I love you sonic dash

There are many small details about the series that have such significance, the example I want to focus on is that Gi-Hun didn't know that Sang-Woo was suicidal.

It's interesting to think how different his approach would be if he had known; although he would still be angry at him for his way to achieve things, he wouldn't see him as a money-hungry individual, but rather a desperate one who would do anything to make amends to his mistakes, even taking his own life. Very different from Gi-Hun, who would give up his comfort and ability to fix his own mistakes as long as their loved ones lived.

Certainly, the thought of Sang-Woo committing suicide didn't go thru his head, especially when he DID try to reach his hand. Just like him, he wanted to go home, but for him, for his situation, it wasn't a possibility.

I think that was the point that truly traumatized Gi-Hun. He didn't know anyone there really, their situation nor their values, just his childhood best friend. Someone he grew up with and considered family.

He saw someone he admire become a stranger, someone to fear and hate. But he knew that wasn't him. And when he saw how the boy that used to play with him sacrificed himself to ensure Gi-Hun financial stability, only asking for his mom wellbeing in exchange, that's when it sealed the realization he had about the games; how it preyed for people's desperation, they were just another victim out of the 456 players.

Sorry for this

Now back to the Squid Game.

Interesting that's it a team us vs them.

As narrator Gihun says the rules are simple.

What? They are not simple. They are multifaceted. You have to hop on one foot until you become the inspector royal. Anything goes physically wise as you have to stay in a poorly drawn squid.* That fact they don't have permanent squid lines, also implies they (Gihun and Sangwoo, and Jungbae) grew up in proverty. They use dirt and a stick to draw one out.

And the way you win is by going through the squid head. So you tap a small hole to win with your foot.

We do get some good foreshadowing and Gihun character establishing moments.

Child Gihun to Child Sangwoo "look it's your mom" in a physical altercation. Where Sangwoo is such a mama's boy that he looked away. Sneaky Gihun takes that distraction to become the inspector royale.

Why that phrase though? Maybe a nice play on words related to a battle royale type situation?

Nice, nice establishing the two people most important to Sangwoo.

And establishing Gihun's quick thinking, guile hero street cred.

I love baby Gihun tucking in his shirt. And then just one word "Go". Already a little leader at heart, so bossy.

And the music is really ramping up with the white shirt tear. Gihun, your mom will be angry at you.

Maybe how 🤔 the innocence of childhood games will be teared up, hollowed out, and corrupted for the VIPs sick source of entertainment.

I mean white is symbolically linked to purity, innocence, cleanliness, and new beginnings. Put a white light through a prism, you will get the visible color spectrum.

Baby Gihun is so agile. Where did this grace, go?

Baby Sangwoo it's okay, you did your best.

Interesting word choice of victory. Surely saying yes!! Or something else would suffice.

Maybe Ilnam really want this game to be the it factor. As it has everything he needs for this game to make list.

Or as I call it the let's make childhood games deadly for my wealthy clients, commit various crimes against humanity, and be a general evil person list. Instead of going to therapy or going into any other hobbies not murder related.

Us vs them mentality, all you need is squid drawn courtyard, and you can play it in a group or solo. Most importantly, it being physical means the VIPS have their gladiatorial arena fight for the grand finale.

I am sure, no important foreshadowing is happening here. Right? Right?

And the final end to the intro, the symbols forever tied to the organization is underneath their feet. Ready to pounce on them at their most vulnerable. So, they can be consumed.

So at the end of this series, this memory will be ruined, tarnished, in pieces to Gihun. Great way to start this. 👍

I like a nice title intro of a show that I cannot make out.
