The Amazing Digital Circus - Western Isekai that probably will become Hazbin Hotel killer

How the hell does he even expect to end the series with unresolved plot points and characters that were wasted?
By falling back on the classic "The unresolved plotlines are the point, chud. It's all symbolic of what the characters are going through," completely ignoring that the ending of No Mouth does actually resolve its plotlines by having Ted kill all the other characters to free them from AM, so it's just the two of them trapped forever as immobile beings who hate their lives, but who at least managed to get a final "Fuck you" in to each other.

This was a massive mistake to post in hindsight really, earlier episodes gave off the vibe that the show is going to be an ensemble cast with Pomni as our "Audience Surrogate" MC, and this post ensured the audience to that idea that no one will be underused, but the show became more Jax-centric by episode 5 onwards, which started complaints that other characters are getting shafted, which resulted in that interview where he finally clarifies Pomni and Jax are the main stars, resulting in even more drama when they realize he was actually just lying to them earlier.

Also, love that "5 - Ragatha", when she was like the third most important character in that episode after Pomni and Jax.

are there any plotlines that are going to be unresolved at this point, it seems there are only two of them, Cast vs Caine, and Cast vs Jax, and all the lingering character arcs besides Jax has been 100% solved, no matter how haphazard it was done.
 
Episode 5 made me want to shout at the screen to get on with it with how Goose damn near wasted half of the runtime on gags and that trippy little animation sequence, which while pretty contributed nothing to the story.
There is zero fucking excuse for Jax's dream sequence in E7 to be an entire minute and forty seconds, much less in 60fps. They could have easily cut that in half or even to a third and had the episode shipped out several weeks sooner.
Look at that jump in the progress bar to the end of the segment from how many people just skip past it.

But then, what was the point of Pomni? If she's going to get sidelined in favor of Jax why didn't Goose made him the protagonist from the very beginning? If he's going to cry about not meeting fan expectations then TADC should have stayed a slightly dark comedy if he knew he couldn't deliver on the character drama.
To piggyback off what others said, marketing. When the show first came out everyone and his mother drew Pomni. As much as I want to say that she could be nix’d in favor of Jax being the new/“introductory” character, there’s no question that a sad, scared clown with a basic color scheme has more appeal than Dark Max.

The Amazing Digital Circus does not know how to manage its own cast, and the fact that there are only two episodes left just further shows Gooswrox's inability to plan ahead in time.

I’ll be blunt, he’s going to pull a cop out. Either some variation of “oOoOo they really are in a simulation there’s no escape OoOoO” or he’ll sacrifice some to “free” the others. Taking column A over column B.

While this drama is all the product of concentrated autism, it's honestly restored the minuscule amount of faith I have in fans. I'm so used to people slavishly clamoring around an IP just because it exists that seeing any level of critical assessment is a huge improvement to me.
The only reason people have kissed his amhole for so long is because he’s a composer and a troon. He’s not a lame and boring writer, with the planning and the thinking. Just piggyback off I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and add therapy and mystery box flavoring. It just works!

Here's the sad truth about many indie creators, and Goose is no exception. Most of their "stories" are just blatant vanity projects that fall apart because the creator doesn't really know how to write a story, and thus they have no sense of direction.
They have watched a lot of movies and shows, and might even read some books, but that's not enough knowledge to write a story yourself.
If anything, they treat their stories more like a blog you would find on Tumblr or Twitter.
What's worse, they can't commit to any of their ideas.
Facts. You just put down one of the biggest problems I have with these projects. It’s entirely possible to put care into your shit. Look at Zeurel and Jorge R. Gutierrez. Sure one’s relying a lot on visual storytelling and callbacks (don’t get me wrong, animation is obviously a visual medium, I’m just saying he’s leveraging it a lot), and the other actually has show creation/writing experience. But it’s possible. It can be done.

I really have to wonder how much, if any, of indie projects are written out in their entirety, go through an editorial process, and are subsequently redrafted. So often it feels like they're just making shit up as they go along. IIRC allegedly Goose wrote the entire plot out ahead of time, but him deliberately going out of his way to fuck with fan theories indicates otherwise.
 
He's the guy behind Monkey Wrench right?, I found his show boring and dropped it after the 1st episode, and saw him then lowkey e-beg online for other people to watch his show when it didn't get as popular as he would have liked.
It picked up a lot in Episode 5. Not to get off topic but there’s an actual human character and they used exposition, details like “No Terran” signs and the human’s obscured face in 3(?), even some color theory to make it so that the backstory affects the main story. They also: fractured the main characters’ relationship, actually revealed what the cargo was and why it mattered, showed what the main characters were thinking about with signs at this hospital instead of using expository dialogue, and at this point they’re stranded in the Not-Necron Zone with one of them unconscious. Some of it is basic on paper and relies on being sci-fi rather than a regular comedy, but honestly they’re actually delivering, which is a plus.

I think a lot of it is pantsing, but also an overcorrection from the days when suits had the final say in everything. While I don’t know why he’d want to fuck with fan theories, that raises the question of what he’s actually trying to say in general.

Also, Gooseworx is crashing the fuck out

seems a lot of people actually went mad after hearing they might not get what they want in terms of character development
This kind of shit always happens when a showrunner/developer is a tranny. At one point or another, they'll get their feelings hurt by random idiots on the internet, because trannies have the most fragile, flaky, thin skin imaginable, they'll self-destruct and ruin the show and all goodwill they had built up as a whole right near the end.

Goose could've ended up as the internet equivalent of Gennedy Tartakovsky, since his work ended up putting Glitch on the map as the new mecca for indie cartoons, but more likely than not he'll end up like Lord Bung of SCP Confinement infamy.

The more famous Goose has gotten, the more his lolcow qualities start to leak out, like being more unnecessarily open about sexual shit:

It's like a weird form of exhibitionism, a bigger audience means more eyes to see your humiliate yourself, but also accept it since you're making a show they like.

This crashout is so unwarranted, just ignore the critics on Reddit and make the fucking show. You're nearing the end, why freak out now?
1771800508978.png
Enjoying anything made by a transgender creator is like a hostage situation with a hair-trigger timebomb, if you make them even slightly upset, everything goes boom. That's why everyone on Twitter, Reddit and anywhere else is writing heartfelt letters to Gooseworx to try and calm him down in the hopes that their favorite show might be spared from the crashout.

A lot of Digital Circus's fanbase skews on the younger side, so it makes more sense as to why they're so parasocially invested in the author's emotions.

I know this post is long but Vivziepop also started running her mouth:

Gotta throw in a bit of that gender affirmation in there. Vivzie has the same problem Goose does, both of them are FAR too involved in stupid fandom discourse drama, which ends up causing them to lose their minds and lash out.

There's a reason why an indie creator like Toby Fox gets invited to the Big Boys table in Japan with Masahiro Sakurai and Yoko Taro, he's been smart enough to spend 11 years avoiding drama by refusing to directly interact with his fanbase.

Here’s coopers old da, before he troon’d out he was into tftg shit

You're telling me that a neurodivergent tranny was originally a male neurodivergent virgin with a fetish for TFTG? What a fucking surprise!

What a shame.

Also cow crossover spotted.

I said this before in the Nux Taku thread, but the new thing is to try to get ahead of any criticism about your degeneracy by being as open and proud of your degeneracy as possible.
Similar to how progressives turned whores into "sex workers" and pedos into "MAPs," they try to make their fetishes part of their identity to the point that it's normalized.
YMS was way ahead of the curve on this shit with his furry/bestiality takes.

But umm??????? We have pedophiles in office??????? Because I say so??????? It doesn’t matter that these online communities are cesspits full of groomers and pedophiles??????????? Just don’t say anything about the deranged troon writing one-handed???????????

If only these people spent less time throwing tantrums on Twitter and more time actually writing a fucking story. Maybe then they’d get the asspats they so desperately want.

For as shit as Goose's attempt at a female voice is, he sure nails being as whiny and narcissistic as a genuine femoid.

Thought a little more about this. On one hand, I always had a feeling that he’d throw a fit like this, because troons inevitably pull BPD shit. It makes me want to be a fly on the wall in Glitch’s offices and see what they truly think about all of it. On the other, flailing about near the finish line is a really big problem, and I want to know what goes through people’s heads when they do this shit.

I'm more curious over what Glitch's plan is in general. TADC is easily their most popular show, their other pilots have been decently popular but nowhere near to the same scale. As is, Glitch has become THE sacred cow of indie online animation, and TADC's sheer popularity will probably carry the show from inertia alone even if it's last couple of episodes are duds. I'm curious how they've arranged who gets the rights to the show, if Glitch entirely possesses them I have to wonder if they'll try to brute force a second season with or without Goose's involvement in the event that their other endeavors don't work out.
Goose took some estrogen and calmed down

I'm starting to resent this fandom and it's borderline helluva boss tier self gaslighting they're having now with the whole "Jax was always obviously the main character and only toxic media iliterates couldn't tell" narrative.

1771806052841.png


What does this retard mean the attention "through the entire show".

Episode 1: This is the pilot and it's about pomni meeting everyone and has a conflict with ragatha. Jax is a funny asshole who runs away from kaufmo but not notably important. Zooble is barely here.

Episode 2: This episode is about pomni and gumigoo, with ragatha being more tied to pomni here. Jax is a jerk who creates some trouble in the adventure and looks upset at kaufmo's funeral. Ragatha wants to reconcile. Zooble isn't even here.

episode 3: This is kinger and pomni episode but goose says it's zooble's cause she has some troon angst. Jax gets tied by ragatha and barely has any lines. I even checked and he has 6. Ragatha doesn't have much either.

episode 4: This is gangle's episode but it has a bit for everyone. You have ragatha drunk leaking her toxicity, jax softening a bit after being tortured and pomni meeting gumigoo.

episode 5: This is supposed to be ragatha's episode (according to goose) but this obviously about jax befriending pomni and effectively cucking ragatha. I would argue this is a very sudden shift in direction. I understand ragatha trauma dumping but this episode confirms jax is just a cool funny guy who was to traumatized to give anyone a chance to be his friend again.

episode 6: This is jax and pomni break up episode, with some ragatha angst and zooble/gangle going full gaybait. This episode makes jax a complete victim trying to protect others from himself and having totally realistic panic attacks.

episode 7: This is the "all the lore i set up was a prank fuck you" episode and this is by this point i concede that Jax has indeniably overtaken the main cast, maybe not in importance but definitely in writing push. Jax didn't have waste 2 minutes in a dream sequence, be the one to steal the key or have that mental breakdown at caine, but it HAS to be him because it's HIS show now. Everyone has trauma but Jax's trauma is the one that will matter most.

So like, from episode 1-4 there is absolutely no pretense that Jax is the "main character", that is undeniably pomni alone. So these people are already wrong but even if we take the whole show into account, the idea that it's only jax+pomni is absurd. If you asked any of thsoe people 1 week ago who the protagonsits are they would all say it's jax, pomni and ragatha.

Ragatha is set up as a mirror to jax and they need each other to make sense. If TADC is a show about jax's gayass trauma and pomni "saving him", you could write out gangle, zooble or kinger but can't write out ragatha.

I think goose simply fucked it up and made ragatha important by accident. If we look at her as a whole, ragatha never actually have any "arc" at all. Her wanting to be friends with pomni was not special because "thats just how she is" and her being mean to jax was so he (the real MC) can feel SAD.

But regardless of what i think there is no intelligent discussion to be had anymore. Goose thinks the fandom is retarded and ran after being criticized once so everyone simply calls the fandom toxic and media iliterate now. Even content creators are dogpiling on them.

It's ironically enough similar in nature to what happened with the Disney SWs trilogy thanks to Ruined Johnson.

-Dude comes in and destroys the mystery boxes while shitting on the fans.
-All the other creators are stuck between whipping out the progressive defense along with the "you just don't understand the vision" defense.
