Squid Game II 5.5/10

Netflix should just released everything at once, I don't see wtf dem making it longer.

1) This season, there is no emotional attachment or a bond to any cast and the games is not as hard as S1, too easy, predictable and no fun.

2) As a old player, you should be smart cus you knew cameras are everywhere and your openly giving out information about the game and you think them won't change it?

3) One of the reason why we love S1 is that each game has something meaningful or something you can learn from about human when it's comes between life and death like Betrayal, Dishonesty, Disloyalty and lies just to make it to another round is missing in this season

4) you will likely know who will live and who will die

5) WTF is that gay/trans doing there? Like seriously the reason why he's there in the game is nonsense and na only Netflix Kdrama dem for dy see all gay people

That trans guy is one of the my favourite characters

He is not a weak person who wants people to feel sorry for him and he never made his whole personality about his trans thing.

He talked about his transition for like 5 minutes and never mentioned it again.

He is brave, strong, smart and did his best to protect his friends.

You know the one character that ended up disappointing me. The young man that claimed he was a marine.

They asked this guy to go get more ammo and he let everyone down.

I thought Marines were military guys.

How is a trans person showing more courage than an ex-marine?

The guy fall my hand no be small.

I wish he'd died.

I know his producer roles in those TV shows but I also have a very good example in the same DC in the shape of James Gunn who's written, directed and produced shows and movies in the same time frame as Matt Reeves. And that's for someone who's also a CEO and head of running a studio as well working on the overall general story and feel of a new universe. Yet Gunn has delivered.

In the same space, Gunn wrote & directed SUPERMAN and CREATURE COMMANDOS. Is a producer and writer of PEACEMAKER S2. Is also producer on WALLER show. So I'll say that's way more work combined than what Reeves has done with his time in two years. Same time frame Gunn has written 3 different projects!!

And Gunn already said few days ago that he's already doing a pre-writing work for a new DC project.

This is why it's wrong to put out a release date for a movie when the script is not complete.

abduleez1:
I don't even understand what's taking up Reeves time in delivering a script all this while.

The Batman premiered 8 Months before James Gunn was hired as DC Studios Co-CEO; and by the time The Batman II releases in 2027, the new DCU would have released at least 7 DCU PROJECTS.
That's too slow a process from Matt Reeves.

Matt Reeves is a very slow writer.

It took him 5 years to deliver the first movie.

No surprise The Batman part 2 is going to take another 5 years.

Also don't forget that during the time he's supposed to be working on the sequel, he worked on The Penguin and Caped Crusader and is a producer on DCU Clayface movie.

Squid Game season 2 was going so well until the last episodes.

You know that thing they do in horror movies where characters are being stupid to push the plot forward.

They ruined Squid Game season 2 with the last two episodes. The main character who was being smart and cautious most of the time suddenly became a complete idiot.

I don't know what the writers were thinking when they wrote that horrendous last episodes.

Episode 7 will leave you scratching your head.

Nothing about his plan makes sense at all.

What the hell was he thinking?

I will come back with SPOILERS later. It seems like most people on this thread haven't watched it yet.

Squid Game season 2 is an unnecessary sequel. But it was well written and I was enjoying it until they messed it up at the end.

What a shame.

I have so many questions

Squid Game season 2 is out today

Kaycee7:
You guys are talking about the men but thinking about who plays what on the women's side just made me realize how unimpressed I am by Zendaya.
I can't even figure a principal role I think she could pull off while I can't think of almost any character Anne Hathaway or Lupita couldn't do justice to.
Make them sha no give her Athena or Penelope. E go too pain me if she come give that her signature wooden performance

My prediction for The Odyssey cast:

Matt Damon - Odysseus
Tom Holland - Telemachus
Anne Hathaway - Penelope
Charlize Theron - Circe
Robert Pattinson - Antinous
Lupita Nyong’o- Athena
Zendaya - Calypso

Ishilove:
That's like Idris Elba being rumoured to play 'Okonkwo' in Hollywood's adaptation of 'Things Fall Apart'

But at the end of the day, it all boils down to the bankability of the actors. I wonder who will play the role of Odysseus. Definitely not Tom Holland. Too young for that character. Zendaya will likely be the wife

Robert Pattinson or Matt Damon

I don't see how Tom Holland can be the leading man in a movie with other two older, experienced actors.

abduleez1:
Chris Nolan is breaking the internet with this!!

I've been waiting for ages for Hollywood to get back to Greek Mythos for long and Nolan just gave us a new push into the next decade. ✌🏽

We've been flooded by Norse mythology this past decade till now in TV and film. Roman Empire is back on the menu with Gladiator II, but my itch has been basically Greek which has seemingly been forgotten before now.

So grateful and joyful for Nolan spearheading this fresh push. Agba for life.

Who's playing Odysseus?

Is it Tom Holland, Matt Damon or Robert Pattinson?

NobleStag007:
Looking at character the same way is insane. It's boring..

People have absolutely no idea what Superman is capable of if he's evil. I wish WB allowed Snyder to show us that.

Ans although flash will later reverse it all.. I really wish the memory of what Clark has done sticks in all of em mind.. both villians and protagonists.

Not being able to fear Superman brings him lots of disrespectfulness because he's good. Damn!

It sucks we can't see dark Superman

@the emboldened

If you watch The Boys and Invincible you would know what Superman would be like if he became evil.

You don't need WB to show it to you.

NobleStag007:
You should write and direct your own Superman movie. No wonder you people are so pissed lol

My unpopular opinion is that Henry Cavill Superman got a nice conclusion.

From his origin and his death, to his resurrection and teaming up with JL. That's a well rounded arc in my opinion.

Zack Snyder's next plan for Superman was to make him a brainwashed Darkseid henchman.

Given that and the ending he got in Josstice League. I'll take the JL ending anytime anyday.

I know Snyderbros want Superman to be an evil godlike figure like Omniman. Me I just want the traditional Superman we enjoyed before Snyder's time.

Henry Cavill himself said he preferred Joss Whedon's take on Superman.

The traditional and very classic Superman full of hope and optimism.

BankyGee:
These stats are for the first 24 hours, right?

Yes

kendrick9:
Can these views translate to boxoffice success that's the Koko at the end of the day.
Having a high YouTube views doesn't mean it will...

The views confirms that the interest is there...

It's not enough for box office success because there's still work to be done. The marketing for this movie has to be very good and the movie has to be well recieved by movie goers and critics.

But having a successful trailer debut does give them an early advantage. It's up to studio to build on that hype and deliver a great movie.

🙃

This suit is feels like something out of a comic book.

This is what Superman would wear if he wanted people to see him as a regular superhero. A normal homemade suit that even a human being with powers would wear.

Henry Cavill suit is what an alien would wear. A suit made for Kryptonians not regular superheroes. Remove the cape and he would basically look no different than Zod.

R rated Creature Commandos is no 1 on Max ahead of Dune Prophecy

How good is this show?

Is it as good as the Dune movies?

This trailer is blowing up

10m views in six hours is insane

For comparison sake, Captain America 4 teaser from 5 months ago has 21m views and Thunderbolts teaser has 17m views

People actually care for Superman.

He's still relevant.

pu7pl3:
I'm more concerned with why he was bleeding
Why was he bleeding 😟😩

I was concerned too

Like what kind of villains does bro fight on a daily basis to be bleeding like that?

It just occurred to me that Henry Cavill Superman did not bleed at all in Man Of Steel.
Bro was getting tossed around by Kryptonians and I don't remember seeing a drop of blood.

Someone said this trailer humanized Superman, I see it too tbh.

July 11.....

I will be there insha'Allah.

Colour grading looks way better here

I just watched it in high resolution. It looks very beautiful.

I prefer not to speak

abduleez1:
So in other words... SUPERMAN might be in trouble with that July lineup??

Superman and Jurassic World 4 are two very different movies

Unless Marvel moves F4, if not Superman is cooked

Jurassic World 4

Guaranteed billon dollar grosser

People love these dinosaur movies for some reason

oyaskii:
Hmmmmm....not a dig or anything but is it just me or does the color correction and general feel of this teaser look CW ishhh? 😩😬

Same colour grading Gunn used in The Suicide Squad

The outdoor shots looks a bit weird.

The colour grading in TSS is basically an improved version of this, and if that is what Gunn is trying to replicate then there's no need to worry.

TSS is Gunn's best looking film imo.

Already trending

That teaser trailer on Thursday will turn doubters to believers

Can you hear the music?

https://youtube.com/shorts/v2jPNsE3kmc?si=Kcslrmvth5pCkgTC

Crazy how Captain America's love interest from WW1 has more appearances in MCU than Shang Chi, She Hulk, Kate Bishop, Ms Marvel and all the new characters they introduced after phase 3.

I'm excited

Lanterns will also release in 2026
