  • Today we got the long awaited second episode of the amazing digital circus. I loved the pilot and it ended up being the most popular indie animated show of all time. In this video i’ll give a quick synopsis, and then talk about the things i liked and disliked about it and whether or not it lives up to the hype.

    Here’s the thing about the ending funeral,
    the point of it was not for the audience to grieve for the clown (I already forgot his name), the point was to use the funeral setting for Pomni to realise that if she does get abstracted, people will care.
    In the beginning of the episode as she falls in her nightmare, dream Jax & Ragatha (and Cane) pretty much dismissed her.
    Making this kind of an arc for Pomni.

    Something you don’t seem to understand is that Gummigoo’s revelation was to give Pomni a reflection of her own situation, and Kaufmo’s funeral was meant to put her fears to rest. These were done to develop Pomni and no one else.

  • @combim1449
    @combim1449 Місяць тому +118

    I've heard a lot of people mention the thing about wanting to hear what the cast said in Kaufmo's funeral, but I actually think not hearing them has a lot of meaning behind it. The scene was never meant to be about Kaufmo, it (like the episode) was about Pomni coming to understand that even if the situation they're all in is kinda shitty, what's important is the bonds they form.
    For that reason, I think it's better that we don't hear the eulogies and just focus on seeing Pomni's emotional journey at that moment. It would've been distracting, and there isn't much of a point to over-focusing on a character we'll probably never see again

    • @MR_3001
      @MR_3001 Місяць тому +17

      Agreed, I loved the funeral scene. It was probably meant for Pomni to realise that despite the terrible situation they're in, it didn't render them completely apathetic. Everyone still cared for each other, and it's amazing to watch.

    Totally don't agree with Gummy's death not being impactful. I was really hopeful he was going to be around, and found him to be introduced super well. I totally connected with him. His sudden death makes a really good point towards the episode's theme as well as setting up lots of character and world building.
    Edit: also don't agree at all with the idea that Pomni and Gummigoo's time in the test chamber should've been cut quicker. Didn't you want character development and getting to know characters? Visually it wasn't as impactful, sure, but there were lots of bone-chillingly great moments down there, and the scene where they fly up is genuinely super well handled both musically, visually and thematically.
    Also, here's the thing about Kaufmo's funeral: it's not about Kaufmo. We can't pretend the audience is going to connect with a side character who was abstracted for all the duration of the show, but through seeing how the people in the circus actually care about each other aside from playing Caine's dumb games, Pomni understands that the people around her actually care for her, and will remember her. Trying to befriend a confused npc, seeing them get killed before your eyes, and realizing that the people around you are as confused and caring as you thought they weren't seems like quite a solid second episode to lead into a more trusting and relatable set of characters. Like, it's both a learning experience for Pomni AND the viewer, where we get to understand the characters without any need to dump lore so early on.

    -I actually loved Pomni and Gummigoo's conversation. It was sincere, honest, and surprisingly heartfelt. I love it when a scene takes its time to let the characters express themselves. We got to know more about Pomni as a character, and how she feels towards others. It felt reminiscent of Buzz and Woody's conversation, in the first _Toy Story_ film, once Buzz realized he was a toy.
    -I think the glitching was meant to be "Chekov's Gun". It was introduce in the first act so it could be used towards the end (i.e. using the glitch to get launch out of the chasm).
    -I don't think Gummigoo was "killed" per say, but more "teleported back" to his home world. His copy was saved after all, and Ragatha did say that they might see him again in the near future.
    -It was nice seeing Pomni growing as a character. She realized that she's among friends in the this crazy place known as the Digital Circus, and even used her experience to help Gummigoo.
    -It was funny seeing Jax being an agent of chaos, and getting bummed once nothing exciting happened until they left. He's what you call "likably awful".
    -Kaufmo's funeral, while brief, really does show that the characters do mourn their friends once they get abstracted. Their body languages and expressions really gave a sense of how much he meant to them (even if we, as the audience, didn't get to).
    Overall, I thought it was a VERY solid episode. It had more heart and sincerity compared to the pilot, and that was very refreshing to me.

    The story was interesting and kept me guessing and reflecting long after the credits. It built the world while raising more questions. Voice cast and animation are a joy to behold and in a league of their own. Altogether I am a fan of this show!

    I think your being to critical with the glitching blocks. I’m pretty sure the point of the glitching is to show that the world isn’t stable or showing Caine can’t keep his eye on everything with stuff glitching otherwise he’d patch the items. And you know with glitches, players gets into areas they aren’t suppose to. Pomni getting into the dev room for the models is probably the start of her discovering more secrets of the circus. Items in the first episode were glitching through the floor as well.

    The glitching wasn't a "bit" it was a chekhov's gun. Pomni having it happen and noticing it, it happening too fast but remembering it, and her using it to her advantage. It's also world building cause if the game is bad enough to glitch like that, it should be consistent, not just used when it's convenient.
    Also Coughmo's death isn't important to Pomni. The funeral itself is what she was paying attention to.

    Absolutely not. I shed a tear at Gummigoo's death. I loved the pacing. I actually prefer episode 2 over episode 1. The one point I kind of agree with is the animation changing, but I think it does that because there are different animators working on different scenes.

    2:12 it feels off becuase your not used to a scene slowing down to linger on an important moment, important like a character realizing they and everything they know is fake and starting to come to terms with that... rushing that would have been a terrible idea, and im glad they showed restraint... art doesint and shouldint exlusivly catre to the dimished attention span of the adhd imparied... we can slow down take a moment to sit with a scene... and as for the faster action scenes... it makes sence action being in the name would be faster it never dips into messy or confusing. its done very well.

    I really liked this episode. It was done extremely well and glitch never disappoints. I do think some may find it disappointing just because, as a result of the extreme popularity of the pilot, expectations were set that glitch could not possibly hope to exceed because they were so high. I think that it was a great episode, a perfect mixture of sadness and hilarity, and while it wasn’t as good as the pilot, I think that TADC’s future is quite bright.

  • @aquelgamermexicano

    I think there is NO WAY the episode was going to live up to the hype, that's technically always been an issue with Indie animation on the internet, and with the rise of its popularity, it's only going to get worse.
    I remember even during the days of Newgrounds with Mario Bros. Z, Sonic Paradox and many other projects, there comes a point where the hype will become more of an obstacle than a benefit as people still sadly don't understand that animation takes time, as well as how expectations are not the best measurement for quality.
    I'm sure we'll get more details regarding Kaufmo as well as the ARG element of this show, but since those have been the main talking points, any episode that doesn't dive into that will not feel satisfying.
    I just hope that they still take their time with the episodes because no money in the world can just buy off the need for time.

    Not sure if anyone else has already commented on this yet, but I think the reason why Caine might get confused if the npcs and the cast mix, is because he himself is an ai. So if the npc(s) that he made become too self aware and more human-like, it'll make it harder for Caine to recognize and distinguish between who's 'real' and who isn't. Maybe it would even make *Caine* glitch out, break, or become faulty in some way due to his programing since he himself isn't 'real' either. Ofc that's just my personal thoughts on it, though.

Also I have never seen Jax or even Zooble so sad before and I'm happy to see Gangle smile for once and I'm happy Pomni made a new friend, which is Gummigoo even though it was short lived. Also that nightmare poor Pomni had in the beginning is really depressing.🤩🥺🎪🍭

  • @orangeinkius7257
    @orangeinkius7257 Місяць тому +2

    I think the point of Kaufmo's funeral wasn't to make you sympathize with him, but rather with Pomni. This represents her realizing that the other people she's trapped with do genuinely care about eachother, and even with Gummi dead, she's far from alone.
    This is shown by her falling into the pit and being insulted and disregarded in her nightmare in the beginning, and that being replaced in the end with the image of the other characters reaching in and pulling her out. I particularly like the contrast between nightmare Jax's line "I don't think I can even remember her name" and the entire concept of an abstracted character's funeral being to remember them.

    One thing I liked was when they found the dev room. Sure in the context of a game that would be a haha funny moment where you see what you are not supposed to. However the idea of finding a place like that in "reality" like Gummigoo did would be terrifying. Seeing yourself and everyone you know standing there like statues but also not seeing people you have memories of is some very good psychological horror.
    Also I like that Fudge was a reference to the creature from the Raggedy Ann movie.

    I feel like most of the people missed the point of this episode. The second episode focused on feeling like you're not important to anyone
    beginning of the episode: Pomni has a nightmare about how she is abstracting and others simply forget about her.
    middle of the episode: gumigoo has a breakdown when he finds out that he is just an NPC. Pomni tries to comfort him because she knows what it's like to feel worthless. She also invites him to the circus to have any friend.
    end of the episode: after caine gets rid of gumigoo, pomni thinks that she is alone again, but when she sees the other members of the circus organizing a funeral for kaufmo, she realizes that others that care about her and she is not alone
    gumigoo appeared in the show as quickly as he disappeared from it because his main goal was to provide character development for Pomni, while Kaufmo's funeral was not supposed to be just a sad scene but a lesson (for Pomni and viewers) constituting a summary of the episode - there are people that care about you, even if you think otherwise

It's another way of saying she's not nothing, as shown by the hands of her friends grabbing her as she fell down the hole. Pomni needed someone to tell her she was important after Gummigoo was killed off and proven to be disposable, and the funeral was a way to show that the other residents of the circus really do care about her, and she matters.
