    A cool reference I noticed was when Kinger asked Zooble if she ‘experienced a game show’ after getting spat back out. This is a nod to a couple of Gooseworx’ other animations, namely Little Runmo and Elaine the Bounty Hunter, in which the main characters get eaten and have to participate in a game show to get out again. A really cool reference, and one that doesn’t feel forced or unfunny!

    Theory either Caine or a higher program knew Koufmo had "abstracted" so chose to make the next person that got stuck there a jester to replace the clown character. Notice how each character is a different type of children's show character, but only one of each, but the doors show multiples of different types, so what if when one of a type for the "cast" gets abstracted the next person that shows up is turned into their replacement (animal character for an animal character, chess for chess, 90s wacky shapes, doll, comical circus, and theater themed).

    This might be a strech, but I think this has a striking resemblence to "I have no mouth and I must scream" a group of humans are endlessly tortured by an AI until they either die or go crazy. I also noticed Ragatha's charachter is much more optimistic than all the others, which recalls that one charachter that always stayed optimistic. this might seem far fetched, and I might change my mind when new episodes come out

    I want to say this because I don't think people fully realized it yet but we've seen Jax, ragatha, and pommi react in very fitting ways to this, pomni understandably is freaking out because of this insanity, ragatha is remaining optimistic even while danger, and Jax is seemingly putting on an aggressive act and face because of how much time they've spent there. Jax is an interesting case because out of everyone else they are the most calm and orderly and suspiciously put together than the rest, Jax for the most part while they out on a mean guy act they are the most frustrated with caines antics as when the spare icon appeared, and also has a key to everyones room. Jax suspiciously is the only smiling and only really makes another emotion when grabbed in the neck. This is what I noticed

    To me, i don’t think people can actually die, as some of the promos have some of the characters still alive after being struck by blades and such, so i think all the characters prior that all had their doors X-ed out simply went mad and obstructed.
    It’d make sense everyone knows it so well, given they’ve experienced this happen to others before. And considering the cellar is chock full of corrupted eyes and figures, similar to how caufmo looked afterwards, i’d say there’s quite a lot of people in there.
    Man, this show’s got everything, humor, horror, a bit of mystery. I’d love for them to fund a full season.

      @pauljs75 8 місяців тому +3

      I think the "dying" in that world is in the old cartoons aspect, rather than the real. It's still unpleasant, but they get reformed for another go soon enough like Tom & Jerry or the old WB stuff with Bugs Bunny. Caine can probably reset or respawn them repeatedly as easy as fixing the glitching as long as their conscious stays connected to that realm. It's why Jax is so non-chalant about it, you're back again as a player soon enough. Abstraction is the thing that lead to the real losses there.

    I think it is more of a case of SOMA where the characters have been copied in, while the real life versions have exited the game long ago. Literally makes the characters situation even more dreadful, but makes sense to how Pomni couldnt "Take this headset off" because she does not have one, she IS her character. A form of copy of the user. It is also why there is nobody at the computer. Her real self is just gone, not transported into the Digital Circus, but copied in. It means, theres two of her. One that put the headset down and went home, and one stuck in the circus.
    In Soma, there is this big puzzle where you have to interrogate a piece of information from a copied man that was put into a computer. You can torture him, or make him slip out the information you need. Regardless, it is a real man but copied into a digital environment, and you can reset him every time he realises he is not in a real place. Its really horrifying to think about in many ways and I do hope ADC does something similar. The intro where the "Day after day" glitchy part makes sense, as well as a bunch of other scenes in the pilot.

    I noticed pomni is a jester and she showed up when the clown broke, we also have a queen and king chess piece so maybe there’s certain roles that and when one character breaks new humans are brought in to fill the void, it’s a digital world so even if it feels like minutes inside the world years could pass by before a new human subject is sucked in . In “I have no mouth yet I must scream “ the main character spends 2000 years just saying one sentence so there’s history for the concept of time manipulation

    Also, I find the fact they got a human for that Wackywatch video hilarious.😂

    You forgot about the Yellow Exit door and Red Exit door, The Yellow Exit door was when Pomine got a tour. However, I can't say is it different then the Red Exit door that she Enter. But from point view, I feel like the red door is will make people go corrupts and the yellow door is probably a Exit... We do know that one of the member did saw the exit, but he was corrupted afterward, it could also possible that he enter the Red door and get Corrupted instead of going mad in his room, it just a theory in my part.

    • @pallydan893

      The red one was probably a decoy created by Caine to discourage the characters from looking for an exit, you can see when Pomni insisted she saw the door Caine has his outburst and then goes into a state of deep thought for a few seconds, definitely considering how to best curb Pomni's probing

    I have a slight theory. Maybe the queen Character shown at 1:42 (Imma call her Queena) was Kingers love interest / best friend. If it is a love interest, maybe kinger never got to telll Queena how he feels. When Queena went abstract, Kinger was so distraught at losing his love interest and the trauma caused him to become the way he is. Also being here for a long time would’ve played a big part in that.

    @amohogride3739 8 місяців тому +4

    I think there is one exit designed to be working for people to leave the game, however it was bugged so it didnt work and even mess with their mind, causing people to become abstracted. The queen was probably the first to encounter this bug since she and kinger were most likely early testers of the game. Caine can fix the glitch caused by the abstracted but cannot remove the abstracted people since they are real humans, so he can only isolate them in the celler. Caine probably have no control over the buggy exit but so far i think he is a good guy because he tried to create activities to make people less bored, protecting their mental stability.
    Idk much about the christian references but if pomni is actually protrayed as jesus or the savior, then she might be the key to save everyone from the game. Somehow seems like only pomni sees the exit doors and caine didnt know about it as well(thus he tried to lie about creating them), the exit door she goes through didnt drive her abstracted but instead leads to scenes that remind her of the real world(does she work in C&A?). I predict pomni will eventually remember her objectives and free the crew from the game.

    I don't know if it's just part of the background but in the zoom-out at the end you can see two spheres in the void at 22:44 in the original video. The first is towards the middle left and the second is on the bottom slightly to the right. They aren't part of the main island and seem to be solid objects sitting in the void. Could be something like a future location they might visit. Maybe they are separate islands controlled by other people like Abel.

    I think the Mannequins could also be the so-called "NPC's" that Caine can create. You can actually see some of them throughout the episode (in the bathtub or in Caine's restaurant). Or maybe they are blank slots. I guess we'll find out in later episodes?
    4:00
    Additionally, this "doors" area looks a lot like the popular Roblox game "Doors" where you advance from room to room in an endless hallway. (Doors takes place in a hotel. However, the original version/game it's inspired by takes place in an office very similar to this one)
    4:03
    Is that a VR set right of the computer? (Could just be random tech parts. It's unclear)
    4:20
    This phone number is likely using that font that Gaster uses in Undertale (maybe?)
    5:18
    Implies that Caine is not an AI but a person who was trapped in the game too. If the Caine & Abel theory is true, maybe he was betrayed by Abel and trapped in the game but he kept his admin/game dev privileges?
