To borrow an aphorism made well-known by a former U.S. president: “idiot me as soon as: disgrace on you; idiot me twice: disgrace on me.” It was exhausting not to consider that adage when a second season of Squid Sport was introduced with lead character Seong Gi-hun a.okay.a. Participant #456 (Lee Jung-jae) returning as a contestant in one other spherical of life-or-death video games.
Certain, the Squid Sport season 1 finale makes clear that Gi-hun has revenge on his thoughts. However is taking part in together with the exploitative contests of the wealthy and rich the easiest way to get again at them? Fortunately, Netflix has lastly launched the prolonged “principal” trailer for Squid Sport season 2 and it supplies us with a greater thought of what the once-and-future Participant 456 is getting out enduring this ordeal for a second time. Give the complete trailer a watch under.
It might seem that Gi-hun, bless him, has a plan right here. After a tense dialog together with his enemy the Entrance Man (Lee Byung-hun) through an lovable golden piglet intercom system (certainly that will probably be coming to a Sizzling Subject close to you quickly), Gi-hun agrees to be put again within the sport as Participant 456 as soon as once more. There seems to be no quid professional quo right here – no deal that if Gi-hun wins, the Squid Sport is completed eternally or something. However certainly even the Entrance Man understands that Gi-hun’s participation isn’t merely a simple rematch.
That affirmation comes a little bit afterward when an unnamed fellow competitor asks 456 why he got here again. Gi-hun merely responds “I’m making an attempt to place an finish to this sport. How will he go about doing so? If the action-packed imagery of the trailer is something to go off of, he’s merely going to kill each masked man he can discover on the Squid Sport campus. “Those that created this sport…We should always combat them,” he says.
