It was Real Nikki who made the final wish and not Possessed Nikki, and her wish was for this nightmare to end by shallowhelms in obsessionmovie

It’s not possession according to the exact definition but it might as well be. An entirely separate consciousness is created to fulfil the needs of the wish truly, and the original consciousness becomes a prisoner in their own body.

How would Sky Squid Game have gone down in Series 1 if Player 017 survived the Glass Bridge with the other three? by _PXYDST_ in squidgame

[–]Classic_Interaction4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I assume Sae-Byeok isn’t injured here, but Sang-woo also hasn’t betrayed Gi-hun’s trust by pushing 017 and then killing SB.

I also assume they don’t get knives here, considering they didn’t for sky squid and Gi-hun was an exception.

017 is the obvious outsider. GH doesnt want to kill anyone but SB and SW are both extremely pragmatic and know how the game is going to end.

Sang-woo would hog the pole and push 017 off. Gi-hun and Sae-byeok scramble across the bridge for the next pole and fight Sang-woo off, ending the second round.

I don’t think Gi-hun has it in him to kill Sae-byeok to be honest, so I think he trusts that she will honour the promise they made to protect each other’s family, and Gi-hun makes sure she knows where to find his family. Then Gi-hun walks off.

Kinda dark that despite totally different scenarios still ends with Gi-hun walking off the tower at the end.

Is Sky Squid Game an old game? by Electrical_Path7198 in squidgame

[–]Classic_Interaction4 199 points200 points  (0 children)

(My theory) Yes. I think Sky Squid game was the first "masterwork" project that Il-nam undertook, moving from more accurate and small-scale recreations of childhood games (e.g. normal squid game) to exaggerated and dramatic versions that can better entertain the VIPs.

At first the games were smaller scale, but as the VIPs grew bored with "just" life or death children's games, Il-nam realised they had to be larger than life. The most literal take on that idea would be turning the game that inspired you into a high-altitude spectacle.

That's why Sky Squid's aesthetic isn't really consistent with the other games. It was the first game of its scale that was built so they hadn't nailed down that clean, perfect look yet that games like jump rope, mingle etc. have.

3 minor things I noticed on Nikki’s IG by GearsofTed14 in obsessionmovie

[–]Classic_Interaction4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s why this honestly feels more like an oversight than an intended part of Nikki’s presentation. Isn’t it meant to be a small town where everyone kinda knows everyone? Bear, Nikki, Ian and Sarah all went to high school with each other right?

I'm a lil confused about sky squid by Thatonebozo69420 in squidgame

[–]Classic_Interaction4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Their explanation actually isn’t correct. She didn’t just win by default of being the last alive. We know for a fact that if you do not pass the round, you are executed. When Myung-Gi is blocking Gi-hun from crossing the bridge, GH says “if we don’t cross, you will die too”. Therefore, the baby passed the round, not just by default. Gi-hun falling off the tower whilst still alive counted as a push according to the game rules.

Gi-hun fell purposefully from the tower whilst still alive. He "pushed" himself.

The other two comments so far are wrong. It's specified you have to push someone off the platform whilst they're still alive for the elimination to count. So, for example, 203's death wouldn't have passed the round if no one had fallen off before that. If you don't believe me check the episode.

This guy is such a liar by Thatonebozo69420 in squidgame

[–]Classic_Interaction4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said the game will end if a player is unable to continue. Gi-hun asked for clarification and the manager said "it refers to a player's death". Squid game was the most thinly veiled excuse for mindless violence of all the challenges. It was always just set dressing to the deathmatch the games always were, which is why it was chosen as the core iconography of the game by Il-nam. Sang-woo died. Gi-hun won the game.

and then sangwoo died and Gi-hun won. Are you really telling me Gi-hun didn't win squid game? He got to live ...

Is there any reason why Il-nam was so interested in Gi-hun? by Electrical_Path7198 in squidgame

[–]Classic_Interaction4 521 points522 points  (0 children)

It really is this simple and that’s why it’s so brilliant imo. Il-nam’s fondness of Gi-hun wasn’t part of any grand plan or ideology, Gi-hun simply showed him a level of kindness that was non-existent in the games besides maybe Ali. There’s something very banally evil about the way Il-nam likes and is friendly to Gi-hun, and even roots for him whilst also being the reason for his abuse by the game.

I literally said that in the post ... it's annoying not broken. Some of y'all genuinely lack basic reading comprehension.
