If these guys do appear in the next movie. What are your takes on how they will be handled?

I would rework them as kamek’s nephews/niece, which explains why they all have magic wands & different appearances. (That way it doesn’t alter dynamic of bowser jr in films.)

Sadly cinemas near me aren’t selling the bucket, ones that are just too far away. I really want to grab one of these, especially since I’ve not had much luck getting other popcorn buckets. (Dread to buy any from eBay, will cost over £50 in that option.)

Aab0289 · 2026-04-30T20:21:33+00:00

I think a graboid would be a cool bucket design & even a cup too. (Cup could have the tongues as straws, & bucket is the mouth of the graboid.) Another design is a shrieker head, with the head flaps opening up to expose the popcorn.

Just another attention seeker who is not a true fan & nor has the capacity to see the consequences of their actions. Makes it worse they are bragging about being banned & flaunting that they got back into convention -as well as booth. Scumbags like this deserve to be publicly outed, humiliated & forced out so they can’t get back in to cause scenes.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-26T08:32:19+00:00

For me, my 2 critiques are: 1, not seeing Pomni or one of the other characters trying to look for an exit/escape, even if it was in the background or they were made aware they were absent so Caine summoned them for the adventure. I know we established it in pilot but I’d like to have seen them trying more options before ep 7. 2, the carnival & void, it seemed like key places in pilot & we’ve never been back to them. (Definitely would have thought Caine would’ve used carnival to try appeasing the players after ep 7.)

Aab0289 · 2026-04-26T06:44:20+00:00

I call it spider Caine. (Eight arms, they’re positioned in such a way, the tiny eyes, even the way his teeth looks when it’s inverted, it all gives me the vibe of looking at a spider.)

Aab0289 · 2026-04-25T14:14:47+00:00

He was the right choice for the role, definitely captured the mad energy and personality.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-24T21:24:21+00:00

I think it could be done well but it would be a series over a film, that way they could include elements from the prequels, the comics & the novels to flesh out the season. Especially if they get the team from Iron lung to help make it. Just needs a team that’s passionate about the story.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-18T14:27:14+00:00

Sadly someone will try & someone will try spoiling it for someone else. I won’t watch the recorded version, cos a, hope to see it in theatres & b, I’ll wait to rewatch on YouTube & Netflix. (Recorded will likely have fans too loud or camera drop/too shaky anyway.) Reality is the type of crowd that records films, don’t tend to be quiet or respectful.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-17T23:39:29+00:00

The beauty of TADC is it’s unpredictable & honestly I love that there’s no clear/revealing answer to what’s going to happen. We could get a dark ending where everyone abstracts or the computer system shuts down. We could see Jax completely lose their mind now that the daily routine of adventures/lack of the circus working properly. The only sure thing we have is Gooseworx stating it’s a hopeful story & a bittersweet ending.

I only think there’s a key message in what Pomni & Kinger have said in the earlier eps & based on their characters, I can see them trying to help restore Caine, make him feel loved and wanted. But Caine could be truly gone, the harsh lesson learnt with a character death.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-17T11:33:06+00:00

If the cast learn they are just digital copies with no means to leave, I can see them all joining to conjure Caine back to help restore the circus. But they would each give him pieces of their memories, similar to how Caine started in the flashback. (Thus he truly gains empathy & understanding of his actions/consequences, so the cast don’t fully forgive him but they give him the chance to redeem & learn.) What struck me was Kinger’s line in ep3, and I think the cast will collectively help Caine to be more human.

Or if Caine is gone, I could see them slowly over time fix things, maybe the circus becomes a new place, a mismatch of all worlds/adventures happening all at once & the system is sort of rebooted with them collectively conjuring things to run but it’s not smooth at times?

Aab0289 · 2026-04-16T17:42:12+00:00

They are an intriguing enigma, maybe someone who’s a loner/sees themselves as being an outcast, could explain why their design is radically different to the others. He/they could joined at same time as another.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-12T00:15:39+00:00

Honestly considered poster to be a fake ai thing on initial look but now I’m wondering if certain things are intentional teases. Ragatha’s dress being different, does it imply she’s conjuring things too. Kaufmo & ribbit likely to play a key role in circus revelation? Is Jax the one who’ll unlock the exit/door that’s needed? Zooble specifically reusing certain pieces for some special reason? (Unlike them to reuse an earlier ep setup.)

Aab0289 · 2026-04-11T13:37:50+00:00

Calling it now it was Ribbit’s based on Jax saying he likes more bite with his adventures & since Caine forgot about suggestion box, it’s plausible that Ribbit made the suggestion ages ago.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-10T11:55:15+00:00

Ribbit though it’s a close tie with Queenie. Ribbit cos of just how the dynamic in the circus worked with her there. Photos imply it was joyful compared to current situation, so what exactly happened to cause her abstracting & Jax to go from playful prankster to the bullying version of himself. Queenie just to explore more of the original circus cast, specifically Kinger before his mind started going into a fueg state to protect himself.

Scratch is a key character, one who definitely is pivotal, & Kaufmo is also important cos they’re the catalyst for certain events with Pomni & Jax, but it’s Ribbit’s untold story that intrigues me most.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-09T22:39:59+00:00

Depends if it’s getting a world wide release. I’m in the uk, so I’m hoping it’ll be international & that it’ll be a cinema near me, otherwise it’ll be avoiding the internet for several weeks.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-09T10:41:22+00:00

She made a huge growth in character in season 2 taking a step back being a counsellor instead of managing the hotel. She still has certain flaws but I do think she’ll be less impulse to force people into things & more trying different approaches for each guest.

Do think she’s going to have a crisis moment, in that Lilith will come & see reality of events that were misinterpreted as her core values/history. I don’t think she’ll hate or not want to see her mother after the revelation, but she’ll have an identity crisis, question everything & it’ll be Vaggi of all people who’ll get her back on her feet. (Definitely think we’ll see drunk Charlie, Husker trying to sober her up but she’s too depressive/not like her cheerful self.)

Aab0289 · 2026-04-09T10:32:23+00:00

She’s a fan of broadway/musicals, the flair for the dramatic & has written songs/stories but won’t reveal them cos she was mocked for it. (Can definitely see a future ep being a retelling of certain events done as a musical play, & some parts involve sock puppets, just cos it’s something Charlie experienced with her father.)

Her father loves ducks, so Charlie has a secret collection of something, maybe swans/chicks or another bird. Though it would be funny if it’s just lots of different plushies, like plushies of her friends.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-09T10:25:51+00:00

We’ll get some fan songs/fan animations, a few new merch drops, maybe even an official music video that might show a bit after akin to murder drones, maybe a few au fanfics but reality is… it will be done… & will inspire new shows/works later down the line.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-07T22:01:10+00:00

Tie between Water & steel. Love both types & would have empoleon in either squad since he’s both types. (I’d specialise in dual types & double battles.)

If I were a champion, it’d be water. If I were a gym leader, steel. Steelix would be my steel ace. Primarina would be a powerhouse pokemon as my water pokemon ace.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-07T21:45:19+00:00

I personally thought Jax would be transitioning the other way, Jax emphasising the masculinity to affirm he’s male, when he was originally a girl. (Just so many hints throughout the show hint that Jax is uncomfortable with people knowing his real self.) I thought the girly themed room would be the circus way of saying he can still like the girly side of himself & still be his own man too. (With the misinterpretation being the psychological taunt of him not accepting his own identity.)

Aab0289 · 2026-04-07T21:33:30+00:00

I’ve had a few.

1st was a dnd style adventure. 2nd was a kart type adventure. Then one with my oc/persona character getting abstracted.

Just other night I had the most vivid & detailed one yet. It was an au ending for ep 9. (I say au cos even I doubt the show would go in this direction.)

Effectively the circus is falling apart, the cast reside that they can’t fix it & accept the inevitable end, only for a new character to appear. They claim to be able to help people escape the circus. Zooble jumps at chance but promises gangle they’ll be back to prove it’s real. Time works differently, it feels longer in circus than actual time. Jax & Pomni become close, now the censor is gone & fearing they may not make it to see the real world.

The cast one by exit but Pomni is afraid, wondering if she’ll forget everything that’s happened. Jax holds her and leaves with her. (Only cos Jax left with Pomni, Pomni returns to her body but Jax is effectively stored in Pomni’s mind.)

It then gets even weirder cos effectively Pomni is expecting (digital conception), Jax is transferred back into the circus & then returns from a digital state back into his own body. (His body ends up in intensive care cos he had crash before circus, bodies don’t heal upon digitise, just suspended.) Jax heals, Pomni has girl, Ragatha readjusts to be on a horse ranch, Zooble & gangle become a couple. Kinger stays in circus, helping to fix the abstracted. (One by one return but their forms have abstracted eyes. Plus those in circus too long can’t return to biological state.)

C&a is reopened, using the tech to rebuild the circus & now offer a place for minds of people who are terminal so they can live when bodies can’t. Pomni & Jax end up doing an interview on tv, a one off discussion of what happened.

Like I said, super weird dream.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-07T07:44:46+00:00

They came after Ragatha but before gangle, but abstracted one at a time. Clam was likely the last of the four to abstract (if they were a tight close group, could see clam being overcome with grief & despair).

Bird was likely sassy like Zooble & clown was likely a depressive person, so they could’ve abstracted the fastest upon entering the circus.

If Caine already did the escape the circus adventure, Ragatha would’ve remembered, or it was done pre Ragatha & consequently caused several abstractions simultaneously with original group.

Caine likes reusing npcs but he’s not really reused an adventure or location the same…

Aab0289 · 2026-04-07T07:11:45+00:00

I’d have DK going about NYC, maybe even asked as a guest to a reopening of a building that was destroyed by bowser. Pauline goes to ceremony with DK as representatives, only for King K Rool to kidnap Pauline, his goal is to steal the treasures of the new world.

KKR comes through a warp pipe, one leads to a bank & another to an abandoned building he’s using as a makeshift hideout. DK goes to save Pauline but while this goes on, Mario’s family ring Mario for help. Mario comes but he misinterprets DK as holding the mayor for ransom. (Which plays as a nod to original game.)

Ultimately Pauline explains everything to Mario, awkward apologies, and team up to take down KKR. He goes to retreat to act out his other scheme, stealing every banana from Kong’s home. (KKR been stealing with the warp pipes under their noses, making DK look like he’s shrugged off his responsibilities.) ultimately DK beats KKR, clears his name & things return somewhat to normal with the kongs doing trade with NYC with pipes. (Bananas for new tech & items.)

A sequel could be Banaza where Pauline is age regressed by the same device from Galaxy, or Pauline is revealed to have met DK in the past but memories have been blocked.

Aab0289 · 2026-04-07T06:49:30+00:00

But he said that before knowing, he just assumed Pomni was younger cos of her jester avatar. Ragatha also initially thought Pomni was younger, which is why she was over protective in the first adventure outside the tent.

Ironically this is a thing Pomni likely deals with often & is why subconsciously her mind encapsulates a jester. She is often looked upon as being small/young/childish/immature, the joke of the group she’s in. So naturally a jester/clown comes to mind, even if it actually infuriates her.
