bald
I love cute (technically bald) Zoobs
What part of this says "movie" again?
So true besties
Is this show good or is it "Woke"?
Zooble probably has one of those big energy drink can collections irli also have one we can bond over heartfailure. how heartfelt
>>153003253It's woke. Now go away
>>153003250That's a 25 year old woman
>>153003238I think you misheard. They said " move E". They were fixing a sign.
>>153003238Nothing? The movie thing is a rumor that the last episode is going to be merged with episode 8 and screened in theaters.
>>153003238https://web.archive.org/web/20260327053923/https://www.cinemark.com/movies/the-amazing-digital-circus-the-last-act
>>153003250is this epstein's alt account?
>>153003279It’s not even a rumor. Cinemark put up the listing itself which makes it legit and it was probably announced too early. The fact that Glitch nor Cinemark has said anything about it or said it’s fake means it’s likely legit.
>>153003330Not really. Like why would Glitch adress rumors like this ever?Do you see movie studios address every leak that comes out?
>>153003250Funnbunny? More like cunnybunny
>>153003356If it’s a fake leak, yes. Like it’s an employee who did it as a prank but this is a listing that went up too early. People are denying it because it means that spoilers will run wild for 2 weeks and people outside the US won’t be able to see it.
>melting down about the movie again lol, the agoraphobics seethe about this
>>153003221Don't post this ever again, I hate Zooble and it makes me like her a little bit
Why can't Glitch or Goosewhorex just deny it if it's fake?
>>153003257Triangle head=tranny shitNooseworx can't help himself
>>153003301Epstein was a /u/fag.
>>153003250>SuperBearNeoIsn’t that the guy who makes shitty powerscaling videos?
>>153003253Zooble is a canon non-binary they/them if that counts
>>153003253I don’t recall any woke stuff in the show
>>153003544Zooble canonically doesn't remember what she was before ending up in Clown Hell.
I don't entirely believe Zooble's an enby, she's more than likely a girl back on earth but is the only one to suffer this rare mind file glitch where she can't remember what gender and genitals she had.
>>153003565It doesn’t work like that, they all remember their part lives. Even if they didn’t, Zooble’s voice is an obvious giveaway. She’s just enby
Does ANYONE in the circus even remember how they used to look like?
Embarrassing public love confession to Ragatha
>>153003625Goose said it worked like that for her.

>>153003643Literally just lying
>>153003395>People are denying it because it means that spoilers will run wild for 2 weeks and people outside the US won’t be able to see it.Actually, about that. Apparently the South America Cinemark Instagram account assadently made this post. What does this mean, idk.
>>153003676It was in the post about how any pronouns are acceptable with Zooble, for that reason.
>>153003681Who is that nigga next to ragatha and why isn't that me
>>153003681Ragatha’s lovechild with anon…
>>153003356>Like why would Glitch adress rumors like this ever?Probably because it made it onto cinemark for starters
>>153003253Woke cartoon chuddy
Do you think any of the Circus members actually care about or have any sympathy for Caine? Like, if he somehow got injured, and was walking around hurt, would they try to help him?
>>153003698It wasn’tStop being retarded and just accept that you like a tranny show, it’s fine, no one cares
>>153003730Kinger
>>153003730Pomni would if she saw it directly, and Kinger cares.They’ll all care once they understand him in episode 9.
>>153003730Only Kinger would feel for Caine because he helped create himThe rest would go "LMAO RIP BOZO"
Ragatha is so similar to me and my close friend that I was really upset during the time the whole fanbase hated her.
>>153003730All except Jax, probably. Despite their grievances with him they don't hate HIM, they just hate the high-octane adventures he forces them to go on. Pomni and Zooble said they liked the low-stakes ones like Stargazing and Film Noir Bar, but that just bores Caine because they're both not his ideas and he wants to see action, so he doesn't often do that.
Tron theory mentioned!
>>153003819“The people are retarded”
>>153003819People hated her?
>>153003819I'm still upset that she's not getting the amount of important things to do that I had hoped
What would they do if they saw Caine crying and hunched over with an injury?
>>153003681>assadentlyI've seen you post this a couple times now you faggot this isn't cute, it makes you sound like a 12 year old trying to fit in amongst adults on a forum.

>>153003832>Bright (2017)I didn't really mind that movie too much. Will smith is washed up, but the movie's idea was really interesting. The execution was just bland.
>>153003819I’m really similar to Jax and Ragatha, and the hurt I feel whenever people just tear them to shreds has made me realise I actually do have the capacity for self-compassion, and that what I’ve always thought of as self-loathing is really just shame and fear of being shamed
>>153003893I watched the entire thing like 2 days ago and in no moment i hated any of the characters aside from jax so this is surprising
>>153003915Nigger. You accusing me of something I haven't done. Go look at the file and compare it to the one you keep seeing.
>>153003891I don't remember them looking like that

We should rape Jax.

>>153003681That teapot makes me irrationally mad.
>>153004312why tf you taking meds in the dark
Zooble and Jax are a boy and girl of the same age, they should marry and reproduce
Why do I feel like the bright movie tweet is some retarded clue to what will happen in the final?

>>153004346Because you're taking a shitpost too seriously. Though to be fair, the majority of TADC do as well.
>>153004376Uh who is 'her'?
fondle Jax
>>153004354if Jax is Max is Pomni Sam
>>153003730>>153003829Concern for Caine is dulled by the fact he never shows emotional vulnerability. Caine "acting up" is usually anger, it's not like Jax who sometimes mellows out or tries having normal conversations. During the Abel episode none of them display issues with the idea of abandoning Caine. They could care about Caine but he acts completely inhuman.Ironically I think Zooble saw Caine at his most vulnerable during the therapy session. Caine basically said that his self-esteem was tied to his ability to create, which then led to self-reflection and the circus glitching out. But Zooble is the one who continued to snark at Caine and even dismissed him as not human. Zooble probably sees engaging with Caine as too dangerous.

It just doesn't make sense, how did the operating system TADC takes place in survive for whole fucking decades if the building was abandoned like how Pomni implies it is in episode 5
>>153004454>watching reaction videosMost low-life normie form of "creator content".

>>153004394>They could care about Caine but he acts completely inhuman.He acts like an autismo with abandonment issues and zero sense of self-worth.
>>153004468no it's good content they called her a crumbl cookie too
>>153004394>Concern for Caine is dulled by the fact he never shows emotional vulnerability. A big part of it is that he has the power to shift the subject or screw with their reality as a defense unlike Jax, so they didn’t keep trying emotional honesty with him and taking on all the risk until they had nothing left to lose. If the power difference is mitigated after they can all “conjure”, at least half of them will be motivated to help him out of decency already I think, despite the torture

>>153004538I just want to say I absolutely hate Pox
>>153004538Qrd me on KittenSneeze.
>>153004527What if he had tummy ache?
>>153004394Caine isn’t the easiest “person” to connect with, but I still think Jax is even harder. At least Caine had the inherent desire to please the humans, even if he was often selfish and moronic due to his limitations as an AI. If they framed their requests in a way that made him feel useful and appreciated, I think it wouldn’t have ended so badly. Meanwhile, Jax has no motivation to please anybody. When people reach out to him, he usually turns it down in the rudest way possible, even if they try to get down to his level (like Pomni being “evil” with him during the gun episode). Caine would have killed to have just one person go along with his plans as enthusiastically as Pomni’s went along with Jax’s.
>mfw my circussona would have no hands
>>153004538The fuck is this?
>>153003832It's weird for Goose to be saying this right after Alex was talking about how difficult the last episode is to predict because its developments are barely alluded to
>>153004592do they at least have arms and legs?
>>153004578how would you have a tummy ache isnt it all digitaldigital tummyache?how is that simulated?
>>153004463Caine is running the place and improvising what he can to accommodate the humans and secure the circus doesn't shut down
>>153004618I’m more inclined to believe Alex since I’ve never seen him lie about anything. Whereas Goose lies every day
>>153004622he got a stomach virus (a digital virus that ended up in his stomach)
>>153004591But Caine turns down connection too. Ragatha literally tries to give him a list of things they love about him and he wasn’t interested. Jax couldn’t even get a word in on their date, to the point that he just shut down and stopped listening. Zooble had a whole therapy session with him that got nowhere.Jax is difficult, but he’s slowly changing, and we see it a lot in this episode. He benefits a lot from being an actual human and not having god-like powers at his disposal, he can only deny his vulnerabilities so much before he’s forced to accept them. Caine’s trapped in th box the humans put him in, there’s not really a workable rout out of there, wanting it isn’t enough because he’s not capable of following through on any branch given to him.
>>153004678>being an actual human>he lacks critical information
>>153004618Two things can be true at once. The ending can be largely unpredictable, and people can be largely ignoring the narrative thus far.
if the ending doesnt match my delusions, then its not canon
>>153004703It’s gonna be so embarrassing for goose if she gets the ending wrong, I hope she read my blog
I hate that he’s called Freak Jax in the merch, it’s so genericPeeled Jax is much better
>>153004074That was the execution. The idea was "fantasy grown up to the modern world".
>>153004595It's a "personality swap."
>>153004675did bubble come from caine burping?
>>153004678This is just my interpretation but in the “date” with Jax I got the impression that he was only so hyper because this is the first time Jax has ever willingly spent time with him. Contrast that with Zooble, where he seems more chill and even opens up a little (in a roundabout way). We can assume they spent more time together since we know Zooble confided in him in the past and because they don’t like to go on adventures (hence leaving them alone in the circus with Caine). I have a feeling that he’d be like that more often with more people if they made it a habit to “include” him in things. Being an advanced AI, he could maybe even be incentivized to behave more normally if that makes them more conducive to his adventures. He does have godlike powers, but he’s easily manipulated even in his final form.
>>153003730I don't see how that would happen but everyone would definitely take an interest. Hell, they would even if he seemed sad or scared. It's just that that would be combined with skepticism that he's doing a bit.
We should force Jax into Digital Prostitution.
What if they asked Caine to be the patient so they could play doctor on him? What would he do and what injuries/illnesses would he pretend to have?
Pomni doesnt need a lobster pick to get at the meat from deep inside a lobster claw
>>153004618Goose is writing it so things that seem obvious to her may be going over the audience’s head including Alex, it doesn’t mean much either way. The suggestion that she sees people talking about the show are picking up on relevant ideas but dismissing them is more interesting imo, whether she’s correct or not it means she has seen things floated in discussion that might merit more attention.
>>153004744Caine seems to have a thing about calling humans he's pissed off at freaks (seems to be a term that's especially hurt him when used against him in the past so he started using it himself; might Scratch, his creator, have called him that and that's why it hurts him?), so it fits.
>>153004840uhhh... those little floaties, does pomni not know how to swim?
I want to see Pomni’s butt
>>153003893Total sloptuber death
>>153004850She should given what we saw in episode 7
>>153003253It isn't really woke the way I understand that term which admittedly isn't very well.Zooble is a they/them but it is because her form is so wonky that she isn't sure what she even is and there is a lot of crossdressing fanservice for the rabbit but that is just because the creator very blatantly wants to fuck him.Granted I would struggle to call it genuinely good either way but it has it's moments.
>>153004883maybe beach merch pomni can't swim but in show pomni can?!
Episode 9 ending.
>>153004083No-one's gay for Bizco
>>153004783If they let him come up with the disease he has, it would probably be something creepy and unrealistic, like a sci fi zombie virus or something. Since he seems to have a fixation on those kinds of sensational macabre topics. He would be a shit actor but would probably enjoy being taken care of until he inevitably gets bored in 20 minutes tops.
>>153004928I'm gay for Bizco...
>>153004909not even a footguy, but i bet pomni has some cute feet
>>153004909>>153004952Someone post that comic of Jax liking Pomni's feet.
>>153004963That comic is cringe and foot fags are cringe
>>153004963DONT LISTEN TO HIM. IM TRYING TO LIMIT MY MASTURBATING TO ONCE A WEEK!!
I think one impediment to the cast relating to Caine is that I'm pretty sure everyone but Kinger thought that Caine was just an administrative AI running a game some other people played. Though honestly if they did know that literally every aspect of the circus was his choice, including the general aesthetic, they would probably be more nervous and angry.
Trust the plan Kaufmasters. Our guy is the key to all of this.

>>153003832If Goose ISN'T talking about alternatives to clone theory, then I wonder what this could be about.
>>153005365does it have to do with the fact her posterior is the most superior?
>>153005368What kind of games do you think Ragatha would like?
Don't cry Ragatha, it's not like Goose COMPLETELY forgot about you.At least your not Gangle
>>153005229>there's even a Gangle-like
I had a dream about the ending of TADC. It was a worldwide event where I was walking in public and everyone stopped to check their phone. I was watching on my phone but the battery was running dry so I had to go to a bar where they were having a watch party.It climaxed in a bunch of government agents jacking in to rescue the cast, who were stuck in comas irl, but the way to exit the dream was an explicit orgy between the cast and the jarhead randos, overloading the system and shocking them awake the bar was dead silent taking in the grossly explicit and trippy sex sequence that broke reality the overall impression was that we were witnessing kino to the nth degree.
>>153005351Why was he such a retarded faggot?

>>153005380Ragatha does not play videogames because it's not ladylike
>>153005380Seems like the type of being really into horse games as a child
>>153005386What are you talking about? Gangle was the emotional core of the last episode.
>>153005380Animal CrossingNintendogsLego IslandRunescapeHarvest Moon 64I will not elaborate
>>153005416What type of men is pic related made for?
>>153005380whatever arcade games she could play in laundromat or the 7-11 since her mother did not allow such trite, useless drivelry on her palatial estate. (in my delusions, she would love the raiden series and metal slug)
>>153003202I dread that it's just a SOMA twist/ending. I don't mind if they pull a IHNMAIMS and Jax kills everyone else to free them, leaving himself, victorious but imprisoned eternally.But I just don't want it to be SOMA. I don't want it to just be brain scans and the real people just went "Huh weird" and left immediately after and it's just scanned brain AIs fucking around until they break.The biggest point against it being SOMA is in 7 when "Abel" draws up the plans, he shows giant tank things that they're "in", and assuming that was "Honest" and not just something Caine made up because it "Sounds plausible for people who want to escape" then they really are "In" the game, or at least, wired up to it.If that's the case I think It's probably near suspended animation, delaying aging, wounds, death. Jax was probably in a car crash during a car attack and climbed in to save his life, Scratch likely designed it and got in because of his tumor being lethal. Everyone else might be able to leave but Jax might just bite it and that'll be the "Big sacrifice tear jerker" and it'll be a decision between staying or leaving, at the cost of Jax.
>>153005448At this point it *not* being Soma would cause a bigger crashout.

>>153005458Do people actually want it or is it just the "Most popular theory" because Goose said the "message" was about finding meaning in a stagnant life?
>>153005482Somafags give off the impression that they just want to be right. I have not seen an argument that persuasively suggests how Soma theory enhances the narrative.
>>153005380shes the god of solitaire (her family computer does not have video games)
>>153005380She'd love Silent Hill, though I think Clock Tower would be a little too triggering for her.
Can’t stop thinking about Ragatha
>>153005448But why though? Why is it such a big deal that the people we've been watching are the originals? Or is it more that you just want a distinct end point?
Gangle"You know Jax has been in such a good mood lately, when i dropped my comedy mask yesterday he caught it and actually gave it back to me"Ragatha"Yeah, he even got through the whole polo adventure without hitting anyone with the hammer, it's so great to see him back to his old self"Zooble"Really? I wonder what got into him, he returned all the parts he's stolen over the years, any idea why he's suddenly been in such a good mood, Pomni?"Pomni"W-what? me? nah, no idea at all, anyway, uh, the next adventure is the orient express, a 3 day adventure, boy sure sounds relaxing"Gangle"Yeah I wonder if we could ask caine to give us double rooms and pair up with someone"Zooble"What do you think Pomni, let's go ask Caine"Pomni"uhhhh"
>>153005448What if it starts off with SOMA but veers off into /x/ stuff with DMT machine elves or something?
>>153005386>your
>>153005523I can tell this is self insert Jax cringe without even reading it
So, the finale screening on cinemas 2 weeks before the actual release is Glitch totally trying to fuck with Goose, right?
>>153005482>Do people actually want itNo, it would be soul crushing, even more so for the younger tadc fans, but its the most likely endingGoose acting like "OH BOY YOU ARE STUPID AS HELL FOR NOT SEEING WHAT IS LITERALLY IN FRONT OF YOU" which it seems to be a Soma ending only for then turning out to be a completely different thing would be a spiteful move to put it mildly
Bros I can't stand the SOMA theory. It's so boring and gay.
How the show will end
>OH NI-
>>153005534Self insert fanfiction<In character fanfictionmy self insert fanfiction isn't romantic.
>>153005547well its possible
>>153005536Hopefully they sort that out because that is a catastrophic way to end the series.I am willing to drive 3 hours to my nearest cinemark but if I get to see what happens weeks before everyone else that is capital F fucked.
>>153005172Talk about a smear campaign
I bet this feels so fucking good
>>153005542>but its the most likely endingIs it really though??
>>153005448As a SOMA believer I do agree that Jax strongly suspects he's dead IRL.But I doubt he crashed. It's pretty unlikely way too convenient that a heavily injured man would crawl out of a car wreckage, into an abandoned building, and started fucking with a VR pod.I think he just ran from home, wanted an abandoned spot to kill himself, put it off with a weird game he found, saw it did nothing, and then jumped off a roof. Also I suspect Gangle did the same thing.
>>153005547Trust the plan, three more months
>>153005570I find it hilarious that Jax is a yellow man wearing a rabbit costume
>>153005482>>153005504One of the themes of the show is that making connections with others and experiencing life is worth it regardless of how absurd your circumstances and you think the circus being the only life they're gonna get goes against that message?
>>153005519She is sexy.
>>153005545to be fair, most of the normies will think it entertaining. only terminally online retards who have discussed the SOMA stuff (coin-flip el oh el eggs-dee) ad nauseam will care.
>>153005527What if it turns out that in this show, Simulation Theory is real? So they leave the circus but then one of them conjures in real life or something
Ragatha got me in the gym unironically
>>153005611>i lift for "she">"she" only weighs 5 pounds since shes all cotton and linen and yarn
>>153005572Compared to them being bodily sucked into a computer without that concept being frontloaded? Yes??
Embrace it, this is your future.
Jax, Gangle and Ragatha give off vibes of people that would kill themselves in real life so maybe that's a hint to something.
What even is soma theory
After Jax loses his virginity
>>153005642Shorthand for the characters all being instant brain clones while the “real human them” left to live life in the real world none the wiser to their clone’s fate.
>>153005642they are just digital copies of real people
>>153005642The TADC crew you know and love are just copies from real people's consciousness and they don't know it yet
>>153005648Pomni’s pussy went dry for Jax mid crash out. You can even pinpoint the exact frame. He’s never produced a response that’s equivalent to the dead and fake gummichad.
>>153005656>>153005657>>153005663This would only be a satisfying end if they manage to make a more bearable digital world for them to live somehow
https://x.com/SanderArt/status/2031340282722267562
>>153005482>>153005572SOMA has been on the table since the pilot.>ending shot>the computer running the game is abandoned>no body visible>VR set neatly put away, not thrown to the ground as if Pomni was sucked into itAfterwards:>Kinger finding the suggestion of escape to be impossible>Ragatha having a group with her during her visit to the building>the Able plot (company shoving randos into pods) was pointed out by Jax as extremely unlikely. Later proven to be 90% made up bullshit by Caine
>>153005671The more bearable digital world would be more satisfying if they achieved it as the original instance of themselves instead of a temporarily confused fake.
i don't soma ending being true because it will make me miserable
>>153005673Also>Kinger says he hated himself for what he "thought" he was responsible forIf he knows he's a copy, he technically isn't the one who made Caine.
>>153005670Pomni has a thing for losers and pathetic menAll her previous relationships have been with Chads, and she just grew to hate them
>>153005672A daring synthesis
>>153005689i don't *like soma ending being true because it will make me miserable
>>153005572As soon as Kinger mentioned in Ep1 that they don't need to sleep, that immediately eliminated any theory involving a continuous connection to their original body, leaving just SOMA and TRON as the only reasonable options left, and TRON creates a massive can of additional worms that SOMA doesn't.
>>153003264Then she is a legal loli
>>153005691>Pomni has a thing for losers>All her previous relationships have been with chadOne of these things is not like the other~
>>153005697i dont like it either because its stupid and ultimately makes the entire series meaningless but i would not put it past the goose for this to be the explaination for everything
Why did Pomni fall in love with her ChatGPT boyfriend instead of me bros?
>the truth of the tadc crew not being real people causes immense despair>the cast decide to end the "world" to break free from the suffering
Soma doesn’t render the series meaningless but it does make the series more complicated for no benefit. I have yet to be presented an argument for Soma that makes the series better.
>>153005685Why the fuck would that matter? If we never saw or never will see the originals then how the hell would that diminish your ability to care for the characters we've been watching the whole time. Is it some unexamined bullshit about souls?
>>153005709and they failedJax's fear of intimacy means he's actually gotten to know Pomni for more than Just sex, they actually enjoy spending time together
>>153005721Close, that’s the false choice that you think they’ll do, but they’ll make “the other choice”.
>>153005723As opposed to them being sucked into digital space via TROON or being like the Matrix?
>>153005685Even if so i think it wouldnt make much sense for them to be stuck permanently on digital world hell, they would still want to do things in real life and miss their families, its would be extremely bittersweet no matter how you spin it, i trust goose to somehoe manage to pull this off but i hope it isnt true
>>153005723Tron theory would be even worse though
>>153005741is that theory the one where the entire person gets sucked into a computer or whatever the fuck?
>>153005727Pomni is objectively on suicide watch duty for Jax as of the end of episode 8. They have the same relationship as Pomni had with Gangle at the end of episode 4.Converting their situation into shipfuel is missing the forest for the trees.
Sword art online theory where they all just die after leaving the computer and thats the end of the story
>>153005741Not at all.What you see is what you get. EZ.
they get out but they keep their circus avatar
>>153005744Yes. Magic digitization beams. Why anyone still entertains the notion is baffling.
This image makes me laugh every time
>>153005723Feels like the opposite, honestly. How is them being copies of real people more complicated than whatever logistics would involve them being either bodily hooked into the machine or sucked in via Scratch's superscience? Like, we're already pushing versimilitude by having AI in a 1990s machine, Tron would basically be straight magic and Matrix would be the most convoluted outcome of all.
I’ll accept Soma.I’ll accept whoever wins the Pomnibowl.If they show the real life equivalent of the circus members, discussion of the series is fucked beyond repair forever. There is a near 0% chance they do it right, and even if they do, it’ll rape the fanart and discussion for the rest of time.
The easiest explanation is that their consciences got digitized and their bodies are in a dormant like state until they leave the digital circus and then they get conscience again>but it doesnt make sen-Its a cartoon nigga not science fiction
Tronfags explain how none of their family or police have been looking for them
>>153005796>How is extra instances of them existing and them debatably not having human history and being more similar to NPCs more complicated then the human beings stuck in a digital world show remaining a human beings stuck in a digital world show?Science magic is way easier to swallow than the implications of Soma.
>>153005810So .hack? But why?
>>153005825Because they are all nearly 30 yo bums
>>153005825Who says they haven’t? That’s assuming the worst case scenario for tron, that they weren’t specifically selected for their down-low lives.
>>153005834and jax isnt white so nobody cares if he goes missing
>>153005690Also pretty weird in EP 7, when zooble and gangle mentioned leaving to him in the dark, he LITERALLY thought it was impossible in his sane state. It's so obvious it's a SOMA ending, TRONfags will suicide eventually.
>>153005832The easiest one to write a satisfying end for, and the one everyone is obviously expecting
>>153005834Pomni was an accoutant though and ragatha was in real estate
>>153005841Jax is remarkably caucasian.
So TADC ending can be either:>Bittersweet Existentialism (doom pilled Soma)>Hopeful Essentialism (hope injection overdose Tron)Surely Goose can land the final stretch cleanly, right? Surely Goose won't end her most influential and popular project in a way that will utterly destroy it's reputation for years to come, right?
>>153005840well most of them likely had their phone with them when they went into the buildilng so police could just ping their last known location and investigate the building, which would have led to them confiscating the computer and shutting it down
>>153005859It’ll be hopeful existentialism but Soma will not be confirmed.
>>153005706Tron doesn't make any sense by Kinger's account of C&A's business. They were designing creative AI, which is a reasonable business model, not the supervillain shit of plugging people in stasis pods and uploading their minds into the machine.From the evidence we have the brainscanning tech was all Scratch's work, who Kinger admits was a genius, but also fucking insane. The rest of the team often couldn't make heads or tails of what he was doing, and Caine accessed the scanned brainwave files on his own because he can exceed his own parameters.
>>153005831The distinction between "human" and "AI" has been blurry since episode 2. Earlier even with Caine showing at least some emotional range.
>>153004945What if Gangle got a little *too* into the doctor LARP and demanded that Caine give himself *actual* guts and organs for her to doctor?
>>153004394That's because that's not their first rodeo and Zooble knows engaging with Caine never goes anywhere
>>153005775an episode of that, and everyone except Pomni bullying him about it
>>153005850>hey did you see that girl we hired? She hasnt come to work in a week and isnt responding to my calls.>who? >the short one.>just send a termination letter to her address.
>>153005859staying in the circus and managing to eek out a happy life regardless is still pretty hopepilled and also more interesting than the generic ending of them going back to the real worldplus its harder to make spinoffs and such with that ending
>>153005521Mostly because it'd be too close to SOMA's whole thing that it'd feel "Played out", and it adds a level of "There was no payoff possible" to the whole thing, shutting more interesting doors. I think in SOMA it was interesting, but I don't want a second helping of it played out so similarly. I personally also feel it makes the conclusion "impersonal" as it takes away agency from the "humans", although the "Kaufmo" fan film does that quite well with him ""Realizing"" there's no way out, freaking out and abstracting, I don't feel like TADC would go that route because it's a tragic downer ending, and the alternative is kinda too close to SOMA with a "We'll just have to imagine paradise and accept each other even if we're just code."
>>153005848Why do you think we're going to get a definitive ending, much less a satisfying one?
>>153005859If TADC was made before techbros ruined AI to the public then either ending would be acceptable but alas we live in 2026 and the AI bubble is still causing damage to the planet
Reminder that the best answer is no answer. All the story needs is that an exit is impossible. The rest is needless bullshit.
Theres is nothing wrong with a show having a bittersweet ending even though i dont think that is going to be the ending.Thinking everything needs to be a happy ending is some shit a kid would think.
>>153005880okay pomni still likely had family / friends who would be looking for her, she doesn't seem like a total social autist like the rest of the group
>>153005831>How is extra instances of them existing and them debatably not having human history and being more similar to NPCs more complicatedSounds dead simple to me. Especially as compared to "how is Kinger's hypothetical body still alive after being hooked in for literal years?".
Ragatha is able to escape (although stuck in doll form) and marries anon
>>153005890The shows has been written decently well until now i have no reason to believe it would drop the ball in the last episode>>153005899Well yeah but pomni hasnt been in the digital circus for so long and she is also a 25 year old adult, not having contact for like less than a month with someone in that age is not something to notice
>>153003250>No Penny from Inspector GadgetGet the fuck out of here.
>>153005888You're complaining about it being too derivative even though any ending involving them leaving is far more so? And why would it be a tragic downer if they have the power to shape their reality and the emotional revelation that they need to support each other?
>>153005893Caine will be redeemed anyway and the anti-AI crowd will have to deal with the fact that they are experiencing science fiction.>>153005897Soma isn’t the only bittersweet direction. I think escape is even worse than soma.
cannonical Jax before his breakdown
>>153005915Im saying because im seeing too many people act like a sad "bad ending" would be some kind of moral sin in gooses part when its completely normal and could even be good if written well
>>153005905Anon will join the circus and escape will no longer be a priority for her.
>>153005859Under the assumption Alex wasn't just being obtuse, it won't be cleanly either of those.
>>153005771Because magic is cool, keep up nigga
>>153005923>Canonical Jax>Sex haver (with Ragatha of all people)“No”
>>153005888>more interesting doorsLike fucking what? A bunch of domestic fanfics on AO3?
>>153005938You are just jealous jax hit ragatha before you
>>153005938Who are you quoting?
>>153005943Why would I be jealous of a blatant OOC falsehood
How are there even Tronfags when they literally showed the brain scan folders on screen plus Caine line about making their digital avatars out of their mind files.
>>153005897I 100% think it's going to be bittersweet somehow. It'll be generally uplifting, probably most of them surviving, reconciling, and either escaping or building a new world, possibly including Caine, but it'll be at some sort of permanent cost, whether that be Pomni sacrificing herself or soma being confirmed with the realization that escape was never a possibility.
>>153005953>Tron tech can’t categorize their minds in a folder because… because I said so!!!
>>153005859It's Existentialism but we are not sure what kind since Essentialism is literally the opposite philosophy>Existentialism: existence precedes essence, humans are born without purpose and create their own meaning through free will. >Essentialism: essence precedes existence, innate, predetermined characteristics such as genetics or soul define a person's purpose before birth. If the show was Essentialism then it wouldn't even exist like it does
>>153005953Because it would give them teh sads. That's it.
>>153005953How does that advance the show and make it better in any way
But why is bunny so funny?Is there also zoobleribbon?dollking?ribbonbunny?zoobledoll?ribbondoll?funnydoll?funnyzooble?funnyfunny?funnyking???
>>153005952Jealy
The bunny calls himself the funny one yet im not laughing
It feels like everybody just abruptly started calling the brainscan theory “SOMA theory” at some point over the last few episodes. The theory was around well before that but I didn’t see anybody calling it anything in particular even if they were still sometimes comparing it to soma
>>153005977The bunny is funny because yumegooners want Jax cock and Pomnifuckers self insert as Jax. The content of the series is irrelevant to either form of the delusion.
>>153005977>funnyking???Horrible combination, never speak again
>>153005928...Not at all? What the cast really are is only slightly related to what will happen to them in the end.Like if they are brainscans their options are>making the best of their circumstances >group suicide by crashing the system>tortured forever by Bubble>the computer just fucking shuts off or restarts without their influence >someone on the outside connects them to a wider world
>>153005859Didn't Goose said it wasn't going to end in a happy ending? Plus the leaked summary from Cinemax is pointing at a fucked-up ending
>>153005991I was randomly bashing shit together at that point
If the bunny is the funny oneThe mask is the sad oneThe doll is the fat oneThe pieces is the angry oneAnd the king is the schizo oneThen that only leaves the clownWhat is she?
>>153005973Because it provides a plausible reason why the world behaves the way it does and explains why escape isn't possible while forcing the characters to come to grips with the central theme of the story, namely the nature and value of meaning in a stagnant world.
>>153005997Never cook again unc
>>153005994Only normgroids will be filtered by the no escape ending. The series is overwhelmingly positive and life affirming.
>>153005986>a hot blast of pig jizz in the face can cure cancerGood to know
>>153005986>Pig Semen Particles in Eye Drops Stop Eye Cancer in MiceHold on, wait, stop. What the fuck?
>>153005585I'm fine with them not being able to escape, although the more I discuss it the more I realize I'm being autistic about it, but just having the "Agency" taken away is probably what I like the least, but also, because it feels too similar to SOMA, "Oh we're just doing SOMA" is kind of deflating after building up and anticipating what comes next for years, especially since the survey at the end of SOMA kinda already touched on the whole "Is this life worth living even though you're not human, does it still have value even if 'you' are dead" thing. I mostly just want some level of control for the characters to have to make decisions, as Gangle/Zooble already kinda gave us the whole "What we're doing is real and meaningful" moral/speech back in 6.
>>153005973Because one of the longstanding themes of the show is what makes someone a person?
>>153006005>It’s plausibleNot exclusive to Soma.>It forces the characters to come to grips with the central theme of the storyNot a positive. Twistslop forcing development instead of the characters achieving it themselves is not a plus.
I just don't like SOMA okayThat's literally what bothers me about this possible ending
>>153005986There were anons here calling it that directly after the pilot. I kind of hoped it would only be a placeholder name but no.
rank your endings (include reasoning)>Tron - they were magically sucked in and thus are able to escape back to their bodies IRL>Soma - brainscans, meaning they are stuck in the circus but are free from caine (maybe the resurrect him but less crazy later)>Toy Story 3 - the circus implodes from caine dying and they can't stop it, they all hold hands as reality tears itself apart>They're all aspects of a personality, either scratch, kinger, etc and it was all a metaphor >nothing is answered at all
>>153006027SOMA doesnt even mean it's inescapablejust give them robots or something
>>153003202TheoryAbstraction happens because the system that reads a human's brain was built using Scratch's brain as a model, causing it to break down in fringe cases where that specific part of the brain is used too much.
The real TADC ending was the friends we made along the way
>>153006036i made 0 friends, go to hell mang
>>153005973Anon did you watch the Gumigoo episode and the aftermath of it? Pomni speech at the beginning of episode 8 about having each other even if they're stuck in the circus?
>>153006031but the robot might just be another copy
"soma ending" isn't even a soma ending, its a reverse soma ending. its quite different
Atleast one human character is going to die in the final episode predict who
>>153006045Disappearing guybros... I don't feel so-
>>153006002She's the digital one
>>153005542>spiteful moveHonestly with Gangle/Zooble's heart to heart about what happens in the circus being "Real", I can see the message being "Although the circus was fake, the souls that interacted were genuine, it was truly human to human, and even as they sat around doing nothing, they created meaning, memories, and loved." without just going SOMA.I could see it working out as like, an allegory in ways to people in a duldrum part of their life where nothing seems to be moving, no job, no aspirations, no family to raise, just existing and indulging in escapism, but still making meaningful connections and reaching out to others and building up that way. But that's kinda TOO sappy/happy, unless like, Jax and Scratch were dying and basically "Stagnant" because it was over for them, hospice style "Making the best with those around them", although in Jax's case, pushing others away because he knows it'll hurt them the more they like him when he does finally have the plug pulled.
>>153004415>spelling mistakeThat's not a "spelling mistake", you are doing it willingly, and your inability to parse even basic instructions proves to everyone how much of a fucking dumbass you are. Kill yourself.
>>153006025It's been foreshadowed repeatedly throughout the series and their character development has been pointing in that direction. It's not going to force them to develop so much as their ultimate reactions being a culmination of the development they've had over the course of the show.
>>153006016What if it's possible to crash the system and they have to choose whether to keep going or not? Also, literally every day for the rest of forever they all have to make a choice not to abstract.
>>153006007bunnyking
>>153006030Elder God Tier:>Nothing is answered at allThe specific reason for their entering the circus was never the point, and it preserves fan speculation.Great Tier:>TronThe humans stuck in a digital world show remains as such, they must forge meaning themselves instead of being handed the answer to their existential predicament.Mid Tier:>They’re all aspects of one personWeird and harms rewatch value but ties into the core theme of empathy, communication and acceptance. Done really well it could be kino but probably a mess.Low Tier:>SomaTwistslop for no benefit. Raises too many implications just to overexplain something that is irrelevant to the series. Robs the characters of their agency over discovering their own meaning, too much of a shakeup, redefining the story into temporary confusion.Irredeemable garbage tier:>Kill selfDumb and retarded drama slop that goes against the themes of the series just to be le shocking.
>>153006063That's just .hack//SIGN
I prefer "they all die as the game gets disconnected and thats the end" theory
>>153006025>twistAnything BUT Soma would be a twist at this point.
>>153006078your tron ending is just the soma ending but they're the original
>>153006085>Soma isn’t even a twist anymoreCongrats it has lost the one thing it had going for it, shock value
>>153005631I don't think they had their body sucked into a computer, Abel's schematics shows pods they could be in and wired up with like, feeding tubes and cords to their brains. >>153005706If the brain itself is wired in, you're still "Active" in your sleep, especially if they're in a coma and are at a constant "Low energy" mode.
>>153006078>The humans stuck in a digital world show remains as such, they must forge meaning themselves instead of being handed the answer to their existential predicament.How is that not Soma theory? Are you some weird kind of autistic? Racist against robots like Bryne was during Avengers?
>>153006093its a shock for the characters, thats the most important part.
>>153006087Not being informed they are digital natives who are clinging to a hallucination is the entire difference yes.
I don't understand why Soma theory has some people's panties in a twist. It feels like a logical conclusion to a horror series taking place in a digital world. Like did people really exspect there to be a way out? I'm sorry, but I remember when this first came out questioning if there was a way out of this place, and if there was, what kind of sacrifice would need to be made.Did they grow too attached to the characters that a ending that dosen't involve everyone escaping would be shit in their eyes?Do they think there being no escape would result in an unsatisfying ending? Do they think this series wouldn't have some twist about the exit?
>>153006103and being magically sucked into a simulation isn't?they are literally a human being turned into a digital native according to tron theory, and its still a simulation regardless
>>153006094Yeah and that is stupid bullshit that Caine made up? As shown by that not even being close to what Kinger remembers working on? And Caine being able to apply modifiers to their consciousness which he would have no power to do if their minds were running on meat?
>>153006085The thing about SOMA ending working or not all depends on how the characters deal with the revelation.It could easily go to shit if they do stuff like Pomni 1 and Pomni 2.
>>153006100There is a definite difference between being a real boy forging a meaningful life in an alien environment and being a temporarily confused digital native deprived of the information necessary to understand that you’re already where you belong and you should just let go of your backstory hallucination that is causing you emotional pain.
>>153006115but how could caine know or even imagine such a ridiculous thing exists?
I wouldn't mind a Truman show ending. >>153005893>AI bubble
>>153006094>Abel's schematics shows pods they could be in and wired up with like, feeding tubes and cords to their brains.The thing is, Abel was bullshit. Everything that had to do with that adventure was fake from the beginning. Even when Pomni summoned the door to the unfinished adventure in Episode 1 and started searching for an exit, Caine's reaction was "She's going to get SPOILED!" rather than any concern that she might learn something about the nature of the Circus... because it was all just window dressing for a meta adventure.
>>153006107What stops them from just puppeting robots in the real world?What even is the real world like outside the circus? 2017 is not useful, they had neuralscan did back in the 90's.something's off.
FUCK SOMASLOP
>>153005953Could simply be what the human "Controls" and a file to let them interface with it.
Uh.And the abstractions? If the circus cast get similar powers to Caine, could they theoretically restore all those ones locked in the basement?
>>153005691Nope, she's never been in one.
>>153006120I don'y think that element of Soma will come into play at all, beyond the obvious first digital iteration. One would assume Caine would copy/archive people if their scans could be duplicated rather than letting each scan fail one by one over the years and hoping new randos accidentally end up scanning themselves.
The most exciting thing Ragatha has ever done in her life was ride one of her horses around the estate, without a saddle!
>>153006107Escape is even WORSE than Soma. Soma debates are not a proxy for escape vs non-escape.The issue with Soma is that it recontextualizes the entire series from humans fighting to make a human life with meaning via eachother into a series about confused programs with false attachments to a self that they never were, for no narrative benefit.
>>153006081Should I watch it?
>>153006146I want to give Ragatha a ride without a saddle if you know what I mean
>>153006147Escape is the most fucking unlikely, god people need to shut up about escaping, even Kinger doesn't believe in escaping in his sane state.
>>153006139I would begrudgingly accept abstraction revivals as happy fanservice but I’d prefer if death mattered and was permanent.
>>153006120>It could easily go to shit if they do stuff like Pomni 1 and Pomni 2.
>>153006168none of the main characters have died anon
>>153006172So
>>153006156NTA, but depends on your tolerance for anime nonsense. If you're reasonably weeaboo, go ahead, but it's not anything special outside of the themes.
>>153006002The rabbits girlfriend
>>153006115I'm not saying it's "Real" but it's a more plausible way to get humans "in" the circus than spraying them with internet gas and they digitize and get sucked in. Caine could have just yoinked the idea from the matrix, or he might have some level of insight because he actually has to interface with it.
>>153005440That's aislop retard>SpoesSGamerS
Nothing to watch afterwards when the show is finished.
>>153006132>NO ONE HAS GUESSED THE ENDINGEvery time I hear this it's either an outright known lie, or the creative in question hangs around only a tiny cesspit of clueless normalfags that couldn't theorycraft their way out of a wet paper bag.
Pomni is actually an AI based on a girl they all knew who was brutally murdered.
>>153006121No there fucking isn't? It doesn't matter if their pre-circus memories are something they directly experienced it still shaped who they are now and they need to choose how to handle it in the future. Even if they were somehow the originals, discarding their posts completely is still a choice to make if they're stuck forever.
>>153006159>anon gives Ragatha a horseback ride around the circus, without a saddle!
>>153006183its like 8 thirty minute episodes anon, were you just rewatching 240 minutes of content all day
>>153006191
>>153006147You really ARE racist against robots.
>>153006191Yes there objectively is.1. Finding your own existential acceptance.2. Being forcefed the nature of your existential reality.
>>153006162I can't remember the last time I saw somebody seriously speculate about them escaping, just people getting mad at the idea of other people thinking it will happen
>>153006202Did you not notice the past few years where being racist against AI has been the norm?
>>153006202Not at all. I just acknowledge that humans interacting with digital beings and struggling over their personhood is far more interesting than temporarily confused digital beings not recognizing that other digital beings are existentially equivalent to themselves.
>>153006182Barbie horse adventures is an actual ps2 game
>>153006147Why does it have to be the first option? Does Soma theory really change much about the first option?Like ffs, you speak of themes like you've actually fucking made anything in your life.
>>153006184They're probably saying it in the sense of "nobody has guessed exactly what's going to happen even if some guesses were 95% right".
>>153006212the science fiction concept of AI sentience has been around since the 1920s, stop confusing it for modern day AI generative slop
>>153006203...what are you even talking about now? Are you just pissed that if Soma theory is true someone would have to explain that to the cast which you feel impedes their choices somehow? Even though they already made the choice to just take life as it comes and help each other in the episode we just goddamm saw?
>>153006200Every cartoon now feels like shit in comparison.
>>153006143I dunno, the Evil Big Tops in Episode 5 and their "evil counterparts" thematic makes me think that Caine can at least recreate what he believes would the complete opposite of a person with the mind files he has, like he CAN'T create a new mind file at all if its corrupted but he can use the uncorrupted ones to his hearts content.
What if pomni met the Joker
Ragatha has one of these (in both the circus and IRL)
>>153006222It doesn’t *have* to be the first one, but the first one is definitely a more relevant and human story as science fiction.I have written stories before but that’s not necessary to understand what I’m saying.
BUNNYISFUNNY
>>153006169>>153006238I'd piss on Goose's grave if she makes this joke have actual foreshadowing weight
>>153006235I would be miffed that, for no narrative benefit, the characters are railroaded into accepting that physically they belong to the circus as a matter of circumstance, instead of finding that belonging amongst themselves, yes. This is a series about communication, empathy and finding purpose amongst each other, not a series about the plot telling you you’re a confused set of files that have false attachments to a personhood that was never really yours.
>>153006238I'm more inclined to believe he just whipped up crude opposites based on his own observations, the Evil Orbsman and Zooble's extremely low-effort evil duplicate jokes completely fall apart if they were derived from the scans.
>>153006217How and why? Especially since Pomni placed Gummigoo on her level forever ago and the show never indicated she was wrong to do so, just because Caine fears either usurption or accidentally deleting a human.
What if soma theory is confirmed explicitly to be true and the final episode is the Gummigoo arc but for the entire cast (except maybe Kinger, it feels like he probably figured it out a long time ago judging from his reaction to the escape the circus adventure in episode 7)Too much setup has been made for this not to be the case, at the very least they're all not going back to their real lives.>Gummigoo>Jax's belief that they're all cartoon characters won't be too far off from their reality, his arc is partially about not letting existential dread give you a greenlight to be a callous dick.>Zooble telling Gangle that everything they've ever done did matter, it was always real for them.It just makes sense
>>153006244So you don't think you can't write a meaningful story about humans if the cast are clones? You think it would cheapen the interactions as being meaningless because their real counterparts never experienced them....how it essentially makes the whole story a waste of time because everyone is a clone....you know, I'm starting to realize that Soma theory would make TADC a worst story.
Reminder that episode 9 is 1 hour long
CAINE IS REDBUBBLE IS BLUE
>>153006281
>>153006283
>>153006267Because one is a tale of two functionally different existences finding common ground via the effort of empathy, communication, and acceptance, and the other is a tale of temporarily confused programs that don’t yet grasp that the distinction was never valid.Gummigoo being a real boy because he’s given the benefit of the doubt and treated as if he’s a real boy is a story of empathy. Gummigoo being a real boy because whoops he’s existentially on the level of the cast who thinks therefore they are is a resolution that exists beyond the characters and their beliefs or actions, it’s just the existential truth of Soma circus.
>>153006261look on the brightsideorgies where everyone is pomni
>>153006261>Morning VisitorWho rapes people in the morning?
>>153006262Are you literally Dr. Tenma from Astro Boy? Or if it isn't human supremacy how are you able to even interact with fiction if you have such a rigid understanding of true and false?
>>153006262You're completely missing the point, anon. The point isn't whether they're human or not, the point is an exploration of existential dread and the capacity of sapient beings to overcome it through supporting each other. Whether being copies makes them less human is ultimately semantic because the point is that through Scratch's bullshit superscience they are effectively human in terms of intelligence, emotions, judgment, and all the other ways that matter. They effectively ARE humans, just humans deprived of a body who have identical selves in meatspace doing what they would do if they weren't trapped in the Circus.
Who's to say we're not in a computer simulation right now? If it was proven that we're all digital copies of real people would that suddenly invalidate any feelings you've ever experienced?
>>153006296guess what retard, if you get magically sucked into computer code, you become code. you become a confused program.
>>153006306Kaufmo.
>>153006274It still has meaning but the weight of the story is lesser for no benefit. It’s not a franchise ruiner, just the worst functional option. Clone programs would still have to reconcile with their false attachments and the implications over Caine/the NPCs who are now equivalent to them.
>>153006322If you are tronned you are yourself in the computer.If you are digicloned, you were born at the moment of digital cloning.
>>153006320yes, also i'd probably run to my closest gun and put a moonroof in my head
If TADC is so good where is TADC 2
>>153006283Pomni is blue and red too
>>153006348its right here
>>153006303>orgies where everyone is pomniIt's almost enough to make me vomit.
>>153006296ok cainegpt, now generate me some Abel porn
>>153006339you aren't yourself in the computer if you get tronnedyou just became a copy of yourself thats been recreated in the computer
>ITT: Anons attempt to have a conversation with Mark Twain's Satan
What if this series was like Danganronpa instead of IHNMAIMS?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKMD95eF0h4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1ZQZfp0lbc
>>153006314I don’t know how many times I need to restate this.The issue isn’t that the cast are electronic beings per se, I can accept that in fiction an electronic being is indistinguishable from a person.My issue is that the implications over this story dramatically reframes their arcs. One side is a story about humans who were literally deprived of an existence that was literally theirs, bringing their literal history to each other and finding a life worth living in an alien environment, and the other tale is about temporarily confused computer programs that are hallucinating attachments that were never theirs, being force-fed existential assurance that they are where they belong. I’m much more interested in the characters finding meaning and answers in each other over the characters finding meaning and answers over a dramatic existential truth nuke that invalidates their core motivations.
>>153006369what if? what if i played those fag games so i could answer you?
>>153006370why do you think the computer programs cant find meaning and answers in each other? how is that mutually exclusive with finding out the truth of their existence?
>>153006357I am not using an LLM.>>153006364Not compatible with the film Tron. You can call it digimon theory if it satiates your autism.
>>153006381I think it might relate that you had an illusion they were actually humans in cartoon bodies and not just literally cartoon bodies who think they're human
>>153006296Not at all? Even if Pomni, Caine, and Gummigoo are all sapient programs, they're still different from the circumstances of their creation. Specifically, regardless of how good a job Caine thinks he did, Pomni's code isn't meant to run in this program but instead in a human body, and that disconnect is what makes abstraction possible. Even if all the cast are infomorphs, the digital world they're living in wasn't made for them so they need to either contine to help each other muddle through or change the world to something more comfortable.

>>153006381They CAN, but in this specific story as of episode 8 revealing their true nature a soma programs suddenly in the final hour railroads their arcs in a way that cheapens what the series has done thusfar, for seemingly NO narrative benefit.
>>153006391they had memories of being human, from their perspective they WERE human. their memories dont suddenly become irrelevant because they're copies
i'm gonna fuck caine
>>153006403artificial memories like total recall

>>153006429
>>153006132if this a taste to the seething that will come out from episode 9 it might could collective snap not unlike the last season of stranger things
>>153006436*might or could be a collective snap
uhh bros... wheres our new thread?? im too stupid and lazy to navigate the catalog
>>153006435Chris agrees it’s a truke btw
>>153006444And the worst part? You're bringing your rizz down with you.
Literally cannot stop contemplating Ragatha
>>153006449how could i bring something down of which i do not have?
>>153006444My dude, we're still on page 2. We don't need to rush things.
>>153006436The scenario of TADC episode 9 being bad would destroy Glitch's domination over indie animation over night

>>153006436>the game of thrones season 8 finale for teens and autists
>>153004463Any explanation to this would just bring more questions than it answers and cause more problems that it fixes.We will never know. We might not even get confirmation that they're SOMA-ing and not TRON-ing. Somehow circumstances led for this plot to happen. This is fine.
>>153006370No? Even if they are electronic beings, they're not programmed for the environment and circumstances they are currently in and they're certainly not designed to function for eternity. They still need to live with that, and memories from outside the circus are still valid and valuable regardless of ownership or authenticity.
>>153005010Same, I feel like people underrate how much it changes things. Not only does he have much more agency and individuality than a simple host character in a world of NPCs, but he is literally god, and they only find this out AFTER he’s beyond pissed off at them.
