Squid Game 3 is facing major backlash over its ending. The highly anticipated series dropped on June 27, but fans and critics are calling the finale “boring” and “sh*tty.”
Press reviews were scathing from the start. Netizens flooded Twitter with disappointment:
“Is anyone else legitimately disappointed and almost embarrassed by season 3”
— @majiyaba_xoxo“squid games season three made my head hurt fuck whoever made it this season is a terrible finale”
— @mydeariroha“If you thought season 2 is bad… then get ready to get disappointed even more… I’m sorry but #SquidGameS3 is absolute TRASH… it lost everything it had going for it… I’m so triggered… plus the ending is just infuriating…”
— @YumisuLoL
The finale failed to resolve key plot points, leaving fans frustrated after three whole seasons.
The controversy peaked when Hollywood A-lister Cate Blanchett appeared in the final scene, hinting at a US spin-off:
“WDYM CATE BLANCHETT IS IN SQUID GAME S3 ?!?!”
— @bbblanchett
Netizens slammed this move as a blatant cash grab. They argue it undermines the show’s original themes and plays into consumerism.
Reddit users echoed these sentiments, accusing the show of milking the franchise:
“The ending was a total letdown. Feels like they’re just continuing this for the money now.” — from r/squidgame
As more viewers tune in, reactions remain mixed at best. The series now faces an uphill battle to win back fans.
