This article contains spoilers For “squid game” season 3, episode 6, “humans are …”
“Squid Game” ended with season 3, but the franchise will continue to continue in the foreseeable future. The creator of the Hwang Dong-Hyuk series has ideas for a spin-off while David Fincher is already working on a new “Squid Game” show, so there are many more deaths of pastel colors and disturbing play games on the horizon. Before achieving this, however, there is an important question to settle.
The show has always turned around two things: the game itself and Seong Gi-Hun (Lee Jun-Jae) try to survive and potentially overthrow it. The variations in the game are clearly intended to last as long as it takes advantage of Netflix, but how is Gi-Hun doing in its task? Does he manage to survive the final of the series to continue to rage against the machine in the future?
Unfortunately, no, Gi-Hun does not survive. Although the single winner is once again one of the last two competitors of the final event of the game, his Sky Squid game ends with a dramatic dive at his death as a man (Lee Byung-Hun) and the VIPs observe.
After three seasons, Gi-Hun finally falls
On the last pillar of the Sky Squid Game, only Gi-Hun, Jun-Hee’s baby (Jo Yu-Ri), and the father of the baby Myung-Gi (IM Si-Wan). All three are active players, and you have to die for the game to end.
Gi-Hun’s priority is to protect the baby, so he doesn’t make you his own life. However, Myung-Gi survived so far by being Wily and finds impossible to believe that Gi-Hun would sacrifice itself like that. Things soon degenerate in a major fight between the two adult players, who ends up with the two suspension for the expensive life on the side of a pillar. Myung-Gi obtains the raw agreement here, while he clings to the Gi-Hun jacket, which is tearing and the young competitor plunges to his destiny. Just like that, Gi-Hun won the match and saved the baby … or would have done so, if it was not the fact that they have not yet pressed the button that starts the tour. This gives him only one option: he starts the tour and sacrifices himself.
The last words of Gi-Hun are a version of his speech “I’m not a horse” of “One Lucky Day”, the final of season 1. “We are not horses”, begins Gi-Hun. “We are humans, and humans are …” he stops, as if he lacked words. Instead of ending the speech, he allows himself to fall from the pillar, plunging back in the waiting abyss. Although viewers are tempted to think that the protagonist who has long suffered deceives the organization with a kind of last minute ploy to get their hands on the man before and the VIPs, this is not at all what is happening. The death of Gi-Hun is very real, and the show confirms it later by cutting his corpse, the lifeless eyes that raised.
A great final force test has never been in the cards for the squid game
Again and again, “Squid Game” clearly shows that there are no winners in the dark world of the series. Even the two previous game winners, Gi-Hun and The Front Man, are joyful shells that are dedicated to resolved missions: the first wants to believe in humanity and drop the game, while the men’s forehead accepted its disposable cog in the machine and embraced the inherent nihilism at the heart of the game.
Because it is far from being a traditional situation with good and clear bad guys (apart from the VIPs funded by the game, which sucks but are essentially untouchable), it is normal that the show has never tried a traditional confrontation between Gi-Hun and people behind the game. You cannot tear an organization like this with punch and classic shootings, just as Gi-Hun has stored arms. Fortunately, the way things take place for the character could work well even better.
By allowing a helpless baby to become the winner, Gi-Hun breaks the game of philosophy of “only the most opportunistic”, thus proving the nihilist front that there is still good in humanity and by effectively winning their long philosophical battle. Interestingly, the front man visits Los Angeles later to make sure that the Gi-Hun family is planned, which is precisely what Gi-Hun did for the relatives of the finalists of season 1 of season 1 “. The future potential benefits could reveal if it is a sign of the message of Gi-Hun finally going through the front … And if that leads to Gi-Hun may well have a more important impact than it could have hoped for.
“Squid Game” is now in difficulty in its entirety on Netflix.
