because the entire last episode is also trash, feels like every character got hella plot armor when they are going against entire armed militas and not getting hit a single time, it feels like such a jump out of no where, one minute your watching the games happen and everyone is average/above average skill wise and the next minute they are perfect soilders feels like I was watching a whole different show
It was pretty good from a writing perspective. Really liked how they dealt with the confliction between greed and security with the xs and os. Pacing felt really good too, I think people complaining about it just wanted to jump straight into the games without fleshing out the characters.
Only problem is that the actual games were a little uninspiring and deaths weren't as dramatic but that's to be expected tbh
there was none of that though, all it really showed was that greed is human nature and people will fall into mob mentality in a crisis. There was no resolution to the moral conflict gihun should have been facing(him participating in the games and people still died, only his friends survived) and the writers just wanted money with the cliffhanger ending.
The fact that there's no resolution makes the writing better. It shows the hypocrisy of gihun ideals, especially with the conversation that frontman and gihun had during the scene where gihun is willing to sacrifice some players 'for the greater good' when his goal was to save everyone in the first place. It links back to the first episode where the recruiter talks about him being trash like everyone else, where you can have all these ideals and aspirations but ultimately the human nature to preserve ones self is king.
yea i can see that. I mean the whole point of the masked man participating in the games was to expose gihuns hypocrisy. But I think there was a chance to show gihuns heroic ideals rather than just completely trashing him. I feel like the whole point of season 2 was to show that gihun was wrong even though they ended s1 and began s2 to make gihun a hero. It was a plot twist but summin that just wasn’t needed.
its a 6/10. You could tell that the director and writers kinda just wanted money from Netflix. It was still good cuz they had really talented actors but the writing fell off compared to season 1. Alot of things that happen will make you mald and the ending too. If I were to compare it to a franchised team s2 would be like KRU eSports or Zeta Division
