There's a scene where the protagonist is playing russian roulette with one of the bad guys and when he's down to the last two chambers (they don't spin the gun) the bad guys says "Yeah you could just shoot me, but then you'd just be like all the rest, a piece of trash. You just got lucky." and then to prove a point Mr. Squid Game doesn't just shoot the other guy, but instead takes the 1:2 chance and makes it. Then he passes the gun to the other guy.
When the villain had that monologue I was so ready for the protagonist to go "yeah I did just get lucky, what are you even going on about? I know I'm not special." and then shoot him or something.
How many netflix failsons were allowed to give notes on this?
I watched all of season 2. It's basically a complete rehash of season 1, down to the thematic beats and all. Some new games and characters try to fool the viewer, but there's not much novel substance to it and it ends on a cliffhanger.
So they just tried to do the same thing twice. What a waste
