Was he really going to kill his own baby? Or was he just bluffing?

When his gf broke things off at the end he shouldn't even care, that's basically not even your child anymore.

The implication is that he's utterly selfish and would choose himself over the child if it came down to it. Though I hate that show once again casts a character in a negative light for having the audacity to think rationally and make tough choices in a life or death situation. After all, it was his turn that gave Gi-Hun and a baby the fighting chance. Meanwhile, Gi-Hun has been insufferable ass these two seasons and even his sacrifice is tainted by the fact it only happened because he refused to get off his high horse and accept compromises that would have guaranteed the safety of not only himself but the child as well. The show draws a false equivalence between Gi-Hun and the Front Man, when Gi-Hun would be saving a child rather than just himself, and even that is obviously more justified than his murder of a man as a scapegoat for his getting his allies slaughtered. And he chooses to go out there with the baby and hopes for some bullshit.

Seriously, would Gi-Hun behave the same way if it were literally his daughter's fate on the line and not some plot device baby? That lack of anything in his own life to fight for kept him from feeling like a actual person anymore.

He's been lying through his teeth throughout the whole season about everything he says. When he said he was going to do it, he really couldn't.

Why did they use CGI for the baby? Does Korea not allow baby actors?
Every shot with it was your typical disconnected close-up baby shot anyway, it's not like they inserted it into action scenes.

Why did Gi-hun turned into an absolute mute in S3?

Why was he fine with murdering the fake marine, but didn't accept the literal-who lunchbox to save him, the baby and MG Coin? How dumb must you be at this point after this many deaths.

Why did he not push the button during the final scuffle? There was even an extra announcement from the intercom saying 'hey push button to start game'. Gi-hun's death was so unnecessary that I felt absolutely nothing from it when it happened. Just frustration, because the plot simply demanded it to happen, as with so many other things.

And why the everloving fuck was marine brother dude so happy go lucky at the end? He accomplished literally NOTHING at the end. Why did he act like he set out to do what he wanted to?

Still no clear explanation why Front Man became Front Man.

Such a shit season, man. Episode 2 was kinda good though.

His character got annoyingly predictable about the "hurr I won't compromise and always do the opposite of what everyone wants me to because of muh morals" even when it doesn't line up with his previous actions.

He offered his ex to carry her over the bridge despite it looking extremely bleak and was willing to do anything to make sure they got out. Does it sound like he would readily kill his own kid?

Nah this bit was good. It was refreshing to have the stakes high enough that you still knew characters weren't going to just plotarmour to the final game. It was neat ending up with a group of literal whos. In fact you have to give them credit for doing this to an extent throughout all 3 seasons, no one except for Gi-Hun and Front Man feel actually safe.

Why are Korean movies so consistently tasteless and grotesque? Is it because their society is just ugly people dolled up in plastic surgery running around trying to fuck each other over? I guess I'd make objectively cruel and nihilistic art if that was my existence too. What a dump of a country.

My favourite part was when Park-Seong Moon rescued the baby from Briefcase Man and set the self destruct sequence for the island and then Sun-Boong Cho realised the real Squid Game was actually a simulation and not part of the government experiments at all.

He was absolutely going to kill his own baby.
But the ending was so badly done with nobody pressing the button to start the third game that it was ridiculous anyway. The whole "you have to press the button was completely contrived in order to engineer that specific ending. That's not good storytelling.

He had also led a bunch of people to their deaths, and this is after having sacrificed a bunch of them in order to trick the guards. The people in power won and were always going to win. Also don't think he gave a shit about money at that point.

>Button
Everyone seems to have been filtered on this. It makes perfect sense why the button wasn't pressed.

Bridge
>Crypto gambits with Gi that he won't let him cross the bridge and only the baby can come over
>Gi is convinced Crypto will kill the baby in the final round if he agrees
>Crypto is convinced Gi is lying and won't sacrifice himself for the baby and him in the final round
>Gi pretends to agree and gets across the bridge
>Button hasn't appeared

Circle pillar
>Gi and Crypto fight
>Button appears when they're in a grapple
>Both fall overby the edge and lose their weapons
>Gi is closer to the knife and Crypto grabs the baby

This is the only point where the button could've potentially been pressed. And it's in neither player's interest to do so, given the situation.
For Crypto, as he's convinced Gi won't sacrifice himself, him pressing the button would mean he'd be dead. Gi would immediately stab him to death. His only leverage is the baby to stop Gi from killing him.
For Gi, there is a very high chance Crypto isn't bluffing. if he presses the button, Crypto could just drop the baby.
They break this stalemate by effectively doing a 1v1. But neither are in a position to press the button safely. Crypto is miles away from it. And Gi has basically window to push the button between the baby being safe and Crypto lunging at him with the knife.

The only realy BS I would say is that the button took longer to come out. If it came out immediatelty after the bridge retracted, Gi could've pressed it.

Nah, the whole final game played out in a ridiculously contrived manner with all of the bad guys dying on the middle platform and nobody pressing the button until there was only the MC and the baby left. The guy they crippled throwing himself off because he didn't want to be the way they won the game? C'mon, that was so telegraphed that it was ridiculous.
They obviously just wanted the story to be over with so they could make a US version of the show.

The button delay I'd agree was contrived. But the fight and final baby standoff was reasonable. Crypto was unhinged at this point and Gi can't just teleport to the button to press it.
As for lunchbox, he had his leg snapped and was barely conscious, I'd be shocked he was still in a state to off himself. Though I will agree it was stupid how slow they were to react. Same with Gi just standing like a lemming when the dude in jump rope started pushing people off.
I'm sure this was all done to get it down to just Gi and the baby, but it was fairly beleivable.

I was disappointed this season was just a continuation of the games from season 2. I assume people would complain about "no gaemz" if they didn't, but I was hoping they would do something different with the story, kind of like how they followed the recruiter guy in the first episode of last season.

part of me doesn't mind the finalists as much as it's a fairly bleak but refreshing portrayal of the final round of the death games.
In S1, we had a "noble duel" between the hero and his friend turned enemy. Now, the last ones alive are largely complete and utter scum who had happily given in to barbarism to win it all. And them having no connection to the MC added to his isolation.
The final game was essentially the Front Man's final challenge to MC's morals. he was shown the absolute worst of humanity on the platforms and this time. And they were people he had no connection to. The Front Man wanted him to give in, kill them and win.

But the main supporting characters were definitely rushed out of the way in the games.

Yeah I know, I guess I was just hoping they saw an opportunity to milk and split it because there was a tonal/narrative shift for the last 6 episodes rather than milking and splitting for the sole purpose of milking and splitting.
