Spoilers - Going to talk about season 3 of Squid Game.
I just finished the Squid Game final season. And I think it's a decent ending, and trust me, a decent ending is as good as it gets. I see a lot of people giving negative reviews to the show, stating how the ending was bad. Many are calling the show ending weak, and I disagree.
Now, before I get on with the post. Another Spoiler Alert: I am going to talk about the final season's plot twists and points. So if you have not yet watched the show, I highly recommend watching it.
Anyway, Season 3 starts right where Season 2 ended, with the consequences of the failed takeover attempt by the lead Player 456. He was captured and again forced to play the brutal and torturous games. And season 3 is all about Player 456 as a human. And the overall change he has gone through in the events of this game. We were introduced to him as a bum who can smile at adverse situations. But by the end of season 3, we saw him seeking revenge and murdering someone. And in a last-ditch attempt to save his humanity sacrificed himself.
Another interesting character was the Front Man. A complex character. I liked that the show paid attention and showed us that Front Man indeed was a player who faced similar challenges but chose a very different path. And now is testing Player 456 if he is going for the same choices he made. It's as if the Front man was looking for confirmation on his choice. And that's about it. There's a player 456 and the front man, everybody else is just extra. And I think that's the perfect ending.
While watching the show, I was hoping the baby’s dad would make the sacrifice to redeem himself, letting player456 and the baby win the game, and player456 raising the baby as his own. After he lost his daughter in season 1. That's because I like player456 and would hate for him to lose. But after watching the ending, I appreciated that player456 sacrificed himself to save himself. There is some bloating in the show, but that was unavoidable.
So, to answer the question, did Squid Games drop the ball? The Answer would be NO. The poetic ending do a tragic story. Good Show, Must Watch.
Hey Folks,
Just because I recommend a show doesnt mean it's good, I mean this show is. But always remember, I am a guy who likes "Alien vs Ninja" movie.
