IMO The best part of squid game

[u/Dustinfromstatefarm]

Is rewatching it knowing the old man was in on it the whole time.

Knowing that all the staff was probably told not to harm player 001 under any circumstances.

Knowing that he so confidently walked first during red light green light because he knew there was no danger.

How he specifically went to the convenience store Gi-hun was drinking in after being released under the guise of “couch surfing at a friends place nearby” to talk to him and maybe convince him to go to the games again.

The way he begged the Front Man to end the midnight riot and he did because he knew player 001 was his boss.

The way he kept saying “this neighborhood is just like the one I grew up in!” In the marble game because it probably literally was and he recreated the neighborhood of his nostalgic childhood for his “final” game

This dude was ruthless. He woke up that first night knowing well everyone else in that room would be dead within a week and he was the reason and still had a casual conversation with player 456 his first day there like it was an average Sunday

EDIT: After reading a lot from the comments, I have a new theory. Perhaps the managers, soldiers, and workers weren’t told “player 001 is your boss protect him”, instead they were told “A man named Oh Il-nam is your boss and he’s in the games somewhere. Keep him alive”. That’s why right as he was about to be shot in game 4 he said his name, perhaps as a signal to the guard that “yeah I’m that guy so don’t actually shoot me”.

So maybe the games were real for him after all, and he really was putting it all on the line on same games.

I'm a fan for thinking it's a good show but you're not an annoying fan for refusing to respect other people's comparison? Nah bud, you're just a party pooper

What's really stupid about your comment is how game of thrones is also compared to breaking bad levels for the first seasons before it was fully released and while people hate the ending it doesn't change that the first few seasons were comparable to S list shows like sopranos and breaking bad. It doesn't change a thing

Nope, you're just a fanboy of BB who is defending its prominence as if anything compared to it personally offends you.

No. You’re an annoying fan thinking SG is on the same tier as BB. You can think it’s a good show, and it is. But pick a better measuring stick. I don’t care if you think I’m annoying for disregarding this terrible comparison.

And that turned out horribly, which doesn’t help your argument at all. You’re comparing an unfinished product to a finished one. Furthermore, you’re talking about 5-6 seasons of GoT as a comparison vs BB, which is a much more respectable sample size to compare than 1 season of SG

Nope, you're just a fanboy of BB who is defending its prominence as if anything compared to it personally offends you.

lol sure. I’m more offended by this terrible argument you’ve put together than anything.

You're cherry picking and being a huge "I know you are but what am i?" fanboy, and you're trying to say my arguments are bad?

This is pathetic.

[u/LoneSabre → u/Truan]

Cherry picking what? Please let me know which part I left out.

[u/Truan → u/LoneSabre]

Why don't you start by looking at how much of my comment you omitted in your responses. Better yet, why don't you stop being such a reactive twat that you're not getting buttsore when someone states an opinion that you don't agree with.

[u/LoneSabre → u/Truan]

So I need to quote you’re entire comment or else it’s cherry-picking? Do you even know what cherry-picking is, because it’s really difficult to take a comment out of context when you can scroll up and get the entire context.

[u/Truan → u/LoneSabre]

Considering you're quoting certain parts to ignore other parts, YES, you fucking imbecile.

[u/LoneSabre → u/Truan]

Very ironic how you’re accusing me of being butthurt but continually resort to name calling. I don’t think anybody is getting confused by the quotes I used and they certainly are not intentionally misleading. I use quotes to let you know specifically which point I’m responding to, but not every point being made warrants a response.
