Eugene Choi died in 1907. He wakes in a body that is not his own, with the face that is... well, his own — but at the same time, the reflection staring back at him is entirely that of a stranger.

There's a man. He says his name is Seong Gi-hun, and he keeps calling Eugene In-ho.

Eugene has no idea who In-ho is. Or what this strange world is.

FIC UP NOW! READ HERE

I remain a man standing

Pray, that I get over it

Pray that I feel better

Don't throw the fault at me

Don't close the door on me

You've got almost the ENTIRE audience and ACTUAL CRITICS saying how the WHOLE season was ass, the ACTUAL ACTORS being very confused/disappointed about it and how they asked the director to change the ending and even the DIRECTOR HIMSELF being skeptical btw.

like. this shouldn’t even have to be said but hating a fictional character is nowhere near a current genocide happening in real life and these two things should never even be in the same conversation.

“but that fictional character is a baby!! how can you hate her?!” it’s still just a fictional character, not even a real child actor but a literal cgi.

comparing people hating a fictional, cgi character to real genocide is. weird.

like I get it if you’re uncomfortable about people hating that squid game baby, but the thing about fictional characters is that anyone is allowed to hate any character they want. it’s fiction meant for entertainment. it’s a TV show.

“It’s not pro-life if the baby was born in the end” mind you, didn’t they show Junhee at an abortion clinic in s2 before they made her change her mind? Didn’t they make Gihun tell Junhee how precious the baby was and how she (the baby) must be protected at all costs? Didn’t Junhee’s plot armor run out and she died almost as soon as that thang was out of her womb? Didn’t they kill off several beloved characters just so a 1 day old baby could survive since her life was more important than anybody else’s and the entire plot had to shift to make sure she lived? Didn’t the show already have a history of “being against abortion even if it meant a mother died with that thang” (Inho’s wife)? Didn’t the director say the baby was a “new hope”?

That’s poorly disguised pro-life stance they’re trying to subtly feed audiences lmao. Get it tf out of here

“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”)
