Followers of this new format have echoed a confusion in the intro of this contest. The production chose aerial and panoramic images of large world cities such as New York, Chicago, London and even Murcia as a surprise guest. The capital of the Region got into the video because of the editor, who He confused the Christ of Monteaguado, located in the heart of the province, with the Christ the Redeemer or Christ of Corcovado.one of the most sought-after statues in Brazil thanks to its unmatched historical value.

Two monuments with great similarities

In the introduction A large figure of Jesus Christ can be seen with open arms, but it is not the one located in Rio de Janeiro, as the video shows, but rather the monument built in Murcia. Both statues have some similarities, such as the color and the arrangement of the figure with its arms open and its head half-lowered.

The dimensions are the only element that differentiates them, given that Christ the Redeemer has a height of 38 meters, while that of his simile does not exceed 15 meters. A fact that the Netflix production did not consider when designing the introduction of the contest. Of course, social networks have not remained silent in the face of this confusion, and this has been demonstrated by the reactions of some users who have found the error when they started watching the reality show.

I don’t know if it’s intentional or a mistake with Rio de Janeiro… but Monteagudo #Murcia is the first image of the Squid Game on Netflix along with cities like Sydney, Chicago, New York or London, when I was passing through there to go to Murcia When I was little, I told my father, that’s dad that always appears in the books and my father told me no. In the audio they say Christ the Redeemer of Rio de Janeiro, are some of the notable reactions.
