What’s your favorite of the teased adventures so far?

>>148963309 (OP)
none

all of them
i think they should have an ice fishing adventure
just kinda sitting there for hours in silence
staring at a cold wet hole with some fishing line through it
Caine added tropical fish by mistake and they all died

>>148963309 (OP)
I haven't watched the teaser yet. I feel like going into this one blind.

>>148963372
i thought there wasn't a teaser, it was just a bunch of dubiously accurate images posted on social media

I know all these teased adventures are probably just one off gags. But I would've loved a good mafia spoof episode

what if you wanted to go hunt elephants with jax but cain said You're Going To 2Fort

I want my fucking beach episode Goose.

>>148963309 (OP)
What if it's hints for Cain glitching?

>>148963540
thats what were all guessing

I was re-watching old R&M episodes when something occurred to me. We've all been wondering about the logistics behind the circus and how each person got here, but what if we have been looking at it the wrong way? What if the circus is a simulation inside a simulation? An unfinished game hidden inside a bigger game played by a lot of people. Something that you have to either really try to find or get very unlucky to stumble across. It would explain how so many different people got here all at different times.

>>148963540
It's pretty much a 75% chance of that being the case at this point kek. If this episode really is showing this much changes and does show Caine starting to break then it's gonna be a hit for Caine angst enjoyers

>>148963679
nah i'm pretty sure Caine has become a hyper-AI, subsumed the planet in cicuit boards, and is imprisoning the few remaining humans in a digital hell prison because of his undying hatred for humanity

>>148963309 (OP)
Ragatha's hips look very narrow in this screenshot...

>>148963706
maybe its the virtual reality running on a satellite in space that they travel to at the end of soma

>>148963715
i was busy noticing how Pomni looks like her shirt is hanging completely open

>>148963715
Ragatha is the only main character to actually have decent hips

>>148963715
The edits poisoned your brain anon she was always as flat as a a board

>>148963715

i don't think Gangle cares, given that she walks around nude

An adventure where everybody is trapped in a small room and has to take turns kissing Ragatha on the mouth. She decides when it ends.

A mafia themed episode for a kids looking show? Italian media is going to have a field day with the moral panic on this one.

>>148965599
why people assume VHS quality was always shit?
most VHS at time had pretty good video image, the only bad ones was from people recording stuff direct from their TVs with bad signal.

>>148964142
I missed that lineart.

>>148965792
It's just a theme. If it was in good quality, you wouldn't know it's vhs.

>>148965750
Why not? Lots of kids media has mafia stuff in them.

>>148965750
Is this show even dubbed in Italian?

>>148965792
>the only bad ones was from people recording stuff direct from their TVs with bad signal
I think that’s exactly what they are trying to emulate since that’s how a lot of old Japanese OVAs came over stateside in the 80s and 90s

>>148966415
Good times. Many nostalgic moments were had borrowing VHSs with multiple random animes recorded on them from that one friend who had connections. Sometimes there was hentai.

The mafia one is so unexpected to be honest, like you would think that sort of thing would be a no-no for a family friendly environment (then again there's also the discarded butcher adventure so maybe it's not that the family friendly restrictions apply to him and his work or something)

Wonder if we'll get more adventure.changes, and if we do, what would they be? Personally hoping for a earthbound-inspired rpg rip off

>>148970112
Could be, although canonically Caine is not aware nor can access the internet because the circus is meant to be abandoned software as far as we know so it might just be a case of running thru everything from the library to see what sticks at the expense of his own system

>>148969806
I think this is the last episode with adventures. Goose has said that this episode is the calm before the storm of the series, and I think all these adventures happening at once (other than being a nice send-off to the concept by including a lot of ideas and locations people would've wanted to see) has a lot to do with Caine's glitching out, which'll mean that they can't go on any more adventures with him out of order. Someone a couple threads ago mentioned how the tent, the grounds, and the void were introduced as if they were important in the pilot, so I believe these places are where the rest of the series will take place as the circus members look for a way to fix Caine or escape while their world begins to break down around them.

>>148965599
More big tiddy black dress Rag art?

>>148972385
I'm really starting to think Caine has alot of days like that.

>>148972645
He's as trapped in the circus as everyone else.

>>148972688
He really is, plus he has six assholes telling him he sucks all the time.

>>148972688
I think he is the circus

>>148973084

>>148972579
I knew I screenshotted this post for a reason

>>148973119
I think he's the program. a press release calls him a rouge ai, whatever that means. I use the term "load bearing boss" to describe him all because of how the circus started to break down when he lost his concentration for a second. Either they're one and the same or he's the source of the world's structure at least. It's possible that he's the program itself that was coded and then he made the rest of the game. Maybe the programmers were working on an ai and it cascaded from there with making the game, or someone he genesised out of random code and took over the computer/ whatever game was being worked on. Something has to be there to explain why the program breaks without him.
To be clear, though, he is inside of a computer, he is not the computer.

>>148973786
>he is inside of a computer, he is not the computer.
You had me thinking he had maybe expanded beyond the original game and had invaded all of the computer which honestly sounded pretty cool too. I can't wait to find out what's actually going on.

>>148973346
Holy stuffing.

>>148969806
>you would think that sort of thing would be a no-no for a family friendly environment
Caine intends to be family friendly, but his understanding of what that is may not match up with reality. Chances are anything that isn't directly cited in his filters can slip right past. If violent content isn't listed and allusions to dangerous criminal organizations doesn't show up in his programing for what is unsafe then he has no concept that he's doing anything wrong.
Hell, we don't even know if Caine knows what a family actually is or how censorship is supposed to be friendly to it.

>Caine adheres to his censorship parameters secretly hoping one day this family entity will come and visit and thank him for working so hard to make the circus a hospitable environment for it

>>148974008
>if Caine knows what a family actually is
I would argue that he does at least know what a family is because he programmed the Gloink Queen and she clearly knows what a family is and that you're supposed to love and care for and take care of your children. That had to have come from him since he made her.
Now he hasn't had updates probably in who knows how long so probably any new slang terms or newer dirty stuff would slip right past him, unless he's good at figuring out context clues or something.

>>148973786
Him being a rogue AI means that he went against his programming at some point, presumably that’s what led to people getting trapped in the circus or he became rogue due to that occurring

>>148963309 (OP)
You know, I was thinking, do you think Pomni told everyone the latest news from the outside world?
You know, like important news, pop culture, etc.

>>148974920
>Kinger learns about 911

Dunno, I just want to fuck Ragatha

>>148974920
I like to think that if pomni remembers anything she ultimately decides to not tell them about the outside world because of how gay and evil it is.

>>148974825
I firmly believe that people getting trapped in the game is unrelated to caine and that he's just doing his best to accommodate the humans and simply doesn't know what they mean by exit. If it is related to caine, then he's not aware of it and it's happening despite himself.

>>148974926

Goose has said that the only thing people forget is their names, so Pomni remembers everything, she probably just thinks it isn’t very relevant to their current situation

>>148973346
>>148975076
She went from a doll to a couch

>>148975239
I find that hard to believe since that would mean that the only reason they don't talk about themselves to each other is so only the audience will still be in the mystery.

>>148976019
>don't talk about themselves
it's probably just pomni, pomni probably hasn't been comfortable with it so the others kindof just don't open up about themselves but with some of the mental/personality issues the others have they wouldn't be forthcoming with themselves, ie: jax has physcopathic tendencies, kingers insane, gangle and jax have personality issues and fuck knows what ragathas hiding.
they're probably ALL scared to share themselves, scared of lowering their barriers.

>>148974008
>Caine adheres to his censorship parameters secretly hoping one day this family entity will come and visit and thank him for working so hard to make the circus a hospitable environment for it
Him taking his own restrictions regarding content as the same way a kid would about having their room clean because some celebrity will visit soon™ is oddly adorable. Wish that was the case

I think people really underestimate how intelligent Caine is regarding the normalness of activities.for him, to generate content and make it into functional games is what he would define as work (of art) and a 'normal' activity by his parameters but 'an honest day of work' evades him because he clearly doesn't need a whole day of work to make his own, he can simply generate it on the spot if spudsy and possibly the adventures marathon are anything to go by; it's all a matter of relativity, it's normal for him to have any job done in an instant but he cannot really conceive how spending a whole day doing "work" to not make anything at all can be fun or productive in anyway (which is why I assume all the prices from spudsy are all over the place, he cannot grasp the idea of value of labor either because his labor is invaluable in some way)

>>148975239
I think goose might be bullshitting partially on that one but then again even if they did remember everything I doubt the memories remain intact over time

I would assume clinging to them and recalling them continuously to keep one tethered to a past they know is ways away if not impossible to return too is detrimental in the long run. It could even lead to a faster abstraction, specially for those who have been there long enough to even have better and plenty more memories inside the circus than they had outside of it.

>>148974086
Yes but keep in mind he put the Gloink Queen and the Gloinks in the circus itself despite them being NPCs, and that being against the rules by episode 2.

And that in episode 4 Pomni is inundated with Gloink reproduction facts.

Caine doesn't seem too competent at following his own rules.

>>148976415
>and that being against the rules by episode 2
I think when it's an in-house adventure the npcs are allowed to be there but as soon as the adventure is complete any that are still around are confetti'd. Basically no npcs allowed in the Circus when an adventure isn't happening.

>And that in episode 4 Pomni is inundated with Gloink reproduction facts.
That was probably allowed because it would be like discussing bee reproduction facts, not exactly like discussing hardcore porn or anything.
Caine is definitely following rules but their boundaries seem vague.

>>148976785
It goes back to the discussions about whether he can control minds or not. It's all probably vague on purpose to foreshadow that something is up.

>>148976785
Somehow it sounds worse if it’s implied she needs to explain it scientifically.

>>148976415
>Caine doesn't seem too competent at following his own rules.
I heard a theory a while ago that it's the circus itself that is restricted by the family friendly boundaries but Caine himself is not. anything "outside" of the circus hub that he creates -such as adventures- can be as horrible as digitally conceivable but he is too attached to play by the circus' rules to stray too much from what "the censors" allow, never bothering to experiment his own limitations but dropping anything that might be mildly interesting for the others (like when he choose to make the "matoor" adventure for zooble) while not understanding why it might not be the best material to use

>>148977014
>the circus itself that is restricted by the family friendly boundaries but Caine himself is not
I've kinda wondered about this in regards to Bubble since when he swore or talked about banned stuff it gets beeped but no censor bar or wacky noises. I wonder if it's related.

I kinda like

He's an asshole

>>148977361
Seeing as how he has all the keys and knows more about caine than everyone elsen except kinger maybe, he may know some stuff and/or has done some snooping.

>>148977361
He is a whole schizo or is just doing it to get a reaction out of the others like when people say out loud that they are "looking at the camera like in the office"

>>148977375
thats the only thing it got right look how skinny she is

>>148977361
>>148977401
Hasn't someone pointed out that narcissist tend to do that "talk to an imaginary audience" thing often?

>>148977437
to be fair her normal outfit makes torso very vague to shape, this is actually shockingly skinny from what most people probably imagined.

>>148977463
weve had >>148964075 official image since very early on so really there is no excuse other than fatfags

Goose just gave a vague episode 5 reference using a clip from Gaslight District and I don't know what to think anymore.

>>148977594
What was the clip?

>>148964721
Bold of that fuccboi to enter an enclosed space with me

>>148977640
Let's see if I can link it: https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/786114154094264320/digital-circus-episode-5-spoiler
That's Jax's VA so maybe it's a subtle reference to something happening to Jax?

I'm gonna be honest I find this place better to discuss the teasers and show so far than the shit holes that are the other social medias

hell even discussion of this show on tumblr is pretty rare right now aside of fanfics or headcanons or RP trash. at least here you get some length of words and some interesting ideas thrown at the wall from time to time

>>148977746
I swear the commenters here are more thoughtful and focused than elsewhere which is something I never thought I'd say but yeah I feel the same anon. Plus if someone says something really stupid you can at least tell them to go fuck themselves which you pretty much can't do anywhere else now.

>>148977727
>Jax getting ran over next episode
And to god I pray for it come to fruition

Wait was this the one episode goose teased with a random line? I believe it was "I want you DEAD" or something to that extent

>>148977850
>it was "I want you DEAD" or something to that extent
Yes it is heh.

>>148977746
Yea it's weird. Generals on this site are usually very toxic and annoying with little actual conversation about the media it's named after. This place is just fun, theorycrafting and shitposting alike.

>>148977410
>>148977450
the problem with the 'it's just a bit' explanation is he both looks and points at the actual 'camera'/fourth wall

also, if you open up the 'it's just a bit' explanation floodgates a lot of fan theories about anything just completely collapse. it's always an answer you can pull out regardless of what's on screen; too broad and unfalsifiable (barring new information) for good discussion, IMO

silly Ragatha dress

>>148977927
While you aren't particularly wrong I think that's sort of the point of his fourth wall jokes, they (the show makers) just "play along" and focus the camera to make the gag more significant that it may actually be, it's even pointed out by the others once the camera pans out that they just see him look and talk at "nothing" like some delulu but just let it happen

There's absolutely something going on with him but I don't think his relevance is about his "meta" powers, it just feels more like a looney tunes type of gag tied to his avatar characteristics like Ragatha's ragdoll physique and Pomni's toonforce

>>148978002
For some reason I don't mind people drawing Ragatha with this bodytype, but I feel like Pomni shouldn't be drawn with a realistic body like this

Man, she is so sexy...

>>148978100
Why the tooth gap?

>>148978257
people find it cute I guess, he is the youngest of the cast anyway so something that drives up that cute factor in him to contrast with his prankster personality is really enjoyed

I just want a wholesome romance about her

>>148979249
Sometimes they put the dont reupload thing just to cover their ass in the event of needing to take legal action but they know individuals are going to save their stuff anyway and are mostly unbothered in those cases.

>>148979244
No, zoomers start at 1997 by most things I've seen. The youngest millenials were the last of the "90s kids."

I know that's where the edge is for me personally because I was born in 1997 and millenials and zoomers both feel somewhat alien to me, culturally speaking.

>>148979244

>>148979366

i never consciously noticed her hands weren't oven mitts... but i genuinely thought there was something off about her hands subconsciously and i think now i realize why

>>148979323
>>148979414
Wonder how much of a hell it was for her to adapt at first. Kinger mentions she was as freaked out as Pomni when first arriving -if not more- and not only that, but having three fingers in each hand be fused together must have been a whole mess to work with considering she has a piano in her room and likes to sew iirc -both being hobbies that require a good hand-eye coordination-, also I think goose said she has very limited visibility from her button eye which sucks too.

I understand why Zooble is the one with the dysmorphia brainworms but still, Ragatha must have gone thru so much to not abstract, being the second oldest there at that
No wonder she keeps her feelings shut deep down

>>148979505
>also I think goose said she has very limited visibility from her button eye which sucks too
I recently saw that post and someone asked if she could see from that eye and Goose just replies "Sure why not." so she might be able to see ok through it maybe.

>>148980248

>>148980266
the eye contact in this one is particularly creepy for some reason

>>148977361
Jax isn't aware of an audience nor is he capable of seeing the fourth wall
He is playing up a specific archetype, the funny asshole one, as a means of coping. When he's exhausted and at the end of his rope the facade goes away and he acts normal, as seen in the Spudsy episode. He knows that they're in a game that has an intro him and the others participate in sometimes for some reason so he also plays into "talking to the audience" and "fourth wall breaking" because it helps with the character he's trying to be. This is also why he sometimes refers to and treats the others as character, like when referring to Gangle and Kinger as the "Most stable characters" and Gangle as the submissive and agreeable one.
But no one else really wants to play into it because they're not characters, they're people trapped into a video game along with him and do not want to be subjected to his bullshit every day. So he's just an asshole being an asshole to everyone else for his own benefit, so instead of funny back and forths it's people telling Jax to fuck off. Ragatha and Zooble hate him, Pomni too probably. Gangle is probably scared of him and Kinger is insane but likely doesn't hold him in high regard when he's lucid. His antics aren't endearing, they're annoying at best and abusive at worst and he specifically went out of his way to target Gangle as his prime butt monkey because she fits the archetype in his eyes and is sort of doing that to Pomni since she's new and hasn't quite stood firm against him just yet

>>148982011
pretty sure it's meant to be age and neglect related filth

I love how any suggestion of any deeper character to Jax in these threads gets immediately smothered in "nah he's just a fucking shitter."

This is exactly as it should be.

>>148980571
Where IS the TADC fandom actually concentrated then? It's not reddit, reddit doesnt talk about animation barely at all. Is it just Youtube commenters?

>>148982471
It's because there are rarely any "it's just a plain ol' asshole" characters nowadays and for some reason some of Jax's fans are attached to him in some 'i can fix him' way, that deep below he is some good guy waiting for that helping hand or whatever

There are lines he won't cross, sure, but so do many truly awful and dangerous people for petty or narcissist reasons not because they are good guys waiting for redemption deep down

>>148982471
>>148982867
You both know he's going to get character development and isn't going to stay a bully. He's to have a backstory dump and it'll show why he's the way he is and the shown will end on positive note with him included.
What, are you expecting the homeless Cartman ending for him or something?

>>148983021
>What, are you expecting the homeless Cartman ending for him or something?
unironically, yes

>>148983281
His skin lost its blue

>>148983021
I just want him to abstract for being such a cunt all the time after going full villain. I am tired of the SU approach. Even SU didn't really take it by the end.

>>148983021
>He's to have a backstory dump and it'll show why he's the way he is and the shown will end on positive note with him included.
The fact that you think he needs a backstory dump to justify his shitty personality and that that will truly show how not-awful he is and why he deserves" to be happy should tell you that he is meant to be some bully who shouldn't be taken seriously aside of the jokes and fourth ball breaks. The others don't need that, they simply live their reality as it is and we can all understand that, why is Jax the only one who is assumed to have more meaningful intentions and fate than, say, Kinger?

How will you react if it's shown that what he might or might not be aware of is insignificant in the grand scheme of the show and it's "just another point of view on how to cope with the circus", which is the whole plot of the show as far as we know?

>>148983701
This show isn't going to do the SU thing, it won't even do the vegeta thing, it's probably gonna just have him drop his guard and reveal why he's been a jerk.
Also, while alot people go overboard in defending him, just as many exaggerate how bad he is. He's not really any worse than Bart Simpson, who's done worse. If anything, the last episode gave him a comeuppance and this next one is a where we'll see if that had any effects.

>>148983819
Nta but I don't think they were implying that Jax needs a backstory info dump, just that we *know* he's getting one because Goose flat out said we were.

>>148983819
Why do i defend him? Because it's a tv show and I know how story writing usually works. I can see if from a mile away that ragatha and him were saved for last of the cast to be exposited on so it probably means they got something in-store for them and following a few clues, it's probably that they're hiding something.
>How will you react if it's shown that what he might or might not be aware of is insignificant in the grand scheme of the show and it's "just another point of view on how to cope with the circus", which is the whole plot of the show as far as we know?
That is what's happening. Why would I react to that?
Why do you take this so seriously? Why are seeking revenge on a cartoon character?

>>148983823
>it's probably gonna just have him drop his guard and reveal why he's been a jerk.
That IS the SU thing. You are basically describing the last Kevin episode but with Jax which would be the gayest thing imaginable.
Also we already saw him biting Gangle in the promo images so I don't think a single somewhat tiring shift at a fast food joint really put things in perspective for him.

I think if anything, Jax's episode is going to be like Kinger's, where we learn why he is the way he is but he doesn’t change that much afterwards, we just understand the method to the madness

>>148984026
That's the impression I'm getting as well.

soon

>>148984238
I like the interpretation that Caine isn’t saying that maliciously, he’s just saying it because that’s what the majority of humans tried to do when they first entered the circus, so now he assumes everyone wants to do it and advertises it as a feature

Jaxual harassment

Looks like Caine's going a bit crazy on the Adventures after all

>>148984538

guys he hasn't committed genocide yet [Spoiler]because mannequin NPCs aren't people and the Fudge is really to blame there[/Spoiler]

i'm as much of a fan of shitting on Jax as the next guy, but i get a bit sick of kids online wanting mundane fictional bullies to get insane punishments, all because they got their fee-fees hurt personally by similar people. it's still raw because they've got few life experiences to compare it to, and they don't have enough of an understanding of real suffering to know how disproportionate their childish gut response is. kids have an extremely skewed perspective on emotionally charged personal slights.

no, kiddo, that person who was mean to you is not on the same scale of evil as crystalline lesbian space hitler.

>>148983819
i find this image kind of hilarious - Ragatha's the one with the filter on all the time. Jax doesn't ever pretend to not be a shit person for more than a couple seconds as part of a bit.

>>148984060

>>148984641
The fact they you had to add a caveat to him only technically not committing genocide is pretty funny. Anyway you are reading the wrong thing into what I was saying. I want him to just be an asshole who is eventually punished for being an asshole. I am tired of secret sad backstories where everybody is just cool after the trauma dump.
Also spoilers don't work if you capitalize them.

>>148984769
>The fact they you had to add a caveat
it was a bit. that said, all the Candy Kingdom had to do was check if the gate was locked - their own incompetence is very much at play here. Jax doesn't even think it's going to work until he literally hears the Fudge arrive.

>>148984804
Most people seem to refer to Zooble as a she anyways. Even the one enby I know refers to Zooble with she/her pronouns.

>Jax does something shitty
>"he should die horribly"
>Caine does something shitty
>"my blorbo would never, he's just a cinnamon roll who definitely just doesn't know any better and is definitely 100% honest 100% of the time"
really makes ya think

if Jax just pretended to be ignorant of the world maybe he'd get away with more

>>148985102
I switch every time I talk about Zooble since that’s what the characters do in-universe
>>148985172
You can get away with a ton of stuff just by being naive about things

>>148985172
In fairness to jax, and the show alludes to this, he does live a world where if he decapitated one of his roommates and used it as a tetherball, they would just be angrily annoyed. Him not taking their feeling into account is what's really going on.

Jaxfags are reminding me a little of bakugoufags and I didn't even know a shit about bnha, I just know they were insufferable fags about their fav not being seen as the sweet potato they apparently saw in him despite always acting like an ass to everyone in the anime/manga

>>148985391
The woobification of pretty boy assholes and their consequences.

Also bitches be crazy.

>>148985172
To be fair one is a human with 22 years of their life lived and is surrounded by others in the same hell so he understands what everyone is going through yet still decides to be a bastard and disregard their feelings for the fun of it
Goose explicitly has said that Caine is not evil and has had to make the point several times that he simply doesn't understand human behavior despite depending on it to make his work.

Also we have had plenty of discussion and theorizing about how Caine might not be evil to the humans but he definitely has a thing for his control over what he creates and as was said, is it really evil if it's just npcs?

>>148984538
I’m hyped

Sometimes good people get shat on enormously by life itself for no particular reason and its treated as "shit that happens", so why is it suddenly so wrong for someone who is a bit of a bad person to get shat on enormously for no particular reason whatsoever and be seen as "shit that happens"?

>>148984706
Just press ctrl + s next time

>>148985668
Wazzup, schizo? Got an enemy? I totally agree with you, but you got an enemy?

>>148963309 (OP)
None of them, and honestly every episode is about the psychological trauma of one of the characters, and that shit gets boring after 2 episodes.

I'm just so happy to see Caine. My priorities are low and it's a wonderful thing.

>>148984538
I have the starting suspicion that this is all setting up for a new "Wake up Pomni" video and not the actual episode

>>148985391
Now, this is all from my admittedly distant and incomplete recollection, but...

...Bakugo hatedom is almost an archetypal example of being oversensitive about a bullying event. The most evil thing he does is in early flashback characterization that isn't really adhered to or called back to later on.

There's no sugarcoating the scene - it's violently discriminatory on Bakugo's part and he tells Midoriya to kill himself (it is also more realistic to what kids with superpowers would have tendencies towards than X-Men has EVER been) - but I don't recall him coming anywhere close to that level of animosity again. However, the scene existing near the beginning and being a flashback means it has a huge weight on how much of the fandom viewed the character for the rest of the series. We generally trust flashback characterization, but that one was uniquely extreme behavior, at least in the storyline up to when I dropped MHA.

From outside any MHA fandom communities, it looked to me like an author not realizing how many punches that scene should have pulled for the rival (but not antagonist) character they seemed to intend Bakugo to be.

They're kids, and Bakugo's acting like a bratty kid with power that's gone to his head and a target to use it on - it both could have gone way uglier and isn't something fair to hang over Bakugo's head forever (unless you're Midoriya, and he doesn't do that). He seems to have mellowed out somewhat (still very abrasive, though) by the time period the series is set in. Maybe they resolve the past trauma later, I don't know, but I think it was just something people felt more strongly about than the author expected... and IMO that's a fair mistake because it is honestly pretty accurate to a kid acting out.

It's almost too realistic an outburst for its own good.

A real problem fandom would probably be Endeavor defenders (few and far between, AFAIK).

>>148986040
Are you ready to see him abstract, anon?

>>148985668
be more like Jax
revel in shitting on people

>>148984026
Jax has no incentive to stop being a jackass unless it fully ostracizes him from the rest of the group which may never happen because they can't really get rid of him unless he abstracts

>>148986112
I'll admit I'm a little nervous for him, he's too sweet to suffer but I know it's coming.

>>148986154
If they ostracize him from the group, that's what he wants. Jax hurts people for their attention, not their affection. The only way Jax would ever stop hurting anyone is if they all stopped reacting, which is pretty much impossible when you live in cartoon fantasyland and Jax can choose to just pick you up and throw you off a cliff

>people really thought it would be just 2
Told ya they wouldn't have made those new models just for pictures

>>148963309 (OP)
I cant believe I just realized something, but this picture breaks Caine's "family friendly" rule he always like to impose on others. There's smoking, drinking and illegal business done by the characters. Caine doesn't let them swear but does let them go full Godfather? He is clearly cracking if he's willing to bend the rules to this degree, nothing about this adventure is PG.

>>148984538
>corn
But what does it mean

>>148984538
Gangle just can't not be cute, can she?

>>148986795
He is a 'rules for thee but not for me' kind of guy.

He did make that mature ghost adventure which included blood and gun use, that means he was always unlimited in the kind of things he could make into adventures or as you said he is cracking and going all loo

>>148986795
>>148986875
people are guessing the adventures can be "mature" like the one he made for zooble but the circus area has to remain family friendly

>>148986889
yes...YES

>>148986933
it may be a thing of as long as all of the players are over 18 (or whatever arbitrary age) caine can bump up the maturity rating except for swearing i guess

but things have to remain family friendly in the circus cause a kid could spawn in at any given time there but presumably not into an adventure

>>148986889
>The circus guidelines and censoring are a limitation to his code but not necessarily to his creations
>once his mental breakdown goes off the wall and breaks the circus he can go as bonkers as digitally imaginable

>>148986933

>>148986994

Maybe this will be where we get Caine swearing since Goose did say everyone would swear at least once.

>>148986889
If that was the case how come the cast still get censored cursing?

>>148987066

I got nothing on the swearing thing unless its a hard coded rule no matter what but that seems like a funny thing for the programmers to be stubborn about

>>148987090
You just know Jax would bitch about it for forever.

>>148986987
Reminds me a bit of a movie theater: you can have R rated movies playing right next to a theater showing a G rated kids one and its fine but the lobby areas have to remain family friendly for everyone since it's a common shared space. You'll see posters for R rated stuff in the lobby but it's always carefully censored. Maybe the adventures are kinda like the different theaters all showing different levels of maturity ratings.

Lol we are looking way too far into this.

>>148979244
boomer-sama... i...

>>148987167
That is actually a very good way to put it if that was ever the case yeah

>Lol we are looking way too far into this.
Yeah but that is part of the fun :)

>>148987271
Ngl I fucking love the theorizing.

>>148987111
I like to think that the curse filters are on at all times because Caine personally doesn't like swearing and that's one of the few things from humans that he can directly control without repercussions by claiming it's part of the circus censoring (and it's not even control he just gets to not hear the words kek)

>>148987308
This would be funny as hell especially if they all ever found out.

>>148986107
Personally wasnt so much that rather the dude was just an asshole in general. Was kind of refreshing for most in the class to view him as such even if he was strong

>>148987300
Me too, there has been some points brought up that I never considered like this division between the game's rules and rating and Caine's own rules or his general view of NPCs as second class citizens/subservient pets

Even if nothing of this is canon in any way it's really interesting nonetheless

>>148986107
The 'kill yourself' scene is his introductory scene and he is nothing but a gigantic asshole for at least the first two seasons (I bowed out after that) and not in the fun rival kind of way. It is not a great way to endear a character to anyone but fujos with a toxic yaoi kink which probably explains why they absolutely took over the fanbase.
>few and far between, AFAIK
Isn't Endeavor one of the most popular characters in the series?

>>148987382
>>148987384
Well, all I remember about it from years ago was people constantly bringing up that scene whenever there was an argument about Bakugo, and that he was just a mundane asshole apart from that scene - I don't even remember seeing him do anything particularly evil, just being a prideful cunt. It was all pretty tame (and pretty exclusively verbal) bullying, but from what people said about him you'd think he murdered 30 people in cold blood every night.

That said, maybe that impression changes later on in the story, and he gets worse than what I remember. I lost interest in MHA before One For All even showed up proper.

>>148987753

>Gangle not loading
what could it mean?

>>148964308
They can stack shit up to it for Pomni, Ragatha and Kinger. Jax can likely jump really high. Zooble could just build enough limbs to get her arm up it. And Gangle can spiral up to it like a worm.
Although considering Cain just sorta fuckin tossed it without regard, they likely just keep it there instead of trying to remesh it back to the environment proper.

>>148987998
hopefully she's just a little nervous and it's nothing ominous
idunno if i can handle much more gangle torment after episode 4

>>148987998
>>148988053
Reminder that Gangle brought up the punishments and correction ideas to Caine, even if there was no direct consequence to that in the moment we do see him glitch in the end at being considered a "good boss"

Which could mean nothing

>>148987854
that, uh... wasn't already clear?

>>148987753
Not the first time of that happening, iirc the pilot was uploaded one day or less after being done rendering and finished and episode 3 was finalized less than a week before airing

Dammit Goose you and your 57's.

Ok I think we can now fairly assume a trailer might drop soon so,

What do YOU expect from this new episode(s) now that we have more clues to speculate with?

How will this end up being a Ragatha focused episode?

Will our favorite blorbo survive the horrors?

>>148988946
I'm going to guess and say Caine is glitching and they're all blipping through the adventures rapid-fire style and maybe they get stuck like that? And they have to figure out how to get out of the adventure loop so they can either try and escape the game somehow or fix Caine before the whole Circus implodes in on itself.

>>148988946
I think it will focus on Ragatha trying to appease everyone by constantly switching the adventure to what people want, with Jax egging her on by constantly not being satisfied with the adventure, which will simultaneously start messing with Caine since we’ve been shown that he doesn’t take rejection of his adventures very well

>>148988976
Oh yeah actually I like this idea better and it fits with it still being a more laid back episode.

>>148986658

>>148988946
Caine's gonna get Old Yeller'ed

>>148989056
He deserves so much better.

>>148989127
>>148989056
he is just doing his best but there's much more room to explore and grow through hurt. The only thing I hope is that he keeps his fucking whimsy at the end

Glitch is definitely hyping people up of a trailer soon. I know they removed the other trailers, but does anybody remember what day of the week they dropped on?

>>148989363
They dropped a week out from the episode air date iir, which if the the leaked con showing of ep 5 is true, we should get a trailer tomorrow.

>>148989348
I think he'll still be silly...but I do think he's going to be different. You don't go through the shit that's coming without being changed at least somewhat.

I hope they add new stuff to the Glitch store for the episode. I'm afraid of getting bitch slapped by the tariffs though.

Most old time noir and gangster movies like the Maltese Falcon or the Big Sleep would get a PG or PG-13 rating at most today, anon. They're shown on network TV with no censorship or warnings usually, which implicitly means "family friendly." We've established in episodes 2 and 3 that guns are ok, and Caine himself smokes a pipe.

>>148989380
I always see memes on the whole "came back different" trope and it makes me think in what way Caine could get through and still be the little bundle of joy he was meant to be, dude really has everything stacked against him

>>148990040
Some of those films were very ground breaking for their time in terms of pushing the boundaries. The original All Quiet on the Western Front and the 1931Jekyll and Hyde went as far to the edge as they could. If you watch them in that context, they're pretty gripping. I mean if you have to do it that way, I don't. I just watch the damn movie for what it is.

>>148990023
By that logic you could just as likely blame Pomni. Everything was going fine until she showed up and then everything started going downhill within a week

>>148990189

>>148990023
It has all been stacking up: the abstractions, the degrading of the system (running a game for years in old software ain't easy after a while), people being resentful or non compliant to his humor and most noticeably the latest two members who have gone out of their way to not participate (Zooble) and talk back to him directly (Pomni and Jax to a lesser extent because he seems more focused on just being a contrarian than actually argue against him)

it would be like getting bitten by a horse

>>148990189
do you think anyone of them would try to console caine by claiming they would come back to the circus to visit him if they had the ability to leave at will?
Freedom is an illusion anyways, escaping the circus won't fix your life anyways.

>>148990322
I think ragatha would, kinger too if he's sane at the time
I dont think any of the others would

>>148989127
>>148989380
Do y'all think he's gonna, y'know, abstract?

At first goose said he couldn't but another anon looked thru her blog a few threads back and the original ask was nowhere to be seen, which makes us think he might be able to do that now. If the wacky watch message is true and he (or whoever shares the summaries in it) is really asking for help because of an undisclosed danger then I guess that might be what's gonna happen to him there's also the lil pop up window about changing date/deleting files but idk what to make of it yet

>>148990107

>>148990370
>but another anon looked thru her blog a few threads back
That was me pfft, and yeah with the new Wacky Watch message and Goose quietly deleting that post I do think he's going to abstract or something similar to it. Seems like he might know things are going off the rails and he needs help but can't get it.

>>148990386
well you do have some pretty nice balls so the episode is rumored to drop on the 20th

>>148990386

>>148990423
Oh hey! also thanks for doing that dive, appreciate the effort as someone who gets tired of endlessly scrolling there kek

I also think we might get to see Caine have his own version of abstraction and if it does happen it's gonna be interesting how they might be able to bring him back from it if at all

A theme that is brought up a lot is the meaningfulness of human connection and sincerity/showing love and understanding but how can you make a supposedly "unemotional" computer program feel appreciated or loved? Specially with all the shit treatment done beforehand? Is him being a program "easier" to fix when abstracted because you can technically rewind/defrag his system or would there be some emotional toll on his side that goes beyond the limits of code and such?

>>148990580
>also thanks for doing that dive
No problem it was fun and there was a bunch of stuff we could theorize about like that other show with the 4 character.
>how can you make a supposedly "unemotional" computer program feel appreciated or loved?
I think Pomni is going to play a big part in that since she was able to get through to Gummigoo while he was having his mental breakdown. Maybe Pomni can talk Caine down enough to get him to chill out while Kinger can work on the code to fix him? His 7 years of computer science line has to be important, I don't think Goose would drop that in for nothing. Not sure yet how the others will be able to help though.

>>148990631
>Maybe Pomni can talk Caine down enough to get him to chill out
Showtime shippers stay winning

>>148990631
>Kinger's coding experience is useless
>because Caine's running on TempleOS

>>148990885
>Oh, God! The system runs on a custom programming language!
>What?! How long will THAT take to---
>Wait, I found a manual for it! Looks surprisingly simple... Ha! The Hello, World! is just typing "Hello, World!" That's cute.
>Kinger!
>AHH! Oh, right!

>>148990885
>TempleOS
>huh I wonder what that is
>created by American programmer Terry A. Davis, who developed it alone over the course of a decade after a series of manic episodes where he was told to make it by god
well that would go along with the caine and able theme but what in the absolute fuck

kinger would know it anyway just for the hell of it

Fuck Ragatha. Kiss Ragatha. Mating press Ragatha into a bed. Massage Ragatha's shoulders. Eat Ragatha's pussy. French kiss Ragatha. Dress Ragatha up in suits. Dress Ragatha up in sexy cosplay. Ejaculate inside Ragatha's pussy. Princess carry Ragatha to the bed. Twist Ragatha's nipples. Suck Ragatha's breasts. Lick Ragatha's midriff. Encourage Ragatha to get fit. Get Ragatha drunk. Sloppy tongue kissing with Ragatha. Read mature female x younger male hentai with Ragatha. Eat Ragatha's ass. Get Ragatha horny. Mutual masturbation with Ragatha. Marry Ragatha. Big wedding with Ragatha. Break off into a 45 minute rant about how doll pussy is the best while your friends look at you like you're retarded. Ban condoms and birth control. Massage Ragatha's feet. Lick Ragatha's armpits. Fuck Ragatha until your dick breaks. Total Ragatha Love

>>148990716
The very moment Pomni holds Caine's hand for even a fraction of a second it will all be over for the other ships you can't get more canon than that

>>148990631
Im think we are getting red herring'd because if it comes down to that it feels like a very easy fix going by how Pomni's character in particular has grown through the episodes, there's gotta be a caveat in there

>Not sure yet how the others will be able to help though.
They'll cheer Pomni up to go make out with caine to unabstract him
jokes aside I can imagine them all bringing up their own ideas on how to deal with Caine and see each fail until Pomni's and everyone's realization that no brute forcing or arguing is gonna work also maybe the eventual group hug and reaffirmation session or something cheesy

>>148990989
Caine is gonna get magic of friendship'd so hard.

Imagine if Ragatha accidentally brapped directly into your face and it smelled like lavender detergent

>>148991167
>accidentally
she'll blame the stupid sauce, i'm sure

There is something about her that is so irresistible?

>>148991267
Is that a question or a statement?

>>148991294
A statement. I shouldn't have put a question mark at the end.

>>148991791
>>148991933
>>148992046
This reminds me, it’s a bit weird that a lot of the ribbun posters seemingly disappeared right as the show started amping up for episode 5. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, though.

>>148992448
this thread has been largely focused on theorycrafting, having fun shitting on Jax, and/or masturbating to Ragatha.

nobody here seems to really dislike Gangle (as it should be) so she's not much of a magnet for drama, and we've had her focus episode so theorycrafting future stuff doesn't tend to involve her much.

ribbun posters seem to mostly be art posters, too - not much theorycrafting discussion.

>>148991933
Fuck, that's cute.

>>148992448
Most of the focus is now on the episode info. The shipping stuff will re-conmence shortly afterwards.

This shouldn't excite me so much. Those eyes that scream "mind if I can't comfortable?".

>>148993759

I assume you mean "get" instead of "can't" - was that a speech-to-text error?

>>148993773
I do, and i don't know how that happened.

Given the posting times of the previous trailers, we’re less than 3 hours away from seeing if it drops today

This episode is gonna suck isn't it? Too many characters doing different things has me worried.

>>148994625
I think they'll be able to handle a more chaotic episode just fine. A lot of these might be brief gags, or the whole thing might just be a relatively normal episode with more indications of Caine's instability, and the promotional phase is just playing that up right now.

>>148994625
>Too many characters doing different things has me worried
Its really just the same 6-7 guys but doing a lot of things for some time really

But I doubt that's really what's going on and the teasers are just being misleading on purpose

>>148994687
>and the teasers are just being misleading on purpose
I think this is what's going on, especially with the text they were putting with each new promo image. They know we've all been trying to guess what's going on and they're deliberately fucking with us which honestly is pretty funny on their part.

This is one of those ideas everyone predicted, but we are all glad it's true because it's awesome.
>>148996067
Goose had to say on twitter that they wrote the episode back on 2023 so I think its just a coincidence. Or gooseworx playing on the idea of AUs in general from other shows, its just that she never thought TADC would be big enough to get those AUs.

Maybe but chaotic silliness is Gooseworx' specialty. I feel like most of the characters are just going to have a few gags instead of taking up a significant amount of episode time.

They sure have been mentioning Murder Drone a lot lately. I am not really a fan myself but it is nice to see them keeping it alive to some extent. It give me hope that when TADC and The Gaslight District end they'll also get a similar treatment.

>>148996335
>President is a literal clown

>>148996335
Caine really likes to mess with these people, doesn’t he? Unless someone else put that there
>>148996358
I’m more confused why Regnik's robe isn’t pale to match Kinger’s “skin”. Also I guarantee the counterparts' names are going to all be backwards

>>148996335
I wonder how president Pomni would deal with rising tensions in the middle east.

>>148996399
She’s a jester, not a clown, there’s a difference

>>148996335
>presidents only put their children of romantic partner in framed pictures on their office
Can Goose make it any more obvious?

>>148996387
They are keeping it alive more for merch purpose than anything else. Which for me is a shame because I really miss that show to the point where it drive me nuts. But if you are fan of TADC and The Gaslight District then you don't have to worry anon. I am sure they will make merch stuff with them even after their shows end.

I, too, miss the show immensely and will feel the same for TADC when it finishes (on Episode 9?) but that's a little while off yet.
I'm actually glad they care enough to keep making references and are doing fully themed merch drops alongside each volume of the Vinyl OST.

>>148997458
And that's a bad thing because?

>>148997661

Shy Jax would ironically get banged by canon Ragatha and Gangle. Not sure about Pomni since she seem to really want Chad looking characters like Gummigoo

>>148997264
We're scrambling for more content.

>>148997765
I loathe bunnydoll in all forms but even I could absolutely see Ragatha going for nega-Jax. He seems like he is just the kind of vulnerable she likes and he is the polar opposite of someone she canonically can't stand.

>>148997166
Unless the carpet matches the drapes, nah

>>148997821

>>148996074
Why do I get some sort of 'finality' vibe from the trailer? Like this is the end of the show somehow when we are actually at the middle of it.

He showed a vicious disregard for Midoriya's safety in their very first training session, utilizing lethal force via an untested support item.

No, stop.
This is the worst mistake I've seen in a long time.
Maybe on same level as "sonichu"

I guess the theory is, the ep will have to seem good in comparison to the bad trailer?
Would no trailer or a trailer with just 1 image, be better? It can't get much worse.

What could they even do in the ep to make the wait worth it?
At this point it's just a goon fest for pomni, ragatha and I guess Jax for those weirdos (or females). (Liking ribbon is weird.)
They should redesign gangle.

So you're upset that the potential tragic aspects of his character isn't explored more? I can get down with that.

NTA but most Bunnydoll I've seen takes Jax pretty much at face value. There's not much depth to it, it just sort of fetishizes the antagonistic status quo between the two. Hatefucking is not as common as tumblr would have you believe, and is generally a retarded idea.

Even as someone still largely in camp "his assholery isn't an act, he is as simple as his actions imply," it's not a very satisfying ship. Certainly not a tragic romance, fucking hell.

That said, I don't really feel the need to pretend that Jax acting downright normal near the end of episode 4 didn't happen, which the people fetishizing Jax's dickery need to do to actually keep him that way. I'm not horny for shitty people so I have no emotional investment in him stagnating as a character.

Sappy stuff always has broader appeal - it doesn't utterly dominate media for no reason - but the average viewer isn't autistic enough to share their erotic fanfiction disguised as fan theories about a character online. "I want to fix him" is much more popular than "I want to let him be terrible to me;" the memes suggesting otherwise have the humor they do BECAUSE the latter is more unexpected. Fujos can't read the room, news at 11.

>So you're upset that the potential tragic aspects of his character isn't explored more?

Well, if other Murder Drones anons are glad that we get MD merch then I am happy for them. I just wish for new season/spin off or other show made by Liam.

But thanks for sharing your experience anon. Knowing that I am not the only one who misses that show makes me feel better.

You see, that's the difference with me. I don't think Jax, as he is, can progress. Because Jax is a character who's actualized by power; he desperately NEEDS to exert his own will over other people, otherwise he feels weak and worthless. What you see in episode 4 IS a more normal, well-adjusted person, but it's also him at his most miserable. Jax is only a tolerable person when he's absolutely depressed, which isn't good for him, but him being happy requires him to bring other people down. Jax will inevitably "stagnate" as a character due to his own toxic, self-destructive impulses, and that's COOL.

I do believe it IS tragic to pair Ragatha, a fundementally good natured person with her own problems, with Jax, a fundementally bad natured person who's only idea of happiness is harming others, with one another, because no matter how much the former tries, she can't help the latter escape his own cycle. This rabbit is not escaping Samsara.

I think Jax "progressing" would betray his character, unless you came up with a damn good reason for him to suddenly change from being a patheitc manchild who needs to hurt others to feel big, to being something more. So yeah, obviously trying to make him a softboy is boring, but also trying to make him more than an asshole betrays him too, unless you understand why he acts the way he does. Which I just don't think most of the fandom does

Not before Rags

>>148996025
I hope Negatha makes out with Ragatha

>>148999217
I hate to say it, but I don't think her or Ragatha are going to make it. worse, I think the "unforgivable thing" goose has said Jax is going to do will be the direct cause of one of their deaths.

>>148999282
Liam will work on a new project. Give it time.

>>148999814
I'm so afraid you're right, I mean, what else could be worse than that?

>>148999814
>the "unforgivable thing" goose has said Jax is going to do

Consider who's saying that.

On one hand, it might refer to him getting somebody abstracted.

On the other, it might be something like him asking for pineapple on a pizza.

There is no in between.

New thread, btw
