I was not fond of the pilot. I am not one of those mega-haters, I just found it very unoriginal, and it brought nothing new to the 'existential dread' genre. But I am still willing to keep and open mind and see where it goes.
No yeah, I totally get what you mean. To be sure I'm not super familiar with this specific genre, though I'd like to find more. This is just something that got so popular that it grabbed my attention in the middle of everything, haha. Hopefully the full series will mature into something unique.
The pilot really felt like a sitcom to me. You have the main character that has their little plot line and then you have another group of characters that goes off and gets into some wAcKY situations. It felt really stale to me so i hope that they don't take it in that direction. I'd love to see more and see a bunch of these questions answered
You've seriously summed up exactly how I feel! While I'm a bit tired of the trappings of the kind of "kids horror" that clearly acts as an inspiration of the show, I feel that it uses those elements well and has enough going for it outside of that. It's very much not my usual kind of thing, outside it being indie animation, and I'm not really one to interact with Fandom anymore, but I'm genuinely really looking forward to seeing more!
Hot take. I don't see what's so appealing about the video. It doesn't help that I went into it expecting to be blown away based on the sheer number of views, but nothing stood out. I had no idea what was going on most of the time (not in a good way) and many of the characters just grated on my patience (perhaps intentional?) An image I couldn't get out of my head was seeing the top hat host from Mario Party 8 every time Caine was present. I have enjoyed a number of your videos, so have a sub.
I also feel like Caine isn’t evil as well. Even when he does the “hundreds of all seeing eyes on you” it zooms out and it’s played off as a joke. I don’t know this is true at all but some people are saying the inspiration was “I have no mouth and I must scream” which does feel a bit similar. I do really like that story. This kind of feels like it’s a more toned down version of that. With an ai who isn’t consciously trying to hurt the humans forever.
02:30 Who is DM in the subtitles? And why does he says that you're obsessed with Michael Kovach? By the way, why are you obsessed with Michael Kovach? Is it because he's such a good voice actor? Or is it because you have a crush on him? Just asking out of intrigue.
MatPat was a TH-camr that focused on a Theory channel. He specialized on seeing small things and speculating a lot from them. Like having a tag that says A.L and connecting a normal character to an Alien. Search for Game Theory, and go a year back.
I kinda hate seeing all of these shows that are produced by glitch productions become so big while their solo project meta runner is still not that popular. Meta runner is by far their best show.

Digital Circus is such a surprising hit that I was not expecting to think was amazing. All my friends say I am Kinger and I go along with it.

05:25 What does DM mean when he wrote: "Channeling MatPat now?"? I don't understand. I would like to understand that, please.

Have you watched The Rhino and The Redbill animated short?
