Alright, let’s talk about Thanos, no, not the Marvel dude snapping his fingers, but our very own Player 230, Choi Su-bong, the rapper-turned-Squid Game contestant. The guy’s life took a nosedive after he dumped his life savings into a crypto coin called Dalmatian. Spoiler alert: it tanked. Now, he’s knee-deep in debt (1.19 billion won!) and fighting for survival in the world’s deadliest game show. Classic bad life choices.
Thanos’ Psychological State: Hot Mess Express
Thanos, or as he likes to call himself, “Thanos the Great,” is a walking contradiction. On one hand, he’s bold and brash, calling himself invincible. On the other, he’s popping psychedelic drugs like they’re candy, trying to escape reality. If denial was an Olympic sport, this guy would be the gold medalist.
What’s up with the drugs, you ask? Well, life’s tough when your crypto dreams crash and burn. Instead of facing his problems head-on, Thanos prefers to stay high enough to avoid caring. It’s both tragic and, let’s be real, kinda darkly comedic.
Actions: Ruthless, Reckless, and a Bit Ridiculous
Thanos wastes no time showing his true colors. In the first game (Red Light, Green Light), he pushes other players into danger to save himself. Ruthless much? But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Then there’s his self-proclaimed squad: Nam-gyu (the loyal sidekick), Se-mi (the bold risk-taker), and Min-su (the human definition of “I don’t want to be here”). Thanos tries to play leader, but let’s be honest—he’s more “chaotic dictator” than “team captain.” He’s all about number one, and he doesn’t care who he steps on to get ahead.
The Infinity Stones Thing: A Moment of Comic Relief
Remember that hilarious exchange when another player asked if he had the Infinity Stones?
Thanos, ever the showman, proudly showed off his nails painted in Infinity Stone colors. Iconic. It’s moments like these that make you wonder if he’s just trying to mask his insecurities with humor and theatrics. Spoiler: he totally is.
Tragic and Chaotic, But Weirdly Entertaining
Thanos is a lot of things: ruthless, self-destructive, and morally questionable, but boring isn’t one of them. He’s a tragic figure trying (and failing) to cope with his failures, all while making questionable choices that range from hilarious to downright horrifying. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny he’s one of the most memorable characters in Squid Game Season 2.
