SUMMATION: Do you really need one?

QUIP: Squid Game is back, and we are at the end of the long game for real this time. Last season we were introduced to a new crew of 'players', and this time we pick up with the survivors who are still getting down trying to win the big final jackpot. The stakes are still high, the emotions are still emoting, and new games are still being introduced to shake our spirits. I had some faves in this final season that really held it down at the end. It made the slow burn and former introduction narrative from last season worth the stakes. Ultimately, with this season, you get everything tied up, yet...some things still leave you wondering what's what and how's how. But if you paid attention to the tiny details, you can figure out how things end up how they do, and the ending makes sense.

I truly did enjoy what was given because, honestly, at least with the Korean franchise, you can't give any more (in regards to the characters we had) unless you go with origin stories. There were rumors that that might happen, but watching this final season, you get the sense that the creator is exhausted. So, let the creator rest his brain while us fans fill in whatever assumptions and questions that we still have about this world in fanfic and call it a day. The tramua is done...until 'Merica flies in and ruins the franchise. 

Also...there's a cute little cameo towards the end. I talk about it on Threads on why I liked it...but also would have liked it to make sense due to something, you all will find out.

RATING: 4/5 Jump ropes ➰➰➰➰
