>>153811186Just give Ragatha and Pomni a scene before the hug that didn't involve them talking about the male characters
>>153811186i would only add an implication that kinger, though he still visits queenie, also gets down with ragatha and pomni from time to time
>>153811186Tbh the ending could stay the same, I would've just put jax in a more antagonistic role than just "ope I abstracted, anyway heres my crybaby backstory"

i unironically love seeing them hug.if you prefer ragpom thats cool too.
i'm glad raggy won but now i'm sad that i wont get to see more of her ;_;
I love Ragatha so much. I never felt this way for a fictional character before

I feel like my main thing is, why wait this late to prove Ragatha correct about Jax? Was it an intentional twist? Because the vibe I get is that you were supposed to think she was jealous about Jax getting close with Pomni or having irrational fears, instead of her thinking "Oh Jesus Christ don't let him turn you into Ribbit 2.0"I feel like Ragatha should've tried to drop some more subtle hints to foreshadowing her "I promised Jax I wouldn't bring up Ribbit" thing
u agree

>>153812514Both of them were weird. I don’t think these character designs lend themselves to hugging well
>jax tries desperately to convince himself none of this matter cuz its not real>hes constantly hurting the others out of boredom and a need to feel in control>out of everyone in the circus gangle is the easiest to torture but she doesnt have a humanoid enough body>sometimes when hes feeling particularly cruel and pent up he lets himself into ragathas room>he wakes her up by pinning her down and covering her mouth so she doesnt wake the others up>shes too much of a doormat to ask for help anyway>he tears her clothes off and flips her onto her stomach, giving her ass a smack>hes kind enough to spit on his dick before he shoves it up her ass>it hurts so much ragatha wishes she abstracted >jax leaves multiple loads in her torn up asshole>she has to face him during the next days adventure like nothing happened>theres nothing stopping jax from doing this whenever he wants until they all abstract
>>153811186it should have been me in the place of pomni and ragatha
>>153812569I don’t think Ragatha was aware of the Ribbit situation at all, otherwise she would have reached out and tried to be there for RibbitShe’s just as oblivious as Kaufmo talking about what good friends they were after she abstracted
>>153811917It got confirmed that he was the Blue AI. Caine let him go into the void to do whatever the fuck he wants, I guess.
>>153812557Posting incomplete since it was on the last whiteboard and that shit is about to expire lol oh wellBased on ratfink (obviously)Also this new whiteboard has such pretty drawings :)) i can tell alot of new people came in
>>153812570>even the moonGod damn… I’m starting to think xitter is right about goose having some unexamined misogyny lmao
this gif cracks me up like why are you smiling bruh that dude almost tried to kill you
If Miyazaki sees this and gives his honest opinion Goose will def committ sudoku
>>153811186A more generalized abstract breakout was what I thought the poster was suggesting, with the frog hands and kaufmo paintings spreading.Conjuring was weirdly underwhelming? In prior episodes kinger made healing butterflies, pomni made a whole level map even. Caine could make living NPCs. I feel like even a novice conjuring would be able to make items from memory instead of primitive shapes but we don't really see them do much with it.Caine not being able to break fully back to the circus without someone from the circus making the choice to let them back in, if not the cast, maybe the moon.A more tragic situation for at least one of the real life versions of the characters.
>>153812581i tried to replicate it, i hope the og artist doesn't mind
Baxly enters the circus...
>>153812570They forgot Pomni and Ragatha queer baiting too, but in the season 1 Hazbin Charlie/Vaggie way where they don't actually do anything and are hugely overshadowed by the men
>>153812680Queer baiting is when you hug your best friend
>>153812674they mind and they are sending you negative thoughts
>>153812692Come on, anon
>>153812573Pomni can't just conjure gummigoo? I get he would have to go through the realizations again but she knows what to say and how to explain it.
>>153812701NO
in the director's cut we will see ribbit and jax having sex til one of them stops liking it and turns into rape.
>>153812710im just kidding fishchad, i honestly doubt they mind
>>153812704(You)
>>153812570It isn't queerbaiting if they actually get together right? Also the girls don't really support the guys outside of Pomni and the moon.That is mostly because they don't do fucking ANYTHING but still.
>>153812706i think she can just conjure gummigoo the first and in fact i feel like he was already brought back to life in ep8 as the 4th gator that didin't attack pomni in her nightmareI think they didin't show him just because goose really didin't wanna look like she was picking sides with the shipping given how jax ended up
>>153812514It should have been an instrumental of Daisy Bell, not a fuckass cover
>>153811186Goose dead yet?
>>153812667Yeah I really felt that with Caine gone they should have started manifesting out of control leading to their neurosis and nightmares infecting the circus. Instead other than Jax giving up and abstracting, there's really no serious consequence for Caine getting deleted. It feels like even if he never came back, they would have been fine. The color had already been restored before he returned and they had Jax under control.
theres prob a very little chance that rn goose is using her priv fetish acc to vent about the leak and draw jax getting the same end like homelander
>>153812514DAMMIT JAX
>>153812725Ragatha supports the men mostly through exposition dumps
I hug my pillow and pretend it’s Ragatha
fuck im having that super empty feeling when you finish a really engrossing tv series or video game, anyone else having it? it only kicked for me just now at like 3 am...
>>153812729Wheres the image dumbassStick to your gimmick!!!!!
It really was all an elaborate set-up, right?Establish a tumblr sexy-man, tease a redeemable ending to his arc, and then nonchalantly just kill him in the finale, to shatter everybody's expectations for shock value.The irony lying in the fact that Jax, and Jax alone, is sentenced to the titular horrible fate of "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream", while everyone else carries on.
also i love ragapom as much as the next guy but as easy as it is to say theyre suddenly lovers in ep9 its just as easy to say theyre friends and pomni is just assuring that to ragatha because ragatha always had a hard time with that sorta stuffthe hug wasnt "romance" it was more so letting nine episodes worth of unsureness out and making ragatha realise she and pomni were ALWAYS friends and that she was silly to ever doubt she wasn't wanted in the circus
>>153812088>The NPCs in general never showed up at all outside of the Gloinks despite Caine reopening all of the worldsThat was an odd choice. Adding a few of the one offs would have made the new and improved circus feel less lonely and would have been nice fanservice.
Ragatha won permanently
lol
>>153811186>How would you have rewritten the ending?So it starts out with the players finding out that they're copies, and they're all bummed out because they think they're stuck in a dying simulation. But then SUDDENLY! It turns out that Scratch was also building sweet robot bodies, and he was actually planning to transfer his mind into one of them, and uploading his mind into the digital realm was just meant to be a temporary solution, and also the robot bodies can shapeshift to look like the players' digital avatars. So they escape the Circus that way, and they find out that their human selves are living their lives and they've gotta sort that shit out, and then Doc Brown shows up in the DeLorean and says they've gotta go BACK TO THE FUTURE with him because something's gotta be done about their kids, and then the Imperial March starts playing and a big Rick & Morty portal opens and Thanos flies in on a Death Star with two smaller Death Stars attached to make it look like Mickey Mouse, and Thanos looks directly at the camera and says "I'm coming for you, Redditors." Then everyone starts jerking each other off and shitting in each other's mouths, Roger Ebert rises from the grave and declares TADC to be the greatest cinematic masterpiece in history, and all of the buses start clapping. Not the people in the buses, no, I must clarify that the buses themselves are clapping. The actual vehicles. They're just standing on their back wheels and slapping their front wheels together like seals.

>>153812758Youre right anon but at the same time I think you can say it was purposely ambiguous and that we are free to come to our own conclusions.Not Abstragedy though, there's no debating that one
>>153811186
>>153812569Because that wouldn't serve the Jax story and that was all Goose seems to have cared about. Plus this series had major issues with characters just not fucking talking to each other about stuff for no reason.
gimmick.. oh fuck ive forgotten to crikey lately>>153812760the moon was fine and if anything showed NPCs in general were all able of thinking for themselves and also showed that caine's deletion did not affect any of the NPCs only Bubblegloinks coming back and gloink queen cheering for ragatha makes me believe it was the gloink queen from ep4 that ragatha talks to so their memories are also fineso... gummi is fine, loolilalu is fine, angel and his wife are fine caine has them all in his archive and its all okay
>>153812751I'm a different anon, because this time we're actually expecting it.
>>153812763Where did she ever say say she "pulled all-nighters" anywhere?
>>153812757>Jax, and Jax alone, is sentenced to the titular horrible fate of "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream", while everyone else carries on.And I still can't believe IHNMAIMS still made it more dignified
>>153812776Most of the ship stuff was ambiguous, expect the abstragedy stuff yeah that was undeniable
Is Jax a cuck?
>>153812777i know that i didnt like it but something about seeing jax, ribbit and kaufmo there makes me a little sadthere was a time they were all happy... jax ruined it but doesnt change the fact that at one point they were all friends

>>153812786>weI'm not expecting anything and don't want her to do that>>153812783Hey crikey anon i wanted to ask you thisDo you really want them to grab og Gummigoo out of the void and just bring him back? Like i know gummi fans want to see hik again but it feels a tad to me like it would be kinda cheap storytelling in the same way unabstracting jax would beWhat are you gummigoo fans thoughts on this
>>153812777>memorial with a bunch of literal whos the audience has no attachment toAhaha ok goose, where is the REAL ending now?
>>153811186okLeave ending how it is, but then they show a montage of adventures they go on. included in this is Pomni talking to the Jaxtraction.The next part is the others being worried at How much time Pomni spends with Jax, telling him about every adventure, and asking him to come every time they go on an adventure. Pomni convinces them to start talking to Jax too, and one by one they talk to Jax alone, telling him their true feelings because he's unable to really listen anyway. It becomes cathartic for them all, and they all start spending a little time with him. Gangle watching anime with him, Zooble listening to music with him, etc. Pomni is still sad, sometimes adventures remind her of Jax, and she feels Jax's presence as well, and wants everyone to go into the abstraction to find Jax and bring him out. The others are increasingly concerned, and warn Pomni not to re-enter Jax's abstraction world again, they are afraid they won't be able to save her again and know Jax can't be saved.One night, Pomni goes to sleep in the pillow fort with Jax, something she has done a few times despite the warnings. But the next day she is nowhere to be found. The rest are terrified of looking in the pillow fort, but when they do they find Pomni, holding and stroking a naked, crying Jax. He was fully conscious of what everyone said to him the whole time. The series ends on a note of hope, and shows a montage of Adventures, and gradually unabstracting the rest of the characters
>>153812757goose is a misogynist who made a male character that appeals to women just to troon him out and kill him. hes probably giggling and kicking his legs imagining all the women walking out of the theatre and going home to sell all their jax merch online
>>153811186Now make them kith
>>153812813+ at the same time if gangle abstracted i would definitely be begging for someway to bring her back so idk maybe im just biased lmfao
>>153812763Imagine posting this exactly but it's from 4chan instead of Xitter
>>153812791When it comes to ribbit specifically? Nah
>>153812819trvst thv plvn THE LEAK WAS A FAKE, THE REAL ENDING WILL DROP IN TWO WEEKS!!!
>>153812520My love for her is past infinity
Ragatha is to pomni as jessica rabbit is to rodger rabbit
>>153811186Exactly like what this pic conveys is how I'd rewrite the ending.
>>153812812Yeah that's something that weirded me out about him too. He was a lot bigger than I expected. When you see the standee in Episode 1 during the opening credits it makes him look like he's around Ragatha size or smaller.
>>153812841Im not a ragathug but i actually think Ragatha is hotter than Jessica
>>153812813>bring back gummigoo, jax after tremendous sacrificecheap storytelling>bring back caine randomly somehow after 12 minutesgood storytelling
>>153812777This scene would have made me ugly cry if we got more long flashbacks and a main character who wasn't a sadistic troon that had violent sexual fantasies about the girls in the cast died.
>>153812822Holy shit, it really is like those fanfics where they murdered Justin Bieber and Edward from Twilight
>>153812763KWAB
>>153812852So did most of /co/ if the tournament was anything to go off of
Consider.PONDER THIS.Tens of thousands of tickets must been refunded now, but TADC is a GLOBAL phenomenon.Millions will see Jax become an abstracted Dog.Millions will see Zooble and Gangle having sex in the credits.Millions will see Jax's POV as he fumbles Ribbit and causes both her and Kaufmo to abstract.Millions will see The Real Gang get on that bus at the end.
>>153812819And it's not even all of them. The pink sasquatch can rot in Hell for all their care.
I have issues with the final episode, but I think it turned out a lot better than what all the criticism led me to believe.
If TADC was going to go for the 'everyone dies' ending, it would've had jax abstract in episode 7 and have everything collapse after Caine got deleted in episode 8. Episode 9 wouldnt have been a thing.
>>153812856Anon i think bringing both him and jax back would be kinda cheapIm ok with caine because i was always expecting him to come back by the way the story was shaping up anf how his death was presented
>>153812880you put more thought into the plot than goose did
>>153812877well I think it tucked and your a faggot
>>153812877You're right, it wasn't that badI just wanted more Ragatha, that's all...
>>153812517I'm just happy that Raggy got her happy ending and that her main tormenter can't hurt her anymore.>>153812520My heart always yearns for her. I wish her nothing but blessings and joys.
>>153812746It's more the feeling you could have been doing something better with your time for the last 3 years.
>>153812763They didn’t mention how a lot of the people who watched the leaks fucking hate it and are even refunding their tickets lmao
>>153812877Yeah, the finale is pretty much everything the series has been leading up to.Goose has made it blatantly clear what Jax's arc was with posts like these.
>inb4 Jax gets the Jimmy Mouthwashing treatment
>>153812570Nope, whoever wrote that is either a seething Jaxnigger or is just very bad at critiquing media.
>>153812514you ever think pomni always talks to dogjax about her newest adventures (she's aware it's all white noise to him but a small part of her believes)
>>153812906Already did
>>153812895I need this figurine badly
Jessicas design is too tryhard, feels like a 12 year old idea of what sexy isAnd while im not getting a boner just from looking at ragatha i think by her personality i would 100% date her irl>t. not a ragathug
>>153812813I don't want her to, but the leak and her reaction to it means it very well could. I can't really do anything but laugh at that.

>>153812788More dignified and with more hope for the ultimate prevailing of the human spiritI genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a more malicious outcome for a character than what Goose did to Jax, at least not in anything half decent
is ace cinemas in australia gonna have the movie? i see no info on the website showing it as an upcoming movie
>>153812919Ai can never mess up zooble because she already works like that
>>153811186>How would you have rewritten the ending?By doing a crossover with Project Nortubel
>>153812841wasn't that jax before goose sent him to the humiliation ritual of the decade
>>153812901That doesn't hurt Goose, it hurts Glitch. They were shitty for trying to do this cashgrab. The only saving grace is all the people who told the non-theater people that it would be easy to avoid spoilers for 2 fucking weeks are proven to be full of shit.
At least I'm glad I'll never have to look at Zooble ever again
>>153812916You do you but i could never laugh at the suffering of a creator that made something this dear to me. Even if my opinion on the ending was negative.
>>153812905Yeah, the only thing in the last episode that really bothers me is Caine just coming back with no explanation, I guess Kinger didn't actually kill him? Other then that though everything that happens is what I expected, and it was executed pretty well, especially the hugs.
In reference to one of her Bluesky posts: I understood what Gooseworx was getting at with the finale.
>>153812921maaan stop im trying to make it wholesome
So we never do find out what Jax's body does when he holds his breath.
>>153812944It wasn't really that important to the plot anyway.
>>153812763>>>>>>>greentexting outside of 4chan
>>153812944his new purpose is to watch and learn
>>153812940yeah, she is "scratch", the first abstraction, and every character is just a fragment of her personality.
>>153812568Anon you can't just say that without any proof, I'm pretty sure that artist shows up to the thread
>>153812954No certainly not, but still, feels like a bit of a tease.
>>153812813eh this whole show is cheap story telling so I wouldn't care if it meant seeing him happy at lastthe thing that gets me is that gummigoo got up but never started walking because Caine zapped him too soon so I'm just blinded with the "what could have been" feelingBUT I also wouldn't really mind if it was a new instance of gummigoo and pomni just befriends that one or lets him know about the npc stuff in a way that doesnt scar him quite like the dev room... actually the idea of meeting someone you knew from another life and getting to meet them again is really romantic.
>>153812359>Gangle's RoomWhy is Gangle's room fit perfectly for an artist when everyone else's room is designed to make them feel bad about themselves?
i dont get it. caine literally just remade scratch, so why didn't he just do that for everyone that abstractedis he stupid
I'm just glad I it leaked and I watched it on my own instead of going to the theater because I was bored a lot of the time watching episode 9 and I don't think I would have enjoyed it in the theater surrounded by others
>>153812944Well obviously he abstracts when he holds his breath
>>153812940She really likes her triangles doesnt she?>>153812911Thats really cute anon, i hope someone draws this
>>153812979I just told chatgippity to make it high-quality.It fucked it up bad
i hate ragatha for making me feel these stupid mushy feelings for a ragoll....
Jax abstracting offscreen like that was the right way to do it. We had already seen what the abstraction process was like and there was no need to make it dramatic. The entire sequence of the rest of the cast coming together to restore the sequence over the course of weeks/months as Jax distanced himself cutting abruptly into the others staring at his abstraction in a stunned silence and resignation was perfect.I think that the real reason it feels so wrong is because we were all spoiled out of the blue. This moment was meant to be a gut punch that millions would experience simultaneously (before Glitch went full retard and made an early release) but instead our first experience was going into our favorite website and getting spoiled that it happened and how. In a meta sort of way the reveal and reaction is shaped by the people posting leaks and spoilers talking badly about how it happens out of nowhere 10 minutes into the episode and a mix of all the negativity and people saying how it should have happened instead, all while most of us can't even watch the episode properly in English with good quality. This leak was the most catastrophic one I can think of for a franchise with over a billion views.
Is abstraction really permanent? Pomni proved that Jax's mind is still there, so that must go for the others too, and if their minds are still there maybe there might be a way to fix them.
Have Ragathugs apologized to Goose yet?
>>153812935I can laugh at someone's suffering because I don't have parasocial relationships with creators and neither should you. She's made it very clear she kinda hates her fans and the fact she has a fanbase at all. So fuck her, get refunded biiiiiitch.
>>153812911ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS GIVE IT SQUARE PUPILS!!!!, DAMMIT GOOSE
>>153812988When did we see the abstraction process on screen? I forget
>>153812937I guess caine was not deleted-deleted and just recycle binned / put into the void... which didnt really seem terribly useful if he can just get out of it. I guess they wanted to make it so Caine had removed the blue AI out of his own volition rather than cheapening it via it being something he had to do in order to get out of the void?I feel like it would've been neat if the moon opened the last barrier to the circus or something where he wouldve been stuck in the void if he didnt realize his fuck ups and realize where he went wrong etc.?
>>153812993Corny
i'm gonna cry, for i will never be as whimsically successful as goose with my own talents
I want a season 2
>>153813000he's probably talking about jax's trip on episode 7anyway they could just have made jax abstract with a short scene instead of that drawn out hug scene
>>153813005just be both gay and trans xro
>>153812971Their rooms are based on their mind scans, they’re not intentionally torturous, they’re just tortuous in proportion to one’s own mental defects
>>153812940I get it, doesn't make it good. She is way too obsessed with the purple guy
>>153813000Jax final sceneAlso jax tripping his ball off in his bed and really sad gangle on spudsys could be considered the starts of one>>153813005You gotta beeleeeb it anon!
>>153813009>anyway they could just have made jax abstract with a short scene instead of that drawn out hug scene8/10 bait
>>153812901Oh my god. I remember this screening being completely full and now theres 5 open seats. We are so fucked
>>153812971I don't think it's intentionally meant to make them feel bad about themselves, like the bodies I think Caine just scans their mind files and builds something for them based on what he digs up. Caine being the autistic little computer program he is though, doesn't realize that people, especially neurotic people, don't like having their inner selves exposed.Like I don't think all the mirrors in Zoobles room were put there maliciously, it's just that Zooble is obsessed with their body and self image so that's what manifests in that room. Gangle is an artist so her room is full of art supplies. Ribbits room looked pretty chill too.
>>153813022Thats barely any difference
>>153813005I need a Goose: suffering from success album cover now
>>153813022THE AMAZING DIGITAL NOTHING
From the movie summary that shows up on every theater's website>As the prospect of eternity closes in around them, they discover the truth about the Digital Circus and its history. Will they come to terms with what they uncover, or will they make… the other choice?What the fuck was the "other choice"? Just abstracting?
>>153813029Sarcasm is a thing ..
>>153813005Want your show to succeed? Ez>Have at least 1 r34 material gal>Have at least 1 Tumblr sexyman >Have at least 1 furrybait>Write with LOTS of angst There you go, but if course the most crucial of all? It needs to have SOVL. you can tell if something is soulless doesn't feel genuine doesn't feel earned, that's why you need it to have SOVL.
>Pomni enters the Jax zone>She is greeted by violent fantasies that include him trying to fuck Gangle after Zooble died and him choking Pomni out with a smile>When she gets into his memories she discovers that Ribbit's death was 100% his fault, Kaufmo was also partially on him and he may or may not have murdered or seriously injured his mother>This is immediately followed by a tearful goodbye and anime death montageThat whole segment made him look so awful that I genuinely thought that it was going to have Pomni realize that he was never worth saving. That would have actually been an interesting writing choice.
>I put a hug scene in for Ragatha and they still hate it!
>>153813036Yes, the choice was accept that you are a digital clone and make a life in the circus, or abstract.
>>153813036I think so>>153813037its hard to read irony through messas sowwy
memories or not they are pretty cute together I'm sorry haha
>>153813038*tumblr sexyWOman
>>153813029It does matter for the presale records that it apparently broke for fantago. Will this still be the most presaled-ticket movie after?
I want more Ragathass
>>153813036It's not even a choice given that their minds still exist, just in a fucked up state where they can't perceive reality properly.
Alright I finally watched the episode. I'm mixed on it of course but I overall think I enjoyed it. I'm glad it was a semi-happy ending (for everyone except Jax). I think they should have given all of this two episodes though, would have made things way less abrupt and given it all more time to breath.
>>153813045Messages***** fat fucking fingers ffs>>153813050This was the most presaled movie?
Has anyone been working on putting the movie somewhere more easily accessible to normies?
>>153813040Pomni did do that, she quietly decided Jax was a lost cause but hid her feelings behind her expert-level therapyspeak personality
>>153813038>Have at least 1 r34 material galPomni but ig she came out during a time everyone wanted clown pussy so>Have at least 1 Tumblr sexyman Caine....>Have at least 1 furrybaitJax AND Gummigoo>Write with LOTS of angst Pretty much.
>>153813055I disagree i think we really just needed like 20ish more minutes for it to be better (i know why they didnt do that tho, people owuld have started complaining the movie is 2 hours)
>>153813040See what I don't like is how pomni never comments about ribbit, she didn't even go for the obvious "do i remind you of her.. is that why you.." nope nothing as if ribbit flashback was for the audience not for the narrative
>>153813057
conversations they have with JaxtractionPomnio talks to him about their adventures, and always invites him on the next one. Gangle watches Anime with him. One of the eyes opens.Zooble listens to music with him. The whole thing ripples.Ragatha finds great comfort in talking about her family problems with him.Kinger talks about his kids, and how he wishes he was closer to Jax.
honestly I wish it ended like in my fake leak shitpost from weeks backit would have been more artistically and ruefulnessly well done
>>153813066because a real conversation with Jax would have saved him.
>>153813066The Ribbit flashback was her seeing into her own buried memories of a past life
>>153813062Literally everyone would have been fine with that though.
>>153813066Idk in her perspective i wouldnt have said anything like that either, would probably just make jax worse>>153813068Crazy, still i dont think it will be that bad, twitter is a very tiny fraction of the internet and not even then all saw the entire movieIts not a avatar situation
>>153813040He did all that shit over a bow put on his head in private and she didnt even intend it to be offensive or insulting.A fucking bow.A bowtie is usually associated with male characters, ribbit was talking about her mormon family so you can get that she might be tomboy sort and not fully gender conforming herself.So she deduced Jax had a similar thing going on and symbolically did that to go 'we are alike'.And then he threw her bowtie on the ground and shunned her over it.
>>153812988jax just abstracts off screen??? what the fuck is the point??? his the main character i wanna see more of him!
>>153813081WE would have been fineNormies would have been pissed off that they were going to see a 2 hour cartoon where half is just a episode that is already on youtube>>153813086It wasnt the bowtie that made him go crazy
>pomni sees jack raping gangle as he mocks dead zooble>pomni sees jax beating up pomni herself>pomni sees jax ostracizing ribbit anbd outcasting her from everyone in the circus>pomni: We've ALL done bad things...
>>153813086That's...really fucking gay.I gotta say, trannies really can't not make everything about their gender shit, huh?Maybe goose should 41% herself..
>>153812462Like this probably
tadc's ending is the biggest secondary filter in a long timeit perfectly mirrors ted's (jax's analogue) fate in ihnmaims
is the cover of the song on youtube or it's a movie exclusive?
My Negas.
>>153813100you stole my interpretation
>>153813090 (me)Jax liked the bowtie.What made jax go crazy was that he realized he shared too much about himself with ribbit just like how he did with his mother.You can trace most of jax behavior to his mother, why he wants to have sex with gangle the most? Because she isnt like his mom.Why did he hate ragatha, pomni and ribbit? Because they reminded him of his mother. Its very obvious.>>153813102We don't know yet.
>>153813090I still feel like the bowtie reaction is hard to understand but maybe im just to asexual to understand where this mindset comes from
>>153813117I explained here: >>153813116You can even say that he hated zooble too because zooble scolding him remind him of his mother too.
Ragatha not being a main character hurt this show so bad
>>153813116nah it's funnier to say he was triggered by the bow.
>>153813118IT'S MY NEGAWHAT'S UP NEGA
Mommy issues men deserve to live
>>153813129Sure have your fun, im just discussing about the character
So Jax is an incel
>get invested into TADC because I expected digital intrigue kino>it warps into an autobiography of a transexual in the final episodeCome on, man.
>>153811186Caine brushes Pomni's teeth for a full minute and it's sexy. In fact, forget the ending.
>>153813127this is kinda stupid. So he is reminded of his mom if he is scolded but also if someone confides with him?
Maybe you could say his apathetic behavior towards the males of the circus was caused by his dad not being too present, although i would expect him to have a bigger reaction to kinger existence considering how dad-like he is.Honestly i know where the afraid of being vulnerable part comes from him, but i really dont understand how anyone would even begin to help someone like that irl. I guess jax really was a lost cause.
>>153813128Really should've been a trio like episode 1-4 felt like it was hyping up
>>153813117>>153813086You NIGGERS why do you think it was the bowtie making his tranny ass look all girly no it wasn't that it was because of his experience with his motherThis idiot got so paranoid that ribbit might tell on his secret (she never did btw not even ragatha knows about the homeless jax backstory) it's this stupid paranoia that ribbit might use this as blackmail against him, he was a fucking moron. Simple as.
>>153813044>>153813036at no point does that enter any of the fucking characters' thoughts. they never talk about that ever.jax abstracts for largely unrelated reasons
>>153813157If someone cares about him too much yes, also i said hate but what he thinks of ragatha pomni and ribbit is very different from what he thinks of zooble.For him zooble is like someone to annoy, to be a nuisance toFor the others, he genuinely dislikes them when they are trying to understand him.
>>153813090>Normies would have been pissed off that they were going to see a 2 hour cartoon where half is just a episode that is already on youtubeNormies don't watch this show. I have no idea why you think this?
>>153813173Its like da hedgehog dillema, the more you try to connect with others the more hurt you are.
>>153813167god i fucking hate jax
>>153811186The entire focus is on saving Jax from the abstraction and they get hints about the real life and how it happened because that's still le backup conscience.Caine never comes back so they have to learn to code.
>>153813036Literally none of this happened lmaoSpeaking of which, does anyone have that Spanish “spoiler” synopsis?
>>153812982>She really likes her triangles doesnt she?She loves triangles because of her triangle shaped birth mark.
>>153813178Don't play dumb.
>>153813136Worse, a woman
>>153813190
>>153813178It has been a mainstream thing since episode one anon.
>>153813036Those blurbs are written by people who barely know the source material and only have the aim of making randos watch it. Like newspaper article headlines not being written by the actual article authors
>>153813078Lmao the shit with Kinger sacrificing himself?
>>153813196This gif makes me wistful. I wish a cute foid could nibble on me like that.
>>153813187The reveal of the leaked spanish thing was just about soma and that is already confirmed>>153813190That is a very strange thing to have as a birth mark>Gooseworx 41Post Gooseworx 22
>>153813100No, it doesn’t, and ironically only secondaries talk like this about IHNMAIMS.
>>153813190>i'll never have a goose gfwhy even live
>>153813208You gotta let the cute foid connect with your first anon
Has the fandom page updated any information based on the leaks yet?
>>153813208
>>153813167Yeah when I get paranoid someone is going to blackmail me I at least wait for them to reveal they lie and don't care about me first. He made her a victim of his own fear while also revealing info to her that puts her in that dangerous position, he has an obligation to roll with it unless she flips the table and reveals she's a piece of shit just fucking with him. It's people like him that ruin it for everyone else.
>>153813086It wasn’t just the bow. For a certain kind of person, been known in any capacity is terrifyingOnce Ribbit knew that stuff, she became a walking talking reminder of his secrets and vulnerability, and Jax had to either accept that part of himself, or avoid it. And unfortunately the circus environment doesn’t allow for smooth avoidance
Stop eating that bun pombi, he is purple because he is radioactive
>>153813167It is stupid because what reason would ribbit ever have to tell people this stuff?I ask this as someone who gets paranoid about shit myself.I just cant think of why he'd think she would.Ribbit wasn't shown to be a gossip beforehand from what I can tell.
>>153813209>Post Gooseworx 22here you go >>153813218There's plenty of other creative transwomen with a quirk chungus sense of humor under the sea.
After everything, Ragatha beat every allegation.>She's secretly mean>She pushes everyone away>Everyone hates her>ESPECIALLY Pomni who never liked her that much>She's possessive for worrying that Pomni will get close to Jax>She will abstractShe was shat on so much for 'toxic positivity' but in the end she survived the Jax-Ribbit-Kaufmo meltdown because her positivity SAVED HER. She survived so fucking long because she HAD FRIENDS and was good to them. Pomni needed her. They all needed her. I love Ragatha.
>>153811400Funny how artist predicted the ending>Jax dissappear (abstracts) while jacking off (last thoughts being about hot Ribbit body and dressing as a maid seducing Gangle)
>>153813100It doesn’t even a little, Ted’s fate is unironically way more optimistic and meaningful
>>153813229Its irrational, hes reliving what happened with his motherHe is acting dumb yes but its a fear response not a rational one
>>153813228she'll eat the abstaction away
>>153813233Ragger
>>153812088Reserved for his own mini short post ending. Trust the plan.
I was really hoping that we'd learn more about the previous circus members. Instead we got the Jax show with random trans self insertion.
>>153813242The gluttonous beast simply cannot be stopped...
>>153813233It's actually insane how every fear Ragatha ever had about Jax is vindicated. I'm as a massive Ragafag and even I wasn't expecting that.
>>153813248In hindsight his name is basically peniscum
Pomni mixing jax into a grape milkshake and driking
>>153813157In his monologue to Ribbit he talked about his mother’s contradictory expectations and unpredictable reactions, and the fact that after a seemingly endless session of humiliating and berating him she showed him love, with the abuse putting him in such a fight or flight state that he reacted as if it were a physical attack. That kind of thing will completely fuck up a developing mind’s perception of love, now affection is all wrapped up in the bad stuff. Someone like that’s never getting through their 20s without being fucked up
ISN'T SHE LOVELY ISN'T SHE WONDERFUL ISN'T SHE PRECIOUS LESS THAN ONE MINUTE OLD
>>153813233They should've had sex in the end credits like Gangle and Zooble and the utter cowardace is the only thing that pissed me off in the ending.
>>153813157He has a big long chat with Ribbit about how awful his home life was and how his mom fucked with his head. In addition to his hang-ups about his masculinity he has massive trust issues that were instilled in him by mommy. She would insult him no matter what he did and would swing from fighting with him to hugging him in ways that sound really emotionally manipulative. He says that she would use things he confessed to her to insult / shame him and she'd laugh at him when he was trying to be honest with her. He felt like people only acted nice to him / tried to get him to open up in order to get him to confess to embarrassing things that they could later use against him.He's pathologically incapable of trusting people and every time he confides in them he immediately "realizes" it's a mistake. He then freaks out because he's waiting for the other shoe to drop and for them to stab him in the back. It's why when Pomni hugs him after they win the gun-fights he pushes her away. He does the same with Ribbit. Any sort of intimacy and honesty causes him to throw up walls and start pushing people away. After their chat the first thing he does is to pretend everything he confided to Ribbit was a joke, then later when she corners him on the mountain he accuses her of just trying to exploit him and get leverage against him and twists that whole moment around into her being awful to him.
>let's talk after the show :)>*bond off-screen*Fuck you Goose.
I need more Ragatha
Oh yea they were *bonding* alright
>>153812541There is a chance Goose and Glitch can decide that it was important for Pomni to move on and that their non canon scene of her mourning him on Kafmo's funeral was her way of saying goodbye. The only hope was a scene with Moon developing new thoughts that surprised Caine, meaning Gummigoo could naturally archieve self awareness and reconnect with Pomni.
>>153813192>>153813199Anyone who's going to see it in theaters is already a fan. No non-fans are going to see it, so there's no reason it couldn't be longer
>>153813277Very tragic character
ButtonblossomGODS... we won.
>>153813167for fucking realeven ribbit was confused af when jax told her she might use it as blackmail, this fucker so stupid man holy shit
>>153813229Yes, it's stupid, but he feels this way because he was raised in an abusive household where his mother was constantly emotionally manipulating him and teaching him that he can't trust anyone and that being open and vulnerable was a weakness that other people will only ever exploit to hurt you. It's not logical but it makes perfect sense.
>>153813275Honestly might as well. Having the only canonical relationship being zooble and gangle sucks because I don't think anyone ever cared about them, at least not compared to the others. And half of zoobles fans only care about her just because they wanted the see her have sex with gangle.
Okay what was with that one shot of Caine bringing the dog guy back? Did everyone just forget about that?
Why is this fanbase so underaged KEK
>>153813289There are normie fans and there are fans that discuss about the show late at night in a 2 decade old forum about japanese cartoons
>>153813159Pomni was helping him by keeping her distance but remaining consistent in her decency towards him. That’s literally all he needed, space and consistency, like a shy cat. But disasters kept happening and it pushed him over the edge.It only takes a bad moment to make a fatal mistake. Those suicide fences of bridges, they actually wouldn’t be that difficult to climb, but they work because the need to climb it buys someone time to come out of that accrue suicidal state (and gives passers by time to intervene), whereas without the fence it’s a split second decision
>>153812570The only disrespectfull thing was treating Jax as a special abstracted with its own place outside of the cellar, when Queenie should also had her own tent for Kinger. Unless they want to imply Kinger moved on and now will try to bang Ragatha
>>153813310That was a flashback
>>153813312Normie fans are still fans. If you're going to theaters anyway, why not get a fuller experience?
IN THE SPOILER HE SAID HE HATES POMNI, NO THIS RUINS FUNNYBUNNY FUCK YOU GOOSEWORX
>>153813323I guess. I legit thought it was real time and Caine was going to recreate all the abstracted characters.
I don’t think this void can be filled
>>153813265hot!
>>153812680There was never any queerbait with them. The fact the last episode made them do a crying platonic hug felt like an acknowledge of Ragatha becoming her official mommy.
>>153813330JAX SAID HE HATES POMNI ),:
>>153813316I guess so, still i dont think pomni was equipped to deal with him fully, shes very empathetic but not a therapist. I think sooner or later something would have happened even if he didnt abstract in the end.>>153813335That would have removed all of the stakes of the story so i glad they didnt do that.
>>153813298He isn't tragic he kept endangering people and pretending to be the victim without giving them a chance. He's a manipulator so good even you fell for it. He is fully capable of sitting down and analyzing why things keep going wrong and trying to solve them. If he chooses not to that's on him. It's as if this fandom thinks a bunch of therapists magically falling from the sky is a good substitute for a person taking accountability and trying to improve.
Ragatha talking about her mommy issues with Pomni would've been so cathartic, and it would've been a perfect juxtaposition to Jax. The parallel was RIGHT THERE, and wasn't exploited to its fullest potential.
>>153813299do you have the one thats just everyone but jax in the bed?
>>153813350I can think hes a tragic character and still think he was a bad person, also calm down dude we are just discussing things here.
>>153813335You and a gorillion other anons. I suppose that thought crossed my mind as well.
>>153813376Yeah they should have put some black and white filter on it to sinalize is on the past lmao
>>153813330>Says he hates Pomni while hugging her and crying>This ruins my ship!You just ran into babbies first tsundere and you don't know how to handle it.
was i the only one that understood the scratch thing was a flashback from the start?
>>153813348Yeah we see from the Gangle episode that Pomni isn't some trauma miracle worker. She's willing to reach out and be open with people but not everyone wanted to confide in her. She couldn't really find a way to connect with Gangle, it was Gangle forming a bond with Zooble that allowed her to start breaking free of Jax and finding ways to be happy. Even her interactions with Ragatha. Pomni didn't hate her but until the finale Ragatha thought she did.If anything Kinger was the one who was best able to help people through their shit, it's a shame he never got to have a heart to heart with Jax because he probably would've responded better to an understanding father figure. But he thought Kinger was insane and by the time they found out how to keep Kinger stable he'd already "fucked up" enough that Jax didn't want anything to do with him.
>>153813367Jax manipulated you into telling me to calm down. He got you again.
Now what?
>>153812706>She conjure Gummigoo who is absolutely confused as he only has a memory of living in a desert stealing a truck to help out his mom and his village>she just explain him he's a fake NPC and non of it is real>he goes through everything and tries to cope>this time he also realise Pomni is a goddess real human who made him do it, rather than Caine the other AI>the relationship is Gummigoo either wanting to die with no purpose or seeing Pomni as a God that need appeasing, there is never equality between him and Pomni due to power balance of their circumstancesIt probably woudn't work. We would need a scene that just show Gummigoo being an NPC in one of the adventures we seen in post credits and figuring out his nature on his own and reaching out to Pomni himself. Something that would have been a miracle on the level of abstracted person regaining sanity
>>153813306If they showed that Kaufmo knew as well because Ribbit talked to him about it at some point (and so did betray trust) maybe it would be less moronic and more sympathetic? But they weren't toxic with Jax at all. Jax was the toxic one.
Not enough people are realizing that the ending's new status quo makes it perfect for self-inserting your OC into the circus to befriend or maybe even fuck the characters. Either that or becoming worse than Jax by raping or killing one of the members but that's up to you, friend.
>>153813410uganda gummigoo needs to appease his queen
>>153813357Do you mean this?
>>153813410NTA and I agree with you but let them cook, it sounds pretty interesting. Same way I don't like The amazing digital fight club but it's pretty interesting still
>>153812763>abloo bloo I got rich and live in a giant mansion getting 10% of every view, sale and movie screeningThere are troons who are as fucked as Jax but also poor, who give a shit?
>>153813396>jax is the annoying tsundere that dies in the end of the movie>gummigoo is the cold heartless AI that died multiple timesLets just hope we dont see the fans of both of these 2 fighting for the next 17 years on whos the best boy
Finally watched the finale.That ending was fine, but I don’t see why it needed to be a theatrical release. The story overall was good and Goose made an enjoyable show. Only thing I found weird is how everyone who abstracted stayed abstractions.
Gummiwhos are coping again while forgetting their place...
>>153813421>Gummigoo sees her as his mummi so it'd be too weird now
>>153812777>Scratch in the center and not Jaxeven in death they show disrespect
So how is the Circus still getting new members if everyone is a brain scan, do random people just walk up to the computer and put on a headset and that instantly copies their brains?
>https://youtu.be/qWbwwYoWHuI?si=ZKVGW_FSs4EwrmTS is this close enough to the song?
>>153812746Yeah, I felt it. Especially when Pomni waved goodbye. It's not fair bros, I want a Pomni gf...
>>153813424>>153813357 means this
>>153813405You know anon i was initially ignoring your posts before because they are very long but you are actually very knowledgeable about these characters and you can articulate really well. I agree with everything you said.>>153813406Sure lol
>>153813396they hug while he says that? I WANT THEM TO KISS
>>153813446Yes
>>153813429>Almost half a billion views for the pilot after only 2 yearsThe shipping wars will become legendary after just a single decade.
>>153813437WhY dOeSn'T mAgIc CuRe MeNtAl IlLnEsS
>>153812791I was more intrigued by Ribbit. Was she actually a whose who fucked Kaufmo and wanted to seduce Jax? Was she actually going to use his sissyfication fetish against him to black mail him into becoming her slave or even a pet while Kaufmo is her bull? We may never know as we never knew real Ribbit.
>>153813437Lore reason: abstractsd are corrupted code and not even omnipotent caine was able to fix thatNarrative reason: It would have removed all stakes from the ending
does caine not having the blue AI mean he cant make new NPCs? I ask since maybe Caine could just restore gummigoo, or maybe he's still iffy on free roaming AIs (or not, didnt mind the moon showing agency). What powers were lost?
>>153813398No. It was obvious.
>>153813233What about her being irrelevant?
>>153813460>>153813429>jax even has mommy issues too
>>153813467Please stop being american
>>153812841Shorts will cuck Ragatha and Ragathugs will join Jaxfags in humililation ritual
>>153813469We dont know exactly what not being omnipotent means for caine since he was still able to change the circus alot post finaleSo its a maybeIf they cant tho, caine still can get og gummigoo from the void
>>153813469It's hard to say without Goose or another person on the team confirming since the blue AI wasn't elaborated on enough. Still, the ending implies Caine still retains some capacity to create, and the red dot sequences even imply this was his primary function.
>>153813478well what other things is there to be theres only one country and a bunch of made up ones
>>153813277It’s sad, Ribbit kept reaching out to him because he was her friend, but he could only view her persistence and concern as malicious, like she sensed blood in the water and was circling.Ironically if she’d cared less about him and just wandered off to hang out with someone else he might have calmed down about it in time
>>153812871This isn't a movie for normies. It's ep 8 and 9 for people who seen Ep1-7 so only for fans and that mean 100% of people are aware of the leaks. This could mean only people who just want the theatre experience are going to see it, most of them would already see the leak.
>>153813467I wonder if their dynamic showing ribbit and kaufmo also being kinda toxic would have made jax more sympathetic or not. They didn't seem like mean or manipulative people? At worst you could say kaufmo got overly fixated on the idea of finding the exit and didn't notice the troubles Jax was going through. But I cant think of a single thing Ribbit did wrong.
I can't fucking wait for the ending variant of "Your New Home" to be uploadedIt's so beautiful.
>>153813487This will make some posters screech at me but basically Not including just Ribbit, love makes you do really stupid things if you care enough about someone
>>153813485My headcanon is that blue ai mostly gave him powers to massively change reality like how he did on his freakout in episode 8
>>153812746I feel it too which kinda surprised me. I had a lot of nitpicks with the ending as I was watching it, but it must've done something right because it's definitely sticking with me afterwards. Browsing these threads alleviates the feeling a bit though.
>>153813503>>153812746Ive been hearing tadc music to alleviate this lol
>>153813136Given how he was acting towards Ribbit and Pomni, a volcel for sure.
>>153813500>SpoilersTo err is to be human, even when it's for the sake of love.
>>153813467Ribbit was a pure soul that literally did nothing but try to reach out to jax
>>153813512Real jax is actually quite attractive surprisingly >>153813515I read this as "erotic roleplay is to be human" wtf is wrong with me
>>153813306He probably never had many close friends, so the longest, closest relationship of his life was with his crazy mother. That’s his frame of reference.And being in the circus was sort of a clean slate where he didn’t have to be who he was. Plus not knowing if his mother was okay would be eating away at him. Talking about his old life in such detail just sent him into a spiral.
>>153812647Anime was right. Female characters only need to exist to support male characters or male audience members. Every franchise that does not adhere to this fundamental fact of reality deserves its failure.
>>153813502So caine still is pretty powerful just not god powerful.Still was able to break out of the void and back to the circus which... yeah not surprising as he has done stuff like that before. Still can get why people wouldve preferred it requiring circus members to authorize him returning or it being a backup caine (I thought the bee was what red dot caine looked like lel).He didnt really get any moment with kinger come to think of it.
>>153813515Yes, and sometimes they don't fully understand a person on what could really help then so they try with what they have at disposal, without knowing it may do more harm than goodSometimes persistence just does more harm than good, you can't talk-no-jutsu every problem out
The more I think about it the more I like Jax's story. It's a bitter pill to swallow but it's a message a lot of people need to hear. His insecurity lead to him ruining everything for his friendship group. His hedgehog's dilemma and paranoia, especially in how it was likely brought on by his poor relationship with his parents, felt very well executed and realistic to me. I think it came from a very real place on the writer's part. Overall, solid ending.
Here's my gummigoo episode fanfictionahem...>Pomni doesn't conjure Gummigoo herself because she doesn't feel like she is ready to see him again>every now and then she sighs about it>Ragatha and Caine notice it and since they know her they know what's on her mind>They bring back Gummigoo from the void but he is very depressed and bitter>"Oh shit she can't see him like that!">Ragatha and Caine spend the whole day showing Gummigoo around and making him feel better after the months stuck in the void as Gangle and Zooble have to keep Pomni distracted>after some hijinx and Gummi acting jaded and conflicted about Pomni and the circus he finally meets with Pomni again but it goes south>they have a fight because he felt lied to and forgotten>later he has a one to one with Caine>Caine shows him the photo of him that Pomni asked so she could put it on the funeral shrine>Gummigoo realises she did indeed remember him and that he was too focused on only the bad things that she had no control over>he goes to Pomni's room where they talk it out again this time calmer>their bond regrows now stronger>Gumigoo gets his own room>roll creditsThat's right! I think they should fight upon meeting each other instead of just instantly becoming besties for life
>You have to choose to love yourself. It’s not logical, it’s intentionalSo many conversations throughout this show that Jax needed to hear but never did because he couldn’t talk to anyone and burned all his bridges
>>153813527Madoka doesn't adhere to this rule and it's a very successful franchise though.
tl;Dr slopfest
>>153813529I actually much prefer caine going back by sheer force of will, its his ultimate redemptionThe other options are kinda meh for me, especially the latter. The fact that it was the real caine just without abel made for me his redemption better.
>>153813542>Madoka doesn't adhere to this ruleHe doesn't know
>>153813330“I hate you” is tsundere for “I love you”
>>153812557stick em up, NEGA
>>153813356For fucking real, the Ragatha/Jax neglect is insaneWe also didn’t see her room and she’s the only one besides Kinger to not show up in his mindscape
Unironically if Kinger sat Jax down and talked with him would've helped more than any other circus member ever did.Kinger witnessed Jax at his best and worst, it's fucked up that he didn't even bother about him in the end.
>>153813536I like it! I would just include his brothers in it somehow but its a solid premise, they initially fighting is pretty compelling
>>153812746That is the feeling I got after Murder Drones ended back in 2024
>>153813553Father figures not being there for Jax? What else is new...
>>153813549Why'd you draw her so far away from the rest?
>>153813204I'm so glad the finale confirmed my suspicions that Jax's fixation on Gangle had some sexual undertones.
This finale was great, why is everyone spazzing?
>>153813553Sorry, too busy being a plot exposition mouthpiece
>>153813330He was basically projecting his thoughts about his mother to Ribbit, Ragatha and Pomni. He was as confused about his mother hugging him as about Ribbit and Pomni wanting to befriend him.
>>153813553Kinger doesn't exist after he deletes Caine [who then comes back later on]
EHHHH?! Zooble, you want SCRATCH to pour stupid sauce on you and Ragatha, and in return you are giving him my wife to repeatedly splooge inside and impregnate with his CORRUPTED CANINE offspring for the rest of ETERNITY? And he will invite all the animal NPCs over to GANGBANG her semen soaked coochy like the worst kind of Furaffinity article, spawning horrible humanoid chimeras from her womb which I will then be forced to rear and then sell back to The FUDGE as FULL COURSE DINNERS?! And during all of this, I will be trapped in the Digital DILDO which ABSTRACTED Scratch will have inserted up his puckery glitchy ancient asshole, putting me inches away from my beloved Pomni's annihalated jester pussy, knowing I will NEVER reach it again?! What can I say but YABBA DABBA DOO! LET'S GO TO THE ABSTRACTION AQUARIUM NOW!!!
>>153813565>sexual undertonesIt's... Just a crush, manWhat the fuck
What happened?
>>153813564why wouldnt i?
>>153813542Doesn't one of the main characters have a meltdown after she forced herself into magical girl hell to cure a male crush, only for him to fall for another girl? It's not the entire show or even main duo, but it does stick out.
>>153813540top three things Jax needed to hear:>"I guess I just don't want you to feel like you're nothing. I don't want anybody to feel like that.">"I know how it can feel in this circus. Sometimes it all just feels pointless. But it's not. Not if you have people who care about you. Good memories can do a lot. Hold onto them. And cherish the people around you. You never know when they'll be gone.">"You have to choose to love yourself, even if it doesn't make sense. It's not natural. It's intentional."
>>153813576Crushes are also sexual in nature
>>153813576Nta but he asked her to come to his room cmon lmfao, also its normal to have sexual thoughts with your crush
>>153813577people don't want monopolies
>>153813553Fuck, that actually upsets me>knows for the most part what triggers abstractions witnessing firsthand with his wife>knows how Jax is like and how his ups and downs were>instead of preventing it by making everyone stick together just lets everyone do their own thing
All of this happened because Kaufmo KNOCKED ON RIBBITS DOOR AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME dammit
>>153813557best I can think of is him asking at the very end if his lads could come too? before credits roll lol
>>153813590i hate monopolies, they come out with like a different theme to the same game every year and they all SUCK
>>153813405I (>>153813316) am not saying Pomni’s a miracle worker, just that she happened to be doing what Jax needed and it was demonstrably working. It just couldn’t compete with several simultaneous crises, but in a more stable environment it probably would have helped a lot.And Jax has always been unwell but he hasn’t always been suicidal, as far as we can tell episode 7 was his first attempt, and that was because his fight with Pomni exposed him to his patterns and sent him into a crisis
>>153813576Asking someone to come to your room like that is 100% sexual.
>>153813590Monopoly implies that glitch is doing anything to sabotage other indie animation companies
>>153813595I wonder if he would ask caine to make his mother real
>>153813424Wonder why they made it for Jax but not for Queenie...
>>153813583It's basically hopepunk misery porn for male magical girl otaku saviorfags and /u/fags. The Rule is iron and undefeated.
>>153813593And his fucking talk about "in this world, the worst thing you can do is... make someone think they're not wanted or loved" applies to Jax perfectly
>>153813596Maybe don't play with house rules then you fucking faggot
>>153813577Not sure what they talk about, but I'm waiting for Kevin's demons to finally catch up to him. I'm almost certain he was the main one who pushed for this finale to be in theaters, and got no reason to believe he learned much from past incidents.
based Kinger also being complicit on letting Jax abstractgood riddance
>>153813568Immature audience that can't handle their favorite character not having a happy ending
>>153813536what I like about this is that even tho it's about pomni and gummigoo it's at its core a ragatha and caine adventure
>>153813553but anon then the melodramatic plot wouldn't happen at all!!! we can't have that now can we?
>>153813568Creator's barely disguised fetish for a humiliation ritual to a character he despises(himself)
>>153813536Also goddamn his size is so inconsistent lmfaoSome scenes hes at pomni size and others hes jax size
>>153813497It’s just flawed people in an unfortunate situation.Ribbit pushed a bit too hard, Kaufmo was fucking oblivious, everyone else missed that anything was going on and that they needed support. And for the other 90% of the problems, Jax was Jax
>>153813605he would probably ask caine to make his little village real then either he'd move there and only visit the circus from time to time or then he would send Chad and Max there so they could live happily somewhere that's actually there
>>153813630>NPC scaling is all over the placeMakes sense if you think about it.
You guys keep saying that goose included her fetishes in this show like im not supposed to think that is based as hell
>>153813608fuck, true
>>153813631(To clarify, I’m not saying these are things they did wrong (except for Jax lol), just that they’re things that happened that led to all those problems)
>>153813486All countries existed before USA. You are all just a bunch of British colonists mixed with African slaves who stole the land from Native Americans and now LARP as an independent country. Literally the only country similar to USA is Israel.
>>153813630true
is jax hugging pomni at the end a ROMANTIC hug?
>>153813568>>153813620i don't understand why you have to posture differing opinions as the wrong opinion
>>153813647not really.t's more of a melancholic hug because there is no coming back and jax is not going to be saved
>>153813652It's called being a shill
>>153811186This show is highly satanic because it was made by a trannysexualised and they kill GOD
>>153813647well....
>>153813520>The worst thing you can do in this world is make someone feel like they’re not wanted or loved>I just don’t want you to feel like you’re nothing. I don’t want anyone to feel like that
>>153813640I am completely okay with fetish writing. I am not okay with bad fetish writing. Incorporating your toon physics fetish into a Friend Like Me number is perfectly narratively coherent. Ending your gnostic fairytale with your lobotomy fetish so that character arcs get completely derailed?
>>153813520She should had start with an offer for a blowjob if she wanted to get his attention
>>153813614does it matter? the house always wins!
>>153813634>g: so like can you make my momma and my village, like, an actual thing... >c: oh you know i didnt REALLY think that fa-*sees pomni on the side of gummigoo basically begging with her eyes*>c: .... i will see what i can do for you.
>>153813647the only part even close to that is her having a jax montage ragapom got a whole 360 on their hug
>>153813640I do enjoy when an artist really bears their soul>>153813652I don't, it's not everyone. But a lot of people's opinions are wrong for that reason. That and just overhype that no ending could possibly live up to for everyone
>>153813654fuck you! he wants to fuck her!
>>153813536>Pomni friends invent life and groom it as a toy for PomniHow is that different from Rick Sanchez creating life to pass the butter?
>>153813657wrong, they realize the errors of their ways and bring god back and then one of the trannysexualised kill themselves
>>153813593Kinger also did pep talks to others and not just PomniHilarious to think Jax was excluded
>>153813553Instead Kinger solidifies his downfall by revealing for no fucking reason while they’re already going through a crisis that they’re not even real peopleI don’t blame Kinger, I blame Goose, so fucking lazy
>>153813678Oh its you highly satanic bro, you finally sticked around in the thread
>>153813677how is that your take away?
>>153813576>don’t act like you don’t like it, kitten>come to my room later
Important to notice that Jax himself did not care that much about the guys in the circus and was very apathetic towards them besides kaufmo, i assume that is mostly because of his absent father. So i think the reason they didn't connect much is there.
would ragatha like my christmas themed pajamas with trucks and trees and some snow?
imagine shrinking and caine just swallows you
>>153813687It's not even being lazy, just outright malicious when it comes down to Jax by having just the right options to fix him bur ignoring in favor to others while he's self-destructing harder and harder
>>153813699What if he just wanted play monopoly with gangle huhh?????
>>153813535>I think it came from a very real place on the writer's part.Jax landed uncomfortably close to mental states I've been in, I think you're right that this feels like writing from experience. I was kind of sick of Jax by episode 8 and got blindsided by relating to him as much as I did. Kind of a skill issue overall though. If you're afraid of being vulnerable then you can't open up and then try to take it back. The pro strat is to be so avoidant you don't even end up in that situation in the first place, just quietly fading out of everybody's lives.
>>153813711You're ignoring the part where Jax actively pretended nothing was wrong and pushed everyone away. It's like you didn't even watch the episode.
>>153813709he wouldnt do that, and i am not gonna imagine that
I remember theorizing that Kaufmo and Ribbit were kinda like, more mean/toxic/bad trait enabling with Jax for whatever reason.And then it turns out Jax was a paranoid fuck who shunned them out of his fear of people knowing his mom sucks and he's homeless... but this is still meant to be seen as a tragedy, I wonder if there are some things lost in translation going on so i'll just wait for the english version.
>>153813608It’s so sad man, he made Ribbit feel like that and his mother made him feel like that. And then at the very end after it’s too late he realises the love and care he was shown and felt like it was wasted.>You shouldn’t have come here, you shouldn’t have cared for me, you shouldn’t have loved me
>>153813684Did... did Kinger have one meaningful conversation with Gangle or Zooble?
>>153813663>ragatha: "you know, Caine, I lived in the country side! I could help you design it!">gangle: "I was actually drawing something of a western toen for our campaing I think we could use that as a base!">zooble: "sounds like fun. I'll call Kinger.">caine: "That's it everyone! today's adventure will be building a home for our gummy friend!"
>>153813717*bubble suddenly appears on your back*>just imagine tho...
Knowing Goose doesn't care kind of makes me not care either. The ending was bad, oh well, there will be other cartoons or maybe not given the imminent apocalypse. Whatever. I had fun for a while.
>>153813716And you're ignoring the whole post chainIf you want to go on with your own hateboner about Jax, by all means go ahead, but don't try poisoning the well about discussion
Why does Twitter hate Gummigoo?
>>153813715>The pro strat is to be so avoidant you don't even end up in that situation in the first place, just quietly fading out of everybody's lives.That's what I did. I've been here way too long though. Maybe this episode will help give me the motivation to change my ways, even though it feels way too late and hopeless
>>153813727Come and join me on watching his hubris as his fans keeps turning on him
>>153813725>*bubble suddenly appears on your back*
>>153813730I didn't ignore it. I just think you can't blame Kinger or the writer.
>>153813731they gummidoo? weird. he always seemed very well liked last time i checked there was porn of him being made
>yfw probably the first real no-strings hug Jax has ever received in his fucking life was when he was panicking into eternal oblivion
>>153813553The problem was Jax was always very distant to Kinger while Kinger was mostly insane interacting with the light. Daddy issues of Jax prevented him from interacting and bonding with Kinger, only seeing him as an old crazy man. I think a normal masculine personality of Gummigoo experienced in dealing with his sibling would have been closer to reaching out and helping him in a "man's talk"
GANGLE WILL CRAWL INSIDE MY EURETHRA AND LIVE THERE IN PISS
>>153813724*screen turns to black**suddenly we see every cast member talking to eachother and caine looking at them from a distance*>c(thinking): OH GOD I DONT REMEMBER HOW HIS MOTHER LOOKED LIKE
>Like a prayer - Deadpool and wolverine >Isn't she lovely - TADC Who did it better?
>>153813720I like the pre Episode 9 fanon version of them so much more. I don't like Misaki-but-Worse Ribbit and Kind-of-Just-There Kaufmo, I like teasing-troll-oneesan Ribbit and Rodney-Dangerfield Kaufmo being mocking friendly ghosts from beyond the grave. Before Ribbit abstracted, the trio should have been getting up to cartoonish shenanigans every day, and Jax' cartoon thing is a desperate attempt to recapture that dynamic instead of...nothing, Ribbit is just a cinnamon role punching bag.
>>153812746Had it when Teen Titans endedWhen Avatar TLA endedWhen MLP endedWhen Naruto Shippuuden endedWhen Danganronpa franchise ended with V3And now with TADC. And i feel next going to be Deltarune chapter 7.
>>153813741>I think [NPC that doesn't matter and needs to be butted in every discussion] could fix this thoughI don't care about someone this irrelevant to the story, stop trying to be like the Hello Neighbor dev by shoveling him everywhere you can
>>153813754Damn anon you are old (jk jk)
>>153812746honestly never felt this sort of despair until with circus. i guess i just never got attached to something like this since i even bought fucking circus merch and never ever bought merch in the past
>>153813711It’s so weird, because we’re supposed to believe Jax’s downfall is his own making, and like 90% of it is, but literally everyone in episode 9 is forced to act out of character in order to justify the actual crucial moment of his abstractionIt wouldn’t feel so cruel if he was the one to blame for being alone, if he started treating everyone like shit again so they’d cut out the suicide watch. Instead he’s the one reaching out to them, after a prolonged period of incremental improvement, just to end up abstracting anyway.It just really feels like Goose couldn’t commit to a direction, and decided being inconsistent is the same as being complex
>>153813743>its a everyone has fun but caine that needs to go deep into his mind to remember how gummigoo's momma looked like episode>>153813764What merch you bought
>>153813743*caine spend the rest of the episode trying to model a cool croc mum for gummigoo but he got the art block and keeps restarting it*
>>153813715>>153813732My people
>>153813771>>153813770I like this idea, someone send to glitch and make them pays us on pomnibillion dollars
>>153813754I'm so glad I'm not a normal cartoonfag like this lmao. I had this feeling when I finished Infinite Jest though. Mixed feelings on the ending and allWhy am I here again?
>>153813647Well its close to Doctor Who saying goodbye to Rose and that was romantic. Although in the proper context i think Jax just project Pomni onto his mother as he became what he is through the trauma and guilt, which is why he turn out to be a fine lad in his human form.
>>153813716He was doing that in 8 too, didn’t stop everyone from putting him on suicide watch
glitch should hire me unironically
>>153813732You cannot avoid people forever anon, i hope you get better>>153813776One*
>>153813727Yeah it really feels like she got burnt the fuck out and yada yada’d some holes in her script in favour of perfecting the big set piecesThere’s so much in the finale that’s good, but so many crucial things that just make it fucking awful and mean and lazy
>>153813770>>153813771>it ends on gangle catching onto it and helping him>in the end they go to show gummigoo his mom and they're nervous>she is acartoon blue and yellow crocodile fat lady but she also has anime eyes>the human cast looks at it with a "WTF did you guys do?" face>Gummigoo unironically loves it and goes to hug his mom and thank Caine and Gangle
>>153813789>You cannot avoid people forever anon, i hope you get betterI'm 10 years in, it's really hard to pull out now. But I will try.
Being avoidant is easy, just trick a graphics card into thinking it's your girlfriend.
>>153813550Ragatha was so mishandled it pisses me off. Pomni/Jax/Ragatha trio dynamic was so good.
>>153813770the plushes (i also got one acrylic keychain coming to me soon)
>>153813811im not avoidant I just am structurally isolated
>>153811186But why was Jax scared of corn
oh i get it caine was fed childish kiddy stuff so he is whismyabel was fed mature lab stuff which is why he swears and talks about sex
>we never find out what happens when Jax holds his breath
>>153813768The only consistent part on Goose was making Jax be in pain as much as possible
New thread!>>153813807>>153813807>>153813802Im glad u are trying anon :) its never too late, i used to be that way for 7 years of my life too.>>153813801Good ending!!!>>153813813Thats alot of ragathas
>>153813823It reminded him of his mom who force fed him corn every day
>>153813720Goose has a problem with keeping her mouth shut and said this about Jax on Blusky: what it Jax was a bad person because of the choices he makes and continues to make and has always made?What happened between Jax and Pomni in episode 6 wasn't special. He did it before with Ribbit, and the show makes it seem like he also did it with Ragatha if at a lesser extent.
>>153813823Trypophobia, just a humanising little quirk to establish he’s sharing somewhat vulnerable information about himself with Pomni
>>153813828She turns pinks and sprouts daisies
>>153813836there can never be enough Ragatha!!!
>>153813832lol fr, it feels like everything was just written around that goal
>>153813723Who really knows, if he did it was off-screen but he does have a penchant of running his mouth to motivate someone when given the chance He picked up on Pomni feeling helpless really fast and even admired her resilience It's not like he's mentally fully gone and doesn't remember everything when he's in that fugue state
>>153813836>Im glad u are trying anon :) its never too late, i used to be that way for 7 years of my life too.Don't congratulate me yet, I haven't started trying just yet. But I just need to put the effort in and build a whole new life from scratch. How hard can it be?
>>153813832I swear it is like one group of people thinks Jax gets away with everything and is abuser you're supposed to be nice to another group of people thinks Jax is just being tortured constantly and exists to be tortured.
>>153812763
>>153813863Its truly not as hard as it looks like, especially if you have someone you trust irl you can still do it regardless tho
>>153813868jax if he scorpion
>>153813869I hope you're right. I really really do. Really the pain of wasted time is the hardest part, but it's not going to get any better sitting here.
>>153812763boohoo!!! i got mwga rich making a cartoon waaah waaaah i have a billion fans boohooohooohooo I got my creation to play on teathers world-wild waaaah waaaaahh
>>153813866He gets away with a lot of stuff (external), and exists to be tortured (internal).
>>153813888Im rooting for you anon! Appear more on the threads when you can.
>>153813900Will do. I'm not even a super regular I just show up when there's a new episode. Glad I found more value in it than everyone else seemed to. Good night.
>>153813868>"lol" said the scorpion. "lmao"
>>153813900What the fuck i didnt meant to use that image sorry>>153813912Good night!
>>153813930
>>153813944i was joining in on the joke albeit i did a pretty shit job
>>153812746No, this is what I felt.
>>153812746Yes I was really depressed before sleep.
>>153812834Oh actually. Didn't Goose say a few days ago that the last ep is not ready?
>>153813715>The pro strat is to be so avoidant you don't even end up in that situation in the first place, just quietly fading out of everybody's lives.Yeah, I always say I'll come back once I sorted out my problems, but somehow 20 years have passed since then and I'm still not ready.
>>153814427They should have really just plagiarized Fight Club for the "exploring Jax's mind" ending
>>153814427>>153814513Also no, gooseworx just mentioned that there were some small touch-ups to make like color grading
>>153813836>>153813863I've been withdrawn for ca. 20 years, been saying "just a few more months and things will have been sorted out" for the past 10 years. But what's worse than screwing myself over is that I actually managed to bond with someone and enter a relatively stable distance relationship, and I'm leaving them waiting and waiting for me to finish my degree and shipy stuff and arse over there.Jax fears/regrets intimacy due to blackmail paranoia, I regret when people care about me because I'm afraid I won't stop being a disappointment. With TADC, I kinda latched onto Caine, so I hope I can will myself into a better place after all. Like Caine, it only took me about 20 years of feeling tortured to get there.
