You have no reason to believe me but for what it's worth I'm a middle school teacher and this show is hitting kids like crack cocaine in a way Hazbin Hotel never did. Sure I'd get the handful of kids every other period who liked Hazbin Hotel, but there is 100% cultural awareness of Digital Circus.
Every kid is at least aware of it, and the vast majority have seen it at least once. They draw fan art, have theories, ect.
I'm curious to see if it has legs? With how Glitch handles marketing it seems like the VAs will be in as much employment as they want to keep the merchandise machine running forever.

>>154103649
Why do you care that a minority you don't belong in is getting representation? How is that a "win" for you?

And yet trannies always claim that it’s only getting worse for them, woe is them. Which is it? Are you winning or losing?

>>154103649
This is the age of twinks and femboys tranny, and theres not a good dam thing you can do about it.

>>154103746
I believe you in the sense that the show is 100% not for kids so the fact that it's popular in grade school is not surprising. Damn kids.

I have faith that it’ll turn out exactly like Murder Drones did - completely forgotten by the majority of people who treat it as the fad it was as they all move on to whatever new shit came out that year. And more people, as time moves on, will find the series’ flaws and poor writing more noticeable and sentiment will only continue to plummet. And the only ones who will continue to care will be a niche minority, half of which purely want to have sex with the characters.

To the degree that anyone cares about the theming of the work it will always be in the context of how the writing truly sucks, mostly due to the author only encountering women in suit form.

Well for starters I like art. I know that may be a bit of a condescending jumping off point but it feels worth writing here: I go out of my way to read, view, watch, or "consume" art made by people who aren't like me. I'm aware that the creator herself is trans, as well as had full creative control over the show, so I think it's valid to view all 9 episodes together as a piece of art.
I know that the culture war has held you down and raped you in the mouth for as long as you've been alive but we really do not need to operate from a position of othering people. The idea that I shouldn't be inherently invested in seeing a subset of the population I share a community with get a massive "W" in a time of our society where people wake up every day with a raging hate boner is one I reject. I have trans friends, trans coworkers, and it brings me joy to know that the most popular cartoon of the decade was made by a member of their community drenched in what it means to belong to their community.
Someone else winning doesn't mean I lose. I really recommend reading Thomas Sowell's work on economics, or at a minimum "the Road to Serfdom" by Friedrich Hayek to help understand that.
>>154103835
I think the difference between this and Murder Drones is the finale takes a big fucking swing with what it has to say and doesn't compromise. I really do think it will endure as an important part of trans-media and will always maintain some kind of crowd.

>>154103649
>>154103893
ok let me take this apart piece by piece because there's a lot of pure redditor nonsense in here

>he most popular cartoon of the 2020s
is a HUGE fucking stretch and you know it
it's popular on tiktok and twitter among teenagers and young adults who are terminally online
that's not the same as being culturally dominant
spongebob was culturally dominant, south park was culturally dominant, TADC is a youtube series with a passionate niche following

>unapologetically undeniably a story about being transgender
is doing that classic thing where you take a story about dissociation, identity crisis, and existential dread in a surreal setting and go "this is LITERALLY about being trans!!!"
you can read it that way, goose made it and he's trans so obviously his experience bleeds into the work
but reducing the entire show to "it's a trans story" is reductive as fuck and ironically does a disservice to the art you claim to respect
good art is layered, it speaks to multiple experiences simultaneously
kafkas metamorphosis isn't "literally about being a bug"

>i like art
yeah cool so do i, that's not a credential
>i consume art made by people who aren't like me
congratulations you've described the bare minimum, the so called "chuds", your imagined enemies in your head? they do the same thing btw
the condescension you acknowledged at the start doesn't go away just because you acknowledged it, that's not how it works

>the culture war has held you down and raped you in the mouth
what a sentence to write while simultaneously lecturing someone about being civil
you're doing the thing where you use violent imagery to describe my position while framing yours as the compassionate one
that's manipulative writing whether you meant it or not

i'm not othering anyone, i'm stating biological and cultural positions that were the default for literally all of human civilization until about 12 years ago
the framing that disagreement equals hatred is the most dishonest rhetorical move of the last decade and i'm tired of pretending it's not

>i have trans friends, trans coworkers
the modern equivalent of "i have black friends"
your personal relationships don't validate an ideological position
i have people i care about who believe things i think are fundamentally wrong, that doesn't make those things right

>someone else winning doesn't mean i lose
this is where you citing sowell and hayek becomes genuinely fucking offensive
you're using free market economists to justify cultural marxism which is so backwards i almost respect the audacity
sowell would look at the institutional capture of language, academia, media, and corporate culture by gender ideology and call it exactly what it is: an ideological monopoly enforced through social coercion, not a free market of ideas
hayek wrote about the road to serfdom as a warning against exactly the kind of top-down cultural engineering you're celebrating
neither of these men would fucking agree with you and citing them as if they support your point tells me you've read summaries not books

the actual issue isn't whether goose is talented
the issue isn't whether trans people can make good art
art isn't a referendum
evangelion didn't mean japan "won" depression

you're conflating cultural product with political victory because that's what your entire worldview runs on
everything is a battleground, everything is representation
that is a fundamentally childish way to engage with art and with life
don't wrap your shit it in sowell citations and pretend you're being intellectual about it

>>154103955
Hazbin isn't aimed at kids but it's the sort of edgy bullshit that's appealing to kids. Back when I was in grade school people loved HTF and late-night talk shows with cursing and sex jokes. At 12 they graduated to Hellsing. Same thing happens here, a lot of Hazbin Hotel's fanbase online skews very young, meanwhile many actual adults complain that it feels immature.

I agree and disagree with this. While I do think the hype around it will die down within the next year as the show ended and Goose/Glitch will move onto other projects, It won't be completely forgotten. The Pilot alone broke most records and has a big fanbase across the political spectrum. While the movie was lackluster, it still broke records in it's own right.

This is the main reason why I just can't get behind this idea. I know Gooseworx is all for putting happy music on depressing scenes, but playing a song celebrating the joy of a girl being born on the scene where the alleged trans girl is condemned to ego death for eternity almost seems malicious with how bad that comes across.

Well duh. People went to see it to avoid spoilers more than anything. It's not like the advertisements for this movie had an extensive publicity campaign as any actual movie.
Also there's a significant barrier of entry because only people who watched up to episode 7 or 8 would get the intended experience. You can't expect many people who never heard of the show to just choose to watch it on a whim.

>>154104803

I think the thing is that people online seem to think that fanart dictates interest, which isn't really how real life works.
A show that attracts lots of artists might get a shit ton of art, but have no appeal outside of that group, but a show with more general appeal might get less fanart, but will be FAAAAAR more popular when it comes to actual viewers.

I don't give a shit because it was a good show.
My issues with representation stuff was that a lot of it was performative and given to token characters or usurping already existing characters and it was almost never in service to the story, which, if Jax is intended to be trans, then that was built into his character arc and you can make those connections without it feeling out of nowhere.

The difference between Digital Circus and Murder Drones other than Murder Drones never being good to begin with is that Murder Drones never reached the viewership that Digital Circus has. 100+ million views per episode is fucking insane.

There's Murder Drones episodes out right now that haven't even cracked 50 million yet and it has about the same number of episodes as Digital Circus.

The lowest viewed Digital Circus episode is at 84 million, which is higher than just about every Murder Drones episode.

I made sure to watch episodes 1-7 before we went. All I could think about was "I have no mouth and I must scream."

I think Digital Circus will probably have the ability to stay relevant if Glitch does little non-canon shorts but it's also fine if it doesn't stay relevant. It had its time in the spotlight and it told its story, why does it need to stay relevant? It did what it wanted to do and made its money.

>>154105382
>it's also fine if it doesn't stay relevant
More than fine, it's ideal. In fact, it should "doesn't stay relevant" so much that it vanishes from the internet forever.

I will now fix epsiode 9 and urn it from 7/10 to 9/10

1. biggest change, jax doesn't fully abstract. Then manage to partially unabstract him and he's in the tent writing in pain, apologizing for everything, convinced he's about to die, as is everyone else.
2. This is when caine returns, repairing pomni, Jax, and the whole circus before his apology
3. take out the live action stuff, pictures only, and REMEMBER WHEN THEY ENTERED HE CIRCUS
4. Jax is now saved, but traumatized, and not doing the Jax face as he's featured in the closing credits, always holding pomni's hand

2nd time seeing it in the theater. 1st time was all adults, for sure, was quiet. 2nd time more middle schoolers but were also well behaved and only a few of them did memes but they stayed quiet when they needed to.

I think what I noticed between adults and kids, at least me vs them, was I'm well aware of how horrible Jax is as an adult. I couldn't quite tell if they understood what Jax did to Ribbit was fucked up or not, because we just got his tragic backstory and maybe they felt that everything he did was ok, "he thought he killed his mom", but they still left the theater rooting for him and sad when he was gone.

I would say he's like a Bugs Bunny for them. The comical jokester who is just having a laugh... at the expense of others. They straight up did NOT like Caine after what he did because they saw him as the villain and didn't deserve to be brought back.

To me Caine is naive and childish, he is the kid brother, spoiled and hording the playground toys, but he equally LOVES them and can't process how complex humans really are. Equally he changed after removing Bubble (Bubble being his insecurities and petty thoughts). He needs their help in order to keep the circus growing and developing.

The love kids have for Jax is wild, and I hope the sort of figure out that he's a POS. He has as much baggage as the other characters, but with age maybe they'll pick up on why he is the actual villain.

>>154103955

It's not though. Jax isn't a tranny. If he was, then the show would've called him a she after the reveal, but everyone still calls him a man. Even his real life self is still male. This is not something Goose would've messed up on. The dude clearly just has masculinity issues from his absent father and the way his mother treated him.
The Stevie Wonder song is more about his relationship with Pomni than him being trans.
If Goose really wanted to make him trans, they would've made it a lot more obvious. Goose is NOT a subtle writer.

>>154107014
Is not, he didn't planned well the show.

>>154107014
yeah on my 2nd viewing, the trans suggestion is just that. He's very likely gay and a cross dresser because he clearly stays a cis male as he goes into being an adult.

The Stevie Wonder song is nice but still so out of left field. And if that's the ONLY evidence people have to go on, it's weak. They needed to make it A LOT MORE OBVIOUS.

That being said, most people default to Jax being trans because of the Bow and the Blushing. Kinda hard to break their brain from queer coding.

So by "right-wing," you mean centrist libertarians who still buy subversive ideological slop slop from 250 years ago that started the progressive illness. Makes sense at least one of them would join the castration cult...
>You're suffering from issues like leftists do and think it's a clean divide
It is; it's called the Friend-Enemy Distinction. The castration cult, the sodomy cult, and anyone who capitulates to either or both of them; all I consider my Enemies.

3 years for nothing, This is what happens when a series is poorly balanced, badly scripted, unfaithful to its source material even after being sponsored as such, Poor planning and bad timing.
Because yes, the show's main problem, along with bad writing and poor creative decisions, is Time.

This is among several other general problems with the show, Above all, the rushed pacing for such a short series (Byproduct of lack of time), lore-baiting (the main appeal of this type of series destroyed in episode 6), unnecessary subplots that overshadow the main plot, Poor approach, and above all, poor internal management and a lack of time for proper development.

In other words, they present a good series with potential qualities, a solid structure, and a captivating story, but all of this falls apart as the episodes progress, depriving you of what it initially offers.

(Basically, the hypocrisy of a politician on the campaign trail.)
A good introduction isn't enough; you have to start well and finish well. It was mathematically possible, so I don't understand why they didn't do it, why do they threw The Order overboard?
Another issue would be cheesy Tumblr tropes, like trying to give the lesser antagonist that is Jax a cheesy redemption by Pomni trying to "save" him instead of giving him a satisfying punishment.

I mean, he repelled everyone, tortured everyone for fun, and was responsible for several humans going into abstraction in the first place.
Besides, Pomni isn't spared either.
How we go from a timid and always scared moe jester girl at the edge of insanity to a... a female Steven Universe in a jester's outfit... who smothers the guy who's been strangling her for a very long and uncomfortable scene.
And that, That ending sucks, the creator didn't know how to manage all of this correctly, and the project fell apart. I mean, yes, right now it's riding the hype, and despite the criticism, many people are going to watch it, which is why Glitch is making an obscene amount of money.

Which is fine.
This will be good financially for Glitch, but it won't be good for its reputation, and I'm sure that inevitably some fanfic will appear with a much better development and conclusion than this ending that the hype is the only thing keeping it afloat.

And it will happen that someone does a better job fixing that ending and giving the general public what they wanted: a happy but tragic ending that is spectacular, epic and truly satisfying to watch.
(As expected, given that from the beginning it was promoted as being based on "I have no mouth and I must scream," I mean, if you're going to reference a worthy work, you're not going to give your audience such a stale ending)

That one shot of all the different Jaxes playing poker together made me realize that basically my entire life/persona is fake. There's an argument to be made that every "self" is performative, but that single shot put an arrow through my heart with the message that I need to talk to someone. Not a therapist or someone paid to care, but someone in my life who actually loves me. My mother, my father, my siblings, fuck at least I have people like that, I've been so ungrateful. I've always thought they were lying, that they only expressed said "love" because they were "supposed to".
I legitimately had a panic attack in my car after leaving the theater over the prospect of texting my sister that I wanted to talk to her about all these things. This movie/show/project, whatever you want to call it is going to help so many people realize they need help and that they can trust the people close to them.

Or I dunno, maybe it's all just a silly show about wacky characters. Call me gay if you want, I kind of want to right now, and it's exactly what Jax would do too.

My understanding is that Glitch wanted the show for 9 episodes like their other series, if the show was given more episodes, I could see them pacing it more "better"

>>154103712
TADC's pilot is 400 Million views and at its peak threads flooded /co/ in levels not seen since Hasbro Horse show.
>>154104662
Invincible, Pibby at its peak and Smiling Friends are popular but good luck on any of them getting as popular as a YouTube show you can watch for free right now. (I think Glitch will make a Season 1 TADC: The Complete show compilation probably 2-6 months after the final episode premieres)

Goose said from the start that the plan was 8 episodes, which was extended to 9.

Glitch lets the creators run the shows for as long as their vision requires. Murder Drones was hinted to have a season 2 until Liam chose to end it at episode 8.

>>154107834
I thought Glitch wanted more episodes but Goose decided to just have an extra one.
To be honest 1-2 episodic episodes that are just Circus shenanigans would have helped the show.

>>154107871
And never hiring Cooper in the first place would've helped Glitch.

>>154107871
I wouldn't be surprised. Digital Circus is Glitch's golden goose, they're going to milk it into the ground with merch and random shorts.

Pacing seems to be a common issue with Glitch's shows, a few more episodes similar to 5 would've really helped things out. TADC is Chekov's armory and only a few guns actually got shot.

See, I'm genuinely so broken by my own facade of non-chalance and apathy that I can barely bring myself to believe you guys. The thought of anyone being sincere enough to reassure me on this accursed taiwanese basket weaving forum is just completely outside the realm of possibility to me. Even in that last sentence I had to insert some shoddy attempt at humor to give myself an out of not being serious.
Fuck dude I hate this so much, I want off Mr Bones wild ride

>>154108034
I genuinely hope all the post-TADC shows get more than 8 episodes to properly tell their stories, especially Gameoverse since its the only one I care about. Only one I could trust to not feel as rushed is KoG since Dana has the most actual experience even though I don't really care for that one

>>154108204
I mean its up to the creators themselves. As mentioned, Goose repeated 8 was the plan but went up to 9, I imagine because Glitch told her they wanted a movie to cash in on hype. In Murder Drones' case, Liam Vickers is notorious for never finishing anything, so I'm not surprised it ended in such a quick and unsatisfying way. I hope Gaslight District doesn't fall victim to the bad pacing bug that Glitch's shows seem to get. They need to stop biting off more than they can chew, one quality project at a time with their small team is better than a bunch of rushed 8 episode series.

File: internecioncube transformatio n.webm (2.3 MB)

>>154108442
Murder Drones ending was fine. It is correct that the newer Glitch shows seem to be trending on being around 8 episodes. We'll have to see with Gaslight, KoG and Gameoverse to be sure. We don't actually know whether it's just Glitch's production model or whether the showrunners infact do just want to limit the shows to these lengths.

I wouldn't be so harsh on Liam Vickers, every unfinished thing he's done before hasn't been a fully produced series.
Lets Split Up is a practice animatic. Cliffside is a Pilot he made pretty much entirely on his own, which is what got Glitch's attention in the first place. Internecion Cube is a practice animatic series which was an early predecessor for the ideas that eventually led to Murder Drones. And Murder Drones is his first actual full series. The "Liam never finishes anything" meme is just that, a meme. Don't take it too seriously.

>>154108583
>Cliffside
I will be honest, I only discovered that the guy that did Cliffside made Murder Drones last week despite that being a bit obvious based on character designs.

i don't know if this is the right thread for this but fuck it.

can someone explain why fandoms always attract the gender-obsessed without fail? this is a genuine question. i have nothing against anyone, but this is a part of fandom culture that i genuinely don't understand despite being actively involved with it my entire life.
>inb4 autism
yeah but like, why? what is it about internet fandoms, specifically the more "tumblr-esque" ones, that attract these people? as a kid/teenager i was always just confused why no one wanted to talk about the story or characters or whatever and would rather spend all day posting gender benders, shipping, and trying to turn everything into an allegory for gayness and more recently transgenderism.

i feel like an alien or something. i can't be the only one who feels this way right? is this just what they call being a plotfag?

>>154107067
I thought Jax's facebook page had a female name on it, implying he was a transMAN. But it went by very fast and I'm not sure.

Copypasted from Possum Reviews award: "Have you ever wondered why wholesome content attracts toxic fandoms?

It's because wholesome content appeals to people who don't like to have their sensibilities challenged. They're attracted to things that are safe and inoffensive. This ensures that you end up with a bunch of easily offended, self-righteous people all in one place. There's nothing these people love more than to dogpile on someone for a mild offense or disagreement so they can show the tribe that they're "one of the good guys" by tilting at the windmill of the week.

Beware of the audience you cultivate.
"
Add to that that most of these creators made these shows for people like them and you get a toxic fandom.

>>154108583
Gameoverse is basically trying actually have a full fleshed out plot before even getting to episode 2. They ARE now trying to make something that's good for theaters, TADC was sort of an accident I don't think they were expecting it to get so popular all of a sudden

>>154109527
You should know. You're here. Gender kids have a hard time finding acceptance in the real world. Or at least they used to. So they turned to the internet. And the most active places on the internet tend to be fandom sites and forums like this.

It's not about Jax being trans. It's just another story about hurt people hurt people. I don't see anything wrong with Jax having some repressed thoughts about his or her identity, it's not central to the plot

I know TADC was probably internally greenlit before its pilot premiered (Animation takes time, you know?) but I am sure that with 2 years on the air and 400 Million views Glitch probably considered the theatrical release for the finale at some point before 2026, it's easy money, it probably costed Glitch more money to convince theater chains to have their biggest show for a limited theatrical release than to make the episode, and they probably had to spend little to no money on advertising because TADC sells itself as long as they keep their social media active.
