Gi-hun’s impact

[001x456]

[hwang-in-ho]

not making any negative comments about that squid game baby in this post specifically, but if the director wanted fans to see an infant baby as “a new hope” for the next generation, doing so by subtly inserting pro-life propaganda in your show (someone has already pointed this out before, but having the only characters who are actively pro-choice and advocating for abortion being in-ho and player 333, aka the “bad guys” says a lot; re this post and this post) and making gi-hun, the most beloved character in the show, die so that baby could live is not exactly how you get most fans to like that baby or see it as a “new hope”.

* “but it’s not the baby’s fault that gi-hun decided to jump” I never say it is. I say it’s a terrible writing decision and a terrible message (let gi-hun die a horrible death after how hard gi-hun fought and after everything he went through). also if you like that baby, good for you. but I’ve also seen a lot of other fans who don’t like her or the plot in general, and that’s justified, valid and understandable.

Squid Game season 3 missed the opportunity to have In-ho grab the mic and say “we could make another baby together 🥺 there wouldn’t be another you, but there would always be another baby, Gi-hun-ssi. I could give you a baby!!!!!!!!!🥺” to Gi-hun when Gi-hun and baby 222 were the last two players left in sky squid game.

Gi-hun saw his chance and took it

saw someone compare people hating the fictional, cgi baby in squid game to real babies dying in gaza and that’s just so. weird?

like. this shouldn’t even have to be said but hating a fictional character is nowhere near a current genocide happening in real life and these two things should never even be in the same conversation.

“but that fictional character is a baby!! how can you hate her?!” it’s still just a fictional character, not even a real child actor but a literal cgi.

comparing people hating a fictional, cgi character to real genocide is. weird.

like I get it if you’re uncomfortable about people hating that squid game baby, but the thing about fictional characters is that anyone is allowed to hate any character they want. it’s fiction meant for entertainment. it’s a TV show.

maybe that’s just me and maybe this will upset someone, but comparing people hating a fictional baby to real babies dying in a genocide is still to me a lot weirder than people not liking a fictional character in a TV show.

And if I say I hate that cgi baby and its weak ass pro-life propaganda more than the VIPs then what 👀

“It’s not pro-life if the baby was born in the end” mind you, didn’t they show Junhee at an abortion clinic in s2 before they made her change her mind? Didn’t they make Gihun tell Junhee how precious the baby was and how she (the baby) must be protected at all costs? Didn’t Junhee’s plot armor run out and she died almost as soon as that thang was out of her womb? Didn’t they kill off several beloved characters just so a 1 day old baby could survive since her life was more important than anybody else’s and the entire plot had to shift to make sure she lived? Didn’t the show already have a history of “being against abortion even if it meant a mother died with that thang” (Inho’s wife)? Didn’t the director say the baby was a “new hope”?

That’s poorly disguised pro-life stance they’re trying to subtly feed audiences lmao. Get it tf out of here

Lee Jung-jae, you and Gihun deserved so much better than this shit. I’m so sorry

[leejungjae456]

Front Man Gi-hun would have been a better, more satisfying ending than the shit show we got and I’m done pretending otherwise.

“But Gi-hun won in the end because he didn’t let the game change him and his sacrifice was the message the show gave—” Gi-hun was already suicidal and he tried killing himself before. His plot armor just ran out because the director decided a random cgi baby’s life was worth more than the healing Gi-hun could have had and no, you cannot change my mind. Also yes, the baby was born but there’s a poorly hidden pro life propaganda in the show when they made Jun-hee change her mind at the last minute at the clinic before she could abort that thang. (I believe that was an abortion clinic we saw Jun-hee at in season 2, but I apologize if I’m wrong.)

If you’re a woman in Squid Game, all you’re good for is being a mother and dying for your infant or unborn baby because their life is worth more than yours and everyone else’s, Jun-hee and In-ho’s wife are examples of that.

And no, this has nothing to do with 457 or any ship. This is just a terrible writing decision and a poorly disguised attempt to convey audience how precious babies’ lives are (“please don’t get an abortion 🥺 abortion is bad, these babies are precious and you should be okay with sacrificing your life for them”)

Fuck off. Abort that thang.

Squid Game season 3 was to me an ad for abortion

“Gi-hun died, but at least his death meant all these characters got to live.” I am going to be very honest and say I don’t give a fuck about these characters who “got to live because Gi-hun killed himself”. Sorry for not caring about side characters when I watch the show for the main characters.

Like. Sure it’s cool they survived because a character who was already suicidal—and had explicitly attempted suicide before—killed himself so a random baby he met a few days ago could live. But you can’t expect audiences to care about random characters, or that cgi baby, when they watch the show for the main characters whom you ruined and butchered in the final season just for some cheap propaganda.

Gi-hun deserved so much better. Lee Jung-jae deserved so much better. No, I won’t shut up about this

[001x456]

you're telling me a pink guard, whose relationship with a player was briefly shown as a subplot, could safely save and remove the player from the island and send him back to the mainland alive. while the front man, whose relationship with gihun is supposed to be "the heart of the show", did nothing but watch gihun with teary eyes the entire time and just let gihun kill himself?

after the director confirmed there was still humanity left in inho? after lee byung-hun said gihun made inho feel a slight wavering of heart, that inho saw himself in gihun and that inho was rooting for gihun?

(byung-hun, I'm so sorry they did your character so dirty. I know how much you love inho and everything you said about him and gihun is what should have been in the show. jung-jae, I'm so sorry gihun was done so dirty too. you both deserve so much better.)

netflix's a jerk for promoting season 3 as 'the clash between gihun and frontman' when gihun and frontman had one scene together that lasted 2 minutes and the rest was just frontman looking at gihun with teary eyes.

would have been so much better if s3 was about inho saving and removing gihun from the game, them actually talking and further developing their dynamics (wouldn't even have to be in a romantic way).

don't get me wrong, I love all the other characters and their stories too, and I'm glad noeul was able to save that player, but it's a terrible idea to shift the focus of the third season to all the side characters and their subplots. because now the two main characters whom netflix promote so heavily were overshadowed to the point they became the side characters instead.

and both of their characters were written so... I don't even know what the fuck that was.
