    I like how this is a "nice" representation of depression. How she's constantly under the pressure to live up to the mask she's putting on. How that over time becomes less and less bearable. And most of all, how free and relieved she is once she is able to take off the mask. Even if that means letting everything that drags you down come to the surface, ultimately that is less of a burden than to constantly act happy. Even more, it somehow puts Jax's actions in a bit of a new light, never letting her carry that happy face and making sure she doesn't hide all those feelings underneath.

      The new mask design itself already showcased a split emotion with the mix of a white and black eye and forced smile, which is probably why she got put in this role with that mask as the role meant to force a smile constantly.

    What I think is a really nice detail is Gangle struggling to throw in the beginning of the episode, but at the part where she throws her mask, she does it perfectly. I think it's just a really nice touch.

    22:32 something ive begun to notice on repeated watch throughs of this episode is when jax is more or less confined to not being an ass he seems to be genuinely talkative and normal he legitimately came to pomni for casual conversation because he had nothing else to do and everyone was miserable but pomni before she started spilling her guts about how shes been feeling immediately clams up because its jax and you can even see when he pulls himself up he seems to realize "I should've seen that coming" I think given hes never been in a circumstance with the others thats been so mundane and restrictive that he cant entertain himself with his tomfoolery that hes only now slightly realizing he doesn't really have anyone to confide in when he needs it and thus he just defaults back to normal slightly before saying he'll talk to Pomni later which makes me think that if he decided to not be an ass he'd probably be pretty likeable or at the very least a good listener because when he said hed talk to pomni later it sounded oddly sincere i dunno maybe its just me but we always have these brief human moments from jax whenever he's confronted with situations he just cant find a way to make fun of like at Coffmos funeral

  • @Abalytical
    @Abalytical หลายเดือนก่อน +141

    As a heavy Jax fan, I do just kinda wanna point out a few things I noticed with Jax's behaviour this episode. WARNING: Huuuugeee yap
    Jax so far in episode 1, 2 and 3 has been portrayed as a bit of a sadist, he's chaotic, problematic, often times condescending or teasing, and he's very cruel in not only his actions but his words. We see this same behaviour from Jax more specifically at the beginning of the episode when they're still in the circus, with Jax making sarcastic comments about Zooble handing out a mask to Gangle and Jax also being prideful in his suggestion to turn Zooble into a piñata and beat her up.
    However, we see a slight break in his behaviour when it's selected that they are to do a mundane adventure. (5:21) As we've seen from previous episodes, we know that Jax loves chaotic and violent adventures and tends to get frustrated when adventures don't turn out that way, so his reaction is understandable.
    Next, as soon as they get there, Jax decides to stir trouble and cause chaos by throwing Ragatha into the deep fryer to try and make things interesting and to also test Gangle's authority, since we already know that Jax looks down on Gangle and doesn't take her seriously since he's so used to her being 'submissive and agreeable', so he's shocked when she actually takes action and enforces there to be a punishment for employee's that are misbehaving. (7:44 - 8:58)
    Then throughout the next quarter of the episode we see Jax slacking off and not take Gangle's threat seriously, or at least he appears to be (11:27), however I have a strong feeling this isn't actually the case and Jax is just putting up a tough act because of how Jax reacted to Gangle organising a punishment. I think deep down he's a least a little worried about what Caine might enforce, because he's now just slacking off and being bored, he's no longer attempting to bring chaos and destruction, and he doesn't directly challenge Gangle's authority again, he only more so argues like a bored 17 year old working at McDonalds. Whilst this isn't a huge stray from his normal demeanour, it's still something a little different.
    (16:57) Gangle instructs Jax to clean out the bathrooms and he argues that he doesn't want to, although he doesn't do it with the same passion and provoking attitude he had earlier, here he's a lot more bored and over it. That's when Gangle begins to tweak out and says Jax needs more 'training', and he gets dragged off to some weird training room and is forced to watch Gangle's employee training video, and he doesn't take it seriously UNTIL he's forced to sit down and is the grabbed and forcefully held towards the TV, which is when he asks "Wait, wait, uhm, nobody can see this, right?" (18:52). In a situation that's just become both scary and possibly dangerous, where Jax is clearly distressed, his first thing to say wasn't a plead for mercy, or a question on what was happening, it was on whether or not others could see him. Jax is more concerned about what others think of him than his own safety. He doesn't want to be seen as vulnerable. Then Gangle does that brainwash looking thing and whilst we don't get a full understanding of what it's doing to Jax, we can safely assume it's something unpleasant based on Jax's reaction and how he behaves after this. (18:59)
    Next time we see Jax after this is when the hand pushes him back to his station. He doesn't resist, or look annoyed. He's blankly staring and looks traumatised, like he's struggling to process wtf just happened (21:03). He even allows the hand to pet his head and even after it does, his ears stay down, giving us the impression he's feeling emotionally shaken. He then walks back, still wide-eyed and silent, until he looks at the clock again and snaps out of it, his frustration with the time getting the better of him and he snaps at Gangle about the broken clock. This time, he isn't getting frustrated with Gangle because he's denying her authority, he's actually acknowledging her authority now because he tells HER about the clock, since she's the manager and in a higher position than him.
    After this, Jax is so much more laid back, and almost a bit mellowed out. He's still bored and moody, but he's so much more over it to a point where there's no bite in his tone, he's not mocking anybody like he did with Zooble, he's just trying to get on with the day. He looks drained, he doesn't even bother trying to make some kind of witty or mocking comeback to Ragatha saying she hates him, he just says she's drunk or something when she asks if her feelings are weird. (21:49)
    Then he tries to make light conversation with Pomni, asking how she's doing. Jax has NEVER done this before. Not in any other episode. He's not a person for small talk, let alone small talk to ask how the OTHER person is doing. Pomni is rightfully suspicious because of Jax's sudden change in behaviour, she doesn't trust him not to turn this into something cruel. But, he doesn't, and it's clear to see he's so tired he doesn't have any intentions of doing that. He just complains that he's not feeling great. (22:31-22:42). Then Gangle calls out for him and tells him to go wash dishes. Jax earlier in the episode would've protested against this, like he did when she told him to clean the bathroom. But he doesn't. He looks annoyed, yes, but he just calls back "I'm on it", no backhanded comments, no arguing, no sarcasm, no nothing. Because he's just accepted that Gangle now has authority over him and he doesn't have the right to argue. (22:42). Then he says 'later Pomni' and leaves to go do what was asked of him. That's such a wild change in behaviour from him. He says goodbye to Pomni like a normal person. Very casual, and no malicious intent behind it. He doesn't call her 'new stuff' or any other kind of nickname, he just calls her Pomni and then leaves.
    Then he finally gets to clock out and a little bit of the Jax we know shines through as he says how much he disliked the experience and leaves (24:19). Like he's putting back on a mask now that he has some hope because he gets to leave. This whole episode revolves around masking, that's it's theme. Gangle masking her depression using the literal masks, Ragtha's people pleasing mask crumbling when she gets hit with the stupid sauce and she reveals how she really feels about things, and here, Jax's mask. Jax hates the feeling of being vulnerable, he'll do anything to avoid being perceived that way. He complains, never vents, there's a difference. Jax has a persona he plays, a mask. He pretends to be this sadistic, cruel person who enjoys harm and chaos, and I'm sure some of that is probably true to his real personality, but certainly not all of it. It's a facade to avoid vulnerability and sympathy from others. If people hate him, they won't sympathise for him.
    But then he steps out of the restaurant. The second he's alone, he stops smiling. The mask drops (24:36). He goes to his car and rests his head on the wheel and groans. He's not a happy person, in the sense that he's not even angry or complaining on the inside, he's just tired and over everything.
    This was my incredibly long Jax rant, if you read all of this, you have my sincere gratitude, this took a long time to write. I love Jax, he's my favourite character and he's genuinely well written. Mega kin with him.

    Gangles character was so in the forefront this episode I feel like people are noticing just how much insight we got into Jax. When pushed into a situation where his actions would have actual consequences he reverts into what I imagine to be his pre-circus self. For everyone else the circus is a prison their trapped in but this shows how much Jax HATES mundane life, for him real life is the prison and the circus is the escape.

    I think this episode was about depression as we can see Gangle used to be a shift manager before she entered the circus I think the mask is a symbolism of hiding her true self. at the beginning the "happy" mask was smiling but at the end it turned sad also I think pomni saved Gangle because I'm pretty sure she was going to be extract at that moment if pomni didn't closest restaurant I'm pretty sure Gangle would've lost it she would've become a monster 😭(sorry if this is confusing school was not the best for me 😂)

She seems to have mood swings even if mostly negative, nearly dissociates due to all the stress and mean things jax and ragatha told her and in general she seems to isolate

  • @christinehurley2487

    I wonder if Gangle has something like manic depressive disorder, the comment that her happy mask is usually broken by now (the manic episode usually ends sooner than this), being hurt by various comments about people preferring when she's "sad" because the happy mask is "annoying" not being about to self regulate properly seems to already frustrate her so of course these remarks would hurt, and then the huge crash after the manic episode finally ends where she's convinced no one likes her anymore because of how she acted and having to be reassured that "this might not have worked, but we can find something that does" in reference to medication or some other treatment ideas
    I mean, she called herself manic too, although I'm not sure if that's confirmed or a joke in this context, but i wonder, if Gangle has more depressive episodes, is she in danger of abstracting?

    Was I the only one who took Gangle running out into traffic as an unaliving attempt. The smile and last moments after the shift was her being relieved. It also makes me think her tragedy face is her only real face because it never breaks only her comedy one dose and all the other masks just cover it up. It also makes me give Jax a more generous read of wanting her to be upfront about it. Jax getting off shift and his license plate says Jax 001 makes me think he was the first one in this simulation and he has watched and grown attached to numerous groups of people who didn’t make it, before the current group. so he has just given up getting close to people. So ensures everyone hates him to avoid it. Just a theory.

    depending on how you look at it, Gangle's thing with the mask could be seen either as an allegory for depression medication or autism masking
    -from a medication perspective, Zooble giving her the mask is akin to a new prescription, to see if it helps with the issue
    -from a masking perspective, well, it's a literal mask, but with autism you're essentially acting (read: "pretending to be") normal to fit in (a comment on the original video put it in better words than I)
    on a tangentially related note, I bet they had fun animating Gangle's face this time around

      ASD fella here. While masking is pretty heavily associated with autism (and yes, it's a helpful tool), it's not limited to folks on the spectrum - pretty much everybody has _some_ kind of mask they use to get through the day, whether that be hiding depression behind a detached attitude or concealing anxiety by adopting a manic hyperactivity or any of a million other façades that might be necessary. Even just slapping on a smile while working the register, regardless of whether you feel happy enough to smile, is a form of masking.
      _'Acting_ normal' is a farce, because there's no such _thing_ as 'normal' - but because everyone's still _expected_ to be even though nobody _is,_ they all hide whatever aspects of themselves don't fit whatever _they_ think qualifies as 'normal' in a given circumstance.

  • @Nitrinoxus
    @Nitrinoxus หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    My 50-hour work schedule this week ate up too much of my mental energy for me to properly digest this episode (ironically), but hey, that's what days off are for! Time to give this the attention it deserves!
    - Having actually _been_ beaned by a batted-back baseball (alliteration!), I _believe_ Jax when he said he didn't mean to hit Gangle with it. That's pretty firmly in the "I didn't _mean_ to do that, but you _gotta admit_ it was _funny!"_ area of slapstick humor, even when it happens IRL.
    - It's been pretty easy to tell that, in the cast of assorted neuroses that is the _TADC_ crew, Gangle was intended as a literal example of _masking_ -- hiding problems or emotions behind various facades to try to get through your day. Depression is another possibility, but it didn't quite feel like a cut-and-dry parallel to the highs and lows of, say, bipolar mood disorder -- but if so, one could interpret Zooble's new mask as a new aid in managing those emotions, like a new medication. (Personally, I view it as just what it is: a new mask, something to refresh the masking techniques when they stop working as well as they should -- I've had to find those new facades every couple of years, no clinical depression required!)
    - It's really sweet and, honestly, not too surprising that Zooble is able to connect with Gangle more easily than the others do. They don't really bother pretending to be anything but themselves, so you can trust them to be _honest_ with you -- for someone juggling a bunch of masking behaviors, that kind of sincerity is _massively_ helpful.
    - Pretty sure Caine would forget his head if it wasn't... well, OK, it's _not_ attached to his shoulders, really, but he at least keeps track of it!
    - Considering I just spent most of the last week struggling to find the energy to make it back to base after my shifts, I can relate to Zooble's refusal to join in on this adventure. Pity I need the money right now...
    - Another episode, another example of a cast member dropping a backstory nugget on us. Gangle being a shift manager _does_ explain her anxious demeanor -- nice people don't last long in management positions, from what I've seen and heard. Even just the _idea_ of Jax causing his usual brand of havoc seemed like it briefly triggered a panic response, which would explain the sudden shift to Manic Mode ('Manic masks Panic' is a line I've heard from shrinks before).
    - Not sure what kind of audio encryption they ran over Orbsman's lines, but I'd lay even money someone's already decrypted it. This ain't one of Liam Vickers' projects, but that's no reason to not hide things in plain sight!
    - I'm already tensing up watching Gangle try to manage her unruly team. Kinda glad I left this analysis until my day off now.
    - ...I would question the trip-inducing sauce, but apparently Coca-Cola used to share ingredients with _cocaine,_ so...
    - Zooble's seen Caine coming unglued, so their nervous desire to avoid provoking him makes sense. Caine's still mostly an unknown quantity at this point: we don't know what kinds of limitations he's bound by or what rules and directives govern his behavior, but he's _clearly_ unstable in every sense of the word.
    - Ragatha _did_ say that Caine liked to reuse NPCs, so it wasn't too surprising to see Gummigoo pop up. Whether or not he _remembers_ anything is up for debate, though.
    - Tense scenarios are an outstanding way to bring out sides to characters that wouldn't otherwise be seen. Gangle's getting increasingly obsessive in her management style, as if imposing _order_ will somehow _prevent_ chaos in her day _(trust me, it never does...),_ Ragatha's stopped bothering to keep up her Super-Carer facade in favor of a blunt honesty she'd usually apologize for, and even Jax is putting his usual trouble-making on hold and interacting with the others in a much more casual way than he'd normally do while eyeing the clock.
    - I know he made it sound like he didn't remember Pomni, and it'd make sense if the specific details were scrubbed when he was despawned -- but the sad look in his eyes and the gentle smile on his face as he bade her goodbye makes me think Gummigoo at least _partially_ remembered the previous adventure, even if only like a dream.
    - ...Gangle, you're breaking my heart here. Stop with the toxic projection and go hug the Emotional Support Clown.
    - I picked up the _Raggedy Anne & Andy_ reference in Ragatha's delirious rambling. Guess Gooseworx is a fan of Richard Williams' visual trips.
    - Even with her Happy Mask on, Gangle is letting her depressive behaviors slip through the longer this goes on -- the flat affect, slouched posture and negative self-talk are traits we don't even normally see when she's in Tragedy Mask mode, which makes me think we've been seeing a version of the _real_ Gangle this whole time.
    - Jax has officially reached the 'too exhausted to mask' stage of emotional exhaustion. It hasn't been hard to see that his devil-may-care attitude and abrasive behavior were just masking behaviors intended to protect himself from the pain of losing anyone he's close to -- but after everything that's happened during his shift, he doesn't have the energy to keep up the act anymore.
    - ...oh god... Gangle is suddenly the most *_painfully_*_ relatable character here._ Like I said before, her Comedy/Tragedy dichotomy is a metaphor for masking, and hearing her talk about how her Comedy Mask is "usually broken by now" hit me right in the stomach -- _because the masks _*_don't control her emotions._* When the Comedy Mask breaks, it lets Gangle _stop_ masking as much, and gives her an _excuse_ to release some of her depression and anxiety without being called out on it; without an outlet for those emotions, whether _healthy_ or _not,_ her maladaptive coping strategy is _tearing her apart,_ but she doesn't know any other way to get by... and maybe she never _did._ By the end, it didn't even _matter_ what mask she was wearing: the pain was too great to hide anymore. (...oh, Gangle...)
    - Pomni might just be the best thing to happen to this screwed-up world in a long time.
    - ...Alright, mental/emotional health PSA, folks: *_it's OK to not be OK._* This false dichotomy between Happy and Sad is _extremely_ toxic -- you can feel _both_ at once and be in a better place than you would be if you forced yourself to bottle up whichever one you didn't _like._ That scene of Gangle in the parking lot is probably the healthiest she's been in _ages,_ even _with_ the isekai inciting incident.
    - ...Okay, once I find those damn Onion Ninjas, I'm getting in line to hug Gangle. There's a line for that by now, right?

    I don't think that's Gangle's dream.
    At 18:15, Gangle's rant may have revealed her dreams and frustrations, and how she could do nothing.
    At the end of the episode, you can see Gangle and her notepad. She is doing what she always wanted to do. I relate with her and her dream.
    Zooble saying, "I like seeing you draw" is something I also want to hear people say.

    I used to have a theory about Jax's attitude and each episode only makes it more clear at least for me
    What I mean is that the "funny guy" attitude is all an act so he doesn't seem bothered about the fact that he's also locked in this place in front of the others but once he's alone he is tired as everyone else.
    I noticed a few moments like this in others caps for example in the 2nd one when they were talking about Cosmos funeral he seems to stop acting for a bit and just leaves so no one sees him bothered.
    And in this one I think this scene makes clear what I mean

    I have a running theory that each episode (excluding episode 1) represents what a character did in their life before being damned to the circus. This is based on which character is most prominent in the episode.
    Episode 2- Jax: Jax was a criminal and during his life, he stole food and other supplies to help feed the people of his village and his sick mother, whom he was very close with.
    Episode 3 Kinger- Kinger was an anxious man driven to Insanity by his paranoia. Mistaking his wife for a monster, he shot and killed her, earning him damnation.
    Episode 4- Gangle: Gangle wax a young woman who had dreams of launching a Manga inspired webcomic, she was quite skilled at art. But she gave up on her dreams and became the manager of some fast food joint. Her reason for punishment is unknown.

    Zooble has 2 proper knees this time! Episode 2 she could barely walk on a peg leg, then episode 3 she had 1 knee and one noodle leg which seemed a bit better. Interesting snooping at how her body is different each episode. Seems like she got worse off episode 2 then the pilot, otherwise she is improving a little bit towards something more normal each episode. One more elbow and she'll be mostly humanoid ish, as much as a stick together abstract shape thing can be humanoid anyway.
