I liked how you brought up the ending. My heart sank for a second when I saw those helicopters choppin away. But I suppose that's the neat ending in reality, not what we desire.
A thoughtful and thorough analysis. I think your conclusions are accurate and your answer to the question must be the right one. I didn't really expect a happy ending, the conflict at the heart of the human soul being what it is, but even so they managed to sidestep so many pitfalls crafting this show it's nothing short of a masterpiece. Even his experience with the games was a conflict in itself. An advantage and a disadvantage. I'm glad for this ending. It's not easily digested. Nor should it be.
Beautiful. I wish Squid Game 3 lived up your essay even a little bit.
Thank you so much Carol. Such high praise!

I agree! It's not what we all secretly hoped for, but really, we knew there would be no other way.
