What's to bet that the Fornite item descriptions were provided by Glitch before they even decided on Jax being trans.
It'd be hilarious if Goose and the VAs affirming the Trans interpretation is just because that is what the fanbase came up with it and ran with it. And you can't exactly go against it without stirring up a shitstorm. Wouldn't be worth it.
This is just as bad as the troon that created Celeste retroactively making the main character a troon after he himself trooned out.

I did like the jab that Jax made in the finale about mocking genderspecials but Gooseworx still insists that Jax is a closeted troon. Still, I thought Zooble was supposed to be the token trannybait, so why does Gooseworx want to shove another troon in the show? Trannies ruin everything.

Anyway, the finale was not as bad as I thought it would be, but it felt too rushed. It also begs the question about what exactly the remaining characters plan on doing with all of the abstractions, since they were released when Caine got deleted before coming back, and it is heavily-implied that the abstractions are still dangerous. It seemed like a bit of an ass-pull that putting abstracted-Jax in some sort of blanket tent put him in stasis somehow when up until now the only way of dealing with abstractions was to lock them away.
 
So I watched the finale and tried to force myself to like it...but no.

It's dogshit. The beginning with Pomni and Kinger is alright and all the characters learning their AIs but then coming together to try to use their conjuring to rebuild the circus to their liking was a solid opening premise. Heck if it just stuck with that I wouldn't have hated it, I'd have been underwhelmed sure but I'd be able to shrug and go "eh, it makes sense I guess."

But the instant Jax abstracts and the ENTIRE PLOT shifts to sucking his cock and justifying him being an asshole the entire plot falls off a cliff and doesn't recover. The moment, the very moment, Pomni hugs abstracted Jax the episode hits shitsville and doesn't let up. At that point it's just Goosey screaming into the void about how he'll never be a woman and it's the worlds problem not his for like twenty minutes. Then the loose ends are tied up as lazily as possible. Everyone hugs because FEEL GUD ENDING. Then that's it. Roll credits.

The real tragedy is there's the elements of a genuinely good ending here. Goosey just had to sacrifice it on the altar of gooning to sissy hypno or whatever.
 
I watched the finale on YouTube and still felt cheated. I'm glad I didn't waste money on a movie ticket because that was utter dogshit.

I didn't care how Gooseworx decided to wrap it up. Just make it good instead of a fucking snoozefest.

TTD

During the end sequence it was shown that the abstractions have been put into a darkened aquarium tank where they swim around like giant black rainbow-eye covered whales and are presumably 'at peace'.

the big slug one is colourful now and was hanging with the gang when they were playing baseball so I guess they have the capacity to chill out and stop being niggers. They just don't get their shapes back I guess, which makes sense since their stupid circus bodies weren't their bodies anyway

anyway that ending fucking sucked but I think someone might have mentioned it already
 
I stand on the opinion that writers do naturally insert a bit of themselves in every character they make, especially their main characters, "write what you know" and all of that, but there is a clear difference between that and what Goose and other bad writers tend to do is that they shape the story around themselves instead of the other way around. Jax is written, just like the writer, in a schizo fashion, he is absolutely unpleasant but the plot acts like he is just a "Lovable jerk" when he clearly isnt. The plot is adapting to them instead of the otherway around.
Yeah, putting a bit of yourself into each character is normal. It keeps them relatable and it also keeps the creatives crazy in check.

However, GW is essentially 1 to 1 Jax. Jax is basically autobiographical with a thin fantasy veneer. Jax went through the same phases. Jax came out at trans to his mom at the same time to the same result of her rejecting it. GW admittedly didn't push her hard enough that she fell down, but we can't know if he didn't limply push her before he got sent to the conversion therapy. Jax got to work at McDonald's a bit (although this is mostly put on Gangle). Jax inflates when he holds his breath, one of GW's favorite fetishes. Jax probably crawled back to Mommy to do the conversion therapy and that's why his true and beautiful rebirth has been delayed a few years, but it's probably going to line up with GW's transition time line. Jax behaves like GW in high school. Had some important relationships around the same time that shaped his trajectory, but those ended in a way that left some lingering damage.

I suspect Jax is a window to his inner world and a cry for help streamed to millions. He probably both covets and hates women, which isn't surprising but still weird.

I suspect the broken suicidal self-destructiveness is accurate going by how he interacts with the fans. He doesn't seem like a happy or stable person, which isn't surprising. He looks miserable in basically every picture I see.

Is this really going to be Chimptopia's only legacy?


The third one is a hardcore Glitch stan, of course she would never critisize them.

Because Zooble is happy and in a stable relationship. Goose can't self insert as that so he makes Jax his new self insert
Nah, it plays throughout the "goodbye Jax" montage and the cast have confirmed it

But the song plays through a montage of Jax acting like a normal dude. The show insists that Jax is trans through the choice of song but the visuals don't fit at all. Boys Don't Cry by the Cure would be a way better choice and more fitting song for Jax and his arc.


The lyrics almost fit his and Ribbit's relationship and his regrets perfectly.

[Verse 1]
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much, been too unkind

[Chorus]
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
[Verse 2]
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

[Chorus]
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

[Verse 3]
I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already gone away

[Bridge]
Misjudged your limit
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more, more, more
[Chorus]
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

[Outro]
Boys don't cry
 
Non shit post schizo theory time, Jax and his human counterpart are basically gooseworkx ideal for what he wanted his life to be now that he has transitioned Jax real life counterpart despite not trooning out has gained not only acceptance but has become a minor pillar of his community of friends meanwhile gooseworkx had to troon out to find acceptance.
 
I can't believe this "movie" is just under an hour. Imagine going to a theater for this and by the 50 minute mark you're done. Even with the run time they had I can't help but feel like it was all wasted. I understand the story beats they wanted to go for, and it could have worked if written by someone more competent. Plot points like Jax abstracting was teased for the whole show, and instead we forward so Pomni can slowly wander through his brain. Nothing happens until we get to the Ribbit scene where we're subjected to this mini therapy session that was not necessary, and then Jax decides that he's an asshole now. This is not some lost soul who pushes people away as a defense mechanism. He has no reason to be so abrasive. It all ends with Isn't She Lovely which I guess is just a tranny victory lap or something.

That's Act 1 which feels like a completely separate episode from everything else. Maybe it literally was written as it's own episode and it got strung together as a movie because they wanted to be able to go to premier parties and hang out with celebrities instead of quietly releasing them on Youtube. It takes 30 minutes for us to get nowhere. Jax is still abstracted, we didn't really learn anything we didn't already assume, and it wasn't even that interesting to watch.

Act 2 with Caine at least manages to make the movie visually appealing to watch. It plays around with shapes, colors, and space. It's not groundbreaking but it's enough to keep my attention I guess. Caine has a cry session with himself and has a brief scene where I guess he Googles all of the people who were scanned into the circus.

His redemption arch doesn't really make much sense. I don't understand why he is suddenly so sentimental about everything when that hasn't been his character at all. What is it about nearly being deleted that made him change his perspective? Don't know but he gets rid of the other ai he absorbed. This confused me. Why did he do that? Was the blue ai evil? I thought that was the newer better model. Why didn't Caine give over control to someone who was more capable? How is he supposed to be any less powerful? Where did the other one go? Is it trapped in the void forever? No idea but I guess it doesn't matter because he goes back, everything is normal, all is forgiven The End.

It ends pretty much exactly where I expected it to end, but the journey getting there felt pointless. Where was the conflict? Where's the action? What did we actually accomplish? It doesn't feel like anyone changed, or grew, or struggled. We just sort of walked our way to the end of the story. It wasn't offensively bad like I expected it to be, but it definitely doesn't hold to the same standard as the rest of the show. It feels like too much time was wasted during the season that should have been spent on these plots, and now that they're out of time they have to jump to the end.

I give the ending a "I guess that's it" / 10.
 
Troons own sexism on full display when Goose's 14 year old dickriders get sucked into the "ugu jax is just a girllll, she can't be held responsible for what she did in icky boymode~" you know, where you can be the most reprehensible person, but since you want to cut your dick off, somehow that makes everything you did before ok I guess
 
Just as impactful as Sir Pentious' death in Hazbin Hotel. No one cared for him as much as they pretended they did.

Pentious's "death" was just him being sent to Heaven so its not even a fair comparison.

What they did with Jax isnt clever or vanguard, it is shockingly bad writing to the point I wonder why no one asked at least for another rewrite (or fuck, this IS the rewrite?)

I GET the idea behind it but they were setting something up that had no payoff, or at least not the type of payoff needed to make it satisfying. You are suppose to get a sense of "Wtf?! What just happened?! Why is Jax abstracted? Can this be reversed?" and instead we just get a "How did we get here" without much payoff outside them keeping the abstracted like pets now (which is...oddly fucked up when you think about it. It is like the ending of Shawn of the Dead and not played for absurdist laughs)
