The Amazing Digital Circus - Western Isekai that probably will become Hazbin Hotel killer

[Escaped Abortion]

If anything they seem like pro-abstraction landmines since abstrJax seemed to calm down before being flashbanged, everyone bar pomni fucking merced the guy lmao

Nah, Jax exploded into light after stepping on the landmine, it ended the scenario right when Pomni was at her breakthrough with him. He calmed down after she shot out the lights to pay off her being told by Kinger that this calms abstractions in episode 3.

The flashbang seemed to just end the conversation, maybe it was so much light it furthers the corruption, or just shorted him out long enough to pull her from his mind in some unexplained, random way. Maybe it was part of the other character's plan, but we spent so little time with the living in favor of a post-mortem loredump on Jax.

I still think the moral of Jax's story is you will never be a woman, so make peace with the life you have. While never being directly stated, it's implied that he probably told his mom he wished he was a girl at times. Something like that, with her laughing at him. There aren't a lot of revelations you child can approach you with that get that kind of response, and GW based Jax on himself.

But let's see, Leeroy made peace with his masculinity and moved on to be in a healthy place with friends and community all while staying a guy. Jax let it destroy him, pushed away all his friends and died alone. Neither of them trooned out, trooning out wasn't the solution, but just acknowledging the failure to meet every masculine standard didn't mean he had to change his himself. It seems like the message was Goosewerx's mom was right.

 

[who dare wins?]

It got so bad they tried to defend it by comparing the ending of this movie to Evangelion, which isn't the glaze they think it is because that ending also suck ass and at least had the excuse of running out of money.

Ah yes because somehow a show which directly included an overarching biblical narrative with a finale chock full of references to all sorts of things (mostly metaphysically and theologically) is comparable to gooseworx’s squandered opportunity to make something that’ll have him down in the history books.

Here's the true episode 9

 

[Smithfield Ham]

We were talking about this 6 days ago. The story makes less and less sense the more you pay attention to it

That's why I think people will really like the finale at first but the general sentiment will be more negative overtime, especially if people go back and watch the whole series and see just how much shit gets brought up and is either forgotten about or just plain turns out to be unimportant.

Even though a lot of his fans are waking up to what a hack Goose is, and I sort of pity the ones who've been on this show since the pilot (I only jumped on back in august when I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about, I expected nothing and I'm still let down, I can't believe I wasted my time thinking a tranny could execute something well) and the fallout has been entertaining enough so far. There are mega dickriders who are going to gush over this based on the halfassed "jax is trans" and say "well if you didn't like it, write a better ending " So I'm going to right now.

Abstraction isn't a metaphor for suicide, it's what happens when the brain scan becomes too self aware of what they are/too emotionally volatile for the system to compute and it sends their code off the deep end. Jax's big secret isn't that he pushed his mom and his dad left and he's so mentally fragile he went "welp if I can't be traditionally masculine I guess I'm secretly a woman in a man's body", but rather he was driving. his dad starts to rant about he needs to toughen up and stop it with all this effeminate crap and in a moment of blackout rage Jax swerves, crashes, and kills his family (I'd add a little brother/sister too just to really hammer in the guilt) in the process while managing to escape with just some cuts and bruises, but being the spineless coward he is, he takes off before the cops get there, terrified of being culpable for manslaughter and comes to hideout in the abandoned C&A building for awhile which is where he found the headset.

Ending 1: Jax slowly has to come to realize what he's done and that the other circus characters are, at least to his brain scan, as real as anyone else, that abstraction is basically death, and that he's the horrible person he feared he was due to the accident and he abstracts upon having an emotional overload that even if he did escape, he has no one because he killed them all.

Ending 2: Everyone in the circus becomes enlightened to what they are and abstract except Jax, who pushes himself deeper and deeper into denial about what he's done because he can't cope, falling into the cartoon character delusion, leaving him the last "stable" brain scan with the other corrupted characters running around the circus and him alone with no idea of what to do now.

As for the fate of human Jax, shortly after putting on the headset, he finds some rope someplace and hangs himself out in the woods because he'd rather die now out of guilt before he can be taken by the cops and put on suicide watch where he won't get the opportunity.

I just pulled this all out of my ass, after his breakdown in episode 7 with the car headlights and I thought "the only thing I'd accept is if he killed his whole family" and we got "my dad left, abloobloo, my trauma is so unique (you and 30% of the children with divorced dads in the US. bud. you ain't special.)

Before I realized Jax was going to be cautionary tale against trooning out, I had interpreted Ribbit being his friend as a pre-existing relationship. Since he was around 21 I figured he had been responsible for a drunk or distracted driving accident that left him crippled and Ribbit in a coma when they were approached by C&A to test some later version of the headset.

So Jax's secret was he was responsible for Ribbit being in this position, but she didn't have any memories of the crash. When he explained she abstracted out of recognizing she had no life to go back to. Jax didn't want to go back either because his life paralyzed and guilt ridden wasn't something he could face. He essentially would have destroyed the person he cared most about twice and that would be the guilt he continuously failed to process.

But no, he probably admitted some troon feelings, hid them and his real life self eventually got over it as a teenage phase (he was likely 16-18 at this time) Mom probably didn't die or else they would obviously pursue the son or at least mention some years in Juvie for manslaughter plea.

 

[morfent]

is the show set in 2017 because gooseworx came the closest to killing himself in that year?
the show being set 6 years before episode 1 aired is completely irrelevant to the plot, and gooseworx would've been about 22 in 2017 (same age as jax) . with the whole "jax is a self insert" thing, you could easily read it as him venting about how close to abstracting irl he was in his early twenties.

Probably... this is why it's also so curious that Jax most wanted to say he was sorry to his Mom who laughed at his coming out. Also that even having his long hair at the end, he made peace still he/himming it out there. Mom was right, it was just a phase. He was also in the circus for a few years, so he was likely a teenager when that event happened... like GW.

Do you think Sarahclover2 was implied to be Ribbit? Maybe he even got his ex-mormon froggirl IRL for just glomming on to the + at most and not the T.

Do they ever say what the purpose of the brain scans were?

Not beyond Scratch/Mike Dobby wanting to ensure a version of himself lived on as terminal brain cancer threatened his mortal existance.


Then, knowing this was his goal and reason for being, found Caine's afterlife so off-putting, he decided oblivion was preferable after all and was the first to neck himself.

I mean, I guess I can kind of imagine he was a serious, mature type person so the eternal afterlife of child's party game was likely Hell without the flames.

This show does a TERRIBLE job balancing it's comedy and drama elements. The comedy is too juvenile and the drama is too somber, they just don't mix. Oil and Water.

That's a problem with a lot of modern animation in general. It's not sophisticated enough to be for adults only, but at the same time, it's too self-aware to be truly enchanting for kids. It's this weird middle ground that's simultaneously too mature and not mature enough. Too naive and too cynical.

Yeah Zooble, it sucks that you're a hideous abstract triangle person with detachable limbs. But for the love of God, why do you always go out of your way to attach your limbs in the most mismatched and inconveniant manner possible? Do you really need to have only one wing hanging off your shoulder at all times? Do you really need to always pick the most awkward pair of legs imaginable? [wheel foot, peg leg, squiggly leg thing, etc.] You seriously can't find a pair of legs from your Infinite Spare Parts Box that both have functioning feet? It just seems like you enjoy making your situation far worse than it needs to be, so you can complain about it.

Hmmm, now why would Gooseworx ever make a character like that? The mind boggles.

I stumbled upon this channel called "Duffy's Digital Circus", which is this fan-made Bizarro horror version of TADC. It's cheesy, but I also kind of like it because it's far more commited to the show's horror premise than Cooper could've ever bothered to do.

Duffy also made this absolute bit of cinema shortly after the NEGA incident (apologies if it's been posted already):

And remember when Gooseworx was praising the director of the BACKROOMS, practically sucking his dick... yeah, he didn't have a high opinion about Gooseworx's movie.

Wew lad. When even your butt-buddy (Viv's) company says you're shit

see just how much shit gets brought up and is either forgotten about or just plain turns out to be unimportant.

It's what I'm hoping eventually happens with Murder Drones, Glitch's other show because just like TADC despite how dogshit the writing is I keep seeing people glazing it for some reason?
Sometimes, I think maybe I'm the crazy one. But then I have to remind myself, no, the world is retarded.

The flashbang kicked Pomni out, nothing more. People are reading too deep into this meaningless show.

Yeah, but why was it even there? It doesn't seem like Pomni would have set them up because it ruined her opportunity. The hallway isn't typically littered with flashbangs, so the only sensible answer is that the other characters did it... for reasons?

I don't think it has a symbolic meaning, I just think from a strictly action to action narrative standpoint it came out of nowhere.

More like a rough draft than a final script since the narrative structure blatantly needed work, since these were relatively easy things to catch by a beta reader.

While were talking about fan animations, theres some spanish channel churning out multiple 30 MINUTE long fully animated fan episodes with millions of views each, featuring some OCs too usually. Im pretty sure a lot of kid fans dont even know what actually is and isnt part of the actual tadc show at this point.
