TADC OS WAY TO CLOSE TO ENDING WHAT THE HECK MAN
Also I would like to note a few things that I found very satisfying:
1. The way Jax was breathing, I loved watching how Jax flops onto his bed and as the view switches from him and a wall hole, his breathing quickens
2. Getting to see his room, even though it's dark it was definitely not what I thought it'd look like, but at the same time I can kinda see why, it's like how Pomni’s a jester/clown persona, so she gets a circus vibe, Zooble’s abstract so they’ll get abract mix-&-match vibes, Jax is a purple bunny, so his room got that 🎶’pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows’🎶 vibe lol
3. The fact that Jax was right; thinking about it in terms of how everyone thinks in the circus- excluding Cain -it’s obvious (at least to me) that Kinger knows more than he lets on, if you think about the other characters- Pomni’s always wondering and thinking the exit, I’d even say that even though it isn't something she's big on since the first-second episode, she still has it in the back of her mind; Zooble, Gangle, Ragatha I imagined them as the type who obviously do care, and do want to escape- the NEWEST episode shows it clearly- but they’ve been situated and accepted the fate (I doubt they would've bothered TRYING to escape if Able (and I'm gonna get to him) hadn't persuaded them); and then there's Jax, he gave off the character that wants to rebel, but won't, and instead act a way to distract himself of his torture and make a laugh, and gauge reactions from the others. We got to see a photo of him with Ribbit and Kaufmo (I thought it was the thrown out photo of him and Pomni, but this gave new things to analyze about) and this was where we pretty much get to witness his breaking point. But I’m getting off topic, point is, unlike Kinger, Jax doesn't know as much about the circus, however the way he thinks is different, I can't really describe it, but it's like how in a cast or group of people/friends, everyone has a different thought process in situations. Kinger & Jax have a different thought mindset from the others excluding Pomni
3.b. I got off topic about 3, whoops. . . jax was right about Abel’s plan, from how they follow it, to the ending, and I dunno how many other people do this, but I personally half-heartedly agreed with him about Abel’s plan, albeit I was joking, hoping that he'd be wrong, but when we near the end and a whole bunch of tension gets thrown at Pomni, and Jax breaks out of character and smashes the red button, now all tension on him and he looks perplexed and conflicted. He ends up laughing maniacally and has a valid crash out which went harder than any of the others, Jax really looks like he’s been harboring a lot in when Pombi would most likely listen to him vent
4. Abel. Everything about him. From the random sneaking around, to the self made name. THE FACE. OH- wait sorry, I meant EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM WAS SUSPICIOUS! First off, the sneaking around made tension that made his entrance amazing! But added on to Jax’s ‘twisted villain’ thought of him. The fact that he even- CAIN made a story and plot and even included vague yet important details about Kinger, plus the stuff about what’s connected and how everyone got there could still be right and it's hinting at how may wake up, also the Cain and Abel pair always makes me wanna squeal, because of Cain’s self destruction by killing his brother in the story- I digress. . . Another thing THE FACE. I loved how because he’s persona is a mannaqin, that quirky smile he's got going on changes vibes real quick with each perspective range, in the first one when he says his name, it makes him seem quirky (also makes it feel like Cain is lonely and wants companionship because he chose that name of all names) and the last time we see him talking to Pomni before she enters in front of Cain’s office entrance. Take note of how the vibes, connotations, even shading or colors changed. Especially when he said ‘pick the right choice’ which made me question if they should choose to stay here in case. . This also makes me wonder what would've happened had Pomni not been Pomni let Kinger to be last, what would've happened? Oh and forgot to mention, constantly trying to be dodgy of Kinger, like asking if kinger really needs an admission pass, and telling the group that Kinger mustn't know until later- and also in the comment section, someone(s) said that Abel spoke about Cain a certain way to get the group to pity and sympathize with him
5. In the escape room, there's 3 things I liked: how Pomni’s red & blue matched the buttons' red & blue, how Jax was going more and more off his rocker, and Kinger wanting to say something, but loosing the thought process when Cain flashed him with the brightness of a thousand suns. This poor man has been abused and someone(s) in the comment section of ep 6 said that Cain did that to stop Kinger from finishing his words of. . . Unwanted secrets Caine doesn't want to be leaked for fear of not only being lonely, but being hated as the last thing they do before doing so. . .
5.b. Jax going off like that and we get to see possibly the last setting of scenery he saw before he entered the circus-(also when he was reaching out toward what seemed to be Ribbit’s hand? Maybe his human hand?? But then his cartoon glove dissolved and his HUMAN HAND??? WAS REACHING OUT???)- and then the hyperventilating, breathing heavy, excess tension while Pomni wants to stop first. And then he doesn't even realize what he’s doing, his body moved and he didn't think about it until after the button was pushed. Like- was he good??? Was the setting giving off bad memories because he left -actually yea, he and zooble both admitted to return to ‘someone’ could be someone who matters to the world to them, or could simply just be, whether sis, bro, bff, bf, gf, etc, etc. But it could bad memories of something else, or just memories that were only adding more stress to his near abstraction
5.c. And lastly, Pomni, in the heat of the moment our Amazing MC goes to press ‘the right button’ only to press anything, and conflict happens between wanting to simply leave and figure out the mystery of Kinger, sadly we couldn't get much off of Kinger. There's also how she's red & blue, not just her character but her decision as well, it could be a coincidence, but there's a lot of red & blue: Cain’s office doors; the buttons; Pomni’s character design; the majority of colors in the circus itself is red & blue. . Pomni didn't have to be either, she could've bezel yellow and blue, or white and blue, or yellow and blue, or purple and yellow, the list goes on, but she's red & blue. And that makes sense in this shot, tho I could be over analyzing
Overall, this left us with more questions than answers and even though Jax is. . Jax, I still hope that he gets some sort of resolve, I would like to see the other’s rooms, see what Gangle, Ragatha, everyone’s rooms, even the empty ones who were left behind. I also forgot to mention but when I saw the fish the first thing I thought of was the braindot from when cocomelon, the tall, slim, green alien is dancing, and whatnot were popular. The art style, and voices definitely helped with that lol
