside from the death games is being a cringy pseud. And season 2 / 3 couldn't even get the death games right, aside from Mingle and Jump Rope, they were pure trash. The games in season 1 were horrible too, zoomers gave it a pass because for a lot of them Squid Game was their first exposure to this death game genre.

He's a honest man, unlike 456 who is dishonest and unwarrantedly self-righteous.

>>212187171
It was pretty obvious the most "moral" characters would die to protect her or the baby. In SK, it's taboo to show a pregnant lady die on screen, so it was obvious the baby was going to survive

No offense to the baby but it was really fucking annoying.

>>212187688
The emotional character scenes in season 1 episode 6 are literally half the reason anyone talks about Squid Game in the first place. Saying people only care about the games is just blatant out-of-touch cope

I don't get why Fincher wants to do such slop.

Watch picrelated, it's like the final sky squid game except 10 times more kino. Squid game even copies some plot points from it

If you wanna get spoilered it has a nice twist ending where it's just a guy, a pregnant woman and a little girl left and the guy convinces the girl that he'll commit suicide with her to save the pregnant lady, but he votes for the mom last half second while the girl steps out of the circle killing herself, revealing that the guy is actually a super calculating social manipulator. Yet the game continues making the guy almost lose all hope until he realizes the baby in the womb still counts as a player, making him promptly kill it and "win" the game

>all the brainlets seething
>all the brainlets who just don't get it
I am so happy the show didn't pander to stupid people. The ending was perfect. Unintelligent people will never get it.

>>212187750
Babies are such a lame, weak, lazy plot device. Whenever you have a helpless child character the protagonist needs to protect (ex. Ellie, Clementine, Carl, the kid from The Road), it's vital to make them a likeable character so you actually care for their safety beyond the basic human instinct of "must protect kid". But you can't do that when it's just a stupid fucking baby. Literally just a MacGuffin that cries

>>212184686
>the guy with the black mask was a "good" guy who wanted a fair game and was only human there in charge

Literally puts a literal newborn baby as a participant because "it would be more fun" when he was all about "people are only here by their own will so they chose to die"

>>212187785
>The emotional character scenes in season 1 episode 6
Was that the gay ass marble game? Yeah, that game was boring. Zoomers are easily manipulated though, got easily attached to trash characters.
>literally half the reason anyone talks about Squid Game in the first place. Saying people only care about the games is just blatant out-of-touch cope
Yet you just said the only reason people talk about Squid Game is because of the marble game? You just highlighted the marble game as the only reason people talk about Squid Game...then you proceed to say people don't only care about the games...

>Hey, we'll each get 5.6b if we quit now
>Yeah okay that seems fine, let's all quit and go home
>Attention everyone, this baby is in the game, you will now each get 4.9b
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Was this a realistic reaction?

>>212178960
>this plot
>the russia sideplot in Stranger Things

>>212186934
i genuinely think my chances in the jump rope game would be better than my chances in red light green light. maybe the AC is just rape at the place im renting rn but in the tense parts of this show i think i was like shivering enough that id have tripped the motion detector.

>>212187853
Beyond retarded

>>212186992
to be fair, while it is lazy and mid, i still have more respect for the jump rope game than i do for the glass panels. the glass panels literally required a glassmaker fluke forr the games to not have ended with everyone dying then and there

>>212187851
>People only care about the games, no one cares about the characters!
>Yes they do
>Y-Yeah, well, zoomers are easily manipulated into getting attached to trash characters!
lol

The marble game wouldn't have worked if audiences weren't attached to the characters

>all the low-IQ wannabe critics desperately trying to scrutinize every little story detail they can

the only reason to even watch Squid Games at all was to watch the crazy games and people getting killed.
>99% of the show is people talking some completely meaningless retarded bullshit
you can skip everything that isnt a "game scene" and you will lose nothing of value to the story.
which means you can ignore 90+% of the fucking show.

>>212188003
There's smart critique and there's idiots like you desperately appealing for validation.

Squid Game is a fun ride but stupid ppl like you are scrutinizing it as if it's worth it. You're a total loser.

Why do they feel the need to state the fucking obvious over and over? Is it a korean thing or what?

>>212187948
All of the characters in this show are garbage. The "villainous" contestants are the only good ones because they're the only characters with any personality or screen presence, as cartoonishly evil as they can be.

Nah, that line of thinking only applies to low IQ audiences like yourself.

>>212188135
>I assumed they did that just for children.
That's apart of it in regards to shonen, but ultimately it's because Asians are such autistic perfectionists that they NEED to make certain EVERYONE understands EVERYTHING at ALL times. The concept of a theoretical audience member being lost for a single second agonizes the Asian writer so much he'll double the length of his script just to reiterate every single plot-point. It's just one of those quirks you have to ignore if you want to try and enjoy Asian media

There's no way this guy isn't a shill, holy shit.

>>212188125
I never suggested anyone "turn off their brain", my illiterate, unintelligent friend.

I am simply laughing at stupid people like you aggressively scrutinizing a show like Squid Game. An idiot like yourself wouldn't even write something 1/10th as entertaining.

>>212188034
By voting to kill the pregnant woman, he's already decided it's ok to kill the baby to win. By then going "by the way, the baby is still alive and also competing lol", it's just wasted time as the guy has already passed the point of morality killing both her and the child, and so is obviously just going to vote for the same choice again unopposed. Zero tension. This is just lazy edgy writing to add another couple of minutes to the runtime.

>>212188356

>>212184971
I think American Squid Game might improve the show by adding shock collars so the people don't kill each other anymore, it adds tension I guess but I dunno it feels unearned when you get a prison riot and 30 people die, I want all the deaths to be within the game or outside the game but there should be a safe space to allow things like rapes and fights and rivalries too just no more riots imho.

>>212188323
Where did I tell you to write your own show, my illiterate 60-IQ friend? If anything, you absolutely shouldn't write anything, because it would be boring and embarrassingly terrible. Wannabe critics like you are some of the mist boring, uncreative, self-indulgent losers on the planet. You are physically incapable of creating anything good, so you cope by trying to drag other creative works down on the internet like the cretinous little loser you are :)

>>212188066
>Squid Game is a fun ride
no, it's not. that's the problem, retard.
there's not nearly enough fun. it's trying way too hard to give a political message. it would've been 100x more effective if they switched it up. making it 75% fun and 25% moral messaging. you'd have people dressing up in the costumes right now. everyone would watch it.

>>212181880
Why would they play the same type of game? I am pretty sure there are games American children played that would be far more recognizable to the public.

And also actual spinoff would have made more sense instead of the second season we got. Games set in Europe or America would have printed them money because the showrunners could have used whatever meme characters they wanted to - from clever leftoids to dumb and racists rightoids, feminists, yellow man bad and south Africa chud mad.

The twist wasn't him killing the baby, retard, that was just a tiny cool moment on top which took like 2 minutes of runtime. It was just funny seeing him despair after doing all that manipulative shit. What makes the movie kino is the slow twist of realizing he's not just an average nice guy but a manipulative fuck

No see here's the thing: idiots like you can't see the fun side because you're busy craving for validation and attempting to scrutinize every little thing you don't like.

Because you're a complete moron, you are naturally too stupid to develop any kind of self-awareness. You just join the chorus of fellow wannabe critic sheep like yourself aggressively scrutinizing a show that is hardly worthy if extensive analysis.

You're a total loser. No need to stay in denial :)

they go against the "fun" narrative you're trying to portray. this is a major plot point of the story. and i heard theres not even a good payoff for him at the end of season 3, so they blueballed you too.
wheres the fun, anon?

You will always be a complete idiot. You will never possess a modicum of self-awareness :)

Best that stupid people like yourself avoid the whole wannabe critic path. You just don't have the brains.

you dont get withdrawls but if what he did was MDMA thats basically the same level of dopamine you'd get from heroin. so your dopamine receptors are completely fried afterwards for awhile. you are depressed because all your happiness has been depleted. you think the drug is the only way to get it back, there wouldnt be physical withdrawal for MDMA like there is with heroin i don't think. but you would want more of it because it has the chemical your brain isnt producing for awhile after you first take it.
