Myung Gi (The Fall): A brief Player 333 analysis based upon the interpretation of the character by the writer.

Before I begin this analysis I will say it point blank. I don’t believe Player 333 is evil. To me morality is more difficult to judge in situations meant to challenge morality or force others to go against it for their own survival (Squid Game, Danganronpa, Your Turn To Die, etc). If you disagree with what I believe then that’s fine, but if you are mainly just going to hate for the sake of me liking Myung Gi’s character please just save us both the headache and block me.

Myung Gi is not evil. He is human. Not as good of a human as others but human otherwise. His character is meant to be a descent from a build up. He did want to make amends with Jun Hee and tried to do so, but his hyper fixation of making amends with her but not the others he wrongs leads him into situations that he has to face the consequences of his own actions. When Myung Gi kills Thanos he is completely horrified and even after the whole incident he still is shaken by it. He still has morals and not devoid of it. However, Squid Game is meant to make people forgo their morality and humanity for money. And Myung Gi plays into that entire aspect as time goes on. However, he still has one thing to keep along the line of morality - Jun Hee. However, the games still keep him teetering between the lines of good and bad. Hide and Seek, makes him have to kill someone to move on, but even then he doesn’t enjoy it, he still is shaken by it when he does commit to killing someone. Again teetering but still has morality because of Jun Hee being alive. But then Jump Rope happens and Myung Gi is wanting to carry Jun Hee across but she rejects him, and seeing that she isn’t budging he goes along without her, but it’s here that Myung Gi loses the main thing that kept him on the moral line - Jun Hee. Jun Hee kept him going on the moral line, even when he was put in situations that he would forgo his morality for, he wasn’t completely gone, but this moment tips him over edge and begins his fall. Without Jun Hee, Myung Gi turns to the thing that he came for in the first place - Money. Now his focus is on money, and money only. He no longer has anything that can pull him back up from the fall, so he falls even more. And in the final game he keeps falling forgoing more of his morality and humanity for the money. Killing becomes more numb to him, and his mind is only on money. He blind to money, so much so that he can’t see the very embodiment of rebirth from the one who kept him on the moral line. And when he does see it, he rejects the thing that could have pulled him up once again. Once again falling even more. The ground becomes closer and closer with every action that he takes, stripping away his humanity and leaving a monster in its place. But with nowhere else to go and no more things to pull him back up his fall ends with a crash to the ground where his final resting place is. But even as he became the very monster that the game makes people into, he still is human nonetheless. Which is why he himself is included in Gi Hun’s final speech because even with everything he’s done, he still is a human.

Jinu’s Soul is in Rumi’s Sword

If the people behind KPop Demon Hunters make a sequel and don’t cash in on this Soul Eater/Noragami idea I’m gonna be pissed. Her sword literally changed after Jinu sacrificed himself and gave her his soul. You can’t just leave that like that. It’s golden opportunity that’s too good to be wasted, they better take advantage of it.

I was listening to these two songs, and this is the first person who popped into mind.
