Soooooo! I got thoughts about The Amazing Digital Circus! Gonna make more of an elaborate and analysis ramble and yapping about it! For now tho! I wanna give in my takes in a short list! And each point I will talk about!
-The Opening was pretty sick! And a good call and nod on how much Caine being gone did affect the circus.
-Digital or Brainscanner copies theories were right! And good for them! Makes sense and is a good balance for both having an outside ending and Staying at the circus! I liked it a lot!
-Jax being asshole. As always.
-Jax's abstraction. Not exactly surprised but also not feeling bad! Its an ending and consequence that She played into it. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Rip bozo.
-Ragatha and Pomni moment was AMAZING! My only wish tho? Is that I wish we get to see more moments between Ragatha and Pomni just to make it feel more satisfying. Trying to tell Us their relationship is not exactly the best pay off for that moment and is a clear lackluster of Show, Dont tell. Oh Ragatha, I wanna save You so bad from the writing.
-Pomni's characters once again... being slandered as hell by making her a therapy dog and "I can fix Her" situation which is toxic as fuck and also doesnt work considering future points. Again too. Oh Pomni, how much I want to save you too.
-Abstraction hug ex machina out of nowhere. So damn? Kinger never hugged His Wife? And or knew about this?? Oof on that.
-The entire plot being "This is why Jax is a horrible person". Gurl. We knew this and has been planted the ideas ever since on episode 2. Gardening the sympathy just makes it worse. I wish it was the entire cast going into Her conscious tbh. It would felt more closure and complete.
-"Isnt she lovely?" No. Good for her transition, but she isn't lovely.
-Gangle SHOULDNT cry for Jax.
-Caine's subplot really came out of nowhere. Happy that he is okie dokie! I think his segment was done well and it was beautifully written and composed even in such a short time. But wish the finale lead more to that rather than the Jax show. Caine, if anything, feels and is written to be a character that will be shown and explored more. But that would only happen if it was THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS.
-And thus, We get the happy endings and the writing of all characters in a montage! Nothing wrong with that, but damn, we really just do be having Hype moments, auras and montages rather than actual storytelling writing and Show, Dont tell.
Suffice to say? I got a lot to say about this Series finale. I dont think by all means is the worst thing ever, but its a kind of finale that You expect from how The Amazing Digital Circus's clickbait story telling feels like. You expect something there, but arguably thats NOT what the story's direction goes despite the set up telling you otherwise.
I will elaborate more in the next post all of my summarized points here and Thank you all for reading!
