If you remember one of our videos from a while back, we’ve already gotten to see which Sony
Animation Villain was able to come up on top when it came to the infamous Squid Game. But
with so many other great characters in Sony’s repertoire of animated films, we thought that it
was about time we take a look at how the studio’s heroes go up against each other.
I’m Brad with WickedBinge, and we’re here to figure out which
Sony Animation character would win Squid Game?
As always, every character who enters the Squid Game loses access to any weapons or
extraordinary abilities - including superpowers, supernatural abilities
and spider sense - in order to keep everyone on as even of a playing field as possible.
We’re also going to be throwing in a few secondary main characters as well, since
there are a limited number of fully-animated Sony Animation
movies and thus a limited number of heroes we can include in our game.
With our main rules out of the way, it’s time to meet today’s players! For this game, we have:
Elliot, Boog, Cody, Chicken Joe, Dracula, Jonathan, Flint Lockwood, Sam Sparks, Red,
Silver, the Pirate Captain, the Pirate with a Scarf, Gene, Hi-5, Katie Mitchell, Rick Mitchell,
Beau the Donkey, Arthur Christmas, Peter B. Parker, Miles Morales, Vivo and Din Song.
That gives us a grand total of 22 competitors. Alright, let’s get these death games started!
As always, we’ll start with our first game: “Red Light, Green Light”.
“Red Light, Green Light” is a game that’s all about speed and sharp listening skills.
The goal is to make it to the finish line as fast as you can. However, if a player is too
focused on the finish line to realize when a ‘red light’ is coming up, or if they easily panic and
accidentally move or stumble when they’re supposed to freeze, this game could spell their doom.
When it comes to this first round's winners, we feel like Red would actually do pretty well. Yes,
he may be a fairly angry bird and can be impatient at times, but Red is also one of the more cautious
and observant residents of Bird Island, which could really help him out in this game.
Peter B. is a professional hero with a ton of experience, allowing him to
keep a calm head under pressure, even while his life is in serious danger.
Being a musician, Vivo has some pretty sharp listening skills.
His small size and speed could also give him a huge advantage.
As for this round's deaths, our first loss unfortunately belongs to Chicken
Joe. While this chill chicken can handle the waves pretty well,
we just don't think he'd be able to react quickly enough to avoid the bullets.
Our other death in this round is the youngest member of the Santa Claus family, Arthur. While
we're sure he'd handle the game aspect well enough, Arthur can still be pretty
uncoordinated and clumsy at times. We also feel like he'd easily panic once shots started firing.
With 20 of our players surviving, it’s time for our next game - “Ppopgi” or Honeycomb.
The Honeycomb game requires patience and a steady hand. Too much shaking or
pressure could cause a fatal break. As such, our contestants will need
to have enough focus to poke out their shape without accidentally breaking it.
Being a handyman and thus very skilled with both his hands and tools such as screwdrivers,
we feel like Rick Mitchell makes it through this round very easily.
The same could be said for both Flint and Din. Flint is an inventor who is constantly working
with wires and other small things. He may not be the most coordinated person ever, but he is
good with his hands. As for Din, although he's not an inventor, Din is an artist, so the same
principles apply. Along with having steady hands, Din is also fairly patient, which could also help.
Moving onto this round's deaths, the first to fall is the legendary
Dracula. While his powers normally would make this task pretty easy,
Drac wouldn't have access to those supernatural abilities. Additionally,
Drac can be pretty impatient, as we see whenever he struggles with the touch screen on his phone.
Next up on the chopping block, we have the Pirate Captain. Although he
has steady enough hands and doesn't really have a temper, he DOES have a huge ego but
doesn't exactly have the intelligence to back it up. We could easily see the Pirate Captain
thinking he has a 'genius' solution only for it to completely fail.
Our final two deaths - Beau and Elliot - ultimately come down to the same reason. Being
a donkey and a deer respectively, both of them would have to deal with their hooves
getting in the way. Not exactly ideal for a game that involves using a tiny needle.
Looking at our remaining contestants, we’re left with 16 players still standing. Following the
Honeycomb game, we of course have “The Midnight Brawl”.
Lack of food and sleep plus the stress of staying alive can drive any person to
the point of violence, and in these games, it’s every player for themself. To survive this game,
a person must be either strong enough to fight or clever and sneaky enough to hide. So,
who would be able to either fend off attackers or properly hide themselves until the brawl was over?
One of the players who has the easiest time in this game is definitely Boog. I mean… he's a bear,
and a really strong one at that. He is absolutely making it through.
The same could be said for both our Spidermen - Peter B. and Miles. Even without access
to their super strength and spider sense, we feel like both of these guys would either be
skilled enough to defend themselves or smart enough to properly hide themselves.
Regarding our losers, the first death belongs to Hi-5. Just because he IS a
hand doesn't mean that he's automatically good at throwing hands. He also isn't that strong,
skilled or stealthy, putting him at a huge disadvantage.
The same could certainly be said about Cody, whose skills only really apply to surfing.
Cody also has a temper and a bit of an ego, which could also make it hard for him to safely hide.
The next death on our list is the always likable Jonathan. Being without a doubt one
of the weakest residents of Hotel Transylvania, Johnny didn't really stand much of a chance.
Unfortunately, we also have to say goodbye to Din. Yes, he may have become a martial arts
master - but ONLY because of a wish. Since that's technically a supernatural ability,
we couldn't let Din use those Kung fu skills - which meant that he really didn't
have any other defenses that he could use to save himself.
With several more contestants permanently down for the count and 12 players left
standing, it’s time for another strength-based game - “Tug of War”.
Unlike the actual “Squid Game”, we aren’t going to assign characters to specific teams. Instead,
we’re simply going to judge them based on their abilities and likelihood to survive.
To win “Tug of War”, you don’t just need strength. You also need strategy,
and a willingness to work with others. Even weaker players have a shot at
surviving if they can coordinate properly with stronger players.
Once again, Boog does incredibly well in this game. Not only is he
a good team player, but his strength is a huge asset to any team he ends up on.
Another player who does very well is Sam. She may not be the strongest, but she's also smart and,
more importantly, is a great team player who is able to both lead and follow.
The same could be said about Silver. Beyond just her intelligence,
she doesn't really have an ego and is willing to do what's necessary for her
team, while also providing great plans and strategies.
Moving onto our deaths, the first of this round is Gene. He may be a pretty friendly
and easy-going guy, but strength still very-much counts in a game like this - and
this emoji just doesn't have any muscle whatsoever.
Next on the death counter is Red. While he has his own skills, he very much likes to
be in charge and can be a bit controlling, which probably wouldn't mesh well with the
rest of his team. His small stature would also make this game a struggle for him.
Similarly, Vivo also falls here. Not only is this monkey musician pretty tiny and weak,
but we also have to factor in the communication
barrier that'll likely be present, making things even harder for him.
After this latest round, we have just 9 contestants left. Up next,
we have “The Marble Game”.
Marbles is an interesting one, at least in the context of “Squid Game”. There are multiple
ways for pairs of players to play their marble game. They could focus on accuracy or how far
they can roll their marble, or they can simply guess how many marbles are in their opponent’s
hand. As such, there are multiple ways to win, with most of these ways relying on either skill
or luck. Of course, if you don’t have the skills to win, there’s always manipulation…
We once again feel that both Silver and Sam would do well here. Again,
these are two of the smarter and most level-headed players left in the game,
with the two of them likely having the skills needed to play the actual game
well. Additionally with Sam specifically, we saw that she was able to see through Chester
V's manipulation tactics, which is something we can't exactly say for one of our losers…
We're also going to count the Pirate with a Scarf as one of our winners. Unlike his boisterous and
fame-seeking Captain, the Pirate with a Scarf isn't easily swayed and is incredibly focused,
not really being distracted by an ego that he has to pump up.
As for this game's losers, this is where Boog's luck - and reliance on his strength - finally runs
out. While he was able to squeak through the Honeycomb game,
we just don't think he would have enough skill or patience to make it through this round.
We also have to say goodbye to Flint. For as much of a genius that he is, both Cloudy With a
Chance of Meatballs movies have shown him being manipulated and tricked by the films' Big Bads.
Additionally, if he was paired up with Sam, he would most likely lose on purpose for her sake.
Speaking of which, the tragic element of this particular game - as seen before in the show
proper - is still very much present. Considering that both Katie and Miles are still alive, we have
no trouble at all believing that Peter B. and Rick would happily give themselves up for their kids.
We’re now officially down to our final 5! And just in time for one
of this competition's deadliest games: “Glass Stepping Stones”.
This game is another tricky one for a hypothetical scenario, as much of
this game relies on luck. There is ONE strategy to it, however, that being the
advantage of going last - after some glasses pieces have already been broken. As such,
those who have a big enough ego to want to try a game first will likely seal their doom.
While not necessarily egotistical, Katie is very
bold as well as very brave. While she maybe wouldn't go for the lowest number on purpose,
we can't see her necessarily shying away from it either, thus sealing her fate.
Next up on the death list is Sam. Like Katie, she's very brave and,
while she can be cautious, it ultimately doesn't hold her back by that much.
Our final death of this round is, unfortunately, Silver. Of our three deaths this round,
Silver probably had the best chance of passing, as she might have been able to
figure out the right path thanks to her intelligence. Buuuut, given that birds
already struggle with seeing glass, her potential advantage ultimately couldn't account for much.
So, that leads us with our two finalists: Miles Morales and the Pirate With a Scarf.
Both of these characters could easily be called the most cautious of the remaining players,
making them all the more likely to go last in addition to the skills and good
coordination that they have, giving them the best chances of making it through.
Just like in the show, our final challenge will be a one-on-one duel in the titular Squid Game.
In this game, two opponents must go up against one another,
with one acting as a defender and the other as an attacker, with the attacker doing everything
they can to reach the top of the court (or the squid’s ‘head’) and touch it with their foot,
with the defender doing whatever they can to stop them. Or at least, that’s how Squid
Game is traditionally played. Here though, it’s more of a ‘battle to the death’ type of deal.
In all honesty, this is probably one of the closest matches that we've ever had on this
channel. Because neither one of them have access to superpowers or weapons,
they're actually pretty equally matched. You could argue that since the Pirate with a Scarf is older,
he may have a size and strength advantage on Miles - although, given how lanky he is, we doubt it.
However, we'd say that an even bigger advantage would be Miles' determination and craftiness,
which has been shown to help him out of tight situations even without his Spiderman powers.
So, after much debate, we feel like the Pirate With a Scarf would be the one to fall in the end.
Maybe if he had access to his cutlass, things would've been different,
but sadly that just isn't the way the game is played. Which means our Sony
Animation Hero Squid Game winner is none other than Miles Morales. It seems almost
fitting that both our hero and villain winners come from the same amazing movie.
