Season 2 is good if you view Sangmin as the vengeful spirit of season 1 here to make the cast pay for their sins

Yeah that's me

E: Basically when I first watched the show I avoided this thread entirely because I figured it wasn't gonna be safe and I'm not as spoiler brave as Emmy is. So when I first came here after watching all 4 seasons it didn't really occur to me that season 2 would be so reviled.

Now I understand the reasons people don't like it, and agree that they're plenty valid.

It just doesn't take away from the fact that, for me, the single greatest joy I took in watching this show was seeing ruthless conqueror Sangmin destroy his competition and rise to victory.

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
I feel like Season 4 manages to capture a lot of the elements that made the first season great like plans within plans, great character interactions and developments, and has a excellent selection of death matches. It also has my favorite game, which is the one from Episode 11, where they shoot the poo poo with the cast of SNL Korea. The only complaint I have about it is that one casting choice.

I suspect I know what the casting is tbqh but we'll see! I am actually so hype to see all the big dogs interact with one another. Kyungran already bullying Jinho and his stutter, no dignity!

Watching Minus Auction from s2 again and the general feeling is: God why is everyone this season so dumb? There's a real "Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing" feel from both the Main Match and the Death Match. I want a clip show of the next couple games instead of watching all of them just to get to season 3 faster.

I really really liked Gura from season 1. Like, he reminds me of a type of Mafia/Werewolf player, the kind that is on top of his game and aggressive and acts suspiciously but in an intentional way that makes him hard to pin down.

Do we know why bumdi calls some videos "bandage sniffer"? I get its referring to the masked game runner, but is that specific name a reference to something?

(Have I already asked that?)

I'm not positive but I believe it's to make it slightly harder for the videos to get taken down for copyright whatever.

Ahaha my memory has fooled me. The song for Jinho's Open/Pass play isn't Extreme Ways. It's Melodie.

I remembered that as the canonical Extreme Ways moment. D'oh.

For me the best song to accompany climactic genius plays has been Bangarang. Growing up with Unreal Tournament frag videos really makes Skrillex songs evoke people getting 50 headshots in a row and poo poo.

What was the song that played during S3 EP2 when they all voted Not Guilty because Hyunmin had figured out who the leader was? That was another great moment on the show for me, and the music was great.

1. all auto translate struggles like gently caress with korean
2. no one has any idea about this show except it being marketed explicitly as "made by the producer of the Genius"
3. It sounds like bandage man is back.

The editors really milk that moment for all its worth, and had already started with those montages when someone was about to lose, so you buy it. If it hadn't worked, it still would have been a great move, but the fact that it did was such an amazing turn around.

Dunno about Spotify, but BB14 winner (and general reality show enthusiast) Ian Terry has a Youtube Playlist up for stuff that was in Season 4. And a fair bit of it was obviously in older seasons too; it's a pretty good tracklist in general really.
