SQUID GAME: UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AND THEORIES

If you have not seen Squid Game yet, you're maybe living under a rock.

In this article, I will talk about the theories surrounding on how the show ends, the unanswered questions it left behind. And at the end I will talk about a prediction, that I believe, I only constructed in my simple mind. To those who have not watched yet, spoilers alert, leave this now.

First unanswered question, is why? Why, the same question Hwang Jun ho(played by Wi Ha Jun), asked his big brother, Hwang Jun Ho(played by Lee Byung Hun). Why is he the frontman? And why he also spare his brother? That is some questions? This is why believe their will be a season 2, the next question, is what will it be? A sequel or a prequel?

If it's a prequel, it will surely answer the question of why, Hwang In ho became the Front Man. As it was revealed, Hwang In Ho, is also a former contestant, that won the game. It will also revealed, who is Oh Il Nam, the host of the games. Player 001 to be exact. Many in the internet are saying, that he is Seong Gi Hun's(played by Lee Jung Jae) father. In which I agree, for he and Seong Gi Hun, are agreeing on that they have the same house. But I have a weird theory, that have just popped out just now, the moment I am writing this now. Are you ready to listen.

Oh Il Nam and Seong Gi Hun, are the same person. Seong Gi Hun, became extremely rich, in the future. But he has no family, so his life is miserable, but he is rich. He traveled to the past, and established this games. I will explained later, how he became corrupted that he made this insane games.

Another theory of mine is. In the beginning. Their are four children, playing against another four children. I believe, that the four children who are teammates, are Seong Gi Hun, Cho Sang Woo(played by Park Hae Soo), Hwang In Ho, and the suit man, who is played Gong Yoo. I don't think, that they will put Gong Yoo, Lee Jung Jae, Park Hae Soo, and Lee Byung Hun, in a series, and Lee Byung Hun, and Gong Yoo which are the bigger stars of the series, having a role of little screen time and importance. And their appearance, can't be considered a cameo. It's just not.

Now we will come back to the question, on why Hwang Jun Ho, was spared? My theory is the Front Man, want the organization to failed, by police intervention, or military by the South Korean Government.

One thing I also see coming, is a confrontation between Seong Gi Hun, and Hwang In Ho. He might be the Front Man this series, but I think in the next, he might be the new host. And their will be a confrontation.

But while the confrontation is about to happen, he knew that the stepfather of his daughter, ended up accumulating debts too, and became a participant as he is. He wanted to help but the stepfather was eliminated early, so as him, but not really. Hwang In Ho, handed him the keys to the games. It was the will of Oh Il Nam, to hand him the games. 

Years passed, he discovered that many of the people, that ended up in the games, are assholes, even the ones that won are. Only few are good and well intended people. But most of them are weak. He was corrupted, and enjoy seeing them die.

Then her daughter, Gayeong joined the games. Because her stepdad fucked up, and accumulated a lot of debt. She survived it, until the marble games. But she was saved, because Seong Gi Hun, was now the game master. But the daughter can't accept what his father has become, and killed herself. It broke Seong Gi Hun. and had become sick. 

Then he decide to come into the past. establishing the games. He recruited himself, in an intention to kill himself. But ended up winning, beginning the eternal cycle of depression. That's why he said, it's been a long time since he have fun. That is being my theory, that Oh Il Nam is Seong Gi Hun who time-traveled is right.

Whoever theories will be right, we will only know, if their is a season 2, and there should be a season 2. Cause there are some unanswered question. Some of it, I may have not even enumerated. They needed to be answered. That's my theory, and I hoped, I'm right. 

MY AFTER WATCH OF THE MARCOS-GONZAGA INTERVIEW

Before watching the video. I tried my best to put a yellow mindset. To see if I will be offended of the interview that happened between Toni Gonzaga and Bongbong Marcos.

The line of Bongbong Marcos that take hold with me, in that interview is: No, I thank you for taking the trouble. I think Toni couldn't have imagined, that she would be in a lot of trouble, just for interviewing him.

As I watch the video, until the end. Not to criticize Toni, but she didn't conversed much with the former senator. 75% of the video is Bongbong Marcos speaking. Not a really a good conversation to watch.

But, I can't find any offense from what the former senator spoke in this interview. He didn't deny nor mention the abuses. And let's be honest, put yourself in his shoes. Would you brought up, something undesirable, to talk about allegations or proven crimes of your family? You wouldn't. And Toni being polite, wouldn't have brought it up as well, to sour the conversation. 

Toni Talks, is not a political talk show, like that of Real Time with Bill Maher etc. Too many of them to be mention. It can be comparable in genre, to Oprah, etc. Too many too mention again. It's a slice of life, talk show in Youtube. So they will talk about everything, and not focus to much in history.

I think they took offense when Toni ask this:

A lot of people were saying that your father, Ferdinand Marcos, was the best president the Philippines has ever had. And to some people, he was the worst president the Philippines has ever had. But if I were to ask you, what's the best and worst thing about him?

Were they offended with Toni, putting the believers of FM was the best president in a lot, then the otherwise some? Is that it? That will be too petty, if that's it. I can't mention all of the things that may have someone found offense with. If you're a hater, that will be too many.

Again, I will mention it again one more time. If the successor of the Marcos Administration was a good one, we will forgot the Marcoses. But the realities of today, and of history proves otherwise. So the people is being nostalgic, of what they perceive as the better times. 

If this is consider a bad speech, counter it with better speech. And stop bashing Toni for interviewing him. Your party, revolted in 1986 for freedom of speech. And I believe, everyone, I mean everyone, that includes Bongbong, has the right to freedom of speech. If you don't want that, then that's a bad sign. You may have become the very thing you swore to destroy. That's Obi Wan folks.

And as of the moment, again as the saying goes, bad publicity, is still publicity. The very video at the moment I'm writing this, reached 3.6 million views. You have just made Toni and Bongbong more popular. And as an enemy to him, you're not doing the right thing. You don't make your foe popular, if you don't him to be President. You have just unto his hand. 

ANGEL'S FALSE REALIZATIONS

I have posted recently on ONK Shorties No. 30 my views on Angel Locsin's recent statements, that had been commented by Mon Cualoping, Undersecretary & Director General at Philippine Information Agency.

But first, lets view the original post of  Angel Locsin on IG.

A post shared by Angel Locsin (@therealangellocsin)

"To those who can’t go & console family & friends fighting their battles alone. I feel you. I wish for you to overcome whatever it is you are going through. This crisis has made me realize that the world can work without politicians, businessmen, police, and even without actors like me. but the world can never work without health workers. Again, thank you for all that you do. Sending everyone strength, hope, and love."

In a normal circumstance. Her statement would be viewed as ridiculous. But in a pandemic setting, are those people not really important? Let's enumerate.

Politicians. Some of them are corrupt and incompetent. But politicians are in the positions of leadership, in the national and local settings. In a normal circumstance, remove them, and it will be anarchy. No one will say what will some one will do. In a pandemic setting, leadership is needed, and many but not all, politicians are leaders. They will direct the boat.

Businessmen. Many of them are down this pandemic. But why is the government leaning to the more loose and relaxed quarantine classifications, than a hard one except one when it's really needed, or the situation became really bad? Because business failing, affects the economy. Businesses means jobs, jobs means food for the table for some families. Remove them and people will revolt.

Police. Who will control the flow of people this pandemic, if not the police and armed personnel. In the presence of a police, people might think twice of going out without a mask. They are enforcers of the law. Unless we want to live in a lawless state, we need the police.

Speaking of a lawless state, this happened before, because police official, strike in Brazil.

Over 100 dead in Brazil as police strike spurs anarchy

By Paulo Whitaker, Pablo Garcia

VITORIA, Brazil (Reuters) - More than 100 people have been reported killed during a six-day strike by police in the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo, as hundreds of troops patrolled streets attempting to keep order with schools and businesses closed and public transport frozen.

The Army mobilized airborne troops and armored vehicles on Thursday to reinforce roughly 1,200 soldiers and federal police trying to contain the chaos in Espirito Santo, a coastal state north of Rio de Janeiro.

Most of the violence was centered in Vitoria, the state capital and a wealthy port city ringed by golden beaches and filled with mining and petroleum companies.

As the saying goes, when the cat is away, the mouse will play. 

Actors. You might say, the least important. But no. This pandemic has cause much depression to many. Actors can provide entertainment through their dramas and movies, which is very much needed to ease the depression. And also helps people not to unneccessarily go outside. In a normal setting a k-drama addict can watch consecutive episodes, without fail. We can use that for people not to go out. Me personally, I'm not going out much, because I watch a lot of series. And also I'm unemployed. So they helped in a way.

And I'm in full agreement that the health workers are very important, especially these days. But not because they have bigger roles today, you will downplay those who have smaller roles. And those she mentioned, aren't small roles in scope either. Maybe because Angel had been in lead roles for a long time, that she has that complex of lead actors, I don't know. One thing is for sure, no matter how stupid a statement is. The person who utter the statements, have braincells. It's a matter of using it right.

Again, stop virtue signalling, without thorough thinking. 

MARCOS-GONZAGA INTERVIEW

 

Many are talking shit about Toni Gonzaga, for having an interview with Bongbong Marcos. And of course, all of them are leaning to the yellow color of the Philippine Politics.

I haven't watched that interview yet, while writing this piece. But they are saying that the son, boast a lot about his father works for the government. And they are offended by it. And because of that they are attacking Toni Gonzaga, for giving the former senator a platform to speak.

They have been saying all of these years, that the father, former President Ferdinand Marcos, was a dictator, and the one that killed the freedom of speech in the country. And the icons of the yellow politics is the one that restored it. Yet the believers of the party of the yellow, are the one who is acting, to censor if they can, Bongbong Marcos.

As I heard from a podcast before, censoring is not the way to counter bad speech. A way to counter bad speech, is more speech, good speech. But again, yellow believers want to crucified Toni, for interviewing him.

 

Isn't Toni Gonzaga, just doing what a talk show host does, interview people. Diversifying viewpoints. Toni didn't claim her talk show to be political. I saw her channel, and they interview a lot political figures on both sides. She also interview Leni Robredo, and the supporters of the other side, didn't react violently. That is saying something about the party who hates Marcos.

I mean the icons of the Yellow Party, are portrayed to be the icons of Freedom of Speech. But the supporters almost wants censorship. Isn't this an example, of what Harvey Dent have said in the Batman movie, you'll either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. From being believers of free speech, to advocates of censorship.

Don't be mistaken, I believe that there are some abuses, during the time of Marcos. I am not an apologist. But we can't also deny that the President has also done some good, that we are still benefiting to these day. Many are undermining the importance of infrastructure. From Ninoy Aquino to John Oliver. Mockingly saying, can you eat that? No, but the food you are eating can come to your plate, because of good roads.

What I am saying is, had the succeeding administration have done good things for the people, no one will remember the Marcoses. They will be buried in the history, like Hitler. But what followed is, re-privatization of nationalized companies. Selling of industries. Deregulation of goods and services that are supposed to be regulated. Now they are soaring high uncontrollably, to the suffering of the people. Plus incompetency after incompetency like the train mishaps, relief mishaps, and capture operation mishaps. 

The rise and imminent return, of the Marcoses is still the fault of the yellow.
