The marble game rules state that to win you must collect the opponents 10 marbles. The rules do not state you must have all 20. Simply exchange marbles and both players have satisfied the winning condition. Everyone could have survived the marble game.

[@gucare]

Hear, hear. Just thinking that

[@Shinius]

"It violates the whole 'everyone has a fair chance' motto". That's the point. The show is a critique of capitalism. And the idea of meritocracy. The people at the top NEED you to think that you can be rich someday otherwise you won't 'play the capitalist game'. If they told you "You will stay at your dead end job, barely making enough to live until you die" People might stop trying or just kill themselves. The Frontman saying everyone is equal, but in actuality that not being the case is on purpose. Same shit with the glass breaking. If the system was a true meritocracy, Sae-byeok would've won, she was the most capable character in the entire show. But LUCK killed her off, much the same way that in capitalism, it's said to be a meritocracy, but some people are born rich, some people are born with a disability. Luck determines so much of your life and just like how it felt unfair for Sae-byeok dying, it's unfair that people born in first world nations will do better than people born in war-torn third world nations.

[@elizabethlee2136]

Yeah I think Matt Patt is a hopeful kinda guy. And he lucked out in the algorithm and so he might have a different look at the world. I think a lot of people take the messages of equality seriously, especially if they have a little taste of the pie. It's not being bad its just having a positive attitude. Kinda like the Frontman. I think he might think the Game is good. I We can tell parables about togetherness and humanity, but Gi Hoon wins even though he's mediocre. And success and appeal is just as random. You come up with a billion dollar idea or you are a dude. Even evil capitalism doesn't rule the day. Fate does. Gihoon survive because of his good heart and caring for others. It's ironic and tragic mean no matter what Sang Woo did that he did not want to do, he was going to lose and people who run our world are Sang Woo. There are no VIP. it's the pessimist drive to wealth that is what operates it. And in the end it doesn't cure his depression save his mom or do anything. Next time you feel insignificant or broke or envious, really sit with those feelings. Your problems aren't more important then you are

[@nantenin123]

I don’t think he understands that this game isn’t in the benefit of the players, but for the entertainment of the VIPS i.e more deaths = more cash for the players and entertainment because not every one gets to win the game. Although I agree that Sangwoo should have played with his team instead of against them. But even if it hints at the fact that there can be multiple winners, that’s not the goal. Otherwise they wouldn’t have incorporated the subgames like the riot, or the knife hand-off after dinner. It hinted at that, the moment they gave them a waver to make it seem like it’s all about free choice but while in private they instigate violence resulting in more deaths, burn them alive and use their bodies for organ donation. But I agree with his theory on how to win as a team.

[@Inaresco]

I dont think u properly listened to the video

[@nantenin123]

Nooo…….I listened well I’m just responding to the part where he was referring to the premise that everyone could have won if they worked together instead of against each other but I disagree because the game was not designed for them to trust each other enough to work as a team. Even if they did, it was shortly lived ones they teamed up only to play against each other in the marble game

[@ellie-angel9254]

I think he was just trying to point out what the players themselves were in control of and could have changed, knowing full well that the VIPs weren't going to change THEIR behavior. Forgoing everything else, if more people had teamed up to survived the riots, half of those survivors would have made it through until the glass bridge. Even if it was just 25 or 50 more people (less than half or a quarter of Mat's best-case scenario) that made it to the bridge, that game and the squid game could have ended very differently and with a lot more winners. It's not about the VIPs necessarily, it's about being smart enough to recognize & not take their (in my opinion VERY obvious) bait and manipulation. Like he said at the beginning, this is what "you" (the watcher) could do if you found yourself tossed into the games.

[@TwilightFox777]

"I don't remember any of the characters hiding behind others in Red Light Green Light" Sang Woo does it when he tells Gi about the timer, and so does Sae Beouk when she pulls Doek Su's hair.

[@adeviantproduction]

Glass bridge - Tie your shoes together and use them nunchuck style to test bash the glass panels ahead of you. Marble game - Just trade your 10 marbles with your partner's. They didn't say you needed to get their marbles "first" or keep your own marbles.

[@KenFromchicago]

Greg, we SAW players go ahead of other in the glass bridge game. One player simply stopped and demanded other players go ahead of him. Remember? 🤔 Also, Film Theory, each player had an equal chance of being injured by the exploding glass and ALL of the players were disadvantaged by the change in lights--equally. 👍🤣

[@angryangro2139]

YES!! chances were always equal!

[@braidij7598]

Exactly. They turned off the lights because 1 person could tell the difference when others couldnt, making it unfair. Turning off the lights meant that no players could tell the difference, which balances it out again

[@som3bode577]

Yea, that's a problem I find with this theory, is that even if the glass manufacturer had told everyone else on how to tell the difference between the tiles, the Frontman would've turned off the lights anyways for the whole game then everyone would be back at square 1. And also I don't agree with Matpat's problem with the glass tiles exploding, there had to be A WAY to eliminate those that didn't finish; if the alternative was the guards shoot at those who didn't finish, they probably would've shot each other on the other side or the surviving contestants on accident.

[@SemperCopacetic]

@@jennv2948 I mean, when your back is against the wall and the alternative is take a 50/50 shot where one outcome is death, you get creative & you're willing to do & try anything as the show itself has shown us (i.e. Gi-hun licking the sugar cookie, player 212 using a lighter to heat up her needle, or using Il-Nam's advice during Tug of War). As far as the shoes you just need a clue, any clue to eliminate one of them not break the glass necessarily.Someone on Reddit suggested piling a bunch of shoes in a jacket, tying the sleeves and swinging it like a hammer to try to see which one would crack or even break. I'm sure if Il-Nam had made it to this round, he would've had some type of insight of using the only things at their disposal to get through; their clothes and their shoes.

[@Xedllin]

I remember reading As the Gods Will which also has the setup of "certain amount of individuals having to go through children's game turned deadly" and in that other than psychopathic individuals almost everyone was trying to at the very least survive with others since as the saying goes "safety in numbers"

[@yantodh4607]

it's just an illusion that the game can have many winners. i think even the log book mentions only 1 winner per year. if u tell 456 people only one can win, people would be inclined to not try and just give up. If u tell them many can win, u get their hopes up to participate. one winner per year is also the safest thing for the game creator to do. if 10 people win the game, what's stopping them to report to the police at the same time? it's easy to dismiss a wild crazy story from 1 person, it's harder to dismiss it from 10 people.

[@jinrosemont3132]

That's true but the games take place over a series of days - whether it's during lunch or shortly before bed, there are hours that probably aren't shown where the characters are probably twiddling their thumbs in their bunks and coming down from the adrenaline high. They'd at least be able to think rationally enough to realize SOME of these things during those hours. At the very least the "I should take what I can into the games" thing.

[@nzstump0152]

That intro had John unveiling his Ryan the right alter ego

[@thorned_sakura]

Matpat's theory reminds me of a Japanese drama of the same genre titled "liar game". In the drama, players are given the opportunity to work together to win the games, but in every round, there would always be someone who'd betray the team for their personal agenda. So, while working together may be the ideal way to go through the games, it's not really the most realistic, especially considering the players are strangers to each other.

[@tarisblvck2156]

If you learn the rules of Squid Game, it's a team based game. Multiple people could've been on the offense and ended up winning or losing.

His argument for the glass part isn't good. If he could tell the glass from the beginning then the front man would have switched off the lights early on

[@atkim122]

Sang Woo at first seemed selfish to withhold from his friends that the shapes meant they were playing the honeycomb game. But what if there was a twist that we never got on the show,; that only the top 25 fastest finishers in each shape category advanced to game 3? So even if triangle was easiest, Sang Woo's friends become his direct competition. As it turned out, a player's only competition was the clock (and the honeycomb itself), but at that moment Sang Woo had to consider all possibilities.

[@sayheyguy]

I think he's incorrect about that there can be more than one winner. I think they explicitly said at one point that only one person can win, and the final Squid Game only one person can teach the squids head. Also, when the cop saw the list of past winners there was only one winner each year.

[@BasicBodThor]

This is not true. The first scene in the series explains how squid game works and there were multiple kids on offense and defense. If offense gets to the end that team wins, if defense stops them, that team wins. Squid Game (the actual game not the show) is a team game for kids, it's not played 1v1. And the fact that only 1 winner occurred each year just means that the way people played the game was the same, doesn't mean that only one winner could ever be crowned.

[@andromeda156]

I agree. The VIPs are betting on a winner, one winner.

[@janefrancesjfg]

I dont think they mentioned there would be only one winner so the players perceived that there can be multiple winners as long as they passed the 6 games.

[@angelicapsh]

@@BasicBodThor you forgot the vips. the vips forced them to fight for each other for their own entertainment. so they wont allow multiple winners on that survival game

[@peterstuart5640]

I just watched this theory was a good video

[@VMYeahVN]

I think some of Film Theory's arguments in that video are a bit flawed. Similar to how he points out the players taking the "default" rules of the games at face value, i think he's taking the concept that the Frontman and the VIPs want the games to be fair at face value. If it was truly possible or desired for there to be able to be multiple winners, letting players kill each other after the third game and more particularly, providing the final 3 a knife, letting one get killed and then stopping the final two from killing each other kinda proves the desire is for it to get down to one on one. They want the player to have the illusion of fairness while still tipping the scales where they see fit.

[@atkim122]

My criticism of some games is that there's no sure guarantee there would be any survivors. Hypothetically, mass panic could've set in and everyone could've ran (and died) during red/green light. Hypothetically, every one of the sweet 16 could've failed to cross the glass bridge. It seemed important to the VIPs that some survivors make it to game 6 (so they could keep betting), and that's why the guards prevented Gi Hun from killing Sang Woo in anger after Sae-Byeok's death. By contrast, tug-o-war and marbles guarantees a certain percentage of winners.

[@Paul20661]

Get you headphones set and ready Let's go ❤️

[@Emma-zc5jm]

Leave it to Matpat to have a libertarian take on Squid Game, causing him to miss the point while telling others they (also) missed the point. Edit: you're not supposed to want to win this game lmfao, if that's what you came out of the show thinking about, you missed the point. Edit 2: "I didn't like that the game masters cheated and turned off the lights, that goes against their moto" THAT'S LITERALLY THE POINT OF THAT SCENE MATPAT. THE ONLY POINT HERE IS FOR THE SPECTATORS TO "HAVE FUN"

[@Behtabeats]

Love the rejects

[@jonathanleebh]

I disagree on the approach that on the glass stepping game on the use of clause 3 to be activated, the show made sure of that by first letting them out, showing them if you opt out now, your life will be back to miserable, that point reinforces that even there's last 13 of them the chances of them having "cold feet" or bailing out is not going to happen, regardless of the first 9 will be a sure elimination, they would still not opt out, and you have to put the gambler's psychology in to consideration, those people have nothing to lose and sheer will to gamble, even the chances are as low as 10 percent, the would rather take the risk than to opt out, and also, it's easy for mat to do calculations at the comfort of his home, but when you are put into the spot on the edge of going through the stepping glass game, i would very much believe even mat would be so stressed and in fear that he might not be able to be so rational and making those calculations, as the saying goes "easier said than done"

[@stephenr9204]

The glass bridge was hopscotch. I get why some think it was unfair for them to turn off the lights on the glass maker, he was the only player who had that type of knowledge which gave him an advantage.

The ending should of been qui jon getting shot in the head for violating rule 2. You can't stop a game while playing the game. If that was the case people would have been calling for a vote before or during every game. Rule 3 only applied to between games. Rule 2 says a player can't refuse to take part in the game so qui Jon quit he should have been killed. Then sang woo helps his mom , the girl he killed brother, and Ali's family.

Squid game is a teamplay game, one can hardcarry the team if they get to the head of the squid first and the other team can't defend in return. (check the first episode when Gi-Hoon was explaining the game).

[@em5522]

Glad MatPat pointed out that these games did, structurally, have the potential to have multiple winners (or even no winners). I remember the scene where the detective searched the archives that only showed 1 winner for the first few years but that doesn't automatically mean that the other years didn't have more winners. It seemed more likely that the ones in charge did their best to push for only a single player to win, but what's to really say that some yrs didn't have at least a couple of winners? While it's probably unlikely there were multiple winners in a single year, it's still possible.

[@andromeda156]

I think that the games can't afford multiple players winning. If multiple players would have won, they could have stayed in touch, talk, maybe take action. It's important for the games, that there's only one lonely, broken survivor.

[@Paul20661]

Hi guys ❤️

[@turkeypopcorn]

As much as I love Mat and the theories he presents, I have an issue with this one cause it's about going in blind and then presents theories for games as if they knew the game in advance. The glass bridge is second to last and there's no way of guessing the game. He also ignores the first game of "red light green light" entirely. Yes the overall 'keep as many alive as possible' thought holds but there was no active way to know. Also the walls were kinda useless at least until they were revealed more ( unless you just are incredibly visual and notice it through all the beds. Cause no reactors, I've seen, noticed it until it was too late.

[@corporealghoul]

I thought a lot of this made no sense. He mentions sangwoo being willing to sacrifice his teammates only for them to all come to his aid the night of the riot. wtf Sangwoo didn't sacrifice anyone at that point. It was like day 3. Nor would his teammates have any reason at this point to not come to his aid that night. I feel like some of these are meta points. Like the narrator is only able to make these claims because they have meta knowledge that the actors dont have.

Turning off the light for the glass maker guy can't tell the difference is exactly how "everyone have a fair chance" should go, they're not trying to break their rules. Because in the game everyone has to blindly guess which glass is safe to stand on, it's 50-50, if you have the ability to tell the difference then your chance will be 100-0, it's not fair for other players who didn't work at making glass. It's a fair and common situation even in real life, if you're playing a game and you know how to break it, then you're not allow to play. If you're Superman and can can see through body with X-ray vision then you're not allow to play "Guess what number I'm holding behind my back", because you're no longer a valid candidate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ASageCalledQ]

Except they clearly did it because it wasn't fun watching them succeed without fatalities. They chose someone with that background to participate and chose the games. Not old guy's fault. Men only teams were not penalized in Tug - of - War despite having a clear advantage over other teams. Dangling the illusion of fairness over the participants is one of the points of the show.

[@BrianHSC]

What that video is missing is that they designed the games so there would be only one winner. Because the people betting on them wants only one winner. For example, they gave them knives before the final game for a reason. To narrow it down to two. Doesn't matter what the contestants do trying to help each other.

[@andromeda156]

YES :) to all points.

I'm a higher power then all of you, I don't need subs or dubs to watch anything, I can already tell what's going on before it's happening

[@adeviantproduction]

Wubba lubba dub dub when people don't use subs.

[@galaxray8700]

Well,for me .....I won't even attempt to play squid game even in my dreams😬

[@alyssatheexcellent]

SUBS OVER DUBS EVERY DAY. If I rewatch it I might do it in dubs just to get a different experience… but hearing the actors actually communicating in person vocally with each other is so SO important. The only thing I watch dubbed is Howls Moving Castle because- Christian Bale and Billy Crystal…. Cmon.

[@tjmthegreat4009]

Yeah my only negative about the games is when the glass blew up literally killing one of the characters even though she had won the game. The writers clearly wanted what happened next and short cut their way into that one lol.

[@amirfroggie8370]

They did hide behind others in red light green light, the girl the mc was trying to avenge literally did that...

[@OptimusProvost]

I’m gonna rewatch the series in subs and see how much I missed

[@clarissa182]

In regards to the glass game, why didn't they just take their shoes and throw them on the glass panels?

[@fangurl1914]

Squid game memes next pls🙏 i hope you react to Deliver us from evil (Gihun/Lee Jungjae film)

[@gucare]

The marble challenge, werent they able to just make a game that result in they both got each others marbles and both surivive?

[@alexanderwiles2003]

personally as someone who saw both i think sub purist's need to chill and leave people alone

[@brianburkhardt3692]

If the guy who knew the difference between glass plates had come forward sooner, the Front Man would have just turned out the lights sooner. It’s definitely true that the players didn’t know that at the time, but it wouldn’t have helped them if he had gone forward earlier.

[@xydoit2024]

He was 13. How he could help?

[@brianburkhardt3692]

@@xydoit2024 I guess he could relay the information up to the front. But it did seem like something he had learned through his career that couldn’t just be explained to people in a long game of telephone and have it actually work out. I think that’s the weakest part of this theory.

2:02 is that the lead actor from Train to Busan???

[@yeolwo]

yup it's gong yoo. one of s.korea's top actors

[@BigHeroChris]

I watched the dub and I regret nothing

[@luissantos7343]

Watch Vice Principals, please.

[@SeyaDiakite7]

There will always be people getting the wrong way and only watching the show because it's most famous thing in the world right now and not for understanding. Also I see you guys made it up after that erik voss picture. I'm glad John is happy XD.

[@poeethics9331]

I have the same debate all the time...you gotta watch with the original language with subs..lol.

[@xydoit2024]

Matt is right. If you have more gamers you have more likely to win.

[@TheBambinoitaliano]

How did Gi-hun still have a marble left when all the winners of game 4 have to surrender all 20 marbles to the PlayStation guards?

[@Crashj7f67h]

I watched it in English. Was the first thing I saw when I opened Netflix, don't watch many shows in different languages anyways. Didn't care either way. Still liked the show, and unlike the VIP, I'm not a hard guy to please.

[@billjohnmiraflores9172]

HI GUYS! I hope you see this: You guys should ABSOLUTELY watch Film Theory: Venom VS Carnage IRL

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, interesting.

[@ABAO2009]

In the glass game, it wouldn't be against the rules if one player held the other while the first one laid down and broke each glass at a time with their arms to see wich ended up not breaking and then walking on those unbreakable ones :)

[@jennv2948]

How would you lay down and break glass?

[@ABAO2009]

@@jennv2948 Like I said, someone needs to hold your legs so you dont fall. The weak glass is easily breakable, its the one used in movies

[@Magneticitist]

The game definitely treated the people as equals and some people are confusing that equal treatment with experience or natural physical advantage. If someone is bigger and stronger so they have an advantage in a physical game, it wasn't the game which designed it this way unless all the games were strictly physical. Inequality would have per the games rules intentionally helped certain players more than others. For example saying old people get more time. Or women get knives instead of spoons. Even though at some point the men could agree that MALES were their best bet at forming a winning team at nearly anything they could imagine, the game itself did not influence this. It was their own decisions to create an inequality among themselves. Everyone was treated as equals by the game operators.

[@sylvestergooden5312]

I believe the glass game was HOP SCOTCH

[@assholable]

All logical arguments seem smart, but they don't take psychology under pressure into account

[@hariom-xz9cn]

Pls watch the witcher next 🙏🙏

[@thomasgriffiths6758]

Someone who goes through this length to hyper-analyze a movie is someone I would never want to watch a movie with.

[@xydoit2024]

What if the guy that can recognized tempered glass was 16?

[@valiantham6072]

As someone who watches anime in dub, I found squid game almost impossible to watch in dub. The voices didn’t fit the character and also the lips weren’t synced at all.

[@assholable]

Have Americans not played Hopscotch??? The glass game was designed on that!! And yes it was fair...that every player has an equal chance, The glass guy has an unfair advantage. Plus they were also not so worried about fair at the moment...that was just the Front Man's ideology...and he knows that he needs to sacrifice that ideology once the VIPs are there...as at the end of the day..they are the consumers.
