>Kept winning due to luck and help from others
>crap selfpreservation, sang woo had to kill himself so that all of the deaths in season 1 didnt end up being for nothing and gi-hun could keep the money
>instead of using the money to help other people or families in need, he just hogs it all up and barely used it, making the S1 people's deaths meaningless as the money was given to the biggest dumbass in the world
>enters the second game so he can stop the games, but then proceeded to let the Os kill the Xs then try to fight against the thousands of armed guards while starved, stressed and with barely any bullets or people to fight as well, it goes as well as you'd expect.
>Refused to kill the Os back so he doomed all the remaining Xs to keep playing due to the amount of living people who wanted to keep going.
>Couldve kept player 100 alive until the final round of the final game instead of killing him because then gi-hun and the baby's father could go back home alive, but they kill him, then kills the baby's father without pressing the button first, in the end, Gi-hun says the stupidest thing before killing himself for the baby to win ("we are not horses, we are humans" ok captain obvious, next youll tell me that humans have two legs), and all of that was avoidable if he just went along with player 100 for a little longer.
>couldnt save anybody, couldnt follow 222's promise of taking care of the baby, every guard and all the higher-ups & VIPs got away, how pathetic! At least batman gets to arrest the joker before he escapes within 5 minutes.
>was lucky that the frontman didnt just groom the child into becoming a frontman jr, instead proceeding to give him away and just give the money to gi-hun's daughter.
i'm glad they killed him off for good, because who knows what stupid shit he wouldve done if he went to another country to try to stop the squid games.

lmao, anon you are a godsend, I haven't laughed that hard in weeks, thank you

Also he didn't kill player 100, the baby's father did. And yes, it is funny that his daughter is shown as a horrible human being who will just whore it out with the money in LA. But it helped drive the point across that you have to be a good person even when the entire planet is shitty

They killed him off so that they could replace him with a girl boss female protagonist. One who will actually succeed and take down all the bad guys.

If you watch it now, they stealth edited the scene where there was a standoff between the baby's father and 456 for the father to seem more unhinged. I remember the first time I watched it, it was almost completely different.

Most of these death game protagonists (like Gi-hun and Katniss) are really just some variation of Nanahara from Battle Royale, with very similar story arcs.

Does katniss kill herself too in the story? never bothered with such a stupid "capitalism is good, it is rich White elites who are bad!" angle

My point is, if gi-hun and the baby's father had kept player 100 alive until they got to the final round so that they could kill player 100, they couldve survived to take care of the baby together, now, for all gi-hun knew, he failed at stopping anything and the baby would end up being groomed into becoming a frontman jr after he sacrificed himself, and since player 100 isnt the kind of man willing to give up and kill himself, so gi-hun couldve tricked him by saying "ok ill kms/throw the baby like a soccer ball in the last round and you two can get the prize, i trust that you'll be able to take care of the baby" and then they couldve killed that old guy in the final round, but noo, they wasted their chances to keep fighting on by killing the old man, gi-hun didnt even bother pressing the button before fighting the baby's father so he got himself in a saw movie-styled situation where gi-hun had to die if he wanted the baby to live or have to kill the baby if he wanted to survive, i feel like they couldve gone down a better direction for the final game, maybe they couldve added a 4th tower so that they do actually sacrifice player 100 on round 3 but would still have to fight each other in the final round

I genuinely cannot even comprehend what kind of cattle would watch this show after season 1.

Season 1 started decent but towards the end turned into pure crap. Then the show blew up and Netflix ordered a few more seasons that took years to make because they had to figure out how to fill it with woke shit now that it has a global audience. And sure enough, the season 2 trailer showed that the cast was full of trannies and other freaks, but worst of all it showed that the writers didn't even have enough original ideas to do anything other than "what if we put the main character through squid games again".

And yet despite all that, people chose to watch it anyway? If you were dumb enough to watch past season 1, you are the lowest form of goyslop consumer, your opinion on anything is irrelevant.

This is exactly the kind of retarded response I would expect from a goyslop consumer.

I am not upset at all, I simply look down on you like the cattle you are, and I want you to know it.

The show's message is already pretty diluted, since Gi-hun already proves himself wrong in season 3 with the brutal and selfish decisions he makes in season 3, he sperged out on dae-ho and murdered him instead of someone who actually deserved it, And therefore, the writers had to make dae-ho go apeshit so that way, the normies watching this think "wow, so the MC isnt evil! He's good guy!", like, season 3 was terrible at this shit, not to mention that his message was already pointless as we've already seen multiple other characters do selfless shit throughout the show that its message lands as hard as that one old anti-smoking commercial from like the 90s or some shit where some smoking-related supervillain sells cigarettes to kids only for superman to punch him away and say that smoking is bad and that it will hurt you, like how the trans character didnt HAVE to go back to help the old woman and the pregnant woman towards the exit after finding said exit, but still did it anyways.

What do you expect from a middle aged chronic deadbeat going against the entire system? He was never that smart or truly capable.
