"Not Perfect, But Still Entertaining"
For me, it was good. I don’t know why everyone said it was bad.The comedy and sense of humor at the beginning were funny. I loved how they didn’t forget to add humorous scenes or characters.
"Hide and Seek" was a good game, but the rest felt rushed. It seemed like they were just trying to milk the show too much.
I feel like the standout characters this season were Nam Gyu and Myung Gi. I loved how Nam Gyu imitated Thanos. That really made me laugh.
The CGI baby was a bad idea.
Also, the scene where the pink guard saved Player 246 felt unrealistic.
Detective Hwang, to me, was unnecessary to the plot.
The VIP scenes were cringe. Their speech sounded like AI-generated text-to-speech, and their lip movements didn’t match their voices.
The jump rope game music was a poor choice. It didn’t fit the atmosphere.
I know many people say Detective Hwang was a useless character, and I kind of agree. But people forget that he did protect Player 246 by shooting the pink guard.
Being a useful character doesn’t mean you have to save everyone or shut down the whole game. A small action can still make a character useful.
As for the ending, I agree with those who say it was bad. Gi-hun was stupid for not pushing the button.
Some say it was a “realistic” ending because Gi-hun sacrificed himself, but I don’t think so. To me, money is everything. It’s better to take the money and enjoy life. Why should we care about others? It's not our fault those people died; we didn’t kill them.
Lastly, I expected all the VIPs or people involved in the Squid Game to be caught, but they weren’t. In a way, it makes sense. You can’t really touch the rich and powerful. That part felt realistic, since the powerful always find a way to stay safe.
