What are your thoughts on the new Squid Game season? In my opinion I would say that the whole season was good up until the Jump Rope game. After that point, there were just some dumb decisions made that they could have circumvented if they had the right strategy. For instance, Gi-Hun said that he would come back for player 222, but it would be almost impossible doing it himself. So what he could have done is he could have had player 333 help carry her, one person carrying her by the legs and the other carrying her by the shoulders. By doing this, they could have distributed the weight of 222 and made it easier for them to jump the rope and the gap in the bridge, with some coordination between 456 and 333. And during the last game, the whole situation on the triangle pillar could have ended differently. I’m talking about right after the other guys turned one of their own into a “lunchbox” to sacrifice him for that round and right after 456 and 333 were attacked. Instead of 333 pushing player 100 off, 456 and 333 could have restrained him and carried both 100 and lunchbox guy over to the circle pillar. After that, they could have thrown 100 off of the pillar and 456, 333, lunchbox, and the baby of 222 would have all survived and gotten out alive. Can you agree with me that this would have been a better outcome overall in the series, especially considering that the alternative was 456 sacrificing himself for the baby? Don’t get me wrong, it’s a noble cause, but it could have happened way better if they thought things through. Do you all agree?
