Let’s talk about Squid Sport Season 3 as a result of I’m nervous about the way it will finish.
If you already know me, you’ll see that I’m in all probability one of many largest supporters of this sequence. From the second it got here out as one of many finest exhibits to binge on Netflix, till we needed to wait years for it to return for Season 2, and we discovered why the video games within the second season have been cut up into two, I’ve been a fan.
South Korean tv has significantly given us among the finest exhibits of the final decade. However, I’m involved – and it’s primarily as a result of one little side from the primary season would possibly return within the Season 3 finale – and I actually don’t need that to be the case.
And it includes demise. As a result of, in fact, it does. Let’s get into it.
The Second Season Actually Upped The Stakes
Probably the greatest issues about Squid Sport Season 2 is that the stakes felt upped, like, loads—to the purpose the place I wanted to resume my Netflix subscription to ensure each single individual in my household had the prospect to look at it. I actually loved it.
The primary episode’s huge twist with the gun, the loopy change in video games, and the whole lot else- there was a lot going for it. These seven episodes have been among the finest hours of my viewer life as a result of I used to be locked the heck in.
And you already know what? That’s a difficult process to perform when the stakes for this present are already excessive sufficient as it’s with the premise. It’s actually a battle to the demise in each season, which in flip will result in a whole lot of fan-favorites dying. So, making an attempt to up the stakes for a present like that is already spectacular in itself.
However that brings me to my largest fear: I don’t need that to occur once more.
However I Actually Hope They Don’t Simply Kill Everybody Once more – Particularly The Fan Favorites
Okay, look, I know that is Squid Sport. I do know persons are going to die. I’m not an fool.
Belief me, after twenty-six years of dwelling, you don’t undergo all these surprising Sport of Thrones moments or these heartbreaking The Strolling Useless deaths or anything with out rising a reasonably shell. I do know that demise is inevitable in the case of these sorts of exhibits.
However on the identical time, I can’t assist however need one thing a little totally different from what we got on the finish of the primary season, and even a little bit bit on the finish of the second season as nicely. And I understand how the finale of Season 2 ended – that it actually does really feel like a lot of persons are going to die.
Nonetheless, I don’t need that to occur. Like, in any respect, and it’s not for the explanation you in all probability assume. The primary season had a great share of memorable deaths from characters that folks completely liked – I can’t inform you what number of fan edits I noticed of them on-line.
And for that, it makes the present unforgettable. That’s what Sport of Thrones did. That sequence was not afraid to kill off its fundamental characters within the first season. That’s what led it to develop into an HBO sequence that the world spoke about. And it’s okay to do this.
Even so, I’ve my causes as to why I don’t need that to be the top of this present, and for the sequence to repeat, but once more, a mass killing. Let’s get into why.
Whereas It Would Be Heartbreaking, It Would Go Towards All the things The Present Has Fought For
Sure, this sequence would in all probability be remembered for a very long time after its finish if it determined to kill everybody but once more. However that will go fully in opposition to what the present has fought for.
Ever since Squid Sport started, it’s been this sequence that’s based mostly on the enterprise of capitalism and the determined nature people inherently must survive and do something to make a greater dwelling for themselves, even kill others. It’s the identical system that Gi-hun tried to miserably finish in Season 2 earlier than the guards and the Entrance Man captured him.
To have all that ripped away so simply could be a mockery of what this present has been making an attempt to say, that even when we’ve got this oppressive system that’s hammering down on regular residents equivalent to ourselves, we will struggle again, if solely we strive, to vary the system.
Certain, not in the best way that Gi-hun is doing, as a result of that is at an excessive, however you get the image.
And in the event that they have been simply to kill everybody once more to point out “Oh, the dangerous guys at all times win in the long run as a result of they cheat or they’ve energy” or one thing else, it could devastate the themes and morality of the sequence as a complete. To look at a monumental transgender girl shot down in chilly blood would break my coronary heart. To see a pregnant girl taken out due to her despair to offer for her youngster is my worst nightmare.
Sure, it could be a hellish method to finish this sequence…However I actually don’t need it to guide in that path once more. As a substitute, I’ve an answer.
I Virtually Hope That The Individuals Make It Whereas The Entrance Man And Gi-hun Take Every Different Out
I do know that Gi-hun is the main protagonist of the Squid Sport solid. We should always root for him. However I really hope the sequence ends with each him and the Entrance Man lifeless.
This begins and ends with them. This sequence has relied on their backs for as long as this cat-and-mouse sport has performed out between them, particularly in Season 2. In my thoughts, I might do something to see one huge standoff between these two, and someway, the contestants who’re nonetheless in that bunk room escape.
It wouldn’t be straightforward, or pain-free. I’m certain there could be loads of bullets flying and blood spraying alongside the partitions prefer it’s some new type of cologne they want to share with everybody, however it could be higher than everybody dying and someway leaving Gi-hun on their own as soon as extra.
I don’t know; perhaps it’s simply my coronary heart desirous to see this sequence someway have a comparatively completely happy ending. I’m unsure if that’s fully attainable, however I can not less than see some bittersweet conclusion if solely these two went out, however the others survive. A sacrifice. A willingness. Something.
Both method, Squid Sport Season 3 goes to be popping out very quickly in June 2025 as a part of the 2025 TV schedule, so we’ll get our solutions quickly sufficient. Till then, I’ll sit right here biting my nails as nervousness rockets by way of each vein in my physique for the way this iconic present will inescapably finish.
