    I think people exaggerated Jax's behavior in this episode. It's not like he suddenly became something he's not. He has always been an asshole.

    He does have one moment of saving Kinger and the ribbon guy in episode 1 from basically guaranteedly being kaufmo'd. Which is consistent with him in this episode briefly looking sad over Kaufmo's funeral.

    Being disappointed that Jax isn't the "Secretly Troubled" trope after the creator went on record multiple times to unambiguously say shit like *"He's Chaotic Evil"* and *"He deserves to be at the circus"* is crazy. A character can be likable AND a totally irredeemable jerk at the same time

    I am getting flashbacks to the RWBY fandoms absurd obsession with Adam Taurus the racist, murderous, terrorist who was introduced as such, never once showed any signs that he was anything more than that, and yet still plenty of fans decided he was secretly a super cool anti hero and that the writers ruined him by having the audacity of maintaining a consistent fully villainous character arc for him. It's a curse of character design, if you make a neat looking character and then let the fans stew on not much information for too long then they are gonna theory craft and fan fiction their way into hating whatever winds up actually being canon if it proves their ideas wrong.

    You’re not alone in the “there’s nothing wrong with it, it just don’t click for me” train. This has happened to me SOOOO many times, I swear. Sometimes I get into a series or cartoon that is very well written, but I can’t really connect with it in the way it’s expected and it feels like I’m just nodding along as the plot goes. And honestly, that’s normal, it just means that it isn’t something that you’re vibing with currently. Sometimes it’s personal preference, other times it’s because of personal stuff going on in your life, it happens and it is okay. You’re not obligated to like something just because other people do. Just go with whatever is in your heart!

    This was me with the Barbie movie! It sucks cause I literally got told by one person that they’re surprised I didn’t like it because I’m also a woman and questioned if I was really a feminist. No girl I think it’s because I grew up with the animated Barbie movies and I just couldn’t go with the vibe they were going for with the movie. It just felt very Hollywood to me and a bit bland near the end. Still a good movie I just didn’t click with it like if someone wanted to watch it with me I would but I wouldn’t go out of my way to see it again unlike other movies.

    Ngl I wasn’t huge on Jax, but I kinda like him now that he’s worse. Nothing in the circus matters, and he’s cruel and callous and that keeps him sane, entertained, and emotionally distant. He doesn’t care and that keeps him from abstracting. Like he sucks so much, and that’s intriguing in the context of the circus.

She had no idea it would blow up Also it's totally fine if you don't like a show or not enjoy it as much as many other people, the fans of the show are crazy if they think that's unacceptable (I mean most are but that's every fandom ever so yea.)

I'd argue that show is the kind of "trying too hard" with emotional moments, comedy, forcing drama everywhere etc. TADC has 2 episodes so I'm not as insanely over obsessed like some weirdo's, but I believe both episodes have demonstrated surperior character writing and world building. There's far more subtlety to each character and not everything is shoved in our face.

I never said you couldn't judge a piece, I'm saying that more people need to learn to tell the difference between a critique that actually improves the piece in what it's trying to be or a critique on the message vs a critique that simply serves to make the piece more palletable to the critic.

    I feel like the way Jax acted in this episode was fine. Honestly, he was the one making things happen. Jax is always the one causing trouble or some sort of problem. If that’s not happening, there would be nothing interesting for the episode to happen. For example, he’s the one who threw Pomni out of the truck, causing her to end up under the map eventually. And it’s not like he outright hates the other members. He just knows how to take advantage of anyone he sees, like how he was going to use the Fudge to take down the tanker by offering it access into the kingdom(if the tanker hadn’t fallen out of the sky right next to them) Jax just…happens to *always* be with the other main characters, so of course he would bully them the most.

    I might be reaching here, but I think that Caine's jokes are written to be semi/poorly executed because he is learning. Even in this episode he stated that the NPC will AI will be 57 times more immersive THIS TIME. He is still learning comedic timing. Him spouting jokes like this is meant to add to that feeling of mental instability. The fact that your life is in the hands of something so unknowingly cruel, but trying to be goofy, is definitely something that would make most people terrified. Again, I might be reaching, but its a thought.

    I agree with you on the front about the existential stuff not QUITE hitting the way it’s supposed to on account of genre savviness. Like, as soon as Gumigoo found the out of bounds, I immediately knew where his story was going to go, including Caine deleting him That said, I do not think it was bad. As you said, the scene was incredibly well directed and the voice acting was on point. What felt like a bit of a (dare I say) paint-by-numbers “the AI/NPC character realises their life is a lie” scene, they executed on the delivery extremely well I am also aware that my feelings towards the scene and Gumigoo’s eventual destruction are heavily shaded by the fact that I am used to these tropes. In fact, I have consistently hyperfixated on media that deal with these concepts for about a decade now, whether it be a main focus (Undertale, HLVRAI) or in the thematic ballpark (Portal 1+2, Homestuck, Red vs Blue) I will say though, this is episode 2. I don’t expect Digital Circus to be pulling on the bangers right out of the gate. What I hope for, is that these scenes (Pomni’s horror in Ep 1 and Gumigoo’s revelation in Ep 2) is they act as stepping stones/set-up for more unique and developed concepts down the line This show has the potential to go into some heart-wrenching, mind-breaking shit down the road and I am all here for it

    You know, this topic of genre savviness reminds me of SOMA. Long story short, SOMA is a horror game about consciousness, replication, robots and experiences. Some people have made whole muli-hour long videos or paragraphical comments on how amazing SOMA is, how it really made them think or changed their life with thought provoking questions that hit them at their core. Others though, feel that SOMA doesn’t say anything new and that it’s not even that deep. That other things have done far more and delved far deeper (without needing an absolute idiot protagonist, for instance). To them, SOMA’s about as deep as Michal Bay’s Transformers, and about as popular too. Neither side is necessarily “wrong”, but there’s something to be said about awareness, letting one enjoy things, and probably something about how much content we get/have nowadays.

    I also had the same problem with the existentialism where I just didn't Click with Gummigu's revelation that he's an npc and even in the pilot where Pomni has the realization that she's not able to go back to the real world and she's stuck as a digital clown, but I also don't get why I wasn't feeling anything during these moments. I wonder if it's because we never really know who Pomni is before she arrives to the digital circus? So our introduction to her is already her as she is now and there's no real sense that she's really lost anything. I think she even mentioned that she doesn't really remember her own life before (though, I could be wrong about this, I haven't gone back to check...), so we don't even know what motivated her to "log in" to the digital circus. Though, this might contradict how she said she remembers how even people in the real world feel like they're nothing, so... I guess for Gummigu, it would be the fact that we don't really see his reaction to learning he's an npc? As in, we see his reaction to piecing the dots, but I think the episode kind of skips over how he reacts to Pomni confirming that he's not "real" and all we see next is him just sitting there. He's kind of already at the depression-acceptance stage of his grief/existential crisis. Maybe I would've felt more sympathy with him if we got to see him struggling to really accept that this is what he is. Or even when he first sees the models of himself and his crew, maybe it would've helped if he tried to wake them up or talk to them instead of somewhat immediately realizing the implications of seeing the models. I don't know, I guess what I'm saying is that the emotions for the scene-- despite how tense it was with the silence-- just felt really muted for how big the revelation was. Though, maybe this can also apply to Pomni...? I can kind of see how the series wants to portray these moments of existential dread, but when everyone keeps on having suppressed emotions and just kind of revealing how they're breaking down in brief bursts (ie Pomni at the end of the pilot), it kind of feels like they're not really letting these characters (or at least the ones who are new to this situation) actually React to it. If that makes sense. But I'm also not sure if this is what is exactly why I didn't connect with the existentialism. This is just the best I can think is the reason.

    I think it makes sense that your not clicking with Digital Circus, I've personally watched quite a few series in which no matter how good it is it just doesn't emotionally connect with me. Something about how instead of seeing them as people struggling in situations I see them as characters going though premade arcs and tropes. I've chosen not to watch DC because I know it won't click, I think it's because I've had to deal with existential questions and have (mostly) come out the other side, so seeing characters struggle with questions I already have answers to makes me disconnect with their struggle rather that sympathize with them. (Maybe it stems from a 'been there, done that', still fighting that battle) I suspect you're having a similar problem given how you talk about what 'makes life worth living' Anyways you don't deserve hate over not clicking with something (but you already know that) and I look forward to your next review

    I've got a couple of theories... One of them is Caine is an AI who's undergone rampancy like in Marathon or Halo. He may have been created to produce code and change the game in real time but it had the negative effect that Caine was quickly able to realize he was an AI. This might be why he doesn't want the NPCs interacting with the players. If the NPCs show the ability to be aware of their setting and circumstances they may also have the ability to go through rampancy. So Caine may want to keep them separate because he's terrified of the Circus having more than one rampant AI because then they'll start seeing themselves as human. The other is that Caine may indeed be a trapped human. Specifically he's one of the original game developers. C&A = Caine and Abel

    I think I get what you mean when you say you weren't really emotionally invested in the Gummygoo scene. I have the same feeling and I think it's just because I know exactly what kind of show this is, I've seen it before, I can't get myself to emotionally connect because I know full well that my emotional connection will get exploited by the show later on.

    honestly i agreed another with the first video, the pilot just didn't click for me the same way it apparently did for the wider internet. it's like what was said on this one, the feeling of "oh, I've seen this before" and it having been so played out you're just jaded. I did enjoy this episode way more and was able to see where they want to take things to. big pro for this ep was also the fact that it was set in a different location, the circus is just way too much eyestrain for me personally and i feel like that detracted from my overall experience. i am looking forward to what digital circus has to offer once they find their legs, for now i remain skeptical but optimistic.

    Similar to what you were saying, I couldn’t check into the existentialism of the first episode. It was a bunch of cool theatrics, but that’s all it felt like. However the second episode finally hit the ground running with Gummigoo’s realization of his purpose. It actually got me really invested in him and his character. The show actually fooled me into thinking we would keep Gummigoo only to actually feel sad somewhat when he was deleted. (I don’t normally get attached to characters in any show lmao)

    Glad that you've stuck to your guns about this show, I feel like I'm in the same place with you. I keep watching, waiting for it to click for me the same way it clearly is with so many others and it just isn't? I can see how much technical skill was put into it, but it just doesn't resonate with me at all? And every time I watch it, I feel this... sparseness to everything and I can never tell if it's in the show itself, or just my feelings towards it. Appreciate you putting yourself out there and working through it for all of us to get to engage with, even with such a rabid fan base to contend with. I feel like It helps me sort through my thoughts and feelings as well.

    I'm also finding myself check out at the more serious moments and I can't put my finger on why. I think it might have something to do with the pacing - like, everything is moving or switching too fast and it's not giving me enough time to get emotionally invested which is why it feels so performative despite being technically done so well. Also, I think Jax is a lesson in the power of a great character design overpowering perception of their actual character.

    Saw a video that talked about drama vs melodrama where it was basically drama happens because the characters actions and who they are so therefore you can relate and can understand how they are feeling since you understand them at some deeper level, where as in melodrama is more superficial and something that anybody could go through like example sheriff guy's wife got uppercutted to the moon or his partner got styled on at work 1 week before retirement that sort of stuff, so you feel more disconnected, in the first episode you don't know who pomni is or why she is there so she as character is only her context she is trapped and she doesn't want to be, kinda the same thing with npc, melodrama also hits harder when you the characters at a deeper level, like when the mc's mentor dies or the side character who was always by their side also dies or gets crippled or something

I want to see him double down on his assholery and casual cruelty until he pushes somebody's buttons hard enough that when they're on a cliff with a bunch of abstractions below, and he's teetering on the edge, somebody reaches out a hand to help... then changes their mind and pushes him.

    to jax change it would need a very crushing realization, if not, it would need very tragic consequences for him to change, but those consequences would change him not for the better, so is better it to be a realization of something than a catastrophe with severe consequences that might not change him and even make him be way worse as he is now just so that he could not think or care about the consequences of his actions anymore, something more and more kinda close to how kinger does, live the present and forget little by little the horrible past you lived through

    I think the issue you have with DC might be based in the fact that analyzing shows has become your job, so instead of being in the brain mode where you can relate to the show you instead are in the mode where you can only appreaciate the execution of the show or what it's trying to do. I take story telling and animation classes and I have the same problems with DC, I just also have it with other shows.

    I was feeling the same way about the existentialism…I was disconnected from it and wasn’t clicking-until Pomni made an emotional connection with Gummigo and the funeral at end of the episode. I think it’s just having enough of existential dread and nihilism and having more appreciation for the way our relationships and connections with other people combat it. “Yeah yeah none of us matters we’re not real whatever BUT I LOVE MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THEY MAKE IT ALL WORTH IT DAMMIT”

  • @Pfincess

    I'm someone who has way too many mental issues, but a lot of them kinda tie into the show. A lot of the others in my head wrestle with existential fears of not being real, the world not being real, their body not being theirs, not relating at all to a name that isn't theirs, or just that their memories aren't real and often struggle to adapt to reality and the horrors that come with sharing a body with 13 other people who sometimes some of them aren't the nicest to each other. It's a situation that all of us are in together and while each might have slightly different base situations- it's all essentially just the same thing, and nomatter what, We're in it together. These are the vibes that I feel from it and is what makes it click so well and gives us high hopes for it.

  • @AdventofMechanus

    The one aspect I'm looking forward to is the looming differences of Jax and Pomni. Jax feels like he's going to be the gung-ho "Pro-Circus" leader, given the sheer freedom he thinks it gives him. He's going to be the biggest denier of leaving, and it's hopefully an interesting character moment from him if a true exit shows up. Pomni, on the other hand, is going to be the de-facto "Anti-Circus" character, given that she acts directly opposite to the status-quo in many ways. You can even tell by her design, given the fact she is dressed as a Jester, which was historically used to mock and critique those in charge with impunity. I can't wait to see how this all pans out over the season, or the show overall.

    Honestly, it’s probably just personal taste. Ands that’s fine! You don’t have to like everything, if TADC just doesn’t gel with you, you aren’t obligated to like it or watch it just because it’s popular indie animation. There’s nothing wrong with sharing those opinions either, and no piece of media will ever feel perfect to everyone, there will always be elements that just don’t land. I think TADC is very cool, and can’t really vibe with stuff like Hazbin, but it’s really interesting to hear what people who are passionate about it have to praise or critique. It’s perfectly fine to just… not like something.

    Asking me to care about existential dread is a hard sell. I don't claim to be well adjusted, but I've long since accepted that most of our life is out of our control, there is no point beyond what we make of it, and the we die. So when I see artists go to great lengths to accurately and even beautifully portray that dread through a character's experience... well, it has no impact on me, besides feeling sorry for them. Sympathy, but no empathy, for this particular topic.
