New comments from a Squid Game: The Challenge executive producer are seemingly at odds with many fans and the creator of the original series.Squid Game: The Challenge EP Tim Harcourt was asked about Squid Game’s anti-capitalist message by TV Guide. “For us, the anti-capitalist allegory is only one very small part of Squid Game,” Harcourt said. “I often say to people, Star Wars is about swashbuckling rebels overtaking an empire, but people don’t necessarily just focus on that as being about freedom or being about anti-imperialism. So for us, that was one element.” Perceived attempts by Harcourt to redefine Squid Game’s message were met with harsh criticism on social media.Nevertheless, some cited the large number of viewers who don’t watch series like Star Wars or Squid Game for their political messaging, but rather for the rush and stakes they provide. Harcourt highlights this when he says that, unlike the original series, this is a game and the contestants aren’t forced or coerced into them. This allows The Challenge to explore Squid Game’s other core themes like teamwork and competitiveness. “It was about how people come together when they’re required to beat the game,” Harcourt continued. “It was also about how we’re ingrained from childhood to be competitive. These games are all childhood games, and they’re super-sized and it brings out this childhood competitive spirit in everyone.”Squid Game Creator Seriously Considered Using an Alternate Ending
