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

Some guy named Jay-Wagner, who said he's seen TADC in theaters twice now, pulled the fire alarm at the ODEON Liverpool One theater and filmed himself doing it. You see his full face in the reflection of glass and hear his voice, confirming his bri'ish status. He makes a series of strange noises once he's on the street leaving the theater. He seems mentally unwell. Probably a bit challenged. His parents must be having a rough day after the police was called.
Why did he do it? "Felt mischievous thats all," he said. "For pure enjoyment."

Unfortunately this guy is unlikely to get into any kind of serious trouble even though he's clearly identifiable. Assuming he has no previous convictions and no one was hurt in the evacuation (i.e, there wasn't a panic or a stampede) and there was no damage to property, then he's probably looking at a small fine. Odeon probably won't even bother to pursue a civil case against him.

It's even more likely that nothing will happen to him when you consider that the Yookay basically doesn't punish petty crimes anymore. Add on to that an autism diagnosis and it would be a miracle if anything happened to him at all.
 
Terminator and Black Magic M66 are basically the same movie, with BM coming out first. There are other media like comics that supposedly had the killer robot plot too.
I don't really disagree with the overall point of your post, but my autism requires me to correct the record here.

The Black Magic M-66 OVA came out in 1987 and the manga it was based on came out in 1983. While The Terminator was released in 1984, James Cameron came up with the idea of a sci-fi slasher with a robot instead of a masked killer, worked the idea into a pitch, and secured funding in 1982, with the script being completed and filming scheduled to start in 1983, only to be delayed due to Arnold Schwarzenegger's other contractual obligations. Cameron could not have been inspired by Black Magic.

We don't need to look to what would have been, at the time, an obscure manga from Japan for Cameron's inspirations anyway, since they're pretty well known. He has acknowledged the influence of Halloween. His relentless cybernetic killing machine is pretty obviously inspired by the gunslinger android from 1973's Westworld, with Schwarzenegger even acknowledging that his performance was based on Yul Brynner's. The idea of soldiers from the future taking their fight to the past appeared in Harlan Ellison's short story "Soldier from the Future" and the Outer Limits episodes "Soldier" and "Demon with a Glass Hand". (Ellison actually sued over the similarity to "Soldier from the Future" and "Soldier", and while Cameron has always maintained he didn't plagiarize the idea, the studio settled out of court and gave Ellison a special credit.)
 
MADNESS COMBAT MENTIONED
I'll touch further on Madness as I think this is something Goose or any indie artist should follow should they create a big hitter series.

Krinkles is a very humble guy who still hosts Madness Day livestreams going over animations made by talented fans of his cartoon (despite how autistic and retarded they can be, see here and here). And besides being a very skilled and talented artist, he also draws furry porn, a fact I bet most of you didn't know about.
Now admittedly I'm not the most avid Krinkles follower (I've only ever known him on Youtube for Madness) so correct me if I'm wrong, but if you go to any of his socials he does not advertise his furaffinity anywhere. He still posts some furry art to his Twitter or DeviantArt, but not to the extent that Cooper does with flashbanging his audience over his fetish art and being "horny on main" as the kids say. What I'm saying is is that Krinkles keeps his more explicit art on the downlow and doesn't thirstpost like a retarded ape over being inflated and having his head drilled like Cooper. He seperates his important work from his gooner side pieces for the most part, and I wish more content creators had some semblance of this professionalism when presenting themselves and not be an open degenerate.
And even if he was a bit more open about his furry art, I probably (maybe) still wouldn't mind it as much since Krinkles' work is clearly aimed at a much older audience. He has that specific Newgrounds brand of edge that no child (at least intentionally) should be seeing.
Compare this piece he made back in 2025, grey, drab, great use of composition and anatomy, the only other color present is red from the obvious carnage Hank committed on himself (also gore).

Colorful, flashy, cartoonish fetish fuel, sexually appealing to the lowest common denominator on Twitter, and this nigger has the gall to say his show is for """"adults"""" when he does everything in his power to make it ostensibly child-friendly? Nah, hang the nigga, he guilty as FUCK!

But yeah, the whole point of this post is that you should be very wary of how you present yourself online and what kind of audience you aim to attract. Even if what you make is intended to be for a certain group, if that doesn't reflect in your work then it's completely meaningless to say otherwise. Don't be a pyrocynical and keep that shit in the closet! :stickup:
 
Maybe they thought adding a rape scene would make it even more edgy even if it was edgy enough.
I think it was done more to give the game something. The story has broad, bland characters, not enough to fill a 6 hour game or however long it is.

I don't really disagree with the overall point of your post, but my autism requires me to correct the record here.
I can believe it. Tracking down inspirations and what was "first" is a messy thing. It's why I don't lean on it too much.

It's why I don't mind TADC taking notes from I have no mouth, and why people keep finding huge lists of things it's supposedly "ripped off".

As for Terminator specifically. Invincible killer robot (and the general plot of an everyman victim with a protector) has been done a lot. I didn't know about Westworld, but I'd heard the same plot had been used in various old comics like 2000ad. I want to say Astroboy was involved somehow, but I don't know.

Cameron could not have been inspired by Black Magic.
I feel the same about 40k and Battletech ripping each other off. Both were, at the time, niche games in a niche hobby that exploded and went mainstream. I doubt they were ripping each other off. If they were, they'd have to go to great lengths to steal from games that were, at the time, small potatoes.

in the case of TADC, Goose has been pretty open about where the ideas came from. Likewise, 40k was pretty obvious as well. At the time sci-fi games didn't sell, and 40k started as conversion kits for fantasy models. Ogres, Orcs, etc.
 
Is Ellen having sex with a gay guy? Why would a gay guy want her? Maybe Benny is just so down bad for some sex and none of the other guys were interested since the rest were all straight?
I never played the game but read the story and watched a play through of the game. Anyway, I always thought that AM altered Benny’s sexuality. Like, I’m fairly certain there’s a section where Ted exposits on how Benny was once a handsome, talented, and extremely homosexual scientist… only to be transformed into a repulsive rape-ape with a gigantic dick. And, like, part of Ted’s issue is that he’s porn-brained and assumes all women like being impaled on monster-cocks because women are whores. So, like, a sane person would conclude that women don’t like giant monkeys with huge battering-ram dicks jackhammering their cervix, but Ted is clearly a nutcase.

Returning to Benny…. This suggests that part of AM’s degradation of Benny is the complete erasure of his identity. A man who was once intelligent is rendered ape-like, a man who was handsome was made ugly, and a man who loved other men becomes a dildo for some random black chick.

It would be like if Zooble’s file was derived from the straightest woman alive and Caine’s programming turned her into the they/them lesbian we see in the show. Or, like, if Zooble as we know her is an accurate representation of her nonbinary IRL counterpart, but was reshaped into, say, Ragatha - dress and bow and all.

Before the finale came out, I would have suggested that maybe Cooper alluded to this. That is, I would have interpreted the whole “Zooble straightens out her limbs when she holds her breath” thing as a nod to Benny’s altered sexuality. Jax even frames this as “Zooble turning straight”, which mirrors what happened to Benny. But after that finale? Nah. Cooper didn’t think that hard and it was just a lame combination gay / chud joke. Alas, alack, it’s almost like this story had potential.

Edit: Here are some quotes from the text.
Harlan Ellison dijo:
When AM had altered Benny, during the machine's utterly irrational, hysterical phase, it was not merely Benny's face the computer had made like a giant ape's. He was big in the privates; she loved that! She serviced us, as a matter of course, but she loved it from him. Oh Ellen, pedestal Ellen, pristine-pure Ellen; oh Ellen the clean! Scum filth. Gorrister slapped her. She slumped down, staring up at poor loonie Benny, and she cried. It was her big defense, crying. We had gotten used to it seventy-five years earlier. Gorrister kicked her in the side.
Benny had been a brilliant theorist, a college professor; now he was little more than a semi-human, semi-simian. He had been handsome, the machine had ruined that. He had been lucid, the machine had driven him mad. He had been gay, and the machine had given him an organ fit for a horse. AM had done a job on Benny.

Went to go see the movie with my little bro and I’m completely missing the context around anything so I have no clue what was going on but I gotta say wow, that was bad. I physically cringed when the rabbit guy was in a maid outfit. I’m not sure if it was worth the outing. And even as someone who has never watched this before I could notice the plot holes in multiple areas. Written by a loony troony too? Makes sense.
 
I'm just glad they didn't explicitly confirm Jax as a troon, which is a surprising level of restraint on Gooseworx's part considering that trannies love making every single thing they create about how heckin' trans they are and how you should totally blackmarket yourself some troonshine and hide it from your parents, kids!, so gold star on managing to maintain that baseline level of public decency. Sure, they dropped hint after hint that he was, but coming just short of confirming it at least allows for alternative readings, which again is more restraint than I expected with the writer being what they are. 2/6 of the human characters are already LGBT with Zooble being a (still clearly female) nonbinary and Gangle being dripping wet for her, so bumping it up to a full half would've just been gratuitous, especially since that would leave Kinger as the only male human of the entire cast. Leaving it to interpretation doesn't bother me (in regards to the story itself, but see below for more), whereas outright coming out and saying he's le heckin' girl would've just been the Celeste/Bridget/Vivian retcon bullshit all over again.

With the elephant in the room out of the way, I "liked" it. With qualifications. I'm a little disappointed in the SOMA theory turning out to be true because it makes the whole story feel kinda pointless in retrospect, even knowing the whole intended "find meaning in a meaningless existence" message, but I enjoyed it well enough. Definitely feels like the SOMA explanation was done to torch the IP and run by leaving the story with nowhere else to go and forcing fans to move on by destroying any hope of the characters ever reaching their goal. Which I'm happy to oblige, since looking at all the discussion spaces out there, any remaining discourse on the show from this point on is going to be 95% dominated by vicious debates over Jax's gender until the end of time, and that's a shame because I did enjoy some of the fanart up to this point.

In short, glad I watched the show overall and the finale wrapped up the story itself well enough, but it's already clear it's firebombed the show's legacy. I don't hate it, but I can't in good conscience give it any higher than a 6/10, and it brings the show as a whole down from a 9 to an 8. I would've been happy if the show ended after Episode 4, or maybe Episode 5 if we tore out the "sad Ragatha" ending.
 
I actually read the Jax gender thing as a tendancy to cross-dressing rather then outright troonery. Especially as it's revealed his human base went on to be a normal male.

Which is what most men of that persuasion were 20 years ago before the Troon Brigade declared that every last motherfuckin' one of em 'had to have their egg cracked' because they really were all secretly women in men's bodies inside, instead of men who wanted to 'feel pretty' and crank one out in panties and stockings every now and then.

That's what I read it as too, but the whole point of the troon fad is to try to frame a fetish that you should (rightfully) be ashamed of bringing up to others in polite company into le heckin' social revolution, because they realized that shameless exhibitionism adds to the thrill of rubbing one out over it. Particularly since Jax is a blatant chud who knows that this getting out would punch an irreparable hole in his devil-may-care "invincible asshole" image and is (again, rightfully) worried about losing that swagger. But then again, I saw more than one comment paint him as an exhibit of the "beauty" of the incel-to-trans pipeline that happens when one of those nasty little fuckers gives up and sinks into depravity, with all sorts of deranged examples (a) as to why, like his human self wearing a "gender non-conformist hoodie" at the end (i.e. wearing a hoodie makes you trans). You can't just have a vulnerable side you only reveal around people you trust because you know your enemies would destroy your reuptation over it, anything other than autistic stoicism even in private must be a sign that you were a true and honest womyn all along.

My favorite comment (a) about it I've seen has to be "it's no wonder every single INCORRECT reading of his character arc comes from ignorant cishet normies who don't have the same ⭐wisdom⭐ we do [kid, aren't you like 16?] to see the signs, while me and all my trans friends picked up on all the subtext right away!" It's like they know that divide exists but are determined to come to exact wrong conclusion as to why. It's almost as if normal people get a normal reading out of the backstory of an insecure guy who just can't seem to earn his parents' approval and how a neglectful upbringing can fuck with one's attitude and self-image, while all the troons are desperate to twist it into "proof" to affirm their own poor life choices.

Lord knows how these assholes are going to butcher Kanji Tatsumi in the Persona 4 remake. They already tore out the "creepy beach tranny" gag from Persona 3's, to say nothing of the aforementioned TTYD shitshow.

I figured it was something made for kids at first so I was definitely a little shocked when it got to that part. I will be fair though, outside of that I didn’t really see any fetish related content. And to give it props it had nice animation and the creator, despite unfortunately being a troon, is not too bad of a character designer. It’s no wonder the Japs took a liking to the characters. It’s a shame the entire plot was genuine liquid sewage.
 
You know the craziest part? According to the Prima strategy guide there is a homo, and it isn't Benny. It's Nimdok, who was having poopy butt sex with Mengele.

But why is the picture of Gorrister? Was he the one having sex with Mengele? Is the true lore of IHNMAIMS is a group of gay nazis forced to have sex with a black woman for all eternity?
 
I can't find it again, but I remember a comment on a video talking about the movie says that Jax abstracting offscreen and Pomni and the audience only learning about it second-handly was supposed to be a parallel to how you usually learn about your friends or family committing suicide from someone else and the shock of thinking they're alive one moment, then learn that they're gone the next.

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that if something like that happens, you'd mourn and regret how poorly you may have spent your time with that person and all the things you couldn't do to help them, learn to move on, and try to be better in the future. You do NOT go into that person's mind, get a huge loredump on their personal life, then have a therapy session to make them feel better. But what do I know?
 
Ahora, los fans desean, sin ironía alguna, que la película sea nominada a los premios Óscar.

These assholes think their shitty movie is going to be on par with animated films that actually won Oscars, like Spirited Away (2003), Up (2010), Rango (2012), and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, to name a few.

The only difference between these movies and this digital circus is that the former were created by people experienced in the entertainment and animation industry, while the latter doesn't know how to create interesting character development.

Seriously, Glitch's fans are a bunch of fucking idiots.

I have no idea, but it is Nimdok's section. I think they're supposed to have their own mini-portraits for each of their sections but they fucked up and made them all Gorrister. You can check it out here on page 209 (book page, not archive page)
 
As for Terminator specifically. Invincible killer robot (and the general plot of an everyman victim with a protector) has been done a lot. I didn't know about Westworld, but I'd heard the same plot had been used in various old comics like 2000ad. I want to say Astroboy was involved somehow, but I don't know.
There are plenty of stories about killer robots, but the cyborg in The Terminator is directly inspired by the android gunslinger from Westworld. Both are relentless killer robots that look human on the outside but robotic underneath. Both have parts of their human disguises destroyed to reveal robotic parts beneath. Both are crack shots with firearms. Both wear dark colors. In both The Terminator and Westworld, we see scenes of the robots tracking opponents using their electronic vision. Arnold Schwarzenegger has acknowledged that he based his performance on Yul Brynner's, and during his audition, Schwarzenegger talked to James Cameron about the gunslinger. Westworld was a successful science-fiction movie that Cameron was certainly aware of, so it's probably not necessary to go searching for more obscure inspirations.

Interestingly, since the masked killer from Halloween was, according to John Carpenter, directly inspired by the android gunslinger, and the cyborg from The Terminator was inspired by the masked killer, there's an indirect influence as well.
I feel the same about 40k and Battletech ripping each other off. Both were, at the time, niche games in a niche hobby that exploded and went mainstream. I doubt they were ripping each other off. If they were, they'd have to go to great lengths to steal from games that were, at the time, small potatoes.
This is getting way off topic and I agree with the main thrust of what you're saying, so I won't get too into it, but I want to point out that FASA, the creators of BattleTech, and Games Workshop, the creators of 40k, were both licensees for the early sci-fi TTRPG Traveller. FASA was founded to publish supplements for the game and GW published and/or distributed the game and supplements (including FASA's supplements) for the UK market and supported it in White Dwarf. Traveller draws a lot of inspiration from military sci-fi literature, and both BattleTech and 40k (especially Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader) draw inspiration from it. So, it's less a matter of BattleTech ripping off 40k or 40k ripping off BattleTech and more that designers from both companies played and designed materials for the same game before deciding to do their own separate things.
