Squid Game S2 Ep 2

Comments

I figued the plagiarism comment was not factual but just something someone typed

As Lixien mentioned, and apologies if I said anything that was understood as anything other than that, Squid Game was inspired by Kaiji; as far as I know, however, nothing has been said regarding plagiarism, besides the plots themselves are really different, only the main premise stands as a constant (very rich people suck and poor people are cornered to "bet on their lives"). Other than that, besides a couple similar elements here and there, there's no overlap in terms of plot, storytelling or even character development, both are great series that stand on their own two feet 👍🏽

I guess you're talking about Kaiji. I wouldn't call it plagiarism, more like inspiration. It's also about gambling and people with debt participating in death games for money, it also has the same themes (Capitalism/Rich people = bad) so I can see how people would say that Squid Game is plagiarizing Kaiji. But yeah, the director said that this was inspired by manga so he's really not trying to hide it.

Lixien

Yeah. It was cool to see that side vs the player side of the "join up"

The show is cooking. If I'm understanding it correctly (in regards to the scene at the end) she had worked at the park for 2 years and when the card was handed to her, it wasn't as a player but as an employee.
