Jax character is well written in the sense that it makes perfect sense why he did everything that he did, all of his actions are perfectly justified in a narrative sense (and because i know some of you are retarded and don't know what words mean what justified=/=correct, i mean justified by the narrative) but he is still a dogshit character, nothing in his story justifies all the focus and screentime he got, his arc could have been an email.

Just like Pomni. There is no way they will live as lesbians considering most women hate other women. They will most likely fight over who gets to give a better birthday present to Kinger becuase they will develop weird daddy issues with him.

I can agree that if it were up to me I would rather Jax have not been the focus of the show in the finale.
>>
>>153858025
Jax was weak because he felt bad about not stopping Kaufmo before he died, and humans can be abstracted under strong stress, and he is not able to return from abstraction.
Caine was strong because he feels no guilt regarding their abstractions, and even if he does, it won't abstract him, and he can't be erased by console command.
So you need superpower and psychopathic remorselessness to survive.

Jax has only gotten worse around Pomni because she was poking where it hurt, what these threads as a whole doesn't seem to understand and acts as if it was in the right is that kind of behavior did more harm than good, it wasn't the right way to handle it and Ragatha herself was a indicative on how it wouldn't work out.

Pomni peeked in beyond the veil because she was desperate for connection and unfortunately, Jax wasn't ready, it was too much too quick and Hell, even the flashback with Ribbit shows that same end result, except Jax couldn't handle a repeat.
Not every problem is solved by pushing further and further into a person's problem, it can lead to more harm than good.
Jax did need a friend, one that could tag along on his antics and it was up to the other party to slowly guide them away from self-destruction, not insistence on opening up further, because he wasn't ready to break free from his egg.

Jax was weak because he was too scared to ask for help or be his true self long before he abstracted.
Caine is strong for making that change.

I really liked the little detail of Jax knowing how to play piano.
It's something humanising, and an aspirational hobby, which isn't really a luxury that's afforded to them in the circus. It's counter-intuitively creative, which plays to that more endearing side he doesn't nurture. It's something that could have fostered social bonds which he squandered (particularly to Ragatha, who has a piano in her room, and Gangle who also finds a way to indulge in a creative hobby). And as someone who also has deep seated trust issues, I have a lot of random little hobbies and interests that I instinctively hide even from people who've known me for years for literally no reason lol

Pomni pushed too hard in episode 6, but I think afterwards she handled it well. It's just that the plot kept serving up crises to fuck him up.
I wonder how he would have reacted to the episode 7 adventure if he hadn't fought with Pomni in 6.

This, and this very much includes the obnoxious and endless hoard who “know how fuck up and horrible Jax is that’s why we love him!”

With any level of torturous ending and “the show acknowledging his flaws” Jax is just a boring as shit character, he’s just not interesting at all.

It’s like people think what made Tony Soprano, Walter White, or Bojack “iconic” is what horrible people they were, not that they were overall well-written.

Also - just look at the discussion of the finale. Now it almost all has to be about this nothingburger of a shitty rabbit character with a handful of precious yurifags mixed in. Jax never should have had so much screentime.
>>
>Caine, who did did far worse things than Jax, for only 1/10th of the justification, was able to come back, by simply deleting the part of his body that made him bad in a deus ex machina asspull
>Real life Leroy got his shit together under far worse conditions than circus Jax. Jax never had to worry about sleeping, eating, shitting, shelter ever again, and was surrounded by a network of potential friends, whereas Leroy was homeless, and only had one friend reach out to him
>Jax clearly shows signs of regret and even wanting to improve himself over the course of the episodes after 6, even wanting to help the group out to rebuild before abstracting

There's literally zero excuse for Jax to be irredeemable.

Nothing that'd prove he's not a destructive asshole, just something to contradict the idea that he's the irredeemable piece of shit he tries to portray, that'd prove he didn't deserve to die, that there was a way forward if he'd dared to try

Except that pomni did literally nothing wrong.
When jax was having his little we were never friends moment pomni actually took it as a betrayal, almost shot herself over it (even if it was just an adventure game) and attacked him when he said he was joking, when jax the has his incel meltdown about then being his playthings she realizes he is just faking it and worries but she literally didn't try to press him about it literally all she did was give him space while offering occasional words of encouragement and her hand when they thought they could escape in ep 8.
That literally all she did, how did she press too hard? If anything she didn't press hard at all, she literally says she wishes she tried harder right before jax abstracts, when jax walks away she doesn't even wonder what was that about.

A benefit of the circus is she can eat all she wants know without health risk, which she was always bummed about irl!

Yeah if you’re reading this who thing as an asinine self-righteous moral lecture it was no fucking sense, Jax is EXACTLY as much of an inhuman AI as Caine is, in fact an AI with more limited training data and “younger” and Caine has been low to high key torturing everybody for years.

CAINE is the character who has been making everybody kill themselves this whole time.

Mind you, the difference is that Caine is actually an interesting character unlike Jax and a finale about him would be actually interesting. Also, I don’t want to see Caine punished, because that last thing I want from this show is a stupid morality tale.

I think even taking it for granted that adjusting to the circus being your life now and playing along with everyone = a good thing assumes a lot.

Caine's arc isn't unsatisfying because of the bare fact that he was redeemed, it was that it was too easy and it happened anyway. Jax's is the exact inverse. It's frustrating because he suffered so much but the narrative still made him a canine cuck toilet in the end.
>>
>>153858308
The problem is that the message is harmed by basically everything surrounding Jax's abstraction and it ends up making no fucking sense.
If the main takeaway was supposed to be that he was an asshole with zero redeeming qualities who deserved to abstract, then it rings hollow since you have Caine, a flaming narcissist who psychologically and physically tortured everyone over hurt feelings, show up and become friends with everyone like nothing ever happened.
If the main takeaway was that he was a cautionary tale about how you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved, then fine. But his human self got his shit together when a friend reached out to him and as far as we can tell he's a good guy and a productive member of society which means that this cautionary tale doesn't work because bunny Jax should have been capable of the same thing.
Hell, if the main takeaway is that he has bad gender dysphoria and his issues would have been fixed if he was able to freely be the girl he is inside, it doesn't work either because he's still a dude in the real world and is doing just fine.
He works fine if you view him as a troubled guy who becomes worse in a high stress environment that brings out the worst in him since it shows the inherent horror of being trapped in the Digital Circus, but in that case he should have just abstracted in episode 7 since he was on the edge of doing so to begin with.

His death is not well written at all, nor was his character handled well.

Because he didn’t have his Ribbit moment and therefore was not as entrenched in his trauma/identity issues. It works because as Pomni says directly to the camera, they are not their brain donors, they are their own people. Jax had potential if he made the right choice like Leroy but he didn’t.
His death was incredibly set up, consistent and thematically on point. Of all the reasons to complain about the finale how it handled Jax specifically is not it.

Yeah and again the way Jax treated Ribbit was shitty and vile but how the fuck sheltered and young do you have to be if that’s the worst thing that someone can do? I don’t even keep track of people being that mild level of asshole to others and myself not because it’s okay but because it sadly happens and way worse all the fucking time.

Caine’s position of power makes that scenario way more accurate to experiencing actual NPD narcissist abuse, with the psychological and physical torture and no option to just walk away.

>>
>>153858241
>Except that pomni did literally nothing wrong.
She literally did, just because it seems "right" to you, doesn't mean it's the "right" option for Jax. Someone with trauma has to be handled differently like a surgery, not YOLO BALLS TO THE WALL LET'S TALK BESTIE YAY.
>When jax was having his little we were never friends moment pomni actually took it as a betrayal, almost shot herself over it
Because it was a parallel to Ribbit and Jax, in the best of his current ability, tried to fix it the way he could which really isn't that great either. A person drowning isn't the best at saving another one. Which is what led to the fighting and fallout.
>when jax the has his incel meltdown about then being his playthings she realizes he is just faking it and worries but she literally didn't try to press him about it literally all she did was give him space while offering occasional words of encouragement and her hand when they thought they could escape in ep 8.
Which loops back to the pushing too far part, she should just have backed off and given him space, her own perception and stubbornness like Gooseworx tried to convey is what contributed to his demise, like I said before it did more harm than good.
He's traumatized over being homeless, thinking her hurt his bitch of a mom, burdened by insecurities surrounding masculinity and vulnerability, for fucks sake. I've handled trauma, and trauma isn't solved by sheer insistence, it's knowing when to give space and when to help when you allow them to but no, armchair psychologists of /tadc/ are hellbent on saying "BuT hE bRoUgHt It UpOn HiMsElF tHO??" while completely discarding trauma as something minor and inconsequential. That's not how it works, at all.
Trauma is a massive fucking bitch of a weight that will always drag you down and your best hope is psychological help.

Except Leroy was in a far worse situation than Circus Jax was. He was completely homeless, friendless, and alone, constantly worrying about eating, sleeping, shelter, etc, stuff that he never had to worry about in the circus. In the circus, Jax had an entire network of potential friends and people that were actively supporting him through the last three episodes. Leroy only had one friend reach out to him and offer him help. Comparing the two's situations, it makes absolutely zero sense that circus Jax ended up worse than his real life counterpart.

"Themes and such" isn't an excuse. If the main point was that, then they should have had him abstract way earlier.

The bottom line is that most people that dealt with Jax were unprepared to handle him, and, comically enough, the one that could was deemed cuckoo by Jax and disregarded.

Yeah and honestly one common but a therapy wisdom is that suicides are complex, there’s usually not any one thing that makes a person kill themselves and the idea that the moral takeaway here is supposed to be that Jax “murdered” Ribbit and Kaufmo and that having a fight with a loved one who commits suicide is fucking crazy, holy shit. That’s an insane line of thinking that a therapist will immediately dismantle with survivors. If that (and also that Jax SHOULD) have killed himself like 4chan has decided is really the whole point of the series, how insanely irresponsible and toxic is TADC?

All of the characters in that environment eventually committed suicide though, except for Kinger who went totally insane.

This wasn’t a happy supportive environment where everyone was perfectly happy and healthy and then Jax introduced sadness for the very first time into the circus and episode 8 and the end of this finale make no sense with that take.

Anyway, I think Jax IS an irredeemable asshole because he sucks and has no positive qualities, and he was a massive dick to Ribbit and everybody, but “he MURDERED Ribbit and Kaufmo!!!” is a completely retarded take. If being trapped in the circus had nothing to do with their suicides and it was ALL just Jax, why have it be part of the story that EVERYONE in the circus eventually kills themselves?

It could be fine (although not as good imo because I'm a Christian who always prefers redemption) if Jax had terminal consequences, but you would need to

1. Not have him crying and begging at the end, have him stubbornly refuse even up to the point Pomni is hugging him so it feels more justified
2. Don't have the Isn't She Lovely tiktok edit and take his death more seriously without the clunky gear shift toward everything being okay

As a Christian do you believe that the man who doesn’t seek redemption will, barring a miracle of God, surely be damned to hell, something you lament but can’t return from? Because TADC follows that system.

She already has a pretty passive personality. The way she holds herself especially shows she doesn't have confidence and if you forced herself on her and she didn't have someone who has already claimed her, she'd have no real will to express any discontent.
You could even get her to give "consent" if you wanted pretty easily by egging her on with comments "Are you gonna stop me?" which she definitely could only respond to with a "No.

I can't get over how fucked it is for a trans person to dedicate an entire cartoon series to torturing (sometimes erotically) and eventually killing the teen pre-transition version of themself. It's spiritually sickening.

I don’t think I’d get from just watching this that Jax’s suicide is good or just desserts or that disabled and/or trans people should all kill themselves or something, but the internet has sure decided that’s what the show is about AND Goose has had this bizarre self hating flagellation thing going with Jax’s character for a long time, so maybe it is?

If I just watched the show with no discourse I would just think Jax’s death was meant to be sad and the finale would be pretty good.

In my view of Hell I'm torn between annihilationism and universal reconciliation, but in either case if a person is conscious then they're capable of repenting. Jax was and did. That doesn't mean he wouldn't have to go through some very painful process to atone, and in fact he should for it to be narratively satisfying. But he should have the chance.

I get the impression that if Goose had handled Jax's ending in any way except the worst of all possible worlds, then yes, most of the criticism of the ending would be much lighter or more autistic and just focus on unanswered questions. I myself wish a few more things had been addressed (Scratch's abstraction, Jax holding his breath) but those don't ruin the finale for me the way Jax's shit did.

>>
>>153858856

I think if Jax sacrificed himself to save the circus or something, at least his death would be plot relevant? Instead the end of the story is all just about Jax unrelatedly killing himself because of some backstory shit that were also only finding out now and also that only really connects to his own shit.

Either it’s a weird unrelated diversion or “wait I guess Jax WAS the story this whole time.”

Nope. I was prepared for him getting a "aw shucks we forgive you pal" ending including Ribbit somehow transcending abstractions to kiss his ass one last time because I'm just so used to it from a lot of media ending in similar ways these days, but I was also anticipating him getting a little bitchboy ending and I'm glad it turned out to be the latter. After shit like Encanto and SU I'm glad Goose had the balls (LOL) to say hey sometimes it's too late for you to come back and you did that to yourself.

never said that. I said that Ribbit was happy before Jax pushed her away, which she was.
>If being trapped in the circus had nothing to do with their suicides and it was ALL just Jax, why have it be part of the story that EVERYONE in the circus eventually kills themselves?
again, you're putting words in my mouth. is being trapped in the circus a factor? absolutely. but it's clear that surviving in the circus with your sanity intact IS possible, as proved by Ragatha. if NOTHING else, Jax significantly accelerated Ribbit's abstraction. at worst, Ribbit would've survived to the finale if not for Jax. but the bottom line is he's directly responsible for her dying before she would have otherwise.

It seems completely implausible to me that a single child would see a version of the movie where Jax is saved at the end, then eventually kill themselves, who wouldn't have done so if they'd seen the real version.

Jax's end is fitting, get over it. he's a tragic character, not a hero, anti-hero, or even a villain, his whole being is just sad. and while that makes you feel for him because he always seemed like he was on the cusp of change, he never fully committed. it was too little, too late, simple as that.

Yes Jax was so weak he couldn't possibly be expected to apologise or stop bullying everyone around him. Meanwhile Caine was so remorseless and guilt free when he realised the consequences of his actions he apologised for what he did and did what he could to make ammends.

The one-minute-long hug was fucking weird, sorry , and that’s coming from someone who ships Ragapom.

“You are the best thing that has happened to me”? No the fuck it wasn’t, that was Kinger. Without the conversation in Episode 6, Raggy would still be spiraling over Pomni.

With Kinger, Pomni had that beautiful moment in Episode 3. With Jax, they had a whole-ass chapter and the Daisy Bell duet.

With Raggy, uuuuh the beach moment, I guess.

God, I’m so pissed their conversation happened off-screen.

I really wanted to see, idk, Raggy talking about her horses with Pomni, trading stories while vibing on the sofa or something bruh.

For a character-driven series, we sure as hell lacked interactions. How many times have Zooble and Pomni even exchanged words again?

And I think it would be more powerful and effective if, when he finally decided to accept help, it had led to a better outcome for him. Showing that in an uplifting way would be much more effective to help someone's spirit who's in that situation.

Call her a Karen and she'll be WOUNDED though. She'll totally want to cry and pout.

Minus the "worst fear" trauma, Caine didn't do anything that Jax hadn't been up to over years.

The point isn't that Jax is irredeemable, it's that he was in denial that he could change and so he refused to try.

Honestly where I'm arriving at but replace cautionary tale with "morality tale."

The narrative has quickly become about how TADC is about how suicide is good because it's all about an evil person being successfully punished with suicide. That's a super gross moral AND the actual show plays this all off as a sad and tragic scene instead of a positive and triumphant moment AND Caine comes right back and is forgiven right away so as a "justice against the wicked" story self righteously glorifying suicide it's a piece of shit. 4chan has decided it is. But I'm not sure it's supposed to be.

As a sad story or tragedy instead it's all suddenly fine.

None of the others were in Jax's situation. They had their own neuroses but they were relatively easy to get past (with Caine's being too easy).

Every character was asked to give the same effort and decide to improve and communicate and live. Jax does not have an excuse, he ran away and paid the real price for doing so. It doesn’t add anything to do the same thing again, only bigger. His failure contrasts very well against the rest and the uncomfortability it leaves the audience forces them to come to terms with its themes seriously instead of comfortably exiting and treating it like a steven universe saved the day special.

>Jax is EXACTLY as much of an inhuman AI as Caine is, in fact an AI with more limited training data and “younger”
It's an interesting idea but the show definitely treats the casts life experience in the real world before abstraction as their past. Caine's remorse stems from getting to see what they where actually missing out there.

Also if you still look at it that way, then the casts training data is way more expansive than the AI created in world.

>CAINE is the character who has been making everybody kill themselves this whole time
Under that lens, Caine is the reason they lived at all. Or you could argue it was irl Kinger and Scratch's fault.

>With Jax, they had a whole-ass chapter and the Daisy Bell duet.
Which Jax refused to take seriously and then proceeded to push Pomni away. It's like you missed that whole lesson.

And Ragatha and Pomni has been much more of a slow burn. Their development might not always have been in the foreground, but it's literally the ONLY character dynamic that's been developed since the very first episode. There was an initial awkwardness in 1 and 2, a platonic show of appreciation in 3, seeds of doubt sewn in both Ragatha and Pomni's minds in 4, the blow up in 5, Ragatha's lowest point in 6 and the reconciliation at the end (I'll concede that the talk between them should have been on screen), the beginning of hanging out more together in 7, which continued to the beginning of 8, all culminating in the ultimate show of Pomni's appreciation for her in 9.

Could we have gotten a little more? Sure, but there's a complete story here, and in a moment as unsure as the one they were in, a hug was more than appropriate and was just the kind of catharsis Ragatha needed to not completely fall apart again after Jax's abstraction.

It's honestly really well done, even if most of the finale falls flat.

Jax was in a mental situation because of his background where it was much harder for him. That's not an excuse, because an excuse implies his actions are okay, but it is a reason that him being redeemed would be more powerful, because it shows that ANYONE can get out no matter how deep they're in. That is what some people who are alienated and suicidal need to hear, not that suicide is really bad and you might regret it at the last moment, because that's obvious.

Caine didn't ignore them, he just had no frame of reference to understand what they where saying. It wasn't untill he learned about their lives outside that he could start understanding them.
The actual unsatisfactory part was that he learned it from the internet rather than from them. It doesn't retroactively shine a light on path to how he could have achieved enlightenment without being sent to the void, even though you'd think realising he could have asked them about it the entire time would have been the easy answer.

People aren't shocked by the consequences, they're unhappy with what happened. If you told any of the people upset with the ending "hey, did you know that you can't come back if you kill yourself, and sometimes people regret killing themselves if they die?" none of them would be like what? No way! That can't be true!

It's an absolute strawman.

The path Goose chose is not more "real." Both things can in fact happen in real life. People can be brought back from the brink and people can regret a destructive path they took when it's too late. It's also not automatically a virtue for art to be challenging or confrontational. That's "comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable" type bullshit. It also doesn't matter if it's been done often before. Everything has been done before. Subverting tropes that are effective for a reason so you can get midwit applause is ALSO a dime a dozen in 2026.

It is not other peoples responsibility to force you to open up and talk about your problems. Pomni put in more than enough effort to try and help him and he dod comparatively little to help himself.

Letting go of the blue ai was a metaphor for letting go of trying to be the perfect ai that would be accepted and be untouchable in favour of accepting his weaknesses and vulnerability.

He was "rough-around the edges" and imperfect as an AI that gave dedesired results, not as a person.

He lobotomized himself because he didnt see a point continuing on in that form. He guessed the truth, found out he was right, and couldnt cope with it.

Fun fact: real life is also a digital circus. Full of meaninglessness, pointless suffering, horror and occasionally something good, and often full of repitition and boring mundane shit. Plenty of people cant handle life for what it is without going insane or playing pretend that a better afterlife or utopia awaits. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for a reason and it can happen to anyone who gives in to the meaninglessness.

Transitioning often involves a mental killing of the old identity. Its why there is the idea of "dead names" and so forth.

Or to put it another way that might seem more familiar. Born again christians and similar cult followera do the same thing. They metaphorically "kill" their old non-believer self so that they can be "born again" into good little true believers.
