Even though it’s not talked about, I actually really love that 001 is directly integrated to the main group and that his actions become gradually more violent and cruel as the show goes on to build up the betrayal.

[Somedude-xbiv]

Btw for anyone wondering. the reason the voting is centered in this season is because the director wanted to show players fighting each other when the cause of the fight is the system in the first place. Just like in real life.

I implore you to rewatch the entire series subbed instead of English dub. The delivery is just so much better and the English dub is heavily memed on for not living up to that and sounding super corny at times.

[chrishulse]

How can you complain about people not getting the point of the show and only focusing on the games… then proceed to complain about the players voting AND the games they play

[pinkcriss]

that english dub was really a jumpscare omg

[ceciliaosasuna]

Thanos' rap is funny because he tries to play it cool throwing some random English words here and there and sometimes mixes them with Korean. If you watch the show dubbed in English ofc you'd miss it, since it's your native tongue.

As soon as he joins the show he turns into a baby? Bro he's literally alone and his tooth chip is gone, and on top of that HE'S TRAUMATIZED!!!???? like it only shows basic human emotions, trying to be hero, trying to save people, trying to revenge and also beong traumatized being in the same horrible place again. I think they did so well in the acting department, every actor actually

[alyssachan]

The show is so good that I didn't even notice 7 eps going by. The actual mindset of someone wanting to be a HERO to save everyone but was willing to change to sacrifice a small number of people at the end of ep7. The contrast of the games changing the main character thinking he can save everyone when in fact he ONLY wants to save his inner circle or people in X or people who listen to him.

[JulietteVeronica]

I loved the addition of the constant voting. It's a commentary on gambling in how a lot of addicts have that "just one more" mentality before losing everything, but also in politics how it divides the commoners and has them fighting each other. But that's what the game makers want them to do because it takes the attention off of them and allows them to take advantage of people as long as they have a group of players supporting them.

[SamuelFitsum-hk]

Thanos when half the watchers think he's insufferable and the other half thinks he's the best character ever:
"perfectly balanced, just how all things should be"

[tapioca]

I have never seen someone completely miss the point this hard

[emmii]

The main character being a whimp and not an amazing fighter is kind of the point of his character, he's just a normal guy who got involved in the game, he's not a super op main char he's just a poor guy that earned 46 or sm billion money

[panana]

I was so taken aback when i saw fans complain about S2 😅 I genuinely liked it and wasn't disappointed at all personally

[C_money]

Feels very bizarre to not mention that the Front Man was masquerading as a contestant to try to prove to Gi-Hun his whole idea of "sacrifice the few to save the many" which Gi-Hun later does himself when he lets many of the leave voters die to the stay voters before taking the guns. Front Man's presence as a contestant is a driving force of the plot this season and it is completely omitted from this video...

[MatthiasPeterson]

I guess the point of the season this time flew over this guy's head.

[alonzabrown]

Hey Alex, think you may have overlooked a few things.

1. When the MC returns to the games, it's not to be a badass. His whole plan was to link the secret location with the tracking device. Once he realizes the device is out, he's in the same boat as everyone else. He also did get his defining moment that showed his change from season 1 to season 2 when he was OK sacrificing players in order to set a trap and get the guns.

2. The North Korea detector isn't on the side of the players. She's doing her job but doesn't want people profiting off of suffering. Also, it's likely her that shoots 246 who is the dad of the sick little girl. So her defection probably comes next season as I'm guessing she didn't kill him on purpose.

3. The voting part is awesome. It adds tension and has people choose sides, and you can see how people switch their priorities.

4. Yes there was only 3 games, but I think it's only fair to include double rock, paper, scissors. The idea of playing rock paper scissors and having the choice to die or kill was wild imo.

Thanks for the content.

The main reason this season might feel “incomplete” as one would say is because this season was clearly a “Part 1” situation hence why it ended on such a cliffhanger and Season 3 which is coming this year will be a “Part 2” where we’ll get a lot more closure with like the Pink Guard girl and Player 246 stuff, and the stuff with the detective and his crew, and the end of the games as we were only in the middle of them by the end of the season

[yougotnojams]

Idk, I kinda feel like you misunderstood the entire season. Was it as groundbreaking as s1, no. But it showed us a more behind the scenes story of the guards and how they operate, the frontman proving to player 456 that the players are no different than what the games are trying to prove about society, and mingle was a really great game. It showed how ruthless the players can actually get, and the death of one of the key characters was so impactful with her crying “unnie” as her last word. And the voting added so much more depth and insight to the players. I get that it was also a pretty slow start, but once the season got going, it was so entertaining

[hoshi]

At this point I think this channel should be called - Alex is kinda dumb

[AshleyAlvarez-rque]

Season 1 was about the players vs. the game
Season 2 was about the players vs. each other

It's like the frontman was trying to show Gi-Hun that the games are actually what these people want, not something that's forced on them.
