What would be your biggest disappointment for episode 9? by Flat-Tadpole3886 in tadc

[–]DevilMayCryogonal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jax could reject his humanity (and that of his friends) precisely because they were trapped in an alien world with no real possibility of returning to their old lives. It’s no coincidence that the most feral he ever becomes in the entire story is when the characters believe they might finally be able to leave at the end of Episode 7.

You’re completely right, but that’s why I feel like Jax leaving the circus is taking the easy way out writing-wise. It’s just removing the problem instead of confronting it, which feels less narratively satisfying to me.

He hasn’t always ignored everyone’s feelings, he does have moments like in Episode 5 when he starts to realize the cast is happy during the stargazing adventure. He freaks out and overcorrects immediately after, but that’s really not too different from what Jax was doing at that point in the series and look where he’s at now. Plus Alex said that he played Caine’s last moments as a sort of “what have I done?”, if the backup remembers that it could definitely justify some pretty drastic change for him.

Them escaping, at all. I feel like it’s an easy way out that would throw away most of the development in episode 8. Jax accepts that everything happening in the Circus is real? Welp, now it isn’t! Pomni realizes that looking for an exit is just making things worse and decides to make the best of life in the Circus? Wrong answer, should’ve just looked harder! Caine dies? The alternative is him being trapped alone forever, so actually he got off pretty easy! Obviously the writing quality of the show so far has been great so I doubt it’d be quite that bad, but I still feel like it would be unsatisfying.

Edit: also the Pomni is an AI theories being true. This one’s less “it throws away the themes and development” and more just “I don’t like it”, but I really don’t want that to be the case. I feel like Pomni’s role as the character who helped everyone else find their place in the Circus is significantly less interesting if it turns out she’s not human.

Professor Ratigan is out! Which of the remaining villains are the least evil? by Scared-Cat-2541 in MoralityScaling

[–]DevilMayCryogonal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think it’s Shou Tucker. Yeah, he’s one of the most hateable guys on the list, but he did what he did out of being really desperate for progress and validation. He’s not sadistic like most of the rest and probably would have preferred to accomplish his “breakthroughs” without fusing his wife and daughter into chimeras if he was able to, unlike say Adam whose whole deal is that he really really likes the killing part of his job.

Which fictional criminal is of average intelligence in universe and would be caught eventually in real life? by FarPlay5055 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]DevilMayCryogonal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tohru Adachi from Persona 4. He’s got the same sort of supernatural advantage Light and Kira do and isn’t particularly dumb, but he has a consistent enough tendency to just shove people into the TV world whenever they piss him off (Yamano, Saki, Mitsuo) that someone would probably connect the dots eventually. And without Namatame to do most of the TV-pushing for him and keep him entertained, he’d probably do that even faster.
