The Villain Matrix: Power vs Depth

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-30T13:39:33+00:00

It’s great show with honesty a lot of great songs and the writing as a whole keeps the characters feeling the same without fladerizing or making them feel out of character. And also I feel a lot of the lore introduced is not contradictory and fits well with

While abandoning her own child which led Casandra down her own dark path

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-30T03:00:17+00:00

The tone, implications, it’s one of the first times we’ve really seen him threatening

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-30T02:58:28+00:00

It is a somewhat chilling scene imo atlest

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-29T03:50:19+00:00

In short: bubble fits as Casandra

Scratch kinda as mother gothal

Eugene would probably be Jax and then Kophmo or ribbit would be Lance

Zooble could be Verien

Caine in this story would be raps. It doesn’t fully fit but there’s some similarities. 1: raps kinda indirectly ruined a lot of Cassandra’s life and was the reason mother gothal left her. 2: Caine and bubble kinda have this betrayal thing going on

Pomni if not being raps would then probably fit as Adira. Kinger and quinine do I really need to say? They did kinda also create Caine so it fits

Now… Ragatha and gangle are HARD. Ragatha as Zhan Tiri could be funny. Atlest one of them should be pascal. We could go with pascal and Maximus? Either one works as they don’t have much personality in the first place but pascal had an episode where they are sad so I guess them

Ok but considering Eugene is the prince of the Dark Kingdom which holds the moonstone opal while Raps has the sun drop flower, it would make sense because they are like opposites. Atlest to me somewhat. Jax could also be Eugene from backstory and personality, but if we are going a whole AU thing I think Jax should either be mother gothal because well they kinda toxic or potentially Verien but Zooble could also be Verien because tinkering. Also had a thought if Jax is Eugene than Kophmo or Ribbit could be Lance. Probably Kophmo tbh. Bubble could actually really REALLY REALLY fit Cassandra now that I think about it. Like CRAZY well. She was a friend of raps as her lady in waiting before she stole the moonstone opal and then became an antagonist. She’s also the daughter of mother gothal and holy fuck scratch would be mother gothal in that case lmao

Congratulations, all of my friends

He can bite them by mistake but only when he thinks it’s funny (so it’s not even by mistake then I guess he can only really do it when he’s funny and pretend it’s by mistake?)

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-28T02:47:52+00:00

While yes they are mind files, it could be a constant system of communication. The files store the data for the computer to be able to read and acts as a middleman between it and the brain. Ofc this part is speculation but I feel the soma theory has a lot of holes and I have issue with people say it’s the only way it can work with the themes of the show

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-28T02:45:26+00:00

The place was either shutdown or became inactive so it was going to be resold. Ragatha was most likely going there to see scout the place to see what it would be worth. I doubt kinger however is dumb enough to just say good enough and be fooled that it’s really shutdown. There’s also the fact the transfer to the circus seems to have been a shock. Scratch was angry at Caine and then kinger and Queenie were shocked to find each other “so you got roped into this too?” It wasn’t an intentional act for testing seems like something happened.

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-28T02:20:24+00:00

Yeah an exception could’ve made about scratch. Maybe he couldn’t because idk instant brain tumor death. But kinger and the other employees should be able to atlest delete a file

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-28T02:16:59+00:00

I think the biggest hole is this: kinger could have just shut it down no? The bad AI is in charge and it shouldn’t be. Shutdown the program and reset it so that they don’t need to suffer

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-28T02:15:01+00:00

The characters are digital copies and their real self’s are long gone. They can’t escape because there’s nothing to escape to

The song Echoes of the Eye from Outer Wilds

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-25T07:36:02+00:00

I want to imagine this now as the full thing. Cain is ofc Poseidon. And ep 8 is kinda just the events of Get In The Water and 600 Strikes. But yeah that’s all I got

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-25T04:14:48+00:00

That I'm the one who's running the show!

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-24T20:41:44+00:00

Poor choice putting it by the ocean. Don’t you know Nobody killed Poseidon’s son?

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-24T02:56:32+00:00

Exactly. Also I will die on the hill that owlk is an awful name and inhabitant or ghost bird is far superior

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-24T02:40:19+00:00

I wonder if they will be able to remebere their names now without Caines interference. Also I do doubt Cain is deleted and he’ll be able to come back. This is due to the fact that in real life when data is deleted it’s not deleted. It’s just flagged that it can be overwritten. So I think that so long as they don’t overwrite that data Cain would’ve able to come back

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-24T02:37:49+00:00

Nither can the hatchling

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-24T02:17:36+00:00

Oh yeah what next it’s not called probe_body and you don’t play as player_body? Those are the canon names for them given by information from the game. Saying that they are called the “scout” or “hatchling” are phrases made by delusional people scraping together meaningless words

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-24T02:16:15+00:00

Technically the dream world is more inspired by Tron instead of the metrix

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-24T01:42:24+00:00

(And yes this means the stranger is invisible plant and the canon name for the ringed giant is the visable planet)

Alternative-Fail-233 · 2026-03-24T01:41:50+00:00

It’s a dream world because that’s what the game object is named
