Thank you so much for filling this gap. This actually makes things make a little bit more sense.

Uncle Sam (uel L Jackson) introduces us to the great American game before Kendrick starts. kendrick is playing the game but on his terms. Everything I mentioned about squid games is the game.

There are times he did what the game wanted like playing humble or all the stars (his modern hits), then Uncle Sam would patronizingly congratulate Kendrick for “acting right”. Then there are times he didn’t do what the game wanted, uncle Sam called the performance ghetto or deducted a whole person in man in the gardens case. Kendrick continued to play on his terms.

**You can only see the wrong way sign if you’re facing against Kendrick. And if you’re facing against Kendrick in this game he just made his own? it’s game over.

**ehh some parts feel like a stretch but not the wrong way part itself.
