The characters that were to survive longer

Summary

• The unexpected deaths of beloved characters in Squid are impressive, but sometimes premature.

• Many well -written players died too early and missed the potential stories and development of the characters.

• Some characters, such as Thanos and Ali Abdul, could add a greater depth if they survived longer.

Squid Game For many reasons, it is considered one of the best live action series, one of which was the innate unpredictability. Hwang Dong-Hyuk's critically renowned dystopic thriller does a great job to make the viewer feel that every character is dangerous and that he can die at any point of the story.

This narrative device is a double edge sword. Although it has led to many unforgettable scenes of death, it also led to the sudden death of many beloved and/or well -written characters that was to last longer. For some, this is because they were sufficiently qualified to survive for more episodes. For others, it was because they had an interesting story to tell or simply because they had fun personalities. There are a fair number of players in Squid Game That died too early.

Kang mi-na

Had a fun personality but was destroyed by a single bee

• Player: 196
• Died in: “001” (Season 2, Episode 3)

Season 2 introduced a lot of interesting new characters to participate in the release of games 2024, one of the biggest standouts of being Kang mi-na. This young girl was arrogant, superficial and fascinating dynamics with Thanos and refused to flirt during the first game.

It seemed that Kang Mi-na would be one of the biggest characters of the second season, but she was the first player to die after the little bee got on her neck during red light, green light. This was, of course, done to return home as unpredictable Squid Game It is, but it would be fun to see her last longer.

S-mi

A strong girl that was betrayed by her boyfriend (twice)

• Player: 380
• Died in: “Friend or enemy” (Season 2, Episode 7)

MIN-SU Park is a shy player that is bullied by Thanos and Nam-Gyu for most of the season 2. Fortunately for him, an intelligent and courageous young woman appointed S-mi He stands for him, protects him from bullying, and even becomes his new friend. Despite her cute new dynamics, the min-su betrays her during mixing and sour.

Unfortunately, the ecstatic nam-Gyu later attacked the session during the battle on the dormitory, which led to her sudden and violent death. To make it worse, the min-su watched everything, but did not interfere. That's all real shame because she was quite a nice and skilled figure. She did not deserve to die so soon, let alone be betrayed by a person he prevented on several occasions.

Han mi-nyeo

She preferred her revenge over her own survival

• Player: 212
• Died in: “VIP” (Season 1, Episode 7)

This cannot be denied Han mi-nyeo She was one of the most memorable and fascinating characters from the season 1, mainly because of her abrasive personality and manipulative tendencies. Not to mention that she had many close calls where it looked as if she had died, just to be saved at the last minute.

But everything changed when she was betrayed by Yang Deok-su, her teammate and the man with whom she had a physical relationship. Since then, Mi-Nyeo has stood up to revenge, which eventually threw the ground along the Deok-su. As she satisfied this moment, Mi-Nyeo was a solid player who could use his strategic mind for something more productive than revenge, so he could survive much longer.

Jung-Bae Park

I didn't get to the second half of the 2024 games

• Player: 212
• Died in: “Friend or enemy” (Season 2, Episode 7)

Jung-Bae Park He was one of the biggest surprises of the season 2. Friends of Childhood Seong Gi-Hun (which was introduced at the beginning of the season 1), not only revealed that he was part of the Korean naval choir, but also played surprisingly well in games and even played a huge role in his friend's donut.

With his personality, skills and leadership, Jung-Bae had everything that was very far away in the games, or managed to overthrow the front man. But he made one big mistake: he didn't tell Gi-Hun that the Young-il had killed someone in the cold blood right during the miscalcation. Young-il was actually a frontal man in disguise that stopped their rebellion and murdered Jung-Bae to punish Gi-Hun. For this reason, it is sad to think that Jung-Bae will not participate in the second half of 2024 games that will take place in the upcoming season 3.

Ali Abdul

A good and skilled man who betrayed his new “friend”

• Player: 199
• Died in: “Gganbu” (Season 1, Episode 6)

Because of his kind personality and tragic but relative story, Ali Abdul During the season 1 he became a favorite fan, which made his eventual and inevitable death even more heartbreaking. During the balls with the balls, Ali connected with Cho Sang-Woo just to find out he had to play against each other.

This is a moment that has proven that Ali's friendly personality and blind trust were in fact his two greatest weaknesses. Sang-Woo took advantage of them and betrayed him by replacing the balls in the pebble bag. The death of Ali Abdula remains one of the most frustrating moments Squid Game to this day. During the game he played quite well, just to destroy the sudden (and cowardly) betrayal of Sang-Woo.

2

Kang UAE-BYEOK

Survived for a long time but died for a very stupid reason

• Player: 067
• Died in: “Front Man” (Season 1, Episode 8)

Kang UAE-BYEOK It was definitely the material of the “main character”, thanks to her stoic personality, interesting development and noble motivations (because he wants to bring his family back from North Korea). While the protagonist Squid Game It is obviously seong gi-hun, many spectators believed that Sae-Byeok was to win the release of 2020 games, which is a sentiment that further supported the tragic and heroic sacrifice of Ji-Yeong.

But then she was seriously injured by a sudden explosion of glass panels after surviving glass reflective stones, which still remains one of the most bizarre options in all Squid Game. Because of this injury, Sang-Woo managed to kill the same night. It would be interesting to see how the Sae-Byeok participates in the final game, and maybe even win, but it was obvious that the writers had to find an apology to kill it, and let the Sang-Woo and Gi-Hun face themselves in Squid.

Choi Su-Bong (Thanos)

The best character in season 2 does not even appear in season 3

• Player: 230
• Died in: “Friend or enemy” (Season 2, Episode 7)

When a professional rapper known as Thanos (Real name: Choi Su-Bong) He was first introduced at the beginning of the season 2, seemed to be a boring re-evaluation of Yang Deok-su. However, to the surprise of the audience, he became one of the best characters of the new season. He was an unpredictable villain with an entertaining personality, not to mention that his actor Choi Seung-Hyun, presented the award-winning performance.

Given his drug addiction, indignation towards MG Coin and complicated relationships with other players, it seemed that he set up the program as the main antagonist of the season, next to the leading man. In the final of the season, however, was incredibly stabbed to the death of Lee Myung-gi. Although it was a satisfactory development for this character, it also left the audience stunned. Thanos was a fun character, so it is unfortunate that he will not be in season 3. Although Nam-Gyu will seem to take place, Thanos will miss.
