We Watched *SQUID GAME* Episode 2 For The First Time...We're Going To Hell

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

I can’t imagine working 6 whole months without pay. I’m surprised that business Ali worked at still had employees.

[@shootingstar8712]

Well, in Ali’s case his boss was taking advantage of the fact that he was an immigrant in desperate need to provide for his family

[@mixi5881]

In some parts of the world the hope of pay is better than no pay at all.

[@mehrone]

Most of them are undocumented immigrants. What can they do? Report their employer to the police and risk their own deportation?

[@wiseathena97]

@@mixi5881 Exactly. It's insane to think about but his story wasn't exactly unique, immigrants get taken advantage of all over the world due to a promise of better pay.

[@bitchasshoe8719]

@@mixi5881 from saudia arabia here, we had a crisis a few years ago here where a lot of people went about a year (more or less) without pay. Around like 2020-2021 The issues shown here in squid game are unfortunately real, not in just S.Korea even if it's awfully prevalent there.

[@StacheKing]

That remark about them dropping the remaining players off in pairs with one voting for staying and the other voting against. Having seen countless reactions to the first season, and having seen the show several times before, I can honestly say that I never caught that attention to detail. Good eye my dudes.

[@jenny_lee_87]

😮 Me neither 😂🤦🏾‍♀️💜

[@jager3090]

Factor in how they make them wear patches in the new season and it's an even crazier detail. They're always trying to pit the players against each other to see how they react

[@horroranimestation25]

I caught that actually 😊😊

[@FirstLast-yh7gj]

Thought everyone noticed

[@lucienoon7262]

i know, these guys are sorta sharp

[@Whirlwhind1]

I think this episode really helps to ground the insanity of the games. Any rational person would think: "Who in their right mind would risk their lives to play these games?" Episode 2 answers that question by showing us people whose lives are so deep in the shitter that they have nothing left to lose.

[@StacheKing]

And everything to gain.

[@viniciushenrique6672]

Exactly. Like a famous saying goes: "When you hit the bottom, there's no other way other than up" So they either dying or not, doesn't matter. If they live, their lifes get better. And If not, the suffering finally ends.

[@MrJamaigar]

​@@Whirlwhind1 He lessing for Gi-Hun is that it doesn't matter how rough you may have it, there can always be people who have it worse out there; hundreds of them in the show's case.

Imagine how bad your financial situation is that you decide to go back to those life and death games, especially in Ali’s case after he stole that much money from his boss.

[@utkarshsharma2433]

And that's why I have zero sympathy for the peoples in season 1, because they came again even after knowing consequences. Now taking benefit of their situation also doesn't come play.

[@baibai9563]

​@utkarshsharma2433 i think it's kinda crazy to not have sympathy for them lol, i get they technically had a choice but the whole point in the ppl tht make the games is that everyone eventually feels they have no choice. That's how their debt/life makes them feel

[@utkarshsharma2433]

@@baibai9563 it's like Shawn said, most of them are in a position that it doesn't matter if they live or die. Also methods of loan recovery also plays it's part in pushing them in games. Gi hun, that goon and Ali are in this position, that girl and sang woo still has brother and mother to be taken care and loan sharks will harass them, so they should've think of them but if you're alone it's best solution for you.

[@tilltronje1623]

​@@utkarshsharma2433it is insane how incredibly apathetic you are. The fact that you blame people who literally have no other choice than to play, and to blame poor people in a show that is solely about showing the way the rich exploit the poor, is beyond messed up and speaks volumes about you as a person. I pity anyone who ever meets you

[@BlaiZeBeEp]

​​@@utkarshsharma2433 the brother and the mother are going to be in danger no matter what they do. If they live life normally their loved ones will be in danger, if they die their loved ones will be in danger, but if they win the game, their loved ones wont wont be in danger anymore. They arent putting them in any more danger than they were in before by joining the game

[@markosmatrozos4175]

The decision to end the games but giving them the chance to come back, is an interesting experiment about human nature. Even though they've seen how bad and dangerous it is, and they've seen people die in front of them, they still choose to come back and risk their lives, even the ones who voted to leave

[@Dynamo_luke]

He said it! He said "some sorta stupid amount"

[@mxrdersimulator]

"so that's it? what, we're some kinda sorta stupid?"

[@celestinebuendia]

I still can’t overstate how much this is the most important episode of the series. It’s what makes the show not “people get put through a death game” but “the world we live in is death, and this is just part of it.”

[@Safiyahalishah]

I loved this episode. The second Sang-woo brought up the termination vote, I knew they were going to go home and then come back. It was so well done.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Love the moth to the flame choice as the money dropped in and how it resembled a casino. Dude in the bathtub was burning a piece of coal and was going to off himself via toxic fumes. That's why he blocked air coming in from under the door as well. This is one of my favorite episodes of the whole season because of what it did. People will probably tell you about it in the comments after you get done with the final episode of this season.

[@samuelvincent557]

Even more twisted, by ending the game and sending everyone home, those that came back are doing so knowing what is at stake and they are there, fully, of their own free will. So no reluctent players feeling like they were trapped and tricked.

[@SadieMccollough-mf3jl]

I am always flummoxed at the reactions to Gi-Hyeun's (sp?) visit to his ex-wife and daughter's home. So much sympathy. But this is a man who has extremely violent loan sharks after him, and who has participated in a deadly game orchestrated by people who have detailed information about his personal life. What the heck is he doing anywhere near his little girl? If your life is that messed up and dangerous, stay away.

Just coming here to comment some annoyance that I have, I just bought the bronze membership because I wanted to watch the newer Rick and Morty vids y'all have and was tired of waiting and right after paying I click the binged season 7 vid just to essentially learn that i needed to pay more if I wanted that, which is upsetting and I'm not even certain I can get a refund now so I'm just coming here to vent, I really wasn't expecting that you'd have higher paywalls than the first to view the paywalled content which is what led me to stupidly waste my money.

I my issue with this show is the police. over 200 people died in the games. Which means they just disappeared and the only thing that links them is that they were all massively in debt. wouldn't their families report them missing? wouldn't the police realise this?

[@xqwart9331]

Wouldn't it be cool to live in world where police care about bunch of randoms?..

[@de606returns6]

I actually thought about this extensively, and while to this extent it may seem ridiculous (though I don't know much of Korean Law Enforcement tbf) even if they were to look into the mass disappearences, they most likely wouldn't have anything to go on anyhow, unless they found all their Squid Game cards like Jin-Ho (hope I spelled his name right), which isn't very likely, they would most likely eventually consider it an unsolved case with no answer, plus the nature of the truth is so ridiculous most wouldn't even care to entertain the idea unless they had personal involvement or significant evidence Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's super realistic, this is just my thought process in the show's reality as we have to remember this is a show

[@troyii435]

That’s my point too. Really it’s unfortunate that more people from the games didn’t go to the police because at least then there would be more convincing evidence or justification to look into it. I also get that most of these people don’t have much if any meaningful relationships so people might not know they’re missing but it still seems a bit absurd to have a 455 missing people’s case arise all at the exact same time and no one puts it togrther

[@de606returns6]

@@troyii435 it's one thing I'm glad they sort of addressed in the later season, though with a group of Loan Sharks and not police I suppose However, I imagine that though there were a few that did go to the police and were less hysterical than Gi-Hun was, most probably either wanted to forget the experience (in some cases before eventually coming back) or just assumed no one would believe them anyway, not that it really acts as a valid argument though
