YOOOO OMG!!! THE WAY YOU DID SUCH INCREDIBLE TRADITIONAL ART?? THE LINE ART IS SO IMPRESSIVE AND THAT SHADING JUST MAKES IT FEEL LIKE ITS A MEMORY PRESERVED IN TIME! ITS SO JOYOUS AND WONDERFUL TO SEE!!
Imagine adoring Pomni for four episodes, you adore her design, the way she's so expressive, just how stressed out she is of everything, flawed, she is capable of making selfish decisions based on self preservation, but she is an empathetic person while also having a bit of sass to her.
Now imagine that character's entire existence eventually just revolve entirely around the creator's favorite little sad boy that you weren't the biggest fan of.
It fucking SUCKS being a Pomni fan but overtime your tolerance for Jax just goes down the drain. Of course she is empathetic so even if Jax sucks she doesn't want this loser jackass to feel like nothing but it gets to a point...
You want to see Pomni interact with someone else? Take some time with Kinger, let's establish something with Ragatha but resovle it off screen, no need to acknowledge how strained their relationship was getting and just talk about Able, let's have only one or two moments with Gangle. Zooble gets nothing with her.
I dunno, is it weird to say I feel like it's less that Pomni doesn't care about anyone who isn't Jax, but more that the show itself really doesn't care about her relationship with the others? But we can't really feel for anything that barely gets any attention. It doesn't even feel like the show cares about Pomni and she's now just here to be there for Jax as he just continues to stagnate.
All I know is that, oh Pomni........... I mourn you.....
I am so frustrated that my brain is fried. This franchise broke me. I don't even know if I'm making sense. If I'm just posting some mad ramblings at this point, I am so sorry.
THIS!!! This honestly!! Pomni to me? And what her character is suppose to be?
Is a character that is very well established as really emotional stable, has a well-ground life (before the circus so far), is really empathetic BUT also has her limits and wants to set the grounds very well on how she wants everyone to respect her agency.
Yet... all it took was episode 5 and 6 and now She is more of a "I can fix him" female character.... that makes a hetslop.
Of course, not ALL the time or so far? Not as aggregious as She is still holding on to having her sass and ground and morales, but it crumbles a lot for Episode 6. I still find it hars to believe that She genuinely wanted to leave her agency just to act chaotic evil and MIRROR Jax OUT OF ALL the characters????
She is my favorite character and a big fan of Her, and does feel sad to see her being slandered by the narratice cause she focuses way too hard on a character that desperately screams "I DONT WANT TO BE SAVED"
You do make sense cause it feels that even if She is the main character? It feels now more of a device to focus more and more on Jax. I would love to see way more of Gangle too! An epiaode exploring or moments at least exploring Gangle and Ragatha? And like you said! Wanting to see Pomni interact with more of the cast! I still cant believe we have yet to see a big focus between Pomni and Zooble actually. They rarely interact just those two alone.
I've noticed that a lot of TADC fan content gives Pomni her early-show characterization; anxious, scared, confused about the world she's trapped in.
And that's fine! Nothing wrong with that!
But I think more things should focus on the Pomni we see in episodes 6 and onwards. That angry, determined hellion who'll spit in the face of God to buy her friends another minute. The girl who takes charge, who locks in when things get bad, but who never loses the empathy that made her so strong to begin with.
I full heartedly agree!! I feel that She pretty much showcase how much stronger she had become as the episodes progress and feeling more comfortable as best as being on the Digital Circus ans what have ya, that She will do anything not only for herself but her friends too and I think that goes really unnotice! If anything? Like you said! She will go to deeper depths of hell for Her friends, cause she already is in hell anyways. Punching whatever NPCs that Caine brings just to buy them time. Adventure or not. Maybe even punching just to be reasonable in general.
Support in any way yall can!! They make such an AMAZING and Incredible Artworks!! Its such a blast seeing their art! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! PLUS! I LOVE SO MUCH HOW YOU DO RAGAPOM!! AND THE KINGER DAD AU IS SO SWEEET!!
What's there not to speak about Jax? We all know about Jax in the Amazing Digital Circus. A character that certainly has many pointss of views, opinions, and differing views as well. a character that is really popular and not only that! A character that is a massive jerk (and thats putting it lightly), yet a character that also seems to have went through a lot too. However? Does this justify his actions? Not really. He is just a character that as his role is suppose to be and meant? Fills it pretty well and actually does it in a unique and intriguing way.
So why do I believe that Himself is the WEAKEST aspect of the writing of The Amazing Digital Circus? To me? Even the worst aspect of the writing as a whole.
DISCLAIMER!! This isnt me trying to throw shade and just say that the entire story of The Amazing Digital Circus is RUINED thanks to Jax. This isnt either a post to just bash on Jax. This is all more an analysis and a take I noticed as I rewatched lots of the episodes lots of times and what I believ the biggest flaw of the story is.
So that being said? Lets begin!
I had stated many times that I believe that Jax is a character that for his role and all? Doess indeed fulfill the role.
Said role being a character that is: "Unredeemable, or DOESN'T want to be saved."
Thats the key thing. The story ITSELF doesn't want to go or do anything with that. Or present consequences even. Hell, if anything? The story BENDS itself in favor or trying to favor Jax despite EVERY consequence that he receives beiing rightfully deserved. The story itself does gymnastics to make sure that Jax doesn't FULLY FULL receive the entire weight of what he does wrongs or the flaws in general.
This is WAY more apparent in Episode 5....onwards. Yup. Beginning Episode 5? Jax just in a sense becomes a half Gary Stu. I am saying Half Gary Stu, because at the very least the show doesn't hide thaat he has issues and the is FAR from being perfect. However? The story feels that it doesn't have the guts to show or make Jax face entirely said "find out" phases, because either the writing wants to make us kinda feel bad for him? Or try to like? Be lke "okay but chill" all in favor of him.
Granted, take this with a grain of salt. Maybe the writing didn't wanted to evoke that, but it still came across with it, and that kinda shows in how there's still room to iimprove or at least correct it. I genuienly felt that Episode 5, 6 and ESPECIALLY 8!! It feels tht the story wants Us to feel bad for him when in reality? I feel that he didn't earn that kind of empathy or feeling to say the least.
Speaking of thoses episodes? I'm saying all these too due to the fact with the story bending in favor of Him? It kindaa slanders as well characters like Pomni, Zooble and Gangle and of course, Ragatha.
The biggest example being how much Episode 5's Softball adventure? Had POMNI, tell Ragatha? That she should calm down or RELAX. DESPITE Pomni, A FEW MOMENTS AGO? Tellingn her that ITS MORE THAN OKAAY TO CRASH OUT??
And even BEFOREE that? Pomni was scolding BOTH Jax and Ragatha in trying to tell Her how she feels. That she has her own agency, and all. Take note of this too by the way.
Yet, despite, Ragatha, VERY VERY UNDERSTANDIBLY AND RIGHTHFULLY STILL Crashing out and calling out Pomni on her hypocrite moment? Pomni STILL wanted to be with Jax? Ask how he feels?
The thing that stings the most in Pomni's character? Is that she knows how to handle and or avoid conflicts. Her most reasonable choice honestly on the matter would've been to get out from the turmoil. Just telling them that She prefers not to be innvolved in ssaid bullshit. Or at the very least? Tell BOTH Jax and Ragatha to calm down (not the best, but still at least SOMETHIING).
Episode 6 to me? Despite how hyped up it was and all for the matter? The more I look back at it? It had such a weird regression or slander on Pomni's character. Across the past episodes before the sixth? Pomni was a character that had a steady and really determeined and stable outlook on being empathetic and kind towards many. Including both Humans and NPCs.
So to see her just? Mirror Jax's personality or even traits?? IIt feels so out of character. I am aware that she said to screw with anything and just that she will be chaotic evil.
THATS the whole point though! I feel that She shouldn't even go with that. That entire talk with Jax? About aarchetypes? In other words, that was Jax telling her to give up on trying to be human and just? Do stuff for the lols and NOT be empathetic.
Pomni, a character that WANTSS to cling on to her agency, just decided to follow Jax? Just like that? Not even like??? At least have her have some doubt in shooting either Kinger or Ragatha? I don't know, but if You ask me? If I had to shoot the PERSON (Kinger) THAT HELPED ME AT MY LOWEST (in Episosde 3) I WOULD HAVE DOUBTS BEYOND DOUBTS AND HUGE HESITATION. Honestly not even having the guts to try and shoot them. Pomni STILL believes they are humans CAUSE THEY ARE Humans.
And in my opinion? I think this way more decreasing Pomni's character of being a "Leader, emotional stable that holds into the Little agency she has over herself and also a person that can lend an ear to hear and be there for others!" Basically like an unstoppable force when You put her against Caine's unmovable object.
To now just a "I can fix him" type of character. Which to me? It feels like that thanks to how much the story is pushing Pomni to be that. Which is such a HUGE GLOSS over her character and how she is.
This is a showcase in how the story wanting to favorite Jax's entire being isi what I mean that its a bad aspect. The favoritism BLEEDS to the story and makes the characters not be themselves from what have been estipulated or shown.
EVEN if, its not favoritism? Its still not exactly the best showcase of Writing cause its regressing and or changing Pomni's character just like that.
Alright, now lets go with Zooble. Zooble isn't afraid to show that They DISLIKE Jax. We know this. We seen this. Despite it all? They still are human. They still at least won't try to want Jax to be dead or sosmething.
My problem is? Is that They were TOO lenient with just having Jax press the red button and screwing them off.
Even if the arguement of the blue button NOT making them escape? It felt real. And that was enough for all of them. ESPECIALLY Zooble who wants to get out just as bad. THEY WANT to have a time and a mark outsside the world.
Yet? What does Jax do? Justs be like "I told you so." WHICH AT THAT MOMENT? ISS THE WORST. But he doesn't care. He doesn't care, he didn't care nor will, nd yet? No fight back from Zooble.
The least that could've be done from Jax? Is to apologize or somethig, but we KNOW that he will never do that, yet the story is afraid to do somethinig about it. LIke haave them be more pissed with him or just frustrated or aanything! Emotions runs high and I think a crashout was deserved. The story is afraid to have him face that. Its afraid of letting the character genuienly BE PISSED at him. Which in turns just make said characters feel way off.
Again, the Digital Circus isn't exactly the heaven or secure place either. Jax suffered alot yes. But liike I had saidd plenty of times.
Two things can be true aat the same time. Jax has suffered, but that doesn't mean that he has the right to make others suffer just cause he suffered. Everyone in the circus is in the trenches and this isn't to powerscale trauma or anything, far from it, itis more so to show that the last thing to do? IS TO ADD MORE to it. Copium or not. Reminder that he is hte MAIN reason why Gangle feels liike she isn't human anymore at this point, and just feels like a toy. Which is way fucked up.
And Jax? Takes pleasure in HURTING AND KILLIING all of them just to entertain himself. REMINDER TOO that the Pain feeling? Is stilil there. THEY CAN STILL feel pain.
Like I had said, I feel that the biggest flaw is how much the favoritismm bleeds or if not? How much the story itself is afraid to have Jax face a lot of what rightfully is crashes out against him.
To wrap this analysis? I wanted to talk about this in terms of bring up an aspect that per say could be improved for the writing or at least something that perhaps Episode 9 could tie or wrap it a much better light to all the characters and all despite the overarching favoritism flaw. Rather than just saying all this to throw shade. The crew behind TADC are all talented people, but they are all still humans and they can make mistakes. Not every story is flawless or perfect and thats okay! Hell! Many stories have different flaws that one cant ignore or have the same kind of flaw like I believe Jax being for this particularly story.
I sincerely want nothing but the best for the team behind TADC and said if any of them wanna do any future stories? To see the flaws as a way to improve and see what can be better. To NOT let something that is personal to you (whether You love or hate a character that it bleeds into the story and thus change it for the bad cause its affecting how You feel).
Thank You everyone for reading my analysis!! I hope yall are having a great day and night!!
What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?
When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.
I believe? That Jax is essentially the worst and weakest aspect of per say the writing of The Amazing Digital Circus. I will boldly claim this even before the Finale AND After the finale mayhaps. Because his character as a whole just crumbles on the set ups and all falls apart on episode 3 onwards.
At least in terms of storywriting and how the story sets him up to be? The show's direction doesnt seem to live or fill what he is. And comes across as per say a little bit of Gary Stu and even slanders characters like Pomni and Zooble. Even Gangle to a stretch.
Im gonna make a more in depth analysis of that take per say on a next post I do.
RAGATHAAAAAA!!! RAGATHA RAGATHA RAGATHA!!! SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AND PEAK AS ALWAYS!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ THE WAY YOU DID HER SO GREAT!! ITS BEYOND AMAZING AND AWESOMELY AWESOME GOOOOD AND SO MUCH UNIQUE!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕
