Feel like something horrible is going to happen to Zooble in future episodes.
Rewatching the series from the pilot I noticed that Caine's frustration with Zooble is actually gradual, in the first episode he's straight up FINE with them not wanting to participate and actually accommodates for it.
(Even though they inevitably do get involved, because he's just bad at his job sorry Caine).
Only in episode 2 does he try to coerce Zooble into joining, with no success.
And then in episode 3, presumably due to this being a repeat issue he makes tries making the adventure something he thinks they'll like (in his words, JUST for them) and he looks irritated that they don't even show up for it.
(I mean I ASSUME it's irritation. You tell me what emotion this is supposed to convey.)
Then he spends the rest of the episode trying to figure out why Zooble doesn't like his adventures, he tries to frame it as a therapy session but it's pretty clear to me this is about HIM and Caine is just trying to make it seem like it's Zooble's problem while also figuring out how to get them to like him.
It goes nowhere until Zooble drops that it's not just them, but NOBODY likes his adventures, and he promptly breaks down at the thought that he's bad at his sole purpose.
And this is where his behavior changes DRAMATICALLY. It could be interpreted as somewhat cute at first with Caine trying to appeal to them, but know he KNOWS that they're not going to like anything he makes, and they put in the seed that the rest of the humans probably think the same way. He's fucking IRATE at Zooble for skipping the fourth adventure in a row and basically forces them to go on it (I know Kinger was the one who proposed taking their place but really, it was Caine's decision).
And then in Spudsy's, Jax and Zooble have THIS exchange, which I REFUSE to believe Gooseworx put in for no reason:
"FORESHADOWING IS A LITERARY DEVICE IN WHICH-"
And now we're at episode 5, which is what convinced me something's going to happen. I'm just going to start and count all the things Caine does in order, he:
Absolutely *seethes* whenever they so much as open their mouth (this is a two parter with the first one)
Makes fun of their appearance despite KNOWING they hate how they look
SKIPS ZOOBLE'S SUGGESTION despite NOBODY voting for it
Makes Zooble's evil clone a babbling moron (This might be a stretch but I'm counting it as him being petty and mocking them)
Like good lord, Caine's not even hiding that he absolutely hates their guts at this point. He's tried to tolerate and cater to them with no success, he's been told that he outright sucks at his sole purpose in life, and now he's bitter and downright violent because of it. If Caine was going to crash out and go full AM mode, poor Zooble is in the fucking crosshairs.
And now here's my final point as to why I feel like it's going to be them on the chopping block:
It's all the screen time and character interactions she's gotten.
Their relationship with Gangle is the sweetest thing ever and Their back and fourth with Jax is hilarious. But there's a part of me that feels like *They're going to die,* and Glitch/Gooseworx is making the impact of whatever's going to happen hit as hard as it possibly can.
I really hope I'm wrong because they're my favourite character but part of me is prepared for it. Whatever's gonna happen in episode 6 onward is going to hurt no matter what. I'm ready for the tragedy to be put in abstragedy.
