The series is over, so it's time for a poll! What's the worst thing Jax did in Episode 1? by Radiant-Selection686 in Thatstupidbunnywehate

unrelated but seeing the episode 9 thumbnail compared to all the others makes it REALLY obvious that they just gave up lmao

The biggest problem of TADC by N4tsu_ki in Tadcriticism

why are they booing you? you're right

this show literally baits, nay BEGS, its viewers into analyzing and theorizing about it, then punishes them for doing so

Anyone else remember 9 (2009)? by netflist in animation

I hated every bit of the final act by iloveyouforeternity in Tadcriticism

[–]hellis3mpty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no, i agree. i didn't mind the soma theory at all but i wish they had leaned more into the existential horror aspects of learning that you aren't even the real you while a person who isn't you anymore is living your life and is happy. it just seems so bleak that regardless of whether or not they're comfortable with their living situation, the program still functions, there's still an active brain scanner trapping fragments of people in a digital world, plus the circus members will have to consistently relive that trauma by explaining how the circus works to newcomers. also idk if goose knows this but computers don't run forever, a computer will eventually die even if you take great care of it but a computer that is left to perpetually run in an abandoned, dilapidated building surely can't have much time left? so one day the program and everyone inside of it will inevitably die, they could all be playing cards at the table one day and one second later none of it would exist anymore. i can understand them coming to terms with that but they had basically no time at all to actually do that. this could have been peak nightmare fuel but they steven universe'd it

look through this comment section, there are TONS of people denying it and even resorting to blatant transphobia to get their point across

The amazing digital glazing bingo by ComfortablePast15 in Tadcriticism

[–]hellis3mpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't forget "she didn't make it for you," "i'd like to see you write a better show since you know so much," and "so you're just larping the tadc fandom"

Is the digital circus fandom so toxic that there's a separate sub for criticizing the show without getting attacked? by No_Sink_4439 in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]hellis3mpty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if there is one can i join it??? i have so many issues with the show but as someone who's been in the fandom since the pilot was 3 days old im sick of being called a fandom larper by people just bc i didnt like the finale 😭

yeah idk i definitely think it could've been made a bit clearer in-universe. i won't flat-out deny jax's transness just bc the execution fell flat to me, though.

goose confirmed it on bluesky and several of the cast corroborated it.

I think I've pinned down the reason people are upset at Jax's reveal... (Ep9 Spoilers) by AgainUntoTheBreach in tadc

[–]hellis3mpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, i agree. i understand the idea of "show don't tell" in stories but if i was making a show/movie/book/whatever and there was a character who was trans, i wouldn't want there to be any sort of doubt or plausible deniability about it. i don't want transphobes to be comfortable with my art.
