squid game season 3 was a waste of incredible characters, talent and plot.
my take on whatever just happened because i can’t keep it in LMAO:
the lack of screen time for gihun and inho was genuinely one of the worst things they could have done; gihun doesn’t know that inho and junho are brothers, inhos backstory, how inho was in the same position as him etc. gihun asked no questions when he had the opportunity, which is so out of character and takes away from the plot completely.
the amount of mischaracterisation. of course, i’m just saying this as a fan, but what they did with daeho made absolutely no sense in general, or for him as a character. while on the topic of daeho, it made no sense for gihun to hunt him down and murder him with his bare hands. gihun’s character has always been against violence, always putting his morals first but fighting back when needed. the attack was so incredibly out of character and unneeded. further, myunggi’s character was completely misconstrued (to clarify, i am anything BUT a myunggi glazer i’ve disliked that ho since s2😭). yes, he was an asshole, but he clearly did not kill just for fun. he made his care for junhee evident throughout s2 and even the beginning of s3, so why the fuck did they decide to take his smaller traits of valuing money and violence so far and make him go batshit crazy? it makes very little sense.
junhee and her baby. why, WHY was the baby the main character? the women were all killed off as soon as possible, the baby was prioritised over the mother; the misogyny isn’t even hidden anymore. gihun was barely even the main character. at this point, it honestly feels like squidgame was to encourage the increase of south korean birthrates????😭
the finalists. why were they a bunch of randoms? there were so many well built characters; hyunju, daeho, namgyu, who could’ve provided a much more in depth and intense fight (like namgyu v minsu) with ACTUAL BACKGROUND. these characters were people none of us cared about, because they were not developed whatsoever!!!!! player 100 somehow made it all the way through by being a man and a cunt, hyunju deserved better.
hwang brothers. “Hyung… why?!” that’s fucking it. that’s IT. junho acquired a fucking baby and some new yaoi but didn’t even get to talk to his brother after searching for so long? their relationship didn’t get developed at all this season and it just feels so out of place.
noeul’s storyline. i like her, and i believe she could’ve been a good character, so why did they introduce a side plot that has absolutely NO relevance to anything else? like yeah, it was cute, he got out and saved his daughter, but WHY DID IT HAPPEN??? THERE IS NO EXPLANATION OR BUILDING ON IT!!!
thank you if you read my rant. 💗
+++ namgyu was honestly funny as fuck (though i feel like he was mischaracterised a bit too), but WHYYYY was his death so bleak and just BRUSHED OFF like that💔💔💔
