Just one clarification that's probably already been mentioned, but Murder Drones was created by Liam Vickers, while TADC was created by Gooseworx, while they were both produced by Glitch, the writing is by different people
Sometimes, you forget the deep, philosophical moments hidden in Destiny 2. Given the themes and nature of its universe, this layer of philosophy isn’t too surprising though. The Final Shape, after all, is viewed by some to be the end of everything, so life doesn’t exist and continue just to suffer upon being destroyed by a meteor, or die upon the sun exploding. Why suffer when everything can just end? To exist is to suffer, in the effort to continue existing. That’s the philosophy of the Witness and it’s Final Shape. But, pain and hardship, that’s what makes life what it is. Without pain or strife to know where alive, and can challenge the odds aginst us, how is that living? The same goes for Madara in Naruto. He’d wished for everyone to never know pain, achieving this by keeping humanity in a state of constant, mental catharsis, a coma or dream they couldn’t wake up from, trapped in a stasis of bliss and joy, without despair or pain. But, a paradise like that cannot exist, because human nature, the mind, cannot accept such paradise if built on a lie. Pain, strife, hardship, as much as they hurt, they are needed in our lives. It’s a necessary, cruel truth. But, sometimes that’s better than a sweet lie.
Didn't expect such a large comment. But yeah I also really live how the Hive in Destiny represent the Armstrong from MGR where the idea is that the strong rule over the weak. So that you get stronger by defeating others and thus prove your right of existence. I really like the lore surrounding this Hive philosophy. Destiny has such interesting and expansive lore that you can just loose yourself in it which I love. Edit: another thing that has done that well is For Honor. Apolleon was such a great villain in such a badly written story. She saw the world as a place where the strong terrorize the weak because they cannot best themselves against the strong. So she made war, became the war in order to create a world where her worldview would also thrive. Even after her death she managed to get the factions to fight, so that the strong can fight each other and don't have to let it out on the weak, as they would supply them. Such an interesting concept
Didn't expect a discussion over the deeper themes of destiny 2, but it's a welcome surprise. The writing of destiny is often overly criticized and underappreciated, but there is so much amazing literature within the game and it's universe.
@@garrettviewegh9028 Wrong. Eliminating pain and hardship that we never asked for makes life what it is. Is you know what it's called when you'r not in constant pain or strife to know where alive, and aren't always againt the odds? That's called living a good life. Some would say priviledged. Otherwise people like hobos with no homes, no income , and no reliable food source are living better then you because they face all of the those things every day right? Surely they appreciate life more right? Here's a hint: they would trade their suffering and struggle for yours in a heartbeat. But what's the limit you ask? The real question is who decides the limit of what one should suffer and struggle through? Sounds like a job for a cruel man or a god with all the time in the world. As for your Madara example, he wanted to use an illusion of of course it would eventually fail that's just simple long term thinkihng. But when a legitimate, totally not fake, literal Deus Ex Machina solution appears right before you then it is oibjectively the wrong answer to not take it The whole "struggle gives life meaning" is just the evolutionary cope that your brain developed when it realized how powerless you were to stop the environment and predators from easily killing you. In a more poetic sense, It's Adam and Eve trying to justify to themsleves why getting kicked out Eden was a good thing despite 2 seconds of thinking making you realize it isn't
FYI, Jax is voiced by Michael Kovach, the voice behind Angel (Pilot), Rocky and N. He seems to have both unlimited range and a penchant for voicing potential Tumblr sexy men.
But he/it doesn't seem to know what a 'human' is, at least the true experience of what it means to be human. He seems to only understand the concept of a mind and his role as a showman/caretaker from what it seems, which is why everything happened, and I'm gonna guess are going to happen.
i have to disagree, i dont think he is the one pulling the strings, but looks how light heartedily he thrown clown boy into the horror trash can he needs them to remain human, so he keeps them sane, but i dont believe he cares for them
also a good point. After all, the perspective between a biological creature and a technological creature can be completely different, at least in common cases, like this. I have a feeling that he is going possibly to play an unintentional betrayer role, since there's been some theories over the biblical imagery in the upcoming show, like there being 13 major characters, with 6 already being abstracted (including Kaufmo ), being a fill in for the 12 disciples and Jesus Christ (with Pomni sitting in Jesu's position in Michealango's painting.)@@Sigurdur_the_bumbling_idiot
Though the line separating those two concepts is thin just like the difference of an anti-hero and an anti-villain. Or the difference between a horror dressed up as a comedy and a comedy with horror elements (even at its core). Though I guess we can agree that both are horror-comedies with varying degrees of horror and comedy.
@@ashendude3394 it has the dressings of a horror show, the dark setting, grim imagery, and various degrees of slasher moments. But it never crosses into being scary and is just funny. Digital Circus has the dressing of something more funny and innocent but the deeper you go the more horrific the setting gets.
I like that Jax and N are voiced by the same voice actor, the shire contrast between that nasty rabbit and the wholesome killer robot is so funny to me.
This is very much inspired by the book “I have no mouth and I must scream” which follows a group of the last humans on earth being stuck inside an evil ai that tortures them for eternity. Digital circus seems to be a less bleak version of that story, and hopefully, with a less bleak ending
Yeahhhh, I would rather go into the Houses of Leaves for eternity, than ever encounter AM(That's his name right). Such a spooky villian that was done right for once.
Fun Fact: The writer later worked on a sequel game to the story. It was done in the early times of computer games, so it's not the most engaging, but it does follow the characters from the book and further fleshes them out.
Actually, the writing was done by Gooseworx since it's her show. Liam Vickers wrote the scripts for Murder Drones because it was his. And yes, Jax and N share the same VA. As well as Rocky from Lackadaisy.
I think the reason Jax is being a dick to everyone is twofold One: it keeps him stimulated and staves of insanity. Two: It also keeps everyone else stimulated. So he might be doing it for a good reason - not believing that Cains "stimulation" is very good
make that three fold.... Being a Dick might also be a method of keeping some emotional distance because he's seen enough people get abstracted to not want to deal with the pain of loosing someone close to them....
He is probably the most actively caring of anyone, telling pomni how it is immediately and just ripping the band aid off, gets an adventure going for pomni, checks on caufmo knowing hes not doing well, pushes kinger and gangle down the hole to hide as soon as he heard caufmo was near. Though outside of the existential threats he doesn't care because the world is playing with kids gloves nothing that is placed here can do any actual harm to them. Also prodding ragatha and gangle is him trying to force them out of their false and forced positivity with gangles mask being a more obvious look as its a literal mask he keeps breaking. Except the escalator push, that was just mean lol.
He's like Sanse, but worse. It is stimulation...but that kind of soft-bullying may only make it worse. It didn't help Kaufmo or the others that suffered Abstraction.
I saw a whole video about that. And i believe it. An ai in a video game where people suddenly get trapped in the game instead of coming going, and not being able to do anything for them, so he tries his best to make it bearable for them.
The only thing he can do, is follow his directive. Play games, create adventures and entertain. Keeping them occupied. cause, well. he was made for a game (seems like). He is trying to keep them happy and collected.. but he is failing. But he also is learning. Because i doubt words such as "death" or "suffering" appear in a game like this. He might be growing. Also an "outside" doesnt really exist for him. That world is all there is for him, which is why is freezes, when pomni asked "how do i leave?". Does not compute.
I think they are all left over avatars from humans that used a headset for a program. and the humans disconnected. but the avtars remained without a human mind connected. which is why they have memory issues and begin to abstract if they are not kept going with stimulation Caine is just horrible at creating things. he might only be responsible for storing things and not really creating anything. Which might be wat the other side does A (able?)
Alot of people don't notice jax defending pomni With the escalator comment. Quickly cutting the thought off of zoobles judgement and directing anger to himself

Btw Caine is confirmed to be not evil. He and bubbles are AIs, so they act strange compared to human standards, but they are genuinely trying to help the cast to not lose their sanity.
It really adds to the *pointlessness* of it, too. 'Cause like, Caine's not the villain who's keeping you here; he has no control over that. He's not torturing you for his own amusement; he's just incapable of properly helping you due to the limits of his programming. In its own way it's even worse than if he was actively malicious, because you can't even blame or defy him to feel at least that little bit of satisfaction in standing up to the monster that's tormenting you.
@@UrLeingodnot to mention that he didn’t realize making an exit that wasn’t actually an exit like that could have a really horrible effect and really hammer in the pointlessness further. That probably is what broke Kaufmo, he thought he FINALLY found a way out only for his newfound hopes to be dashed. I think maybe it could end up having the opposite effect on Pomni in the long run, since it cements in her brain that escape isn’t so easy *first*
Also it’s clear he’s at least somewhat considerate in that he immediately when Zooble said they didn’t want an adventure, he gave them an opt out (even if they got dragged into it anyway)
@@thehoodedteddy1335 Going by the art he made, Kaufmo never seemed to have found it before abstracting; he drove himself mad trying to find it, never realizing it was pointless. Caine's bumbling attempts to hide his "unfinished work" drove Kaufmo over the edge, completely without malice, and in its own way that's even worse than if he'd done it deliberately and gloated about it.
The stated premise was _"Cheery, colourful, I-Have-No-Mouth-And-I-Must-Scream."_ I think it succeeded. A strong start and apart from *C&A* Abel and the "Spoiled", I've no idea how it might develop. (As you're reacting to indie animators, any chance for the Murder Drones prequel, or *Aisle 99* , Or Bigtop Burgers?)
i hope after this pilot when releases episode 2 is like a few weeks later in the show where everyone is still alive but pomni turns insane and becomes an actual jester.
Funny thing, someone did a animation with Kinger, Pomni and Jax doing a scene with Kobeni holding a knife. As I believed it’s the “Devil is a Spy” scene
@@megohuntzeh I mean he does do really great analysis it’s just that the r34 jokes got old two years ago. He used to be a lot better and was capable of making decent varied jokes but nowadays the comedy is mediocre on a good day. It’s a shame how obnoxious his comedy is nowadays because he still does do pretty great analysis vids
Just to clear things up, Cane isn't the villain, said by Gooseworks herself, he is simply an A.I. wanting to put on a grand-ol-show and have fun, trying his best to also not make the characters go insane, going to the effort to make a fake exit for them
It feels like Jax was created like someone at Glitch just thought "Hey, let's make a character that's such a jerk that Nuxanor will love him immediately"
Jax may be a jerk, but he's probably doing better than Caine at keeping the others from losing sight of themselves. Like you described, without any needs to be met or stress from basic survival, they lost one of the main things that gives life a direction - the struggle/adversity. Dude's pranks and mean-ness are just that needed bit of adversity on a personal level to keep them sane... -ish
ISTG BRO HE'D PROBABLY SAY "yo that female voice in the intro kinda sounds like someone I heard before in a rule 34..." LIKE BRO STOP TOUCHING ME THROUGH MY PHONE
Pomni's voice actress is Lizzie Freeman.. you recognize her from Murder Drones, Spooky Month if you're based, as well as quite a lot of anime if you ever watched dubs.. she also does the female voice for ENA, my beloved
To clarify, this show is the one that makes the most sense out of all of gooseworx's animations Also everyone who has watched gooseworx already knew with would turn into a horror
Cain and Bubble are AI's for the game, and he is a ringmaster so he is there to put on a show for the player, and has found himself with humans stuck INSIDE his game. No idea how to actually get them out he does his best to take care of them but, he is just a AI for entertainment so he does what he can but not really understanding what a person actually needs. And with no actual 'player' those stuck inside are the 'player characters' for his game and his antics as he does his best for them. TLDR Cain is good but has no idea how to properly care for his humans. He does his best though.
The show is pretty solid on existential crises. It's interesting how it keeps showing her the same computer, and since cane designed it in digital circus and its the same room in the real world either he, or the person who made him is in control.
11:12 Caine is literally Nux Taku Both talk the most out of moment, Random ass words, and just Laugh like a Maniacs, and Insane in his own world Edit: also both keep unnecessarily Pause at Video to talk something so simple and just straight up random or por-
I was confused about the x on the door for the chess piece guy, but if you look it's actually a dark chess piece. The one still around is white. So one has two faces in probably two personalities we just keep seeing the sad one. One apparently has super speed probably due to being a rabbit. One can survive complete disassembly of their body. One can fly and is omnipotent apart from mind control and swearing. I'm curious if they will all have certain abilities. No superhero like things but subtle ability drops that would make them behave in different manners when addressing the same problem.
I don't think they have any wacky abilities other than "silly cartoon physics and logic", Zooble is just a potatoman amalgam of wacky shapes, Jax hasn't demonstrated any super speed except as a cartoon-logic gag (and then is later shown running at a normal pace _and_ out of breath), Gangle is coping with the situation by putting on a (literal) mask and, without it, is just constantly breaking down into tears (everyone else is coping in their own ways too, Ragatha is being poisonously optimistic, Jax is antagonizing other people for fun, Kinger is dissociating to avoid really dealing with anything...) And Caine is (probably) an AI in control of (some of) the virtual world, (probably) not a human trapped in there
My Fan Theory: The characters (Except for Caine) are actually AI constructs made by scanning the minds of whoever put on the headset. The reason they can't remember their name is that nobody is always thinking about their own name all the time. Their only "REAL" memory is of putting on the headset. Since they need memories to stabililze their personalities, they need the "Adventures" to build up their own memories. If they go unstable, they turn into the shoggoth looking things.
pomni is definitely different from the rest. 1. her name. "pomni" in russian means "remember", which in itself is proof enough, but the fact that when she went through the exit doors and eventually stumbled across the computer, she seemed to remember something(?) or at least made some sort of connection there 2. in the exit rooms scene & lights. when pomni is running through the seemingly endless exit rooms, the lighting remains relatively stable. but when she sees the computer and starts to go a bit insane, the lights start going crazy, and only then can she enter the void. it might just be for cinematic effect, but idk. 3. exits. shes literally like the only one who can see the exits (besides kaufmo--possibly.) she has to be connected to the digital circus on a deeper level than the rest.
I think the exits just didn't show up in anyone else's face, Kaufmo definitely saw it and Caine's gaslighting about it (he never finished the fun Exit-Themed Adventure for them, after all) and the actual intense desire to leave, drove Kaufmo utterly insane, and he abstracted. I also think the exit rooms scene was just artistic representation of her having a mental breakdown I think Kaufmo's abstraction and Pomni's appearance are linked in some way, though
As far as I can tell, Caine has no ill intentions, he just wants to make the most of his situation just as much as everyone else. Sure, he's more powerful but he seems just as trapped as everyone else. He talks about trying to make an exit but "was having trouble figuring out what to put on the other side." The way I interpret that line is that he'd set everyone free if he could but his power only extends as far as the limits of the digital circus so the best he can do is make a fake exit to give everyone a little hope, and even then he couldn't come up with something that would satisfy them. His wackiness is just his coping mechanism in the same way that Jax's jackassishness is his coping mechanism. Jax said he's been there for years, Kinger even longer, and the abstracted people longer still, so how long has Caine been trapped here? I also don't think he's responsible for bringing people to the circus since he's surprised as Pomni's appearance. Anyway that's just what I think, and my guess is as good as anyone's.
I predict she'll be the first or second to snap. Folks who spend all their time caring for others inevitably don't leave time for themselves, which builds up a subconscious resentment they don't know how to express.
wow i've been having clussy fever for THAT long? wait no, i mean, wait what? huh, no i didn't say anything, you're imagining stuff.. what? you're crazy, get outta here..
4:55 "I cant wait for the rule 34 of this character. Not for me i just want to see how." Yea right totally not for you, and of course he goes straight for the rule 34 card.
I watched this earlier with my friends and one of them said that if we were represented by characters here, I’d be Jax. I didn’t know what he was talking abt before watching the pilot (duh) but afterwards it’s pretty spot on. Only difference is that in a world where pain is meaningless and I can’t die I probably would’ve tried to fight the amalgamation of eyeballs for fun instead of running.
I notice Jax directs attention to himself to help the others. Pomni destroyed the mask, but jax destroyed it again to put the blame on himself. He thrown the bowling ball at the king to get them to a safe place. He didn’t tell the others about cosmo unti the end. There are others but this is long enough already.
Facts. Nuxanor must be some sad porn addicted orphan. But I don't feel bad for him at all, as he shouldn't have shared something that we never asked to hear.
You talking about Pomni's realization by the end of the episode actually btought some tears to my eyes. Some say this premise is overused, but I didn't actually see it too much in my favorite shows and it's so relatable. Someone just being kidnapped from their life by a magical accident ang having to figure out what's next. The commedy and horror don't really impress me, but it is a show I'm rooting for now.
It's been confirmed that Caine isn't actually evil. He means well and is just trying to keep everyone that gets trapped in his realm from going insane but doesn't understand human psychology very well.
Honestly Caine is increadibly advanced for an A.I entity. The guy can sort of understand emotions, express emotions, and even knows how to freaking create video games with functional A.I, this is a freaking work of art
I feel sorry for poor Gangle, bullied by Jax, forgotten by Kinger, ignored by Pomni, and not considered very much by Ragatha. Their little screams and squeaks make me sad. If I were trapped in a lsd fueled digital hellscape designed like a circus I would simply be nice to the sad lil ribbon and help them make a new comedy mask... 🥺
The whole bedroom door with their face on it, stuck in a digital world they're not allowed to leave, no control over their own lives thing really gives me Danganronpa vibes.
If anyone wanting to know the gist of this plot. I think this is HEAVILY based on "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. This is a some sort of post-apocalyptic science fiction and is set in a future where an all-powerful supercomputer, AM, has exterminated all of humanity except for five individuals, whom it torments endlessly, both physically and psychologically, as a form of sadistic punishment. The story also delves into themes of human suffering, fatal flaws of each characters, insanity, paranoia, consciousness, and the limits of artificial intelligence.
Imma say it, this is already the best animation company on youtube, yes, it beats Rooster Teeth(in my opinion). This is basically if the Matrix was a weird core amalgamation of abstract concepts, which is Goose's best work. That is why this is so much crazier than Murder Drones, because of the different writers.
Nah I think I'd be happy in the Digital Circus personally. I mean being far away from the stress of real life and being able to have endless fun is great. Sure you can miss your families, but actually no you can't, because they don't seem to remember much of their lives before this. So of course it's sad, but for anyone arriving in the Amazing Digital Circus, it's a brand new live where they can be whoever they want to be, in a life of endless fun and (almost) no stress.
True, but then again doing the same thing over and over being constantly stimulated with nonsensical, wacky shenanigans would be draining. It’s a constant serotonin overload that you have no choice but to do since there is nothing ELSE to do. It’s either get a figurative sugar overload constantly or do nothing at all for the rest of eternity. Sure, it could start off nice. But every day? Forever? That’s literally insanity lmao. It would get to the point where you just end up asking what’s the point, and then go insane. Too much of *anything* is never healthy, even if it’s fun in the beginning. Plus just the fact you were stripped of your last life + identity with no recollection would be earth shattering, no matter how it was. Because at that point you wouldn’t even know what it was like and would just have that nagging feeling that you’re *forgetting*. It’s hell. Colorful hell, but hell nonetheless
The only reason theyre suffering is because they still think theyre real, of they would just accept their digital existences it would be utopia. She has no memory of her name, family, friends, hobbies, loves or hates. She has nothing but a faulty assumption holding her back from the best life she'll never live.
You know. Lizzie freemann was actually the first voice actress for meggy over on the SMG4 Channel from wich Glitch emerged, it's nice to hear her voice again the last time she voiced someone was back at the sunset paradise show
4:27 That IS N’s voice actor. 7:24 Actually, this is a different creator. Murder Drones is Liam Vickers. This is Gooseworx. 25:09 And THAT is the same voice actor as Uzi.
I like how modern animated shows start very simple and innocent only to slowly introduce the audience to the darker parts of the world after axseason or two. Meanwhile The Amazing Circus is like "Yo, shits here are F up!" not even a minute in.
This cartoon just made me realize that this is what it’s like to be sans in Undertale, when the player constantly resets and does everything over and over again.
3:02 just to answer your question dude, the voice actor who voiced pomni on TADC is the same voice actor Who voiced Ena. That gurl with a blue and yellow mask which the blue side is frowning and the yellow side is smiling or whatever-
3:10 that's Lizzie Freeman the voice of Trish Una in JoJo part 5(English dub) 4:29 that's Michael Kovach the voice of N from murder drones and Angeldust from Hazbin Hotel(pilot)
If we're being honest here, I really only care about this because there are All Star voice actors in this. Sean Chiplock, Marissa Lenti, and others that I forgot the names of are so good
Better name for the show: I've got Isekei'd into Garry's mod, but the world is controlled by a schitzoprenic experiencing a mental break while everything is on Acid
Since he's been there the longest, his avatar seems to be a little less advanced then the others. No limbs or facial features to animate, and really janky.
Funfact: pomni means remember in russian And also there used to be a buncha other guys and theyre doors are crossed out cuz they are ded Rip kingers queener

I have a feeling that he is going possibly to play an unintentional betrayer role, since there's been some theories over the biblical imagery in the upcoming show, like there being 13 major characters, with 6 already being abstracted (including Kaufmo ), being a fill in for the 12 disciples and Jesus Christ (with Pomni sitting in Jesu's position in Michealango's painting.)@@Sigurdur_the_bumbling_idiot
Murder Drones is a Comedy dressed up as Horror. Amazing Circus is Horror dressed up as a Comedy.
Though the line separating those two concepts is thin just like the difference of an anti-hero and an anti-villain.
Or the difference between a horror dressed up as a comedy and a comedy with horror elements (even at its core).
Though I guess we can agree that both are horror-comedies with varying degrees of horror and comedy.
I don't think murder drones constitutes as horror, but more of a thriller I think. Like predator vs aliens.
this is my favorite description of them yet.
@@ashendude3394 it has the dressings of a horror show, the dark setting, grim imagery, and various degrees of slasher moments. But it never crosses into being scary and is just funny. Digital Circus has the dressing of something more funny and innocent but the deeper you go the more horrific the setting gets.
So different and yet so alike. 😄
I like that Jax and N are voiced by the same voice actor, the shire contrast between that nasty rabbit and the wholesome killer robot is so funny to me.

I feel like all indie TH-cam animated shows just have an obligation to have Michael kovach in them.
From Vivziepop to Glitch and then to Lackadaisy.
It’s like a Criteria
He just manifests into the studio whenever you make an animated indie show, he's actually a cryptid
@@ythegamerita the way he's able to scream and laugh in those lackadaisy comic dubs, I don't doubt that
Checks out since he’s voice acted for gooseworx before
This is very much inspired by the book “I have no mouth and I must scream” which follows a group of the last humans on earth being stuck inside an evil ai that tortures them for eternity. Digital circus seems to be a less bleak version of that story, and hopefully, with a less bleak ending
Hmm.. that’s really interesting!
Yeahhhh, I would rather go into the Houses of Leaves for eternity, than ever encounter AM(That's his name right). Such a spooky villian that was done right for once.
At least the video game of IHNMAIMS let you get a hopeful ending, so there's a chance this one will too.
I thought the ending had some good in it, though for Ted and AM, not so much.
Fun Fact: The writer later worked on a sequel game to the story. It was done in the early times of computer games, so it's not the most engaging, but it does follow the characters from the book and further fleshes them out.
“Anything is possible in here, except anything that would get us demonetized.” Such a perfect sentence.
Actually, the writing was done by Gooseworx since it's her show. Liam Vickers wrote the scripts for Murder Drones because it was his.
And yes, Jax and N share the same VA. As well as Rocky from Lackadaisy.
I shown that triangle head character and I was like this had to be Gooseworx
Bubble is also voiced by Gooseworx
also kinger mentioning a game show is a massive gooseworx animatoon reference where game shows are always inside of people
@@larsthememelord3383
Was it “little runmo” ?
@@VinVin_31 yes and elain the bounty hunter also has that
I think the reason Jax is being a dick to everyone is twofold
One: it keeps him stimulated and staves of insanity.
Two: It also keeps everyone else stimulated. So he might be doing it for a good reason - not believing that Cains "stimulation" is very good
Jax might be an Admin account given he has 'keys to everywhere'
make that three fold.... Being a Dick might also be a method of keeping some emotional distance because he's seen enough people get abstracted to not want to deal with the pain of loosing someone close to them....
Jax might be a former developer of the circus (but that's just my headcanon)
He is probably the most actively caring of anyone, telling pomni how it is immediately and just ripping the band aid off, gets an adventure going for pomni, checks on caufmo knowing hes not doing well, pushes kinger and gangle down the hole to hide as soon as he heard caufmo was near. Though outside of the existential threats he doesn't care because the world is playing with kids gloves nothing that is placed here can do any actual harm to them. Also prodding ragatha and gangle is him trying to force them out of their false and forced positivity with gangles mask being a more obvious look as its a literal mask he keeps breaking. Except the escalator push, that was just mean lol.
He's like Sanse, but worse. It is stimulation...but that kind of soft-bullying may only make it worse. It didn't help Kaufmo or the others that suffered Abstraction.
Caine is genuinely trying to help them but he really doesn't know how to get out and there's nothing he can do if their minds break
I saw a whole video about that.
And i believe it.
An ai in a video game where people suddenly get trapped in the game instead of coming going, and not being able to do anything for them, so he tries his best to make it bearable for them.
@@3bodYking99cain is the forever DM trying in DnD group no one wanted to join, but are stuck in.
The only thing he can do, is follow his directive.
Play games, create adventures and entertain. Keeping them occupied. cause, well. he was made for a game (seems like).
He is trying to keep them happy and collected.. but he is failing. But he also is learning. Because i doubt words such as "death" or "suffering" appear in a game like this. He might be growing.
Also an "outside" doesnt really exist for him. That world is all there is for him, which is why is freezes, when pomni asked "how do i leave?". Does not compute.
I think they are all left over avatars from humans that used a headset for a program.
and the humans disconnected.
but the avtars remained without a human mind connected.
which is why they have memory issues and begin to abstract if they are not kept going with stimulation
Caine is just horrible at creating things. he might only be responsible for storing things and not really creating anything. Which might be wat the other side does A (able?)
eh, imo hes probably the first human to get trapped nd now doesnt want the only company that is human to leave

It kinda uh
cute???
How caine tried to create a "exit" even tho he doesnt understand what everyone else mean
It really adds to the *pointlessness* of it, too. 'Cause like, Caine's not the villain who's keeping you here; he has no control over that. He's not torturing you for his own amusement; he's just incapable of properly helping you due to the limits of his programming. In its own way it's even worse than if he was actively malicious, because you can't even blame or defy him to feel at least that little bit of satisfaction in standing up to the monster that's tormenting you.
@@UrLeingodnot to mention that he didn’t realize making an exit that wasn’t actually an exit like that could have a really horrible effect and really hammer in the pointlessness further. That probably is what broke Kaufmo, he thought he FINALLY found a way out only for his newfound hopes to be dashed. I think maybe it could end up having the opposite effect on Pomni in the long run, since it cements in her brain that escape isn’t so easy *first*
Also it’s clear he’s at least somewhat considerate in that he immediately when Zooble said they didn’t want an adventure, he gave them an opt out (even if they got dragged into it anyway)
@@thehoodedteddy1335 Going by the art he made, Kaufmo never seemed to have found it before abstracting; he drove himself mad trying to find it, never realizing it was pointless. Caine's bumbling attempts to hide his "unfinished work" drove Kaufmo over the edge, completely without malice, and in its own way that's even worse than if he'd done it deliberately and gloated about it.
The stated premise was _"Cheery, colourful, I-Have-No-Mouth-And-I-Must-Scream."_
I think it succeeded.
A strong start and apart from *C&A* Abel and the "Spoiled", I've no idea how it might develop.

Just to clear things up, Cane isn't the villain, said by Gooseworks herself, he is simply an A.I. wanting to put on a grand-ol-show and have fun, trying his best to also not make the characters go insane, going to the effort to make a fake exit for them
All I know is that Caine isn’t evil he just doesn’t understand humans

Cause it just came out and is a reaction goldmine?
Jax may be a jerk, but he's probably doing better than Caine at keeping the others from losing sight of themselves. Like you described, without any needs to be met or stress from basic survival, they lost one of the main things that gives life a direction - the struggle/adversity. Dude's pranks and mean-ness are just that needed bit of adversity on a personal level to keep them sane... -ish

Still disappointed we didn’t get to see Zooble participate in a quiz show after being swallowed 😔
Cain and Bubble are AI's for the game, and he is a ringmaster so he is there to put on a show for the player, and has found himself with humans stuck INSIDE his game. No idea how to actually get them out he does his best to take care of them but, he is just a AI for entertainment so he does what he can but not really understanding what a person actually needs. And with no actual 'player' those stuck inside are the 'player characters' for his game and his antics as he does his best for them. TLDR Cain is good but has no idea how to properly care for his humans. He does his best though.
The show is pretty solid on existential crises. It's interesting how it keeps showing her the same computer, and since cane designed it in digital circus and its the same room in the real world either he, or the person who made him is in control.
It's kinda ironic that the newbie can't remember her name and they gave her name "Pomni" (which can be translated as "Remember" in Russian)
i love the team purposely glitched the characters and clippings making it like an actual computer systems. well done.

One apparently has super speed probably due to being a rabbit.
One can survive complete disassembly of their body.
One can fly and is omnipotent apart from mind control and swearing.
I'm curious if they will all have certain abilities. No superhero like things but subtle ability drops that would make them behave in different manners when addressing the same problem.
maybe that's also why Kinger (was that his name?) was more insane than the others
Cain isn't a human like the rest of them.
not confirmed, but he is probably an AI that is in control of the game world.
@@3bodYking99pretty sure it is confirmed that he's an ai and he's genuinely good and trying to help but just doesn't know how exactly
@@BassBanj0 did they confirm on twitter? I am not sure i heard it in the show, but i DID pick it up.
I don't think they have any wacky abilities other than "silly cartoon physics and logic", Zooble is just a potatoman amalgam of wacky shapes, Jax hasn't demonstrated any super speed except as a cartoon-logic gag (and then is later shown running at a normal pace _and_ out of breath), Gangle is coping with the situation by putting on a (literal) mask and, without it, is just constantly breaking down into tears (everyone else is coping in their own ways too, Ragatha is being poisonously optimistic, Jax is antagonizing other people for fun, Kinger is dissociating to avoid really dealing with anything...)
And Caine is (probably) an AI in control of (some of) the virtual world, (probably) not a human trapped in there
My Fan Theory: The characters (Except for Caine) are actually AI constructs made by scanning the minds of whoever put on the headset. The reason they can't remember their name is that nobody is always thinking about their own name all the time. Their only "REAL" memory is of putting on the headset. Since they need memories to stabililze their personalities, they need the "Adventures" to build up their own memories. If they go unstable, they turn into the shoggoth looking things.
Reminds me of SOMA with the mind scan horror.
pomni is definitely different from the rest.
1. her name.
"pomni" in russian means "remember", which in itself is proof enough, but the fact that when she went through the exit doors and eventually stumbled across the computer, she seemed to remember something(?) or at least made some sort of connection there
2. in the exit rooms scene & lights.
when pomni is running through the seemingly endless exit rooms, the lighting remains relatively stable. but when she sees the computer and starts to go a bit insane, the lights start going crazy, and only then can she enter the void. it might just be for cinematic effect, but idk.
3. exits.
shes literally like the only one who can see the exits (besides kaufmo--possibly.) she has to be connected to the digital circus on a deeper level than the rest.
I think the exits just didn't show up in anyone else's face, Kaufmo definitely saw it and Caine's gaslighting about it (he never finished the fun Exit-Themed Adventure for them, after all) and the actual intense desire to leave, drove Kaufmo utterly insane, and he abstracted.
I also think the exit rooms scene was just artistic representation of her having a mental breakdown
I think Kaufmo's abstraction and Pomni's appearance are linked in some way, though
@@ferociousfeind8538 yeah definitely, i mean it just had to happen on the day that pomni arrived
I feel like that computer is how they got here
As far as I can tell, Caine has no ill intentions, he just wants to make the most of his situation just as much as everyone else. Sure, he's more powerful but he seems just as trapped as everyone else. He talks about trying to make an exit but "was having trouble figuring out what to put on the other side." The way I interpret that line is that he'd set everyone free if he could but his power only extends as far as the limits of the digital circus so the best he can do is make a fake exit to give everyone a little hope, and even then he couldn't come up with something that would satisfy them.
His wackiness is just his coping mechanism in the same way that Jax's jackassishness is his coping mechanism. Jax said he's been there for years, Kinger even longer, and the abstracted people longer still, so how long has Caine been trapped here? I also don't think he's responsible for bringing people to the circus since he's surprised as Pomni's appearance.
Anyway that's just what I think, and my guess is as good as anyone's.
"Welcome"
"OMG HAHA HE SAID C*M"
What the hell is just wrong with humanity.
We were a mistake
Ragatha is literally the sweetest character ever. she better live throughout this damn series bc shes my spirit guide

I watched this earlier with my friends and one of them said that if we were represented by characters here, I’d be Jax.

Only difference is that in a world where pain is meaningless and I can’t die I probably would’ve tried to fight the amalgamation of eyeballs for fun instead of running.
Michael knows how to voice any type of character
I notice Jax directs attention to himself to help the others. Pomni destroyed the mask, but jax destroyed it again to put the blame on himself. He thrown the bowling ball at the king to get them to a safe place. He didn’t tell the others about cosmo unti the end. There are others but this is long enough already.
saying you recognize a r34 va after hearing her voice for 5 secs is actually insane
Facts. Nuxanor must be some sad porn addicted orphan. But I don't feel bad for him at all, as he shouldn't have shared something that we never asked to hear.
why is your first instinct when someone breathes to reference rule 34.
Micheal Kovach voices all my favorite characters, he gets the most lovable ones! Coincidence? I think NOT!!!
You talking about Pomni's realization by the end of the episode actually btought some tears to my eyes. Some say this premise is overused, but I didn't actually see it too much in my favorite shows and it's so relatable. Someone just being kidnapped from their life by a magical accident ang having to figure out what's next. The commedy and horror don't really impress me, but it is a show I'm rooting for now.
Jax is Nux and Nux is Jax. When I watched the pilot on the release day I INSTINTLY thought of Nux when I heard Jax's voice and saw how he acted.

The whole bedroom door with their face on it, stuck in a digital world they're not allowed to leave, no control over their own lives thing really gives me Danganronpa vibes.
If anyone wanting to know the gist of this plot. I think this is HEAVILY based on "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. This is a some sort of post-apocalyptic science fiction and is set in a future where an all-powerful supercomputer, AM, has exterminated all of humanity except for five individuals, whom it torments endlessly, both physically and psychologically, as a form of sadistic punishment. The story also delves into themes of human suffering, fatal flaws of each characters, insanity, paranoia, consciousness, and the limits of artificial intelligence.

That is why this is so much crazier than Murder Drones, because of the different writers.

Nah I think I'd be happy in the Digital Circus personally. I mean being far away from the stress of real life and being able to have endless fun is great.
Sure you can miss your families, but actually no you can't, because they don't seem to remember much of their lives before this.
So of course it's sad, but for anyone arriving in the Amazing Digital Circus, it's a brand new live where they can be whoever they want to be, in a life of endless fun and (almost) no stress.
True, but then again doing the same thing over and over being constantly stimulated with nonsensical, wacky shenanigans would be draining. It’s a constant serotonin overload that you have no choice but to do since there is nothing ELSE to do.
It’s either get a figurative sugar overload constantly or do nothing at all for the rest of eternity. Sure, it could start off nice. But every day? Forever? That’s literally insanity lmao. It would get to the point where you just end up asking what’s the point, and then go insane. Too much of *anything* is never healthy, even if it’s fun in the beginning.
Plus just the fact you were stripped of your last life + identity with no recollection would be earth shattering, no matter how it was. Because at that point you wouldn’t even know what it was like and would just have that nagging feeling that you’re *forgetting*. It’s hell. Colorful hell, but hell nonetheless

You know in the german version Jax said to the gloink queen 25:01 "well did I give you the permission to give me eye cancer" best line ever 😂
from one masterpiece to another (potential) masterpiece
3:02 just to answer your question dude, the voice actor who voiced pomni on TADC is the same voice actor Who voiced Ena. That gurl with a blue and yellow mask which the blue side is frowning and the yellow side is smiling or whatever-
3:10
that's Lizzie Freeman the voice of Trish Una in JoJo part 5(English dub)
4:29
that's Michael Kovach the voice of N from murder drones and Angeldust from Hazbin Hotel(pilot)
If we're being honest here, I really only care about this because there are All Star voice actors in this. Sean Chiplock, Marissa Lenti, and others that I forgot the names of are so good
I've said this before but I really hope this show gets a full season it definitely deserves it based off of this one pilot episode
It's going to have 8 episodes
Better name for the show: I've got Isekei'd into Garry's mod, but the world is controlled by a schitzoprenic experiencing a mental break while everything is on Acid
the circus states its for all ages and bro just doesn’t shut UP ABOUT PORN
FACTS
JUST SAY PORN OH MY GOD
The ring master is an ai, so it doesn’t understand humans very well…
I love the fact that "hoo ha" can keep his hands moving normally but when he holds on to something thats moving, his hands just glitch away💀💀💀
Since he's been there the longest, his avatar seems to be a little less advanced then the others. No limbs or facial features to animate, and really janky.
Nux try not to show his p*rn addiction when an original character appears challenge: impossible
Funfact: pomni means remember in russian
And also there used to be a buncha other guys and theyre doors are crossed out cuz they are ded
Rip kingers queener
16:43 explaining the kinger confusion, the door was of a black queen, not a white king
3:00 Nux not every women you hear in animated show is a NSFW voice actress it is just a Women.
3:05 i can't with this guy
