Here are the best episodes in Squid Gam👍e Season 2!

The creator, writer, and director . He had a lot of trouble getting people on board with a show that was viewed as very violent, confusing, and over the top. These qualms obviously now don't hold much weight, as Squid Game is a worldwi💟de success. We did, however, not🐷ice some confusing, difficult moments and parts of this new season.

10 W♔hy Does Kang Dae-ho Panic?

Big Tiger? More Like Little Kitten

Kang Dae-ho talking on a walkie-talkie trying to get ammunition in Squid Game Season 2.

Kang Dae-ho says he was a Marine, and he has a tattoo to prove it. He certainly acts and sounds like a Marine, saluting, yelling, and his name even means 'big tiger.' When the plan to rebel is fully happening, and when he 💝was tasked with bringing more ammunition back, he panics and ends up staying behind, leaving his group without any ammunition.

  1. Is this PTSD?
  2. Was he ever in the Marines?
  3. Why is he in the Squid Game in the first place?

His character is well-rounded and adds a lot to the show; however, in this season, we are unsure of exactly who Kang Dae-ho is and why he acts the way he ꦕdoes.

9 ဣ Why The Good-Looking Fella? 𒁃

Catch Me If You Can

Mannequin depicting The Recruiter used by the hired men to find The Recruiter in Squid Game Season 2.

What in the world is going on here? When all the hired henchmen were in search of The Recruiter, at the meeting, they had a mannequin representing The Recruiter. "He's a good-looking fඣella in a nice suit, with a briefcase in hand." Why did they need to put a cut-out image on this mannequin's face? What was the point of this?

Here are the best plot twists in Sq꧃uid Game season 2!

The mannequin was about six feet tall, and it did have a center hair part similar to The Recruiter, but it was so random it felt comedic. Everyone took pictures, and dur🔯ing the scene, Choi Woo-seok tells everyone the Recruiter carries a briefcase full of money and that The Recruiter plays ddakji. However funny it may be, the mannequin is over the top.

8 The Bread Or Lo🐟tte✤ry Game

Do You Want To Play A Game?

Bread or Lottery game from The Recruiter in Squid Game Season 2.

This game fits perfectly with The Recruiter. It's cruel, odd, and intense. However, it is sort of out of nowhere. Does this scene need to 🍃happen at all?

There are definitely attempts to add new games and add new thought-provoking elements, and this game is a good try at both of those things, and it does add to The Recruiter's story, but it largely doesn't move the story further or contain any pivotal information. We know what The Recruiter is capable of, so his weir♔d 'hobbies?' are unnecessary.

7 🦩 ꦕ Where Did The Bee Come From?

A Bit Unbee-lievable

A bee landing on a player during Red Light, Green Light in Squid Game Season 2.

In the third episode, during Red Light, Green Light, Kang Mi-na stops moving, and while holding still🦂, a bee lands on her neck, cau෴sing her to scream. She moves and is killed. What doesn't make sense is that the bee appears seemingly out of nowhere.

Characters are rarely bothered by outside forces during the games, as the ar꧙enas are very tightly organized and purposefully contained. The bee landing on her neck isn't specifically said to have come from the higher-ups, but to the outside observer, it s𓆉eems like the game was moving too slow for the creators' liking, so they put the bee in the game. Are the creators capable of doing this more?

6 Why Didn't The Guards Take Thanos' Drugs?

Curiously Strong Mints

Thanos is about to take his drugs during the Squid Game.

Early and ꦕoften, Thanos takes a pill of something inside the cross in his necklace. One question is why didn't the guards take these from him? Did they let him keep them because they thought it would make 🦂for more interesting games?

Survival is in their own hands.

If they took the GPS tracker out of the back of Gi-hun's mouth before the Squid Game, they definitely searched and found Thanos'sdrugs. They're really powerful, and they seem to affect him almost instantly. Whether the guards thought they were mints or drugs, it is inconceivable that they went unnoticed as the guards took players' cloth🤪es, shoes, phones, and even teeth, so why did they let him keep them?

5 How Did The Tracker Tooth Go 𝓀Missing?

Maybe It Was The Tooth Fairy?

Gi-hun pulls out his tooth right before Red Light, Green Light in Squid Game.

In the second episode, Seong Gi-hun 🌟had a tooth removed and replaced by a fake tooth with a tracking device. When he wakes up in the game, and is in the holding area, he checks to see that his tracker is still in place, which at the time it seemed to be. When he is playing Red Light, Green Light, he checks again, and he pulls out the tooth to reveal that the tracker is gone.

The crew looking for him end up finding it in a fisher's bait. What doesn't make sense here is why didn't he realize it was missing the first time he checked, and why did he all of a sudden check once Red Light, Green Light started? It made foꦑr a more intense, well-timed moment, but it seems random that he nervously checks and realizes in that moment ༺that the tracker is gone.

4 Six-Legged Pentathalon

Celebrate Good Times

Celebrating winning six legs in Squid Game.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:During this iconic game, when Cho Hyun-ju (player 120) and their team win, all the players in the Squid Game celebrate. Player 001 is ecstﷺatic, and all the other players jumped around and cheered for this seemingly amazing thing, as they are the first team to win the game.

The gaming will not stop.

If the vote of 183-182 meant anything, it should have meant that 183 people were mad that a team of five people was advancing. Players like player 100, Im Jeong-dae, should have been 🎃upset. The excitement makes sense to a small degree, in the feeling of 'oh this is possible, we can do this.' But at large, the celebration and comradery goes against the strong division൲ elements seen in the form of voting, and the X's and O's velcro-ed to players' uniforms.

3 ꩲ Why Does Player 001 Stay In The G𝄹ame?

Should I Stay Or Should I Go

Hwang In-ho (or the Front Man) as a contestant of the Squid Game.

Getting past the repeated storyline of Seong Gi-hun not suspecting that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Player 001 was the Front Man, why did In-ho stay in the game past when his vote kept the games going? If he lost a game, would the🍸 guards have shot him? The guards know who he is. In the fifth episode, he tries to convince everyone to stop the game. This was another lie, right? Like when he said he needed to join the games for his wife and child? Or was he predicting൩ the majority would still vote to continue the games? In the final episode of the season, his vote to leave makes it a 50-50 tie. He probably knew what would happen that night.

When Gi-hun comes up with a plan to try to rebel against the guards, and put a stop to the games, In-ho says he's in, adding, "Are you suggesting that we make ♛a small sacrifice for the greater good?" This implies that he may have a utilitarian, twisted moral backbone or sorts, but ultimately in the end, he ends up stealthily re-masking, killing two players, and taking his place as the Front Man again, so did everything go according to plan?

2 🀅 Na-yeon And Kang No-eul 𝔉

Rabbit Hunting

Kang No-eul taking a break after working her amusement park job in Squid Game.

In Episode 2, Kang No-eul is working at an amusement park dressed as a rabbit when she hands a small child a lollipop. She goes back to her dressing room t♛o take off her headpiece with everyone else, where Na-yeon (the child) somehow manages to follow them inside. She gives No-eul a picture of the tw🧸o of them that her dad presumably drew, and it's revealed that Na-yeon has blood cancer and needs a bone marrow transplant. It makes No-eul a more rounded character if she joins partly because of Na-yeon, as she becomes a sniper in the games.

She seemed pretty down, taking pills and drinking in her car pre-Squid Game, and she burned the picture of Na-yeon and her when she enlisted in the game. When she is in the actual Squid Game, it is revealed that one of the officers recruited her early on. Originally, No-eul was told she would be putting people out of their misery. Instead, when she tries to do that this season, she gets into trouble. Her character arc is all around fascinating and confusinꦏg.

1 The Police Not Taking Hwang Jun-ho S♋e♉riously

The Boy Who Cried Squid

Hwang Jun-ho looking at his reflection in Squid Game season 2.

In this season, Jun-ho resigned from his police job, and then went back to ask the Chief to help him find the island. Nobody♏ takes him seriously, and they encourage him to go to therapy. They want evidence, they say.

What's frustrating about this is that the Squid Game has been going on for over 33 years. If there are presumably 456 players participating every year, that's at least 15,000 people dead from the games so far. Not counting the public scene when The Recruiter stomped on the breaꦺd in broad daylight, these games must be known to more people. The police not taking Hwang Jun-ho seriously is crucial to the overall story's believability, but it is by far the hardest and🙈 most confusing thing to grasp in this season.
