Front Man Gi-hun would have been a better, more satisfying ending than the shit show we got and I’m done pretending otherwise.
“But Gi-hun won in the end because he didn’t let the game change him and his sacrifice was the message the show gave—” Gi-hun was already suicidal and he tried killing himself before. His plot armor just ran out because the director decided a random cgi baby’s life was worth more than the healing Gi-hun could have had and no, you cannot change my mind. Also yes, the baby was born but there’s a poorly hidden pro life propaganda in the show when they made Jun-hee change her mind at the last minute at the clinic before she could abort that thang. (I believe that was an abortion clinic we saw Jun-hee at in season 2, but I apologize if I’m wrong.)
If you’re a woman in Squid Game, all you’re good for is being a mother and dying for your infant or unborn baby because their life is worth more than yours and everyone else’s, Jun-hee and In-ho’s wife are examples of that.
And no, this has nothing to do with 457 or any ship. This is just a terrible writing decision and a poorly disguised attempt to convey audience how precious babies’ lives are (“please don’t get an abortion 🥺 abortion is bad, these babies are precious and you should be okay with sacrificing your life for them”)
Fuck off. Abort that thang.
