Squid Games Season 3 kinda fucking sucked. The games they played were fun (well in the sense that they're gonna be brutal of course) but they really removed all shred of doubt about what was going to happen when

SPOILER: show
the baby was born mid-games. I was hoping maybe a few players would rally to keep the preggers lady alive through the games and we'd see the baby after the games. But nope, water broke and she gave birth and was up walking again within 15 in-show minutes. Even as far as TV births go, that was comical.

And once the baby is born it removes any shred of doubt about what is going to happen. No matter how brutally violent the show is, you know they're not going to let anything happen to a baby. Babies are largely bullet proof in any TV show. Once it's born, it's gonna be protected at all costs. Especially when they represent purity in Korean culture. Sure enough, we then immediately see a mother kill her own son to protect a stranger's baby.

Then once the VIPs (cringeworthy as ever) decided the baby would be a player in the game, you knew Gi-hun was gonna sacrifice himself. The last 2-3 episodes were a foregone conclusion.

0% interested in the US reboot either
