The second season of Squid Game was highly anticipated, but it's (unexpected!) cliffhanger ending has left fans far more puzzled than satisfied. The first season had set the bar incredibly high, with its blend of suspense, emotional intensity, and social commentary, so naturally, expectations were sky-high for the sequel. However, as viewers reached the final moments of the latest season, many couldn’t help but feel a tad bit underwhelmed.
With a seven-episode run that seemed to fly by, the plot left audiences dangling on a cliff—(literally) and figuratively. While some fans praised the emotional depth of the new storyline, others took to social media to air their frustrations with the lack of resolution and a couple of head-scratching plot points.
Still, as always, the Squid Game fandom has found a way to turn their disappointment into memes worthy of hitting the trending page of X. From meme-worthy tweets to hilarious multi-purpose GIFs, it is clear that no matter what happens on screen, fans are going to have a good laugh about it.
How fans are dealing with Squid Game season two’s wild ending?
It didn’t take long for the internet to get on board (at least with hilarious reactions - because how else can you respond to such a to the season finale). Fans were quick to voice their confusion, shock, and even boredom over the conclusion. One tweet captured the collective mood perfectly:
“WHAT TF WAS THAT ENDING?!?!? #SquidGame2.”
It seems many were left scratching their heads, wondering if this was all a setup for a third season or just a cruel way to leave viewers hanging.
Another popular sentiment among viewers was how the plotline seemed to take a back seat to the games themselves. One user lamented:
“season 2 of Squid Game lowkey boring like idgaf about the storyline just show me the games.”
Clearly, for some viewers, the heart-pounding survival games were what made the show stand out, and they were less than thrilled by the focus on deeper character arcs.
The cliffhanger also hit a nerve with viewers, especially those who had spent hours binge-watching. As one fan hilariously put it:
“Me after watching #Squid Game2 ending at the cliffhanger and wasting 7 hours of my time only to get nothing in return.”
Their frustrations were mirrored by another fan's exaggerated reaction:
“No way squid game season 2 was just seven episodes and then ended like that.”
The star-studded cast also sparked plenty of jokes, especially around Gong Yoo’s character in the first episode. One fan posted a GIF of a woman aiming a gun at herself, with the caption:
“Gong yoo the whole first episode #Squid Game2.”
And of course, others compared the second season to the first, with commenting:
“okay i’m just gonna say it #SquidGame2 is not as good as season 1,” and “so wtf was that #SquidGame2 ending…” accompanied by a GIF of Miley Cyrus sighing.
Fans even had sharp takes on character decisions, with one pointing out:
“Gi-Hun should have learned from the first game not to trust a player with 001 #Squid Game2.”
Clearly, the twists and turns left some viewers feeling more exasperated than entertained.
More about Squid Game Season 2
In addition to the fan responses, Squid Game season 2 made numerous artistic choices that caused popular division. Season two delves further into the character's internal experiences, especially Gi-Hun's, while the first season was filled with intense action and heartwarming revelations.
The drama went deeper into the nuanced morals of its players, but its ambiguous conclusion caught viewers off guard. The concluding scenes imply that the games are far from ending, but fans are left with more questions than answers regarding the future of the series.
The fact that there were just seven episodes in Squid Game Season 2 unlike the first season, which had nine episodes. This added to the disappointment of viewers who were hoping for a more satisfying ending. Although the show's creators have hinted at a third season, the abrupt ending has generated a lot of discussion about whether the series' allure is beginning to wane.
