What Happens By The End Of Squid Game 3?

It all comes down to the baby. Yes, the baby. If you have watched season 2, then you would know that Player 222 (Jun Hee) was playing the games while being pregnant. In this season, she will deliver her unborn child. But this dramatic scene will end with Player 120’s (Hyun Ju) death. This is one of the first leading characters’ demises that will leave you teary-eyed. But it doesn’t end here. This scene also involves Player 149 (Geum-Ja) killing her own son in order to protect Player 222 and her child.

While the hopes of Jun Hee to survive this game with her baby started to decrease with the second game, jump rope. As she was unable to go forward with her injured ankle, Player 456 (Gi Hun) took her child forward and jumped on. But in this scene, Player 222 sacrifices herself to keep her baby safe. There have been many attempts to get rid of the baby, but somehow the child has been saved by the other members.

In the showdown, Player 333, the father of the child, threatens Gi Hun by trying to sacrifice his own child. However, this does not happen, and the showdown remains between Gi Hun and the baby. He jumps off the cliff, sacrifices himself, and saves the child. Now, this ending didn’t sit right with the fans.

How Netizens Have Been Reacting To The Ending?

Many viewers voiced their issues with the ending, suggesting that so many characters’ deaths were unnecessary just to save the baby’s life. While others pointed out how it to ‘misogynistic’. One of the viewers wrote on X (previously known as Twitter), “What a STUPID f*cking ending. Is Squid Game pro-life? Why is this INFANT treated as more important than these adults? Why is it even allowed to compete? They lost the plot. Worst possible ending imaginable.”

Another one wrote, “How much did that government pay these writers to push that pro life agenda to the extent that the damn baby wins the whole game???”

One of the viewers commented, “It was so bad on so many levels how did they ever release this.”

The viewers believe the story could have a better ending. Have you watched Squid Game 3 yet on Netflix? What do you think?
