This post contains spoilers for "squid play".

Do you remember the great robotic doll (named Young-h) from the red light, the green light challenge in "Game of squid?" Of course you are doing. This robotic doll is synonymous with the calculated cruelty of the season 1 games, which is a subversion of harmless childhood games into something completely malicious. In fact, the young doll is a wake -up call for every unwanted participant, as the shots that follow his eyes and Singong's voice expose the true nature of the games for the first time. The game of the game of Season 2 also opens with a red light, green light, resulting in the death of many despite the desperate attempts by Gi-Jun (Lee Jung-Aei) to help everyone crosses safely.

Maybe you also remember that The final loans for "squid play" Season 2 have indicated a new match in which Young-HE participatesBut this time, we also see a huge boy's doll (named Cheol-Su) dressed in a colorful shirt and hat. Players 100, 096 and 353 are seen approaching the robotic dolls, while the stop -light flashes from red to green to cut in black. While The absolute shock of the end of Downer on Season 2 You may have overshadowed the hints that this short tease offers, the best (and the most dangerous) game of Season 3, finally shows us the big picture. Yes, I'm talking about the penultimate game with a rope, in which the Yang-Hell and Cheol-Su dolls look at each other while mechanically working with a massive, deadly rope with a jump at the top of a narrow bridge.

Now, this type of time tied, jumping on rhythm is enough challenge, but "squid playing" worsens things by locating them on an elevated platform. The goal is to direct your jumps as you move forward on the narrow bridge, which also has a huge gap halfway. This echoes the tense tension of the War of the Season 1, along with the funny playing of the Hops, where the players had to intuitively jump on the tempered glass to avoid falling to their deaths. Although the dolls do not use their nasty eyes to scan the participants this time, the fear of jumping or simply imposing/falling out of the shelf is so visceral that such theaters are no longer necessary to strengthen the stakes.

Some of the participants we were rooting are already dead until the challenge of jumping with a rope is introduced. Player 120/Hyun-Yu (Park Sung-Hun) is frivolously pierced with a knife In the previous match, the duo of the mother-son of Geum (Kang A-Sim) and Jong-Siq (Young Dong-Geun) die under tragic circumstances. Meanwhile, Yun-H/player 222 (Hori) safely gave birth to his child, but leaves nurturing the terribly broken ankle right before the penultimate game. With the life of a newborn to be threatened (since gaming manufacturers are crazy enough to consider the baby as a participant), GI-Hun is intensifying and taking responsibility to jump with the child. Since player 222 is not strong enough to stand properly, Gi-Hun promises to return to her and help her move safely. However, it becomes clear early that such well -intentioned empathy has no place in such a cruel world.

After Giu-Hun gathers enough courage and jumps with the child without incident, he is trying to quickly use the rest of the finish so he can go back and help player 222. This is obviously an awkward situation, as some very unwanted participants resort to pushing people off the shelf. The inconvenient, misogystic us/player 124 is drunk in painful death by the shy Min-Su/player 125 (Lee David), who is experiencing a hallucinatory trip sparked by guilt (thanks to the crucifixion of Thanos' drugs). Several players die either by accident or because of malice, such as when the participant who does so threatens to make anyone who dares pass. The pure anxiety of the massive jumping rope swinging wickedly between the dolls, and people fall helplessly to their death, as time continues to tick, it forms a reckless blend of chaos and horror.

While "squid playing" highlighted the themes of unverified greed and opportunism since its first season, the jumping rope game brings these impulses to extremes. There are times when these behaviors come out as cartoon evil, but it may be so common selfishness, as people are constantly ready to hurt others to advance. Innocent people like Yun-ha and gum. Gi-Hun is the only ray of hope in such a situation: his empathy towards others that appear as the most radical thing that exists in the history of the games.

"Game of squid" is currently moving to Netflix.
