🕑 Added 2025-01-13 17:31:18 +0000 UTCHey guys!
We are FINALLY starting Squid Game season 2! I know that I'll get the question "where is season 1?!" Well, I watched that with my wife when it first came out, and I wanted to dive right into this one! We watched it way before I even started a movie reaction channel. Anyway! Onto this episode...
FUCKING SHITTTTTTTTTTT!!!! This is how you come back after 3 years and 4 months! What in the fuck did I just watch?!?!
This was such a good episode, and totally had me on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE time!
What are your thoughts about this show so far?! NO SPOILERS!
Love you guys so much,
Alex
PS: I am watching the subtitle versions with you guys first and then the dub version with my wife... lol dub is so much worse.

My toxic trait is that I think I could save the briefcase guy. I don't I have issue's.🤪
Michael

Sllumpy
it just sounds more natural

incorrect one is inflicting pain on people for enjoyment and the other is letting people inflict pain on you for enjoyment

also the 100 million won per player that gets added when they die is only $68,000 USD(yes alot of money but even the government gives about that per person annually for the dull/pension lol)
Kobain Hine(Kyber)
45 billion won is only 30 million USD bro, While yes, 30 million USD is ALOT of money, That is still only the worth of a single moderately sized computer component retail business(centrecom for example) let alone something like tesla(1.34 trillion USD)
Canaan Bishop
$1 USD is equivalent to about ₩1500

Getting off om your own pain is masochist
Syed Ali Rizwan
I mean you're both special cases aren't you but dub doesn't capture the emotion in the dialogue that the actors and the director are trying to portray.

Judy Hopps!

It really cant be overstated how much even 1 billion is, never mind 45 billion. For context, if Gi-hun spent 1 won every second, it would take him 34 years to spend 1 billion won. Now multiply that by 45. That's the resources he has available for his search. It would take him 1,500 YEARS to spend at that rate.

Hugh Jazz

Oliver
What a start to a video 🤣🤣 I’m dying
CJ
No stfuuuu, the poll already won for normal.. it’s comedy with dub.
Luqui
Bro pls watch it in dub 🙏
Michael
Btw Alex, the term for getting off on others pain isn’t masochism, it’s sadism
Irene RC
I think people whose first language is English aren't used to dub, because most of the stuff they watch are in English. I'm from Ukraine and we all here grow up on dubbed movies and shows, a vast amount of people have never watched anything in English let alone Korean, so it's a completely normal thing here, and Ukrainians love our dub, even though it's a bit worse than English imo, so I watched both seasons in English, but now that I'm rewatching, together with season 1, I'm more than happy to experience the original version
Matthew
I just watched all of season 1 for the first time last night and can’t wait to watch this season with you Alex!!!
Jessica Houser
I am too, you're not alone. I'm blind in one eye and its difficult to read the subtitles and watch the show fully. I'll make due, I suppose, but I can relate to you on this.
Michael
I know I am in the overwhelming minority when I say this but I prefer dubbed over subtitles normally. My adhd brain can’t handle reading all of that, it will take up all my brain matter and I won’t watch the actual show
Michael
I literally just finished all of season 2 yesterday and you release this 🤣
eseannn
After watching Gong Yoo, you need to watch train to Busan. Top tier performances from him in both
David Hunter
Another aspect is that the dub may mistranslate lines or alter their meanings to fit the dubbing language. That and sometimes there's an inherent vibe/attitude through the original voice (most notably in Japanese anime for me vs. dubs) that doesn't come across the same way in the dub, which can lessen the impact of the scene's intent.
Veronica Lenée
Gong Yoo (The Recruiter) is the very reason you need to watch Train to Busan. He is so good.
Caverty
I agree 100% I’ve watched some movies and shows where dub ruined it for me. But squid games is the only one to make it work good in my opinion. And yeah, isn’t sub just their actual voices? That’s why it’s more natural I think
Laggy
Sub 99% of the time sounds more natural than dub, dub voice acting is normally such a big hit or miss that it can ruin entire shows
Caverty
I’m just curious, why do people like sub more than dub. I’d rather look past the lip movement and hear it in English, rather than having to read every word and listen to Koreans say stuff I don’t understand. Not upset or anything, just curious.
Kobain Hine(Kyber)
Holy F##K, I heard everyone talking complete shit about this season but when the credits hit I actually yelled "Noooo!". Far out this was good, I wanna go back and watch season 1 to refresh my mind, Cannot wait to see E02!
Levin Sconyers
One of the coolest things to me about the very last scene, is when the camera is pointed at the recruiter’s face as he’s about to fire the last shot, half of his face (in red) shows that he is confident, while the other half (in blue) shows that he is terrified.

Where did you get that t-shirt your wearing it's awesome?
Kobain Hine(Kyber)
When you get a fart you couldnt trust, Youve finally become a man!
Joanisa
So excited for this holy shit
ianduhbean
So glad you watched the original voice acting with subtitles, it hurts my soul to tune into the dubbed version😭😂
David Ivaškovič
Sorry to nitpick but could the sounds be more balanced so we can hear what you're saying? Otherwise great reaction as usual
Melody Netherton
Your wife is so adorable! iI ove the few times I've seen her slip onto the channel some reactors are so rude to thier family when they interrupt but I love how you just work her into you comedy. Also thanks for doing the sub and I'm going to shut up now and watch because I'm super stoked for this!
Joovain
I like this season more also.
CJ
Yessir
Jeff K
I agree with you. I thought in the moment it was recency bias, but over the last couple weeks as I've had more of a chance to let it marinate, I've realized that no, I genuinely do like season two a little better, and I think in large part for what you mention: it feels like they did a better job developing more of the side characters. We got a little of that in season one but it was pretty limited to two or three people outside of Gi-hun. This one, they really created a great cast of supporting players.
Jeff K
SO glad you went with the subtitled version. The dubbing is just cartoonishly bad.
Aleksi H.
I waited to watch this with you, I wasn't sure if you would but here we are! Good intro lmao
James Skates
I've waited yo watch this for ur reaction, glad I didn't have to wait that long for this
Lukas Weimar
Same
Irene RC
I saw a lot of people complaining about this season, but I like it more (and no, it's not because I forgot what happened in the first season, I binged it for the first time last week together with season 2) They definitely made me care about the characters more this season, I didn't get that attached to them in s1
Ryan B
Fuck ya! Perfect time Alex, just sat down for lunch!
