A temporary replica set of Netflix original drama series “Squid Game,” installed at Itaewon Station in Yongsan, central Seoul, closed earlier than scheduled after doubts over violations of quarantine rules had been raised."

"In response to the growing concerns of the public, the Seoul Metro announced that it will close the operation of the set, Ogame World, on Saturday, a day earlier than the expected closing date."

I deleted because I accidentally posted a spoiler image so I guess I'll post this here. Idk if this is unpopular because I haven't talked to anyone about Squid Game yet but he really annoyed me. He reminded me of a puppy but a puppy I want to kick.

Also what was everyone's favourite game? I loved the tension of the glass hopping game, and the twist in the marbles game with only one person from each team getting to survive.

I liked the three female characters, surprisingly. I ship San Beyouk and Ji Young, thought they looked cute together even before the marbles episode. The MC is undeserving of respect or love and should have offed himself from the beginning though. I hate the whole "worthless deadbeat scrote with a heart of gold" trope.

Femcel sperg ahead

There were only 3 relevant female characters. The cat looking one who is a literal top model, and her marble game partner who's gorgeous too. Both in their 20s. They were given only perfect personality traits. Everyone else is sperging out about dying but these girls are too cool to care, make great sacrifices and have fucking supervillain backstories. Then the third woman who looks closer to average and isn't 19 years old gets all the bad traits. She's made to be the biggest sperg in the show and no one likes her.

I think the show was good. It got kind of splotchy inbetween, mainly when the organ harvesting subplot began but it was more enjoyable towards the beginning than towards the end.

I liked Sae-Byeok her death was bullshit btw, she should've won and her friend, but I actually enjoyed whats-her-name despite the fact that she had a bunch of negative traits, that bathroom scene with 067. I feel like she was a good match for all the other selfish players except for when she literally killed herself just to get revenge on that dude, but I guess that fits her brand of crazy, and the game probably wouldn't have progressed if she didn't.

I get why Sangwoo did it, but Ali's death made me really sad. When I saw so many farmers saying they didn't feel bad for Ali, I was like damn. As pathetic as it sounds, that marble game episode is the one where I cried. Anyway, I saw a lot of people saying MC is a shithead for choosing to go after the game creators, and while I agree that he's a huge unlikeable dumbass, I kind of understand why he did it. They were still watching him and knew that he was going to travel to see his daughter, so it kind of makes sense that he would want to end it completely. I just hope he's doing it to protect his family and not for selfish reasons (he probably is though, who am I kidding)
Anyway, I'm sorry for the long post.

Battle Royal wasn't the only inspiration he had. He also mentioned Kaiji which has the main character going back over and over and over. It's a gambling addiction and the want to finish the game and the creators, for him. I don't know about the SG MC though. I don't think it's about his daughter.

Sangwoo was the best character imo. He wasn't the typical deadbeat with a heart of gold, he felt like a real person that was pushed to do terrible things for someone he cared about. My friends disagree, but I think Sangwoo was playing purely for his mother, so him purposefully trying to get his "friends" killed wasn't THAT bad.

And I feel like the show was being extremely hypocritical in trying to portray Sangwoo as a bad person. Hi-gun also "killed" someone, and if Sangwoo didn't push that person they all would have died. A thank you would have been more appropriate than accosting him. /sperg

I was very excited to finish it because it catched my attention but it's like it didn't really left a mark on me like all the series I watch do, probably because it's not an original concept and predictable. However it's so perfectly done to be so popular and mainstream, the formula is just exactly as it has to be. I read that the creator spent six months to write the first two episodes and he lost six teeth (how?) while producing it because of the stress, crazy.
I liked the acting and the music, as well as the production of course, it was amazing. I would have liked a background on the workers, soldiers, etc (the guys with the red tracksuits). There was a theory going around that if you chose the red paper while playing with the guy on the train, it meant you were going to be one of the red guys but it's not possible because we saw people who were participants and chose the red paper, would've been very cool.
Sangwoo was the most interesting character for me too, he was the only one with some kind of complexity and contradictions like an actual human being, I really liked his smart takes as well
Which one was your favorite game? To me the tug of war, the marbles (because they confronted someone they had affinity for) and the glass bridge were horrific to watch but they were also the best ones

the part of the show that stuck with me the most was when jiyoung sacrificed herself for saebyeok. it was so touching and tragic especially because of how they talked abt hanging out when they got out of the games, even though it wasn’t possible. they had a short lived but very impactful bond.

what struck me the most about this show was the production value, coloring and over all aesthetic of the show. it’s the type of show someone can make endless tumblr aesthetic posts and gif sets about lol

No. 163507

Agree on the formula part, that’s why I was so surprised by people acting like they’ve never heard of the “abducted to play a deadly game” concept.
Wouldn’t be surprised if in 10 years we have an Isekai type of Netflix show.

I know it’s a sort of Sci-fi type of show but there were so many parts that didn’t make sense to me.

>The staff

Who recruit those people? Clearly they need people with some firearm knowledge and diving knowledge (Potentially a doctor onsite). Sometimes people can slip out unnoticed and sometimes the cop can switch costumes and nobody notice, but also they record everyone and make sure everyone is accounted for. Plus the people driving the boat, etc.

> The (hot) cop

Mate maybe leave a note to your boss? Get a geotracker tag on you? Maybe don’t rely on getting some 4g in the middle of nowhere to send your texts?

I also felt like everyone besides Sangwoo was pretty 1 dimensional. I wish they showed the 2 girls friendship growing more along the episodes than quickly within like 2 games.

Also I oddly enough like the deadbeat dad as a character. I mean, I know he's a piece of shit. But he feels human to me and he kinda grew on me. I don't love him but I kinda like him a lot. I just hate the ending so much, holy shit. Just go to your daughter idiot. Way to ruin the entire series

I was super hyped because I love death games and I would love this genre to get more popular so my favorite mangas can get animated. That being said, I really thought Squid Game got super silly towards the end. I think people paid so much attention to this because it is edgy and is very pretty looking with nice actors and nice colors. But god the games were super boring.
Spoilers:
Correct me if I'm wrong but is the glass bridge a children's game? They didn't explain it and I can't relate it to a kids game, I just don't get why only one game isn't a stereotypical kids game, it could be something I don't know though.
The twists were extremely boring, fucking "Oh money can't buy happiness we need to watch people dieee" was so stupid, the gamemaster reveal was stupid, the Westerners' dialogue was EXTREMELY stupid. I cringed during all of the English dialogue. I think the series dipped hard after the marble episode.

I thought it was ok and the ending was kinda bad, but I truly think the art direction and aesthetic made it popular in the first place. The other Asian (albeit Japanese) death game show, Alice in Borderland, didn't even reach a portion of its popularity and it's probably a combination of that + less shilling. Or maybe Squid Game was the exception. Anyway the final lesson made no sense: what's equal about crossing a bridge that can crush under your feet if you go first? what's equal about a tug of war game where young men are at advantage? Meh. At least in the first two games it only depended on you.

No. 165028

The show isn't subtle about being a critique on classism and capitalism so I think the inherent unfairness of a lot of the games is part of the point. It's a metaphor for how capitalist values shill hardwork and equal opportunity when in reality some groups of people have advantages over others that contributed to their success. I also think that the front man character was intentionally written to have fully bought into the bs that the games are supposed to be equal and fair since he was one person out of hundreds who got lucky and now he perpetuates the cycle after becoming rich and powerful.

The rich degenerates hamming it up were the worst parts of the show and made me cringe, not gonna lie. They could've showed them without any of the dialogue, it would've been more effective. Also agree about the stupid front man plotline, it was so predictable and cliched it actually made me groan out loud.

Nevertheless I really liked the show and the people scoffing at it because of muh intellectual Kaiji and Battle Royale need to take it as it is, survival games are an age-old trope and at least the writer had the balls to admit that he drew inspiration from manga and movies instead of autistically denying it like the author of Hunger Games.

All of this. Even the mastermind in the end congratulates Gi-hun for his good luck and hard work, not just hard work alone. So I still think it's safe to say that the games weren't supposed to be seen objectively fair from the viewer's point of view because like in a capitalist society in general, some people have natural advantage and some things are simply based on luck. When you really think about it, none of the games were fair and equal, all of them had some handicap to them.

This is pretty damn disrespectful to me. Her looks were absolutely not a defining trait for her character and she was written to be a jaded, traumatized, desperate person who still wanted to stick to her morals with no tolerance for injustice.

My favorite character was the old man. I knew he was gonna end up being a bad guy, but that didn't stop me from loving him. I love old person characters, I always get attached to them. I love the mothers of Sangwoo and the deadbeat as well. Lovely old ladies.
I have to admit I don't hate the deadbeat dad either, mostly because I love the trope of shitty people with hearts of gold. He can also be seen as a symbol of working class people being perverted by vices, or something like that, but I'll leave the pseud analysis to the pseud analysts.

While I personally still found Squid Game to be an okay watch, neither really good nor bad, I also found those things they pointed out to be iffy when I first saw it. I remember feeling so uncomfortable about the necrophilia that's been mentioned off-handedly, and 212 having to use sex to ensure her safety but thought that might have been realistic enough in these situation because moids are disgusting. The decorations in the VIP room I found completely ridiculous, and here I couldn't even tell myself that they might've done that for the realism, I'm just convinced the prop director (or whatever you call it) was too horny for his own good lmao. Also hated the portrayal of 456 being treated as a good person even though he's a horrible son and a dead beat father, but I thought this was just a main character problem, where most people sympathize with him just because they're forced to see everything from his narrative.

just finished it here are my small brain thoughts
-sangwoo was my favorite at first, I rooted for him up until he killed sae-byok. He did what he had to do bla bla idc that was too mean
-the two young female characters were beautiful and had potential but they made them boring and 2d, shame. the crazy lady was a cool, interesting character but insufferable. Can't have shit in detroit
-the ending was sad and weird but ok
-I agree with >>163335. I don't like characters who are so morally perfect, they take me out of the story because I can't empathize with them like real people
-that kpop looking cop mf is hot. My biggest gripe with the ending is that all his efforts were seemingly in vain. I hope he's still alive somehow and plays a bigger role in s2
-none of the players were really likeable to me (except for the mary sue girls) but out of all of them I liked the main chacter the most, even thought he's kind of dumb. Ig I relate to him because I'm a lazy disappointment to my mother too

i guess it was to show that she saw them preparing the honeycomb beforehand which she then told sangwoo about. because he clearly had some idea of what the game was about before they started but still let his bestie pick the umbrealla shape ie the hardest one and didn’t try to warn his team it was just hinting towards his cunning nature from the very beginning

Agreed. Or at least they should've made it another character do it. She wanted to continue the games from the very beginning and her only goal seemed to be to save her family, so it doesn't really make sense for me why it's exactly her who wanted to find out why and how the games were done. 456 or even 212 would have seemed like the better choice. If it were Jiyeon who did it, it could've served as a better introduction for her and may have been an opportunity for us to bond with her too, rather than her just being part of the team now.

No. 167965

why didn’t Saebyok just tell the guards she was stabbed, they definitely would have tried to do something in the name of that “fairness.” seems to go against the principles of the game and also the fuck did they expect blowing up GLASS?

>>167965
the blowing up glass thing was probably a measure to ensure the remaining people after the clock ticked its last second were killed. They got to safety on the very last seconds so they couldn't prevent the glass shards everywhere, I bet that if the game had gone as intended (jump jump jump) and they were the first ones to survive, they wouldn't had been harmed by it.

For real. There's a dad in there trying to get his daughter money for cancer treatment and then this troon wants an axewound. Also they really had to add a handmaiden storyline where a little dainty girl calls him sis and validates him. And the handmaiden dies! I wish handmaidens irl could see the irony.
Of course Reddit and Tumblr and Twitter are crying about how the troon is bad representation and a trans stereotype. They're so close to getting it. He's realistic, portrays the narcissism and retardation of a real troon. Also them crying about the fact he's portrayed by a man and how they'd rather have him portrayed by a cis woman is so funny like they're sooo close to getting it.

I loved Thanos’ over the top behavior and random use of English, he was my favorite character RIP to a real one.

With the tranny character, I’ve watched so many things in the past few years (Barbie movie, One Piece Live Action, Yellowjackets, Fallout) that feature a troon actor, without actually acknowledging within the show that the character is transgender (are we supposed to assume that the character they play is cis?) so it’s sort of refreshing that Squid Game acknowledges that the tranny character is a tranny. It’s stupid that the show is trying to present the character as more kind and empathetic than a real woman, and we’re supposed to feel bad for him because he just needs a frankengina soooooo badly that he’s willing to risk his life, but based South Korea for casting a normal male actor to play him and making real life trannies seethe.

About the MTF guy: a lot of people are angry about him because he doesn't look like a cute dainty post op troon no such thing really, even then they tend to be clockable and my crypto terf way to respond is: "Don't you see, anon?

The general consensus seems to be that Thanos was the number one entertaining character and kek I kinda do agree. A lot of characters come across as depressive unfun assholes, it was fun trying to meet more characters to build a sense of community but as a consequence it does spread itself thin maybe a little. The dad of the sickly girl for example, we barely get to know him but he seemed like a good guy that was put in a shitty situation. He deserved to live more than this guy >>445827. My number one character is the granny/mom though. I think she's sweet and she deserves the world, but I have an inkling they will kill her or kill her son (or as the shaman lady said, they'll die together). I mean, the failson can die for all I care but his mom would be sad and I don't want that.

Other than that, how was he able to sneak his way into the game without anyone noticing? Either there was a player 001 and they killed him to add InHo add, or there was never a player 001 because they already planned to sneak him in. Either way, absolutely no one noticed that this dude wasn't here before? I do get that there was 456 people, but at least one person out of that 456 would have taken note of who is player 001.

I quite liked pairing In-ho and Gi-hun. Character foils are always interesting to me. I remember when S1 ended and everyone was theorising what would happen in S2; most were saying the obvious Gi-hun comes back for revenge but a few were wondering if Gi-hun's trauma of seeing so many people die and his lack of value in life would lead him to be corrupted like a cult by the games and become part of them too. And boom S2 we have In-ho who is basically all of that, he's Gi-hun in an alternate universe, I like that.

The tranny was a total Gary Stu. I'm gonna assume the excessive troon pandering was all Netflix's fault.

This. I know Gi-hun was pathetic with his lack of good parenting and gambling addiction in the first season, but he eventually became likeable and the story didn't ask for constant sympathy like they do with the troon. A pathetic character can become sympathetic but not in an inorganic, shoehorned way. If I wanted to watch a power point presentation on why trans women are so brave and stunning I would, they need to stop trying to "teach" people to like them. It never works.

I just finished the second season. it gets better as it goes on for me. The first couple of episodes are a bit of a slog, and the Front Man throwing out a Matrix redpill/blupill reference was really cringe. Manosphere retards have permanently ruined any reference to that movie for me, no matter how benign. The first woman we meet is some vapid woman who hits on the cop and wants his Instagram, of course. Combined with how few women there were in the first few epsiodes, and it made this season seem even more misogynistic than the first. A lot of characters were pretty insufferable early on for me too. The shithead rapper, who I actually grew to sort of like, the crypto bro, the fashion girl who of course immediately dies because she's a woman and the tranny all screamed "We want that zoomer audience" to me.

And of course the tranny is ex-military. That part is accurate to troonism, actually. Gonna echo other sentiments here, the bathroom scene was disgusting, the handmaidenism was disgusting, seeing him slap the based shamaness was rage enducing, and seeing the dude with the glasses and Jewfro simp for trannies in Thailand being "hotter than real women" was the most repulsive of all. Closet case gooners gonna goon.

And, of course, number 11 gets called a bitch countless times. At least we didn't get another gross scene where the organ harvesters admitted to raping a dying woman, I guess.

The term "BPD" has really lost all meaning, hasn't it? People in this thread keep using it for female characters they don't like. Very suspect behavior. She was based, and deserved to live over the scrotes.

At least it's getting released later this year and it's not a 2-3 year wait like most shows nowadays

All the men are ex-miltary. Two years conscription is mandatory in South Korea. It makes it kinda funny to me. "We don't care if you're wearing a dress, you're still serving" kek

It's hard enough getting that in western media. Asking for it in Korean media is almost impossible.

Yeah, but it seemed to imply during the shootout that he stayed in longer, and maybe had something of a career in the military. I just find it funny. Military men love fucking trannies, when they aren't trooning out themselves.

>the Front Man throwing out a Matrix redpill/blupill reference was really cringe
Kek I forgot about this, it absolutely made me roll my eyes. This season feels very pander-y and dumb.

Yeah but it was so cringe that I thought it was funny. Especially since it was a relatively serious scene as well kek

This scene made me feel things

am I the only one who couldn’t watch squid games because I thought it was over the top and therefore corny? It felt like every survival anime I’ve ever seen. And the twists were so predictable I laughed when characters died.

It's basically based on a manga/anime, so yeah. Kaiji is maybe even more over the top (but leagues better than squid game).

NTA, I tried to watch Kaiji and couldn't make it through, maybe it's just cause I really dislike anime? I loved Alice in Borderland though (despite some critiques on the second season).

I tried to watch it but I can't understand mahjong…sorry nonnie. But also Kaiji is incredibly sexy, Akagi looks walled as fuck.
