T.O.P's Performance Criticized in Squid Game 2

The second season of Netflix's 'Squid Game' has faced significant criticism for T.O.P's performance as Thanos, with many calling it 'unbearable' and 'awkward'. Despite director Hwang Dong Hyuk's defense of T.O.P's casting, citing rigorous testing and a tailored role, critics argue that his acting fails to impress, overshadowing the performances of other leads. The overlap between T.O.P's character as a drug addict and his own real-life controversies has amplified the negative reception, with some media outlets suggesting a more talented newcomer would have been a better fit. His excessive screen time has been highlighted as a major flaw, with observers questioning the decision to cast someone with a criminal record in such a pivotal role. Overall, the backlash raises concerns about the casting choices and their impact on the show's credibility. As viewers continue to react, T.O.P's role seems to be a focal point of disappointment in an otherwise anticipated season.
