Discussion: Season 3, Episode 6 Join the Discussion
1536Finally, my daughter was shown. For once, she waited. If there is a Korean season 4, I would hire other writers and a team. Poor Hwang Dong Hyuk just got baked in the second season. Everyone understood the moral of the series a long time ago. Therefore, it is necessary to continue riveting continuations on demand, with a different message. If it's not American friends who fix it, then maybe Spanish friends? Or Indian ones. Or? We definitely won't be left without content.
And the ending seemed very chewy, especially with a policeman: to search, to find, to shout, to calm down, and he spent half his life on it - well, that....
And they watch it on principle, because they want to know how the series ended. And it's not up to you to decide what the other person should do.
and then I see that the person wrote to you that you decided to give him unsolicited advice))
Once again, everyone will decide for themselves what to watch and how to watch, they will figure it out without your instructions. Even if they don't understand the plot or can't distinguish the characters, that's their business.
Of course, she will listen to your precious opinion and abandon the series. The person will just go review the first seasons and understand what's what, and next time it may be a little more attentive to watch
After reviewing the seasons, a person can rethink everything, and even see those details that he had not noticed before. If you can't do that, then that's your problem.
What makes you think that this person won't be able to figure out what the series is about if they review it?
And I didn't deprive you of your opinion, think as you want, I don't care. As for the last comm, I have the same opinion about yours)
She's embarrassed herself.
They came to look at human vices
And they have a hop here
Self-sacrifice
Very boring
They won't come again
And who's dying down there is not interesting at all, as long as the stakes are going up.
I asked the question somewhere: who is worse?
neither of them cares about other people's lives. some people need money, others need a spectacle.
I'm surprised that the face of one of these 5 wasn't shown at all, maybe someone famous?
And I also felt sorry for the dossier, I caught myself thinking that I would have loved to watch the very first game.
Granny - love💔
It's a pity that this is the third season, and not the second part of the second, as if it would be more complete.
And finally, WHAT? KEEEEEIT? wow.
I will be waiting for any possible sequel.
And they, the sponsors of all this tin, got away with it.
And unfortunately, it will always be like this if you don't respond by force, working ahead of time, because these problems will never reach them, there is nothing human about them, they were even born and raised in other values, they have stupid fun watching all this, especially since they have impunity and protection in in the form of well-fed, submissive dogs, an allusion to totalitarian regimes
And they can kill a baby through glass...
But the season itself is as fast-paced as possible, it doesn't close any storylines from last season, and it doesn't add anything new. Kihun showed that "we are not loshida, but people," and in the finale of the first season, wasn't it practically the same idea that was voiced?
In general, I completely agree that Hwang Dong Hyuk released his magnum opus in the first season. As a director, he's still not bad, it was interesting to watch, I didn't see any prolonged moments as such. But he didn't bring anything new. And some of the decisions of all the participants are very convenient, so that the pieces stand up properly on the final chessboard.
I really enjoyed the season and I can say for sure that season 3 is the best of all. There are a lot of traumas (psychological), a lot of difficulties and more moral choices.
And of course more human. Now it's not about the death game, like in season 1.
It's about people, it's about family.
It was shot very beautifully, of course, the final shots are just goosebumps and tears even unconsciously approach.
And here's the irony, the series is so popular that it erases the whole idea. People are absorbing it, netflix is rubbing its hands and waiting for more, more money. What does he do with it? It kills the idea.
They literally trample into the mud the whole idea that the director laid down. What does Hollywood and big guns like Netflix do? They collect only money and they don't care at all about the statement, the price of human life, which is revealed in the IC. They don't understand the value of art, they don't understand the value of an idea. What an irony.
If you present ideas and scenarios to the players, then the bosses of corporations will be the very rich people who will watch them die, how they change for the worse. How cynical.
For me, the most charismatic and controversial is gg's opponent, I'm sorry, I don't remember his name, who was in LA at the end. And of course, Cate Blanchett was pleased!
There are a lot of hopes for Fincher's amer version, because he knows how to wrap it up, and I hope for complex characters and intricate creative ideas, after all, the source code gives every chance 🤞
That's Cate Blanchett, isn't it?
It turns out that it will be possible to wait for her in the role of a Recruiter in the American version of "The Squid Game" from David Fincher? Or is it just a one-time cameo? 🤔
And indeed, it seems that this is how she was introduced into this universe, it turns out very beautifully)
It is quite possible that they did this so that there would be no confusion, but this is not so logical, in my opinion.
It's not exactly a uterus, of course, but if Katyukha suddenly starts acting fully, and not just in a cameo, I'll squeal.
Such a caste can be assembled there...
We are waiting for Brad Pitt as the main character of the games ahaha
Now it will be even more interesting to wait for the American version of this series.🌝🙂
Actually, while nothing is known about the plot, it's hard to call it a reboot. More like a spin-off about American games.
In season 1 or 2, they said that the games are not only held in Korea. Maybe by accident, or maybe on purpose, so that there would be a place to develop the universe.
Although there was a moment when 333rd held the baby at the edge. But then again, it's unclear how 333rd would have behaved if Ki Hong had pressed the button. Perhaps he would just drop the weak link in order to protect himself or at least take Ki Hong out and thereby gain an advantage in the fight.
Song Ki-hoon is player number 456.. I will remember him as a hero and a man!
As long as the quality of the series does not sag.
If you give violence to a child, you get the same rapist (sniper). If you give love, you also save your life, because a worthy replacement comes.
By the way, the sniper and Ki-hoon are similar in this sense - both were forced to leave their children and, as if to compensate for this, they began to help random children.
Children are, if not an attempt to fix their lives, then to save them, to give them meaning. Let's say you didn't get enough love and you created all sorts of game (like a sniper or Ki Hung) all my adult life. But you can make sure that at least the new generation grows up better, give them love and care. This way you find a worthy replacement for yourself and improve your karma. Children are a symbol of hope that the world will become a better place.
It is a pity that his daughter was informed in this way, but we must pay tribute that the father's money was inherited.
The only thing I didn't understand was why exactly the detective was entrusted with daughter 222 six months later? 🤔
And our thoughts often converge)))
There was not a single plot tie to connect the baby winner with the sniper.
The game distributor (or whatever his name is) should have given her the baby, why on earth? They didn't even cross paths.
It's a great idea for a spin-off: after 20+ years, a girl learns the secret of her birth and goes to the games that are still being held to get revenge. Wee Ha Joon, who hasn't aged a day, is also in the cast.
Don't you?
Oh, yes, you ask why Kihun never returned to his daughter, even if he survived? Yes, all for the same reason that the Frontman acted in all seasons))))) In general, there is ground for reflection here and based on "gray morality and existential philosophy and human nature" - you can invent any reason yourself))))
So the Chief Steward was not aware of this escape and betrayal of the sniper at all.
He wanted to believe that everyone acts the same way at the edge. That he wasn't weak.
But 456 made a different choice. He remained himself. And in the Frontman's eyes, for a second, something flashed that he was trying to forget - regret.
And perhaps it was those words that destroyed him more than any bullet.
After all, Ki Hong really made it clear over and over again to In Ho that he was not like him and Il Nam. And the step from the column was the last point, an argument that the frontman would no longer be able to argue with.
At least because there's no one else to argue with.
Well, really, who else, if not him? It's not for the presenter to keep HD for himself.
As for partially atoning for my brother, I agree.
I hope 011 finds his daughter in China 🙏
These are my thoughts, and I may be wrong.
For such a tin and silence forever, they definitely didn't pay with a check for lunch.
I also think that was meant in the game, but I survived
Like "You have to let us go with 016 from the island"
"You know they won't let you go"
"I know, but there are vip's on the island, you don't want anything to happen to them"
Not literally, but as I remember. It seemed to me that at that moment there was a conversation about money, or I was confusing something, at least look at the curtain))))
Did anyone expect this at all?
What's unexpected? It was obvious that the child would win. There's also a sniper risking everything for a father who needs to see his daughter. The theme is "let's save the children."
What does season 2 have to do with it? Where is it written about season 2? This is a discussion of a specific episode or season. It seems like you're the only one with a sick fantasy here.
If a baby appears in the series, in a similar game, then he has a story armor, no one will dare to kill him. And in a game like this, survival means victory. So yes, it was very predictable, since he became one of the players, he will be among the winners. Unfortunately, with "baby on board," the season lost its surprise effect and everything seemed to revolve around it.
And by the way, yes, the fact that a pregnant woman will start giving birth during the games was also very readable, many assumed this back in the second season. Just like that, a pregnant woman at the last term would not have been stuffed into the plot. It's like a Chekhov's gun.
Again, as the commenter wrote above, where was the chance that the games would not be stopped, that the Cop would not arrive with special forces, that Ki Hong would not kill these grandfathers? It's convenient to write that everything was "obvious." Well, the Shaman sucked compared to you
The ending turned out to be logical, there could be no other fate for 456. I'll join the comments about the appearance of Cate Blanchett, it was awesome.🔥 We are waiting for the American version and it seems there will also be a separate story about the frontman)
The frontman is also in aher
The Korean faces in this series are like basic firmware for me.
You should have seen my confusion
My shock is in shock
I hoped at most that Gi-hoon would turn to the dark side. The minimum that will survive, but will take a lesson from everything.
It seemed exciting, but this line with the child.... Although it is understandable. They wanted to show human cruelty and greed, for which they are ready to kill a baby for money.
It seemed to look interesting, but there seemed to be some residue of understatement and incompleteness. Another season is gradually coming up, or better yet, a prequel.
But I think the ending was leaked. At least in relation to Gi-hoon. There are still questions, actions and opportunities.
In fact, after watching it, there was a residue and only one question.
- And what was the point?
Although I understand that all this was initially meaningless, everything that happens in games.
If there is a fourth season of the Korean version, then I will not watch it. That was the end of it for me.
And yes, I wasn't going to watch any future series from this line, but they lured me in with Kate's appearance.
Although I didn't expect to see Kate)
I remember the announcement of this extension, so we are waiting))
, but 2.8 TH is about what?
Filming will take place in Los Angeles with Hollywood actors, and the plot promises not a simple reworking, but a completely new story.
Come on, the Americans will never release in 2026, they are very lazy, filming has not even started yet.
Then Very Strange cases wouldn't be released every three years. Maybe they'll throw in some kind of reality show, but a full-fledged series from Fincher - well, obviously not before 2028.
https://myshows.me/view/79415 / there is already a show, but I understand that it has not gained such popularity.
Yes, that's right, there is already 😅
British reality show, filmed in London. It seemed to be going well on Netflix.
Why is Cate Blanchett playing a Korean game with a homeless man in the middle of LA?)
Gi Hong remained human until the very end.💔
In life, you can pretend to be anyone, but when a person is threatened with death, his true identity is revealed.
I admire Ki-hoon.
In the confrontation with the philosophy of life of the presenter, he won and proved with his sacrificial act that believing in humanity is not a mistake.
It was hard to watch the whole season without tears.
It is a pity that no one managed to press the button on the third platform. It seems to me that the organizers specifically came up with this mechanism — if it were not necessary to press the button, Gi Hoon would not have to sacrifice himself.
I really hoped until the last moment that Gi Hong and the child would be the winners. 😭
The frontman could have somehow faked turning on the button from the inside, since he was drowning like that for 456 🤔
On the contrary, he is a clear exception to the rule here. ☝️
Anyway, when you get attached to a hero, it's a pity that it ended up that way for him.
Yes, he is an exception. But it is precisely such exceptions that give hope. He did not "win" in the literal sense, but in the moral sense: he did not allow himself to be broken by a system where everyone is enemies to each other.
And even if he died, he didn't betray himself or others. And in such conditions, this is already a huge victory.
Let me remind you that people were abducted and forced to participate in death games. They did not sign any voluntary agreement for such games. And now you're just justifying kidnappers and murderers. What a bastard you have to be. All your explanations about vices are over. The organizers bear full responsibility for the deaths of people.
Are you making overly logical conclusions that don't stand up to criticism in order to show off in your own eyes? To teach the unreasonable? They don't argue with you much, because it's not interesting, you pile them up by the dozens. Considering that you clearly have no one to check your ideas for criticality, you convince yourself more and more deeply of their truth. This is called the word demagogy.
To take one example, your assumption that the state is involved because it supposedly benefits is absurd. Officials are a false generalization into one body, in fact they are a bunch of units acting separately and in personal interests. Their personal benefits - corruption and personal business - always harm the state. Further, dead debts are not repaid - it is unprofitable for the state, and the poor are easy to manage - it is beneficial for dictatorships, not for democracies. You have a basic misunderstanding of the state as officials who act together. Any rich people at the top of government who unite and act for their own benefit = act to the detriment of the state. These are mutually exclusive things. They can be a support for a dictator, but a dictator is not synonymous with a state. This is how you can parse every statement, you just have too many of them.
P.S. giving my daughter a box with his bloody uniform is some kind of mockery
But in the end, I'm not disappointed, it's just that any ending for this story could have been easily predicted...
@GonReborn:
Obviously, 333 didn't need a child at all, and after 456's sacrifice, he would have easily dropped the small one afterward to get all the winnings. But he could have been more cunning and pretended, as he did easily before. Not this theatrical "I'm angry, don't come near me." Until the last moment, I believed that something human would wake up in 333, but the scriptwriters decided to make him look like a clumsy villain.
There's nothing new with Mengi-he was a conch, and he died a conch. I could have left heroically, but I decided to leave like an asshole. No wonder Chunghi didn't want him around the baby. I've ruined my whole life because of such a moron.
Kihun's act is simply an indicator of incredible humanity. To the extent that I was able to remind and feel Inho. He was literally surrounded and broken, but he stuck to his ideals to the last. My boundless respect.
Inho knows how to make gifts - first he gave his brother a child and a lot of money, then he personally took the money and informed Kihun about the death of his daughter's father. A very worthy deed.
What about Cate Blanchett? I laughed all over the apartment, I'm sorry, I'm not sorry. Playing a Korean game in America? It's just a meme. We continue to milk the dough, does it work? :))))
In the end, I still saw no reason to divide it into a second and a third season. It came out relatively flat, not even close in intensity to the second one, alas. Also, the possible American sequel to the series still does not do credit. Very sorry.
I like how weak-willed male fathers were exposed through the child's father. as I was not sure of anything in this life, I stayed.
The reference to Kihun's addiction in the words "we are not horses, we are people" was strong, as was his jump.
It is sad to see how this system does not spare anyone: neither the elderly, nor the newly born children. however, it can be easily compared with wars.
Kihunu expected something more interesting from revealing the identity of the game's owner. The line of brothers with the owner and the policeman is creepy.
Finally, I want to say that nothing happened in the plot that I would not have expected, so unfortunately it was not as interesting to watch as the first season. the ending is good, I hope it's just an open ending, and not a seed for a sequel or spinoffs.
totally agree.. Greed, fear, and cruelty are unfortunately universal. And the series highlights this very clearly.: As soon as money and survival are at stake, the whole mask falls off people.
Ki Hong, however, remains a rare example - he seemed to hold on to an inner core all the time, even when everything around him was collapsing. This ending is hard to experience precisely because it's not just about the plot, but about ourselves. After it, it's like you're going through a test yourself. It's a very strong season.
It was such a pity, but it was so logical to watch the explosion in the reflection of the 456th's eyes (
Still, I can see a happy ending here. And the detective got a truly golden child to raise)
, so I thought I had to fight to the end, for a couple more minutes. I wouldn't have had to jump, it's clear that this is a very convenient timing, that it's all made up, but that's no less sad
to think that maybe, well, maybe he won't die, but when Kihun was shown up close, everything was clear, he's not a superhero, but an ordinary person, did what not many people would actually decide, this makes his act seem even more valuable
. I'm sorry, because he also has a daughter, but a man like him would not be able to live in peace after killing the baby
frontman, who gave her Kihun's things and money, would that ever put out her pain? Wouldn't she be tormented by what kind of green uniform it was, why there was blood on it
I'm glad that the girl didn't have time to shoot herself, she's going to look for a child in China.
It's nice that Chol (Sabek's brother from season 1) was shown
Well, it's really a very family season on all fronts
, Detective Hwang will now raise 222, why did the frontman give the child to him?
Does Hwang seem to have accepted what happened? will he no longer look for his brother, try to destroy the network?
no, season 3 is head and shoulders above season 2, yet it was like a prelude to the main action, and even now it seems that they were released separately for nothing
, but as expected, nothing has been clarified, nothing is finished, nothing is destroyed, the show must go on
, there is a sense of disappointment that everything was It's for nothing, so many people have died, and evil is triumphant
, but good people remain in the world, which means there is some meaning in this life
. Let's all try to remain human.
to the casting-
the locations were also good for diretkor, the games did not disappoint, of course there was no such WOW and AH as in the first season because of the novelty effect, but nevertheless very worthy
+ apparently, a spin-off is waiting for us? I don't know if they will be able to surprise us with something, but wait for another 10 seasons when good finally wins over evil, well, such
a story is good without its morality, the actions of the characters, which everyone can think about and extract something from.
Well, now we are waiting for the spinoffs with the Avengers and Walter White, but with caution.
the main thing is to recruit brave screenwriters and directors, otherwise, knowing Netflix, they may suddenly give out something low-fat so as not to scare the housewives away. :\
The second asshole heart attack happened when I realized that I had forgotten to press the button.
"the 456th player leaves the game"
The ending is good. I would even say positive. The game ended fairly and fairly, which is very lacking in life.
It's great to see Sapek's mother and her brother, Song Ki-hoon's mom, his grown-up daughter... and Cate Blanchett🤯
Not a very powerful spin-off application
Overall, I liked the series. Very. There was a lack of sharp social drama with thriller elements. The second season was boring, but the third one pulled it all off. He answered all the questions and left a pleasant aftertaste.
This is the engineer's mom from the first season
Rooms 218
They have a life there at the level of the 50s, with food cards and distribution.
It is very difficult for them to integrate into the daily life of the capitalist South.
Consider yourself on another planet.
Many people go crazy, get drunk, and so on
I thought the authors would come up with something more interesting.
The games have been taking place for more than one year, why did they need to blow up the locations? At the moment when Ki Hong was lying on the ground after falling, an explosion was reflected in his eyes. Hence the question, do the locations change after a few years or have they decided to close the games?
Maybe I missed something (((
Of course, it's questionable who's going to be messing around. But I think this decision was made to destroy the evidence.
it's a pity to say goodbye to this story.
Song Ki-hoon ♥️
Kim Jung-hee ♥️
Cho Hyun Joo ♥️
Jang Geum Ja ♥️
Special thanks for Thanos.
As I understand it, 001 stole the money and gave it to Ki Hoon's daughter??
How sad it is to see the Ended status here
The ending doesn't feel right. Because first they idiotically pushed the hundredth, then they didn't press the button until the fight started. And then they kept hinting that Kihun was alive. Well, it's like in Kaiji - advanced medicine, the skull was restored, the bones fused. In fact, the problem is that no one has achieved anything. Well, except for the VIPs, they came, had fun, and left.
A terrible woman was chosen for the enticer. The original one was endearing. And why is she playing a Korean game in the USA? Wouldn't it be wiser to choose an American one? Since you've already decided to enter the serial universe.
And now everyone has given up? Will no one try to stop the games anymore? Some very blurry ending came out. It would have been better to let Kihun leave with the girl, or to give him a philosophical conversation. Otherwise, no one will know about his sacrifice.
so in fact, the game was destroyed, but no one can destroy the human essence.
That the frontman "left" is also not a fact, he just went to the USA to give the money.
In the second season, there was already a hint that the games were being played all over the planet, so these games already existed independently in the USA.
In season 1, the VIPs discussed that Korea has the most interesting games.
So they exist in other countries.
Personally, I allow myself to make such statements for a shit series, if it is in fact the bottom of the bottom. The rest is either something I like or just not mine.
After the second season, there were hopes for GG's super-duper plan to drain the game, but in the end, it was a dummy
What was the preparation for at the beginning of the second season? Apparently the seed is from the scriptwriters.
And this is a big disappointment for me, I was waiting for something to happen that would tear everyone apart. I didn't think he was really going into the game with his butt naked. Well , who thought 🤷♀️ in general , in the third season , there was no question of the purpose of GG coming to the game
The turn with the child is very controversial, as soon as he appeared, I thought that there would be a choice between either him or Mr.
But how much was it needed? For me, it's a drain
The games themselves are normal, especially with mazes and doors gone
But the end is stupid, that's right. I was ready to scream - just press the damn button! Oh well, there wouldn't be such a drama.
Only VIP people are good) and it's like in life, what can you do
But the actors are top, they're great, the cast is awesome.
And yes, it will be very interesting to watch the American season.
However, in some places it seems that the authors are repeating previous moves, and some scenes are predictable. But the series as a whole turned out to be very cool and I'm glad that I watched it. I give it a 10 out of 10, I liked everything 😻 The atmosphere and the plot are incredibly addictive.
If you look at it objectively, the ending was obvious as soon as a pregnant woman appeared in the frame. And you know that, but you don't want to believe it, because a series of this level shouldn't follow the old cliches. Ki Hung is a character with the archetype of gg senen and died to match him, like it or not.
The authors were afraid to make a really atypical or violent ending, so catch the drama with a heroic message.
And it turns out that the detective's line is over...By seeing his brother and then getting a baby in an envelope?
The only line that has a beginning, a development, and a finale is the line of the sniper and the girl's father. It's nice, but it doesn't cover up everything else.
And for dessert, this spit with an obvious promise to continue after SUCH an end. Blanchett, the recruiter, plays Korean games in LA, great, I've wanted this for a long time.
Yes, I understand that you can't please everyone, make an ending that everyone would like, but seriously? It's easier for me to pretend that the third season doesn't exist.
To say that I'm thrilled with the third season is an understatement. For me, this is the best season ever. Each episode keeps you in suspense. The ending is the most logical one possible, in my opinion.
The game continues. On the one hand, of course, I would really like to see a "sequel" — in the form of a spin-off or something similar. But on the other hand, I understand that this will most likely be a completely different series.
It was an amazing story. I will definitely review it more than once. Thank you to everyone who was involved in the creation of this masterpiece!
Well, it's obvious that such a hyped elite business cannot be curtailed))) As they say, there is still demand
By the way, there have been so many theories that the host is the grandfather's son from last season, but everything will remain theories. 😄
But at least 456 was a man and remains a man. When he realized that the button hadn't been pressed, he was in tears.
Somehow they didn't manage the characters very well, they merged many of them early, this season they didn't reveal anyone at all, so there were no interesting characters in the last game, only 456 and the crazy grandfather, the rest of the nounames, and the crypto dad, in principle, it was immediately clear that he was also a rat. It's clear why they leaked the others earlier, but still, the emotions from the final game were already different. It's a pity 456 is in the final, I would have pressed the button a little earlier, but in general it's kind of strange with a child, in fact, there are rules, the players signed something, so replacing 222 looks like a cheap trick. Like the long-awaited meeting without masks 456 with the host, I expected more from this, he seemed to be talking about a long conversation, but in fact, "I'm sorry for my friend, here's a dagger, kill them."
The detective brother spent two seasons on a boat and found the island at the very end (and again for about ten seconds with his brother) - well, that. In the first season, he discovered so much on his own, and here he showed himself to be not a very skilled cop (like all the other cops in the series). Well, at least they gave him a child and a prize, it pleased him.
And you can be happy for 246, perhaps the most incredible story he has, with a good ending.
Squid game usa has also confirmed that it will be milked, but there is hope for Fincher.
It feels like the end of an era.…
Song Ki-hoon and Hyun Joo (120) broke my heart 💔💔💔
It was a great season. The bar was kept at the same level for all 3 seasons 🔥
All the actors are gorgeous! ❤️
It felt like Yoon Jong-woo (333) got out of the hospital and got into a Squid Game. In the beginning, he held on, and then the essence of Seo Moon Jo burst out 😄
Mixed emotions from the finale , as if something was missing , and some branches didn't seem to be clear why they were there and didn't really lead to anything.
456 his doomed look at the button and his last words "We are not horses , We are people" 😭💔
And what an awesome cast , anyway 😍
The detective's line with his brother is 10 out of 10. Digging up the earth for 3 seasons, so that at the end you can just look at your brother for 2 seconds and walk off into the sunset
I expected more from the meeting of the brothers, they could have given us at least some kind of interaction between them, and not these couple of phrases and going into the sunset...
It turned out to be a very good season, the remaining three games were intense, I especially liked the jump rope, there were a lot of human losses, including our favorites (players No. 120, 149, 222 and 456 are forever in my memory).
We were pleased with the cameo and the appearance of Cate Blanchett, it was very unexpected. Now we are waiting for the expansion of this universe and the next squid game.🦑
But what a transformation of the hero from the first season, I watch in tears 😭
But at least it was done with talent.
If I had been smarter with such money, I could have gone the other way into this business altogether - to get richer, achieve some kind of influence, and it would leak out more quickly from the organizers, not the players. Well done, of course, for remaining a man, supposedly, but is he still remembering all the scenes of the season? rather, there was still something human left in him, he did not become completely an animal and did not desecrate in the end.
Overall, it turned out to be a good story for the sake of the story. without any special meanings, revelations. It seems to me that everyone knows that people are greedy and there is never much money. as they say, and for less money ub****t and without any games.
He also said in an interview that he was almost forced to shoot a sequel.
And he either couldn't or didn't want to squeeze out any more meanings.
Therefore, yes- history for the sake of history.
P.S. we've been completely burned out since season 3, I haven't seen so many cliches and stupid motivation for a long time
Human greed is not destroyed by one game and one person - and is it worth sacrificing your life for this? And so it turns out, everything is in vain - the VIPs flew away in their helicopters, the games continue elsewhere. If he proved something to someone, then only Inho.
What kind of imbeciles were in the final! It's disgusting to look at... It doesn't compare to season 1.
The act of 456 did not leave anyone indifferent, even these VIP creatures, but for how long if the games continue...
A strong season with an emphasis on the value of children! There was some sense to it all.
I was really looking forward to it, but somehow something was missing... There were more impressions from seasons 1 and 2.
And I don't want to make remakes of other countries either. Why repeat yourself, let the Korean original be the only and unique one.
- there was something good in 001
- they showed Sae Baek - chol's brother
- showed daughter 456
As a result, 3 participants survived in the second game: 222, 001 and 245))
It seemed to me that initially we were presented with the continuation of the first season as a possible happy ending for 456 and the stopping of these games (at least in Korea), revenge, etc., in the end, look at the computer larva wrapped in a sweatshirt lying on a block - that's the end for you... But maybe I just don't understand something in this life, I'm not a fake or whatever it was invented for...
Okay, I don't want to be too negative here. I found a few comments with similar thoughts, thank you, but I'm shocked by the delight of most of them. The season left a void inside. But I will definitely be waiting for the spin-offs and I will definitely watch them.
The ending of the games was logical, but it upset Ki-hoon. Because the button was not pressed in time, according to the rules of the game, I had to commit suicide after a heroic rescue in a confrontation with the 333rd a few minutes earlier...
The detective and his line also ended in a mess, but his character served his purpose by adopting the 222nd child. And what a huge inheritance I got into the bargain)
I am glad for the North Korean sniper that she had hope to find her daughter, and her heroic feat of saving the 246th saved his daughter, otherwise her daughter would have remained an orphan.
The seed for the American season in the form of the appearance of the character of Cate Blanchett was a surprise. I didn't think that the Korean series and the American version would somehow connect. But apparently Netflix doesn't want to just let go of its source of profit and views, so there are many more sequels and spinoffs in the world of The Squid Game.
I wanted to ask you a question now
- Player 001, do you still not believe in people?
Ki-hoon didn't speak much with his mouth this season, but he said everything he needed to with his eyes. Lee Jong Jae's amazing game!
Unfortunately, I missed his interaction with the Frontman. There was a conversation about taking off the mask, and that's great, but I would like to have more discussion about their points of view on the world and people. I wanted a more authentic In Ho flashback from 2015. I also wanted to have a full-fledged conversation with my brother.
I can't say that I wasn't touched that In Ho finally respected Ki Hoon's memory by providing for his daughter. It would have been better if he had been saved, of course, but...
Myung-gi went from being an "unpleasant guy" to a "nasty freak" this season, surpassing even his bestial grandfather No. 100. It seems that he was really ready to throw his child off the height. I don't believe he could have acted like Ki Hong, even though he was the father, and Ki Hong was basically nothing to the child. But Joon Hee saw through them both, and she did the right thing by entrusting her daughter to an outsider instead of her father. Im Si Wan handled the difficult role well. Cho Yoo Ri also revealed herself in the third season.
The ending was left with a fat reserve for the American spin-off, and, apparently, Lee Byung-hong is moving there too)) The sudden appearance of Cate Blanchett blew my mind! I expected the series to end with a game with a new recruiter in Taqji, but I thought we'd get a hint about resuming the games in Korea, where some actor of Gong Yoo's level would make a cameo appearance (it should have been his friend Lee Dong Wook, at least 😅).
I want to say that this season has brought a lot of emotions, but we still have to digest it. Anyway, thanks to the cast and creators for the amazing series!
I have an ambiguous attitude towards Ki-hoon, but again, I did not doubt his humanity, so the ending made me a little sad. However, for him this is the logical conclusion of the arch. Dealing with such a wretch alone is probably an impossible task, he can't count on a third run. But he proved that it is possible and necessary to remain human. That's a good message.
333 got so much smarter in the last episode and fucked up so much in this one that it was like he was on drugs and not a nice rapper with friends.
I'm glad for "gangster" and 246. It's a pity that the role of such a cute actor was so static, but the character deserved a normal life.
The detective's line is just hilarious. Three seasons of searching, finding, and finally just shouting "Why?" without getting an answer? How he was released with such minimal catharsis is a mystery. I was hoping that at least in the last episode this long storyline would shoot, but no, the exhaust is not that minimal, but simply no.
I painfully tried to remember what kind of teenager was at the airport, but to no avail (
But in general, the series is cool, not without flaws, but in recent years almost nothing has come across that you want to watch in one breath like that. I'm going to look for more serials with actors 120y and nedomorpekh, they're cool.
Overall, I really liked season 3, it was exciting, I couldn't tear myself away.
1. The detective and the sniper could have caused a stir and GG would not have had to sacrifice himself.
2. Why did the detective's friend serve half a year - the detective couldn't decide if it was necessary for the investigation?
3. How did the presenter find out where GG's money was hidden?
4. The detective of season 2 sailed the seas, but after finding the island, he just looked at his brother for a couple of seconds and that was it? Without even shooting anyone, what was the point at all?
A hint of an American spinoff is more like a cash cow, you have to stop in time, that's how cult films /TV series slide, there are plenty of examples.
Regarding the 3rd point, most likely the Presenter never stopped following Ki-hoon, that's all. This is, of course, a bit far-fetched, but considering that 456 threatened to stop the game and refused to fly to his daughter, I think this is a pretty logical theory.
2) The bandit had about ten charges there, it is unlikely that a detective would have helped him. There's also an attempt to steal evidence.
3) They have so much money that it's not a problem to track anyone.
4) I did not think through this moment. I thought he'd find me and ask me why. But I didn't think that he would just leave.
333 back in episode 4, they made a bloodthirsty scum without explaining the reasons for this behavior... just because the authors said so. no character growth, absolutely cardboard began to cut people left and right, after listening to a drug addict, whom he hated. circus.
the line of the detective and his brother has not been revealed at ALL, why this branch was needed, it is unclear to whom. just to give the AI child to the detective at the end.
All the English-speaking characters talk super grandly, like we're in a mattress commercial. It's unbearable.
I should have stopped watching after season 1, but curiosity killed the cat. I'm definitely skipping the American seasons, because the essence of playing squid is Korean authenticity, not a massacre of characters who can't even be properly revealed.
They took me on a gurney after the 1st and 2nd deliveries and I still lay without getting up for several hours. It's just a dream birth, without blood, without consequences, fabulous. Then men will watch such films and say, well, just think, I gave birth, but on maternity leave, what to do there, the baby is just sleeping 😂
Kihun didn't give his daughter a dime after the first win — he didn't touch the money at all, only then did he start spending it on weapons.
I just don't have the words. 🤯🔥
And I'll give you a tooth, because these are the Americans, in the end they will certainly defeat the corporation, and all over the world at once😂
Why did you need a line with a policeman? I didn't think about anything at all, I thought maybe they'd find out better about his brother through him, but no. I don't really remember the first two seasons anymore, like his wife and daughter died or she was pregnant, but is that really his motivation to do this? It seems that on the one hand he is not a complete sadist, but it seems that it is not clear at all what he is.
There was such a hope that these rich people would be hacked, but we understood the message of the series.
In general, my assessment is:
Season 1 - 8.2 (the episode with balloons is still the best in the series for me)
Season 2 - 7.2 (Thanos took the season out solo)
Season 3 - 8.4 (the best season on average, almost all episodes are good and the ending is fucking great)
Of course, I realized that there would be no happy ending, but I hoped to the end that the detective would make it and the game would be canceled and that the mother and son, pregnant and 120, would remain alive, but alas, this is a squid game. I hope number 11 finds his daughter, that the detective will live his life with his daughter and forget about his brother, because his brother "died" many years ago. I would like a different ending, of course, so that Song Ki-hoon stayed with the child, so that the VIP guests got what they deserved, but perhaps this ending is more realistic.
The appearance of Cate Blanchett, the removal of the flask is simple, I will look forward to other projects. I am very glad that this series ended competently and on time. You are always in my heart 💔
The frontman took a liking to Gi Hong, who probably became the first player he respected, so he personally took the money and belongings to Gi's daughter and called himself his friend.
There is no particular desire to watch the American version, it had its own story and its own atmosphere, if only purely a survival game, to watch like laboratory rats.... we'll see.
Perhaps, however, he only trusted his family, especially since their mother wanted a grandson, so there is someone to raise.
Or on a skipping rope, when Kihun watched some degenerate throw people off, well, humanity on his part is wonderful, but with his passive behavior he let him kill.
The VIPs were not revealed this season. Apart from the scene where they were allowed to finish off the red players on the "hunt", there was nothing interesting with them at all. Some fools in masks, that is, they did not cause emotions, neither disgust, nor anger, nor even a desire to send them as players, just default dummies in masks.
The sniper behaved strangely, according to all logic, she should have taken 222 for herself (well, that is, the Co-founder should have given her a child, although it's OK, maybe he's not in her history courses in such detail, but it was the plot, she should have shown her motherhood at 222. Throughout season 3, we were led to the fact that her daughter died in North Korea, and then suddenly a happy ending. She almost shot herself, which means 222 was important to her, emotional connection, faith in humanity, and so on. I didn't like that moment. I mean, like, if 222 had died, then she would have given up on her child and herself... hmm. I expected her to take a machine gun and go kill everyone in anger, not try to kill herself.
And I already thought that I decided to rehabilitate myself in the previous episode.
And he thought it all out
That 's it 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
- Enough to review the whole season believing in this idiot 😏
The only thing that was cool was the references to, apparently, the future American remake. Only, as far as I'm concerned, it would be possible to use more classic games here, rather than those in Korea.
Anyway, I'm glad I watched it, even though the 2-3 season is a bit weak. Still, it was worth stopping after the first season, and not milking the topic.
The most heinous thing is that the child's father did not even hug her before he died, but threatened to kill her.
456 was more of a father than 333.
I'm glad for only 246, I returned to my daughter, they were able to cure her.
Yes, it was logical that 456 would sacrifice himself for the sake of baby 222, but still, his heart just shattered. 💔💔💔
Thank you season 3 for the choice portion of glass
And then they stuffed some unnecessary plots, about a cop who wants to go to the games, about some refugee from North Korea.
The main thesis of both the recruiter and the game creator was that people are trash and are ready to go over other people's heads to achieve their goals. And Song Ki-hoon has not proved the opposite by any of his actions. No one has killed as many people in recent games as 456 have died as a result of the actions.
He just showed what a ludomaniac and coward he is.
And what is ludomania in season 3?
The only chance to cancel the games is to join Inho and see how che works from the inside, the rest is all from the evil one.
Kihun tried to interfere as much as he could. His plan initially went downhill when the tracker was removed from his tooth, and all his "training" with the special forces team simply failed.
At all the games, he tried to save as many lives as possible, and between games he tried to get people to come to their senses and vote for the end of the games (saving their lives).But we were shown that human nature is greed, and he couldn't change it. The fact that he sacrificed himself in the end and remained Human underlines that a Person and a Crowd are fundamentally different things.
The shootout was already an extreme measure, a revolutionary method, when it became clear that there would be no other chance to get to the top of the VIPs.
As a result, the sequel was not shot in vain.
The artist is player 246, who was saved by the supervisor from North Korea 011 for the entire third season. (who went to the game to earn money for his daughter's surgery). At the end of the episode, he paints her (011) portrait, who came to visit him and his daughter (for whom she gave her money). But because she was wearing a mask, the artist did not recognize her.
Why should she guarantee him anything? She saw him by chance at the games and at some point decided to save him. It seems that at the first game she did not shoot when she was obliged, then during a shootout she wounded (and did not kill) in order to intervene in the room with organs.
Her plan was initially just to go to the games (she had been doing this for several years in a row) to earn money and help the artist's daughter. But the artist's appearance at the games was not in her plans and only made things more difficult.
But I wonder why in America they also play ttakji? On the one hand, it is clear that the viewer already associates the "Squid Game" with Korean children's games, so the short appearance of the recruiter with this game seems logical. On the other hand, America still has its own games, I don't think everyone there knows the rules either... I wonder what kind of games they will make later in the game itself~
The ending suited me, everything was logical, Ki-hoon couldn't "let go" of the game, and he stayed in it.…
The drama is strong, there are so many experiences and emotions, well-written live characters, and we also gathered such actors, I watched them with pleasure. ♥
Shooting at the glass and shouting "braaaaaaat" is this the end of the arc?
Well, if 001 hates himself for killing his opponents and Kihun didn't use a dagger, that's OK. Well, after that, he's ashamed to return to his family and look his brother in the eye. But I could at least put an expanded letter to the money card.
Well, or he could pretentiously burn bridges by saying "you're not my brother." But no, just silence, turned away and went to America to hook Kihun's future vengeful daughter for a new season.
He gave him a child, but before that he warned him not to climb. I think everything is clear without words, they are from different worlds and different worldviews, but even so, the Founder saved him in season 1 and did not look to kill him at the end of the 3rd.
It's not just a child, because there was no one to give it to, it's for him to devote his life to raising a child, and let go of his older brother, no longer meddling in a place where he would eventually be killed. The founder made sure that the detective brother did not fall to the bottom where he is. That is, he understands that he is a "villain," but he also understands that his brother lives a normal life better and remains on the side of good.
The main problem is that the players are not talking about anything. GG is being dragged, of course, that's understandable, but by the final game, only the greedy grandfather deserves attention, all the others are stupid, and none of them showed themselves at least.
In the second season, there was at least a fucked-up Thanos, so we should have brought him here instead of gg, ahaha.
In general, everything becomes clear as a cgi child appears. The first assumption will be correct. The authors didn't even try to surprise me somehow.
Of the games, the only one I liked was with a skipping rope. It resembles the one with the glass from the first season. But in general, all the games are not aimed at some kind of drama, as it once was, but stupidly to knock out all the superfluous and concentrate on the main characters. Even with my son and mother, it turned out to be as awkward as possible. You're supposed to sympathize with them, but it doesn't work.
When the girl who was fighting from the inside fell into a kind of mask, the thought flashed that if the authors were half in the script, they could make her whole line completely parallel, and hide it for two seasons, then in the finale it would turn out that she is this surviving child, years later she returned to take revenge on everyone in another game. Well, alas, here's Blanchett for you and the groundwork for the spinoff, of course, not the last one.
It was possible not to divide the season into 2 and 3 and release it immediately.
In the airport scene, his aunt/grandmother and some other relative came to visit him.
Unfortunately, not all of them.
333 What a rag he was, that's how he remains, scum. And how funny it is with the people who praised him in the last episode. It was immediately obvious that he was a piece of shit who stole all the girl's money, wanted to force her to have an abortion and eventually kill the child, his child. A real scum, and it was obvious right away, I even wonder why everyone believed in him!
But the fact that Ki Hong (unlike 333) would sacrifice himself was immediately clear, he was tired of all this, he could not change anything. The frontman was offended that Ki Hoon was not like him.
When the footage of the child was shown and then the footage from number 11, I immediately thought that she would take the child for herself somehow, but the frontman decided to give the child to his brother with the winnings.
The cop's arc ended with him becoming the father of a child, but all his work went down the drain, he couldn't close the game, and he didn't talk to his brother.
And the ending with a cameo by Cate Blanchett suggests that nothing is finished, the games will continue like this. It's been said for a long time that Lynch wants to make a spin-off about the game in America, maybe that was a hint?) It's interesting to watch the game in other countries, as long as there are people who will kill for money, the games won't end!
"The Game of Squid 1987" will probably be about the creation of
He could become a monster like the others.
But he remained human.
He didn't betray himself, even when everything was falling apart.
It hurt to the point of tears for him. He died with dignity. Not for money, but for principles. For believing that humanity is not a weakness.
If everyone could lose with such dignity, the world would be different.
Yes, it's not perfect. Yes, he returned to the game and made a mistake. But the fact that he chose not to kill in the finale was not a "sudden chivalrous turn", but the result of everything he had experienced. Because he remained human.
And it is for this that he is respected.
There are no "perfect" characters in the series at all, and everyone has their own truth, their own weaknesses. But for me personally, it is important that even after falling into this terrible cycle of violence, Ki Hong was able to remain a human being in the end, and maybe not perfect, maybe with mistakes, but a human being.
By the way, all the character changes were very cool. Even outwardly, comparing seasons 1 and 3 is like two different people.
Personally, I have no pity for the 333 player at all — his behavior since the very second season confirms this. And the motivation with which he began to persuade others to throw off the poles, and not the child with 456, we can only assume. No one cancels the fact that, once in the finals, he could just get rid of the child in order to take all the money.
And as for 456, you're right about that, it's gray. And he did as much dirt as not even all the blacks managed to do. But because of one gesture, at the end, they already opened a monument to him for some reason and began to pretend that he was the lightest of people. His act at the end is not that he crossed over and turned white all of a sudden, he just turned black and refused (like all the other dead players). But if they had told him to kill someone else BESIDES a minor one, he wouldn't have batted an eye. He was gray and the same the whole series, and he left.
But that's not true. The baby differs primarily in that it has zero human value relative to other participants, which makes saving it to the detriment of others so absurdly ridiculous. A baby can be reproduced exactly in 9 months of insignificant work by one person, so that no one can distinguish the result without special tests. But the personalities behind each of them have dozens of years of life, experience, experiences, dreams, desires, plans, views, connections with different people who care about them, tons of resources invested in their upbringing, education, and ready-made labor resources. It's not that easy to reproduce them all, and every participant has it all, unlike a baby.
That's why my jaw was creaking from the fact that a mother killed her son for the sake of a dummy, not even a stranger, but just a blank for him. What an imposed force and absurdity this is. No one in real life will value the life of a potbelly above the life of a full-fledged person, and even more so their relative, not to mention their son.
If they had known before the game that they might have to kill people who did not give their consent to such risks, then yes, I would have agreed specifically with regard to this characteristic.
I don't comment on nonsense about ludomaniacs. There was only one real drug addict there.
>how people can act in difficult situations
How are the imbeciles? Well, yes, he did. But why? There was no need for him to kill himself, he was the winner in the eyes of the audience and the detective was about to save him.
And yes, this comment does not answer mine in any way in the context of the topic you raised about the higher value of a child's life relative to the 456 random people who are "ludomaniacs and drug addicts," which means their lives have a negative value.
What a crazy piece of shit. The most important thing for him was to take revenge on the organizer and finish the games, or at least save this fucking random child, and for each of these tasks it is obviously necessary (or highly desirable in the case of a baby) to stay alive to try again, and not kill himself in order to show himself an ideological idiot in the eyes of a person who does not give a shit on your views. But even if I didn't give a shit and I could influence him, it wouldn't change anything anyway, for obvious reasons, the essence of which, in short, boils down to human nature. The fact that he is trying so hard to prove that some people do not accept the format of gladiatorial fights does not and cannot cancel out what the majority accepts. The whole "conflict" is as moronic as possible and is sucked out of the false opposition of two views that are not really opposite and do not contradict each other.
You've been ignoring the topic of the negative value of ludomaniac's life for the 2nd comment in a row. If you agree that you were arguing nonsense, then at least admit it.
Any reasonable person would choose a ticket, because at least it will raise the mood for 10 seconds, give emotions, none of them will buy a ticket with their own money, and this worthless bun will be digested instantly and the end. There wasn't even a bag of food offered to ponder.
I think you're exaggerating about drug addicts and murderers, I don't remember many of the participants thoroughly, but most of them were just debtors, not murderers. The only addicts were Thanos and his friend/henchman. And Thanos was some kind of local star, which means his "value" to society was very high, even though he was a drug addict, but an influencer.
Let's take the example of "airplane and oxygen," everyone's favorite, Kihun needed to put a mask on himself to be able to save someone else... but he saved a child.
The ending is perfect for housewives and lovers of watching melodramas, Kihun could have fought the system further with even more resources and possibly put an end to it, saving thousands of lives in the future by canceling the games, but he "put on" a mask for a child who, roughly speaking, was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and is likely to become one of those VIPs who are watching all this.
Very fabulous, tearful, sad, but pointless.
To say that Kihun somehow influenced the moral compass of the founder by this act? Nonsense.. I would have believed if he had stopped the games at the moment when Kihun made a decision and started jumping off, and so he let him die and go arrange the next games further away, where they would not be covered again.
At first, he ignored the question about negative ludomaniacs, now he ignored the topic of the stupidity of kihun's act and switched the topic to a question ten posts higher on a completely different topic regarding the value of a baby's life, and even partially replaced the concept: a child!= the baby. A child (if he is not a baby) has all the personality qualities described above, albeit to a lesser extent relative to most of the participants, but there is an appearance of encouraging compassion as a measure of survival. The baby has none of this, because he was just born.
Well, how can you talk to someone like that? It is especially funny after such behavior to read how he defends the position of the gg about the fact that people are not cattle, literally proving the opposite by his example. I won't be mad at you anymore.
In general, we are all people with different experiences and life paths, so we inevitably look at the actions of the characters through the prism of our understanding. So everyone's grades are different — everyone sees something different.
Plus, due to the fact that the seasons were divided into two parts, the overall picture of what is happening is a little blurred. For example, due to the fact that I watch many different TV series, I have already forgotten many moments from the first part.
And the moment with my daughter at the end was especially painful for me — he spent the whole season trying to save and protect someone else's child, but he never really thought about his own daughter. This adds to the sadness and shows that even the most humane characters have strange priorities and internal contradictions.
By continuously gaining loans, people fell into debt, hoping that in the future they would be lucky and they would be able to somehow miraculously get out of it. The mechanism of addiction is the same as in gambling addiction.
Back in the limo, Kihun told the Host that he would show that people are able to act against the wishes of the powerful. Despite all the attempts, the Presenter failed to break Kihun. In this fight, the Host lost.
This is not a direct parallel at all. This is not a parallel at all. The organizer killed everyone to save himself. 456 would have killed everyone in the middle of the night to save the baby. These are slightly different categories. And it's you who are trying to simplify this moment. If you want parallels, you can recall how he deceived his grandfather in the first season and sentenced him to death in order to save himself.
"he didn't sacrifice anyone. All the people who died in the first and second seasons died because of VIPs who staged sadistic games for their entertainment." So what prevented people from saying NO, we won't participate in these games? They were asked every time. But the games continued. There is no shortage of people who want to. And even when there were fewer and fewer survivors, most still chose to continue? Why is that? Have the capitalists shat in the pants of ordinary people again? Maybe players have taken responsibility for themselves and their actions at least once for the sake of being interesting, rather than writing them off to others? Wouldn't you blame the organizers, the games, and so on? This show is not about good and evil. This is a show about the best of the worst. I don't care about the organizers and VIPs or anyone else involved, if they were all killed in the end, I wouldn't even blink an eye. You have some serious moral problems and unresolved dilemmas that do not allow you to see dry facts without an admixture of idealism and maximalism, this usually happens in teenagers. It's okay, it'll pass.
Each of these participants is confronted with a fact by entering these games. All the 400+ people around them will die so that he (the participant) I could have made money from it. It doesn't suit me, but it suits them. And this participant is no different from those who organized or sponsored these games (VIPs).
"We always ask the exploited why they agreed to be exploited, but we never ask the exploiters why they are exploiting. "
The participant agrees that everyone around him will die, but he will get rich on it.
The organizer agrees that everyone around him will die, but he will get rich on it.
VIPs agree that everyone around them will die, but they will get rich on it (through betting and so on)
And the answer to your question is because they are no different from each other. Just some are higher at the moment, but swap them and nothing will change. Using the example of these games specifically, they attract a certain group of people. There are no saints there. And how they like to feel sorry for a pregnant woman here, but she was literally 9 months pregnant when she met a recruiter who literally beat her up on the peron in the subway for a little money. And she went to risk her life not only for her own, but also for her child, who was about to be born. The victim in this whole story is just a baby. Who has not yet managed to stoop to such a level and has not given his consent to participate.
Only as a result, the immortal Kihun was dragged to the finale))), who did not close his hero arc, which he began with the last minutes of the last episode of the first season and the entire second and third season))))
Instead, they poured artificial soap into your eyes and you all sang about altruism, self-sacrifice and self-redemption))) and the fact that 498 people went to pies - well, fuck it))) it's such altruism))))
2. IN THE SENSE OF "THERE WOULD BE NO HISTORY IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR THE MONEY"? - that's exactly the story that started, because Kihun and everyone wanted money)))))
God, what a mess people have in their heads)))
or do you think so: yeah, the first season is good (yes, it's good by the way) Ok, it's finished (yes, it's finished by the way), But my favorite cute Netflix wants money, so we're restarting from the second season now we have a different Kihun and other motivations, and it doesn't matter what happened in the first season, and then there's a fucking Great Thanos and all that and a computer kid and Cate Blanchett - that's it Super. 10 out of 10 . So what's going on?
PS. I didn't like the season.
I'm fine)))
and yes, the second and third seasons are shit - no shaking. I just probably didn't understand anything from what you wrote) Sorry to bother you)))
Are you sure the father wouldn't have thrown the baby off anyway? In my opinion, he was capable of it. The child's money would not automatically belong to him if both of them survived, he is not registered anywhere as a parent. And anyway, he doesn't need a baby.
If the revolution has failed, then all the dogs can be hanged on them. People died, and the survivors didn't get any better.
Who to support, the revolutionary or the system, everyone decides for themselves. There are people who strongly advocate the preservation of destructive systems precisely because of the logic that any resistance to the system = sacrifice. But in this series I don't see such a dilemma at all. And it wasn't the main character who locked them up on this island. People can't stop playing. They are condemned by those who consider them scum. And the accusations that gg is not an absolute altruist.... Well, he never was. But technically, even altruists choose for whom to sacrifice themselves. And they don't sacrifice for the sake of everyone who passed by.
He has a lot to blame, but not for killing some characters by others. At least he is more humane than the sniper who saved two, but killed fuck knows how many others, but the scriptwriters even decided to return the child to her in the end.
And Dad, let me remind you, demanded to give the child in front of the last platform and forbade him to cross Gi Hung. That is, the goal at the last stage was to take the life of a child, and not to win with him. 456th suggested the option to go three together and sign off on his own. 333rd refused. So he decided to kill his father when he realized that this was the only chance of survival for the child.
As it is, I agree, only the bad ones remained at the end.
But I still want to believe that even one decent act can trigger something, at least sow doubt or give someone an example.
By the way, if the tic-tac-toe could leave freely after the vote, and the tic-tac-toe would really arrange a mochilovo only among themselves, it would be a different matter.
The abstract personification of the inner struggle: between the one who broke down in the game and the one who remained human.
Hwang In-ho, watching 456, seemed to be living his own path again - the one that had once driven him into dark corners, where it seemed there was simply no other way out. He was checking: what if someone else had been in my place? Would you have acted differently? He wanted to make sure that at the edge of the abyss, everyone chooses the same thing.
But the 456 didn't break. He proved that there is an alternative.
The path is not violence, not submission, but personal choice, principles, honor and humanity.
And at that moment, when Ying Ho saw his choice, something in him trembled. The tears in his eyes betrayed that he was still feeling it. He understands. He remembers.
456: "We are not horses… We're human."
And that's the whole point. 💔
>> The path is not violence, not subordination, but personal choice, principles, honor and humanity.
Uh, sorry.... and let's not idealize. Well, Ki-hoon's hands are generally violent blood. And he killed a man who just got cold feet at a certain moment. He got cold feet, but can you really blame him for that?
I am silent about honor... I have already written in many branches that for some reason his relationship with his own daughter does not extrapolate to relationships with other people.
About humanity, like that. something philosophical. He staged a riot, overwhelmed a dozen other guards, and killed many players.
Rather, he is just a naive, gambling companion who likes to play other people's games according to other people's rules, but tries to follow his principles. These are often called white-ball players. Actually, the fight against the system ended as expected.
I must also say thank you to the screenwriters: if we are going to bring realism at all, then the baby burned in the flames of fire. The little girl from the park finally got away from cancer. And the game just continued in another place.
The audience was given a few pills so they wouldn't be sad.
He screamed out loud when his daughter received her father's bloodstained suit with a license plate. As a monument to his idiocy
He makes mistakes, he breaks down, he loses himself, but then he comes back and moves on. It's not about the white coat, it's about the fact that even broken people have a chance to find the light again.
And maybe not for myself, but for someone else.
In some moments, you don't know whether to be sympathetic or angry. But maybe that's what the series is good at: it doesn't give a definite answer. Only difficult people and difficult choices.
You have so accurately stated all the thoughts that I had while watching that I felt like I was watching the final episode again. If a person lives only for himself, he completely disappears when death comes for him, and if he lives for the sake of others, he is able to gain immortality in his deeds and deeds.
And the one who lives for others remains - in memory, in deeds, in someone's destinies.
The problem with Ki Hoon as a character is that he hasn't evolved. In fact, this applies to many of the characters in the series. They're all like squirrels 'running in circles'. Making the same mistakes with enviable persistence.
I wrote here in the thread below, not for the sake of being "smart", that Ki Hong reminded me of Bazarov's character, who was killed because he had outlived himself in this world.
What you wrote about "coming back and moving on" may be your experience and your understanding. OK
I saw a man dancing on a children's rake. and it seems that a number of scenario branches were used by the authors only because it was necessary to close the story about Korea, to surprise the viewer. And at the same time, there was no wow effect of the first season.
Remained a human being until the very end.
Childbirth in the game is, of course, something))) The detective searched for the island for two seasons, found it, said "why?" and sailed away. Did the police not respond to the explosion at all? But the explosion didn't destroy everything, they could probably have revealed a little something here. The artist and his daughter — "everything is fine, they helped us," who the hell helped, why didn't they help before?))
GG with a lot of money didn't achieve anything in the end: he didn't break the system, he didn't fix his life, he didn't take care of his daughter. As a result, the organizer of the games took more care of her than he did.
But despite everything, it was interesting to watch. The games are addictive, the atmosphere holds. I would like to see the American version, but Korean games on the streets of the USA are, of course, kind of ridiculous.😄
No one can change anything. The game is too big. Money decides. End.
I understand one thing: there are no 100% positive people, everyone makes mistakes. But I can say for sure that he is not noble. Although it's probably the scriptwriters' job that he's so ambiguous.
In general, I don't know how to treat him. His last act, self—sacrifice for the sake of a child, was really noble, but on the whole he managed to mess up a lot more than any game.
This series will definitely occupy a special place in my heart
I hope that the American version will deceive expectations and will not turn out to be subpoena crap, we are waiting. But so far it's hard to believe (why is Cate Blanchett playing a Korean game with homeless people in Los Angeles? stupid)
Between us, something in me suspected that somehow the baby would be the winner, but this thought seemed completely ridiculous, I was more hoping that Gi-hoon would leave the game with the child (who never got a name, in general, I expected that in the last 10 years He'll ask 222 seconds on the skipping rope what to call her, and she'll say her grandmother's name).
What a scum 333 is, by God. To be honest, I was hoping that this was his clever ploy to hide his paternity to the last, ingratiate himself with the bad guys and win together with his daughter. And at some point, it started to take shape, maybe he himself believed that this was his plan. But when he raised his hand with the child over the edge of the pole, I honestly put my hands over my mouth and only realized it half a second later, and this has not happened to me for a long time from watching anything. We already have a parent here who went on to kill a child, but it seemed to be for the good purpose of saving lives, while this scum was only for money and his own ass.
Overall, this stub of the season came out better than the previous stub of the same season. I'll be waiting for the American version.
P.S. If you don't know, there is a 32-minute episode of Squid Game in Conversation on Netflix about the creation of this season. We could have added it here in a hurry.
It would be very strong and dramatic, and everyone would definitely cry.💔
I am glad that 246 has a happy ending and my daughter has recovered.
I hope everything will be fine with the sniper, too.
It was very confusing with the detective, somehow the child doesn't belong to him.
Overall, the finale of these two seasons turned out to be weaker than the first. Nevertheless, it is still a very strong project. One of the best in recent years.
The detective went exactly the same way as in the first season.
The game ended basically as usual. A good man made a sacrifice for a higher purpose.
The organizer continues to do the same thing.
The line with the sniper was just there to go nowhere and stretch the timing. Again, who gave the money for the child's surgery? Where did the 11th get them from? Just accept that she's cured. They could have said that the detective paid for it with money from the child's card.
The "third" season as a whole was not bad in terms of staging, but if you skip it, absolutely nothing will change. The first one carried a moral, not to mention that it was unique in principle.
The second is to consolidate the material that has already been completed.
P.S. It feels like if you show people Cate Blanchett, they'll forgive the season for anything.
Is the female recruiter a reference to the American version of the squid game?
In general, I liked the season much more than the 2nd. And the finale as a whole is what it should have been. I'm really a little surprised that everyone got a happy ending, I thought there would be more glass.
And I really hope that the games in the USA will have their own special vibe. Kmk, it will be a bit strange if they continue to adhere to the Korean direction there.
It's even sad that it's over, but on the other hand, it's good that it wasn't stretched over 10 seasons.
I still didn't fully understand the storyline of the detective story, I sailed around the islands, looked at my brother, and sailed back. What, why, why? Why did they leave him a child, even six months later? I thought that the sniper and the child of the 222nd would somehow be together, but they also passed by.
This season is still better than the second, in fact, this is the second season, the second is too independent and introductory. Well, the cameo at the end is intriguing, but as you noticed above, why are they playing a Korean game in LA? It's a little weird, some American equivalent or just some American game would look more appropriate, kmk.
There are a lot of heroes who have sunk into my heart 🫶🏻 it was interesting to watch the interactions of 456 and the frontman, these games of looks 🔥🔥🔥 well, the fly in the ointment is the most shameless dad of the year N 333!!!
I liked the parallel when the grandmother killed her son for another life, and this bastard wanted her child to kill for money ... in general, I liked all the seasons 👍🏻
The little pawn tried to change the world built by the elites and failed, the ending is expected and natural, it's only in fairy tales that good conquers evil.
They also sent him 222 and a card with money. You can say a wealthy child
The main thing is that the "father" uses the money correctly, he doesn't really know whose child this is.
And this is the moment with Cate Blanche, I liked these nods when people from different branches meet.
I feel very sorry for Ki Hoon, but he acted like a real hero. While the father wanted to throw off his own child, the other, who has nothing to do with the child, sacrifices his life for him.😢
For some reason, I thought that a sniper would take the child, but that's okay too. And I am very glad that in the end that little girl defeated her illness.
At the moment of his last sentence, I was not breathing.
how much I liked season 2 and how much the 3rd didn't go... Although it's hard to say that this is more than one season, stupidly drunk. Yes, it was still interesting to watch, but the metamorphoses and plots of many characters, to put it mildly, surprised.
333 – a prudent strategist stupidly flies off to Dubai, a la Natasha Romanoff, without even having time to say goodbye to the child and press the button.
120 – an experienced military woman, turns her back, a favorite of many and a strong character merged into the 2nd (!) series!
388 – no disclosure of a possible PTSD/anxiety disorder for you, a kind and caring bun from season 2, who has played more than one game adequately, turns into a desperate bastard jumping through a maze overnight? Are they all crazy there?
456 – the same way. Either the roof was blown off and we are a cyborg killer who strangled a friend with our bare hands, or at an important moment we cannot poke the most heinous characters with a knife who will kill an important child for you.
A hellion cop is looking for an island to ask his blacklisted brother, "Why?!" to which he receives a double block and, as a bonus, a child with money. I'm glad, of course, that the actor hyped up on the first season. But his plot is there and now – just heaven and earth. Who did he spit in the morning porridge to get such a script for his character?
This season was written by yazhmamka, I answer. It was a bad idea to have a pregnant woman on the show. Not only did I hate her the whole time (although it seems to me that it's not just the character, but also the "actress" herself and her sluggish acting), but I also started the whole game as a baby even after my death! Yes, Sami, who quickly went down, impressed me more in glitches than 222 in general.
There are no words. No more tears. Finally, Ki-hoon's subscription to the games has ended and he will rest. Thank you for your service, you naive creature.
For 120, it hurts the most. The character of a strong man was well described. And it's a shame for Grandma, who couldn't get over the burden of guilt after her son's murder. There was a blonde woman. There is no place for such people at the games.
It's a shame that all the deaths this season are kind of blurred, except for Ki Hoon's latest victim. There was a character, but he was gone. He died and died, why mumble something.
The deaths of the first season caused a long reflection, I cried every time. From the second season, I remember only the death of Thanos (because it was unexpected and pleasant), Se Mi (because of the inaction of a friend) and Ki Hoon's friend (because of betrayal). And in the third season: a knife in the back, an ornament in the back, hanged herself, jumped off the platform... And after 5 minutes, all the characters are already moving on. Except that Min Soo was reflecting on Se Mi's death.
and you're certainly right about draining the cop's branch. That's who they've ruined, so they've ruined. A guy who's got a lot of information in one helmet, and this season he's brushing off suspicions of the captain in style.: "Oh, no, he's a normal guy."
Yes, the directing in season 3 is clearly not up to par... Messy drains of important characters.
the answer is yes
They even left a hint of an American adaptation. The scene of the island's explosion gave me goosebumps, to be honest.
It seems to me that the theme of humanity is very well revealed in such moments. It's really nice to see characters who haven't forgotten about their essence: we're human.
456 remained a good man, even though I was tired of seeing his immortality. His departure was logical and understandable. He promised to save child 222 at any cost. Even at the cost of my life.
333 full of cum, and died. I hoped that he would be resuscitated at the end, but the egoist thought only about himself and the money. 222 did everything right when she pulled away from him. There is only one name from "father".
The detective 's line with his brother - 🗿
And how would a sniper have taken the child for herself - she couldn't have appeared in the game, could she? And she certainly wouldn't have been able to get out alive.
The third season was written under the motto "everything is possible and babies don't cry at night". Dynamic and okay))
Korean children are too profitable - they don't cry, they don't eat, they don't poop, and they don't need to be washed either. It's scary that they might start stealing them en masse))
But it is precisely thanks to such inexplicable explanations (sorry for the pun), ala Lost, that the characters allow themselves to engage in actual random behavior, and then sort of assemble a psycho portrait... The characters are not whole , which gives maneuvers for twists
As a result, the second season is not needed at all. The third one is doubtful, but okay.
By and large, if the cast were changed every season without this tie to 456, then the series could go on forever, because survival games are always interesting to watch. Different countries, different participants, different games are a gold mine.
As a result, I liked the ending, everything seemed to be in order, there is a logical end everywhere, but I wanted more reality. A child who was born under such conditions and will remain healthy in the future????? So you also won a lot of money???? What will he do with them??? It's clear that this is all a series, but it leaves such questions. Why is there a parallel with the game of thrones, where an invalid became king? Vtf
@duude_:
In general, it's amazing how in the final game he was stupidly accidentally not pushed off the square while 333 and 456 were swinging.
I also liked the fact that the presenter personally delivered the winnings to his daughter, calling himself a friend, but he was not disappointed in Kihun. I think it was possible to end the series at the emotional moment of Ki Hoon's death, I was just crying there, and then everything went wrong, because they showed the fate of the detective, bandits and 11th, you could immediately show how the presenter delivered money to his daughter 456th, having come to America and then Cate Blanchett, by the way, her appearance surprised. I would like to see some other American actors in the new parts. By the way, why didn't at least one woman reach the end of the game?
At least a shaman for a laugh) Thanos, who appeared at the end, it's funny)
The series itself was great.
Thanks to everyone who watched it with me.
See you in the next series!
This season, gg plays the role of an exclusively story armor for the child.
It was worth finishing all this on the first season, of course, the only joy of these two seasons is Thanos
And then to learn about death and realize that there is no father. 💔
As they say, "fear your desires"
Turned out to be a strong season overall, more drama, of course, but I liked it, I cried that I hadn't cried so much in previous seasons 🙈
I think that the division into seasons 2 and 3 was not necessary (just for the sake of more subscribers from streaming), these are literally two halves of one season, to which "water" was added.
After season 1 and the news of the sequel, it seemed that behind the scenes and events off the island could expand the universe and give it the necessary depth. The depths were far away, but it turned out to be the same "water". The final result showed that it was worth focusing on the games.
The presence or absence of a storyline with a detective searching for an island and a brother did not affect anything. A senseless and ruthless quest to end up doing nothing. Well, the discovery of the island forced the organizers to blow it up, but the games didn't end there.
The line with VIP guests goes into the same category: why they are here, what they influence, how the game appeared and who is behind it. Their appearance was annoying, as were the cartoonishly villainous dialogues.
I've been trying to squeeze emotions for the sake of emotions all season. And the appearance of a neural network child has brought this to the point of absurdity. At the same time, for Ki Hoon ** it became a chance for redemption and the preservation of humanity** where cruelty, greed and recklessness prevail.
Despite these shortcomings, ** Season 3 turned out to be better than Season 2**, but still weaker than Season 1.
Episode 2 is the best of the season and one of the best in the series (120, 149 and 222 in the heart). The level of tension and madness is twisted to the limit.
Cate Blanchett as a recruiter in Los Angeles playing a Korean game. Apparently, this is a smooth transition to the sequel/spin-off/sidequel being handled by David Fincher.
it became a chance for redemption and the preservation of humanity << an interesting opinion, but it seems like it became a chance to close the chapter about Korean squirt games.
Ki Hoon's character is disappointed in himself and in people in many ways. Without becoming a good father, he gave his life for a child, whom the screenwriters, by the way, could easily kill. But in order to give it all at least some meaning, the child...It passed into the hands of a detective who had been working in the mezzanine all this time...
In literature, authors often kill their characters when they want to send the message that they have no place in this world. Hello, Bazarov from Fathers and Children. There's something similar here
This season turned out to be much deeper than the first two, which is quite difficult when the picture becomes massive. It's very cool that the director has put the squeeze on his idea and implemented it so vividly.
Almost every one of the key characters with the number got the denouement of their story. I got my redemption. I realized my meaning of life and the cause of death before I looked into her eyes.
Grandma was especially touched. This character shouldn't have been in this game, she tells it in a story about her son. For me, at that moment, she turns out to be the same pure and honest person as baby 222. Therefore, she did not have to die during the game. It's such an interesting move.
"We are people, not horses" - I'm afraid, as long as there are people in masks, the meaning of this phrase will remain only on the lips of 456. A very strong character. I hope that the 456 costume and the image of this character will be perceived as a superhero. He doesn't have the superpowers of the Marvel heroes, but no one on Earth or all of them combined has as much humanity as he has left, despite all the trials and attempts to break his character.
001, he's the host of the game. This Korean Hannibal is a Lecturer. His therapist didn't have enough footage of his techniques to learn a little about his feelings, thoughts, and character development. All that we managed to find out or confirm:
- he has a brother with whom he has problems, but whom he values very much.;
- his connection with 456 was similar to that of a Lecturer with Will Graham, because he saw himself in some specific moments in it, and he was pleased to catch flashbacks to his life, but business is business.
Still, I hope that something in his heart flinched and his head spun in the other direction when his own bet on 456 did not play, and he realized that there had always been another choice.
In general, one of the insights from the series is that each of us has always had, is, and will have a choice. All except newborn babies. "Fate" decides for them.
One more instagram (God, I can feel my new identity being built around this series):
— a child born into a destructive antisocial environment has no chance for another life, his life is predetermined by "fate";
— and at the same time, when "fate" disposes so that from birth it gives you a chance for a golden ticket to a good life, a destructive environment begins to condemn this choice, to perceive a pure and innocent being as evil in the flesh, from somewhere a small child gets a golden spoon in his ass and he already becomes objectionable, although, it would seem, he is in the same conditions as others, objectively disgusting.
So, the instincts:
- how does this distribution hat work at birth anyway?
- how does this "fate" work and on what or whom does it depend?
To answer the last question, I wanted to say that everything always depends on our environment and on the person. From a person or people nearby. Only humans are capable of killing their own kind. And only a man can save his own kind by sacrificing himself. Man to man, man to man! And at the same time, man is a beast to man (
The ending with Cate Blanchett surprised me. On the one hand, it seemed like a metaphor for the fact that squid games and all the horrors there are a global problem, not a South Korean one. Burning one nest does not destroy the entire population. And of course, I hope that this is a maximum spin-off or a separate American project, but not a continuation of the South Korean story. Everything ended very correctly and the continuation of this series will be clearly superfluous.
I wish this picture awards this year!
Even if the move with the baby in the game is clear and gives references to such works as that platform, I don't understand what's wrong with that. The idea is not new, it is not so much the idea that is important here, as the path to it, the development of the characters.
I'm wondering what the ending looked like to those who found it boring/drab/lousy?
Seasons with different players and different games would have been fine, but the director decided not to bother to prescribe new characters and challenges, but rather turned the plot into a drama, adding a baby. It turned out to be such a pleasure. You need to work for the viewer, and not the viewer should understand what some director wanted to show, there is an art house for this, where it is appropriate, but not entertainment content, which was originally this drama.
This was the cornerstone of the game's plot.
Tbh, even if they continued to pump out season after season, coming up with various games to exterminate people, there would still be people who wrote that the series had slipped, there was no plot, it just cut without meaning and conclusions.
All his sacrifices were in vain, and his decisions were stupid and primitive. Even if he had stabbed all the toxic men at night, 3 people could have been saved, but only 1.
The "path to an idea" or "idea" does not work here, because we see how a die-hard does not change to the situation, he has no development. And because of him, the idea looks ridiculous, like a hero who has wasted his life.
"The idea is not new, the IMPORTANT THING HERE IS NOT SO MUCH the IDEA as the path to it."
Let's decide what you think we should pay attention to, and then try again to write a comment.
456 did not change his principles: when he was given the dagger, he did not kill anyone, at the very end he saved the child instead of throwing him off and multiplying his capital
The manager's brother is alive, his friends are too, and they will try to start a life outside of chasing someone, a guard in China for his daughter.
we are waiting for the American spin-off, there will be a place for Netflix to roam * as he likes it*, gays, blacks, lesbians, androgens recruiters, genderqueer guards, transgender VIPs * at this point it is already possible to dislike *, I liked the series that all this mess was at a minimum, and even the line with 120 is not I was annoyed
now that Fincher's spin-off would turn it into Eurovision, where only LGBTQ+/* get-together wins, and now for the facts: I'm not homophobic *I would say homophobic*, it's just that I*balked at such an attitude towards the audience and making TV series to please a very strange minority, diversity, and inclusivity who watched Shameless the last seasons will be understood by me, but you can immediately number them not by numbers, but by gender or orientation, and I would like to have a Noname cast without any Zendaya, Chalamet, and so on.
Well, out of the funny thing, when the siren sounded, I was like, "Your siren is being shown here and there," Ukrainians will understand, so to speak.
It was great, but the first season was great, the second was great, the third was generally good, the finale didn't disappoint, it was completely logical for me, and that's to be expected)
It's understandable that someone might not like that the rich are so rich, but it's silly to portray them the way they did this season. It seems that even in the first season they were more down-to-earth. All this is just fueling hatred of the rich and whites in general - an emphasis on social justice, racial diversity, and criticism of capitalism. This is done by radical left-wing socialists who have created a monopoly on opinion in Hollywood. As dictators, they punish anyone who disagrees with them. In addition, they want universal equality, everyone will be poor, and multiculturalism, although this multiculturalism applies only to white countries. And in South Africa, we will pursue an anti-colonial policy and expel and kill whites. Free Palestine, in short.
This is the new reality, and the phrase "We are people", when Ki-hoon addresses the camera against the background of all of the above, is already devalued.
The antagonists are generally simple and meaningless, the sponsors are also just sponsors, no complicated topics. They sponsor the Games not because they are obsessive psychopaths, like in the first season at least, but simply because they are white. For no reason. They're rich, which means they're so white. They didn't really reveal the position and motivation of the main character for the Games, I didn't even remember his name, although it's been three seasons. It all looks very silly. And the whole second season is the same.
It would have been better to leave the end open in the first season. Moreover, we were given almost the same open end, just changed the country. Now "The Squid Game: USA" will be released and why do we need it at all. There will be no more deep themes like in 2001's Battle Royale, the ancestor of the genre. They'll just cram new games and the same drama into us, just like they did now.
In general, I didn't expect anything, I was passing by Netflix. The first season was fun.
>they sponsor the Games not because they are obsessive psychopaths, like in the first season at least, but simply because they are white. For no reason
What do you mean, "for no reason"? Why are you watching an entertainment series? Well, probably to have fun. Aren't they rich people? Do you need some very clever motivation to enjoy gladiatorial fights? Such games have always been interesting to most people at all times, and the popularity of the series confirms this.
Well, the majority of whites there are, of course, because of Netflix, yes. As if it's any news that the netflix division will have white privileged people as antagonists.
The Battle royale was filmed according to the book. And before her, King wrote The Long Walk, a film based on which will be released soon. It is probably possible to find examples of death games earlier.
1. The line with the detective. Why was she needed? Why did the detective forget about Song Ki-hoon so quickly? Well, he found the island, saw the presenter, and what...? It didn't affect anything at all. The only useful action was to help fight off the fleeing player, who (carefully plot hole) xs from where he got the money for his daughter's operation.
2. Games. So dull and uninteresting, as if they had lost the book with all the fun and never found it. Hide-and-seek with knives and keys wasn't impressive at all, and skipping rope wasn't much fun either (oh no, there's a hole in the center).
3. The last game is just trash. Why were all these murders on the second platform necessary? Why would you push your grandfather out if you know that you will need a minus sign on the next platform? It was even possible to save the lunchbox, because he was betrayed. Why did they hit the button on the third platform, because they knew that they would need a minus sign? The heroes who have reached the finals and seen so much know how important the rules are, many times coming up with some original ideas / ways to complete tasks, they forget about such simple things?
4. An AI child is something. The move itself is as strange as possible, okay, but why show this "miracle" so often? I understand that apparently real children can no longer be used for filming, although in the end the child was real, but could a series on such a large scale at least not give this AI miracle so much screen time? This child is not capable of causing emotions, it is so poorly made. This is probably the most personal complaint.
5. What happened to the island? The coast guard came, saw the explosions, and that's it, sailed home? Why did 11th notice all these cases and scroll through them? Why not just find a photo of yourself and your family and hang it in the car?
6. Play Takkji in Los Angeles..? Maybe at least rock-paper-scissors? Where is the contextualism?
Sadness(
I love the first season with all my heart, the second season was promising. It was not worth dividing them, then perhaps the sediment would have been less.
It's just that the 2nd and 3rd seasons can be much more expensive to sell than one. As it is, yes, a hat
Secondly, judging by the way the audience was shown, they would most likely have allowed the organizer to keep both alive if he had suggested it in a pretentious format, they say it would be great to have a person who won 2 times, especially since it is strange to make an unsubstantial fake player who was appointed for fun by himself the winner. And judging by the respect he had for Kihun, the organizer would have done it, or at least let the audience decide the fate of both of them. Moreover, judging by their words in the finale, they did not even expect that this moron would jump off for some reason because of an unpressed button.
But no, instead it was necessary to play out the stupidest farce about self-sacrifice for the sake of self-sacrifice (because his act did not carry any practical meaning).
I didn't like the last game. A drama from scratch with a bunch of stupid decisions from the characters in order for the screenwriter to merge the 456th. Just because.
The steward didn't seem to be very well educated in the end. Well, for half a lump. Lee Byung-hong, by the way, looks not only like Mikkelsen now, but also like Elon Musk in the last shot. 😅
Well, Blanchett as a new recruiter for the American spin-off is, of course, curious, but nothing more.
I'll be waiting for the American adaptation :)
These policemen are all "dumb and dumber," but the main joke is that only the dumbest among these would-be detectives began to guess about the fisherman. Despite the fact that there were no prerequisites for the stupidity of the cop brother, he spent almost the entire game as a spy in solo in the first season, and in this he degraded to the level of a five-year-old child.
In the last game, some random people gathered, yes, a pregnant woman would have been better and her death would have been dramatic, especially at the hands of 333, who sang to her all the way about a dapper life after the games, but in the end turned out to be a greedy bitch.
The child's victory, which has been a piano in the bushes since the first episode, has a billion deep meanings, but it's almost more of a cliche than the notorious happy ending. And the heroes deserved a minimal happy ending, at least posthumously. In the end, a whole thousand people died in two games, these fantastic contests have been going on for decades within the same country, and of course no one noticed the same profile of the missing at the same time hmmm, very plausible (no). Those comical VIPs deserved a couple of bullets. There's nothing to say about the merged confrontation between Ki Hoon and 001, the scriptwriters are scammers. Here.
But I hoped until the last moment that Ki Hong would stay with the baby. What a dumb 333. Just pzdts. Well, they would have pressed the button, and then they would have already sorted out the relationship.
In fact, 333 children were not needed, he said such nonsense about 222, I'm in shock. 🤯
In short, 456 is forever in the heart. At the expense of the American version, well, xs, it will be possible, of course, to watch, but I think that they will definitely surpass the Korean version, especially the first season.
The finale, of course, was spiked, delayed for 2 seasons, and in the end, the dude who was looking for his brother host so much, and everything here was just left with a stranger's child in general and with money. It was as if another season was asking for it...
The season turned out to be cool. The ending is natural, I'm thrilled.
It's a pity 456, but the line with the child makes his participation meaningful. Without her, 456 would have lost the prize again, and would have had to participate for the third time, but in the USA. But at least they're done with him.
Judging by the ending, there will be a sequel
The arch from 11 is generally unclear why it was needed.
I certainly didn't think it would end like this..
Why kill Ki Hong? It would be an awesome precedent to win twice))
+ I also expected that Ki-hoon would sort out all these games and stop them, and the child would stay with him (since he was very worried that he was a bad father while his daughter was growing up, and as if this was his chance to try himself as a caring father)
The line with the child player seems completely crazy to me. The baby was playing under the mother's icon, but at the same time he was not able to make decisions or carry out any actions, it was strange, of course.
For me, Ki-hoon was the personification of goodness, struggle, and it turned out that evil won at the end of this series, which made me sad.
The series is top, but it's not the ending I was waiting for.…
A more or less standard ending, it was clear that 456 would choose a "new life" (although it's a shame)
The norms of the Persians were leaked in the second episode, so at the end I was no longer rooting for anyone.
The topic of the brothers (the detective and the main villain) is not disclosed at all, I would have watched another episode about them in order to at least understand something.
I am glad that the triangle girl survived, who saved the man and his daughter. At least something good.
Why, of course, the British villain slipped the child to the detective is also not very clear
But now at least there is a sense of completion, even though it turned out to be such a mess.
For Cate Blanchett like!
I was still confused about what kind of FRIEND 🤨🤨
I liked season 1 more, because it seemed that there were fewer secondary characters revealed here. It is the players.
I didn't like that there were so many players left in the final, all insanely greedy, each for himself and all of them, of course, killed each other. It was boring watching them. Apart from 100 and 333, I didn't seem to notice the rest during the game. I didn't like the final line with the detective, as if he hadn't achieved anything, but he stopped searching and so on. He's going to be a father now..
I liked the games of this season and the disclosure of the "kitchen" of the game, so to speak. And it's good that we didn't forget about the main character's daughter...
the appearance of Cate Blanchett at the end is creepy. I love this actress and such a hint of the future, so to speak. Not bad
Until the last moment, I thought that 456 would still be alive, that he would somehow be saved
. "We are not horses. We are human beings."
Ki-hoon remained human until the very end and showed it to both the vip and the host. Even the vip thought that 456 had won again when they were alone with the baby.
011 liked it very much, and 246 helped, and I'm glad that her child was most likely found.
I knew that the presenter took the money for Ki Hoon's daughter, but his clothes, seriously?
It is also unclear why, after 6 months, only give the child to the detective.
The actors played just great, very emotionally.
And the most annoying thing is that this mediocre crap casts a shadow on a good first season.
By the beginning of episode 4, my forehead was smashed from facepalms, in the middle of the episode everything became clear with this season, I resigned myself and just laughed at what was happening. Not a single plot twist, no intrigue, the characters are abruptly stupefied, the actions defy any logic, the plot is drawn out, continuous boring and unnecessary dialogues. VIPs are such caricatured villains that one of them just didn't have enough cat on his lap to complete the image. There was one normal episode this season, 5, everything else is rubbish.
I'll quote my friend, who described everything perfectly.:
"I've seen a lot in movies, cruelty for the sake of cruelty, just extreme stupidity, despondency, but I've never seen stupidity for the sake of stupidity."
Although, in principle, 011 with a punctured stomach, who walked as if nothing had happened, is also in the category of medical miracles.
The American version from Fincher, of course, sounds interesting, but, personally, in my opinion, the Korean flavor of the squid game cannot be surpassed in any way)
There is one very valuable "thing" for directors, playwrights, screenwriters and writers that must be avoided if you want the script to be adequate and interesting. This thing sounds like this: "If you don't know what to do with GG, kill him. If you can't finish the story arcs, kill the heroes."
I'm not saying that we need a happy ending)))) It's just that GG's death in this case is in no way motivated by anything, and it would be fine if GG were not Kihun, but someone else, and the arch would close, but there is no GG Kihun.
In short, the series should have ended on the first season ^_^
I, like everyone in the comments, did not expect to see Cate Blanchett))
Of course, I liked the seasons as they were released, season 1 is the best for me, season 2 has new characters (the trans woman played by Park Sung Hoon and Thanos from t.o.p bang bang bang are the most interesting and memorable characters), season 3 - there is already a lot of watching on dramas and I understood that there would be no happy ending and it's over everything is quite logical))) But still, the winner of the Korean Squid Hunger Games is player 456.
Sorry for the 456 player
He defended the baby so zealously, and he died for her...
I hoped that 333 would improve, but he became even worse than he was at the beginning of the season.. I feel sorry for many players, and the old lady, and the girl 222, and most importantly 120
But I'm glad that everything fell into place, all the issues were resolved, the baby was settled, and the other player's daughter was cured. And a hint that the 11th will find her daughter.
In general, the series is gorgeous!!!))
It was Kihun's incredible journey, and his transformation was fascinating to watch. Here he was not that frivolous deceiver, here he is mature but full of hatred. His choice in the end was not surprising. Surprised 333, ready to kill his child, and Kihun put his life on him.
The 11th street arch passed me by, just like it did with the policeman. It was more interesting for me to watch the Frontman. He's right: he's at the helm or not, the game will continue.
I didn't get a vauvau from Blanchett either. Even considering that Fincher will be the director, I don't know if he will be able to convey the spirit that was initially invested.
ps. Of course, I would like to see the reaction of everyone if he threw a child off a cliff and went off to carouse with his money, because he would not be able to do anything, because they play all over the world. And he would always lose, so there would be no point in it.
Okay, can you give me an example of a scene where he realized that? Where is the moment of awareness?
>as i realized before, because the whole mess against the rules of the game only led to a lot of deaths
What makes you think he realized here that the game couldn't be stopped? Naturally, he will be sad, because this time he failed and his best friend was killed. But where, where is this moment of realization that the game cannot be stopped?
It's a pity that you didn't notice the moments of self-flagellation when he struggled with his guilt and then just accepted it.
It's a pity that you give vague scenes as an example and say that I didn't understand something there, although you don't write anything specific yourself.
>it was for him and his humanity, and for the sake of the child
He killed for himself... myself. No, well, everything is logical.
>went out carousing with his money
Well, you've finally merged. For you, Ki-hoon would go "carousing" if he won. Everything is clear with you. You don't have to try to analyze anything anymore, you're not very good at it.
ps. Explaining scenes to you and chewing it out is for mom
it's just that loooooooog really goes to fuck with the word at all, Kihun is really guilty of the death of his Marine friend and the dozens of deaths of people he led to the assault in the 7th episode of the second season)))))
> he caught the marine for the first time
So what...? In the end, he killed him anyway, and with extreme cruelty, God, what's all this about? And again, there is nothing logical about this. For Ki Hoon, the life of one baby is more important than the lives of 500 people a year. Here he is, the HERO.
it's so easy with you)))) I am a film and TV director by education, and I would really like to make a movie specifically for you))) it's sooooo easy with you))) you point right in the face and say: HERE A MAN IS DOING BADLY, HERE HE IS DOING WELL, OH, HE WAS ATTACKED THERE - and BEFORE that he did WELL - well, he's not a murderer and he's doing WELL))))
THEN, AT THE END, you just pull on a scowl and make a "dumb mistake" : kids are stupid!))))) The kids will figure it out, the main thing is the kids. We are not Horses - we are people)))) you kill everyone, you kill GG, you don't answer any questions))))) At least the detective would have been told: WHY!?))))))) At least about the Mother, the daughter, and the kidney))) at least they answered something))) Nope))) The reference to Fincher is a dick. end.
brilliant))))))
Do you probably think the films "Platform 1 and 2" are a genius arthouse? Something on the level of Kubrick and Tarkovsky, am I right?
1. I tell you again: seasons 2 and 3 are the same as the first one, only dumber. And they show all the same things, only now it's not veiled in general. The kid in the first season, WHICH IS AN ALLEGORY FOR A NEW LIFE, is the brother of a girl who died.
The second child, the child whose fate we had to follow and empathize with, is Kihun's daughter.
And the third child is: The second and third season of the child: the girl who had cancer + this random 222 child.
What are the charges? What to sell ? I tell you once again: a child in the third season is a pile-up and an excuse for his own scripted stupidity, a child is needed in order to extend Kihun's immortality and stretch it to the last episode
. All this nonsense in the second and third seasons could have been avoided in two ways: a) not to shoot the second and third seasons.
if the scriptwriter had just cornyly followed the path of closing the arches of the plot that he opened in the last minutes of the last episode of the first season, then it would have been possible to be normal. Right now we have a stupid, meaningless, watery mess that you're trying to pull over your ears.
All references to "A New Beginning" and "Redemption" are visible even without your explanations))) It's just Really dumb)))))
And yes, he just killed the pseudo-Marine))) Well, the second time))) And the Pseudo-Marine is right about the facts.
And what do you want from the "fearful kid"? He said: I'm a COWARD!!! I'm especially attracted to you Marines and tough guys. Just the same, a positive hero and redemption and purification came to the pseudo-Marine))))) And Kihun Strangled him. BUT In the end, the pseudo-Marine managed to bring the truth To Kihun))) At least one arch is closed: Kihun is to blame for everything)) It's His fault)))))
the series is stupidly top. Good Night ;)
I'd better go and review the Fountain and Mr. Nobody - it's also essentially about "children" and "fate", but not so stupid))))
it's so on the fly that I remembered. In general, children are often killed in arthouse and auteur cinema.
it's so easy with you)))) I am a film and TV director by education, and I would really like to make a movie specifically for you))) it's sooooo easy with you))) you point right in the face and say: HERE A MAN IS DOING BADLY, HERE HE IS DOING WELL, OH, HE WAS ATTACKED THERE - and BEFORE that he did WELL - well, he's not a murderer and he's doing WELL))))
THEN, AT THE END, you just pull on a scowl and make a "dumb mistake" : kids are stupid!))))) The kids will figure it out, the main thing is the kids. We are not Horses - we are people)))) you kill everyone, you kill GG, you don't answer any questions))))) At least the detective would have been told: WHY!?))))))) At least about the Mother, the daughter, and the kidney))) at least they answered something))) Nope))) The reference to Fincher is a dick. end.
brilliant))))))
Do you probably think the films "Platform 1 and 2" are a genius arthouse? Something on the level of Kubrick and Tarkovsky, am I right?
Damn, I didn't understand, but if they hadn't jumped over the rope and were standing, would Kihun have fallen?
Damn, I didn't understand, but why couldn't the girl jump rope? Because you twisted your leg?
Damn, I didn't understand if you run instead of standing when there are snipers shooting somewhere?
damn, I didn't understand, if the child hadn't been introduced into the plot, which Marine would Kihun have to kill next in order to survive to the last episode of this nonsense)))))?
and it's okay that the pseudo-Marine begged for mercy to the last and hissed at the end: "It's your fault)))))))"?
OR IS IT A GRAY MORALITY, RIGHT? I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT THE RED ONES HAD TO HIDE THERE AND THE BLUE ONES HAD TO KILL? OR WHAT IS IT? IN SHORT, I'M DUMB. I'M NOT BUYING OUT FOR GRAY MORALS AND STUFF / WELL, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THE CHILD SURVIVED)) AND KIHUN IS DEAD))) WOOOO/
AND THE REFERENCE TO FINCHER AND CATE BLANCHETT IS BRILLIANT))))
Oh, sorry for the caps)))))
you can of course answer me: the grandfather from the first season invented the games, well, the grandfather was defeated at the moment when they helped the homeless man)))
of course, you can answer me: did the administrator of LiBenHo or what's his Bitterness and Sweetness there - did he come up with games together with VIPs? or you can answer: Like that was the calculation of the detective and kihun and the screenwriter, they SAY, to understand the fuck: "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?))))" But what's the answer? )))) none))) cate Blanchett fucking and Fincher that's the answer.
And Fincher will just make a remake of the first season. Nothing will be new))) In fact, we have: 9 Hours of the not bad first season of the Squid Game about social inequality and the value of human life.
2. 13 hours of the same thing but 10 times dumber in the face of the second and third seasons))))
3. Someone is waiting for something from Fincher))))
or maybe there is an answer to my question: "who is behind the games? how to stop them?" aaaaaaaa I guess there again gray morality eksistensinya philosophy ? Are human vices worth it ? Aaaaaa, I just didn't get it. We are not Horses, we are people))) I got it)))))
Only one question remains)))) Who was yelling at his brother, "SOOOOOOO!!!!!? "
but I'll reconsider))))
+ "at the expense of the lives of other people and especially his friend (I forgot his name), he was cleansed (received communion) from the stigma of a "Monster" - this is not a standard move in drama, however, after which he lost his mother, but helped the girl's brother there (by the way, here is the same arch with the child from the third season)))) + in general, it was possible to finish even at the moment when the grandfather died and the homeless man was helped - in fact, all the arches were closed and the good won. = BOTTOM LINE: the entire first season is essentially a complete story, and yes, it has a happy ending. - it's about the first season.
Cliffhanger to the fact that: "the game continues, Kihun wants to close the game and find out the reasons + The detective's brother is the admin of the game" - well, normal. BUT everything, absolutely everything is fucked up and not a single arch of these has been revealed. Instead, they just poured water and stretched it out for another 13 episodes (13 hours) exactly the same as it was in the first season))) It's just that now it's not in the eyebrow, but straight in the eye + they've piled on a lot of stupidity. ;)
When Ki-hoon said at the end of game 6, "We are not horses. We are people"
It was a reference to the beginning of the series, when Ki-hoon, in episode 1, bet all his money on a horse race, on a horse that would beat others. He was a kind of VIP there and watched the race from the podium.
After watching the season, I was thrilled, and only now realized the meaning of each dialogue.
but it turns out that the second and third seasons are stupid shit, stupid shit ;)
Thank you for your comment ;)
Both your version and mine can be equally correct.
And having been in the shoes of a participant, he, offended by such a comparison, tells the presenter that we are not horses here. And he carried this feeling of being a "horse" from season 1 to the last episode.
that I don't understand people, from the word at all.
I expected humanity from the scum, both in the second season and now. But he did well, he held on to the last. It's a pity that the actor is beloved, it's impossible to hate.
(and now I'm talking about the father of the year, who first ignored his pregnant girlfriend, and then was ready to sacrifice his own child for the sake of his beloved)
and so, in general, it was dynamic, fast, there was no one left, as if it were logical.
Thanos, Namgyu, and that grandfather and the other men are terrible too, even Grandma's nasty son, but 333 defeated them all.
456 was sometimes infuriating, incomprehensible this season, but still the most humane character, just like Grandma.
120 💔 It's a pity, she died because of some asshole. Grandma, the heroine, defended Grandma and Chunghi to the end
, and made such a difficult choice. even though her son is not a wow, but all the same, for a mother, a child, even if bad, even if good, will still be higher than other people.
Chunghi is very sorry that she came across such shit as 333 sometime in her life, we hope that her daughter will have a different life)
011 is generally the most awesome 🔥🔥 I would really like to be reunited with my daughter, and 246 would also be fine with her daughter. Well, they show that their story is not over yet))
It was even kind of a pity, it was really a pity for Minsu in the end, the actor just played well.
In general, it's not as bad as many people say, well, not wow. normal. but even I didn't understand, did they hint at the English version at the end? what a …
Of course, they didn't make it to season 1, but at the level of ideas, season 2+3 came out well: The confrontation between the Host and Kihun, how Kihun was methodically trampled and tried to break, and how, thanks to certain characters, he found the motivation and strength to do everything right. And of course, the good old human cruelty and greed - there was a lot of emphasis on voting, which showed these vices best of all.
maybe not everyone will support me, but for me, the series is overrated...
It's a very interesting universe, and it looks like it's going to be expanded.
The participants of the games, their motivation, actions and demise are generally OK. A few annoying ones, one who went crazy, a couple of maniacs, a few adequate people and hundreds of non-victims. The recipe for the first season was good, it was repeated, and overall it turned out well. I liked that the organizer managed to break Ki-hoon, but he still managed to preserve his humanity and show that there was another way.
In general, the Korean Games ended well. Hopefully, Cate Blanchett will appear in the US and it wasn't a one-minute cameo for byte viewers.
SO WATCH IT WITH SUBTITLES!!!! You're Not A Horse, so come on!!!
Ask questions, show the motivation of the characters, capture the minds of the spectacle and blood, bring Kate and give a hint of the sequel, thank you.
But it is inexcusable not to give answers, not to reveal the motivation to the end. Why were we looking for "season 2"-we were looking for an island, we found it before the burning, and nothing happened, we just greeted our brother and went on with our lives, raising a sudden alien child
Unfortunately, after the credits, there are still many more questions than we received answers.
The picture is spectacular, you don't get tired of it, if America withdraws its games, I'll also be happy to watch, because we, as VIPs, love spectacles, but the aftertaste of disappointment still remains with this story. It's a pity for our Ivan the fool, he tried, but discrimination will never disappear from our reality as long as we allow it ourselves.
Thanks, it was pink.
The game continues, see more on other netflix. The heroes fought and died for nothing.
I'm sick of the recent trend of not doing happy endings, like, "we want it to be like in life.".. Bring back the escapism, pliz...
it's just that the scriptwriters decided to console the viewer a little and give him hope... Otherwise it would have been quite depressing.
As it is, the main villain is a deeply traumatized person, offended. But on a gold mine. In fact, one could safely imagine that he did NOT save or take the baby. I didn't give it to my brother, whom I didn't want to communicate with.
And he DIDN'T give the money to Ki Hoon's daughter (because he doesn't owe her anything at all). And that would be plausible too.
it's just that then the viewer would sit, wind snot on his fist and ask himself why he was watching this. Because the victim is the head.The struggle was in vain. And the detective's trips on Lake Onega were in vain and prolonged.
The first Season is great by the way;)
Frontman believed that people are selfish by nature and always betray each other in difficult times, BUT Kihun proved the opposite.
He chose not cruelty, but humanity. And this gives us hope: we always have a choice of who to be.
He was particularly touched by the phrase: "We are not horses, we are people. People are..." and he didn't finish. It makes a lot of sense. Horses run because they are forced to. They have no choice. But we have it. Maybe that's the whole point of the game—that a person can refuse to run, or they can choose something else. (He said about the horses, as he and others had placed bets before)
Kihun saw greed and betrayal in people, but also love, self-sacrifice, and kindness. So what does it mean to be human? We often talk about humanity as something good. But after all, those who staged the game are also people. And those who killed. Does this mean that kindness is what makes us truly human? Or is it all part of our nature?
Yes, yes, I know that there is in Buddhism and Iduaism "suicide by refusing food and water and just lying down and that's it))))" - but in the series it's different))))
and something tells me that "NOT the answer" to my brother and "Cate Blanchett" proved nothing to the frontman)))))
The games were and will be, and the Frontman turned out to be a completely plastic "Mr. Evil" without logic and motivation))))
In the second season, I had some hopes of revealing the Frontman (and even before the last one, there were hopes) Because there was some kind of complicated line with his wife, mother, kidney, and brother, and the fact that he was the champion of the game, in fact, they didn't say anything at all. Sooooo nothing. There was a Frontman, there was no - nothing is important)) It would be possible to make a Robot frontman and AI - it would make more sense))))
Here are some quotes on this topic from the Internet: "The righteous self-sacrifice of people includes obedience in response to God, that is, giving or giving oneself, including one's will, to God in response, against any opposing will. Thus, the appropriate sacrifice is not just a ritual, an external practice, physical suffering or bodily death.
By offering today's gospel reading, the Church reminds us of what true disciples of Christ should be like, about giving oneself to others, about self-sacrifice: "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for Me and the Gospel will save it.
Self—sacrifice is the act of renouncing one's own interests, benefits, pleasures, personal life goals, and one's own life in order to protect the interests, well-being, and lives of others, which is identical to the concept of sacrificial Christian Love (the highest virtue); an extreme form of altruism." please, if it's not too much trouble, explain at least the last word "altruism" how does it fit in with "Kihun's self-release" and "the deaths of 498 people" ? ))))))
and where is "entrusting your soul to God"?
I can't understand how in this situation it is possible to use the word "altruism" and what Kihun did during the second and third seasons)))) Especially in the series with "hide and seek" and especially in the 7th episode of the second season))))
there would be fewer such altruists))))
The result: cal.
PS. "Oh, yes, I will definitely go to the Orthodox church and ask the baby: Man, how do you like the finale of the Squid season))) Do you consider Kihun's actions to be Self-sacrifice?Can I order a prayer service in honor of Kihun?"
Are you fucked up? ))))))))
but thanks for the reply, I didn't notice without you that the theme of the entire third season is children)))) Children are very important)))) This is a new clean bright life.
It's a pity that billionaire kihun actually destroyed only one such pure and bright life with his altruistic self-sacrifice - and do you know what kind of child's life he destroyed? My fucking own child))))))
Oh, that's it. It's just hard for you to admit that initially introducing a baby and a pregnant woman into the series is the dumbest idea. and the second thing on the same topic: we already had at least three arcs about children, which all lead to one thing: children are stupidly top)))) and there were also self-sacrifices in these branches, do you know what kind of branches these are? :
1. The first season is the brother of the girl who died and kihun made this brother's fate good or perfect, as promised to the girl (OH MY GOD, WHAT IS THIS???? Oh my God, what is this? - and this is exactly the same as it was at the end of the third season immediately after the birth of baby 222)))))) the branch and the plot are one in one)))) The process of self-sacrifice and atonement for one's actions and humanity is slightly different (I have already written about this here. Because it's not standard there in the first season, Kihun became a Human Being through the death of his friend Shinwanchmo or how is he there? And Kihun's mother also died)
2. The second child in the series: Kihun's daughter. The branch is not closed, but it would have been closed if the series had ended on the first season.
3. The third child: A girl who had cancer.
+ I repeat, the frontman and his wife and something else, some kidneys, some brothers, sisters, an old mother with her son - well, really, the theme of "fathers and children or just children could not be pushed here. Why throw in the same arch five times ? we have already realized that: children are important)))
I'm amazed that you think I'm a troll)))) I asked where the altruism was, but the answer was as much in the style of "the second or third season of the Squid game" - okay, forget about me.
I don't dare bother you anymore. I'm not trolling you ;) I'm glad you liked the series in the end ;)
I only liked the first season ;)
and anyway, I'm a Shintoist.
I'm not going to fall for the ratings and hype around Korean TV series anymore, it's not mine, it's not my picture, it's not my characters..
The richest nameless 3D child turns out to be
Cate Blanchett, fuck you.I'll take a look at the spin-off, of course, but this is also a dubious story..
The most touching moments are when a mother killed her son, and when the baby's mother made a choice in his favor. The games are amazing, the music, the picture is great. The number of episodes is just what you need. And the finale showing the further spin-off is great. Let's hope that Fincher and the American version will not let you down and everything will be at the highest level. Thanks for watching❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
About the AI of the winning baby... As if it wasn't yours or ours, initially I had a hope that the game would be interrupted and the game would be abandoned without major losses, but we were given the maximum amount of glass, it's a bit difficult after the second season, where it would seem there was hope to see everything crumble, and with each episode it hurts more. And then there was the brutal leap of this swing with the appearance of Cate Blanchett.
Thank you for giving a +- happy ending to Sae Baek's brother, but he and his sister will never drink Maldives on the Mohits.
But what a mediocre line the detective has. How he rose to detective is a very big question. I just sailed for two seasons to look at my brother and sail back. Stupidly, a few hours of timekeeping went to waste. Here he swims, here he blunts, here he swims again, and there he blunts again, but wait, here he swims underwater, he swims by the way, here he climbs, here he swims again, oh he swam back. I hope Netflix won't lose such a grand plot plot and will make a spin-off about a boat for six seasons, I missed it so much.
I laughed from the boat))
It feels like the audience was strongly asking for the character of Wee Ha Joon to be kept alive, and the scriptwriters just didn't figure out what to do with him. Let him swim...
Imho, if I won 456 again, it would be trivial. If 333 had sacrificed himself and 456+222 would have won, it would also be expected. Why, I was hoping at some point that the presenter would suddenly stop the game, regretting 456 (you never know). But figs there, for once the story armor didn't save gg!
(The way I muttered when 333 fell, even though the button wasn't pressed...)
And the way the presenter seemed to shed a tear, but we didn't see any tears - it's just the cherry on the cake, if a tear had flowed, it would have been corny, but then it's clear that he was imbued with (respect, I would even say?) by 456, but he stayed where he was. That's pretty good. And so philosophically, even, they say, an avid gambler and asshole ended up giving everything for the sake of an unborn child (not even his own, but just the one to whom he promised it). They say I lost everything, so many people died, but at least this child will live, even if I die. It's a very beautiful ending to the character's arc, just like candy. Death hurt me 120 times (it was also beautiful and sad), but now I'm nothing...
Literally, I even want season 4 now...
People liked this series so much because its creators, actors, and everyone else managed to make the audience really care about the characters in this story, just like real people, and they managed to evoke genuine emotions. 😰
Just bravo 👏
Those characters that I was really worried about and that I was interested in and liked , or were killed in a worthless way .: "Trans, Mom, Grandma and Son, Kihun's Friend is a Marine, A Pseudo-Marine";
Or not disclosed at all)))) For example, one of the new characters is not bad: A man who beat out Debts (he is both comedic and detective and all different))), the line about the death of a bossy friend could be played more broadly)
"Detective and Brother" and what is their conflict and the whole history of their family and the main question is exactly the same: WHY!!!!!? - It didn't work out either.)))))
In short, it's mediocre, stupid shit, and the ideas of the series are exactly the same as in the first season. Nothing has changed. Only in the First Season there was a Happy Ending, and then a Stupid Ending)))
In general, I'm surprised how modern people can just be made to cry or squeeze the emotion you need out of them))))
Tell me, have you watched movies like, "White Beam Black Ear? Go and Watch? Where Do Dreams Lead? The fountain? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?"
It was immediately clear that the child in the frame would not be killed.
After the riot, GG lost the meaning of life, and when 222 entrusted the child to him, it was also clear that he would sacrifice himself for him, because he had nowhere to go back to anyway (he had long forgotten about his daughter).
Actually, because of all of the above, it is also clear that the rest of the players will die, so keeping track of which order is not the most exciting sight.
The detective swam, frustrated, swam. A lot of people died because of him. He didn't achieve anything, but at the end he was so happy riding. What's the point of all his "adventures" for two seasons? They also left the kid with him, what is this log going to do with him?
The sniper was told that they had seen their daughter somewhere in China. In China, with a population of 1.5 billion people. Good luck finding it.
The rescued gambler somehow cured his daughter without money and in a fairly short time. A miracle, no doubt.
The scenery was also disappointing, especially the hide-and-seek maze (I'm generally silent about the unproven room with music from the Brigade, where they were supposed to go out). It's like the directors did a really bad job this season.
No wow-turns, slack-jawed looks, or even small surprises. I naively thought that in such a series it had to be.
The only thing that attracted attention was Blanchett's appearance and the fact that she was playing a Korean game (WTF) in an alley in Los Angeles.
Cate Blanchett and what's wrong? If only she had said: "Fooooood you should take calzaiolo..... "- that it would be cate Blanchett cameo))))))))))))
And so, well, cho - cho ? Like going to shit is a spinoff remake from Fynchr)))) absolutely yes. It's neither hot nor cold from the old version of Fynchar. I'll tell you in absentia that everything will be either like in the first season, or just like that))))
and Yes, it really attracts attention with its stupidity: Why in America would someone play traditional Korean children's games on the street)))))
Yes, yes)) in the end, I was also perplexed. As after the death of the heads.The scriptwriters seemed to offer the hero a sweetened pill in the form of happy endings of all sorts of minor characters. Which I've already forgotten about. "Oh, my God, I'm not interested, next frame, please."
Music, plot, drama, acting. It's cool.
But, I'm only worried about one thing, what did that detective achieve in the end? He sailed to the island, shouted his brother and sailed away, as if his storyline had led to nothing at all, did not save anyone, did not do anything. In the end, they gave him a child with money and that was it.
And as if everything is OK, everyone is happy, everyone is happy, well, that's it.. As if this storyline wasn't necessary.
But the main character's line is simply gorgeous.
And yes, as I understand it, the ending is the announcement of the Squid Game in the USA, well, I definitely can't stop them.
The ending is complete nonsense and idiocy. It wasn't enough for them to have a grandfather of 100, so here, too, the creators rewrote 333 for the hundredth time, from worthless to quiet, from quiet back to gone. So now they haven't pressed the button either. Honestly, all these self-sacrifices for the sake of child 222 are already tired, in my subjective opinion, this is an outright fairy tale and hypocrisy. Well, who in such a situation would do that in their right mind and sober memory? Either an outright suicidal man, or a saint. What did 456th expect when he did this? How could he be sure that the child would be given the money and that anyone would honor the contract, given that the rules were changing at every turn?
What is the moral of all this? The game continues, apparently, no conclusions have been drawn. They will continue to look for those who wish. The majors are not punished either.
In a word, the aftertaste is just fine, disappointed.
Yes, I'm an old grouch, of course.
I don't even want anything for money.
For the youth, I would like to say that they have absorbed:
Capital has limited power.

A funny situation developed over the weekend - after watching four of the six episodes of the last season of "Squid" on Friday night, we happened to watch more than half of the first season, and then finished off the remaining episodes of the finale on Saturday night. And how good the first season was!
What I mean is, of course, I'm glad that "The Squid Game" has a logical ending (more or less). But damn it, it would be better if it remained a one-season miniseries. Or at least it wasn't worth splitting the miserable 13 episodes into two quasi-seasons. Well, these are not full-fledged seasons. This is one story that was sawn in half by Netflix marketers, which did not benefit either the "second" false season or the "third". Take away the filler moments, and the timing could be reduced to the same 9 great episodes as in the original.
Speaking of birds, the streaming service will release the finale of "Stranger Things" in three stages: November 26 - 4 episodes, December 25 - 3 episodes, December 31 = 1 episode. Just a little bit more and Netflix will invent a standard terrestrial television with one episode per week!
I guessed the ending globally six months ago, when the second season was released.: what will happen to the main character, the island, guessed the winner (but there is a nuance) and literally the last scene. And let's be blunt - I didn't like it! But I like to seem smart! Personally, I was disappointed with the final game, how it was brought to it, how it was brought to a "correct" and "logical" ending, and how the author of the series, Hwang Dong-hyuk, made all the characters dumb out of thin air, just to have that "perfect" ending. You understand where everything is going and you think, "But how elegantly will they lead you to this?". But there's no way! As the roleplayers say, "masterful arbitrariness" occurs, and the director/ screenwriter quickly destroys all obstacles, just to get his characters where he wants them to be.
Sophistication is lost even in games. One way or another, the participants caused the death of others, but I don't remember this happening so head-on and massively, as it was in the opening game of the season. The episode itself was excellent, dramatic in a good way, with a lot of victims among worthy characters, but this is exactly what the "royal battle" is. Well, in the same steppe, the final game. Of course, you worry about the characters, but you do it through the palm of your hand, which does not move away from your face because of the stupidity of what is happening.
Premature (and therefore completely unrealistic) childbirth and a computer baby do not add advantages. In terms of graphics, this is a neural network embarrassment, of course. Although it's an idea that children inherit all the problems of their parents and become embroiled in something that they can't even realize and understand yet - nothing like that. However, we saw all this in the Spanish "Platform" from the same Netflix.
The big problem is also the workload of the third (I remind you: the shortest) season with unnecessary secondary lines. Why introduce VIP viewers at this stage? They weren't the strongest side in the first season either. What have we learned about them? That they're caricature villains from James Bond movies from the sixties. As if we didn't realize that only ghouls can really get high from this. Their dialogues and lines are, I'm sorry, a cringe. They even laugh almost like a parody (!!!) Dr. Evil. Plus, for the viewers who place bets, they are surprisingly calm about violating the rules and the obvious help to some participants from the organizers. Yes, I complained about the lack of viewers in the second season. But it's better than that.
And what did the cop achieve with his search for the island, besides the fact that a dozen people died because of his slowness and unwillingness to listen and hear? Where is the resolution of the conflict between the brothers? And what was the sacred meaning of introducing a guard from North Korea? So that what? Well, that is, until the last moments on the island, she could have done one useful thing that would justify her existence in the series and would fit well into her quest. But no. The participant is an artist from the same series.
That is, at the end of the second season, there were hopes that all these lines would intertwine in an entertaining way and each of the characters would play their own significant role. But these are literally not fired Bondarchuk guns, which are a disappointment. Numerous theories that arose last season are not confirmed. But they are not refuted, it does not matter - in a more or less interesting way. All the reasons for the versions simply dissolve. Because initially it was necessary to stretch the story over 13 episodes so that Netflix could take longer and sell more merch.
What prevented Hwang Dong-hyuk, who was rapidly losing his teeth from stress, from saying, "I bet I'll finish Song Ki-hoon's story in 2 seasons of 13 episodes?" but calmly releasing standard seasons about different characters and returning the 456th after some time is unclear to me. Moreover, you Netflix capitalists will still continue the "Squid Game" with the American spin-off from David Fincher (don't miss the stellar cameo)! And you still left some things open for a sequel and a Korean version.
Nevertheless, the third season - especially towards the end - draws out the 456th. And actor Lee Jong-jae is incomparable on his own (I really liked how he played Ki-hoon in an even more severe, depressed state after the revolution of the second season), and his character with faith in humanity still leaves a slight hope that not only decay awaits us all. And thanks to such people, Homo Sapiens have a future, perhaps even a bright one. If you know what I mean.
Yes, the last two episodes of "The Squid Game" left me feeling upset and could have been more brilliant, but if we look at all three seasons together, it's still an exciting story about people and their survival in the "wonderful" world of capitalism.
Of course, I won't recommend this season, just because if you start watching "Squid" you'll finish it anyway. It's a pity that we parted with the 456th on such a note, but perhaps even more interesting games await us. Or maybe we saw the pinnacle of this concept four years ago, and then Netflix will only make it worse, and I will still fondly remember even the third season of the original.
Rating: 6 platforms out of 10
VIPs are generally a separate topic: if they looked strange in the first season, now they have become openly caricatured, like a parody of villains. They only needed a cat in their arms for a complete entourage😀
Alas, it's too obvious that the platform wanted to make money. And it's hard to blame them for that. but the final result turned out to be, alas, very expected. And yes, the ending, as the filmmakers tried, came out too predictable. When you shove the piano onto the stage, but shyly cover it with a curtain, it's still visible... And the quality of the characters' set design was hellishly disappointing. In some places, the movie was for the sake of the movie
Ki Hong remained human until the very end. The strongest character and character.
I will definitely review all the seasons in the future, I was very touched by this series, even though I resisted watching it for a long time. And if there are spin-offs, of course, I'll watch them too. And if the American one is Cate Blanchett, then there are no options at all))
real shame for 333, he managed to go from "maybe all is not lost" to "God, let someone burn him already" in one season.
And the most painful thing was that strangers were dying for the baby, and the one who was supposed to be his shield became a threat.
I demand a prequel about these two characters, it would be interesting to see their stories and how they came to this game.
By the third season, he looks more like Elon Musk than Mads XD.
He showed that he was still gambling, encouraging everyone to attempt a riot on a "foreign field" by playing the game "not according to his rules."
I got drunk on my own, making a decision in 5 minutes. Well done, of course, I thought about the baby. But if the scriptwriters hadn't painted a beautiful scene where the main character picks up the baby, it would have turned out that the baby happily burned in the fire of hellfire...
It's funny that after all this. glavzlyd himself, who gave the order to shoot his brother, then delivers him a baby and a cutlet of other people's money...
So no, it's not an evolution of the character...
Secondly, why didn't Gi Hong think about the button on platform 3, they even seemed to warn them at that moment. Well, take a step back, as if by accident, press the button with your foot. And anyway, if that's how he thought about the child, then he should have pressed the button 100%. Well, he's thinking about the child, trying to make sure that he doesn't leave, what are the options?
1 - 333rd will still throw the child and Gi Hong will not save him. After that, Gi Hong throws out the 333rd in a rage, and then remembers about the button (Death of the child and Gi Hong)
2 - The 333rd still throws the child and Gi Hong will not save him. After that, Gi Hong rushes at 333rd in a rage, but loses (The death of the child and Gi Hong)
3- Gi Hoon will be able to throw off the 333rd and die himself because of the wrong button, as it turned out (Gi Hoon's death)
4 - Gi Hoon will be able to throw off the 333rd and throw off the kid because of the wrong button (common sense, this is the third point*) (Death child)
5 - In a fight with the 333rd, accidentally throw out the child (Death of the child)
6 - Lose in a fight to the 333rd and fly out, but because of the wrong button, the 333rd would still press it and throw out the child (Death of Gi Hong and the Child)
Continuation:
As a result, due to the non-pressing of the button, out of the 6 cases considered, the child would have died in 5, except for the 6th, which turned out to be. And Gi Hong would have died in 4 out of 6 cases.
But! if Gi Hong had pressed the button, then.. in 1 case Gi Hong survives, in 3 case Gi Hong survives, in 4 case the Child survives, in 6 case the Child survives, as a result, with the button pressed out of 6 cases considered, the child would have died in 3 cases, Gi Hong dies in 2 cases. This means that pressing the button increases the probability of a child's life from 16.6% (1 out of 6) to 50% (3 out of 6). And Gi Hoon's life chances increase from 33.33% (2 out of 6) to 66.66% (4 out of 6).
Third, why sacrifice yourself for a kid? The way it turned out in the series, and my example No. 3, and why No. 4 is better: well done, I "saved" an incomprehensible baby, who is not the fact that they will leave alive, or raise the next presenter from him. But Gi Hong is dead, and he obviously won't be able to come to the game again, even more experienced, and work out a better plan. And he won't be able to save anyone. He won't be able to share information with the Detective, he won't be able to do anything else.
In this sense, season 1 came out much more laconic and robust. The characters "did not betray themselves" and were visible from the moral principles. Seasons 2-3 could no longer rely on the WOW effect of the first season, the scriptwriters had to "surprise".
I would not say that it turned out
Did someone check out the reference about horses? As for me, it was very good.
Well, that's fine. Overall, it wasn't too bad. There have been several cool episodes in two seasons.
Fincher might even shoot something sensible, but so far the idea of a spin-off in the states sounds very dubious.
Overall, the series turned out great. I don't think it's worth hoping that Netflix won't milk the franchise until it melts, but hope dies last 👀
(The finale with the recruiter in America, somehow not impressed) 🤔
money solves everything, unfortunately, this is a fact.
I would like to see a collaboration with Baby Yoda from the Mandalorian and Spider-Man from Marvel ;) And it wouldn't be bad to put Ellie from One of Us here (only necessarily in the same cast that was in the Series!!!! I really remember this actress just)
10/10 Rating of the series
As soon as they said that someone had bet on 222, I suspected something, because this is the only bet that was voiced out loud.
Be sure to check it out
I got it a little mixed up
"The Eight Show", "The Liar's Game".
The message is clear: "children are the flowers of life, everything is for them." Then the artist's girl was cured, and the daughter inherited, and the baby is a winner. Actually, their parents went on this adventure for the sake of a better life for their children, it's just a pity that not everyone saved their lives.. Here is 222nd, she doesn't even have a name, there are no parents either, but there is a gold card with a cosmic account - for a baby this is a dubious happiness without a mother next to her.
There was a small hope in the end that they would have time to storm the island and arrest the VIPs before jump 456, but as we were shown, and it is obvious that there are many such islands around the world, and the destruction of one epicenter will not stop the whole process, the thirst for blood and circuses of some, and the thirst for money at the cost of any blood of others.
when a pregnant woman was introduced to the team, it was clear that sooner or later another player would be added😅
I liked that, in general, all the lines are closed, and the characters are well written. The season is decent, I even consider it at the level of the first one.👍🏻
The only negative for me is that the line with the detective was stretched.
Damn, now we need to change the cat for baby Grogga. 😅
Lee John Jae and Pedro Pascal will fight to the death at the Emmys for the title of "father of the year" this year.
Of all the players, the soy character survived. Seriously, did anyone give a shit about the artist? Well, also a child, but it's generally a laugh.
The cryptocurrency exchange was stupidly leaked. Of course, he was willing to do a lot to survive, but not to kill a child. It's not in his nature, I don't believe it.
The detective was completely useless. I've done a whole lot in three seasons. Well done.
I laugh at the fact that the Frontman took the time to say goodbye to Ki-hoon, even looked at his daughter in another country, and only looked at his brother with a look of "fuck you, leave me alone."
Yes, and Ki Hoon's daughter will be very happy to learn that her father sacrificed himself for someone else's child. It means he didn't want to return to his own daughter, but killing himself for the sake of an outsider's baby is easy.
And what conclusion follows from the third season? A brainchild? Are children our future? All the best for children? After a great second season, which delved into the psychological component, this one looks completely helpless.
P.S. Cate Blanchett is good. But seriously, are Americans playing the Korean game? Didn't you come up with your own games?
in fact, it didn't work out. A farce with a baby. Some kind of psychological games that are sucked out of the finger, which eventually turn into some kind of chaotic self-drinking like bots in GTA...
What would it be like for a daughter to know that her father had killed a baby?
And I was even more pleased with the very ending, maybe they'll come up with something else. 🤞
I'm sorry, but the VIP guests were reminded of the characters of "120 days of Sodom" with their immorality - they are all devoid of moral values, but with big finances - a direct quote is "every thing that seems terrible to you ceases to be so as soon as you experience pleasure from it."
The final is normal! somewhere there is a closed ending, somewhere there is an open ending, but it will go, wait a minute. but the plot with my brother is purely a meme with a cow on the shore "why?".
but the American version is very intriguing! I wonder what kind of Hollywood cast awaits us, and especially the games - surely they won't introduce Korean ones? I would watch, even if playing squid is always going to be associated with Korea and the songs from there.
Goodbye legend ❤️
Of course, it's even unexpected from some part, but still, it's not for nothing that the author said there wouldn't be a happy ending, apparently he meant for Ki Hoon...
As I understand it, the upcoming version of the squid game from America will be in the same universe as this one, and not as I thought just separately, so even more interesting
The epic is over, the series has sunk into my soul very much, I think from which part it even acquired the cult phenomenon as a whole, every season, episode, that's how they are discussed
Now we are waiting for the American version
the ending with Kate, like a promise for a spin-off, for the American version, I think. Well, I think it's a good idea, I hope it will be shot with high quality, and most importantly with new ideas. It's a great series. Thanks!👏🏻
Overall, the ending is glass, but that was to be expected. Until recently, it really seemed like Kihun was going to get up and continue his fight..
In the last game, of course, there are no words for how badly they played)) To end it sadly, okay
Well, even at the end of the first season, it was clear that Kihun was an idiot and hated his daughter.
He could have helped dozens of people all over the world every day, but he chose to suffer bullshit, to kill people. I haven't fixed anything, I haven't changed anything. Sleep tight hero
Make the characters contradictory so that they can be killed later)
At the same time, they are following the path of conditional "Walkers" and are now planning to shoot a million spin-offs for profit)
The first season — I was looking for my brother, I found him, and then they shot at me and I fell into the ocean.
The second, third season — I was looking for my brother, I found him, I asked "why?", I didn't get an answer, I retired 😎
As a result, I got a child that I didn't ask for, so that I wouldn't have to worry about idleness anymore.
And it was only worth stopping at the first season...
An absolutely disappointing, secondary, and most importantly predictable series finale.
The characters are once again contradicting themselves, once again adhering to some imaginary values, but at the same time they all ended up where they were and each time they commit acts that contradict themselves...
At the moment, the filmmakers simply offer to believe not in the characters, but in the situation.
And You just don't believe any of the characters, because it's not clear what his motives are, what his principles and moral principles are. Not because the hero is so complex and multifaceted, but because he is inconsistent...
The heroes we deserve are a father who misses his daughter, but even after receiving a fortune, he never even visited her in the United States. I didn't even get in touch with her. But at the same time, he is fighting for "goodness and justice", ready to sacrifice for the sake of an incomprehensible miracle of someone else's child.
This is a mother who saved a child from suicide, but then killed him herself.
A little stuffy in the details:
Let's remember about childbirth and breast-feeding...I suppose they'll kill the school anyway, but as you grow up, find out from your moms what 6-9 months of pregnancy is, what a woman can do during this period and what not) and what a woman who gave birth to is) I'm afraid this Korean girl would bleed out right in that room... Childbirth is not just about cutting the umbilical cord.
By the way, we must pay tribute to glavmladenets... When my daughter was born, she wouldn't let me sleep at all. Then it's humming, then colic, then sleep in a hurry
As soon as the baby appeared in the frame, he immediately told his wife who would come out of the water alive in the end. With all the twists sucked out of the finger, alas, it turned out to be very banal. And even the "rockfall" from the top of the heroes in the last episodes rather caused an ironic smile. Very weak. I prefer to think that the series ended with the first season.
I love the organizer for the lack of a hypocritical white coat.
Actually, I've been thinking about it again. And it seems that the ending of the film is closer than ever to real life. It would even be great if there were no such sugary rescues. Because the scriptwriters really killed the heads.They wanted to soften the picture a little for the viewer.
But in fact, everything is like in real life: "The grave. At the grave is an epitaph: I am dead, but the Mafia is immortal"
The presenter is even a little sorry, he became convinced that he was still a bad person and could have done otherwise..
456 is a strong man with a core and beliefs, I feel sorry for him (
Cate blanchett-strongly ❤
I liked the ending. At the end of the last episode, I believed in 333, but it's good that he immediately showed his intentions, again, because of his stupidity, he could have outsmarted.
Oh, I believe that 011 will find his daughter (although it was written in the dossier that she died?) And I thought she would take the baby for herself (a very strange decision, to give her to her younger brother, why would he need her, and according to the documents, how to arrange her)
And I really hope that the brothers will meet, at least let the eldest see his mother.
By the way, for some reason I thought that the younger one would open a detective agency and invite that dude from prison with him.
Very interesting, will the Korean branch not be restored? So Kihun has at least partially achieved his goal?
The last under-season was better. It was interesting with the recruiter and Kihun, they just had great scenes. And as the players revealed themselves, the drug-addicted rapper and co., the granny and the son, the transgender from SWAT 120, the pregnant woman and her asshole man - at least they had a conflict, and that was bread.
But in general, they shouldn't have introduced a pregnant woman. This is as cheap an example of a tear suppressor as movies of animals dying of old age. It always works, even if you don't have to write much.
It was immediately clear that she would not be killed while she was pregnant, because it was taboo. And if she gives birth at the games, then the baby will not be killed, because, again, it is taboo. They could have come up with something more original.
With 456, too, everything is sewn with white threads. He's a gg, we need to give him a heroic death for the sake of the baby, of course, and the pathetic last words go deep.
Why the observers were shown is a mystery. They have absolutely no tension within the group. Yes” the sponsors in the “Hunger Games" had more personality and agency. 🙄
I was hoping that the branch of the sniper and the single father would be more involved in everything else, but they didn't even plot.
The policeman was generally pushed somewhere into the background, so much so that no one cared about this plot. And there's a grater between the brothers that hasn't gone away at all. And what, and where. And here's another one for the baby))) And money for the baby. Congratulations, you're a father now. 🎉
The finale of meh, in general. All sisters have earrings, roughly speaking. And the baby was settled in, and the money was distributed among the children, and the sniper will definitely take her daughter, because children should not be touched.
But Cate Blanchett was suddenly given instead of Gong Yu. She's going to lose for happiness.
I wish you all the best in real life ;) - NOT SARCASM!!! <3
Goodbye. <3 ^_^
The complete failure of the Inho Arch. His line with Kihun was not adequately prescribed, the entire second season was based on their confrontation for the sake of "waving a knife with an evil face.".
Inho and Brother's line was completely screwed up. She's gone. The detective has been searching for the island for three seasons, and that's it. (Yes, he helped find the Game, but why would you do an arc with your brother just to ignore it?) Inho himself: I didn't expect his redemption arc and I didn't want to, but in two seasons we've been shown that this character is complex and multifaceted. He is part of the system and at the same time he is Different. With their principles, even if they are cruel at first glance, with their weaknesses. There are so many parallels between his fate and Kihun's. What did we see? Inho doesn't care. I repeat again: I don't want to see the frontman in the role of "oh no, I'm so sorry for everyone, I'll be kind" in any case. But they practically didn't show us any reflections about Kihun, or about the Brother, or about the pregnant woman. (introducing a character with such an explicit reference to his pregnant wife and not using it in any way is nonsense.)
The presenter should not have survived. He had to explode along with the island, because there is no life outside of it. (even though he remained true to his ideals, which he broadcast to Kihun), He hides on the island from the past that was broken by the death of a loved one. Being a manager is a kind of escapism. (let's recall Inho's room with books in season 1 and the deleted scene with the fish.)
In the end, what? He went to America to play new games. And where is all the depth?
So, I didn't like NOT closing the arches to fuck anyone))))))) Kihun's arch was initially ALMOST closed in the first season: his 3-act structure was closed almost at the moment of boarding the plane, then the ARCH of REVENGE and altruism for all living things was opened to him, But this arch was not only broken by the murder of a pseudo-marine and a riot in the 7th episode of the second season, but also ended in nothing)
BUT I would also like you for an ABSOLUTELY MASTERFUL explanation of the Frontman's reasons))) and how would you finish his Arc, even with the introductory ones that we have in the series)))) Because in my opinion, the Frontman hasn't been revealed at all, and I'm surprised that you've been able to come up with so many interesting theories and assumptions. And I like your versions very much. And how you were able to weave this pregnant madam into the plot (who participated in the game - it was initially stupid)))) - I liked it too) BUT in the end, we have what we have. The second and third seasons are dumb shit dumb shit.
And I'm not a VIP at all)))))
each of them is not an idiot enough to start killing everyone in a row in the second round, leaving no one for the third. Even though Imsivan was turned into a psycho by the end, I don't think he would have killed the child.
Kihun disappointed me... He's got a lot more blame for that riot than that kid, and he just killed him. I understand everything about the survival game and so on. But Kihun's motive is for the kid who didn't bring the bullets... For me, the whole idea and reason why he returned to the games has lost all meaning.
In general, the series is interesting, the episodes always ended with something intriguing and exciting... and the ending of the series itself is simple... Well, I do not know...
Beaver to all
It was expected that the child would win and not be killed, and all the intrigue was gone.
And to give my daughter 455 a bloody, dirty dead father's costume is creepy.
Game over, won cheater 😄
We finished well, we liked the new games, sometimes I was happy about the "elimination" of some players, I'm glad for the 246th. Most of all, I didn't like the fact that the storyline with the detective didn't lead anywhere at all; in some places the characters were stupid, but it's not a big deal.
I'm definitely going to watch spin-offs, prequels, sequels.
Everything looked as if she shot him.
This is another logical trap that the scriptwriters offer as a given, and the viewer's attention does not focus on it:
during the next round, players behave quite naturally in fear of death. As befits a living being in moments of critical danger. They're panicking, screaming, crying. They beg for mercy...
But in the end, they voted every time and moved on. read Remarque, the memoirs of war veterans...People cannot constantly live in a state of permanent fear of death. They're going crazy. They just hide in the farthest corner and their consciousness no longer reacts... But then there would be no TV series)
Vladimir Ivanovich Dahl quote: "Dying today is scary, but someday it will be nothing. “
In the series, we are asked to believe that the environment turns on and off like a desk lamp.
By the way, an interesting topic was raised: for some reason, the players, for all their logical research, did not realize that if the game leaves someone with money, then a maximum of one player)) And by the way, for some reason Ki-hoon himself never mentioned this.
It turns out that they were all blissfully unaware that they would all die in the end... another logical trap
I carefully avoid this topic, but I'm always tempted to speculate on the topic of ordinary Bayesian distribution and game theory))).
We know that there are a certain number of players, there are a certain number of contests, but there is always a place for black swans, such as a riot, a fight in the toilet, and so on...
According to some calculations, the players should have ended a little later than the equator of the competition, but fortunately there is always a trick with adding extras: every time you see an unfamiliar face in the frame, it means in 10-15 minutes his head will be lying in a pool of blood))
A very powerful and unexpected cameo at the end!
I just saw Cate Blanchett (who didn't finish playing and forgot her remark about the Ring)))) - not very cameo. They didn't even show Chad Stachowski from John Wick, they didn't even show Lee's Wall - it's some kind of shit. soryan.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
In short, juicy and with a slight disappointment. 😏
333 is looking after his ex, then this season he was ready to throw off his child. Revealed himself for the worse.
120 is a pity. Still a strong and cool character.
The appearance of Cate Blanchett surprised me! We've done a good summary of the American sequel.
I had to turn off my critical thinking while watching it in order to get into it. As a result, I shed tears and worried about the baby (personally, it was not obvious to me that the father would not be able to throw her into the abyss).
VIPs are not disclosed. I was hoping this season would reveal who the VIPs are and how the games were formed. I also really wanted to take revenge on the VIPs. To me, they're the worst villains. I was upset that there was no punishment for them. Vip was very happy for sure that his bet on 222 won.
But unlike others, I believe that the baby was not superfluous. He showed how low it is possible to fall, that people are ready to kill even an innocent baby. And they also left me an orphan.
The line with the detective is really puzzling. It would have been possible to remove her from the plot from seasons 2 and 3, we wouldn't have lost much.
Despite this, I put a 5. Since it was possible to bring out emotions, I looked at it in one breath, it was interesting. Sorry for the good characters. Until the last moment, I hoped that at least Kihun would adopt a girl and come out of there.
In the end, I'm glad that everything turned out well for some. That there was at least some light precipitation after the end of the game.
2. because it's still a movie fairy tale))) fiction)))) this is not a report or a documentary))))
Great ending, as I thought, the ending of this series couldn't be snotty and positive.
As far as I'm concerned, continuing the series would be a controversial idea.
Everything is clear enough - the game will continue until all human vices die out (which means it will continue forever).
I liked the second season less than the third. Good ending, not disappointed at all
It's a pity that Hajun got the role of such a silly girl. 😄
The ending of kringe) Don't they have their own backyard games in America?
The initial mistake was to take a girl to the game for a long time. Her rapid delivery is the second failure. A computer kid who has never even opened his eyes in all the games, like a kitten, is the third fail.
Let's be honest, how many would sacrifice themselves for a child? Few.
I feel sorry for Grandma. Because of my stupid son, I ended up at the game, because of his weakness I had to kill him, and I couldn't go on living (although to me this is also an incomprehensible scenario for the sake of additional tragedy).
In general, how funny and sincere Song Ki-hoon was in season 1 and how sad he became after the victory and then it's just forget it.
The most adequate character of all seasons is the presenter. He did what he had to do, cutting up his rivals. He suggested the most appropriate option for Ki-hoon and the child, but he turned on the idiot mode. He sent the winners' money to the right address. In general, well done.
The games are very interesting, and the new seasons are even better than they were. I only consider the glass tracks from the 1st games and the relay race from the beginning of the 2nd to be unbalanced.
P.S.: Cate Blanchett doesn't like it in principle, but against the background of the sleek Koreans, she somehow doesn't look very good.
If a star of Kate Bae's level is just a street barker-promoter, then I'm afraid to assume who their boss is. McConaughey? DiCaprio? Brad Pitt? 😀
Soooooo maybe they'll find some aging female star and give her a role. Although knowing Fincher's character (and if he is not cajoled with money), he will change everyone and even Cate Blanchett will not be))))
It was not necessary to separate seasons 2 and 3, it would have looked more holistic.
456 and 333 screamed the whole fight, push the button, idiots, but, as expected, the final sacrifice happened. If I'd waited longer, I could have waited for the cop. However, there is no guarantee that both he and the girl would not have been shot.
Was Wee Hajun just to be Wee Hajun? Well, okay. But we could have given him more time, he's a very good actor and can play quite brightly, but here it's like they gave him a shish kebab and forgot to feed him. It's cruel! I still haven't forgiven them for Gong Yu's death at the beginning of the second season)
On the other hand, I understood why I decided to do this. Because he lived with money, he was not happy. And finally I closed the game for myself. So that people don't take it for themselves out of greed.
And why didn't the detective kill?
I thought they'd blow it up.
It turns out that everything was won and the child was handed over to the detective and that legend? I thought I kept it for myself...
@BeataKatamadze: according to the rules, at least 1 person must fall at each stage after PRESSING the button, if no one falls within 15 minutes after pressing, everyone is killed.
456 dropped 333 before the start of the game (since the button is not pressed).
There are several options left:
-----
but he pressed the button after the interview. And they counted anyway, right?
————-
No, the fall of the 333rd is not counted, because it happened before the button was pressed, which means that it was not dropped during the round and not according to the conditions of the game. The fall of Ki Hung himself is counted. If he hadn't jumped off or dropped the baby, both of them would have been eliminated.
There, Hwang Dong Hyuk, Lee Jung Chae, and Lee Byeong Hong discuss the ending of the series and how Kate Blachette learned to play Tag. 😅
So, it's time to have a serious conversation about this cultural phenomenon, already taking into account how the second and third seasons expand the overall picture of the series.
I'll make a reservation right away: I liked the first season individually less than all three together.
"The Squid Game" is often interpreted as a story about the cruel "true" nature of man in the spirit of the film "Saw". The game director (Frontman) repeats a dark thought several times: people are cruel and capable of any kind of atrocities.
That's true, but only partially. The real idea of the series is deeper and is expressed through the main character, Gi Hoon: yes, people can be cruel, but why create conditions where their cruelty will inevitably manifest itself?
The players of the Squid Game are the poor, debtors, refugees, former prisoners, and drug addicts. The lowest class in any country: useless and forgotten. Some have nothing to eat and nowhere to live, while others will be "butchered" for debts in a month. One participant, when asked why she doesn't leave, answers: "There's an even worse fate waiting for me out there."
People on the edge of the abyss are ready to die and kill. Their squid game doesn't start on a secret island, but in the capitals of our countries, in small towns and villages. Such "players" have no more chance of survival in freedom than in a ruthless game.
Some of them sign up for wars — not out of love for a dictator or out of hatred for another nation, but because the army meat grinder is the only social elevator available to them.
In the universe of the "Squid Game" there is another category of characters — the so-called VIP, the viewers of the games. Cynical and vicious, they are also mired in violence and blood, but not from poverty, but from unlimited power and wealth. They are the ones who are exposed by the author of the series, Hwang Dong-hyuk, through the voice of Gi Hoon.
Gi Hong is like any martyr, misunderstood, broken, but principled. He could have lived a different life, but like the Oceanic Six in Lost and Alexei Navalny in 2020, he is coming back, challenging the system.
Gi Hong is absolutely helpless against the forces of evil. No matter what he does, the darkness always wins. And yet he goes to the end, because he can't help it.
"It's the same in the real world: change doesn't happen by the will of a few, it's done by ordinary people like Gi Hoon," says "Squid Game" director Hwang Dong—hyuk, explaining that, according to his plan, real change always comes from below.
"While I was writing, I felt more and more how the world was changing for the worse. Life is getting harder economically, social inequality is deepening," according to Dong—hyuk, at the center of global problems is the selfishness of rich countries and older generations who do not want to part with what they already have.
Gi Hong is an example of a ray of light in a place full of violence and aggression. He can't survive, he can't win, and he can't change anything. But he can remain human. And here lies the key message of the series: when our zone of control is one hundredth of a percent, it remains only to make the best of the worst decisions based on values.
In fact, grandfather and infantil Child Free were put up as operational antagonists. I agree - such a thing))
The strategic antagonist was really pleased with his joke in the form of a bloody tracksuit from Cherkizon as a gift to his daughter))
When they started writing before the season's release that there would be no happy ending for everyone, it was already clear that some interesting movie would happen to 456, although I couldn't imagine that 222 would give birth during the games (I don't remember if they said anything about the duration of her pregnancy).
The release of the season was slightly overstayed, six months passed between the second and third, which were filmed at the same time, during which time some details were forgotten, but it was still interesting to watch.
"We are not horses, we are people."
and 333 nits are certainly rare!
thanks to the authors for showing which of the characters ended up with at least approximately) I hadn't even thought seriously before how many plots related to parents and children there were in the series...
I am very happy for the escaped player and that his daughter has recovered! (but with whose money exactly was the final treatment in the end? Have you made enough money? Hmm...) It's just a pity 011 didn't even tell him who she was! What's so-and-so, we were in the same boat (lol, literally even ahha! xD), though they would pour out their hearts, but maybe they would make friends behind the scenes, she said she would come back!
a detective in the role of a parent of child 222 and with money - that's a twist, however! :D
and it happened! 222 was shown as a normal child, not a crooked graph! Hurray! ahaha!
about daughter 456 - think about it, you're sitting at home, you're not touching anyone, and then someone arrives, brings something from your father, then says that your father is no more, here's an incomprehensible suit covered in blood and a card with a lot of money on it?! It's creepy and sad, but thanks to the game owner for at least this gesture... :(it's not clear what will happen to him next, is someone really going to be pushed into the American version of the series and given a role too? and if not, then that's where the character went, what will he do next? Eh! questions questions ...
Cate Blanchett didn't expect to see, she even seemed to play cool in such a short period of time in the frame!
the series is not without its flaws, but overall it was very interesting to me!!! I will miss the Korean atmosphere! I'm afraid that in the American version, if it happens, they'll stuff a bunch of famous actors, and I'd like to see little-known ones, to be honest, but we'll see.
And of course, I don't really understand the sick fantasy of these "sponsors" who simply reveled in the death of people. 🥴
It would be perfect if we ended up shooting the explosion in the reflection of Ki-hoon's eyes..👁️🔥
I think it was possible to end at the moment when Hwang In Ho suggested that Song Ki-hoon stab everyone at night, that's when you could leave with a child and money, and in my opinion this is the most appropriate end (I understand that it's pointless to discuss, since what was filmed was filmed, but if we assume) and I understand that his goal was to stop all this, but I'm trying to look at this situation soberly.
To me, the main character was made into some kind of naive jerk. What was he always trying to prove to whom? Why was it necessary to try to save everyone? It's just what's the point? They regularly tried to kill him, somehow drain him, and still he tried to help every hypocritical scum, and what was the result? He just gave his life, for what? Also, some kind of nonsense came out, "we are not horses, but people," and what's the use? If you imagine that this is real life, he didn't prove anything to anyone by his death, the rich people who staged these games would just be surprised that there is such a human jerk, they would laugh and continue this whole business.
Therefore, it's just nonsense, it would be better if everything ended on the first season (purely my opinion)
Imagine if they make a sequel about this little girl in the future. Where she grows up and learns about the game, and that her parents participated in it. (It would be interesting to see)
We are human beings...
After all, probably, the rules of the game did not provide for him to be attached somewhere.
But I don't remember about my daughter's money, did there seem to be any conditions in the first season? About transferring money to relatives. Does anyone remember?
In general, I liked the season finale in many ways for its openness. The lines are not exactly unambiguously completed, there is a lot of space for thinking. And that's cool!
The sophistication of the frontman in terms of the brutality of the ordeal is simply heartbreaking. But I have hope that the fact that he couldn't break Kihun in any way changed him to some extent.
Ki Hung just showed him that among a hundred freaks, only one remains human.
That not everyone is capable of killing a baby or slaughtering their enemies in their sleep.
And the Presenter respects him for this, bows to his daughter.
But for him, this will remain a single exception to the general rule.
In fact, Ki Hong, granny, pregnant and trans remained normal people.
Everyone else went crazy out of greed.
And they are capable of empathy, despite the terrible work.
As for the dialogues and views, for the director, this is primarily a social drama.
About the problems of South Korea.
So he focused on them.
And violent games are just a backdrop.
Or you didn't have to try. Play on the fact that the owners of the game will not dare to shoot the baby's mother in front of the VIPs. But it was too difficult to come up with in such a stressful environment, but it would have turned out spectacularly.
In general, it seemed that 222 had solved all the difficult problems that the organizers of the games had with her suicide, thereby moving the plot forward.
Why didn't Ki Hong press the button when he fought in the last challenge? Yes, it was physically difficult, but could he have shouted 333 and waited?? To say that he doesn't want the baby to die. Ki Khan has always been shown to be very smart, but here he so stupidly miscalculated.
What's the fun of committing suicide at the end? How did he know that nothing would happen to the child? He doesn't have ANYONE.
Why didn't the cop believe until the last moment that the captain was a traitor? There wasn't even any doubt. When the captain shot everyone and died, and they showed how the cop was looking at the map, and it DAWNED on him that the captain had crossed out the area where the right island was located, all I had in my head was "OH RLY?" So you still trusted him then??
In the hide-and-seek trial, why did 333 kill 388? Well, WHY? So that what? He's already moved on. 10 minutes ago, they showed how he dissuaded 124 from killing, and then he himself, OUT of NOWHERE, plunged a knife into 388.
And there are so many such staged moments in the last season that it seems like the whole season is made up of them. Heroes do things not because it follows from their character, but because it is necessary for the plot to happen.
In general, the impression is blurred. Especially after season 1, where there was no such feeling.
everything could have ended with just a small massacre of zeroes the night before the vote... stop the game, go out with the money and the crowd, all the adequate heroes would be alive, the child and his mother.. but no, our altruist decided to stage a riot, kill a bunch of people and sacrifice himself in the end..and everyone is like, oh, yes, KiHun is a human being...
I laughed that Inho only handed the child over to his brother after six months... Like, he got enough of playing father, passed the baton to another... and the baby was already born with a pure gold card in her mouth)
But there are still questions, of course... and the system continues to work as it has been working...
Although you probably mean if the dude with glasses had killed her, but he wouldn't have killed the child - in short, all this "pregnant and child" bullshit SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THE SCRIPT!!! - this is stupid!!!
I hope the appearance of Cate Blanchett does not mean that there will be an American version of the series for 100,500 seasons....
Well, as if they had done exactly as the scriptwriters should have done. It's not a matter of luck. It's just that he's one of the few characters you could empathize with until the very end. The rest of the characters were either not fully revealed, or simply did not evolve in any way and remained just stupid. A son with a mother is generally a furor of illusory relationships in the game
All this "democracy", under the guise of which murders must take place strictly according to democratic rules, as a result of fair competition and with complete freedom of choice — to be killed or to kill yourself — leaves no other choice.This is a real caricature of any modern capitalist regime, where only the competition of everyone with everyone gives the chance to survive to the strongest, most cunning, and most often the meanest.
The show's clients, billionaires from other countries, embody modern imperialists, for whose interests ordinary people are dying. A very important humanistic motif of the series allows you to reach out to ordinary people, showing the powerful in the form of customers of a bloody game.
More importantly, the series emphasizes that this game needs to try to remain human and break the rules set from above.
10/10
Ki Hong won again, but lost this victory to the baby.
Because he's a good person.
But most people aren't like that.
And Ki Hong's sacrifice could not change them.
Therefore, the Show must go on.
As for the money, he's such a naive and honest detective.
He can spend them on something good.
And save a lot of lives with this blood money.
It is unlikely that he will spend everything on whores and golden toilets.
There should definitely be a spinoff.
Humanity wins, self-sacrifice, principle, and personal choice.
Not everything and not for everyone.
There was only one oddity that confused me, the policeman was so stubbornly going towards the goal of catching the organizers of the game and, in fact, he was left with nothing. Okay, they've grounded him now as a kid who can be fantasized about, saying if you mind his own business, he'll pay, but six months have passed since the game and why did he leave everything so easily? In my opinion, there is a gaping hole here.
I'm afraid of only one thing. They left on a high note and, as if the continuation had not descended into self-repetition and banality. There really aren't many topics related to games. Self-sacrifice, love, hope, greed, anger, lust, addiction, and fear. All this was fully revealed in these 3 seasons. Fincher will have to try not to lower the bar.
So to speak, he will get a chance to correct the mistakes he made while raising his own daughter, and thus, having received motivation to live, he will give up trying to destroy the games. But of course, I also understand this utopia.
It was necessary either to let Ki-hung survive and in some kind of the most rigid cynical manner. Like he unwittingly became the "star" of the game, even outliving a baby (xs how, like, when trying to save a mother with a baby or this guy, it turned out that in the end he still survives)
Then there would be malicious sarcasm in the series: the person who wanted to stop the game became a part of it. (Hello masked man).
Or it was necessary to somehow connect the branch with the detective... but the creators thought it was an obvious piano in the bushes and thought, "Why not just do nothing here."
In short, it's like the script was written with a shovel.
The rest is already forced.
I didn't understand the moment, why was daughter 222 entrusted to a detective?🧐
The real winner is player 246, the dad who survived and the daughter who was cured 💔
The series was definitely suspenseful and had a great finish. However, I expected a deeper denouement about the Northerner. Left it open
They showed the connections of Se Baek's brother with his mother, ahhh 😭😭😭
The ending with Cate Blanchett was unexpected 🤯 A reference to the new season in the USA?🥹
They didn't even say a word about the investigation. What the hell is this? Like they run all the presidents or what? Have you dropped to the level of a survival game?
The detective's line is empty, stretched out for the sake of timing. His meeting with my brother just finished me off. He shouted and swam back.
Ki-hoon was simply sidelined in this part of the season. And there were also many moments of his "woodenness": to take the same rope and the final game.
Increased the number of characters who broke through the bottom. I didn't like the setting of the final game at all.
When the baby appeared and became a player, it immediately became clear that he would be the winner.
Granny's team had the coolest line, 222 and 120, and it hurt the most for them. I also liked the 246th and 11th lines, and I'm glad they're doing well. Although all the moments of the artist's rescue were as predictable as possible.
As a result, it was possible to finish safely on season 1, but the desire to earn always takes its toll. Greed leads to a bad outcome: we saw this both in the series itself and in the implementation of its "sucked out of the finger" sequel.
The series touches on a lot of social themes, themes of relationships and the human gut. There's a lot to think about. But the main thing is that this is one of the few series that evokes so many emotions. And it's not even about the picture or the games, but about how people behave very differently in the same situation. Makes you wonder what kind of player I would be?
Unfortunately, with all the desire and integrity of the 456th, it is impossible to stop a huge machine with these "games".
I still see commenters from social networks in VIPs. It's straight one-on-one >_< from this point of view, it's especially interesting to read the comments here, as a separate director's version comes out - take each comment, add a billionaire to it, and it's straight.
Of course, it's a pity for Gi Hoon, and many other characters, but here perhaps the victory of the baby girl was quite readable. And although the island was eventually found and the entire team was forced to evacuate, the American takji hints at the end that the games themselves have not gone away and are continuing in some other place. Maybe even in the same America or somewhere nearby.
Hopefully, the spin-off won't be long in coming. This series has opened up a whole universe and raised many questions.
In the meantime, the game is over! Everyone is free, so to speak, let's go)
I would like to believe in the best, but one could not expect a happy ending from this story. People are greedy and cruel, so the games will continue and are unlikely to end.
I feel a little sorry for the policeman, he went to this for so long and ended up with nothing. Of course, thanks to the girl, he got a comfortable life, but at the cost of the lives of all these people ...
I'm glad for the sniper that she survived, saved the life of another and maybe found a daughter.
Kate's appearance in the finale surprised me, I didn't expect to see her here!
I haven't heard about the American version before, but if Fincher shoots Blanchett, uh, I think it will be fire.
No, of course, I was extremely skeptical after the second season, but there was still some hope. But oh my God. The ending absolutely killed the whole atmosphere of the series.
And how cool and impressive it all started!!fresh plot, new faces, vibrant acting! Unpredictable turns!
And where is all this? It feels like the last 2 episodes of the plot just stood still (not that it was moving briskly before, but at least it wasn't standing)
Ki Hung's death, though not surprising, seemed completely ridiculous. And that pathos... So much pathos, but for what??? He never got the games cancelled.
I saved the child, that's understandable, but this child was only there for the drama. Remove the baby, and what would happen? I think it could have been even better, but as it is, well, everything was clear from the very moment he was born.
And I wonder where this child was for six months, and why he was thrown to the ex-cop so late?
Oh yes, the ending got me, in a bad way!
What the hell is Cate Blanchett??
No, I love this actress, but how caricatured was it? If this episode was added to make fun, then the goal has been achieved! But seriously, how inappropriate was that...
a Korean children's game in the setting of a Los Angeles alley? Yes, even if Gong Yu were there, it would still look strange.
In the end, I'm not exactly disappointed. You can't be disappointed by something you didn't expect... I was just watching this season in the background. If it's 4, I probably won't watch it.
456 I've said three words all season, pushed into the background, and for what... In general, the season is no worse than the second, but they both lose heavily to the 1st.
The American game is absolutely not inspiring.
But in any case, the series is cool because it keeps you in suspense in literally every episode. The third season was the most violent, because for me, the worst thing is when people are forced to kill each other.
The happy ending didn't happen... it's a pity.
But the honesty of the organizers is simply amazing)
It's good that the series is over, it would be really bad next.
The feeling remained that the finale was shot in a hurry on the knee. It's kind of disrespectful to the audience, but the audience for the series is huge.
It was also unpleasant to look at the propaganda of procreation. I understand that the issue is acute in Korea, but what does this have to do with viewers from the rest of the world? Why would I look at attempts to raise demographics in Korea? Suck up this agenda in dramas that don't enter the global market. In the interview, the director tried to cover it up with some religious motives. No comment, again, the year 2025 is in the yard, and everything is the same for us.…
In short, the aftertaste remained such that it even became a pity to pay for a subscription to Netflix.
When the creators start ranting about the "agenda"... KMK is an attempt to put a good face on a so-so game. If you have a secondary plot, then you need to attract attention somehow. Conversely, a well-made movie does not require additional curtsies towards social problems.
Cate Blanchett is a luxury!
I was glad that the lines from the first season were closed.
But what is the outcome? Are those who have money invincible?
PS: how to get rid of the song from the doll game "run, freeze" in my head 😅 has been playing for days. The main thing is not to hear her in a dark alley 😂😂
They threw the franchise like a hot potato in exactly the right way so that you could say "the king is dead. Long live the king."
Although, as far as I'm concerned, without the initial WOW effect, all the previous seasons will just be a variation of the show "The Last Hero" with a fatal outcome. Chewing gum will taste less and less good each time.
That is, I was sure that one way or another he was not a tenant, but I thought that he would die in the fight against the system, and not fall to a senseless death like another of those whom it crushed.
Well, it wasn't enough to take revenge on the peasants of the gentlemen who live on their blood and bones, laughing at the mess in the mud for survival.
But while the show is making money, the corporation will be milking our reality, and we will watch, because he is the master go show.
And so the most depressing ending, of course, is Asian fatalism and love of tragedy in all its glory.Well, at least the hero Lee Byung Ho realized something and acted according to his conscience.
It was a great season, but my soul needed a different outcome.
Let's start with the pros
1) Interesting challenge games- well, words are superfluous here, I think after the first game everyone was wondering what other games the organizers would throw at the players. There's no digging in here.
2) Cool scenery - a room with steps where players walk before moving on to the games themselves (the same game is quieter, you'll go on as an example)
3) The actors and their acting- as far as I'm concerned, everyone does a good job and plays their characters. Personally, I didn't have any complaints about playing roles.
Turning to the cons, I emphasize that I no longer remember in detail the ending of the 1st season, which some criticized (and I have no desire to review about 9 hours of the first season), so I will outline it in general terms.
4) I liked the ending as a whole, except for the detective line, that's on the downside. I liked that the Dream preserved humanity at the cost of his life, although he could easily survive. And in general, the series shows that kind and honest people in this game are unlikely to survive (we remember the grandmother with her son and Young Joo) So Song Ki-hoon held on for a very long time and with dignity.
4) Yeah, our boy Kihunchik, whose hero we don't deserve, has lived up to his expectations. No matter how weak season 2-3 came out, I love this character and am glad that his story ended so nobly. 💔
This is much better than turning into a villain (which some expected) — it would be a complete drain of the hero's development down the toilet.
1) A cliffhanger ending that many people didn't like (I remember at the time of release). But considering how popular the series has become, it would be foolish to expect otherwise.
2) I find the division of the 2nd and 3rd seasons a bad decision. For me, season 3 feels like the second half of the second. If they had released it entirely, it would have felt much better.
3) The voting moments were just an empty stretch of time and remained (apart from the moment with the exact number of votes in season 2) they are not interesting to follow, it is already clear to everyone that the final round will be there is no intrigue (in a good way, these moments can even be skipped) This is not the first season where they literally stopped the game by voting.
4) Has she at least come to something with the detective? I was hoping that in the end he would be able to get at least some evidence that showed that all these games were real, but he did not find them. However, he has a living witness of those games, can you tell me what's wrong with this guy? Otherwise, it seems that the detective just gave up on everything and let him go. This is strange.
In general, to sum up, this series is not some kind of unshakable masterpiece for me, but those moments that I liked awaken a feeling in me, And maybe I can review it later or when there is time. For me, it's a confident 8/10.
Just what good are they? It was even a whole quest to find the island, and now everything there has been completely destroyed.
At the same time, the detective himself did not seek to stop the games. His motivation was always "bro bro bro, my brother gave me a kidney, my brother is missing, my brother is looking for me, why are you shooting my brother?" and that's it. And he didn't really care about the players, he didn't do anything to save them.
Please don't take any more pictures.
But 333 is a real scum, he had no humanity, you can't even call him a father. I wanted to dump my child- he's just an animal who got what he deserved.
One of those rare cases when the series was able to be completed on time, and even at the peak of popularity) Yes, of course, these games will be missed, this Korean vibe is incomparable, in the American "Squid Game" there will be a completely different vibe)
Therefore, I am looking forward to the American version that they will come up with there)
This season is so intense, so many events happened in each episode that you can't even remember everything, I just got high and swallowed up this season in one gulp)
It turned out to be a great series!
there is you and your newborn baby on the column. it is necessary to lose one, the second is given 2 lard rubles. What will you do?
— Why are you doing this?
"You love horse racing." People are the same horses at the races.
With his act, Kihun gave an answer — he did not lose his human face, he treated people like people, even in the finals he was ready to play fair with lots (whereas Inho cheated in the finals and stabbed the players at night), and how he expressed his attitude towards this filthy crowd of VIPs and organizers. They themselves are more animals than people, rather than a Kihun player who performed a sacrificial human act. Something like this
Imho, Inho did not "cheat", but played by animal rules, considering them the only true ones. Kihun proved that animal morality, including horse morality, is inferior to human morality. Having lost in the duel of ideals, Inho embarked on the path of correction, and in the end committed several noble deeds. Kihun did not physically defeat the main villain, but he ignited a spark of goodness in him, guided him to the righteous path, as Jesus did and still does.
"I'm not your horse = I'm not your toy, not entertainment, not a puppet," but a living person.
This is not a universal metaphor. Here, the comparison of horses with something disenfranchised is exclusively contextual. If Inho hadn't compared humans and horses, then why would Kihun have mentioned this phrase all the time?
Outside of the context of the series, what are horses associated with? Beauty, grace, freedom, the power of nature.
If Kihun had said, "I'm not a circus monkey" or "I'm not a guinea pig," it would have been a universal metaphor with the same meaning. But it was Inho who made the comparison with horses.
And Kihun has any complaints about horses as animals?) It even sounds crazy.
I actually dropped out on "horse morality")))
Firstly, it makes no sense to talk about animal morality by definition, because animals do not think about good and evil.
And secondly, do you associate horses with cruelty, betrayal, and bloodlust for fun?) Seriously?) Neither wolves of any kind, nor other predators? Horses.... Okeeyey))
It seems to me that you underestimate horses for nothing. Being in a herd, they are capable of showing aggression, cunning, and cruelty to their relatives. With a single hoof kick, both a dog and a cat can be killed.
Horses are not predators, they are herd animals with all the disadvantages of this method of survival. Whereas predators are the top of the food chain and evolution in general. Therefore, Kihun does not accept being treated like herd cattle. He needs more freedom, more will. And at the beginning of the second season, he became a predator himself, preying on the organizers of the game. However, I did not calculate the strength — in the end I had to put pressure on the moral principles, on the conscience of the villains.
1) To see the dark sides of people ≠ to equate people with animals, as In Ho did. Kihun also saw when bandits threatened to take out his organs later, at the games, but he did not adopt In Ho's philosophy.
2) What does it mean to "step over yourself"? Go to the games? So 500 people go every year. He became a presenter after his wife's death, when there was no need for it. He could have lived for his own pleasure, provided a rich life for his brother and parents, but he didn't.
3) We cannot know that In Ho's game even had a vote. The format in which it was held in the 2-3 season after each round is generally a fierce indulgence. In season 1, there would have been no voting if San Wo hadn't noticed the clause in the contract. And the money condition in season 1 was different — the players who left would not have received anything. So we have no reason to believe that Ying Ho was not allowed to play his game, or that he wanted to play at all.
4) Was Kihun depressed by the death of his elderly, sick mother? That's all? Are we ignoring everything that happened at the games? No matter how harsh it may sound, at this age, the death of an 80+ year-old mother is not a trauma, but a cruel reality that you need to be prepared for. I don't want to impose interpretations, but it's obvious to me that it was the games that hurt him.
5) About the frontman's child and the abduction — it's already fanfiction here. Nowhere have we been shown hatred, dislike, or even a sidelong glance from Ying Ho towards the organizers. Nowhere has it been shown that he is being forced. On the contrary, he looked at Il Nam as if he were a father, and seemed even envious of his connection with Kihun. He did it all of his own free will. Because he doesn't have anything more important or meaningful in his life anymore. He didn't even spend money and didn't live in a big way. There were only games left in his life, and that was the whole answer.
456 - you will remain in everyone's memory as a hero who tried to save all those he could. And in the end, he sacrificed himself.
It's a good thing they didn't forget about his daughter either.
There may be a continuation of this game, but the players of this season will be remembered for a long time.
I want to add one last thing, because I'm not the only one who thinks 001 is the cutest and most charismatic?🥰😁
the series is bad. games are boring, and a beau monde who watches boring games (well, just imagine how it looks from the outside) and spends tons of money on it is implausible. the acting of almost all the minor characters is simply disgusting (mom and son are just ashamed to look at it). The logic of the characters' actions leaves much to be desired. I'm going to kill a traitor - I caught a traitor - I looked into his eyes - I let the traitor go -I walk-I wander around the location in search of nothing- oh! Caught a gypsy girl - * go kill the traitor!!* - I'm going to kill a traitor. and this kind of nonsense is just in many places. and I don't even want to describe what happened at the last game and before, it's just nonsense.
in short, a wretched and rotten series that I wish I hadn't watched.
Okay, seriously, I understand the path of the gr. At the beginning of the second season, he was like a fighter for justice. I thought I could figure it out, but I failed. A kind of hero's fall. I understand the refusal to kill – if you can't change others, start with yourself. An attempt to show himself first of all that he is still a human being.
But killing 388 doesn't fit in at all. It would have been fine if Ki Hong had killed him in a mass brawl, but no. At first, he gloomily devoured him with his eyes, and then naturally pursued him during the game. He was chasing with only one goal – to kill. OK, I can understand anger, impotence, the desire to take out rage on someone... moreover, 388 is still to blame. But then Ki Hong meets Ying Ho, a man who first pretended to be his own, and then killed his comrade in cold blood. And... nothing happens.
Or did it mean that Ki Hong didn't care that much anymore? Are the emotions gone and there's nothing left?
and when he met Ying Ho, Ki Hoon was already out of terminator mode.
There was an episode where Dae Ho wakes up, stretches, as if nothing had happened. And he ate calmly, as if nothing had happened. That's probably what broke Ki-hoon. If 388 had shown any remorse or self-flagellation, everything would have turned out differently.
Although it still doesn't fit well into the general outline. At the end of the first season, when Ki-hoon opposed Sang-woo, both the logic and the emotional intensity of both characters were felt. Right here... it seems logical, it seems like there are emotions too, but everything is wrong.
But what memes turned out with Ki Hoon and Dae Ho! I still laugh like the first time I see Ki Hoon killing Dae Ho with his eyes while listening to some funny music 😂
Well, the grief detective is, of course, generally a song. Why was his story arc, they also left him a child with a lot of money 🤌🏻
And so the series is cool, but I don't know if the American version will look the same, the Korean faces have already been fixed. 😄
But after seeing Gi Hong's act, she decided that if she could save any child's life, then it was worth living for. In short, he inspired her with his act and she went to help that sick little girl.
Plus, the motivation of the organizer of the games is completely incomprehensible to me personally. On the one hand, he manages the cruelest spectacle, on the other hand, he continues to show some humane qualities. And then what is his motivation to be this game planner? How does he manage to look at it all without flinching, if he hasn't lost the ability to be compassionate yet?
Now there will be an American "squid game," they promised in the 27th year.
The child's father is a disgusting scambag, VIPs are generally cardboard villains from a children's book, story 11 could have just been removed from the series and nothing would have changed, why would it too? It seems like a good season, but they seem to have stuffed so much unnecessary stuff.
And he still fulfilled his mission, he found the island. And if he had arrived a little later, he would have found a celebration of the winner and a farewell party, where everyone was already drunk, and that's where he would have arrested everyone.
Overall, it turned out to be a good series. It will be remembered
And the next question is: what value are those people who died in the last game (except GG)?
The series has slipped
Alice in Wonderland - watch this 2-season series (not anime)
and thank you.
As a result, the line with the policeman is not particularly needed. And due to the fact that the season consists of almost 13 episodes, the games themselves somehow got lost in the background, although they were generally not bad.
They've already said everything about the baby story, but come on.
In the end, it's a pity for all the good people again, I hoped that 222 would live, as a result, only the father of the girl with cancer survived, but I'm glad that she recovered.
I'll take a look at the Fincher spin-off, but the only thing I want from the series is for the games to be more interesting and intelligent, so that at least a little bit like in Alice in Wonderland, so that people use intelligence and logic, not stupid physical skills.
If the season had come out all at once and it had been less protracted, I would have put a solid seven, but I liked the first half at 7, especially the uprising, and the second half at 5.
The ending would be a great Easter egg for the American spin-off "The Squid Game." But Hwang Dong-hyuk explained that the ending of the series was not created to prepare for this spin-off, but to create a spectacular ending that highlights the idea of how the system is inevitably reborn. Lee Byung-hong also stated in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he is ready to return to the role if Netflix gives the green light. According to him, the story of In Ho, the winner of the last game, and then the supervisor, is "very interesting and deserves a separate story." The actor also fueled interest in a possible project while participating in Jimmy Fallon's tonight show. He said that he discussed the idea with the director of "The Squid Game" Hwang Dong-hyuk, but stressed that while everything is at the stage of ideas, no official production has begun.
I would be interested to see Ying Ho's story in full.
Who wants to play the game?😅
A complete hat!
Dumb Dialogues are too long
Ruined the show
2) KiHun campaigned on people's votes in season 2. In 3m, I was grieving for a friend and lost motivation. If he came HERE to do everything to stop it, why didn't he continue? After the bridge with jumps, it would be very possible to play on people's emotions. Anyway, Ki Hong's voice could have had an effect too— the butterfly effect. Some people made decisions just by looking at the monitor. 3) The baby can't vote, but the last game is with the push of a button?) 4) SHOOTER 11: Why did she send the player she was rescuing to his death on a tracked boat? Why did 11 shooters burn the archive? Did she send the player she was rescuing to his death on a tracked boat? Warn the families of the players against surveillance and so on? She threatened to kill the "guests", but for some reason, when she returned, she decided to burn the archive, rather than, at least motivated by revenge, to remove these people. It was just during the game and before the evacuation. Can you imagine how the game would have turned out if she had intervened?|| As for me, an unfinished point.
There are no questions at all. At least there are a lot of questions about the series.
Fuck, I thought this wasn't the end. What's the point, then, of having a few key characters?
The authors probably wanted to have something to think about after the ending, but there's really nothing to think about. Everything is normal. It's not like the Koreans
On the one hand, it's good that child 222 won, on the other hand, according to the rules, it was worth half a ruble to include him as a separate player altogether, if not for this, 456 would technically have won again, moreover, 456 would have won with the child with 99% probability if he had stabbed the others at night, but did not do so because that "he's not that kind of person" as the late player from season 1 told him (I'm sorry, I don't remember the number anymore), which he saw the night before the last game, which already served as a hint to himself that he would die in the last game, but he still didn't kill anyone, which indicates that that, unlike most players, these games did not change him, and he voted for cancellation until the last moment and abstained when he realized that they would continue anyway, regardless of his vote.
So in the last game, the main thing for 456 was to save child 222, as he promised - he kept his promise - the child survived - a kind of happy ending.
The games are over — that's why 456 went to participate in them twice!, knowing what they are and realizing that the chance of survival is slim — which means it was not in vain.
456 won the games twice, but the first time he won by coming out of them alive and with money, and the second time the victory was the fire in his eyes from the self-destruction explosions of the base of the games and the rescue of the child 222.
I was upset that there would be other versions, because literally the whole series showed how fucked up it all was. Gi Hong was in favor of stopping the game all the time, even if he was furious. And we are literally the very audience that Gi Hong has been fighting against all along to show that we are not horses, but people.
Thus, for those who are tired of such far-fetched social dramas, the plot easily turns into a fascinating psychological thriller led by a schizophrenic maniac.
But about the ending and its place in the image of GG, I'll leave five (not in volume, sorry) kopecks.
After watching it, I went into the comments and saw something unexpected — they say, such a bright, highly moral person, a ray in the dark kingdom, was not given a happy ending. Mmmm. Okay, I see. After a while, this point of view caught me in a lively discussion, and I wanted to mention a couple of points about Ki Hoon's storyline.
Which, for example, begins with him killing his mother. A healthy, able-bodied peasant sat on an old woman's neck, ravaged her pockets, and spent everything he had on horse racing. I canceled my insurance, and when my mother developed diabetes and couldn't get treatment or rest, who was to blame? Surely the collectors or the owners of the sweepstakes, the Ministry of Health, / enter the necessary/ — after all, the world is full of villains.
He's interested in his daughter, plus or minus, on the same level. After the diner from the first episode, there wasn't a single time where he didn't ignore it or forget it. Starting with attention — call, congratulate, visit. Continuing to participate in life, both before and after winning.
It's the same with other people and your own promises. An example is the scene where he tricked his grandfather into taking marbles, and then becomes hysterical about his dishonesty in return. Another example: a girl from North Korea asked to help her brother and find her mother — the question of insignificance went to the same shelf where communication with her daughter was gathering dust, lay there for a year and would have continued if her grandfather had not invited her to philosophize and inspired her with a scene with a freezing homeless man.
For the first half of the games, he tries to reason with people and get out by voting (the script plays along, allowing him to get away with the money). But at the moment when the voices are even and there is an option to catch opponents who will attack with 100% probability by surprise, he suggests another plan — to distract them with his physically weak supporters, five of them (+ possible volunteers from those who did not have time to kill the blues) to take control of a garrison of unknown numbers in an unknown area, including the leader... and persuade them to stop the games on their word of honor, never to hold them again (previously there were scenes where employees were killed not only for selling organs, but also for taking off their masks), and the survivors were released in peace. The result is a bit predictable.
Since reflection requires a spark of reason and works with the concept of ethics, and the character cannot afford either, he goes back into the shit-hole mode. He is not traditionally to blame, but the issue of countering the organizers was resolved in a way that was understandable even to Ki Hong, so what? He found the last one he could handle, a guy who tried to help and got scared, or had a panic attack. If he had informed the stores, everything would have burned out, of course. You can't get away with this.
After all, if you scream loudly, decisively and for a long time how immoral others are and how your own coat shines, you will convince both the audience and yourself of this, regardless of actions, consequences and motives.
When it comes to the ending, part of the audience wants to see it like this: GG gets out and lives happily, unwinds an international, technologically advanced and investor-rich organization, the games stop at least in Korea forever and ever. Amen. Or: GG forgets the mantra about horses — the only trait of his character and the red thread of the author's morality (we are talking about the flagship of Netflix with a huge audience) — and becomes the host himself. A curtain.
But I like the wording I saw somewhere above. "For the first time in my life, I did something useful." 1. I saved a man who didn't subscribe to this shit. 2. I finally found (or rather, the scriptwriters found) a way to convey a humanistic message that influenced two more people, changing their views and lives — the presenter and the guard who changed her mind about shooting herself. Even the investors were silent, like a guard. Almost a biblical denouement) And in my opinion, with such an introduction — the hero's goal and resources (an ordinary man against a global shadow organization) — this is the maximum exhaust for him and the best ending within the framework of the idea and genre of the series.
But I'm glad they stopped this season and didn't pull the cat by the causal place. Because at the moment of viewing, there was already a feeling of tightness. If they had even tried for season 4, they would have ruined everything.
I will write briefly about Ki Hoon separately. I didn't expect a happy ending for him at all. Considering how it all started, the character had traveled such a path that it was very predictable that he would be taken out of the narrative line in the finale.
Honestly, I don't even see any other option. Well, he would have walked away with the winnings and the child from the games, as a repeat winner... So what? His goal was to destroy the game as such. Having returned to the ordinary world with money and a child, he would most likely have gone like a cuckoo against the background of unfulfilled plans to destroy the game. So... this ending was logical for him.
, as we were shown that 2 times one player cannot become the winner (without buns from the admin)
, but I did not understand why the detective was entrusted with the daughter of 222
too many questions and so few answers
In general, I was not thrilled with the third season, even the second one, when the games started, still gave me hope, my expectations were not fulfilled. The plot of the final one seemed very stretched, like they were trying to touch a nerve, but it's the same rake that we jumped on perfectly in the first part of the series, with all the rigidity, greed, suffering, nothing new... There were moments when I found myself thinking that I was still waiting for the end to come. I don't even want to talk about the police line and the search for the island, I still don't understand what this is about, as well as the girls from North Korea. for the sake of timing.
As for me, they might not have dispersed the whole gang (it would be illogical at all), but at least somehow let the plot take an unexpected course regarding the winner of the games, but alas... predictable.
The only mistake was to divide season 2 into 2 parts, if everything were the same, it would be chic.
The last episode is predictable, although I hoped that either one of the VIPs would interfere by showing humanity, which would also not be a bad approach from the scriptwriters. tipo 456 overcame the system with his act, or his brother or 11 would interfere with the finale.
I watched the first season thinking, "Well, I'll watch it, because everyone's watching. It's kind of bullshit.."
And starting from season 2, I realized that I fell in love with this series. Survival, dynamics, heroes, atmosphere.... Just wow!
What I can say briefly about the series:
I liked it:
– The atmosphere — with each episode the tension grows
– Strong characters, especially the main one — you really worry about him. And for many others, too
– The idea is simple, but it works great. I was really hooked
– Many of the characters evoke affection, and yes, there were tears. Without shame
I didn't like it:
– The ending is... well, like this. Blurred and incomplete, as if
- A lot remained unanswered, as if the author waved his hand: "Ah, I'll explain later"
I read in the comments that?Like what? they are planning to shoot a similar American TV series.... I don't know how true it is, but I would like to watch it)
100% will be released in 2-3 years.
Somehow the pattern breaks that they kill people but at the same time everything is fair. Money to the winners, in the case of 456 of his daughter....
It's just not clear why it was necessary to divide one game into 2 seasons. We would just make a sequel to 2.
I completely liked the series, it was very exciting to watch the games. But there's been a lot of unnecessary chatter in recent episodes.
I'm not thrilled with the finale, and in principle with the entire 2-3 seasons, there was no need for it..
The policeman spent all these 12 episodes searching for this damn island, but people were dying, so what??? Shout "hey, brother, why" and that's it...or he flashed in the plot just so that they would give him a child with money as a result.
of course, these 2 seasons are more about feelings, especially "season 3"
even the damn curator, well, sooooo got into 456, he identified with himself and it was obvious that he was sorry when he jumped.
It's like 3 suicides in season 1, it's powerful, maybe my voice acting was cut out, but I thought right now they were putting a disclaimer on this, if two people are clearly self-sacrificing for the sake of a child, then grandma...
this "rebel", the fact that she saved a man, then threw him to the mercy of fate and he was stupidly lucky to be found...
burned his documents, and then the base was blown up to hell, as if her actions were then completed by others. Purely by accident.
and here's the moment in the finale..It really cheered me up, maybe there will be an American version? xs will it be interesting, but we'll see if there's anything to watch😄
The ending isn't bad, but it turns out the games won't stop, and that makes victim 456 meaningless in its original idea. He didn't prove anything to the organizer. Making a sacrifice for the sake of a child is already a "sub-task."
I still consider the organizer to be the most to blame, not the "consumers." After the death of his grandfather, this is the frontman, the brother of a policeman. In fact, this is human traffic (selling people). So even though the VIPs are as nasty as possible and it happens with their money, and they try to show the frontman as interestingly as possible, he is the main evil (of the characters we know), and no good deeds will justify him. A lot of children were left without mothers and fathers because of him, including the winner, and you see, he brought money to his daughter.
But 456 tried to reach out, it's a pity it didn't work out to the end. But in general, Gi Hong is not a friend of argumentation, he could have given a lot more arguments for the players, he had five whole days. That is, it's not that he couldn't come up with anything right away, he just kept quiet and didn't try.
The talk about extending the series passed me by, I only read it here, so the final scene was a sad but interesting point of the story. In the form of a colon, it's already so-so.
Animal masks emphasize the lack of morality, because animals do not know about good and evil. And Kihun made sure that an absolutely innocent, immaculate, pure child emerged victorious from the game. Now the prize money will be used for good deeds)
So you agree that it was cheese in a mousetrap, not on a platter? And the recruiter was not the one who wants to help, but the one who wants to make money from them. And those who already had an addiction that ruined them got into the game. How can you change your mindset if the game organizers are using an existing thinking bug? I'm giving you an idea - you can gather drug addicts and let them fight for a dose. Should alcoholics fight for a year's supply of vodka? The organizer can make good money.
>> Games put people out of their misery.
It was like we were watching different games. On the contrary, they cause suffering in the Game, and condemn their families to suffering, leaving them with debts.
Yes, gamblers are not the smartest people in life, they got into debt because they failed to calculate the consequences of their actions. Just like they got involved in the Game without knowing the conditions, respectively, without having information that they have no chance of surviving in it. It's their problem, but not their fault.
Whereas the organizer of the games completely consciously arranges a meat grinder for a salary for the amusement of those who are willing to pay for it.
If there are fewer players, they will raise the amount of winnings or steal people. It doesn't matter, there will be a demand for blood games, there will be a suggestion.
If drugs are freely available or even free of charge from any age, then at least educate yourself, there will be no fewer addicts.
You're discussing movies, but this kind of thing exists in real life - anyone on the planet can become a victim of human traffic. Human trafficking brings in the most illegal money, followed by weapons and drugs. It will never stop if you don't fight the organizers. And the organizers are always organized crime, not individuals. And the earnings are such that they feed entire organizational structures. In the film, they have so much money that it allowed them to occupy the island, build a separate complex on it (it costs billions), digitalize (millions), hire a bunch of people, weapons (millions). Employees are paid insane amounts of money for silence (millions).
Where such money is spinning, there will be goods. Or if I start grabbing players on the street by force, will you suddenly change your mind about orgies?
You blame the victims and hold them accountable, justifying the real criminals. The world won't change if you don't fight criminals. Impunity exacerbates division, with the rich living richer, the poor poorer, and becoming more dependent -> a self-reinforcing cycle. But the destruction of the island threw the Orgs back.
You are probably very young, and you are sure that you will always be okay with money only because of your upbringing)) By the way, there were not only addicts in the game, but also those who had failed in business. Overconfidence is often the source of such problems.
A, so parenting is no longer able to solve all problems and just raise non-criminals? Well, then the phrase applies exactly the same to the players.
The whole concept is completely improbable.
There are fights without rules, all kinds of MMA. There are real wars (with meaning, for the sake of something). Both are much more "mature" if someone rich and powerful wants to look at death.
I don't believe anything they've shown us here.
Not in my right mind, but we were shown what kind of rabble they are gathering for this game, there are only desperate people there, they either have this game or nothing. And besides, people used to enter the arena of gladiatorial games for money, not everyone was a slave, and the essence was generally known in advance.
I'm really sorry for Song Ki-hoon. He was a kind man..
It's a shame for a policeman, of course. The topic of the brothers' relationship has not been disclosed. The lead goat, of course. Did he like Gihun more than his own brother? That I flew all the way to America for that. It's kind of weird. The topic of the presenter is also not particularly disclosed, I wanted more.
Overall, I liked the series)
We could have come up with another game for the recruiter.
It feels like everything didn't work out all at once to milk the fans longer. The second season was just as cool as the first, and the script for the third one seemed to be written on my knee. It's kind of messy, but it's kind of stretched, smeared, and dull.
Three suicides in a season and no good sense?
If the ending had been different, I think the series would have become a modern classic, without these "windows" for a new series with an American version.
These VIP clients are generally boring shit, in these tasteless Simaland masks. With these "genius" lines. Oh, those rich, cruel Europeans who rejoice at the death of Koreans. I felt the fiercest cringe when they were shown for some reason and their reaction to the "game".
I don't even know what to approach, because it's BAD from all sides. There is no explanation why this game was invented, what the story of these brothers is and what their problem is (yes, they were talked about, but little), why this matron was shown.
I understand that this season they wanted to show that people are ready for anything for the sake of children. A father who decided to participate in the game for the sake of his sick daughter. The matron who decided to help him because she had lost her child. Gg, who saves someone else's child because he was a bad father to his own. A grandmother who kills her son for someone else's baby. A trans woman fighter who died for someone else's baby. I still didn't understand what it was about. It's a strange topic with children and parents. And the ending, where the organizer of the game shyly looks into the distance and that the game continues anyway.… No censorious words or reactions, just a simple "what the fuck?" question.
I really don't like the fact that the questions that were asked in the first two seasons were not answered.
Brother, brother shouting to brother why, and he is driving epically slowly and silently underground on a platform... because his baby's kidney was not enough, so he became a copy of Hitler along the way. And how his conscience woke up is ridiculous, of course. Before that, thousands of people had died in front of his eyes, but his conscience was awakened by a demented man who jumped off the platform to save the baby (he could not be sure that the baby would really be saved). I doubt that this is possible in reality, the sociopath who made him would have been fine, he would have said bring a shovel and scrape this sucker off the ground, we won't mess with the baby either.
The first season suggested that greed and greed dehumanize. And that the further a person goes, the more he loses his mind, common sense. Chasing after excessive resources won't make you happy.
The second season says the same thing. I wanted to believe that they would somehow show the same idea from a different angle.
In the third season, they showed that everyone was stupid, there was no point, and also take care of babies at the cost of their lives ????
Like how to finish, we'll finish as unexpectedly as possible. It's really unexpected, because it's as dumb as possible. I can't say that this is a non-standard approach or an original solution. It's just a fucked-up piece of art that's become trash, like thousands of dramas before it.
Ki Hoon is very sorry🥲 But there were guesses that he would sacrifice himself for the sake of the child (quite obviously)
Some of the key characters were never fully revealed, it's sad.…
The series itself came out quite well, the first experience with Korean TV series, I was satisfied with watching.
In my opinion, the main problem of the series is that there is a division only into black and white, bad and good. They took up moralizing, but against the background of cheap manipulations and flirtations with taboo topics, both evil and good are caricatured, and the plot armor is not penetrated at all. But we are not horses, and horses are not us)
He's really changed after so many years.. But he was lonely, alone, and he left..
In the end, I thought that this girl would be given this child.🙂
There was a hope that in the end they would tell us the story of the creation of these games.
It's a great series, and when you watch it, you just feel a wave of different emotions.
And hope, laughter, sadness, sometimes even to the point of tears..
I even completely forgot that only one person can win in this game.. I thought Gi Hoon was given a second chance to be a good father.. 🥲💔
Good and kind people are the first to die, no matter how sad it is.
"GAME OVER."
There could have been more than one if the victims had been properly dumped.
And Kihun faded into the background altogether, I caught myself thinking that other characters are more interesting to watch. Everyone has already written about the detective's line, it's not clear why they spend so much time if it didn't lead to anything in the end. Well, a piano in the bushes in the form of a pregnant woman and subsequent childbirth in 3 minutes is just lol. It immediately became clear that the baby would win. And I can only say one thing about the final task.: who are these people? I couldn't remember anyone at all, except for the besichy old man (and I watched it in one gulp). In the first season, the characters were revealed much better and you understood who was who.
In general, it was a VERY decent first season, I'll probably review it again someday, I recommend it as much as possible.
PS. What kind of genius thought of giving a child to a detective?? Well, just how and why and why? What should he do with it now? Did they even ask him if he needed it? Well, sending your daughter a dirty, BLOOD-stained form and a bank card without a password is just aerobatics, they say, guess for yourself what it all means, lol
Of course, I feel sorry for Son. He waited for the game to stop in time so that he could stay with the child. And so it turns out that everything is in vain. And he didn't stop the game as he wanted, and he didn't come back himself, and he left the child to his fate (in fact, just like the mother). It's clear that it wouldn't have worked out any other way, but it's sad. + we still haven't received an answer as to why he hasn't seen his daughter and hasn't transferred money to her all this time (judging by the emphasis on the card here). After all, this was the impetus for his first game.
The policeman, too, it turns out, did everything in vain. Purely by coincidence, he received a child unknown to himself, and the search for his brother did not end with anything.
The presenter turned out to be the one who independently put an end to several storylines at once, which is somehow too presumptuous. However, his story is still open, as it is unclear what will happen next with the game in Korea.
In general, it seems that as long as there is an elite, there will be a game. To be honest, I didn't like that everything was moving smoothly to America. (I don't remember exactly anymore, but it seems that even in season 1, the VIPs were Asian, but here, according to the European VIPs, it immediately becomes clear where the legs grow from). The idea is hype, of course, but I would like to get a logical conclusion already. Otherwise, there are fears that the American version will fuck everything up. Well, maybe not.
In general, both because of the length and the scarcity (and rapid draining) of interesting characters, season 2 and 3 are inferior to Season 1. If it was the games that the audience liked, then what was the point of stretching out internal conflicts that took up more time than the games themselves, while not arousing as much interest. The only thing that seemed most interesting was the brawl in season 2 - not even the uprising with the shootout.
He didn't give a damn about the child, he just wanted to use it to survive and win on his own.
In short, these games, as I understand it, are held in all countries. And unfortunately, there will always be a demand for them. So player 456 couldn't have done anything. If you blow up some of them, they'll do the same on another island...
No, seriously. I understand that they don't really want to focus on negative aspects, but still, why doesn't anyone talk about it or has it become the norm for a long time? In the second season, it was rambo, who smashes everyone in a row, then the holy martyr, God, how unexpected! I don't like how netflix makes great virtues and heroes out of trances, and I don't like even more that no one cares about it. The way it's implemented here looks clumsy and eye-popping.
Why? They are also constantly condemned.
I did not belittle this character's act in any way. On the contrary, he behaved very decently and a very small number of people would have dared to do such actions (I don't even pretend to this list). The claim is not what he DID, but what HE did. These are completely different things (I should have expressed myself more correctly in my comment, but it seems like I put it well)
Secondly, "please remain human, even when it contradicts the principles" is a very correct remark. Emotionally, I made a big mistake using the pronoun it when talking about a living person. I thought it was funny, but now I realize that I was being a jerk. No matter how much you like a person, the first thing to remember is that it's a person, and I forgot about it. I'm sorry about that and I apologize if I offended anyone.
Third,: In my opinion, it is hypocritical to write about the lack of propaganda, hinting at propaganda on my part, whereas I, on the contrary, opposed the propaganda of the creators of this series. The creators of the series turned trance into a great virtue and martyr, thereby elevating him, as well as all the ethnic groups attached to him, in the eyes of the viewer, and I eventually became a propagandist and a bad person? Well, well, you have quite an interesting logic, what to say
I respected your opinion and decided to respond. Sometimes such dialogues become a real discovery. ✌️

If you scrolled through here, you're a hero.
And the series is incredible!
Actually, I was waiting for a happy ending. I didn't understand why 333 killed 100 at the end, if it could have been exchanged in the last round. A strange move. Plus, they didn't press the button in the final, either - it's not clear
And in general, what did the policeman and Song Ki-hoon achieve? The master of ceremonies is still alive, and the games continue, even in America, but perhaps in other countries as well.
I assume that this season's crash was 222, but I liked it better but. Imho. I hope she finds her daughter.
Thank you to the creators for giving us the Squid Game, for giving us our favorite characters, unforgettable challenges and unexpected twists!
PS Thanos Mai Bro is in the heart. Ai. Love. Yu!
Crash was rather 120, as a person she is very strong and sincere.
But here's the sequel. Well, it feels like the creator didn't want to. There is also the most obtuse division into two seasons.
And it seemed to me that this was almost the main netflix project, well, maybe after the OSD, but why is graphene so terrible here? What a child, what a skipping rope, well, it's just awful.
Take a better look at "hunted horses are shot" - there are a lot more emotions and, most importantly, acting.
Distract your brother from his search and torment? A creative decision, however, a little cardinal. Joon Ho asked himself — did he have such plans? Well, there is now. On the other hand, there is also an internal logic: Ying Ho has already had a chance to twist the opinion of his family when he "disappeared" after his participation in the game.
Should I assign the child to a more decent candidate? The main theme and line of the series was a dispute in which Ki Hong won. There is reason to believe that Ying Ho took at least the opponent's position into consideration. Wouldn't it be a good way for him to end up starting over, dedicating time and experience to raising his "daughter"? You can't fix what you've done, but it's a worthy act. And the character himself would benefit.
I think it's a utilitarian solution. The author did not want to leave the hero, who was created with a hidden camera function, and then used as a plug in the timekeeping, without an achievable goal and a clear occupation. And even threw money at him for the inconvenience. But I like the Daddy Ying Ho option better)
Detective has the dumbest arch ever
I was so deeply impressed by the moment 456 was playing catch-up with 388 😊
456 - it will remain in everyone's memory as a hero who tried to save everyone. And in the end, he sacrificed himself.
The only thing they gave us was an introduction to such wonderful characters as 120 (trans), 149 (granny) and I personally liked 100 (grandfather), a charismatic devil.
The games became violent, the players killed each other instead of playing and trying their luck, in the case of the last contest, some conventional woman would have no chance at all, if she reached the end, she would be pushed off as the weakest. And games are primarily about excitement and a happy chance where everyone can win, not a person's fear of staying alive and stabbing/pushing another.
It would be better if they wanted to continue shooting the American version of 456 survived and went to a new game in the USA with the new 001, so that the "Faith in people" would not fade and it would be destroyed to the ground, it would be interesting to watch both of them without "armor" in the games.
The incomprehensible actions of a sniper from North Korea - why burn the archive with documents about the games? So many people died here, although it would be possible to honorably preserve their memory and report missing relatives, many losers and gamblers had families. Of course, the games self-destructed with one big red button, but still it wasn't exactly the actions that were unclear, I would have taken 256 docks and that was it.
It's very sad for 456, but the ending is logical...
I also thought, like many, that the sniper would take the child.
Blanchett's unexpected appearance.
Question: who took the money from the hotel room? I must have missed the line here...
I understand that the finale is also the lead-up to Fincher's squid.
No, not eyeliner. It's just a coincidence.
For me, the appearance of such a famous Star as Cate Blanchett in the final shots was a signal that everything, now the series will become a popular set of cliches, which will be promoted not because of the exciting plot, but because of the cast. They say it doesn't matter what we're shooting, it matters who.
No, as far as I know (and I don't know much), Thanos is a popular Asian artist, and in principle, celebrities have appeared there since the second season, but for me the Asian cast is completely unfamiliar, so the series seems original, real, full of that very idea.
I don't know, for sure few people will agree with me, but that's how it turned out)
Speaking of the idea, I caught a glimpse of a comment here saying that seasons 2 and 3 were separated in vain, and that the idea was lost along with it. For me, the central idea since the beginning of season 2 has been that times change, problems change, people's ages change too, but people themselves remain the same. Something like that. For example, in the first season, the players were on average of age and started playing because of bankruptcy, poverty and other things. And the "new generation" was an order of magnitude younger and got into debt for modern reasons - investments, trades, stock exchanges... Well, for the most part. This is an interesting thing that I noticed. It's not a leading thought, just a reason for philosophical reasoning)
All the world! ✌
I'm curious, are people really that greedy and insatiable? Like the main character, I really want to believe the opposite.
It's a pity that it turned out so stupidly with the button...
Myongi turned out to be a finished creature and did not justify my trust (((
KiHun in any case would not be able to live normally with an emptiness in his soul if he won a second time... Well, there would have been twice as much money, but he wouldn't have come up with anything worthwhile, at most he would have gone to the games for the third time without a sensible plan. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
I screamed when I saw Kate playing a Korean children's game with a non-Asian homeless man. 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, yeah, they're all playing it in the alleys.
I'm glad that the sniper managed to save 246 players! I just thought that she would get player 222...
I actually sometimes thought that the artist's daughter and her daughter too)
I hope she finds her daughter. 🔥
It's not clear why the Presenter gave it to his brother 🤷♀️ So that he could sit, raise the child and not go where he didn't need to
InHo is still a good guy - he saved the child and gave her a normal father, visited Kihun's daughter 👍
The motive itself and the actions of both sides of the cop did not affect anything. There will be games, there will be surveillance, and there will be bad actions. The main villain doesn't seem to have changed much, he was just a man with principles. It's just a poor sacrifice of a child in a world where people also throw each other and there is no hope- that is, a stupid waste of gg's life, like his pipe to play more.
This either indicates that such people with an already corrupted psyche are useless, and yes they can be humane, but still the games must be continued.
Or that the creators wretchedly wanted to influence the audience in such a bad way through gg's words about "horses are not people."
Honestly, it would be ideal if the series ended at the moment of Grandfather 001's death, and there would be no scene on the plane. Everything there fit perfectly into the main problems of the series- excitement and faith in the humanity of people, which was the whole of season 1, then it went to the fact that gg gave up and entrusted the child to a maniac, which was unlikely to fight the game, it was unlikely to be normal, and there was not even a hint that gg trusted the villain of the child with his speech, he just appealed to everyone who was watching, gg's sympathy for the villain worked out cleanly, so he saved the child and, again, his cop together.
In season 2 and 3, this kind of thing came to naught, pure rot among the players was added more than in season 1 and the games were made more violent. Gg entrusted an exceptionally bad person with a child, the meaning of a North Korean woman who knows perfect ventilation is generally poorly spelled out, it would be better for her to be given a child, as well as to give her more active participation in the plot in the finale, and not to get into how a skeleton woman beats a 2 m mega big man in an Asian game in America, it is poorly done. And the meaning is, "like this everywhere," humans never change..
Well, they didn't finish it, you fuckers, it's terrible how they didn't finish it. Well, they could, so close
Ideally, there should be neither a second nor a third season. The first one could have ended somehow differently and that's it, let the fans build theories about what happened next, waiting for American versions, versions from other years, a season with a presenter, etc. Without, in fact, continuing the first season. As a result, we have an absolutely indistinct second season and a relatively normal third (six months later). But the screenwriter seemed too lazy to think much and he just started to bring out the characters, because he had to do it somehow and bring everything to the final as quickly as possible. So many opportunities were missed, everything was kind of a blunder, decisions were sucked out of the finger, in the finale there were some left-wing people who were somewhere in the background all 2 seasons, and those we know left the game in a few episodes. I don't know, in my opinion this is some kind of hack job.
The only thing that surprised me in the finale was 333, I thought he would still save the child and go with gg to the circle, and not that he would decide to kill the child.
And the only one I feel sorry for in the film is the main character's daughter, who has been waiting for her father for so many years, and he spat on her, and this best shows GG as a person.
It's a pity for Ki-hoon, but if he had survived the second time, he would have been even more depressed than after the first games.
The shitiest thing for me about the series is that the system that hosted the games wasn't affected at all, the total is zero, they just moved to another country and there they will continue to conduct these lousy games, from their bell tower of unlimited wealth and continue calling those who got into them garbage, which, apparently, is just the wrong thing.To entertain rich idle bastards 🤬🤬🤬
Yes, they showed that 456 still did not let himself be broken to the end, he has principles and humanity. But it's a shame that this filthy organization wasn't harmed in any way, no publicity, no investigations, that's all.
How I cried at his death, kihun became so dear...
I wonder if baby 222 will grow up and play? it would be fun to see how she restores justice and kills all kinds of assholes) but this is probably just my dreams.
I really hoped that 333 would be a normal person after all. but he's an asshole. It's a pity, it's just tin.
😔😔😔😔😔😔😔🙁
The policeman, in turn, wasted his time by not finding the brother and getting the child by coincidence. The host decides the fate of the characters himself, which seems too presumptuous. With the game moving to America, there is a fear that the original idea will be ruined. The second and third seasons are inferior to the first due to the length and lack of interesting characters, and internal conflicts take longer than the games themselves, which reduces overall interest.
The actors are good, there's no question about it. But here are some points in the plot that leave questions. Seasons 2 and 3 sometimes ignore the rules of the 1st, for example, removing pink masks.
The storyline armor 456 is still okay, he's GG, it's understandable. But the stupidity and senselessness of a cop is a mess! I was also so happy when I saw that Wee Ha Joon appeared in almost all episodes of all seasons and how disappointed I was with his character (and stupidity and necessity in principle). It would be logical to end his line with a shot and fall off a cliff in season 1. But no, the face that people love too much to be killed. 😀
The actor in the Leading role is good. And the character is ambiguous, which makes him interesting, even though they haven't finished his story. I was pleased with his "justice" with the money of Ki Hung and 222. It seems to me that this showed that he might not fully understand the ideas of 456, but he definitely respected him.
They did show a little happy ending with some of the characters, and thanks for that.
Mixed opinion about the series as a whole. The first season is 8/10, season 2 and 3 are not divided into 6/10.
I believed until the last moment that he would not die. This is probably the logical end for him. But it doesn't make sense that a policeman has been fighting for so long, looking for and giving up on the idea.
I think it's logical that she's playing a Korean game, because she's in it, and Koreans probably don't know their American games and wouldn't be so sure to play them.
By the way, what kind of game could we have? Are the Cossacks robbers?
Most of all, I was hooked by the fact that the series is not about the games themselves. Not about violence or shock, but about the choices that people make under pressure. In the final, it becomes especially clear that even winning here is not a reward, but a punishment. You survived, but you lost something inside yourself, and it's harder to live with that than it is to die in the arena.
The authors did not make a "beautiful" ending. There is no catharsis, no relief. There is anger, devastation, and an understanding that the system is stronger than one person. And that's fair. Because if everything had ended with hope and light, the series would have lost its meaning.
The ending is not about the answer, but about the question: what would you do in the hero's place? And the most annoying thing is that this question stays with you after the credits.
I liked the ending too. GG has grown and outgrown the system, redeemed himself. Yes, it continues, but he has become above all this, and this is a small posthumous victory. And it's good that they showed the baby and the daughter of GG.
In general, there is a moral, there is something to think about.
And I still don't understand why Cate Blanchett was hired for such a micro-role in the end. 😅
I really liked the series, I managed to cry in many scenes this season. The games themselves were interesting, the characters certainly hooked as much as in the first season. The story of the child seemed strange and incomprehensible at first, but how awesome it all turned out.
I'll definitely be watching other Games. I also really want to believe that Ki Hoon's daughter will not be involved in the American games.
10/10
Such a frenzied desire appeared, really
Now I would like to plunge into this tin again.
The actors (especially those who played Ki Hoon, Hwang In Ho, and Hwang Joon Ho) carry plot holes and a fused cop line. The ending is hopeless: gg killed himself without achieving anything, and his philosophy perished with him. Evil has won, the games will continue. It hurts, it's empty, but it's pretty strong.
Great, I definitely recommend watching it!
The Kang No Eul and detective arcs were added as plot crutches, as if to stretch the timekeeping.
In general, the first season is top of the top, and the second and third are neither fish nor meat.
in general, I couldn't tear myself away from the series, I was very impressed with every episode, seasons 1 and 3 are my favorites, seasons 2 turned out to be quite long, but a good one. I still can't get away from the finale, I'll remember it for a long time.
NETFLIX CANCELED THE AMERICAN SPIN-OFF "SQUID GAME
Dear viewers, don't worry about the cancellation of the spin-off, there was nothing to wait for anyway. Let's be honest: the project is closed because the original franchise is conceptually dead. The first season was a complete and perfect product: Song Ki-hoon went through a deep cathartic purification through the tragedy of his mother's death, successfully closed the personal arch of redemption through financial support and saving Kang Chol (which carried the fundamental semantic load of overcoming selfishness), and flew to his daughter. All. Point. The topic of children and broadcasting their purity as the future of humanity was also officially closed and completely exhausted back in the first season.In the sequel, we just gave you a degraded remake of the original. We have completely zeroed in on the existential finale of the window fight between Song Ki-hoon and Oh Il Nam, in which Ki-hoon won an unconditional philosophical victory, proving the triumph of humanism over cynicism. Instead of developing the plot, we chewed up the theme of "pure children" in the second round, turned Ki-hoon into a butcher who killed 498 people and abandoned the child for the sake of pseudo-struggle, and left the game system untouched. The arcs of the Frontman and the Detective are officially recognized as a scenic disgrace. Sorry, there's no point in continuing this shit in America, even if Cate Blanchett said in the finale: "Frodo, bring the ring."
Lol, I told you idiots! ///_^
