00:00Wow, it's gonna be so much fun to start it all together, isn't it?
00:04Mm-hmm.
00:05Ta-ta-ta!
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most memorable Squid Game moments
00:12involving everyone's new favorite character, Thanos.
00:15There will be spoilers ahead.
00:17I like you.
00:21Number 10, his death.
00:30Thanos said he'd better go!
00:32What better way to begin than at the end?
00:35Thanos' death came as quite a shock.
00:37The show was building him up as the new antagonist, well, next to the frontman anyway,
00:42only to kill him off in the penultimate episode.
00:44It was completely unexpected, as was the manner of his demise.
00:51He once again confronts Myung Gi, only this time the YouTuber comes prepared, with a fork.
00:57He stabs Thanos in the neck, and he dies a rather messy death.
01:01We may not have liked that Thanos died so soon, but after all that aggression,
01:06we're not surprised that Myung Gi snapped.
01:08Get it? Like the Thanos snap?
01:20Ding!
01:21Thanos had already made an impression by the time we got to Red Light, Green Light 2,
01:25but it was this moment we knew he was gonna be a not-so-nice man.
01:28Thanos is the first player to manipulate the games,
01:31using the fluid rules of Red Light, Green Light to his advantage.
01:41If anyone moves, they get shot, and that means if anyone moves.
01:46So, Thanos simply pushes the man in front of him, who topples into two others like dominoes.
01:51And since they moved, they got shot.
01:55With this, we quickly identified Thanos as the new resident bad guy,
01:59the guy who will do anything to win.
02:03Number 8. Fly Me to the Moon
02:20Of course, this brutal moment is immediately followed by one of Thanos' funniest.
02:25Having taken his drug, Thanos immediately morphs into the animated goof we all know,
02:30and that's on full display during the Fly Me to the Moon segment.
02:33Immediately after killing the three players, Thanos is hopping around like a child,
02:37a giant grin plastered on his face.
02:40He's also clicking his heels, evidently having the time of his life.
02:44The latter visual became a huge meme, and has helped define Thanos' character.
02:49But it's also a brilliant testimony to his complexity.
02:53As much as we love to hate the guy, we just can't help but love him.
03:00Let's get it!
03:02Number 7. Beating up MG Coin
03:12Thanos has quite the grudge against MG Coin,
03:15as the crypto YouTuber lost him a ton of money,
03:18and is the very reason he's in the games in the first place.
03:22Thanos once again confronts Myung Gi and violently shoves food in his face.
03:30The YouTuber isn't one to take the mistreatment, and he attacks Thanos.
03:34Unfortunately, the rapper is much stronger and has an ally in Nam Gyu.
03:39They two-on one Myung Gi, and it's one of Thanos' most unlikable moments.
03:44It's scenes like this that we remember, despite all the memes and laughs,
03:48that Thanos is an angry, vindictive, and horribly violent man.
04:00Number 6. Taking a group picture, or trying to
04:12Some players recognize Thanos on the way to Red Light, Green Light,
04:15and complete pandemonium ensues.
04:17Thanos and his huge group of fans all crowd into the photo booth and pose for the camera,
04:22but a guard tells them to knock it off.
04:30There's something hilarious about Thanos and his fans using the game's camera to take a picture.
04:35It speaks to a nonchalant attitude, in contrast with the game's brutality,
04:39with Thanos even joking around with the guard.
04:42We would love to know what they were thinking.
04:44Maybe they even had a cheeky smile under that mask.
04:49Number 5. Confronting Min-Soo
05:10Thanos' treatment of Min-Soo is one giant joke,
05:13but their relationship culminates in a surprisingly complex encounter inside the bathroom.
05:18Complex because it's equal parts tragic, scary, and downright hilarious.
05:23Thanos confronts Min-Soo outside the stall door,
05:26and he gives one of the funniest line readings in the entire show.
05:35But the scene's tone quickly takes a turn.
05:37Min-Soo opens the door and Thanos gets physical, shoving him back onto the toilet.
05:42Knowing Thanos' violent past, it significantly raises the tension.
05:48And then, Thanos reveals a startling truth about himself,
05:51introducing elements of tragedy and digging deeper into his awful past.
05:55It's a great scene, expertly blending different tones and doing a lot of complex work with Thanos.
06:11Number 4. Legend Thanos
06:18It doesn't take long for player 196 to draw Thanos' eye.
06:22He initially spots her in the camera line,
06:24but makes his move while entering red-light-green-light.
06:27And it's with this we knew we would love the purple-haired rapper.
06:38He calls her Senorita,
06:40which is the name of a famous Korean singer.
06:44He calls her Senorita,
06:48which is just a hilarious little detail,
06:50and proceeds to hit on her before dropping a freestyle rap.
06:54And let's not forget the I like you,
06:56which is just iconic at this point.
06:58And you know, she seemed to be won over by his charms.
07:01Too bad about what happens.
07:06Number 3. The Thanos World
07:08What's up? Nice to meet you, my brother.
07:10Welcome to the Thanos World.
07:12With 196 dead,
07:14Thanos turns his eyes to another Senorita in Semi.
07:17And Min-Soo, of course.
07:19We mustn't forget Min-Soo.
07:21He's not nearly as smooth in this encounter,
07:23probably because he's high as a kite,
07:25and Semi isn't swayed in the slightest.
07:35It's a funny scene nevertheless,
07:38because the true magic comes when Thanos approaches Min-Soo.
07:40While he's obviously not thrilled with the choice of teammate,
07:43Thanos calls him my brother,
07:45and welcomes him into the Thanos World with a nice hug.
07:48Calling him cute is just icing on the cake.
07:51Maybe Semi wasn't won over by his charms,
07:53but we sure were.
07:57Number 2. Kissing the O Button
08:02Thanos is probably the most eager player of the games,
08:05aside from maybe that old dude.
08:07There's no better way to celebrate the games
08:09than by giving the O Button a giant smooch.
08:11During the vote,
08:13Thanos skips up to the console like an excited child
08:15running for snack time,
08:17and that alone is funny enough.
08:19But it gets so much better.
08:21He then gives the O Button a giant kiss
08:23and gets the crowd going with an adorable little celebration.
08:25How can someone not be won over by this man?
08:27He's just so endearingly childish.

08:50Number 1. The Whole Mingle Scene
08:56The third and final game of Season 2
08:58is an entire summation of Thanos' character.
09:00It has everything,
09:02both the good and the bad.
09:05It displays his ruthlessness,
09:07easily choosing some allies over others
09:09and forcing Min-Soo and Sae-Mi
09:11to play rock-paper-scissors for a spot in the door.
09:23But it's also a riot.
09:25There's the dancing on the carousel,
09:27the kicking of Kyung-Soo,
09:29asking about Kyung-Soo immediately after kicking him,
09:31the skrr,
09:33It really is the Thanos world
09:35and we're all just living in it.
