I only saw the first few episodes through Null/Kino Casino and haven't seen the rest of the series.
I thought Jax was an asshole and never understood why people liked him. To be honest, watching the finale only makes it harder for me to understand.
He goes from being an actually nice character who has friends to treating them like absolute garbage for no reason, to the point that they end up committing suicide.
And instead of realizing the error of his ways after the first or second time, he doubles and triples down, continuing to treat the entire cast even worse.
There are no redeeming qualities. He even demonstrates this in how he reacts after other people abstract, he only gets worse and worse.
How is he not the villain of the story?
I genuinely don't understand. I feel like I watched a completely different show from these retards.
Like, if he wasn't such a dick, the entire show wouldn't have gone the way it did. He is literally the reason the story ends up the way it does.
You could honestly just make the story about Caine coming to terms with the fact that these are actual humans and not just toys for him to play with. Basically take his five-minute arc from the finale and make that the focus. That would've been way more interesting.
Hell you can even keep all the other character development as side-story stuff.
This show is overrated as hell but what a waste of talent. The visuals and animation are fantastic, the character designs are good, and whenever Jax isn't on screen there's actually some potential for a decent baby's first I have no mouth and I must scream.
