Spoof Trailer: Squid Game Season 2

After three years of waiting, we finally received Squid Game: Season 2.

And?

Although it features an interesting variety of characters, and explores new games, it still feels unfinished and boring.

The plot itself is really confusing, and seemingly unfinished, as I really did not know, whether I should laugh or feel sad at the same time. In my opinion, mixing drama with comedy can't really work well, unless perfectly executed. And here, it clearly was not.

The cliffhanger at the very end of the seventh episode was to me, confusing and mostly, unnecessary.

The difference between the first and second season is quite large, and I sincerely do hope that Netflix will do something with it in the upcoming third season.

Simply put, Squid Game: Season 2 has a lot of wasted potential.

Season 1 should have remained untouched. After its worldwide success, meeting viewers' expectations was bound to be challenging. This new version suffers from too much dialogue, while the final shootout drags on. I expected more thrilling games-the tension just wasn't there. The police officer's search for the island felt predictable and drawn out. Thanos's performance comes across as melodramatic, and there's a glaring plot hole: why would they allow him to keep his pills while taking away the main characters' tracker? The characters closely resemble their season one counterparts, making the plot too predictable. The season lacked energy and impact. I'm interested to see how they wrap everything up in the final season.

Let me make a different point in this review. There has never been any critique to the capitalist system on squid game, as some may have thought. Ruthless rich exploting people's despair and need for money, much like the current capitalism. The systems that forces us to fight against each other, the poors against the poors. The surveillance and control to manipulate us, and whatever you may see from this game. This was just a delusion. This season is so bad that it even ruins some of the meanings of the first season. There is indeed a huge blind spot in the plot. The protagonist Seong Gi-hun can't be so dumb. It is, make no mistake, but it cannot be this one. He accepts passively all the game to see people dying, losing the possibility to end the game only for a bunch of votes and HE HAS NEVER THOUGHT TO OFFER TO PAY OTHER PLAYERS'S DEBTS WITH ALL HIS DIRTY UNSPENT BILLIONS? This was a much obvious, but meaningful plot. Not apathy first and gunfires later but redemption for all. This is the squid game the world will never watch.

They didn't even develop the antagonists. THERE IS NO INTEREST ON THE RICH WHO ARE FUNDING AND ENJOYING SQUID GAME? No, there is no effort to explore this fundamental aspect, at all. Completely untouched and forgotten. This is even more disappointing.

The rest has been already said: poor plot, bad games, slow, redundant patterns, irrelevant stories, stupid final, and so many other flaws and missed opportunities.

The success of the first season seems now undeserved. The writers were not genius. It was all just pure, meaningless entertainment.

Like a lot of people my family loved the first series, we binged watched it and couldn't wait for the second season...

What a mess they have made of this!

It is nothing but filer for the most part, the story makes very little sense and the characters are unlikable at best.

I'm only being generous giving it a 3 as there was one episode were it somewhat resembled the first series, as in they actually played some games.

I actually said during a couple of the episodes at about halfway through.. "What a bore, there is nothing happening".

Even that last episode when there was some action going on it wasn't the action you want to see in Squid Games, more like the action you see in some B movie.

What a massive shame!

Give this a miss!

That has to be the biggest disappointment of an ending that I have ever seen. It's like you were scratching for a way to get out of this mess and just put together some dumb storyline. The characters were annoying the English dubbing was like watching a 1960's Godzilla movie, characters came and went and had no bearing on the final alleged ending. Episode 1 and 2 were confusing and then the games started and then..., ok this is the squid games we know and love and then it fell flat .You owe us an ending to season 2. Did they stop the games ? Did someone win the prize ? Who won the won 😜 like common man give us a complete story.
