Squid Game 2 Review
Positives
1. Games (Very little, but they are there at least )
2. Less gore (Showing doctor operating body parts scenes are unnecessary from the first season itself)
3. No 18+ Scenes (Little surprise since those are the scenes where most of the web series are obsessed with)
Negatives
Literally everything else
1. Too much conversation (25% Games, 75% Talking)
2. Zero character development (Despite having lot of conversations)
3. Cliché mom son sentiment (No one is asked for)
4. Forced comedies (Not funny at all)
5. 'Motivational speech to sudden changes of action' during games
6. Unlike threatening villain gang of players in season 1, this villain gang players are just some irritating little br*ts who take dr*gs and do reels. Don't make any impact on the story
7. Voting process after every game is nothing but an excuse to milk more duration of the episode
8. No emotional connect to the viewers to either players nor their relationships unlike the first season where
SPOILER
The marble Game between lead character and the old man, lead character's friend and hindi speaking guy, lead actress and a girl who wished to be happy in a vacation after game ends but ultimately all of their dreams and lives comes to end before their closed one's eyes (except old man, but atleast for a while)
SPOILER ENDS
Those scenes are the most emotional ones.
9. Stone face lead character. It's fine that he isn't the same one after what happened in the past. But still the season's tone is same as the last one itself, so carrying the same anger expression throughout the season looks weird on many occasions where everyone else doing funny conversations.
10. Like the first season,
SPOILER
the front man's brother doing something from the beginning, but have no impact on the story at all. Better let him die in the first season itself. His snail paced searching process is only good to drag the episode on the other side.
SPOILER ENDS
Rating
1.5/5
Just finish this crappy story as soon as possible, and create fresh one with new characters. Make the lead character from this season a cameo for the new story if it really needs for the sake of the original, but don't overdoing it.
Edit: Spoiler is not working. So mentioned that as text.
