This is why Squid Game used a CGI baby in season three, and it makes a lot of sense

Squid Game is back with the final six episodes and each one was a cinematic masterpiece as always, except for that stupid CGI baby.

People are ripping the Netflix series for making Jun-hee’s baby, which she gives birth to in the hide-and-seek game, so tragically fake-looking.

“That f**king CGI baby is killing me, I can’t take a damn scene seriously,” one person wrote on X, while another said: “who made that godawful CGI baby for Squid Game.”

So, why did they use CGI? Well, it’s pretty simple, really. It would have been too dangerous to use a real baby with all the action and stunts.

From heights to knives, fake blood to loud noises, there were all kinds of things on the Squid Game set that just wouldn’t have been suitable for a baby.

It would bring so many filming complexities into the mix that it would have been a headache for the producers, so using CGI was the easier option.

Okay, they could have used a real baby in some of the scenes and then used CGI for the dangerous stunts, but then the baby wouldn’t have looked the same.

At least the infant had the same look throughout the entirety of season three. Even if that look was pretty disastrous. And it avoided the logistical nightmare.

When filming with kids, there are also a lot more rules and restrictions limiting filming, like the time they are allowed to be on set, which would have made things tricky.

People are also calling out the awful CGI that was used for the dog which attacks Woo-seok when he goes to snoop around Captain Park’s house.

Okay, Squid Game definitely could have taken a bit more time on the CGI, but it didn’t take away from how great the last six episodes of season three were.
