Television Squid Game (Netflix)

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Thanos was so unbelievably unlikable, I can't tell if he was really terribly acted, or if the actor was actually really great at playing an absolutely terrible fecking prick.

In the final round of the Mingle episode, there were 3 people in 001's room, when there should only have been 2, so 001 choked the other guy to death. I'm guessing they weren't eliminated because 001 is the plant?

Overall, it was a good season, but the long voting scenes were a bit of a drag. Like others have said, it seemed naive that 456 didn't suspect 001 of being a plant again. It did seem to kill the suspense as you knew 001 would turn, it was just a matter of when.

I guess because the third person was dead before the timer it was allowed.

Spoiler

001 killing that guy, I guess they checked if he was dead, and because he was, there were only 2 people alive in the room so it counted.

As for Thanos, if you absolutely hated him, he nailed it

Was really good honestly, but you can tell there was filler to split the season

Thanos played a good comedic foil.

The characters similarities to T.O.P’s real life makes it interesting too. He had a scandal for smoking weed in real life and this is his first acting role since then. The character was going to commit suicide, he overdosed during the scandal amid harassment from the media and fans. The line about remembering his raps also references a time he forgot his lyrics on a rap show.

Just finished it and enjoyed it.

Spoiler

That coward guy needs to die a horrible death for letting that smokin' hot chick with the piercings (Se-Mi) die.

I was looking out for her in every wide shot

Byung Hun Lee is one of my favourite Korean actors so was nice seeing him in another big role. I Saw The Devil is one of my favourite films.

He's one of my favs too, when he took the mask off in season 1 I was so happy.

I thought that could be a possibility too, but seemed like a little bit of a cop out.

Yeah I'm gonna give Thanos the benefit of the doubt, I think it's a very well acted arsehole. I did chuckle seeing him pilled up and just prancing around through the games. He was very easy to hate, but I was sad he got fork stabbed.

I'm on episode 5. What the feck is that marble-y game where they're throwing them around and catching them on the back of their hand?

Yeah, plus we're meant to dislike him.

You are. But if he makes you think the show isnt very good, or makes you want to stop watching its not very useful. Season 1 being good is all that kept me watching when he was doing everything to make me cancel my subscription

He has no depth, he has no character progression, he has no redeeming qualities, he has very little personality and they made him look stupid on top of that. I mean his appearance, but he also died looking stupid. He existed so that they could have a cryptocurrency guy being bullied by him and then then kill him in self defence. Thats all he existed for. And that would be fine if he was a rarely seen background character but he got a lot of screentime and focus. He was the main villain of the players, other than the secret main villain (to the players)

In contrast the 2nd main villain is probably the old guy who wants everyone to keep playing. He actually had some character and some decent points when Gihun wants to stop the games. He wasnt a shallow character, even if his character was shallow in personality. 3rd main villain (from the players point of view) or joint 2nd would be the woman who was into fortunes and fate. She was just petty and fell out with everyone over minor stuff. Even that is a decent enough character that was leagues ahead of this guy.
