Shouldn't it be "who answers to whom"?
>Soma is explicitly established as canon>the circus freaks struggle with this existentialist revelation>suddenly a portal opens up>Real Pomni and Real Kinger step through>RK explains that they needed to Soma as a bug test for the real commercially viable Tron project>Pomni, his newly hired intern immediately starts flirting with Jax
>>152997841Caine you only censored one of the jester’s bells
>>152997841Yes but because of the way proper singing form works the "m" on the end is basically nonexistent anyways
This will make her happy.
>>152997841>Shouldn't it be "who answers to whom"?Go get shoved in a locker you fucking nerd
>>152997914
>i love this fundamentally incompatible non couple.
>>152997896People needed to be told this?
>>152997935This was about Jax and Gangle btw
>>152997077>SOMAfags are all just gummifags looking for justification for their terrible shipIt all makes sense now. Imagine being this media illiterate
>>152997914She will try so hard to not be like her mother that she will do a great job raising her own kids
Our hero has grown so much…
>>152997896>If you act like this character in real life you will be fucked by me multiple times
>>152997982
Is Jax just a yellow nigga wearing a rabbit costume
>>152997914Ragatha is such a screw-up she probably can't even get impregnated properly. You'll have to try a bunch of times
>>152997993
>>152997993The ship that makes everything worse…
Okay everyone, we've had some nonsense in the past several threads, so we are assigning our top girl, special agent Ragatha, to monitor this thread and make sure nothing untoward goes down. Be on your best behavior for her, got it?
>>152998009>Finds Jax sexy>Made Jax canonically into trans womenWhat could this possibly mean...
>>152998003Oh nooooo haha
>>152997993That ship makes everything better.
>>152997993Makes more sense for Zooble to say this instead of Ragatha
>>152997982>I should kill myself now>Caine should KILL himself, NOW
>>152998039*starts flirting with her as a distraction*
>>152997982Another complain is that pomni character development is also not subtle at all, it didn't take her 8 episodes to become like this, she has been like this since ep 3 and since ep 4 she has been calm and collected, we saw barely anything of pomni being miserable or adjusting and immediately accepted the circus as soon as she saw the funeral and her conversation with kinger in ep 3.If she kept pushing it to find an exit but slowly stopped over time until the part in the last episode where she says they need to abandon the idea of leaving then it would have hit a lot harder because on one hand she would be have subconsciously accept her fate but a part of her still looked for it and her acceptance in ep 8 on giving it up would have shown her development much more, her line felt flat because she already gave up on it since ep 3 final and there's no difference between pomni in ep 4 and ep 8.
>>152998002>the man behind the laughters
>>152997993She WILL redeem him.
>>152998069That would definitely work
>>152998047The look of someone who doesn't feel they're as attractive as they are. She could put on the dog and all those other positive euphemisms, and still have to sheepishly ask you if it really does look that good on her.
GUESS WHAT EVERYONE? IT'S THE FISH HAT AGAIN!
>>152998093…as a friend concerned over his suicidal ideations.
>>152998069Very cute! I'm on the clock though, so I can't get too close
How would things change if /co/ rewrote this show?
>>152997620Probably pods, honestly. They never indicated that isn't the case, people act like that being a facet of the escape the circus adventure means it isn't true but honestly it's more than likely that it is real, since Caine loves incorporating macroverse stuff that he does know about
>>152998133It would turn into a soap opera where everyone is pining after everyone
>>152998133Gratuitous sex in every episode
>>152998146>No, you see, Abel was actually telling the truthOk, retard
>>152998133Make Jax a closeted gay incel who calls everyone slurs.
>>152997957>show about human connection and bettering each other>actually none of them were human all along, it was all caine playing sims>none of these humans ever met each other and had no impact on one another>real gangle probably killed herself by nowgenuinely what tangible message am i supposed to get from this show if soma theory is true?
oh no no no no this yo fanbase? https://xcancel.com/knbydesign/status/2037870273999880437
The finale being played in movie theaters 2 weeks before it premieres elsewhere is going to ruin all discourse around it. 99% of the shows audience is not going to go to a movie theater to see it for various reasons especially when it’s a limited event meaning the 1% who do are going to flood the internet with spoilers. Even /co/ will be unsafe to use for those 2 weeks. It’s a good strategy for theaters since it means they’ll get more people showing up than if it premiered on youtube the same day but it sucks for everyone else.
>>152998133The average anon can't read, let alone write.
>>152998175What is the fucking point in Zooble's existence if this fanbase wants Jax to be the tranny?
>turns out the characters are just copies of the folks who put on the headsets Would make the most sense if you ask me. I doubt C&A can keep missing persons cases quiet, they didnt sound like a huge company.
Episode 9 spoilers
The beginning of a beautiful "friendship"
>>152998175>The fanbase either wants him to be a harem protagonist or a trans allegoryWhy can’t anybody be normal about Jax
>>152998206
>>152998146>C&A has been paying the bills on one building for years and leaving one single headset out to trap people and they also conveniently have someone nearby to put these people in the podsit doesn't make any sense
i honestly prefer jax being an asshole and gooseworx should do the based thing of making jax accept and love himself being an asshole
>>152998131now hold on a second, secret service agents dont smile!
>>152998221Maybe the troon working on this show should've put his dick in his pants before creating Jax if you wanted people to be normal about JaxSee >>152998043
>>152998133>Pomni has an anxiety attack every episode, ends up shellshocked and quadriplegic by the end>Ragatha has giant breasts and a BBL and can't stop talking about wanting to become a tradwife and getting pregnant>Gangle and Zooble, same as the above>Jax is Judge Holden and Caine is literally AM>Kinger somehow stays the same but has the N-word pass>No therapy, they let their fists do the talking>Everyone has a rape backstory for some reason>Gangle got ran over by several trucks>They explain the tax system of the circus in great detail>Everything is exactly what it seems>They all escape in the end and have kids for the 20000 sequels they're planning
>"JAX could be here" they thought, "I've never been in this part of the circus before. There could be JAX anywhere">The digital wind felt good against there bare chest>"I HATE JAX" they thought>Sweet Dreams are Made of These reverberated in their entire pot, making it pulsate even as the $9 stupid sauce circulated through their powerful thick veins and washed away their (merited) fear of bunnies after dark>"With a box of zooble parts, you can be anyone you want" they said to themselves, out loud
>>152998175I can tolerate tranny Jax but I draw the line at having her be a fucking Megaman bullet gijinka
>>152998133>Ragatha has a fat ass and huge tits>Pomni is now 11 but "mature for her age">Jax is a chad>Zooble gets Snoot Game'd>the truth behind the Circus is incredibly convoluted >Caine is malvado y sexy

Ragatha is:handmadecustom-builthandwroughtbespokedcraftedcomposedpreparedconstructedfashionedformulatedmoldedfabricatedconcotedsculpturedassembledfor /co/ anons
>we act like we didn't take a lot from Toby Fox but we took a LOT from Toby Fox
>>152998232It doesnt. Its most likely that they gave up on the Caine project for years but kept it running to see how things went. Plus, people maybe DYING under their care if people were put in pods or something would sink the company quicker than shit. So, I doubt anyone is actually IN the circus and everyone is just a copy. Caine kind of alludes to this because he made a body based on their MIND FILES. No one is trapped in the circus, their digital clones are and their normal selves are still walking around.
>>152998297The OTP to rule them all
>>152998146Cope
>>152998232>A bunch of nonsense made up so you can say "That's so silly"We have no actual true indication of what their operation in the current day is. We know Pomni was exploring a building she thought was abandoned, and put a headset on. Whether or not there are multiple buildings, multiple headsets, to what extent a staff maintains it or it is automated (working with AI, it would not come as a surprise an AI was left in charge of running the day-to-day operations outside of the simulation), or any other of myriad possible options could be the case.The simple fact is we barely know much about the actual state of and operation of C&A, so most people are grasping at straws or using very little evidence to extrapolate far beyond what the evidence actually supports. It's fine to believe any fan theory, but to definitively claim one as proven with this little of evidence is foolish.
>>152997947No, but pretending that people need to be told makes certain types of people feel well adjusted despite their weekly therapy session.
>>152997841At least wait for the previous thread to die before creating new ones, tards
>>152998356Ok, then what's C&A doing with the abstracted people?
>>152997857what a nortubel tier crossover
>>152998043The last episode ends with Goose's Goosesona arriving in the circus and immediately fucking Jax.
>>152998379
>>152998273Forgot the most important detail, they're all underage (yes, even Kinger). Oh, and there's at least one tournament arc with an extremely autistic power system.
>>152998165He was just a tool for the adventure, Cain wrote the diagram he showed them since Abel is his creation. He works in as much of the real world as he can and knows about; he evens says right before his breakdown that he made an adventure that was about the real world. It would make sense he would include possible real world details. Now, I'm not saying this guarantees it; it could be all made up. What I'm saying is nothing has actively disproven it, so it can't be rejected as a null hypothesis.>>152998330see>>152997611
>>152998178I'm still waiting for an announcement or official trailer to drop, or someone to say>We have... no idea where that came from.in the other direction. I forgot who posted it, but it is somewhat plausible to fake this sort of thing if you really wanted to mass with some heads; just scam e-mail a film distributor and pretend you're a studio making a new movie. That it's listed on the websites without a poster yet is sus, too, but maybe I just don't know much about film promotion. Then again, it's also been a couple of days, you'd think they'd say SOMETHING by now.
>>152998356>a bunch of people go missing> find them dead or trapped in an ai hell scape in an abandoned software company building that for some reason, never shut off the AI that keeps killing peopleC&A could not hide this for long. No way in hell.
>>152998375We simply don't know. All I'm saying is it's retarded to insist anything is proven yet or anything has really been actively disproven.
>>152998165>>152998421The pods were just Caine's terrible attempt at making the idea of escape feasible. It was an adventure about escaping the circus, so they needed to believe they had bodies to escape to.
>>152998254>no therapy, they just let their fists do the talkingIt's funny that as dumb as this sounds, Pomni actually tried this shit.
>>152998441Anon, do you know how many people go missing every year that are never found?
>>152998421>SOMA theory isn't real>Show screenshots of "Brainscans" in the show>UM, WELL YOU SEE, THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT THE CASEOk, retard
>>152998448That's entirely possible. We don't know that it isn't also based on the reality of the situation or is just a fabrication of Caine's.
The pods theory is even more dead after the last episode. Kinger didn't say anything about pods. Like maybe Scratch was up to something but I don't think he was building pods in secret.
>Jax never had the makings of a varsity athlete
>>152998471So tell me anon, in your own words and not the words of the youtuber that shapes your opinions, why having the single word "brainscans" means that those can only be full digital copies of the minds and not anything else, or how having brainscans stored means the people couldn't also be actively hooked up to the simulation as well?
>>152997896...yeah? that's the whole point
>>152998435*mess with
>>152998493
The story loses its oomph if C&A is this multi-billion corporation and not a little startup that accidentally created a god
>>152998485Everyone always talked about a headset anyway. Then again, why would they leave a headset out that sends people to the digital circus? Sounds like a liability to me, and why did no one shut Caine off despite knowing how dangerous he is? Who knows! Not like he has access to the internet. He's in an enclosed system.
This might be the worst official plush I've seen, they sell these at Gamestop, apparently.
I don't get it, am I meant to treat Jax throwing Ragatha into a deep fryer as if it happened in real life? But if that is so, how come they are fine shooting each other with guns??
The best move is to never explain how jacking into the circus works, only that there is no exit.
>>152998539>mom i want the realistic depiction of a panic attack doll
>>152998539
>>152998541It’s comedy violence taken too far. It’s not as harsh as it would be for real, but it’s still an extreme dick move.
>>152998539Eh it's alright, I think it would look much better if her face was covered in Big Red soda.
>>152998521A lot of tech companies back in the 90s weren't exactly the massive enterprises that could rival most nations in GDP just yet.
>>152998511it's fucking crazy Ragatha beat Chel in Ms. /co/
>>152998539Who would want this? If I’m buying merch of a character I want them to be happy and comfy, or at least cool. This just feels like you’re making her suffer by owning her.
>>152998535It doesn't seem like any part of the circus was intentional. The headset doesn't send people to the circus, it's a brain scanner. C&A was doing "AI and consciousness" research and having brain scans would probably be pretty useful for said research.Caine somehow took over the machine he was on, swallowed the other AI in training, and then built the circus in an absence of any kind of input from the outside. The brain scans were simply on the hard drive and he plopped them into his makeshift universe.
>>152998568>>152998581>>152998592Pomni huffing the stench if my taint after not bathing for 2 weeks.
>>152998352that bubble is killing me
>>152997896only if you're not attractive
>>152998570Much better.
>>152998568>>152998581>>152998592>>152998602No, seriously, what the fuck did Goose mean by this?
>>152998521I doubt a small start up can keep an AI running for long. The whole C&A plot point makes less sense the more you think about it. Unless the ENTIRE thing is a lie. But if it was just a small team, why send everyone in at once? That's stupid. Send maybe one or two to see how things go and fix Caine on the fly if he gets fucky. In fact, how did no one notice that he ate the second AI? Unless the second AI came much later and was their show product. Only for Caine to show up and eat it during whatever the process is to get into the circus.
>>152998206My FUARKING hero...
>>152998622>why send everyone in at once?That implies people were sent in at all.Scratch is clearly confused about what's going on in the flashback, Caine's universe was never meant to exist, the brain scans were never meant to become living programs.They all popped in at the same time because all their scans were sitting on the drive before Caine built the circus.
Crusty Ragatha Plushie
>>152998658
>>152998596Seems the most likely to me. I dont know why people think otherwise. >>152998648I'm still confused on how Caine even got to the second AI. Did they really build both of them on the same network? Why would they do that? Its like trying to build a car inside another car.
>>152998593The look of fear is erotic
>>152997947The fact that you shouldn't emulate everything you see on TV is still a shock to some people
>>152998596>had TOTAL control since they're simulations>couldn't relate to his own simulated "humans">seeks for their affection he could've made them give him this entire time>they somehow make him mad enough to glitch out>kills himselfis he retarded?
>>152998681this would make for a great pinata if anyone's autistic enough to make one
>finale plot twist is so obvious that people are seething over anyone not believing it before the finale's even come out
>>152998615>Big Red WaterboardingIf Caine made this an adventure he would have zero humans left.
>>152998716Caine’s resurrection?
>>152998728No...the second AI breaks out of Caine and saves the day!
>>152998713>had total controlNot necessarily.The way I read it is that Caine doesn't fully understand the brain scans. He can feed them sensory data (including the senses we don't normally think about like proprioception) and gave them bodies to interact with his world in, but direct control requires knowledge he doesn't have.Caine even said that if he digs too deeply into anyone's mind things can go very bad. Kinger assumed this meant Scratch's abstraction, but we don't really know what Caine meant.Plus, what good are compliments coming from mind-controlled sycophants? Caine's an artist, his (self-imposed?) purpose is to create things people will like.
>>152998713Yes, he is.
>Caine didn't do nothing. he's just a kid who wants loveSo what? The characters should just spend the rest of their days doing whatever he wants whenever he wants? I won't be happy with the ending unless Caine agrees to not be a bitch should he come back.
>niggas still coping about the soma theoryPay attention to the show like Pomni speech about being with one another even if there’s no escape from the circus in episode 8, Gumigoo’s whole arc about being a real person with feelings despite being an NPC and Pomni trauma about him, all the things about being brainscans with it deliberately shown in the storyboards (meaning they wanted to draw attention to it) as well as Goose saying the whole theme is about finding purpose in a stagnant life.Plus this is hinted at the leaked summary for episode 9. My money is on them finding out they’re digital copies and someone having a crash out and the other option being deleting the circus.
>>152998615GIMME THAT
>>152998403You could never see the Twin Towers from Times Square. Is Kinger stupid?
>>152998780It’s not like people who think he’s coming back expect his arc to remain unfinished.
>>152998539i like this face better
>>152998781The summary's fake, genius
>>152998787yes
>>152998781digitally kill yourself
>>152998801No it’s from the Cinemark page before it was taken down. Neither Glitch nor Goose has denied it being real and Goose tweeted this yesterday.

No one is an unironic podfag NOW, right? Please tell me you're just pretending to be retarded.
will (you) be getting your jax cookies?
>>152998938No because YouTube is in charge of that, not glitch. As I said in the previous thread this reads like a soft confirmation like Goose is saying the movie release is all on Glitch and her only role is being being the writer and director of the show.
>>152998973being in the same room as other TADC fans sounds like a hellish experience.
>>152998973
>>152997947People STILL try to act like House and Dr Cox. When I was a kid I was annoying as fuck trying to be humorously snarky like tv characters too until I got that shit whooped out of me by high school
>>152998973Gangle laughing at him is making him suicidal btw
>>152998975Sure, it's YouTube's fault, but people could have still been asking Goose if they were working on getting it fixed.There is no explicit mention as to which responsibility Goose is shrugging off, so any implicit topic can be inferred.
do people like Jax exist irl?
Would I like this show if I'm a big fan of DHMIS?I'm on the fence of trying it out. The main girl is cute and voiced by Yanfei/Sparkle so that also got me a bit interested.
>>152998728
>>152998497Why would C&A waste money on keeping people alive in pods if just making digital copies would be easier?Why would an AI company even know how to keep people in pods?
>>152998992I act like your pic related and jax alot lately because im just that angry all the time. I need more therapy
i deeply desire to lobotomize pomni and turn her into my retarded rape slave
>>152998950You know, I was thinking about Kinger's possible real name and a few google searchs gave me Giano, the italian variant of Janus.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JanusAm i going schizoid?

Idk if the faggot who keeps getting into arguments about "SOMA theory being wrong", I want to make a point.The show went out of it's way to state that pod theory is wrong. If the final episode were to just state that "Um, actually, you all were actually bring held in pods" that be retarded writing. You're not a clever writer if you keep throwing shit that contradict people's assumptions, you're just a hack wanting to punish people for giving a shit about your story.
>>152997841"whom" is a dead worddoesn't exist in english anymore because nobody knew what it was forenglish teachers tried to keep it alive on life support, but it didn't work
>>152999048Jax self inserters…
>>152999014People were also asking about the Cinemark leak and it got a lot of attention on twitter. Given the context it seems to be more of addressing the Cinemark leak without explicitly addressing it. That tweet makes no sense if it’s addressing the YouTube kids thing because neither Glitch nor Goose have anything to do with that but the Cinemark thing does. Also pretty telling that Cinemark, Glitch nor Goose has come forward and claimed it’s fake and only Cinemark can put up movie listings so it’s unlikely it was an employee given the radio silence on it.

>>152999179So you're telling me that Goose not saying anything about the rumor is evidence for it being true, while arguing that the tweet was in fact specifically about Cinemark?

I need flawless perfect anime that is better than every other anime in the world and I won't be criticized for liking. If I'm ever criticized for liking something, I will kill myself.
>>152999365It wasn't porn, just characters meant for porn. And it was a male and female pair so probably straight but IDK

>>152999386im gonna be real this doesn't even look like a toy, it's just a frog in a body suit
Caine’s VA did a reaction stream to episode 8, and had some interesting things to say about episode 9:https://files.catbox.moe/2ji6aw.mp4
>>152997841
>>152999279>tries to make esoteric arthouse shit>it winds up being absurdly popular with unexpectedly broad demographic appeal
>>152999410
>>152999008Good
>>152999417Anon’s concubines…
>>152999417
>>152999407this kinda tells me that they won't touch on the character drama much at all and it's still gonna be plot plot plot
>>152999404Looking forward to it
>>152999407>>152999404Whats the rugpull going to be, anons?
>>152999407>we're getting the "subvert your expectations" ending of disjointed nonsense that ruins the series
>>152999397NO ONE IS TELLING ME WHAT'S GOOD. INSTEAD YOU'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT BAD STUFF LIKE THIS AND VIVZIEPOP.
>>152999279I dislike the implication that episode 9 is not esoteric arthouse shit, FUCKING DROPPED
So this more or less confirms they’re digital copies
>>152999442No it doesn’t.
>>152999432
>>152999279The porn. The source of this derangement of his mind.
>>152999442The movie itself hasn't even been confirmed yet
>>152999449Why is Bubble such a bitch?
>>152999384GT is shit, Super is shit, Daima is mega shit, and jesus fucking christ are the fans on this website the biggest fucking cancers ever.
>>152999449
>>152999400Even comparing Frogni to Ribbit, we see the extent of the iteration
>>152999438>No, I will not just make a thread asking for cartoon recommendations.>Instead I'll bitch about not getting recommendations
How will a theatrical release for episode 9 work? Will they have it shown in theaters only for a week at first then release the episode on Youtube later?
>>152999346He always was
>>152999461>Another fag filtered by GTLmao
>>152999436The “real world” is not what it seems, and the circus might be the last arc of humanity or something.Or they all consented to this and this is an attempt at digital heaven.
>Caine's VA said Jax's best voice acting moment hasn't happened yet>His favorite scene from the whole show is from episode 9
>>152999487Jax crying like a bitch…
>>152999472You can't make threads asking for recs on /co/.
>>152999487didn't someone also confirm that that audio Goose posted of Jax laughing/shouting was from episode 9 and not just an unused thing or something?I'm thinking we probably will get the ribbit abstraction scene and the best voice acting moment they've been talking about is Jax reacting to that.
>>152999491I'll laugh if that one fake leak ends up being real
>>152999474It's allegedly supposed to come out June 4th,, which is 1) a Thursday, so that's weird, and 2) 15 days before episode 9 comes out on YouTube. And think about it if they were going to release it as a movie, why wouldn't they say "The Amazing Digital Circus Movie" at the end of episode 8?
>>152999487>>His favorite scene from the whole show is from episode 9Which means he was at the final reading, which means he has lines in episode 9, which means Caine is back baby.BUY CAINECOINS! BUY BUY BUY
>https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDigitalCircus/comments/1s6dro2/her_name_has_been_revealed/Sorry for reddit but this apparently came out a week ago, the sloth abstracted chick's name is Grinchilda.
>>152999504As if there was any doubt.
>>152999503oh man dodging spoilers for two weeks is going to be a nightmarehopefully some nice people will flood the Internet with fake spoilers
>>152999504I mean, it could just be a flashback.
>>152999513>if they were going to release it as a movie, why wouldn't they say "The Amazing Digital Circus Movie" at the end of episode 8?
>>152999474>we all go to the theatre to avoid being spoiled>we are all gunned down before the third act>the film projector scans our brains as we lay dying>we experience the ending as Goose always intended, from inside the circus>no one ever bothers to upload the finale to YouTube
What if Jiren was in The Amazing Digital Circus? Could he have changed how things went?
>>152999487Jax’s abstraction scene is gonna go so hard
>>152999532Abstracts because nothing is powerful enough to motivate him.
>>152999504Bubble Jr. will be played by Alex so Goose can rest her tender throat.
Alex has a nice voice
Goose’s description of episode 9:>what…
Why did The Jax Show have to die? This could've actually been kino.
>>152999279But you tried that already Goose, that's what TADC was supposed to be.
>>152999561>Bubble before getting BTFO by Pomni via Deus Ex Machina
>>152999573did you read the script? it was awful.
>>152999574I think Goose pitched two other shows to Glitch but they picked TADC over those. I wonder what those are and if she's allowed to talk about them.
>>152999573Once the official release was confirmed to be the jax show, a fan version became superfluous.
>>152999561Pomni fuses with Evil Pomni to create Pomvil who takes over the circus and defeats Jax's seven evil fumbled baddies
>All of your theories are wrong, nobody will guess itRagatha episode confirmed
>>152999608lmao imagine
>>152999310No likes the new rat yet, I see>>152999467Caine bars adult stuff, but what if gangle drew NSFW? Would it just poof away or would caine show up as soon as she finished the first boob?
>>152999608Did Goose actually say this?
>>152997950Wait for real
>>152999625Alex did
The fact theyve said absolutely nothing about the Cinemark posting means it's real but theyre too affraid to confirm it, either because they have some contract not to announce it yet and Cinemark just fucked up, or because they didnt expect backlash for it and dont know how to handle it.
>>152999635Where did he say this?
>>152999625Caine's VA said it.
>>152999634No but it'd be amazing wouldn't it. And digital, perhaps.
>>152999636>The fact theyve said absolutely nothing about the Cinemark posting means it's realWhy?
>>152999636I’m sure Goose is big mad because the description Cinemark put out gives enough of a hint about the shape of Episode 9.
>>152999636The smart business move is not address that type of shit.
>>152999640>>152999407>>152999404
>>152999646NTA but it's a big enough thing that could cause confusion and Glitch would want to put that sort of thing to rest ASAP if it wasn't real. Also Cinemark would've somehow been tricked into putting it up.
>>152998171They aren't Sims. Cogito ergo sum, you vantablack nigger.
>>152998787he's not talking about the WTC, he's talking about the iconic Daffy's clothing store that died with the advent of demartment megastores in the 2000s, we will never foger...
>>152999593If Glitch has a non-prime amount of neurons, they'll let her make all of them.
>>152999636The system (read: Fathom Entertainment) get punked by scam emails and they don't wanna step on toes by drawing attention to it.
>>152999608Everything that's happened is actually intentional. IRL Kinger keeps Caine around as a little lab experiment, seeing what he does the longer he's left running. His own old mindscan fucking with Caine has fucked it up so now it's all gonna get shut down. Everyone in the Circus dies when he wipes the drive and carries on with his life, where he has some modern derivative of Caine doing his bitchwork around his house so he can spend all day with Queenie.
>>152998043>VA made up a thing about a character they voiceSince when do they count. Also Jax would not.
>Well, I mean, I'm glad people seem to really have taken to this episode. It was my favorite to record and I mean, probably my favorite episode. I mean, like, biased as I am, it's got some incredible stuff, not just from Caine, but from everybody, as I made sure to bring up.>So, with that said, the finale awaits.>Uh, and regardless of how the finalel goes and like what people think of it, just bear in mind the kind of story that Goose is trying to tell cuz I've seen just I've seen some like some folks being a little angry that the show is not going in the exact direction that they want in terms of which characters get focused on more. >And it's like, yeah, at the end of the day, I think once the show is finished, judge the whole package on its own merits.>So, just have an open mind and I'm pretty sure people will come around to see what Goose was trying to do with this show.>The finale's got some of my favorite stuff. I think I would say my favorite scene in the show is in the last episode.
>>152999647What we learned is that some big dramatic reveal about the nature of the circus will come. That reveal will present an obvious choice for the characters, but a less obvious choice will reveal itself along the way.Also it’ll be dramatically heavy but have some laughs.
>>152999620>Rattie - 3
>>152999703Bracing for impact against the shippers and people who STILL think the gang is leaving the circus
>>152999696Goose gave Jax's voice actor permission to establish canon about Jax. It is a well known story which is why he gets harassed by people trying to make him say their favourite ships are real.
>>152999696>VAGooseworx is not Jax's VA anon...
>>152999723Buying EoEcoins
>>152999404>>152999658>tom fawkes is a v-tuber nowSince when did this happen? Yes, that is the first question I'm asking.
>>152999407>>152999404So it's going to be shit. Great
>>152999743>The entire cast temporarily combines into a single being and bear their soul to each other
>>152999686so if Glitch has 86,000,000,000,003 neurons divided among their 100 employees they won't let her make more shows?
>>152999213I’m saying that the tweet is an indirect reference to it. Goose isn’t being explicit about it but read between the lines and it reads like Goose is saying it’s out of their control since she only writes and directs the show. Glitch is the one who controls the schedule and would be the one responsible for a movie release.
>>152999703>I've seen some like some folks being a little angry that the show is not going in the exact direction that they want in terms of which characters get focused on more.So it is NOT a Ragahta episode.
>>152999779Well that delusion was fun for five minutes
>>152998171The idea is that their clone copies are real people and that the lives and worlds they lived in before are fundamentally impossible to return to. They can live in the digital world and be comfort to eachother or die (if abstraction is death idk). Goose has said he wants the takeaway to be that "there is value in a stagnant life". It's basically Maximum Copium for living a shitty day to day existence, never achieving your dreams etc. That the friendships we have, the games we play withh eachother, are reason enough to keep living.
>>152999760>combines into a single being and bearSCOTT CAWTHON DOES IT AGAIN BABY
The cast is leaving the circus, but they will never leave the digital world. The final credits sequence will be that chill grassy area in every credits scene but in 3D and there will be a more orchestral version of the usual end credits. Bittersweet ending.
>>152999790This except it isn’t copium it’s being an adult
>>152999802shut up SHUT UP

>So you guys know how you spent all that time coming up with your own theories on how things will end? Well fuck you guys, what you were expecting from the ending will be proven wrongAwesome writing Goose. Very cool.
>>152998202They gave Zooble a female voice actor so despite all the virtue signaling she's just a little too close to home and not as sexy as the singular asshole male.
>>152999810>they only think about their agenda
>>152999798KEK
Kek why are people so mindbroken over the soma theory
>>152999819What are you talking about, everyone predicted the SOMA shit because Goose couldn't keep her mouth shut
>>152999696>Also Jax would not.He uses they/them for Zooble lol
>>152999825>they're SPOILED
>>152999790that's some real Last Man shit right there
>>152999829It’s stupid and bad
>>152999850No, it isn't.
>>152998352This last panel kills me.
>>152999850Why is it stupid and bad? Use your words :)
>>152999810>>152999825>>152999840lol
>>152999840>MFW I get TADC movie spoiler
>>152999835The brainscan theory was something people were guessing since literally day one to the point where now it's treated like it's basically already confirmed
I'm pretty split between Tron and Soma but the people throwing autistic little fits over Soma because they kin the characters too hard makes me want it to be canon. These assholes aren't leaving the Circus anyway.
Every time a crew member tries to hype something up it’s never as extreme as what they said.I’m sure there will be some sort of angle that nobody caught, but overall it’ll be a narratively and thematically sensible ending.
>>152999829Wait where did Alex just say this?
In this house we believe that the cast were anally vored by the headset, body and all, before being transformed into digital avatars and plopped into the digital circus. The SOMA theory just doesn't make any sense
>>152999883I feel like there's no way Alex is telling the truth because there's no way he could've seen every theory. And no shit he's not gonna say it isn't Tron/Soma/pods. A lot of people are still saying it's Trona or a coma so I guess they're wrong too.
>>152999864Extra complication for no reason + muddies the themes of the series for no benefit
>>152999799Why is this formatted as a gif when it doesn't move?
>>152999881for my part I didn't realize so many people were still on the "brains are magic and can't be emulated" trainthem being brain scans doesn't mean they aren't people and individuals separate from their original selves
i really want to play a source engine map of The Circus
>>152998356It's not precluded but very unlikely given the vibes of the show have not lent themselves to a theme of fighting back against an evil dystopian corporation with advance cybertech. Afterall...why? To what purpose do they keep the scanned in people? Why have Caine generate them adventures? If there were some big bad at hand they should have been alluded to in some way by now. Sometimes a lack of evidence is evidence of improbability.
>>152999904I don't think it's any more complicated than Tron or theme being trapped in pods. In fact out of all three I think it's the least complicated.
>>152999829>>152999890https://x.com/StephanieG95180/status/2038015179594588177Saying clone theory is unlikely because of this seems like a stretch. But we'll see
>>152999835>everyoneNo.Tron
>>152998975>her
>>152999905it upsets autistic people which I find amusing
>>152999904Muddies the themes of the series? The series where Pomni treats Gummigoo as a person? The series about finding meaning in a stagnant life? The series where Caine keeps worrying about AIs getting too smart or indistinguishable from humans? That series?
>>152999908People are letting their feelings about real LLM slop companies influence their moral judgement about theoretical fictional machine consciousness.
>>152999904Question: If it turned out the characters are brain scans would you suddenly not believe they are people worthy of empathy and rights and all other such things?
>>152999896Is this actually what tron is about? Sounds dumb.
>>152999914>fighting back against an evil dystopian corporation with advance cybertechThat was how MD started but by the second episode it became about fighting an eldritch horror or something
>>152999916Not really humans + other thems out there that we don’t know the fate of + their history outside the circus is a lie + validates Jax’s toxic worldview that nothing is real + reframes the entire series from humans making a human life in an alien existence to temporarily confused digital beings becoming unconfused
>>152998459I love that she did this. It was such a nice break from "let's all talk about our feelings and tell eachother how important we are". She caught him on his bullshit and beat the shit out of him.
>>152999881I was holding out for TRON but>Ragatha being part of a group>"a new human mind">"mind files">brain scans folderPretty definitively pushes it to SOMA>>152999883SEXO
For how heated you people get about it I don't really see what the point of the Soma twist would be beyond "it would explain the logistics of why nobody's found their bodies"
>>152999936>People are letting their feelings about real LLM slop companies influence their moral judgement about theoretical fictional machine consciousness.You know I hadn't even thought of that angle.It's funny, AI has always been a marketing term more than anything else (actual researchers specify AGI for actual sapience), a way to trick customers into thinking your basic smoke and mirrors in a black box was the equivalent of a person. Now LLM slop has completely tainted its value as such.
>>152999916It's the one that brings up the annoying question of whether they're human at all.
>>152999962It’s just shock value and an answer just to have one.It doesn’t benefit the series at all.
>>152998593>"Fear is a really funny emotion."
>alright, but you better buy the new TADC Merch>or I'll fucking shoot myself in the head and make you all watch.
>>152999962It's because a Soma ending would be too fucking depressing for our little cast of silly characters
>>152999948>their history outside the circus is a lieIt's not though>validates Jax’s toxic worldview that nothing is real Everything they've experienced is real. Zooble basically says it to the camera.
>>152999879You get brainscanned as you, your consciousness, get pulled into the computer, yes
>>152999962There is nowhere to escape to, they never owned the bodies they believe to have been theirs.They are philosophically indistinguishable from Gummigoo, and Caine whom they just murdered.Jax being proven right that none of this is "real."It has real thematic and narrative consequence.
>>152999883Pomni has Molly McGee paws.
>>152999994ok what happened to their bodies then if they got sucked into the circus? why did caine change them?>he doesn't know what a human looks like nuhhmildenhalls say otherwise
>>152999994Oooooor they just are copies of those consciousness
>>152999163Ganglefags in shambles
>>152999948>not really humansof course they are>other thems out therewhat about them? they're not the characters we've followed>their history outside the circus is a lieWhat? That's not implied anywhere and is mutually exclusive with your last claim.>validates Jax's idea that it isn't realAnon I think you somehow lack a basic understanding of what real means. Everything that happened in the Circus was real. It happened, and it happened to people (and Caine). That it happened in representational form on a computer makes no difference.I mean, do you really think what you see is how reality actually exists?>it reframes the entire series!It really doesn't, you're inventing disparity where there is none.
do you think everyone in the Circus would be happier if they were given free stupid sauce?
>>153000000
>>152999931None of that is interesting if the setting forces the characters to be digital beings like Gummigoo. It’s no longer Man reconciling with machine, but confused machine reconciling with itself.>>152999939I can accept that in a science fiction universe, electronic beings have a real inner life and are people. That’s not the problem. The problem is that it rids the characters of agency by turning their story of the human spirit conquering a digital prison and finding a meaningful life there into a cheap fix by forcing them to be digital natives who were just mistaken as to their identity. The thing they were fighting to preserve was just an illusion.
>>153000029> It’s no longer Man reconciling with machine, but confused machine reconciling with itself.the theme of the story is not the theme you want it to be
Btw, for anyone wanting to know where that Alex clip came from, it's from this live reaction to Episode 8 by Tom Fawkes.https://youtu.be/IvGJTgV0Lu0
>>153000014That would suck and be a terrible revelation after everything we've seen and leave the audience with a very hollow feeling.>>153000011They got digitized. Open your mind to science fiction.
>>153000007>Scratch, the first abstraction
>>153000037That’s not the core theme of the story, but it is a sub-theme of what the story has done thusfar.
>>152999948>Not really humansWhat makes you human?
>>152999300I know Gooseworx drew picrel
>>153000052Then what is the core theme of the story
>>153000023Why do you copy people fight so hard?
>>152999943In Tron there's secret DARPA tech laserbeams that turn matter directly into data.
>>152997841Just binged the entire show in one day, i wish someone would punch that dumbass purple rabbit out of the stratosphere I liked when pomni called caine a bitch ass loser that was very cool
>>153000047>They got digitized. Open your mind to science fiction.Why would Caine make them bodies if they already had them?
I hope the SOMA theory is right and Jax knows his flesh body is dead because he went to C&A to kill himself. I want to see the meltdowns.
>>153000058She probably wanted to fuck Lyle at some point now that I think about it
I'm reminded of a cartoon that ended a few years ago with the main character dying and explicitly being replaced by a clone, and everybody hated it so much that the entire fanbase collectively convinced themselves that her "soul" was "transferred" into the clone despite this not being mentioned even once.
>>153000048I think of AoStH Scratch instead of the Molly McGee one.
>>153000063Did they remember to invent a reverse data to matter laser?Otherwise, that's just Pantheon.
Tronfags are also wrong because Alex said nobody had guessed it. So that means we're getting something like "it was never real from the start".
>>153000080If anyone of the IRL circus members were to be dead it'd be Gangle
>>152999505Sounds like a name Chris would make up in the Ding Dong and Julian era.
>>153000029>The problem is that it rids the characters of agencyIf this is your argument you don't know what the word agency is.Let's ignore for a moment that the actual themes are obviously more to do with coping with life and accepting that small and personal connections are what we get and should appreciate rather than the grand impacts we hoped to make-The idea that finding a meaningful life in the Circus is in any way different because these brains happen to not have meat bodies is simply unfounded. It's a bare assertion that hints at your internal bias but isn't explained in the slightest.>The thing they were fighting to preserveThey haven't been "fighting to preserve" anything but their sanity, anon. You've invented an entire secondary reading of the show that is seemingly based entirely in your own personal biases.Read more books. Pay attention in English class.
>>153000062why do you see a basic argument over fact/interpretation as a fight?
>>153000061The show is about finding meaning in a stagnant life. In particular, the thesis statement is an answer to Satre’s No Exit. Hell is other people, but through the hard work of empathy and communication, it can be Heaven too. In other words, the message is that existing with others hurts us because of our neuroses and differences, but it’s worth putting in the effort to pick each other up and connect because if you embrace the struggle that is other people, that’s where existential meaning can be found in the day to day. It’s a story about the friction between humans forced to exist amongst each other, and how best to navigate that to happiness.
You guys are making too many crazy theories, i think jax just knows hes a terminally online gay loser that no one likes irl so he doesnt want to go back to the real world
>>153000081honestly if I were a bad bitch, I'd want to fuck him too
>>153000088The laser just happens to have a reverse mode. I don't remember if that's explained in any way.
Real jax would be posting here on 4chan, probably in this thread too
>>153000123But he's a gay friendless loser in the circus, too. He wouldn't freak out over a lateral move.
Jax and Pomni being lovers is as absurd as Kim possible and Ron Stoppable being lovers, they are just friends, goawd
>>153000106All wrong.Either the characters do the hard work to grow themselves, or they are hit with a sledgehammer twist that robs them of that arc (ackshually this is always where you belonged, stop worrying about it!)>They haven’t fought for anythingThey’ve fought to preserve their humanity in inhumane conditions.You aren’t as smart as you think you are.
>>153000139Think of it, he could be any of us, he could be in this thread at this very moment

>>153000141Yes but atleast in the circus he can pretend to be someone that hes not, he can pretend to be the funny one
>>153000029The show ReBoot is about digital people and their lives and we cared about them. BUT, we knew that, from the start and that was the premise.To suddenly in the very minute tell the audience that the characters we've been following who we've been told over and over are trapped humans are just digital copies would be fairly disappointing and meaningless. It would work if the show either told us earlier or it was just a 90 minute movie cause a twist ending like this doesn't work in long form.
It's not SOMA, it's actually DDS
>>153000148Jax is a loathsome prick but I wish girls liked me half as much as they like Jax.
>>153000155>>153000141at least in the circus he's not 5'3" and doesn't live in his car

>>153000147I'm exactly as smart as I think I am.You're making massive leaps in logic based on internal biases that you refuse to expound upon, and I would recommend that if you want to actually move forward in your understanding rather than just jack off to your own ruminations you should interrogate those biases.What, precisely, is the difference between a person in a pod trapped in the circus finding a way to cope with being stuck there forever vs a brain scan trapped in the exact same way?Don't fall back on references or vaguery, don't appeal to "story arcs" you invented, tackle the question philosophically.Go.

>>153000190>>153000168A lot of people make the mistake of assuming someone's fantasy is what they actually want.That's because they're fools who have never considered that, in a fantasy, literally everything is under the person's control. They're not and CAN'T be in danger or get embarrassed or scared.

Tron is the better answer.The difference is that if the characters are singly instanced biological organisms that actually had a human existence robbed from them, their effort to find a personally acceptable existence in their new digital reality is something they must authentically discover on their own. If instead they become suddenly aware through an epic sauce twist that they are digital natives with a hallucinated backstory, then the circus has always been their home, and their clinging to their humanity is the problematic falsehood they have to move past. It turns the humans stuck in a digital world show into a confused digital organism show.

>>153000266BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!!!!!!
>>152998780I'm genuinely not sure what people expected to happen. Caine has been torturing them already, and he HAS had them try to talk it out before. Zooble did. Any time she airs her real problem, he acts like it didn't happen. Granted, that part may be interference from whatever really killed Caine, but it's not like Caine is literally a cute child capable of no real harm.
>>153000259Baboon saying anything:

>>153000269>The difference is that if the characters are singly instanced biological organisms that actually had a human existence robbed from themLet's ignore that you just started with a fucking ifThe characters as brain scans are singly instanced organisms that actually had a human existence robbed from them, the only thing they're not is organic. So we've at least found one bias: you believe there is something unique about being organic. Stupid.>Their effort to-I asked you to refrain from appealing to story arcs you made up and to approach the question philosophically. You have utterly failed, but fuck it let's continue anyway.>finding peace is something they'll have to figure out on their own (if they're organic)Why would it be different for a brain scan with a person's memories? What is so magical to you about carbon?>If they become aware that they are brain scans then the circus has always been their homeAnd? That doesn't make coping with it any different at all. Why would it? You seem to be making some kind of naturalistic fallacy, some fallacy of "belonging" to the world, but you're absolutely terrible at explaining yourself.My best guess from your ramblings is that you're stuck on the unfounded assumption that them being digital natives makes any difference to them because of a weird internal bias/philosophy about intrinsic belonging.Read more books.
>>153000341Calling it stupid and bad is not the same as denying it.The evidence suggests a soma direction, though it is not in beyond reasonable doubt territory yet.
>>153000341Well forget Soma theory because Alex said that none of us are right about the ending, I guess.
If the big endgame twist really would change so little about the story, what's the point of doing it?
>>153000319I actually agree on this, i came here thinking the show was pretty straightforward i wasnt expecting everyone here to be fighting over everything
>>153000341It just can't rucking beIf it's true then TADC ending would be like the chainsaw man ending of indie animation
>>153000367I think Alex might be on the spectrum
>>152999838That's cause he doesn't know what Zooble is
>>153000339desu nothing about this screams womanGruntila lookin assDon't you think it's a little WEIRD they never show their face in any TADC related interview?
>>153000390He is but how is that relevant
>>153000364You're denying that it's real by saying it's stupid. You're denying the theory about if your retarded understanding of the story.Or do you just assume everyone who talks about Soma theory got it from a youtuber?
>>153000399If he didn't care he'd latch onto the fact that Zooble's voice is feminine and just call her a her. Like we do.
>>153000401Why do you care
>>152999736That's insane. I'd sooner cut out a man's tongue than let him dictate my characters
>>153000321Funnybunny is actually extremely lacking in the subtext and hints department, especially compared to abstragedy.
>>153000269If you take a human being and through the power of sci-fi bullshit manage to create a digital copy of them that is both sapient and shares the exact same memories and personality, why is one human and not the other?
>>153000413get back to running your gay little show goose
>>153000383When did anyone say it was a twist?Why do people think them being brain scans is a twist?Even if someone said the final episode has a twist, why would that be it?You kids operate on mountains of assumptions
>>153000429Answer the question
>>153000418Michael doesn't do anything with that because he's so nice lol, that's the joke.
>>153000367He said the ending was barely hinted at and that’s true for the SOMA theory. Episode 8 we get small glimpses about mind scans in the code.
Alex has a pretty good voice for a tard
>>152999802Well no because we live in a real world and can still achieve our dreams rather than give up. A stagnant life is just prolonged rotting.
>>153000340Anon…. The 500 year old loli vampire trope exists for a reason. Pomni is a small moe girl aka a loli. She even gets called a child too.
>wtf why doesn't Godot show up in Waiting for Godot, this is bullshit
>>152999900He’s very online so I would think that he’s seen all the big ones (and probably a lot of the more obscure ones as well)
>>152999736>>153000418This is fairly normal, alot of times characters are outright changed because the VA gives a better perspective on how he should be portrayed, im pretty sure that sort of happened with darth vader
>>153000442And other theories has more credibility because....
>>153000361>Read more books.Nigger, you are in a theorycrafting thread about a cartoon for manchildren directed by a DeviantArt tranny pornographer.
>>153000457>500 year old loli vampirePsuedo loli, older than they look, smalldom
If goose was based she'd make a twink faggot that gets passed around by bara mannequin, unfortunately everyone in this show is straight as fuck except zoobs.
>>153000432Because it would be a "twist" on the initial premise that they're humans trapped in virtual reality
We calling 25 year old grown ass women loli now Jesus Christ go back to twitter
>>152999939It's sort of annoying that all the drama could have spared if SOMEONE had just told them. The show has run mystery this entire time.
>>153000501.....how much of a newfag are you?
confirmed
>>153000496>because it'd be a twist on what I mistakenly assumed was the premiseneato burrito
>>152999939Yes. Kill all roboniggers
If Knuckles the echidna was in the circus, he'd punch his way out and return to guarding the master emerald, fyi.
>>153000511Pomni has two hands.
>>153000496Some twists are just lame and very hard to make good, like the whole "it was all a dream!!" thingHard to believe she can give a satisfying end with all of them dying or being permanently trapped on the virtual reality
>Read more booksI mean, if people did read more books they wouldn't waste their time on this show, because it's not that great.
>>153000501Loli does not equal age. It’s about appearance not their actual age.
>>153000501>>153000508People are calling Sean Penn a pedophile for dating a 30 year old who looks like Bennedict Cumberbatch
I think the digital circus is probably not SOMA but Source code/Sonny boy in nature, where the players minds are displaced in time/in an alternate reality.The ending will probably be them returning to their bodies at the exact time period where they entered thus not being able to meet people, with Kinger probably dying before everyone else.
>>153000532Sean Penn's bi?
>>153000530You are confusing loli and lolita.
>>153000527i really like his feet
>>153000508Hahaha yeah newfag epic awesome 4chan memes haha now go back to your friends https://twitter.com/>>153000532I dont know who that is if im being honest with you
>>152999986The entire show has been a prolonged metaphor of Goose realizing the Matrix is in fact not real and this boring ass reality and his nuts and ballsack are what's really real. The reality is so banal and disappointing he needs to have convinced himself that the fictional life he's created for himself roleplaying online is VALID.
>>153000154Jaxcels...
>>153000542I could see this but Kinger would be in his mid-60s in 2017 lol, unless he died in 9/11 or got cancer he'd still be around.
>>153000556Retard, lolicons originated on 4chan.
>>153000547ho, his girlfriend is just ugly
Whats with you guys and goose, thats a weird way of talking about the creator
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FY0Pt9fyxY>human soulsUh-oh
>>153000529It's not even that good!
>>153000556Sean Penn or Bennedict Cumberbatch?I didn't realize children were allowed on this site
>>153000570Lmfao
>>153000513So you're purporting that actually they were unambiguously copies from the start?
>>153000578no wonder why it has millions of viewspeople love their low quality slop
>>153000574god caine looks rough here
>>153000029I think that's a fair reading. The ultimate theme of the story might be better understood as "be good to eachother were all we have". These stories about reality/fiction don't always stick the landing.
>>153000589Ok, I'm being dishonestLolis only got popular in the west because of 4chan.
>>153000057My species
>>153000565I could see goose pulling some tearjerker shit where kinger is dead, but only if his wife is the one that tells the circus members about itSo maybe it won't happen
>>153000529Thats not true, i like TADC and i read books, the only thing it would change if people here read is that half of the dumb takes here wouldnt exist>>153000586Sorry for not knowing your boomer actors or whatever
>>153000627>I read booksSuch as?

>>153000361>Let’s ignore that you explore two divergent hypotheticals as suchOk.>The characters as brain scans are singly instanced organisms that actually had a human existence robbed from themWrong. They would be digital clones hallucinating an existence that wasn’t theirs, and it’s this hallucination that causes them pain, rather than the new circumstances they find themselves in. It’s the difference between an internal reframing being the right answer (I’m not a real boy and that’s okay because I’m where I belong, so my meaning has come to me) vs an external struggle being the right answer (we can find meaning here because we are real boys and through participation in the world around us and each other we can still leave meaningfully, we will forge our meaning).(1/2)

>>153000636(2/2)>What’s 2+2 and don’t say 4 give me a REAL answerYour framing is irrelevant to the discussion because it isn’t related to the criticism I’m making. For someone so self confidently literate you’ve seem to miss that.>Why would it be differentBecause in one possibility the characters find their place in the digital world themselves through hard work, self growth, communication, empathy and perseverance, and in the other possibility an epic sauce twist tells them that they are already where they belong and they just need to stop being confused circus natives and, like, let go maaaan. Carbon has nothing to do with it (this is your own internal bias hallucinating what you think I mean instead of listening btw).>And?And it robs the characters of finding their meaning in the circus themselves, instead their suddenly revealed circumstances railroad their existences into a specific box that they can stop coping over now.>This is what I think you mean: [wrong]Maybe you should actually read what I post instead of making up what you want to respond to, ESPECIALLY if you want to frame yourself as more literate.>>153000411You’re denying it’s real by saying it’s stupid.Stupid decisions get made in stories. You can be both real and stupid.Read more books.
Scratch, because he's a maniac, made a tunnel to a different, but empty, world. They're not stuck in a computer. They aren't brainscans. They got isekai'd. Scratch's plan was to have them make this empty reality however they wanted and live forever.But Caine got there first.
>>153000080>Jax melting down bc he went to C&A to commit suicide >reality is he walked away and is now working at Spudsy's >meanwhile Rags died years ago of covid
>>153000592That was my assumption from the very beginning, personally, but I quickly realized that whether they were brain scans or pod people or whatever didn't matter in the slightest to the story that was actually being told. It's completely irrelevant to the human stakes. What matters is these people find themselves trapped in this new world and there is no escape and they have to find a way to cope (in each other).
>>153000123Trans Jax is real but it's the other way around. His real name is Agatha
>>152998178The two weeks leading up to an episode are max hype too, so everyone having to stay off the internet for that time would be series suicideidk how or why it'd be fake, but I just can't see how it could possibly be real
>>152998218that smilethat damn smile
>>153000264Touche.
>>153000636>Wrong. They would be digital clones hallucinating an existence that wasn’t theirsA meaningless distinction, for perception is reality.You could be a boltzmann brain that has existed for all of ten picoseconds but that would make no difference to you, you would still feel and BE as real as a prolonged existence.This is extremely basic philosophy, anon. Are you one of them fucking Christian Apologists or something? Wacky fuckers.>An internal reframing would fix everythingThat's absurd. The knowledge that they're brain scans would in no way help them cope with their situation, that you think it would is quite baffling. Do you really think that if suddenly Bubble popped up in front of you while you're reading this and said "lol you just started existing and you're not a real bot" you'd go "sounds good to me a derp derp derp!"?>>153000652>Finding their place in the digital world is easy if they're brain scans despite there being no functional differenceYeah, I think we can stop reading your posts here because we identified the core of your retardation a while back.

>>153000759>perception is realityA clone experiencing a hallucination doesn’t make them their hallucination. A hypothetical Soma’d Pomni is not the physical Pomni, that distinction is the truth statement of that set up. The rest of what you said is appealing to your own bias and ego.>An internal reframing would fix everythingNot stated, but it would railroad their arcs in the final hour. Bad faith presentation is not an argument.>knowledge that they're brain scans would in no way help them cope with their situationWhy not? They now have been handed the answers to any lingering questions they have about their nature, the outside, their future prospects, etc that eat at them every day. The news would be shocking at first, but it severs what’s been causing them to struggle throughout the series and railroads existential acceptance (by their very circumstances, rather than by their effort as growing characters picking each other up and finding meaning in each other).>Yeah, I think we—Another for the Jimmy Neutron complex bingo card. (you) are not everyone, or the arbiter of how others think or consider ideas.You are not worth conversing with.

Really fuck up. The digital copies theory is dumb and lame.
>>153000966>>153000966>A clone experiencing a hallucination doesn’t make them their hallucination.
