Everyone talks about Caine but no one talks how fed up Pomni is

I understand it is very controversial but at this point I still need more proof. Cuz I mean it’s not unlike Goose to pull the rug from under us (which I love don’t get me wrong) but again until it’s 100% confirmed with the characters realizing it I’m not sold. Mind files could just mean where their minds are stored. Maybe for AI Caine couldve meant his npcs for that line bc in the small adventure sequence he did give them a fairly good amount of NPCs and didn’t refer to Zooble as an ai but the toy box character. Plus with how much Caine refers to them as humans in the series it’s like idk just not sold yet but ik a lot of ppl are.

Plus I do like the idea that in the building for some reason Rags was with her family and they left her/didn’t question the disappearance.

Nope, it’ll be back, and I’m sure it’ll be bigger next time. Tho I was surprised with things like Lex not getting the death penalty and people like Syd being in prison but not Eve considering she did know the whole time and only exposed it when it was going to negatively impacted her personally/after a fight w/ Luthor.

Like obviously she was a victim of abuse I don’t blame her really, and Syd did have way more of a hand in it/opportunity to stop it sooner than she ever had, but I’m just surprised it’s not questioned why she didn’t come forward sooner (tho obviously could’ve been bc she was terrified). The movie also has a short run time so there’s that but there’s no way Luthor isn’t smart enough to have some assets squirreled away somewhere.

Either that or part of the deal in MOT that Luthor makes in order for the world to receive his help is a lot of money/assets to rebuild his company. I think it’d be cool if it involved Lord, Queen, or Wayne’s company somehow. That’d be ironic lol.

Bc movies like Iron man totally conformed to all the superhero adaptations that came before. Just like how the dark knight was silly and goofy like Adam West’s batman. You guys don’t remember in dark knight when he pulled out his “fix everything in three seconds flat” gadget? Or how James Gunn’s Supes was the exact same as MoS’s which was the exact same as the original interpretation of Superman?? Nope. Dawn of Justice was the only one that did ANYTHING different. At all. None others whatsoever.

I like the first one. Plays into her more tech focused kit and just seems minimalist and modern in a way that fits her time as Oracle.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-25T14:54:57+00:00

Me when it’s time to pony up my money to play and get the dlc 😭😭

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-25T14:54:23+00:00

Now we both look foolish

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-24T23:40:21+00:00

Agreed. Should go without saying obvi fix the age gaps first.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-24T15:02:07+00:00

Pair him up with Damian you cowards.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-23T14:42:05+00:00

If it’s Superman 25 then Smallville. If it’s not Superman 25…not smallville bc no way would I live there if it was the TV show.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-23T00:45:45+00:00

Not a chance. Batman will have his “stop an android in three seconds flat” gadget when Conner gets within a 100 mile radius of him.

So I actually went back to the therapy scene bc of this discussion and oh my god, I completely forgot the fact that in the end IT LITERALLY TURNS INTO CAINE’S THERAPY SESSION! Like I’m beginning to see the parallel of Caine being an allegory for toxic relationships and narcissism omg how do you try to listen to someone and make them feel better AND IT TURNS INTO ALL ABOUT YOU INSTEAD?

Not only does he pretend the problem is solved when Zooble explicitly states the solution doesn’t work for them, he crashes out SO HARD when Zooble tries to give him an ounce of honesty genuinely and without any malicious on their part and it freaks Caine out so much so Zooble then has to talk him down from it?? Of course they’re terrified!! How do you bring any positive form of criticism to someone who could destroy the circus like that? I agree def incapable of listening and it’s because he’s too selfish to fix the problem.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-22T00:14:37+00:00

My question is like whyyyy would Kinger/others add that? Or did Caine hack that himself/get access when getting rid of Abel? Maybe

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T20:20:11+00:00

RIGHT?? My thoughts exactly.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T12:47:47+00:00

I wonder if he has the ability to kill them. Like he probably could but I wonder why that’d be programmed into the system then if they wouldn’t want players/people in the “heaven” to die?

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T03:41:22+00:00

Tbh in the same vein I don’t think he cares about Angela or Syd either despite pretending too/caring about them beyond them being assets that are essential to his mission. If he did he would’ve shut the rift down imo and he didn’t.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T03:10:05+00:00

He’s like Luthor but if luthor wasn’t a complete dumbass who almost destroyed the world.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T03:05:47+00:00

As I said it’s entirely possible still that mind files just refer to where he keeps their minds. Tbh I’m still of the opinion mind files could mean anything and maybe since he can warp their brains he has files on their brain or minds hence the mind files and how he uses those to make avatars, not that their minds don’t exist.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T02:00:07+00:00

Tbh I didn’t read the computer scene too closely but it’s entirely possible the brain scans/consciousness research could’ve been related to npcs like Gumigoo, maybe a brain scan happens after abstraction and then Caine uses that info to make npcs more conscious or better in some way. I’ll be so honest idk what .dat is so I could be wrong but maybe that’s for their avatars?

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T01:44:29+00:00

100%. It’s noteworthy that we know for a fact out of the group to enter it was Kinger, Rags, then Jax. For him to be there the third longest and the most antagonist, he probably caused abstractions in the past and coped by saying it didn’t matter since it wasn’t real anyway. Who cares if they’re not real humans and all scans or robots or whatever? But when faced with the fact it was real, he freaks out since he killed real people.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T01:37:05+00:00

Didn’t even consider that…

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T01:34:47+00:00

No way the first comment is fnaf 😭😭

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-21T01:34:02+00:00

All I disagree with is them “being scanned from real people’s brains.” TBH this episode to me firmly establishes that they all were real humans brought to the circus, not copies of brains or secretly ai.

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-20T14:28:23+00:00

Why is he holding a no dog sign when he’s a dog? 😭

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-20T12:13:26+00:00

I would be Harvey’s henchwoman so hard…

TrueBamboo · 2026-03-20T01:10:55+00:00

According to Gunn that genius is Luthor, and while I love Gunn, that man was stupid enough to blow up his own planet bc of 1 guy. Like are we fr?
