    If I had to put in my two cents, I’d say TADC suffers from what I call “Pibby Syndrome”. When a piece of media that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, looks like it’s for kids but, in reality, isn’t, inevitably ends up attracting a fanbase mainly comprised of children.
    I especially feel bad for TADC just because of how quickly the content farm channels got to and consumed it. People have just assumed it’s Gen Alpha brain rot and it’s so much more than that.
    Just thinking out loud, but I also thought about what the opposite of this phenomenon would be and I figured it would be “MLP Syndrome” or, for a more recent example, “Bluey Syndrome”. The case where a piece of media that contains mature themes but is fundamentally designed as a children’s show, ends up attracting a sizeably large teen and adult fanbase.

      The same thing sort of happened to FNAF and Poppy's Playhouse fanbases; people knew that it was initially supposed to be a horror exclusive thing, but it turned into a fanbase that became divided on the themes and meanings of the games through rampant content farming on both sides.

    I've been a big fan of gooseworx for a while and although i didn't really like the aesthetic of TADC at first compared to the other stuff, the show quickly grew on me despite that. To me, it's just a festival of weirdness, weird humor, weird lore, weird characters, and that's why i love it.

    TADC might not be horror, but when it reaches into the dark elements, like Gummigoo being killed off... That's extreme existential horror for me, and I love it.
    Also Jax being an asshole is hilarious to me in the same way you've got videos of TH-camrs playing games together, and there's the one guy trying to get other people killed in the game (Like Phisnom and his friends with Lethal Company, he (especially early on) tried to mess with his friends and cause as much mayhem as possible "for the bit") Currently the way I understand Jax is that he's at least doing the same thing except instead of playing the game, he's in it, which is really inter to me.

    I personally don't relate to Pomni like most of the community seems to do. I relate a lot more to Ragatha. Being trapped in there does kinda suck, but so does living the real world. It's more of a "pick your poison" situation to me.
    And living in a world where I don't have to find a job and make money and instead I can just go on adventures in fictional worlds where all of my fantasies can become "real" but without the consequences that would come with it being actually real... That would be cool.
    So I think I wouldn't mind being in the Digital World that much. Sure, there's the risk of abstraction, but it's only if you go crazy. If you enjoy your time there, it'll probably be fine.

    • @Ditidos
      @Ditidos 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +11

      To add to that, Ragatha's body is also the most human out of the circus cast and she probably didn't have to change her vision of herself nor faces problems due to her shape much when compared to Dangle, Gizmo or Kingler. Pommi and Jax also have very human-like bodies but unlike Ragatha, their physical characteristics are unlike anything a human could be, which might affect their psyche negatively (the first episode kind of implies that it does for Pommi specifically).

      Maybe they created them themselves before being brought in the game, or their bodies were created from the things they like and how they are as people, so regardless they have a body that fits them.
      At least it's clearly not chosen from a limited roster of characters since no human has the same body as another in the Digital Circus.

I just think it might be a representation of how affected by the circus the characters are, with the more human characters being closer to sanity than the less human characters. At this moment, Jax and Ragatha are the more understandable of the troup for me, and Pommi is the protagonist.

    @Agean05 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +71

    I think a lot of the hit-or-miss writing on the show can be acredited to this being Gooseworx's first ever serious dialogue-heavy episodic show. Her old personal works all shined with this artistic vision and insane creativity, but for the most part they have minimal dialogue. Her forte was almost always weird and wacky visual feasts; so there weren't a big enough need for stuff like story structure or character arcs. In the pilot especially, I thought the characters were flat and some story beats were off. I do think that the series will improve upon this, though. Goose is one of my favorite online artists, but it appears there's some growing pains to adjusting to this new formula.

    It's weird to see this show got so much attention. I wonder if this is because it has been a drought of "weird and wacky that looks silly, but get dark and existentia" given we have been waiting for deltarune chapter 3-4 and ena dream BBQ.
    Me personally I do like shows and wanted to see what happens next.
    Also I do like this "new wave web animation" era of animation channel and indie artist we having. Sure they may be people who may have some show that doesn't click towards them. but given "main stream" animation lately and especially adult, it nice.

    For me situations like this always come back to one thing that creator Jhonen Vazquez said, you don’t make a show from easily marketable demographic you make a show for a type of person, invader Zim isn’t for kids or adults, it’s for weird sci-fi nerds who like dark shit and good designs, same thing with digital Circus, it’s for video game nerds that like soft horror and an odd sense of humor

  • @patcangy
    @patcangy 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +31

    Thanks for mentioning the different types of humor in the show - that’s the main thing that made me dislike episode 1, but allowed me to love episode 2. While I’m not talking about loud or quiet, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of “when this show misses, it misses hard”. Episode 1’s jokes bank so hard on you thinking they’re funny because the punchlines go on for ten seconds, so if you didn’t laugh you have to sit there awkwardly until the show eventually decides to chug along. When the update animation was released I noticed the hang time on jokes were extremely reduced, and I was actually laughing at the jokes this time instead of dreading them - because even if I didn’t find a joke funny, the waiting time of one joke from episode 1 is instead replaced with 2 more quick jokes. The sun’s “I’m gonna kill you” segment reminded me of episode 1 humor and single-handedly made me realize what was going on. I also found it funnier due to the jokes themselves changing a bit. I’m honestly unable to pin down what exactly is different but I 100% feel it. Different kinds of punchlines.
    I was really hoping that the second episode would do the same with the humor, and it did, and I loved that episode.
    This was a good video. I’m happy to find a genuine constructive critique of this show, as I’ve seen surprisingly little of that considering how big the show is.

      To your last point, I agree so much. I've been searching for so long for people to actually _talk_ about the show. Not just make repetitive unfunny jokes and memes that are getting old. But to actually speak about the characters and more. That's the show's intention after all. Character exploration.
      Unfortunately, it's stuck with it's "HA HA FUNNI DARK" reputation which sucks. Glad to found this video as well.

    21:05 heres the thing though the debate of the show being less polished to fit the theme sounds cool in your head until you look at the other show glitch made and its artstyle. Sunset paradise while has simple animation was easier to do it was also a stylistic choice that received criticism from fans that it was bad yet when you look at the inspirations like mario sunshine, and it wanting to act like an older game it looks beautiful and fun with its bright colors and even relaxing. Its nice for what its trying to do. And while sunset paradise is probably more flawed then this one that played a factor into being the lesser known its not what im talking about tho
    Perhaps the audience would still appreciate the touch after all if its executed correctly as it has a lot of thought put into it more then sunset paradise but i didn't mind they still reference what the show is supposed to be while staying high quality and i appreciate that.
    Overall its a fair and understandable video i just think we need to see how the rest of the episodes will play out to see if its worthy of its popularity more. And i think it is popular for what it is too at least ive seen that from the glitch fans the first 2 episodes were setting up a lot up which is why it i feel it ended up with these issues too.

The backgrounds are just so busy and not blurred that it is genuinely a painful watchful experience, I've tried to hard to watch it but it gives me headaches because the characters blend in with their surroundings and I have to strain my eyes. I feel this makes the show very inaccessible and I would rather I be able to watch it at all than have it be a special aesthetic.

    I mean... you're TECHNICALLY not wrong, since there are three characters that come to mind when you say that.
    Anakin Skywalker (the main and eventually secondary protagonist for a majority of the series) just wanted to see the stars and be the first to explore all of space, for him and his mother to be free from Watto, and to be the best star pilot in the galaxy; if it meant joining the Jedi Order to get all that, then cool blue glowwy sword meant a bonus. lol
    Ezra Bridger (the protagonist of the animated series 'Star Wars Rebels') and Luke Skywalker (the main protagonist that takes Anakin's place starting in 'Episode IV: A New Hope') serve as a better reference, since their entire stories legit begin with an experienced older man showing them that there is more to everything than what meets the eyes, and that leads to them getting lightsabers and kicking ass with them.
    We don't talk about the Mandalorian, Ahsoka, or the Acolyte; those shows honestly ruined the concept of lightsabers. As good as Mandalorian is, I genuinely believe they fumbled with starting that bullshit.

    Great vid :) I think I agree with all of your thoughts. The worldbuilding is a little thin on the bone right now, and I'm not super convinced by the way the show explores nihilism and dissociation. I get more insight into the story's themes through those Tumblr ask blogs than the story itself. Your argument that you dismissed about the Ragatha clip is right on the money IMO. Unsubtle, a bit shallow, clumsy. Sums up a lot of my negative feelings about the show.
    That said, the show's still genuinely entertaining. Like you I'm pulled along by genuine character development and the occasional very funny joke. I love that Jax is an asshole and he regularly gets a laugh out of me.
    My only real disagreement is with Gummigoo. The shock and indignation I felt when you besmirched his name... He's my boyfriend and while his dialogue is kind of stilted and he is a corpse I will not tolerate this slander

    During the section where you talked about the comedy, the things you listed as “bad jokes that you didn’t like” were things that… didn’t even register as jokes to me? I can’t really agree with any of your criticisms about the humor because as far as I can tell the things you were criticizing weren’t even supposed to be humor. So, including those scenes feels a bit like judging the intelligence of a lobster by its ability to climb a tree. Caine’s default attitude isn’t a joke, that’s just the way he is. The moments where he breaks character is the beginning and end of the joke. And Ragatha breaking down is, as you said, necessary setup for the concept of Abstraction, and not at all intended to be a joke imo.

    I have weird thoughts on this show. on one hand, I think Gooseworx is actively trying to make this show the best it can be. on the other hand, I think the show's mistakes and sloppy pacing are the result of how Glitch is run as a company. Kevin Lerdwichagul, the CEO of Glitch, has had several anonymous former employees coming out about their experiences working for him and none of them are good. but one of the main problems is that Kevin forces unrealistic deadlines onto the creators, resulting in severe time crunches, episodes being rushed, and animations errors that the artists didn't have time to fix due to the aforementioned time crunches. the only reason people don't talk about this or any of the other terrible things Kevin does to his employees on a regular basis is because the fandoms the shows make worship him. they treat him like a flawless man who can do no wrong. and once he released an "apology", which felt like he was trying to dismiss all of the allegations as baseless slander and paint himself as the victim, everyone just swept all of the allegations under the rug. also Gooseworx hasn't said anything about him because all employees who still work for Kevin are discouraged from ever calling him out online over how he treats them with threats of blacklisting (something he tried to dismiss as a baseless rumor in his "apology" post)

      @VANILLAMILKISGUD 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      You’re so right. Crunch is a big problem in the industry, especially the game part of things. Kevin should definitely drop crunch for something better, because it’s proven that crunch only hurts the product you’re making and your employees working on said product. Also, one more thing, it really pisses me off that Kevin is seen as this guy who can do no wrong while that’s not the case at all. Not saying he’s a monster, just saying he’s a- how do I put this lightly?- a product of his environment. But what do I know, he can be a horrible person for all I know. I would go on a long tangent about this because I’m super passionate, but your comment already exists so-

      "Stans" "kevin trying to paint himself as the victim" I guess I'm a Stan for disagreeing In the very apology he didn't deny it was terrible, It was no secret it was production hell over how they talked about meta runner and those who bring the Celeste situation seem to look over how he was doxxed to force him to speak and the community was outright toxic about awnsers and making assumptions which escalated instead of waiting. That all played a factor into the silence we see today and why people are so quick to defend too.
      I think it's completely valid to assume all this with all due respect I'm not even mad or whatever at this take
      but already you don't know how the production of episodes and writing works these days if you're blaming one guy. Goose literally was told she could work on the rest of the show while they went through approval process not to mention they switched the release episode methods this is gooses mistakes not Kevin's and I think it's why so many stans can't take it seriously anymore I wish myself everything was handled better.

    I think that it isn't bad, per-se, but rather overrated. It overshadowed many more animations of the same quality, or even higher (for example, Emesis Blue is the same quality, but only has 10 million views compared to the TADC pilot). It is also designed to appeal to a wider audience than Emesis Blue. While Emesis Blue is only audience are people who are in to stuff like the shining or TF2, however, TADC's target audience are late teens to early 20's, as stated, which contains a lot more people than those niche categories.
    I mean I think VeggieTales is better, so I'm probably wrong.
