We never got to hear him speak OR explain himself!!!!!!
>>154327635It was made pretty clear his motivation wasHe got a brain tumor and wanted to live on through a computer but didn't give his digital clone admin powers so he got fucked
I completely forgot about him popping up, This and the completely offscreen jax abstraction really bugged me. Not to mention the whole error with the doors in the flashback having gangle and dooble portraits on them
>>154327635Yet ANOTHER fucking spam thread
>>154327635Everything about the finale felt rushed and poorly paced. Shit just happened, one thing after another, with no fucking set up.
you're low t if you don't want to fuck evil pomni
>>154327754I'd consider it at least
>>154327754She's basically Susie Deltarune
>>154327635>be modern showrunner>put a bunch of lore in your show to intrigue the audience>suddenly get upset that people only care about the lore>decide to tank the show and give a middle finger to all the fans on the way outWhy is this such a common thing nowadays?If you have a problem with people on social media just go private or don't respond. Why make the rest of the audience suffer for some loudmouth morons?
>>154329006Stories should be interesting based on how expressive and expansive the world around it is built. So when a creator creates an interesting concept, but doesn't follow through, it becomes a turnoff for the people that were once enjoying the story. Many such cases, it makes me quite sad.
>>154327681The offscreen abstraction was to emphasize Jax's isolation.
>>154327681Him popping up was a flashback to Caine creating the circus meant to parallel Caine reaching outside his box to find the brain scans with Caine reaching outside his bigger box to find information about the outside world and the lives of the people he's trapped in a digital hell showing he was attaining deeper understanding of his humans.
>>154329124Also the suddenness of suicides from the perspective of survivors. One moment someone's there and the next they aren't.Bearing in mind abstraction is an explicit metaphor for suicide (also why Jax says he doesn't want it to happen after it's already too late to reverse course, referencing a common sentiment of suicide survivors).Honestly all things considered, everything with Jax was handled really well except the trans shit could have been a little more explicit for the dumbfucks in the audience.
This ain't about him
>>154329211Sorry bro getting boot camped into the trans mentality by an overweight 40yo discord moderator in a dress didn’t make you “smart”
>>154329253I'm cis, m8.
>>154329211Abstraction doesn't work for a suicide metaphor because of one simple fact: the character is changed, but not gone. Pomni can *literally* go and talk to Jax any time again, she'll just need Caine to zap her back to a non-glicthing status every time.
>>154327754I know a guy who ships caine with coach dictatorer lel
>>154329211Abstraction = suicide seems to be the intent, but it barely makes sense in universe with how abstraction creates a monster form.It really seems more like Alzheimer’s than suicide in some ways.
I wanna fuck dog
>>154327635>He got a brain tumor and wanted to live on through a computerlol
I am 95% sure that the direction of the series changed. There is no way this was the planned finale when episode 1 was made.1 to 4 seem like the original premise of new worlds each time with a cast member getting their spotlight. Episode 5 was a course changing pivot. Episode 6 to 8 was the new direction. And 9 was just a crash out that ignored all the set-up.
>>154327754Mating press followed by full-nelson
>>154329711>Abstraction doesn't work for a suicide metaphor because of one simple fact: the character is changed, but not goneIf the character were gone, it wouldn't be a fucking metaphor. It would just be suicide.
>>154330208I forget the name, but I remember reading a sci-fi book where the characters were agonizing over the continuity flaw because they had to evacuate a planet but time constraints meant their only option was to make brain scans of the people on the doomed world then download those brain scans into blank clones on the new world. Everyone was upset that instead of them being evacuated, it'd be copies of copies being spun-up on a new world.The way they solved the continuity problem was by lying about solving the continuity problem and setting up an automated process to quickly and quietly obliterate the people after the brain scans were finished.>>154330252I can't put my finger on any scene in particular, but there were times I got the feeling that they had a different ending in mind when they started making the episode and had to repurpose some of the scenes. Just little disjointed bits and oddities here and there.
