1. > “I’m so tired. In a way, I have to say, I’m so sick of ‘Squid Game.’ I’m so sick of my life making something, promoting something. So I’m not thinking about my next project right now. I’m just thinking about going to some remote island and having my own free time without any phone calls from Netflix. Not the ‘Squid Game’ island.”

2. It’s insane how Netflix put squid games out, then said “we should just ignore what the show is about and just actually make squid games”

3. I’m so sick of hearing about the creator and his woes of creating squid games.

4. This went hard because it came out during quarantine. Everyone was hungry for new content. Then they took too long to capitalize on a follow up. I’ll still watch it, but I’m not nearly as excited as this media blitz is acting like I should be. 🤷‍♂️

5. I watched the whole first season in one sitting. The ending pissed me off so much that I no longer care about the show. Literally, the last 30 seconds is all it took. It almost seems like it was supposed to be a 1 season show, but Netlix changed it last minute.

6. So sell the IP and move on.

7. Do all kids who take things to far end up being MBAs and CEOs?

8. And yet he took the money for more seasons

9. Yea that guy needs media training, like when LeBron was talking about watching squid game and critiquing Gihoon from riding the plane, the creator said some shit like Lebron sucked in Space Jams 2 lolll.

10. “Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead.”

11. I feel for the guy. His baby has become the very thing it was satirizing in the first place.
