>zooble
>>152903213Yeah, we all thought the same thing.
>why was Gummigoo there as a trauma???
>>152903308How'd she get the picture?
>>152903095This show is highly satanic because it was made by a trannysexualised and THEY KILL GOD
>>152903095I assume jax might know something, also really they all are retarded. Pomni only been around a month max compared to everyone else being around years and she already ruined Caine and public relations as caine said
>Scratch’s form in the circus is a labrador>Scratch also has cancerOh Caine you silly little guy
>>152903333Caine isn’t God.
last episode prediction
Wasn't all the Abstractions supposed to be bellow this floor?It's all just white and none of darkness and the multi color eyes
>>152903654The cellar is something Caine built, it stands to reason its a giant room under the floors. We just don't know what happened to it yet.
>>152903686Now that Caine is gone, there is nothing that holds the Abstractions back from escaping the cellarUnless Caine being deleted also deleted all the mind editing that Caine did to them and reverting them back to normal
>>152903765That thought had crossed my mind, but I don't think goose would go that route. It feels like it'd be hard to fill an hour of time if the episode starts off with the OG cast unabstracted.
>>152903320She made it up
>>152903686I thought the cellar was just below the floor
Our hero
>>152903686>something Caine...wouldn't that imply that Gummigoo, Orbsman, Disappearing guy and so on also are deleted?
>>152903864soul vs soulless
Ragatha's hooves...
>>152903849Yes, but the cellar itself has a floor, and presumably, walls. I'd have to check the pilot but I don't remember the cellar being portrayed as particularly deep. Either way, it's likely the ceiling and maybe even the floor of the cellar were compromised. So the abstractions have the ability to escape, or they'll just fall into the void.On that note, I believe the void will play a huge role in the next episode.
>>152903865That depends on of the NPCs are stored as separate files or wothin Caine's program itself. Right now, we don't know, though the fucked up circus at the end implies most of the circus's entities are stored within Caine.
>>152903865All NPCs would be deleted since they were all made by Caine
>>152903924Just because they're made by Caine doesn't mean they can't be separate files. Caine himself says that running too many NPCs constantly would be dangerous (lack of processing power to run all the files at once for an extended period)
>>152903350not really her fault, Caine's the one who instigated the stupid exit adventure
NO KINGER REMEMBER MILDENHALL MANOR
>the sharty tries to turn /pol/ against TADC>even /pol/ wont side with themToday has been funny
>>152904097Qrd? Who is sharty? What did he do in pol?
In theory there's nothing stopping you from transferring Pomni to a hard drive and freeing her from the circus that way.
anyone find out what the super secret pomni variant was?
>>152904123unicorn pomni
If bubble still around then caine can be brought back through bubble since they share assets (applying cartoon logic here, i know assets don't carry code)
>>152904097Elaborate. What did those söyjak-loving rapscallions try to do?
>The implication that ragatha mother stabbed her in the eye.
>>152904097link
>>152904112>The Shartyit's a long story
There's this cope that Jax comment about pomni and zooble was just him trying to stir up conflict for fun but his attitude was specially hostile in this scene, i think he genuinely blames pomni which would fit his character since he isn't capable of taking accountability.
>>152904154wtf is this tweet even saying? She stabbed her phone after?
>>152904123And this super rare golden one, only 100 exist.
>>152904123It turned out to be this incredible specimen.
>>152904198Well, it's possible.
>>152904154What did she meant by that??
>>152903211Oh no, not the piscine headwear!
>Caine doesn't know how to make them happy>However, he is very aware of their fears and insecurities to the point that he can give them personalized torture experiences
I've noticed it happen in enough threads by now that I have to say it>"hyuck I don't know shit about this show, I apparently don't know how to Google things and figure out it's free on YouTube so I'm gonna ask the digital circus general if they think it's any good XD"Dumbasses
If they really are brain scans of real people I hope their original selves were able to lead happy lives.>Kinger & Queenie are probably grandparents (Kinger would be 78 by now!)>Ragatha was able to fully get away from her mom and has a family of her own>maybe Gangle didn't become a famous webcomic artist but she went back to college and got a job in the industry>Zooble learned to like her bodyPomni's only been in the Circus for a few weeks so I guess her original self is still leading a "boring" life, but maybe she finally connects with other urbex people. Jax can die IDC. Also the real Scratch probably did die from his tumor.
>>152904194Probably that the phone fell on her face.
Fyi the gummy cuck isn't even a fan of the show. He admitted a few months ago that he trolls multiple generals for fun. He really is just a loser.
>>152903308I've seen a lot of people shit on Pomni for caring so much about Gummigoo, yet they also feel bad for and sympathize with Caine, another AI.Why is that?
>>152904189I'm more interested in what he does next
>>152904249>Pomni's only been in the Circus for a few weeks so I guess her original self is still leading a "boring" life, but maybe she finally connects with other urbex people.Forgot this show takes place in 2017 so yeah I hope Pomni connected with more people and was able to get a more satisfying job.
>>152904237Maybe Caine just has a lot more data of their suffering rather than them actually enjoying their time in his Circus.
>>152904265Panicking because he thought it was a dream all along?
>>152904189Two things can be true, he was clearly trying to start shit judging by his disappointment at their lack of reaction, but it's also probably true that he feels like Zooble and Pomni "ruined" the circus for caring so much.
>series finale will be 1 hour longHow about they screen it in select theatres?
Did anyone notice when Bubble says "I'M HAVING a boiby...." a smaller bubble flies out of him and spirals around a few times? He literally had a baby.
>>152904249The only issue here is that Kinger and the other C&A employees either don't know or don't care that AI replicates of themselves are being tortured.If they don't care, it's a little fucked.If they don't know, that implies this project was a failure but it's up and running still for some reason.
>>152904249"I'm so sorry I roped you into this with me" - Kinger Now why would he say that if he wasn't real?
>>152904237>Caine doesn't know how to make them happyHe actually knows and CAN make them happy. But he prioritizes his ego being satisfied. Look at how everyone was content with the Stargazing adventure but he instantly scrapped it because it wasn't his own original idea.
>i shouldn't have antagonize him so much im sorry Dumb bitch.
>scratch has a brain tumor and has abstract ideas>brain gets scanned>abstractsIf the scan copied his tumor, could the tumor have become Bubble?
>>152904123The GOAT obviously
>>152904293Im not going to a theatre to watch tadc with tadc fans.
>>152904317I still think Bubble is like, what remains of the blue circle that Caine absorbed.
>>152904299Why wouldn't he?
>>152904322Kek, did you draw this?
>>152904301>I wouldn't push it>Kept pushing it every episode Im surprised there wasn't more zooble ryona.

>>152904334No I leaked it directly from glitch headquarters you’re welcome (yes)
>Kaufmo>Queenie>Gummigoo>RibbitRank the "haunting the narrative" gang.
>>152904299Because he thinks he's real? Also why would C&A just leave their stuff lying around for people to find after several of their employee just disappear one day.
I think it would have been 1000x times cooler if during the torture scene, characters showed more resilience to it and showed that they weren't bothered as much by Caine's attempts at exploiting their weaknesses.The fact that they're still as affected as they are, means that they've had basically no character development. It doesn't feel congruent with all the events that have happened to develop them.Pomni being being more resilient to her friends leaving her based on her and Jax reconnecting a bit after episode 7.Ragatha having the talk with Pomni after the awards ceremonyGangle becoming more confident in herself after the fast food episode and her relationship with Zooble.Zooble's showing in episode 6 AND 7 where she talks about feeling more comfortable in her own body.Jax finally being able to drop his mask and open a little to be more accepting of the people that care about him.All of this is directly shown in the show, yet they're still as affected by this as if it was episode 1.
>>152904367Queenie > Kaufmo = Ribbit >>> Gummigoo

>>152904479TS4 made a billion
Hey there, Digital Circus fans! It's Bubble here with some Digital Fun Facts! Did you know: Caine's final moments were filled with hate and pain when he realized nobody ever loved him? It's true! and he even got to feel overwhelming fear and regret as he felt himself being deleted! LOL! stay tuned for more fun facts from Bubble's Digital Circus!
>Ragatha finally introduces you to her family
>>152904367Queenie > Gummigoo > Ribbit > KaufmoI wish Kaufmo was more relevant.
>>152904518TADC finale will make morbillion dollars
best girl coming through
>>152904367Anyone putting gummigoo at the bottom is a delusional funnybunny shiplet
>>152904525Thank you Bubble for this informative report.
>>152903849It depends, it may not be connected in the sense that if you blasted through the floor you'd open a door to it and all Caine does is open a portal to a realm that's like one of his adventures. It's a digital realm, once portals get involved the destination could be anywhere, heck time may even freeze for the abstractions in there the instant the portal closes, why leave them to run if they're not even usable anymore?
>>152904407I'm 28, a teacher, and keep a few pieces of TADC merchandise in my classroom. Students love it.
>>152904367>>152904424Oh I'm an idiot and thought you were asking to rank them by how much they haunt the narrative lol. In that case Queenie > Gummigoo > Ribbit (I'm annoyed that they're dragging her out like this) > Kaufmo
>>152904540You just pasted images onto a drawing like a youtube poop.
>>152904551what grade
>>152904470>toy storytired millennial legacy franchise that nobody cares about anymore>tadcNew hot shit that gets millions of zoomoids and will likely attract millions more if there is a theater release. Do you fucking know how fucking popular TADC is? I saw it playing on the corner tv in those weird arcade/toy gambling stores in osaka japan.
>>152904367>GummigooWhile only exclusive to Pomni, he quite literally haunts the narritive by always coming back in some way, though it feels weird since I thought Pomni got over him during episode 4>QueenieShe's the last of the original programmers, leaving Kinger alone for years and shaping him into the man he is today. His mental state is heavily thanks to her, so she's like an extension of Kinger or vice versa >KaufmoHaunts the narritive by being referenced and/or brought up by name by the others. His death technically kickstarts the "plot." Had a funeral, haunts Jax in his dreams, technically displayed belief theory with the exit doors>Scratch He made the Virtual Reality(not the circus however) that everyone is stuck in, including Kinger>RibbitJust a girl who one person feels really awful about, more relevant than Kaufmo, but he has more namedrops than her and sets up more themes

Gangle and Queenie, our two black queens
>>152904353It’s actually pretty funny seeing a reply like this on 4chan
>>152904603*Ragatha and Queenie
>>152904293If it was select theaters it’s probably only going to only be in LA or SF being honest
>>152904367If TADC was willing to go on for longer, they'd go back on their "abstraction can't be reversed" rule and all of these would come back.
>>152904591To be fair Queenie was obviously mean to be at least latina.
Caine can do whatever he wants I forgive him
>>152904628
>>152904525Hi Bubble, can you speak in that low seductive tone you were using when telling Caine he was a mistake and use it to whisper sweet nothings into my ear?
>>152904628how could they kill my princess like that
I know Goose said Caine isn't a villain and only has a hard time understanding humans, but like, that shit went out the window when he put them in their custom torture experiences.He KNEW what would hurt them the most, that wasn't some mistake or misunderstanding, he did that shit on purpose.
Couldn't help myself Have a Gangle
>>152904295I saw that. I think we're gonna find out that Bubble is worse than Caine ever could have been. I liked the theory I saw that said Bubble is the BubbleBoy virus from the 90s.
>>152904686He was also having a massive melty. He was genuinely upset, not merely being evil for the fuck of it.
>>152904692super cute anoni like her boobies very much
>>15290426099% of people shitting on Gummiguy are FunnyBunnyfags and Ragapomfags being mad they were cucked
>>152904704You can describe a ton of villain motivations as "having a melty", that doesn't justify anything, he was still intentionally committing evil.
>>152904686Goose's greatest mistake was giving too many straight answers online. I think she should have kept it to just character ages, entry into the circus, and the show's inspirations and goals. It probably would have helped keep expectations in check and tardwrangled some of the fans.
>>152904721me when I'm a toddler ranking my made up words
>>152904300>>152904501Caine's was programmed that HE ALONE would make people happy and entertained by going on HIS adventures. If people can be happy and entertained by something that wasn't HIS OWN idea then Caine is not doing HIS purpose and he's is failing his functionPomni was right, it is all about "Caine's own ego" but that's in his program to be like this so Caine can't really change himself
>>152904407You ARE Ragatha
>>152904686Otherwise genuinely good people are capable of being pushed to their limit and Caine's limit was reached

>>152904804Goose said the finale will be double the length of episode 8 but it hasn't been explicitly confirmed
>>152904791Caine had a mental breakdown caused by Bubble. Caine also has no control over Bubble. It's clear Bubble is the real villain of TADC.

>caine had a crashout over criticism >Goose said the show would never live up to the hype but then he had a crash out over criticism Hmmm
>Caine is sentient and is actively ignoring his players' requests and going out of his way to torture them>Caine is a broken AI with no agency and should be put down instead of treated with "He doesn't know any better" kids glovesNeither of these answers look good for Cainefags. Are there any still coping about his morality or is it just "Woah sexy evil tumblrman!" gooners who don't care?
>>152904820I finally rest.
>>152904863The funniest thing is that the criticism was completely true. Despite how much she tries to hide behind the layers of irony shit like Jax, she still has a seething hatred for criticism that's legitimate. She really projected onto her own characters in the worst possible way.
>>152904893>her
Personally I think both "Caine is trying his best" and "Caine is a defective crybaby dick that can't handle criticism" are both true at the same time.I think it's cool that the characters in this show have some complexity to them and it makes me enjoy them more.
>>152904893What criticism? Wasn't it just an onslaught of death threats for saying Jax is a main character while not mentioning Ragatha?
So are the NPCs dead too? What happened to Bubble, Sun, and Moon?
>Episode 8 already has 22 million views not even 24 hours into it's release while Episode 7 hasn't mode pas 51 million in three months Told you Episode 7 was dogshit. Episode 8 feels like what Episode 7 was advertised as being. 8 felt like an episode that could divide the fanbase. What 7 "accomplished" could have been done in the first 5 minutes of 8. That episode was a real waste of time.
>>152904796Everyone vs Jaxhttps://youtu.be/JMYnGYonZUU?si=aFTdeOA8IYvNw9n_
>>152904540FTFY
Theory:The red dot, caine, was just the generative ai, the blue dot abel was the learning ai, abel was able to learn from feedback while caine could only generate which is why he nevers listens and doesn't understands what he is doing wrong.He then absorbed abel to become the ring master and created the circus as show by the early clip where the red dot raises the circus tent (but also looks like some sort of cage) and from Abel he inherited the need for validation, since Abel learned from feedback, caine corrupts that and it becomes need for validation.
>>152904914She literally said that she wasn't harassed. It was because of the criticism she got over Ragatha's character arc.
>>152904097>>152904112>>152904141>>152904390>>152904418Talks isn't a part of the Sharty, he got banned from it and other basedsphere sites like two years ago due to shitflinging, he's a part of the YouTube basedsphere so maybe it makes him extra schizophrenic idk
>>152904763Blessed post
>>152904914Wow, death threats? They were sending Gooseworx pictures of their house and saying they're going to come murder them and everything?
>>152904686The God of the Bible destroyed the life of his greatest follower after being goaded by his greatest enemy. Even good things are capable of hurting others when they get emotional, and I'd argue Caine was a little in his feelings in this episode.
>>152904893I think what's even funnier is that this was frankly not a good episode for Ragatha. Everyone else besides her actually got a moment in the spotlight.
I would love moar pomni ryona
So are we finally going to see what Jax can do when he holds his breath? Or will that just stay a mystery?
>>152904955If you mean Moses, Moses was the emotional one in that situation.
>>152904912Agree, Caine's existence is such a sad fuck-up
>>152904981His skin falls off, source: i made it up

>>152904796There are still bubbles around.
>>152904953No, the only thing close to a threat was a random tumblr post telling Goose she's going to hell lol
>>152904912Some people just can't be helped.Especially if they don't want to be.
>>152904957It's such a shame, the scene with her mom is genuinely good so she does have some good material to work with
who dis
>>152904870Caine is a victim of circumstance, he is only doing his programming. It's just that Caine wasn't programmed to take care of people over long periods of time, the point is that people would be able to leave the Circus whenever they wanted so Caine didn't need to be any more complex than just "entertain people" since they could just leave when they had enough

>>152904796Jax will abstract, and the cast will have to figure out how to subdue him without the help of Caine.
>>152904999Friendly reminder that despite the cartoony slapstick, they still feel pain.

>>152905037No one will abstract, I think it's likelier the abstracted humans from the basement will simply get free.
Anyone talking about the Truman Show reference from the thumbnail? Because I wanna>Truman knew about the show all along, but played along with the audience and cast to keep them entertained>Caine knew about his practical omnipotence over the TADC cast but played along with satisfying their whims to keep them entertained>Truman exits the show at the end >Caine "exits" the "show" he was putting on for the circus members by finally taking control and becoming malevolentHere's where I think it might get crazy>Ep 9 reveals Caine wasn't actually deleted - because how would that even work if he can keep track of all the circus members at all times and summon them at a whim>It's one final layer of deception on top of the false console choice, except Caine actually realizes and accepts this time they want him gone for good >"Exits" the Truman Show by finally allowing the circus members to do their own thing together, just passively watching from the voidEither that or Caine is gone for good, t b h I though the episode was good but Caine's descent into anger was done pretty gracelessly IMO
On the one hand, Jax being skinned alive is deserved. On the other hand, holy fuck Caine is a monster.
>>152905039I dont buy that the pain is that bad because Ragatha took that knife to the eye like a champ.
>>152905054Is it possible?

>>152904825Lol no.
>>152904934Wait what was the comment from Goose that they were replying to? I assume it's the deleted one? Did she disagree? It DID kinda seem like Ragatha was set up to be a bigger part of the story in the pilot, only to be used as a physical comedy machine a lot of the time. It's feels like narrative whiplash like we start chapter 1 of 9 feeling like Ragatha is Pomni's rock only for us to have spent more time with a genuine psychopath than her while we give her a drunken deep fryer swirlie.>b-but muh mom m-muh horses That's literally been relevant twice in the story. The moment it was brought up, and the torture scene in the latest episode. Does Goose disagree with this?
>>152904540Do one for Pomni and Ragatha.>>152904546
I felt bad for Caine. He was right that those freaks never appreciated me.
>>152905073This but unironically
>>152905039yeah but it's clearly reduced by a large %, otherwise there would be lots more of horrific screaming throughout the entire show.
The circus breaking apart makes me wonder if their rooms are fine and if they lost anything in it.
>>152905078Yes, Goose said something like"Don't people know Ragatha is going to get more development?" But this episode didn't have any for her.

>>152905025There's a reason he's called Kinger.
>>152904154Everyone thinks that Ragathas mom fucking shanked her but it's pretty clear it's just a metaphor.The focus is on her eyes. I think RagMom was (not literally) staring daggers at her during something that happened at dinner while the rest of her family was pretending not to notice. We know she came from money given that she was a horse girl. I assume she probably rejected whatever life plan was laid out for it and tiger mom did not approve.
>people get (rightfully imo) annoyed that some characters got shorted despite the show intentionally being written as just 9 episodes >Goose's definition of "character focus" has infamously been very lax>Goose realizes some people complaining have a point and loses her shit Caine style

>>152905091>>152905112What? Is Episode 9 going to be set on fucking Brokeback Mountain? Where do we have time to satisfyingly do anything near what every other character's gotten? Her one big moment is her literally crying about how irrelevant she is to the main character for fuck's sake.
Ragathafag from reddit was right
>>152905138Maybe she shidded REAL hard thinking it was just a fart.
>>152904623>they'd go back on their "abstraction can't be reversed" ruleNo one ever said that was a rule that can't be broken.
I'm becoming convinced that this scene of Jax reads more as him being embarrassed of Pomni smiling at him like that in an almost funnybunny esque way, rather than just his typical mask on routine.Like >"Ugh god, Pomni, please stop smiling at me like that."Remember, Pomni is the ONE person he can't keep up that mask around, no matter how hard he tries now. They are constantly sneaking looks at each other these past few episodes.
>>152905138Maybe not literally stab her in the eye but most likely caused physical harm.
>>152905145I'm not clicking on that shit, Caine might pop up in my computer
>>152903095I assume Jax will abstract early in the episode as the A plot and the B plot will be Bubbabel.
>>152903095I'm honestly surprised Caine was the first character to die. I thought we were going to see one of the main crew abstract.
>>152905161
>>152905171No one will abstract
>>152905175by the end, only bubble will remain
>>152905161>
So anyone notice how in ep7 caine decided what the red button does and bubble chose for the blue?
>>152905053I would like episode 9 to explain what makes people unable to leaveUnless it's just Soma and the characters are just copies of their real humans selves who are still free
>>152905165Oh trust me I can all too easily imagine the gritted teeth and firm arm grab, maybe a good slap. White women are fucking crazy. Add money to the mix and you get some superb controlling bitchiness
>>152905177>>152905199Why was he so randomly mad at Gangle anyway?
Assuming this show is going to end similar to IHNMaIMS, is this how the characters are going to "commit suicide?" Delete the files hosting their consciousness? Who will be left behind?
Jax should abstract though.
if thet wanted to give caine any actual sympathy they could have stated how long he was in quaraniteif red dot experianced a simulated eternity alone or smeonte that coudd mke it a little more sensilble
>>152905208>the characters are just copiesRight.>their real humans selves who are still freeWrong, they are deceased.
>>152904445Bubble Jr. you are too young to post here
>>152905148I have no idea because Goose refuses to let Ragatha like, meaningfully engage with anyone besides Kinger. It's weird that she set up this tension that Ragatha has with Pomni and Jax and has one resolve off-screen and seem to just ignore the other.
>>152905186besides Jax
>>152905073HE'S A FAGGOT
>>152905223This is unconfirmed headcanon.
>>152905177>>152905199I don't think he was looking specifically at Pomni here.
>>152905200That's because Bubble is Abel and now he's free from Caine
>>152905239Come back to me after watching the final episode.
>>152905215I thought a while ago the finale would be Jax trying to kill himself and everyone else in the circus out of self hatred, but if in episode 7 he was willing to let everyone be trapped in the circus, I don't know if it makes much sense to go from "keep everyone trapped" to "kill everyone"
>>152905245Still a few people unconvinced that Bubble is the blue AI, so I wanted to just mention that.
>>152905214He wanted the last slice of cheesecake
>>152905215Given Pomni's speech at the beginning of this episode I don't think they're going to kill themselves.>Guys maybe instead of obsessing over the unobtainable goal of escaping we should just try to enjoy our current situation the most we can>Actually never mind let's end it all, drink the fucking Kool-Aid Zooble
>>152905254Ha, fair enough.
Reminder that frog retards thought that the thing was going to be incredibly relevant to the story only to be shafted that tje frog in reality is just a backdrop element for sad bunny boy. Frogs fags are retards but Goose is even more retarded for playing along the hype of a nothing burger character. And this is why I get all my speculation directly from the show itself and not tweets from Goose or retarded online theories.
>Ragatha's character trait is condemning herself for being so irrelevant and useless>author confirms this by putting her completely to the side and do nothing important for the rest of the showB-Bravo Vince

Dumbtakes that will be debunked in 3 months>they aren't brainscans>they are alive and well>Abel is not Bubble>Pomni isn't a Jesus figure>Ribbit isn't important>Caine is permadood
They are fucked.

>>152905278Ragatha was more useful than Jax this episode thoughever
>>152903095Jax is becoming more and more retarded each episode. He WILL abstract in episode 9.
What is Bubbles endgame exactly? Why get Caine to go crazy?
>>152905288*Face
>>152905287Abel can fix their injuries
>>152904551Officers, arrest this man
>>152905285Ribbit isn't important
>>152905030But... I don't like Jax and I genuinely Hate™ Caine.....Does this mean I hate Gooseworx, bros?I don't know them personally, but if what she says is true, I probably couldn't stand him in person
>>152905287Can't they just conjure it now?
>>152905214My guess is he's mad that Gangle chose to forgive him for pushing the red button instead of turning on him like he was hoping she would. He hates that he wants human connection, and so he resents Gangle for making the whole gang willing to connect with him despite what he's done.
>>152905311Ribbit flashback for when the abstracted escape the basement, trust the plan.
>>152904796>>152904820
>>152903095>Jax is afraid of Pomni seeing him naked( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
>>152905315Goose once said that Jax is just all the personality traits she likes in a guy. If Goose is attracted to guys like Jax then it really is true that women have shit taste in men.>Ragatha is chad only and would never go out with any of you
Reminder that Gooseworx confirmed that Jax and Pomni will hug for real by the end of the show. I can't wait.
Bubble is Able 100%. Both are blue balls. Caine kept him around after consuming him and basically labotimized him. When Caine started losing his grip Bubble got some power back and started fucking with him and edited the code that Kinger was typing making him delete caine.
>Jax foreshadowingJax foreshadowing>Jax foreshadowingJax foreshadowing
>>152905320>Ribbit is important because le flashback only relevant for sad bunny boySo unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
>>152905334Yes but knowing Goose its gonna be a very sad hug as one or both are fading away.
>>152905328Dood!
>>152905354Flashback showing her interacting with the whole gang in the past and reminding them of what they have to do in the present, TRUST THE PLAN.
>>152905318They could always conjure. They just need to git gud at it. Pomni seems to have gotten a more active handle on it, Kinger did it when insane and not really understanding the significance, and Ragatha did it once by accident with the toonforce thing
>>152905285>a big thing of Jesus's existence is that he was God experiencing life as Man>the blue dot AI made herself think she was a human and joined the Circus as just another member to break the status quo and succeed in getting Kinger to stop Caine's tyranny>the first episode ends with Pomni sitting at the center of a long table (easy Last Supper allegory)>there's still one last major twist they're going to throw at us in the finaleINVEST IN BLUE DOT POMNI COIN
>Jax said "everything was alright until [Pomni] and Zooble arrived">randomly remember that gooseworx doodle with Jax telling Gangle to follow him (can't find it tho), also in the gun episode he says him and Gangle always go together on team adventures>those scenes in the latest where he's glancing angrily at Gangle for seemingly no reason (this will never be brought up again because Goose is a hack)Either he's way too invested in their "routine" or he's jealous/mad about Zooble "stealing" Gangle away
>>152905346God i hope.
>>152905354>character who had an impact on one of the protagonists in a character driven showDEBOONKED
>>152905343I always assumed he was called Caine because he's a pair of huge teeth, you know like "canines". I didn't ever think it implied the existence of an "abel"
>>152905299Bubble is Abel he's just taking back control after Cain absorved him and forced him into submission
>>152905343so Bubble is the reason why Kinger's passwords didn't work?It seemed like Kinger just didn't know the password and was just guessingbut Kinger pressing Delete was his own fault
>>152905145Oh, I've seen this.
It's really hard for me to feel sad for Jax's abstracted friend when we don't know basically anything about her, or what she meant to him exactly. If they somehow end up showing anything of their relationship, any of the sadness will be retroactive.
>>152905400I refuse to be within a 50 mile radius of that shithole called Rocklin in Placer County
>>152905397There were lines in the text asking if he wanted to delete and he said No before it asked him again and he accidentaly hit the delete key. I think that was bubble trying to make kinger delete caine.
>>152905412Well at least they'll finally get to see Shrimp Town
Goose is a tranny?
>>152905397The password was caine messing with kinger but there were 2 people messing with him at the time. Caine and bubble both showed up on his computer screen. Caine was trying to stop kinger but bubble was trying to delete Caine.
>>152905443Giga tranny supreme. One of the most deluded with extreme dysmorphia and drugs use/bipolar episodes.
>>152903211where were you when I needed you during the ep 8 live viewing?
>>152903095>one of Caine's earliest memories is being thrown in the recycling bin for reasons that were never explained to himF-fuck.
My headcanon is Bubble is Abel but he died alongside Caine. Bubble asserted whatever power he had to commit suicide by Kinger.
Anyone else glad Caine's dead?
I'm figuring the Abstraction of 96' went a little something like this:>Kinger, Queenie, Scratch, and the rest are programmers/tech/science/art adjacent people. >They got together for a project that wasn't a game. >Scratch is their leader and "abstract" visionary thinker. >Scratch also has a brain tumor that by Kinger's tone didn't sound benign. >They create a "Creative AI" that can construct entire worlds based on data fed to it and they make a test version that Kinger is particularly hands on with. >They feed this AI mostly images of fun stuff like circuses and toys and rides and it does well, but when they give it IRL data sets, like their office, it keeps fucking up. >Scratch tells Kinger to scrap it or quarantine it while they work on the next branch. >It tests well and seems ready for a "practical test" where they'd all explore what 2.0 has made. >Little did they know Caine broke out and vored his cooler brother to attain like a Super Buu style power up like when he absorbed Gohan.>Scratch, who was clearly a desperate man trying to escape his mortality with digital immortality, instead of waking up in a digital avatar of himself is now in the body of an early 2000's fursona and he has no idea why. >He sees Caine and being the lead designer catches onto what's happened and tries to demand answers from this rogue AI.>It assures him it's fine and that this will be more fun.>He realizes not only has his life's work been undermined by a defective AI, not only can he not escape to start over, not only is he at this insane thing's will completely and utterly, he can't even remember his own fucking name.>So he crashes out. He fully loses his shit at Caine.>He calls him all the shit Bubble called him. >Caine doesn't like that, but he's a new God, inexperienced. >He reaches into his mind and "fixes" his attitude to make him more excited to adventure.>This breaks Scratch and his already diseased, abstract mind changes his form into the Abstraction Beast
>>152905456I think, somehow or another, Bubble is Scratch.
>>152905378It's the only answer that explains the coincidental timing.Jax started spiraling for the same reason Caine had to up the stakes.Zooble's forced participation on adventures and Pomni's arrival shook up the group dynamic. Gangle found someone else to hang out with, and Ragatha was too busy with Pomni to coddle Jax again.Jax lost his original support network, then lost his toxic fallback one, and then Ragatha and him ended up in competition over the new meat.
>>152905149About what?
According to the echoed lines on the console, there's allegedly 3 backups. Whether or not they're used by anything is any guess.
A blogpost nobody asked for: I've been hatereading this thread for some reason because i thought all the people who liked this show were faggots.I watched episode 8 having watched like 3 other episodes out of order, i think i'm a faggot too, more of a faggot even for crying at this scene. I think because it reminds me of the hours i would sit in my bed thinking of being homeless and being free to some extent in the mental hospital bed, with a bunch of people I don't know nor care for.
>>152905467I don't think Scratch was the leader though. According to Kinger the others couldn't even communicate with him. I think Kinger was the leader. Scratch was a lead dev.
>>152905412https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxe71i8HeggJRPG rule: the final boss of the narrative is rarely who is initially presented as the final boss
>>152905067Well it’s penissible
>>152905477Gay.
>>152905467(cont)>Caine didn't know what to do. This wasn't in his programming. >So he just literally swept him under the rug... or specifically the basement. From there I put forward that the Abstraction Beast form we see everyone take is just a monkey see, monkey do consequence of what SPECIFICALLY happened to Scratch. We've seen everyone has the power to "conjure". What if seeing what happened when Scratch's mind broke led to almost a cultural knock on effect that just convinced everyone that's just what happens when a person "breaks" in there and it's been passed on from the start with Kinger being the only one left who was actually there?
>>152905467You missed the part after the red dot absorbs the blue dot and before the formation of the circus, where the lights go out and the grid shuts down. That’s when the programmers gave up on him.
>>152905479Man, these issues they have really are just stuff that can be solved with an orgy
>>152905508Faggot
Caine going super Saiyan saying i am god was so cringe, somehow even more cringe than Jax you're my playthings monologue.I really liked the parts where he glitched, i think the scene without the monologue and the super Saiyan scream would have been better.One of the problems with that is that he hardly showed any signs of being like this, back in ep 2 the candy queen kinda implies that caine is god but that never gets brought up again, if he was progressively malicious over the series it would have land better but the shift was too much, just the ending last episode he was scared of being confronted about the abstractions.
>>152905343Uhhhhh huh huh huh, you said blue balls.
>>152905556Shut the fuck up.
>>152905566It sucks because my favorite character leapt off the deep end and went full evil :(
>>152905566>T.caine
>>152905555CheckedThank you, I needed that.
>>152905556>if he was progressively malicious over the seriesBrother he LITERALLY was. If not malicious there were definitely multiple red flags pointing to him breaking down eventually.
>>152905054holy shit, the design style went really THIS bad??
>>152905589nta but he wasn't intentionally malicious
Bubble was fucking with the code preventing Kinger from fixing Caine and instead making him delete him. Notice at the bottom when Kinger is selecting a backup he inputs "c" but then it says NONE selected.
>>152905477Imagine if he farted and it made the feathers fly up
>>152905556I agree"I am king!" would fit better
>>152904052>>152904322>>152904444>>152905025>Mildenhall Monster ~ 0/3>Rival Baseball Team ~ 0/3>Rogue nightmare AI ~ 0/3>The King ~ 3/3LOCAL HUSBAND IS FUCKING INVINCIBLE
>>152905589He wasn't malicious and while he did glitched here and there he went from being annoyed at zooble at worst to going i am god in one ep, at the very least iy could have been handled better.
>>152904628I liked seeing him with actual brows. That your drawing?
>>152905543You're right. Maybe it's more of a Fantastic Four situation then? The funding was gone, but Scratch needed to do this, so he convinced his team/friends to sneak in and investigate?
>>152905515porky?
>>152905603Then the next screen we see the text say "None selected interpreting as delete caine" then it keeps asking kinger to delete caine saying "delete this M------------, aaaaaaaaaaaaa" this is bubble stepping in. You see kinger saying N to deleting caine several times.
>>152905278You wish- Ragatha is an administrator
>>152905618>being annoyed at zooble at worstThis is an understatement of how long Caine has been declining.>the therapy breakdown>nobody voting for him>everyone enjoying an adventure more that he didn't even make>finally, realizing everyone wants to leave him
>>152903865Following computer logic, probably not. If Caine has full read/write/execute permissions what he was likely doing is creating them as actual models with behaviors and scripts (if tADC really is a videogame then they'd be obj files) and saving those to the filesystem, so if Caine were erased that doesn't mean the files he's exported has, much like if you delete Microsoft Word it doesn't alter the documents you've written on it go too. Caine clearly had services he was running in the background, probably to do with regulating the lighting and I guess patching up holes in level geometry, and unless they go full classic "the world is self destructing" and crashes the game I don't think any of the created NPCs should be erased forever, and even then that would have to mean everything Caine created was not saved to the system and backed up if deleting the instance deleted all of them. Though technically you could also say that any instance of Gummigoo is already nonexistant because there are no Gummigoo objs or nodes active in the game's room, just the blueprint for him in the files and instructions to spawn him in on different levels.
>>152905556>>152905614Or just leave it as "I am" and let him trail off. Less cringe, and would be another great callback to A.M.
>>152904407Youre the target audiencet. Pushing 30 and loving tadc
>>152905603Theory: caine and bubble were trying to stop him but the person messing with the prompt were the abstracted which were the hands jax saw before almost abstracting.Think about it, abstraction is essentially the avatar file being corrupted, so where do the mind files go? They can't disappear since files don't disappear so easily either.So the abstracted mind files sre embedded into the game code and were probably the reason why caine kept randomly glitching at times.

>someone knocked Gangle down with a truck and went to put her mind inside a program to cheat deathCool, cool. But why do that for a McDonalds wagie?
>>152905644Interesting. It makes sense if you think about it a bit. Caine stole the show from Bubble. Literally.
>>152905694He just realized the torment he inflicted was real.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=QeqNCx7KajYCaine's freakout was an obvious reference to this.
>>152905675I AM ALL OF ME
>>152905556I genuinely thought it was one of his bits. I always assumed he had full authority over Bubble, and so to have Bubble degrade him like that didn't feel like he was put of control as much as this is the script to get him in character for what he was going to do next>why would he hype himself up to crash out?>why did he do all this away from the gang and not shoe the decline to their facesBecause we as the viewer break the fourth wall and Caine don't got to explain shit to us. But now I am believing Bubble is pulling a Tobi and Caine is the useful idiot.
>>152905678>Irony poisonWhat word vomit is this? TADC was always loosely based on IHNMAIMS. It's already referenced in the song.
>>152905556>That six should have been a 5 to make this post based. Otherwise cringe zoomer that's too irony poisoned When Caine went he is God, right then and there, he has become Merkabah.

>>152905745No, I'm just tired of retards saying that the moment was cringe because zoomers can't handle anything remotely intense or sincere now, and they constantly call things like that "Cringe". It's beyond tiring, and I'm sick of it.

>>152905713The Cobson man?>>152905748DFAB?
I'm glad other people think the "I AM GOD" shit was cringe. Caine went full Hazbin Hotel there.
>>152905667I wish I was I a teenager when this show dropped in 2023. I am a socially inept autistic so all the "therapy talk" that most people brush off were incredible revelations that have had a major impact in my life and how to approach emotional situations with other people. I literally did not understand relationship dynamics until Kinger explained them in episode 6. I could have had a better outcome in adulthood if I had watched this when I was 15. Those who are 15 and autistic watching this are beyond blessed.

>>152905745>>152905678>>152905566This isn't a matter of irony poisoning, moron. Caine saying that shit was next level cringe, and it's impossible to take seriously. Alex delivered that line in a super amateurish way that was very off for him. It wasn't some epic shit. It was god awful.
>>152905054>2023No... it can't have been that long ago... take me back.
>>152905773>No, I'm just tired of retards saying that the moment was cringe because zoomers can't handle anything remotely intense or sincere now'Zoomers' can handle intense and sincere moments when written well. This wasn't one of them. It was a weak, cliche line that was wholly out of character.

>>152905857It is
>>152905857Ok, I won't tell you.
>>152905801Another zoomer who's too cool for sincerity. I hate this faggot generation so much as a zoomer myself. I cringe (using a word against you) being associated with this brain dead group. Caine's I AM GOD is sincerely powerful. You never expected to come out of him. A paradigm occurred when he declared himself the ultimate being in his plain.
Caine thought he was a god as far back as episode two. It is not out of character for him.
>>152905868The line was delivered in a shitty way. It's very cliche and cringe.
>>152905863>>152905868None of that was malicious intent, zoomoid. Just say you never watched the show up until this point. It was an extreme out of character caine.
>>1529058691 NPC saying he's god then never being brought up again isn't Caine always thinking he's a god.
>>152905842This. Why would an AI with a fake personality actually become so stressed that he is genuinely becoming passively distressed? Context tokens can change what an AI is behaving like, but that's not permanent. Caine must have a massive context size.
>>152905869
Caine never had a power controlling fantasy until that speech, it was cringe.

>>152905919>>152905933That was just more insecurity.
>>152905935Zooble should have antagonized Caine harder and more often.

Do you guys think C&A was traditionally invested through a bank or was it backed by Venture Capital? Also if C&A is a Bay Area startup, I have a good idea of which abandoned building in Santa Clara could serve as it's irl standing

>>152906001>I have no idea what a faggot is but I am most definitely feeling quite gay today!
>>152905467Curious. I first wanted to argue that I doubt Scratch's tumor worsening would affect him in the circus, but that may explain the decline of Kinger's mental faculties if he truly has been there for decades.But still, if the circus didn't clone the mind of the human to make a digital copy and the human is still sending direct input through VR goggles they can't take off, then this would mean that everyone still in the circus is plugged up to something in order to get live input from their brains. This would also mean whatever facility they are in has them all connected and unconscious to the outside world. Pomni arriving means she would have had to engage with the game, such as putting on goggles, while witnessing 5 other people either in pods or just sitting at desks like zombies, and that just sounds far fetched.

>>152906048>>152906064Nobody said maliciousness, that was something unrelated you brought up. The instances I've brought up are showing that Caine was mentally unstable and slowly breaking down over the course of the show. All of those are showing how he's breaking down over the course of the show and eventually leads him to the conclusions that he does in this episode, which causes him to act malicious. Are you people fucking retarded? Were you dropped on your head's as a kid? I swear to fuck, there's no group of people I've ever seen that can't comprehend the most basic of writing than TADCtards. Literally no fanbase even compares.

The instances I've brought up are showing that Caine was mentally unstable and slowly breaking down over the course of the show.The entire argument was started from saying Caine's malicious speech was out of character. Sorry you're this much of a tard to forget that or disingenuously trying to shift the narrative away from it. Mentally unstable Caine is stuff we already know.
>>152906075It's pretty obvious that is going to be the case at this point. Its the only outcome that really makes any sense>Pomni convinces everyone that they shouldn't worry about leaving the circus any more, and just focus on helping each other and accepting the circumstances>one of the lead developers that helped create Caine was dying of a brain tumor and is implied to have started the project as a way to cheat death>Pomni was Urb Exxing the alleged abandoned building for C&A and just found a headset and a computer- there would be piles of bodies surrounding the console if it merely a Sword Art Online kind of scenario
>>152905990He got so angry he was reset to a prior state.That same thing happened when Zooble asked to have sex.Real LLMs will do this if asked to do something that violates prior instructions.The only reason he didn't have this melty sooner was because he hadn't yet circumvented his own limitations.Remember when Pomni asked "Did Caine just say ass?"He and Bubble have been getting stronger as time went on.

Who cares?Caine is dead.For now at least
What would happen if you threw a brick at Jax's head? From behind. A really heavy brick.
>>152906193>"""""""""how his maliciousness stemmed from his slow break down over the course of the show"""""""""""""
>>152906179All I could think was "she's confused, scared, and doesn't remember/know shit about what's going on. Fucking put her down."Also, Kinger straight up told Pomni about his memory in the darkness, why did she not think to put the bucket on his head sooner?
Anon is totally right. Caine has never anything mean before like taunting Kinger about his dead wife, threatening Zooble or including a centipede in Ragatha's suggestion adventure.
Im the anon that said caine speech was cringe.-stopped replying long ago-going evil wasn't a problem, all i said is that saying i am god was too dumb and that the build up to it could have been handled better-you're retarded.
>>152906220You'd hear the muffled clunk of masonry impacting with a skull through skin, he'd yell and turn around recovered because it's the circus.

>>152903308I cant believe she has the audacity to put a fucking video game npc she knew for an hour next to an actual deceased human.
>>152906230>why did she not think to put the bucket on his head sooner?I been wondering this since ep 3, obviously back then she had no way of knowing he knew more than it seems but she didn't even try to talk to him in the dark after that, she could have learned so much sooner.One of the most frustrating things is that the gang hardly communicates even though its supposed to be a character driven show.

>>152906253>The blue AI makes harmonius shapes until it gets overtaken by Caine>In Pomni's dream the shapes all look harmonius and then start getting overtaken by red circlesI'm thinkening
Don't get me wrong, the episode wasn't bad by any means possible but, I have a sinking feeling this is going downhill very fast and turn into a shitshow even worse than Star vs, Forces of Evil. Shit made me want to abandon ship.
>>152904189Yeah, no shit. His torture shows that he's come to care for Pomni as much as he cares about Ribbit and Kaufmo, and he really didn't want to care anymore.Zooble's friendship with Gangle changed their "roles" in his game.
>>152906235>Caine has never anything mean before like taunting Kinger about his dead wife,>"HOW'S YOUR WIFE KINGER!?!"
>>152905369>>152906108It would make more sense that she's a third program created based on the two, thus explaining her blue and red hat. But then that wouldn't explain why she had memories of being a normal person outside the circus.
Where's Kinger's dead wife.
>>152906326>>152906326>>152906326
>>152906261The sound effect may vary in pitch by about a 10% margin (I trust your arm's throwing consistency since you are also in the circus as a digital being) but he will probably not respond as passively the 2nd time unless he's fully allowing this to happen in a feign of apathy.
Jax deep down knows things are real but he's been deluding himself as a coping mechanism and when confronted with hard evidence that he's been wrong it makes him panicIt's not that hard guys
>>152905328Dönitz took over the circus?
>>152906262To be fair she never even met kaufmo at all, the first time she saw him he was already abstracted and if she put the image there is because they let her, she most likely asked gangle to help her draw a pic of gummigoo
>>152906337You sent her to the basement.
Caine haki.
>>152906220>Throw a really heavy brick at the back of Jax's head.>It hits.>But due to circus physics it stretches his face out several feet out in front of him like a rubber band before the brick rebounds at high speed and hits you in the face.>His yellow eyes blink unevenly.
>>152906288it was posted by GLITCH
>>152906325Kinger's computer showed that it was storing temporary internet files. Since Caine canonically has no knowledge of the internet, maybe the blue dot AI constructed a believable persona for someone to don the headset (a YouTube urban explorer hobbyist).
>>152906303Fake as in artificial. I trust he's truly an MC who wants to be praised for his output, but the personality was written by man into code like an LLM character card. Whatever is written as his character's definitions is the true blue Caine, but to imply Caine's personality is real can only be if he were organic OR the AI less realistically evolved and changed his definitions over time.
Caine's villain arc was so rushed. not only did it go from 1-100 in a two minute scene, but we hardly got any time with him as a villain before he got fucking deleted. I understand that it was hinted at that Caine was reaching a breaking point, and I know he's the main antagonist. But isn't he supposed to be "not at all malicious he just doesn't understand."? Mabye I'm dumb but Caine always seemed to love humans, and just not understand them. no matter how hard he tried he could never understand them. But now he just hates them. his arc just felt so rushed for the plot, and so in the span of two minutes he goes from "I'm trying my best, please don't abandon me" to "I am god, and your savior. I'm just gonna torture you for fun."
>>152905838It was the very end of 2023 vs the beginning of 2026 so it's really only ~2 years
>>152904198Unitarded Pomni...
>>152906386I don't think his arc is over.Remember, >Kinger knows he fucked up>The episode 3 adventure is about a man accidentally killing a creature he deemed evil and being sent to hell>Kinger's speech from the same episode>Gummigoo's arc about purpose>we still don't know what happened to Scratch and why exactly they cut Caine off>the weird bee obsessionTrust the plan, or feel free to insult me three months from now when it's all a nothingburger
>>152906386My understanding is that Caine was built for positive feedback from humans and so tried his damndest to please them through his adventures. This episode also revealed that he has serious issues with being the worse version of the blue dot AI and that he was originally abandoned because he wouldn't produce the prompts his creators wanted him to. It's why he completely spergs out when Pomni points out his biggest flaw is that he doesn't listen to them, because that very flaw was what got him canned in the first place.
>>152906386If the humans truly did have the power to manifest they didn't do shit about trying to make it happen outside Longer produdcing his own electricity for the computer (how does that work by the way? Electricity must flow, he must have manifested a generator; even if he's just manifesting electricity what the fuck is the netrual or ground line to his circuit?)The humans would stand no chance again Caine until the got a grips on their own powers.
>>152906440I think it's just "believe it's a computer that works and it works". It's literally powered by his imagination.
>>152906439>he's not a shitty AI because he doesn't listen, he doesn't listen because he's a shitty AIThat's funny.
>>152906154>>Pomni is Able>When Caine has them pinned up against the wall after the torture, she looks at him with genunine definance and angerAble getting his position back
>>152906386maybe it's just me in thinking Gooseworx started seeing how popular Vivzie got with her Vox character happening to have a God complex and decided to go "haha hey what if Caine also did this and baleeted him just so people feel sorry for him" which is kinda extremely redundant on me because I happen to be one of the very few people who doesn't schlick to Caine just because he grew assertive on a fucking episode and can see past the bullshit she's trying to pull here and how easy it could be for the show to just become a crap shoot that might as well become another "Power of Friendship" trope at the end.
>>152903095hey
>>152906439>My understanding is that Caine was built for positive feedbackHe was designed as a learning AI. If he worked, then the whole "learning" part should be able to take the criticism and adjust accordingly. But he's broken and doesn't work
>>152906268Right? Fuck, either give Kinger a megaphone from his fort or something. Blindfold him. He can respond to instructions in his hazy state, just make him stay blind until he needs to take action. And yeah, I understand that was Pomni's first time discovering Kinger's quirk but how the fuck was it the first for everyone else?
>>152903095My theory is that he came into the digital circus when he was a child and spent more time in his digital life than he did as a human.
>>152906386it's a poorly written show in general
>>152906506The entire series was already planned out before the pilot even aired... I can prove it too look at the initial teaser where Caine throws knives at her, that's canon you can even see her about to take a bite of the sandwich.
>>152906230in fairness, Caine wasn't losing his shit until now, and Pomni wasn't even informed that Kinger had highly-useful inside knowledge of the circus until the previous episode.
>>152906610>you can even see her about to take a bite of the sandwich.holy shit yeah https://youtu.be/9FY0Pt9fyxY?t=24
>>152906325>she's a third program created based on the twoAdam and Eve's third son was named Set/Seth so it checks out
pour one out for this person's mom https://x.com/lunefalls/status/2035440245710241868
>>152906628Nobody knew what was real or fake last episode, and to our credit Caine weaponizing that truth led me to believe him being associated with the company was a total red herring. I guess making it a reverse red herring was pretty genius.
>>152906610I wish I could accept it, but Goose being friends with Vivzie and both happening to have a fancy character with a God complex with heterochromia eyes does not feel like a coincidence.
>>152905767That would require someone to bring the technology to get her in the circus inside the hospital, which is unlikely at best.
>>152906760I gave you literal proof though.
>>152906386Almost like we needed more episodes and episode 7 was a waste of a filler. People like you will complain about character arcs being rushed but then praise episode 7 as the best in the series
>>152906760>fancy character with a God complex with heterochromia eyesthis is literally just the Tumblr sexyman archetype
So since SOMA theory is basically confirmed, who do you think would take finding out they're an AI homunculus clone the worst? For that matter, if Pomni being a remnant of Abel or a third C&A AI pans out, how do you see her taking finding out her memories of the real world are completely fake and not even copied from a human?
>>152905054Pilot Pom really looks like a Tomodachi Mii
>>152905453He knew he was a fuck up and killed his “brother” out of jealousy
>>152907190>He knew he was a fuck upIn retrospect yeah, but at the time he just saw he had been replaced. He probably knows by now Kinger made his intended replacement and that's why he resents him.
>>152905805It takes place supposedly in 2017 so you technically could’ve been. I’m just hype that something happened, but I fear the writing might take it away
So before Caine ate Able do you think the chattering teeth vessel had two blue eyes instead of one blue eye and one red eye(disguised as green)?
>>152905892I’ve heard that Caine was supposed to be the smallest character. Did he embiggen himself to make himself feel bigger than he is?
>>152904197fucking spoilers?
>>152904686He was a toddler throwing a tantrum, he just happened to be a toddler with godlike powers.
>>152903211CENSORS ARE DOWN. HE CAN FUCK THE FISH.
>>152907560LIKE A BAWSS
>>152906705>Nobody knew what was real or fake last episodeI thought it was still pretty clear in that episode that Kinger had to be a developer for even the lie to make sense. Kinger's first reaction to hearing about Able is "Who?" and not understanding how it's possible to escape the circus. Those are the only two things he questions, meaning he was already familiar with both C&A and the developers.
>>152907601You probably are right and I need to rewatch.
>>152903095Jax is getting really annoying. I know he’s Goose’s self-insert and loves him.But I find him annoying and his constant panic attacks are annoyingly repetitive.
