However, as much as it feels like everyone is a fan of Squid Game already, it appears that PewDiePie isn’t one of them. One of the biggest YouTube stars in the world gave his unpopular opinion about Squid Game in a recent YouTube video, and it’s safe to say that he’s ruffled a fair few feathers.
What does PewDiePie think of Squid Game?
In one of his most recent uploads, the 31-year-old YouTube star can be seen playing a Roblox re-creation of Squid Game. While playing, PewDiePie started to criticize Squid Game. He says that Squid Game is just “ripping off all these animes”, citing Kaiji and Liar Game as Japanese animation shows that have similar plots to Squid Game. He also added that one of the Netflix show’s biggest flaws was that the “protagonist was actually kind of smart.” Even if PewDiePie isn’t a fan of Squid Game, he did admit that he hasn’t finished watching the entire season yet. He explained that he’s “only watched a few episodes of Squid Game.” Ironically, the popular content creator can’t seem to stop playing the show’s re-creation on Roblox. It’s hard to deny how popular Squid Game has become. As mentioned earlier, Netflix has confirmed that Squid Game could become the biggest TV show on the platform ever. What’s perhaps the most surprising part about this is that it hasn’t even been a month since Squid Game first aired on Netflix on September 16. The series’ director Hwang Dong-hyuk also wrote all the episodes. Hwang has previously stated that he has no plans to write a sequel or a follow-up season to Squid Game at the moment.
