i sentence everyone on tiktok to 1000 years media literacy classes

i enjoyed the finale so much that i completely forgot that some people would have really, really bad takes about it.

It does occur to me that as an animated show that has been available to watch for free online, a not-insiginificant number of these takes are truly just “baby’s first foray into critical thought.”

And while I’m honestly glad that a space exists for people to explore this, I am begging for your next social skill exploration to be “how to discuss your observations and opinions without being a complete dick who will not budge bc they think they’re morally superior to everybody.”

#tadc #the amazing digital circus #tadc spoilers #‘the writing is bad because i didn’t get to watch a character i disklike physically suffer’ is a hot garbage take i hate to tell you #i’m willing to entertain ‘booo writing bad’ if the reason is literally anything beyond ‘i personally did not like it so it MUST be bad’#buf if your argument solely consists of defaulting to every logical fallacy in the book it doesn’t hold any water. and i know you know that.

also there is a thing i’ve been doing that i KNOW people are going to start calling me tf out for and ugggggghhhhhhuh

#like ik how the internet works i’m not stupid #and maybe i should just comply #i will sleep on this and wake back up with the thick skin this hellhole once taught me to cultivate #i’m just really excited to talk about this and am trying to brace for the stupid minor part that is going to suck. that’s all.#tadc #the amazing digital circus #tadc spoilers #no but i seriously have a thought on this that is important to me bc it resonates and it kind of hurts that i can’t say shit about it

i’m gonna leave this here and go to bed.

#like genuinely what is psychologically wrong with some of y’all that you think being critical and annoying makes you morally superior #if you hated every previous episode OBVIOUSLY you also weren’t going to like the finale #did you seriously pay for tickets for a series you clearly dont like just to whine about it EVEN MORE #i actually think it’s so funny that jax haters are obnoxious for the EXAST SAME REASON they hate him lmao #tadc #the amazing digital circus #tadc spoilers #<- sort of. slightly. probably just in these tags.

i enjoyed the finale so much that i completely forgot that some people would have really, really bad takes about it.

#i do not think i will elaborate on this.#i do need some of y’all to touch grass tho.#tadc #the amazing digital circus #tadc spoilers #like i’m glad that yall are so passionate about these topics but this does not seem to be the correct place to be investing this much energ

this is the one thing i will post for now bc it’s an incredibly minor spoiler, if at all, but

TADC THE LAST ACT SPOILER, I AM WARNING YOU NOW

#tadc spoilers #tadc #the amazing digital circus #the amazing digital circus: the last act

(I’m hiding my likes bc there’s tadc spoilers in there, and i’d hate for y’all to accidentally get spoiled just by visiting, but i will un-hide them after it releases on yt!)

ok so are we using a tag for spoilers or

BECAUSE

#tadc #the amazing digital circus #i am aware of tumblr etiquette and will not be posting spoilers in those tags don’t y’all worry #i just have THOUGHTS #i want to be clear that still mad as hell that this released in theaters and will get spoiled

oh so you mean the thing that thousands of people said would happen did happen, and now you’re mad? shocking, really.

#tadc #who knew it would get spoiled omg so crazy it’s clearly ENTIRELY the fans’ fault and nobody else’s!#/s of course #i have not been spoiled yet and am doing my best to avoid it - if you tell me i will backhand you into THE SUN thanks #the amazing digital circus

oh but the “you’re entitled / stupid / chronically online if you’re upset about this” crowd can still suck my dick and choke :)

#tadc #the amazing digital circus #the ‘scientifically speaking you enjoy something more after it’s been spoiled!’ people are also on my list

I’ve cooled off a bit at this point, but I still think the theatrical release of TADC’s finale is a poor choice.

I want indie productions to thrive and be successful. I want that so much, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I just don’t know that this is the right way to do that.

Glitch’s statement that they were pushing for a closer release “for the sake of the fans” or whatever sits a little strangely with me. It solidifies that they did know we’d have a spoiler problem, but were not willing to give up the theater run over it.

The hype on indie projects is largely upheld by their fans. Knowingly throwing many of the fans that made the project so popular and loved in the first place to the wolves (i.e. fans with worse internet manners) is obviously going to make them feel like they’ve been slighted by the very thing they love, and cause them to be wary of other indie works in the future.

TADC’s merch runs have been well-supported. I see merch multiple times a week in physical stores. I’ve even seen a ton of people dream up other merch ideas and get thousands of “yeah, i’d buy that so fast” comments.

I’m just really baffled that they decided on the option that is going to spoil the show for so many people who were supporting it this whole time.

#tadc #the amazing digital circus #i’m aware that this is not goose’s fault and i’m really happy for her #i hate that this decision has torn the fandom up and glitch absolutely knew it would do that #which is not what success for an indie project looks like.

I cannot believe they’re actually doing the early theatrical release bs.

How do you release a show on the internet without knowing what the internet is like?

It’s going to get spoiled, point blank. What a disappointing way to end this.

They know it. They are trying to scare people into seeing it in theatres to avoid spoilers.

Well I hope they enjoy their theater money. I’m not watching anything else from this cash grabby ass studio in the future.

#tadc #the amazing digital circus #i’m honestly really sad.#i loved getting to discuss this with everyone all at the same time #its not the end of the world it just… sucks.#they’re really just making their money and dipping huh

ok, so. thoughts:

1. still, WHAT.

2. i did feel bad for Caine in his breakdown, but at the same time, he’s insistent that he’s doing his best to do things the humans will enjoy, but then actively refuses to listen to them when they try to tell him what they do want, so… is he really doing everything he thinks he is? is he even actually capable of doing that? is this why he was only deemed “semi-successful”?

3. what tf IS Bubble even?

4. “We have to abandon the idea of getting out” at the beginning, to The Circus actively disintegrating at the end is such a wild set of bookends. This show is written so incredibly well.

5. Jax’s “Oh my god, this is real.” meltdown means that at some point, he genuinely deluded himself into thinking of this whole thing as a game, probably to cope with the previous abstractions. poor bunny.

6. does Kinger getting censored when he cursed about accidentally deleting Caine mean that Caine hasn’t actually been deleted, or that there is some other yet-unseen entity in charge of that (and presumably, other functions of The Circus?

7. hey wtf do you mean this is somehow wrapped up in the next episode AND THEN IT’S JUST OVER?
