The VIP Element That Makes No Sense

This text accommodates spoilers for “Squid Sport” season 3.

Say what you’ll about the unhealthy American performing from the VIPs in “Squid Sport,” however there’s one element involving the viewers members of this hellish match that frankly made no sense this season, and it includes the secrecy surrounding their identities.

We finally found within the season 1 that these demise video games weren’t simply an opportunity at a greater life for the gamers, however they have been being performed for the leisure of a bunch of unidentified wealthy folks who gambled with the well-being of these preventing for the 45.6 billion gained prize cash. Amid their horrific and painfully compelled conversations, the VIPs hid behind ornate gold masks, supposedly to keep up their anonymity from different friends. This was a smart strategy, and though we knew these characters have been coming again for season 3, that strategy appeared to disintegrate fully within the present’s last season due to a particular perk that noticed the VIPs grow to be extra lively than ever.

For the primary time, we really noticed the VIPs in a sport room executing gamers who hadn’t made it by. Season 3, episode 3 noticed them dressed as guards in these signature pink jumpsuits and black masks, strolling by the halls of the hide-and-seek problem, ending off any stragglers who had barely. It was right here, although, that their act of barbarity became what you’d assume was a mistake, as all of the VIPs eliminated their masks in entrance of one another, revealing who they have been. For a present that had spent so lengthy preserving allegiances and faces hidden, the group of rich individuals uncovered themselves fully, and none of them cared. Why?

After the one-time taking pictures vary session that the VIPs participated in, the betting group stayed within the lounge they’d normally occupied for the remainder of the present, watching the model new batch of video games from a distance and betting on how far a child might get in them (one other ridiculous second of this season, by the way in which). The strangest factor about all this, although, is that they returned to carrying their elaborate golden masks when, at that time, all their secrets and techniques have been out.

Having nonchalantly proven their faces to at least one one other throughout the Keys and Knives sport, they absolutely would have been in a position to determine who else was amongst this group of rich zillionaires attending this as soon as top-secret occasion. Why wasn’t that concept integrated into the story? Such a serious reveal might’ve added a dramatic twist, and these loathsome characters might have confronted a threat that was completely different from the unlucky gamers they have been betting on. As a substitute, nothing modified, and the video games went off with no hitch. 

It is this and plenty of different little points within the last chapter of “Squid Sport” that weaken the present’s swan track, poking holes in what started as an hermetic, tense, and pulse-pounding present and have become one which simply did not play issues as significantly as some may need hoped. We all know we should not hate the participant and hate the sport as an alternative, however within the case of VIPs, it’s very affordable to hate how badly they have been dealt with.
