It’s very clear that it s2 and s3 were all supposed to be s2 and that the finale of s2 feels like the end of a mid-season finale rather than an entire season

I think In Ho is Oh Ill Nam's son, especially since he was adopted and is the cop's step brother.

I think yall never seen a cliffhanger before

hello fellow youtuber, i appreciate this comeback new year new me ahh mf

0:42 massive?

Season 3 is coming in june, its not meant to finish the storyline this quick

"squid game, we need to talk."

Your so underrated

I completely agree that the island searching subplot was useless. Like, it led nowhere and accomplished nothing, I'd much rather they used the time exploring character dynamics or even adding another game. The first 2 episodes were a bit dragged out in my opinion, the rock paper scissors game was great but I think they could've fitted it into a singular episode with similar results. Opinions on the cast- Thanos- I didn't like him at all- he was an awful person- I was not upset to see him go. I understand your point that he had a really unique personality and it was cool how he kept speaking in English but at the end of the day he was kind of annoying. 456- it was so sad watching him because he's so much more depressed and angry than in season 1- I really felt for him as it was clear the other contestants didn't want to be saved and that his whole mission was useless- which was also annoying, like, he should've gotten on the plane. He honestly feels like a completely different person which makes his arc sp tragic. He definitely made some questionable decisions during the season though. 001- he was a good addition- I'd love to see how he develops in season 3. It, it was a bit annoying how predictable this season became because of him- it was pretty obvious that everyone on his team would survive because of plot armour. I really hope he becomes more complex in season 3 and not just an unfeeling villain because I honestly quite liked him even when he shot 390. The subplot of subtely making 456 realise sacrifces are needed for a greater cause and realising the point of the games was pretty enjoyable too. 120- It was quite brave to include a transgender character, especially in a South Korean show, but they executed it really well- she was one of my favourite characters by the ending. Her friendship with Young Mi was quite sweet, although Young Mi is a little one dimensional in my opinion it was still really sad when she died. I almost wish more characters died instead of only 2 but I guess that's for season 3. I love her undertones of brutality- we all wanted to punch the magic lady and I generally think she could've won the 20 vs 1 fight at the end. 222- Unpopular opinion- I found her quite boring, like she didn't really do or say anything memorable and her only real personality trait was being quiet. Obviously I feel bad for her, she should definitely leave 333 and signing up for the games pregnant was a stupid idea, but her character was too simple and the only benefit she added was being a foil to 001s (dead) wife. 001s brother- WHY DIDNT YOU SAY HE WAS THE FRONT MAN. That's the only thing that needs to be said about his character. 388- he was my favourite character from when he won the dice thing up until episode 7 because he was funny and nice enough without being too annoying or simple. I didn't like his cowardice and betrayal in the final episode- especially not knowing whether he has a valid reason to act the way he did. However, this does make his character more complex and sets up a good redemption character arc for season 3. I'm also looking forward to knowing his backstory, whether he lied about being in marines or has PTSD, his abusive father etc. I think he may die in season 3 but I hope I'm wrong because I love his character regardless of episode 7 because he's generally a nice person. 390- I liked him well enough throughout the season, especially in the final episode and was sad to see him die although it was inevitable from the mingle game. It was annoyingly similar to season 1 but it still works well on its own. He was a great, solid side character and 456s only link to his past life which makes it even more tragic than he died. Honestly, 456s reaction was worse than the actual death itself. 007 and his mum-The mum was really nice- a steroeotypical mother figure to all the characters who was there for everyone, I really don't want her to die. She is one of the few nice, selfless people in the games and I bet she'll die in the 3rd season. Her son was far less admirable, especially not fighting in episode 7, but I don't hate him like some people I just don't really care whether he lives or dies. Abandoning his mum in episode 6 was kind of a dick move though, even if it was unlitmately the right choice. It's a great example of what the games psychologically do to people in order to survive. Recruiter- had a bit more screentime than necessary but the actor is so good it dosen't matter. I loved the Russian roulette game he had with 456 and admired him literally dying just to not cheat. H e didn't really feel like a person which made him even more unique and creepy than everyone else. 100- honourable mention because never have I encountered such an arrogant, unlikeable, selfish bitch than this old man. Whenever he spoke I wanted to throttle him with his own throat fat and I'd give anything to watch him suffer because my God he deserves it. I don't know why I hate him so much but he has the supreme talent of saying the worst thing at the worst time. Overall, I love this cast as much as season 1 (still miss 67 and Ali though) and I love their friendships which seem more genuine than season 1 in my opinion. They seem too wholesome to start betraying each other which will make it worse when it inevitably occurs. I would gladly watch them chill together outside of the games, like the mother was talking about and I don't want to see any of them die in the next season- even 001. I liked the music because it made it more entertaining than silence in my opinion- especially during the voting scenes. It was definitely more light hearted than season 1 which I have mixed feelings about- on one hand I had a funner time watching it and was cheering alongside the characters but leaves far less of an emotional impact than season 1. It also shows how desensitised the characters become to death and violence over only a few days. I didn't really like them humanising the guards as I preferred them as robot entities so we can focus on the player characters but that's just me and not really a big deal. I loved this season so much- especially episode 5 and 6 and I'm really excited for season 3!!!

I was watching this video while reading the comments and when I found out you have less than 500 subs I was genuinely shocked. Your content, to me, seemed no different than the big youtubers' with 100s of thousands of subs. Hope you blow up some day bro , you deserve it. Keep it up.

Ngl tho, squid game s2 was good but the ending was a cliffhanger which I heard nobody likes it

3:30 its literally not litteraly

it'll att make sense s3 bud

Noob vs pro vs hacker

you got a 484 th subscriber

3:12 i started bumping when tupac started playing lmao

the trap version of fly me to the moon is supposedly the game in thanos's perspective

MASSIVE

Great vid

Why y’all keep talking about “the ending” when season 2 hasn’t even ended yet????

bro this is such a good video

I dont understand the whole "lead to nowhere" response. It lead us to failure. Sometimes plans fail, ie the cop ??? Season 2's focus is on people's choices (leave or no leave) (hypocrisy even with good intent) (u live long enough u become the villain) i dont think everything needs to be explained. I dont need to see the backstory of these new characters. Cause in life you dont know all the ins and outs. We saw that in season 1 which was nice, but why cant season 2 offer smth different. The different is less satusfyig sometimes but thats still v creative

ohjjh yeahh ralph castelli in the background

Facts

U earned a sub from Canada ❤😮

Squid Game season 2 ending felt like the Invincible season 2 half cut and delay...

The VIPs were plainly representing international capitalists, and the way that they freely abuse less-developed countries

I like the ending of this video. Its so genuine, real. After all i like whole video. Thank you. 🤍

I completely disagree with you on how you approached it. The point you made was that Squid Game season 2 was a money grab, which doesn't even hold any relevance narrative-wise. Gi Hyun's character arc was very strategically set up, the whole second season was supposed to represent futile desperation that eventually led to an untimely demise for two of his friends, such as the first season. While the execution could be questioned, it was very much intended for a second season. You said that season one was a good enough conclusion, but you never even addressed anything to support that; it seemed like it was just built on vibes and execution. Let me tell you, though, the execution and writing for season one were just superb; Gi Hyun letting go of possessions and earthly values that had even led him into the game to pursue a greater cause that contradicts the values of a capitalist society which he once held, but it's nowhere near a resolution. If that wasn't enough to convince you, the structure closely resembles the "Hero's Journey", the first act is the character preparing for their journey (Gi Hyun leaving the airport and ultimately everything he once valued), the character passing the point of no return and undergoing a period of transformation (Gi Hyuns change of idealogy and the death of his friend, finally cutting any ties of Gi Hyuns former life), and the character going back to their former life OR finding a life of contentment (perhaps the third season) Your second point was the inconsistent tone, and let me tell you, tone can be inconsistent. Writers usually depend on a consistent tone to attract and engage their audience if their characters are static and flat, but that is not the case for Squid Game. I wouldn't say Squid Game has an excellent cast of dynamic characters (Hyun-Ju when I catch you), but it has certainly built itself enough to cater to those tonal shifts. For example, the green light red light scene. The first season had already engaged with a Grimm altercation of red light green light through the perspectives of many characters that were already introduced and firmly established; this maximizes the thrill and suspense for the audience, and it lets us already know what purposes our accustomed characters will serve through a survival setting. However, they can't just repeat that for the second season if they want to engage with Gi Hyun dynamically, or else they would just turn the show into a Melo-thriller that would exploit our empathy to tell an engaging story. So instead, it used the repetition of green light and red light to demonstrate to us the failure of Gi-Hyun's altruism, playing more into a frustrating repetition of the first red light and green light. To further elaborate on this "tone", they played a classical ballad of some sort to fully curate on an absurd replay despite his "omniscient power" attempting to dictate the game's results. Your third point was that the second season should not have ended on a 'cliffhanger.' I understand why you may feel this way; the first season's cliffhanger was just so well executed that it already felt like a satisfying conclusion despite it not fitting into that criteria. Thus, season's two more rushed cliffhanger had engaged the audience in a way that just feels shocking and insatiable. Usually, when this happens, the audience blames the cliffhanger itself instead of focusing on the underlying problem. However, I can completely justify the second cliffhanger's presence. The whole season played with the idea of the ravenous wants of society toppling over any modicum of logic or survival and that one should just accept that nature instead of attempting to fix it and coherently fitting into the media trope of a "hero". The whole revolution attempted to follow through with that theme, the "Hero's" need for justice being extracted from those very same ravenous desires instead of the altruistic logic he had preached throughout the season, which later caused the demise of his friend. On paper, it was an excellent way to portray their themes and perhaps a more gray way of thinking, but I cannot justify how they executed it. Overall, I can see why you felt the way you did for each argument you presented but it seemed like you have guided your focus to superficial symptoms instead of the underlying problems that caused them. It disappoints me to see all the critism for Squid Game season two, most of it being built on the entertaiment rather than their artistic potrayal. I may have overthought it, but I personally believe that Squid Game is a lot more than a survival thriller; it wants to do so much more than that, and it's our job as the viewer to respect and see that.

I’m not sure why you’re viewing this as an "ending that lead to nowhere" as opposed to just a cliffhanger. I might sound like a boomer here or really reaching with this, but bear with me: I think part of it could be that people now, especially younger gens, are very accustomed to streaming services like Netflix, where you can instantly watch the next episode, get an instant dopamine hit, and binge-watch an entire season in one sitting. As a millennial, I remember watching shows like Lost, where you had to wait a week for the next episode, and even longer when they leave seasons off on a cliffhanger. Waiting months to find out what happens next was just part of the experience. The ending is being treated like it was a final, unresolved conclusion, and we’ll never get the answers. Instead of as a cliffhanger where you have to wait for the resolution in the next season, where those questions will be addressed and plotlines wrapped up. I think the disappointment stems more out of not being able to get that instant dopamine hit and the answers right away.

netflix has been splitting one season into 2 parts for a while, like stranger things pt1 and 2. Thats what this season felt like, as if its the first part and we gotta wait another year for the second. It wouldve been better imo as a 5ep pt1 and 5 ep pt2. especially the role of the boat capn, it was kinda weird for me that the cop and him had a very friendly-banter kinda relationship. And the moment he started warning about the weather too much, i realised he was gonna betray and was actually hiding the truth about how the cop was found. I was waiting on him to pull a move and by the end of it while that specific scene of his betrayal was real good, it was way too late to give me the reaction they probably expected.

apparently theres this theory that the dad isnt dead, cuz 1. he was never shown to be dead 2. he was still alive in the coffin 3. someone (prob 011) marked out his coffin there might be other clues that i forgot, but it makes sense because he was given way too much screen time to be that irrelevant

whats the background song in the beginning of the vid?

yea it’s a bit annoying that it ended like that but honestly i loved the second season and maybe even more than the first season

WTF???

Summarised it perfectly

I really didn't like how stuff just happened misterously. Like, for just two years the captain was playing a good guy and now he's trying to do what exactly? Or with the chip it was super weird how the front man didn't say anything about it and it just somehow happened. You're right with saying it was like half a season but I'll still watch the 3rd one once it comes out :D

I hope they reveal next season that N11 didnt kill that father and just injured him, otherwise this makes no sense

Thats a good vid

Bro dont dont know what a "cliffhanger" is💀

I agree. considering how s3 is coming so soon, from the jump, I perceived s2 as part A and s3 as part B. I'll have my final verdict when the series ends

loved this video man. keep it going and you'll make it far

bro u are so underrated it makes me sad 😭

N-word

Fall guys was 2 weeks because it was utter TRASH

Found part one boring 🙄 so havent seen this one. And why would I. Seen SyFy Channels mini series several times.... same story told way better.

It's like in moonknight, where the main character becames overwhelmed with his different personalities.It's just too much at once. There are many good series and movies, but you don't know what you want or should watch first to keep up with the whole story and the parallels.

I actually bought a movie pass I go 3 times a week. I’ve seen so many movies in theaters just in the past 2 months I’ve lost count. While theaters are suffering a little rn I don’t think they’ll ever go away, like the printed word, or vinyl.

What they mean by show dont tell is the reliance on clumsy exposition in most films, In Fury road and Furiosa there is no need to verbally explain what the colored signals mean.......... just that they are signals and the characters know and respond, which in turn lets us know the meaning. Similarly the Bobby knocker controls are moved from the back to the cabin for improved operation. Again its a fleeting shot that des not need explanation, which many other fe do

This is exactly why I think Tarantino is overrated. He's great but not as great as he says or thinks he is.
