The finale was great. I really wasn't expecting much, I was blown away. Gonna rewatch it tomorrow because that was pretty heavy

>>221244533
no
they managed to invoke emotions by killing the main character, but it was unearned and negative. Negative emotions are powerful, but not hard to invoke

Jax surviving and becoming a better person would have been better

>>221244533
Does this series hold any value for non trannies

>>221245287
If you like fapping to clown porn maybe, otherwise no, its basic therapy speech show with a self hating tranny subtext

>>221245287
Children seem to like it but the subtext might fly over their heads, they're probably only in it for the wacky characters and animation

>they don't save Jax (even though they can reach him AND clearly get him out

Also why did they show Scratch get loaded back in from the mindscan folder, but never showed him back in the real world?

>>221244619
He turns invisible. That's why he could get into everyone's room and had all those keys. Also why he kept it a secret from all of them.

>>221245287
There isn't anything tranny in the show. It resonated with me very well.

>>221245370
the scene with Scratch was a bit confusing but what it was showing was a parallel flashback scene, Scratch appearing wasn't him returning, but it was showing the first time he arrived at the circus, the red circle grows limbs and reaches the mindscan folder and manifests the circus and Scratch himself, it is showing the birth of the circus Caine's AI is creating the circus, at the same time we have the 3D animated scenes of Caine building a bridge and breaking the barriers to the wifi connection, this is happening in the present, it's poorly communicated but he is using what he learned in the creation of the circus to go "beyond" the void and access the wifi connection that allows him to look up what is going on with the main cast irl

I just watched the last. I'm not sure what to think. Not sure why I cried. All i know is that my wife is pissed and I'm sleeping on the couch again. Cunt.

>>221244533
I didn't want to believe the tranny shit people were talking about honestly, it took me out of it but the rest was fine.

>>221245309
Because of the self-hating tranny subtext I think social conservatives would like it since half of them are repressed fags or trannies already

So they were never actually trapped, they were just neural scans of real people who wore the VR headset or something? And what was the deal with Caine's origin story of a circle absorbing another circle and that orb he pulled out of his head? marge

>>221245822
So is talking about the finale banned on the sharty?

>>221245780
>Not sure why I cried
They got me with the real names. I didn't think they could but they got me

>>221245822
the plot/setting isn't really well-realized, the tranny author ripped off harlan ellison who is currently too deceased to mount a lawsuit

>>221245822
the circle absorbing another circle was the birth of Caine, it's not really explained what exactly the blue circle was but after he removes it when he gets back to the Circus he says he doesn't have as much power as he used to, so maybe the blue circle being thrown away was something like him removing his admin privileges, he can create things but he can't have direct control over the people in the circus (like how he tortured them all in episode 8)

Evangelion actually has nuanced writing that is backed by research on psychology and a genuine interest in other people.

TADC is a bunch of crying scenes that Gooseworx imagined in their head like a 6 year old boy imagines stick fights and then worked backwards to make context for it.

>>221245970
I think what sets Eva apart is that it is made from genuine, honest self-introspection and self-criticism. Modern day therapy speech crowd isn't capable of that.

>>221245370
If they saved Jax then the creator couldn't live out the narcissistic fantasy of a bunch of characters crying over their self insert being dead.

>>221245848
I think it's been said, but it was a positive parody of that extremely disturbing book. That shit haunts me. Good christ, imagine the emotional pain. I ain't sleeping tonight guys. Imagine to eternity of suffering. Gah.

Tranny goes to therapy and cries: the show

>>221246164
>positive parody

it was a ripoff that inverted all the dark themes into a millennial therapyslop. harlan's ghost spins with rage.

I did like the ending, Jax abstracting being thrown there, with no buildup had a crazy impact. I did not like however how they don't manage to bring him (and every other abstraction) back, and jesus how did they manage to get a different minority for every single of their real personas? Even Kingler, the only white guy, had to have a race mixing family
Pretty kino how they all got on the bus together at the end though

>>221246215
I get it. Cheap gimmicky show taking on the absolute horror of i Can't Scream by a bunch of amateurs. But honestly, I needed that. That book was far too evil for even me. I just hope. Fuck, I need something, anything.

>>221246301
and this is why millennials are considered retarded man children

>>221245462

The people who work at Glitch cannot make stories. They can make a series of things happening, which is good if you want clippable/memeable hype moments or "deep" moments to drive clicks, but the events do not build on each other in an interesting or satisfying way. There's always some big plot element introduced which might interest you, until you realize it's not here as a concept to be explored but instead a plot device to allow for whatever contrivance the hack writers need. For Murder Drones, this was the "Absolute Solver"; for TADC, it's the Circus itself (which is just treated like fucking magic for all intents and purposes, somehow this abandoned office building supplying the simulation still has power, and some gaming companies cracked mind uploads and sapient AIs); for Gameoverse, it's the conceit that "The worlds are all video games, brooo, we don't need to explain anything."
I'm not going to make fun of kids for liking this slop, since kids liking dumb cartoons is as old as the medium itself, but it's absolutely hilarious to see adults still falling for it.

>>221246349
You're either a massive retard or this is just bait. He internally wanted to be a tranny, that's what the argument was about, the bow, the maid outfit, etc. You think they did all that for no reason? Fuck's sake.

>>221246451
going with your logic it doesn't explicitly point to trans, he could be a cross dresser

>>221245822
>neural scans of real people who wore the VR headset
not even that, Caine just made them from scanning social media

>>221246406
That's great. I haven't been to Italy yet. Got as far as Andorra. But that's it. Hope you have a good night, it's gotta be 2 in the morning there. And I stay by my line. The ending was esoterically tragic and it hurts my soul. I wish you well.

>>221246480
thats not what happened, you misinterpreted the scene

>>221246467
Gooseworx is a tranny and Jax is clearly the self-insert. No other character in the show got as much of a focused story arc, it becomes obvious when you look at it that way.

>>221246425
I think you find yoursrlf to be very intelligent. You are fucking not. You can't even write. You sound like AI shit. Hey, there's a turtle on its back, what do you do?

Every time this shit is compared to I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, it pisses me the fuck off.
Pic related is page THREE of No Mouth. By page 3 we already learn that crying had lost all meaning nearly 30 years ago for these people, and this little factoid is nothing more than a passing comment in a tirade that the narrator goes on about how the female of the group loves getting dick from an ape.
Yes, that's how much her character and very being has been reduced to vile muck by the circumstances.

In the span of 9 episodes, TADC wasn't able to match even a teensy weensy bit of the filth that was stirring around in Harlan Ellison's mind when he was clacking away at the typewriter that night.
TADC is the KidsBop version of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

>>221246520
Why in the fuck are you people so obsessed with trannys? Fuck sake man, they're so rare they don't even exist. Go on and suck that cock boy. That's what this is all about isn't it? Your cock hunger? Yea? Need a stiff Nigerian in the poppet again?

>>221244533
i didn't hate it, but i can't help thinking it was kind of bad? like it just felt like two separate episodes. the jax stuff felt self-contained and basically irrelevant to the series resolution. and what was the resolution? basically that caine isn't actually deleted for some reason and then decides to not be evil any more for some reason and they all live happily ever after?

jax's whole character feels like it's missing something as well, like something. like i feel like they needed more between him and pomni besides the gun episode for me to really buy that they had enough of a relationship to justify him being given so much importance in the finale. i definitely get the schizo who get bent out of shape about jax being suddenly one of the main characters halfway through the series, it really really doesn't not come off like they're setting him up for that in the first couple episodes. even if gooseworks says it was planned that way in the beginning i will not believe her

also i thought for sure zooble was supposed to be the main character, if i didn't know the creator was trans (and therefore more likely to center the story on that) i would have thought it was very very random to take jax's story in that direction in the finale when zooble's body dysmorphia stuff seemed like the more obvious setup

>>221246611
>Every time this shit is compared to I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, it pisses me the fuck off.
>TADC is the KidsBop version of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

You literally compare the two in your last sentence, moron.

>>221246666
You're missing the nuance of the topic.
The issue is in people pretending like they stand shoulder to shoulder in terms of writing quality and in the amount of horror they show.

>>221246706
They still have similar elements so comparing them isn't some egregious stretch. Also Ellison's writing is pretty shitty too.

>>221246611
You are contradicting yourself sir. Re-read that and come back. You sound like you may have actually read that, but you're coming off like an illiterate faggot. I dare ask if this could be considered a positive outcome of such misfortune. How do you respond?

>>221246739
I know the intent behind TADC was to be an inspiration, I understand that part. Everyone does.
It doesn't stop it from being an insulting comparison.
They also homage End of Evangelion with one of the last episode posters. That too is insulting.

Never seen the show but Evangelion is just hedgehogs dilemma. And literally nothing else.

>>221246611
>that the narrator goes on about how the female of the group loves getting dick from an ape.

i don't think theres a direct correlation to a character having a focus and being a self insert, thats quite a bleak outlook on creativity to have

it's a G rated ripoff (except for the random off screen sex). you have no idea how harlan would have reacted: glitch would have been sued into bankruptcy.

Bleak outlook or not it's what you tend to find in like 90% of all indieshit with amateurish writing.

>>221246820
The problem is people thinking they're equeals and insinuating it so casually.
Imagine you're a fan of anime, let's say your favorites are Kino's Journey and Okohama Kaidashi Kikou, and then some fucko starts talking to you about Kappa Mikey as if it belongs in that conversation.

samefag

>>221246967
>single decent idea

>>221244864
Even if that was true, the reason he abstracted was because he was too busy masking his complicated feelings behind a facade of being a "manly man" and pushed the people he cared about away from them until they suffered (which worsened his pain that he continued to hide behind "jokes").

A very 4chan experience, imo.

>>221245209
he's not dead. cain implied that he could fix jax and even if the "fix" was just throwing him into the abyss pomni said no.

>>221245470
The cain bit at the end felt out of place and unearned. if this shit hadn't been a movie it'd be its own episode.

I could buy into Jax's first 4 or 5 rejections of Ribbit.
After that, it just got progressively harder to believe in, and started to feel contrived.
I have known multiple helplessly self destructive people and yeah they do this, but the degree to which Jax took it really just felt like I was seeing the hand of the writer too clearly as its trying really hard to stirr up drama.
Got to a point where it didn't feel natural at all.

>You're just someone's brain scan and stuck in a computer for eternity
Sounds kinda shit desu that sucks ass

felt like they were trying too hard to tie everything up in a nice bow at the end

Undeserved.

They could have cut down the show to 3 episodes since the rest was filler anyway

They should've never shook Cooper Goodwin's hand or let him make this filth in the first place.

>baby's first evangelion
Evangelion isn't even that tough to digest.
Your "baby's first evangelion" should just be Evangelion. It's good. Give it a watch.

>>221247327
nah, 9 episodes was perfect, the fan vote for favourite character episode and the fakeout with Abel episode were fun, the episodes that were mostly them on adventures were also fun, thank God you're not in charge of editing anything, 3 episodes man? jesus

>Caine asspulls back to reality

So tell me why can they not just fix the abstraction or even bring backups of the people that were abstracted and push in the memories for them??? Literally anything is fucking possible and the rogue sentient now human and internet connected AI never FUCKING tried it???

>>221247364
>9 episodes was perfect
9 too many.

>>221247368
Castration cultists are not talented creators. Nothing of value would be lost if they lost their right to produce media for an audience and were committed en masse and given involuntary conversion therapy. Much of value would be gained, in fact.

>>221247368
idk, even being able to "go inside" the abstraction was an asspull. there's no rules, it's just made up, and apparently it's some hard rule that abstraction is permanent. i know they're saying now that the show is done, but if the creators come back to it in a few years, that seems like a decent direction they're set up to look into for a potential season 2

>>221247435
>if the creators come back to it in a few years
Hopefully, Cooper Goodwin will have been committed and Circus Shit will be purged from every corner of the internet by then.

>So tell me why can they not just fix the abstraction
cain literally fixes scratch, who was the first abstraction, in the episode. you don't see him again with the others but cain restores the backup.

>>221247424
seethe more

>>221247485
no he doesn't, that was a flashback of Caine creating the circus, Scratch was the first member to be created from a brain scan, during that scene you are seeing two things happening at the same time

1) flashback scene - the red dot representing Caine going beyond the void by growling limbs and accessing the brain scan folder, he uses a brain scan to create Scratch, who then appears in the circus

2) present time - Caine breaking through the barriers at the edge of the void again to access a wifi connection that allowed him to check up on what is going on with the main cast irl

You all make a lot of good points. But the one thing I can't get, try as i might, heh, is why wasn't there a circumcision scene? And why wasn't Pomni brutally raped? Seems so odd to leave this stuff to the imagination.

>>221247601
further proof for my earlier assessment that the movie should have just been two episodes where the cain stuff could have been properly explored since when he shows up the narrative goes off the rails for brainlets like me

>>221247533
I will, for as long as the West is under the progressive illness that allows ghouls like Cooper Goodwin to gain and retain an audience, especially of children as he intended.

>>221247693
You will die alone and angry. That's not an insult by the way. It's the truth.

>>221246611
shit like this is why i never trust opinions on /tv/, and in many cases, trust the opposite. Is this a psyop or just retardation?

Hopefully, I'll die after a Leader with true will comes along to cross the Rubicon and erase much of the damage the progressive illness caused over the last 250 years.
>>221246611
>[Circus Shit] is the KidsBop version of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.
Which is reprehensible, since castration cultists should never be allowed to make media in general, especially media for children.

>>221247836
You'll die disappointed, I fear.

I mean, this isn't even wrong.

As someone who had a friend off themselves in their teens, this finale struck me hard. Brought back some rough memories, but seeing how the creator handled the topic made me feel right. Like it handled the emotional weight of willing to sacrifice yourself to save someone you love. And that ending just makes you sit with it.

I'm so happy there are still western-style animated series worth watching.
