“Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk brought up the critically-maligned “Space Jam 2” in response to LeBron James’ criticism of the “Squid Game” finale. During an October 12 press conference, James had this to say about the ending of the show’s first season: “I didn’t like the ending, though. I know it’s supposed to start off season two, but get on that fucking flight and see your daughter. What are you doing?”
James is referring to the final moments of “Squid Game,” where protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) decides not to board a flight to visit his daughter in the United States. Seong’s decision sets up a second season where he stays in Korea on a mission to end the deadly games once and for all.
Hwang was asked about James’ criticism by The Guardian in a recent interview. The creator responded, “Have you seen ‘Space Jam 2?...
