Kinger strikes me as the kind of character who says nonsensical things but when you look back on the series after it ends you realize it was all foreshadowing
Kinger is the following 1. One of the first characters to show kindness to Pomni besides Ragatha 2. Seems to be close with Gangle 3. Quite knowledgable about how the digital world works 4. Buggy ass model likely because its code is pretty old
His model is notably easier to animate/simulate than the others, too. No limbs, no expressive facial features. Combine that with the floating VR hands and it seems like he's using a beta avatar or something.
I can't help but notice Kinger and Gangle seem to get along with each other really well, Kinger apologizes for screaming when startled, Gangle reminds him why they're at the hole and he says "Thanks for the recap", they immediately start a round of rock-paper-scissors to rescue Zooble. They're even sitting next to each other at the dinner table at the end.
Kinda depressing when you consider the crossed out queen door that could be a friend/wife from his original life before the carnival, so he takes his possible abstraction as a compliment because he wants to see her again, in whatever form she's in now
@@MixedContentz012 Because it's stealing the content, rather than going back to watch the vid again to give it more views, you'll watch this one. It's not the same as a show on TV that isn't as easy to access.
1:28 The way Kinger calls it "The Zooble Hole" like she owns it just because shes SOMEWHAT in there. I love Kinger. He's stupid in the best way possible.
@@LuznoLindoI saw a really interesting theory that he used to be a play tester for the Circus in his previous life, which explains both his knowledge of the digital world and his obsession with "insect collections". It's just a screwy way of describing a *computer bug,* something he was supposed to report in his old job. It would also line up perfectly with him being the oldest one there.
Kinger for me has a bunch of Rayman 1-2 energy. Detached limbs; huge eyes; hyperexpression. And you know what's funny; there's a chess-based boss in Rayman Redemption.
Kinger seems to know a lot. It’s just hard to access under an intensely short attention span, paranoia (that may be justified-) and relative detachment from the world around him.
2:58 I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talking about this line, it's one of my favorite lines from the whole pilot. Without context it seems like just another one of Kinger's random nonsensical questions, but it's also a reference to some of Gooseworx's animations (namely Little Runmo and Elain the Bounty Hunter) where a character gets eaten and has to play a gameshow in the stomach.
It's probably my favorite joke in the episode, and an excellent example of how to do referential comedy. A lot of people think that simply referencing something will be funny, but if you don't get the reference the joke falls flat. Here, the joke is funny on its own and the reference is a damn good bonus for people familiar with Gooseworx's animations
It’s mainly because most of the people watching are from Glitch productions and not from Gooseworx like I was, and because a lot of the fanbase for Glitch are young enough to have never seen Runmo
so we all agree right... he made the digital circus: blabbering about a insect collection is a vague memory of the bugs on the game, royal imagery alluding to a form of administrative power, he is the one to explains things related to the digital world, he being the oldest as in he was testing the headset -the mental state of the avarege game developer- everything lines up perfectly
Damnit, that theory has so many strong points to rely on that it has been one of my first headcanons ( well if It turns out to actually be part of the plot that is )
Read I must scream and have no mouth. It explains this entire show and how it ends. They all die to escape but only one can't and gets stuck there as the AMs personal toy to beat on and torture for all eternity.
I like how if anyone hadn’t watched the pilot, they might still grasp most of the story by watching just this video. There’d be big holes, but a lot of the context is there.
Fun fact: you could see that Kinger most likely had a wife/gf. During the seen where they check up on Caufmo you can see a Queen chess piece on one of the doors
"do you want to come with us?" "No, not really" huge mood there kinger love you My favorite recurring gag is kinger being startled by people- that plus the cut off scream is very funny.
It takes him like a full second to register that Gangle is standing next to him and THEN he gets startled. The man is literally severely lagging constantly.
@dr.altoclef9255 it wasn't until I read this that I realized he really is just lagging. He's been in there the longest so obviously his model is from an earlier build which is why his animations glitch out and his code is less efficient so it takes longer for his programming to process information.
@@declanmckenna6854 So as far as he knows that spot was empty and then BOOM suddenly Gangle. He also takes time to notice Jax (Gangle hears him running and turns before he even says the line, but Kinger doesn’t notice or acknowledge Jax until he finishes speaking).
Ragatha mentions that their rooms are ment to mentally rest (something kaufmo didn't) I think king didn't go abstract because when he is alone he just chills in a pillow fort, keeping him mentally "stable"
I assume that his coping mechanism is dissociation, he’s basically in his own mind most of the time to escape reality which is why he gets surprised when people next to him starts speaking. He also hides in his pillow fort where outside stimuli won’t reach him and he can further enter into his own mental place. There is no need for existential dread if you just lock yourself away from reality.
I think it's also because going insane isn't necessarily the only thing that causes abstraction. Remember Zooble's of how they couldn't believe Kaufmo gave up like that? I think there are different factors that can cause abstraction, in this case, giving up on everything. Kaufmo went insane after giving up on everything which came after him trying to find the exit. As for Kinger, while he's definitely not mentally stable, he hasn't given up on everything like Kaufmo did which probably explains why he hasn't abstracted yet.
I feel like abstraction has to do with despair, especially. While completely off his gourd Kinger seems to have coping mechanisms and gets his feelings out.
Kinger and Gangle seem to be my favorites so far, I don’t know how to describe it but the rest feel like they are trying too hard to be a certain role (Caine is excused). The two feel like genuine characters having genuine reactions to different situations.
Omg someone put it into words. I agree, but I think it's probably just because it's the pilot. I'm excited to see these characters get fleshed out more!
kinger may or may not be the most mentally stable but he is handling his mental stability really well he doesnt bottle it up like ragatha and allows himself to experience whats happening while not being real emotional like dangle and he doesnt take his frustration out on others like jax and zooble do and he doesnt try to deny reality like pomni does
I have a theory that linger is actually the created of the circus, he’s got more knowledge than he should and he’s one of the only 2 people who became chess pieces, most take on a circus or sock puppet esq creation, not to mention several times he foreshadowed what would come next, insect collection being the nest, and coughmo abstracting being him going insane. He’s also the only one with obscure outside knowledge, sure they all know their trapped, but only pomni mentioned the head set, but kninger fully referenced runmo, game show in the stomach. Back to his chess appearance while yes it is a toy, I find it odd that it’s specifically a king and queen chess piece, no pawns or knights or bishops, just king and queen, with Pomni being the first to take a full jester appearance. Basically linger created the circus, as of now no clue why, but I’d bet that pomni has some connection to him
"Well it's good to know he hasn't completely lost his mind." *gets knocked into the Zooble Hole by a bowling ball* made me laugh way too hard for some reason.
Comparing all the characters to d&d because why not. -Kinger the wise old wizard of the group with a deep pool of knowledge. -Gangel the sweet but ultimately reserved artificer, just as concerned with protecting her facemask as well as her team. -Ragady, cleric, wanted to ease pomni into the world gently and can take a betting when it counts. -zoobil she might have an anger problem with a hands on approach to things that annoy her, perfect for a barbarian! -Jax clearly a rogue type with a selfish streak. He even demonstrated lockpicking I mean come on. -Pomni, talkative, introspective, and colorful. Being the main character at center stage means your born to be a Bard.
If you give a character bug eyes, mental illness and a fun voice there's a big chance they'll be a hit (I love Kinger sm he's such a funky guy who screams a lot)
Kinger *IS* one of the most mentally stable characters due to also being the most oblivious to the situation. Can’t go mad and be abstracted, if already away with the fairies and daydreaming.
it’s funny that I’ve seen nobody talk about what he says at 2:59 “You didn’t experience a game show in there, did you?” silly little reference to runmo
In chess, slaying the opponent king is your goal. Defending your king requires strategy and positioning. The reason Kinger gets easily scared because he is a king without pawns, I think the real him put on that headset is was scared for the outside world and wanted escapism.
Also one of the crossed out rooms has a black queen on it. He probably came with a partner, but they abstracted. He is also the only one to talk about how the food isn’t real. He probably went insane and accepted how it’s digital.
Kinger somehow endeared himself to me with only a little bit of time. Poor guy seems to be caught between being a constant nervous wreck and dementia. I cracked up laughing when he ‘grabbed Zooble’ and just stopped… oh…
Hes crazy because he saw someone very close to him turn into a abstract and get put in the basement, possibly even jumping in after her and seeing the horrors within before being yoinked back up. You can see for a few frames while they're in the hallway that there was a queen piece that was crossed out.
So what if being « abstracted » is just a darker way to say That someone committed suicide in the game I mean we don’t know if we can « Die » in the digital circus If there’s a Queen piece in the game there’s might be chance that this character was Kinger’s Wife and probably witness her « getting abstracted » which can be one of the reasons why he’s hiding under his impenetrable fortress (Like he calls it) because he might be grieving the loss of her and might want some time alone to recover!
I’ve noticed no one seems to be talking about the quote of experiencing a game show which is a reference to a thing that happens multiple times in gooseworks previous animations
You can tell that kinger is insane. He’s always hunched over, he has slow reaction time, short memory, and hears things which were never said and is also always paranoid to the point of hiding most the time in a pillow fortress. Feel bad ngl
My first interaction with the show was my friend showing me a snippet of Kinger because and i quote "i think he'll be your favorite character" Now i know why, not only did i immediately recognize the voice as one of my favorite fictional characters (Rean Schwarzer btw) but after i decided to watch the show by his request, Kingers outright zany and wild personality immediately became the funniest thing about the whole show. We need more Kinger in our lives.
Jax: -two most mentally stable characters to be paired together.

Kinger is my 3rd favourite
Kinger my most liked out of all of them and I have no idea why lol

Kinger is the best
I agree
Kinger is the following
1. One of the first characters to show kindness to Pomni besides Ragatha
2. Seems to be close with Gangle
3. Quite knowledgable about how the digital world works
4. Buggy ass model likely because its code is pretty old
He could just be pretty friendly in general outside of being out of his mind
His model is notably easier to animate/simulate than the others, too. No limbs, no expressive facial features. Combine that with the floating VR hands and it seems like he's using a beta avatar or something.
And he’s been in the circus the longest without abstracting
Also the oldest character, and based on the crossed out doors in one scene there may have been a chess queen character too
Also: "insect collection" could likely refer to looking for software bugs.
I can't help but notice Kinger and Gangle seem to get along with each other really well, Kinger apologizes for screaming when startled, Gangle reminds him why they're at the hole and he says "Thanks for the recap", they immediately start a round of rock-paper-scissors to rescue Zooble.

-Kinger the wise old wizard of the group with a deep pool of knowledge.
-Gangel the sweet but ultimately reserved artificer, just as concerned with protecting her facemask as well as her team.
-Ragady, cleric, wanted to ease pomni into the world gently and can take a betting when it counts.
-zoobil she might have an anger problem with a hands on approach to things that annoy her, perfect for a barbarian!
-Jax clearly a rogue type with a selfish streak. He even demonstrated lockpicking I mean come on.
-Pomni, talkative, introspective, and colorful. Being the main character at center stage means your born to be a Bard.
Its actually Ragatha and Zooble
If you give a character bug eyes, mental illness and a fun voice there's a big chance they'll be a hit
(I love Kinger sm he's such a funky guy who screams a lot)
HES SUPER DUPER SILLY. I CAN TALK ABOUT HIM ALL DAY LONG. I LOVE HIS LORE SM AND HES SUCH A SILLY GOOBER :3
Agree :3
I JUST got the reference at 3:00. What Kinger says here is a reference to the Gastral Giveaway in Little Runmo
easily my favorite of the bunch, LOVE kinger!!!
2:04 Perfectly cut scream
1:58
FR
1:36
LMAO I LOVE HOW JAX JUST LOOKED AROUND AND THEN THREW BOWLING BALL AT KINGER
Kinger *IS* one of the most mentally stable characters due to also being the most oblivious to the situation.
Can’t go mad and be abstracted, if already away with the fairies and daydreaming.
it’s funny that I’ve seen nobody talk about what he says at 2:59 “You didn’t experience a game show in there, did you?”
silly little reference to runmo
Best character.. btw anyone else reminded of double king or just me?
Ooooohhh, now that you mention it...
Yeah holy shit, they have a lot in common, the big bulging eyes, the detached hands and the sense of chaotic energy when both are on screen
NOT THE DOUBLE KING💀
Kinger has got to be one of the easiest characters to animate in all of 3D animation.
i do like kinger, hes always scared just like me but is also pretty nice plus his design is very good
In chess, slaying the opponent king is your goal. Defending your king requires strategy and positioning.
The reason Kinger gets easily scared because he is a king without pawns, I think the real him put on that headset is was scared for the outside world and wanted escapism.
He’s just like me fr.
Best character imo. I love how he's so awkward and silly kinda relate to him
I've only known Kinger for 30 minutes, but I would defend him with my LIFE
Also one of the crossed out rooms has a black queen on it.
He probably came with a partner, but they abstracted.
He is also the only one to talk about how the food isn’t real.
He probably went insane and accepted how it’s digital.
Kinger somehow endeared himself to me with only a little bit of time.
Poor guy seems to be caught between being a constant nervous wreck and dementia.
I cracked up laughing when he ‘grabbed Zooble’ and just stopped… oh…
He also seems to be highly intelligent and understands quite a bit, but his ability to access this is fairly situational.
3:37 You going to Brazil!
Hes crazy because he saw someone very close to him turn into a abstract and get put in the basement, possibly even jumping in after her and seeing the horrors within before being yoinked back up. You can see for a few frames while they're in the hallway that there was a queen piece that was crossed out.
So what if being « abstracted » is just a darker way to say That someone committed suicide in the game I mean we don’t know if we can « Die » in the digital circus
If there’s a Queen piece in the game there’s might be chance that this character was Kinger’s Wife and probably witness her « getting abstracted » which can be one of the reasons why he’s hiding under his impenetrable fortress (Like he calls it) because he might be grieving the loss of her and might want some time alone to recover!
As someone on tumblr pointed out, his repeated talk about an insect collection actually might be referring to…bugs.
Kinger is immune to abstracting simply because he doesn't have any marbles in that head of his to lose
Zooble - "I mean no offense kinger but I always thought you would be next."
*Kinger trying to process*
Kinger - "Thank you."
1:15 boi we not good at dis arent we?
I love how it's cut so It looks like Jax just randomly throws a bowling ball at kinger, no explanation.
2:41 me when I was confused at maths
3:14 me when I was confused how to learn algebras
I’ve noticed no one seems to be talking about the quote of experiencing a game show which is a reference to a thing that happens multiple times in gooseworks previous animations
You can tell that kinger is insane. He’s always hunched over, he has slow reaction time, short memory, and hears things which were never said and is also always paranoid to the point of hiding most the time in a pillow fortress. Feel bad ngl
My first interaction with the show was my friend showing me a snippet of Kinger because and i quote "i think he'll be your favorite character"
Now i know why, not only did i immediately recognize the voice as one of my favorite fictional characters (Rean Schwarzer btw) but after i decided to watch the show by his request, Kingers outright zany and wild personality immediately became the funniest thing about the whole show. We need more Kinger in our lives.
For some reason Kinger is a whole mood and I'm living for it
Fun fact: What Kinger says to Zooble is a reference to Gooseworx’s animation Little Runmo! The thing with a game show being in the stomach.
HOLY CRAP I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
"An insect collection?"
"I think it's a nest."
".....AHH---"
🤣🤣🤣
he’s so silly I love him sm
