I can’t believe Jax actually abstracted like that, so quickly…He was such a big focus of the series. and then poof, gone, not a part of the end. I’m not against killing off characters or anything, I just… don’t get this one.

Like, narratively, what am I supposed to take from this? That someone avoidant and self-destructive is doomed, they can’t be redeemed? It was for nothing, whatever?

I could understand if they went something like: Even if he was doomed the whole time, the kindness shown to him was worthwhile; or, someone can’t be saved if they don’t want to save themself. The latter was implied, but not really leaned into in any satisfying or emotionally resonant way, just… implied. Pomni didn’t really even get any payoff or come-uppance for her “I can fix him” savior schtick…

Art is best when you learn something intangible about being human, and TADC had all of the elements to do that. It’s a literal “circus,” the perfect analog to being human and being with others in this big wide world! But… I don’t get the feeling they landed it.

Still, I liked it! Good episode, good ending! Not perfect, not masterful, not as good as it could’ve been… but good enough! The Jax psyche flashback parts really were phenominal, too (even if, again, there wasn’t payoff)!

I went to see The Amazing Digital Circus: Last Act with my kid yesterday.

I just realised that the annoying AI Caine in the story is every rich techbro asshole on the planet, trapping us in their concoctions, confused why we go crazy inside them, wondering why we hate them for it, and losing their shit because ”we’re ungreatful for all the things they’ve done for us”. 😅

I just got back from the movies after watching the The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act ​ It was extremely good. I also forgot how fun it is to go see a movie with a bunch of fans when they're, y'know, actually being respectful.

I'm really hyped for Thursday, we're going to the local cinema to see the last episode of Amazing Digital Circus.

And I'm also wondering how many kids will be there despite content warnings, because the posters are cute and shiny and nobody expects psychological horror inspired by famous Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream".

so in #TheAmazingDigitalCircus, an AI sim traps humans and puts them through "fun adventures" that are actually horrible and stressful. the censor bar pictured on the right is the AI's tool to censor ppl inside the sim. his head is a chattering teeth toy but with eyes inside the teeth, and a lil tophat 

the bubble is kind of the antagonists companion/servant, but more chaotic comic relief, not evil.

Can I get a Hugh-Jackman-as-P.T.-Barnum cover of "The One Who's Running The Show" please?

"This may be the first time someone has put on Resurrection of the Daleks as a palette cleanser" - my partner.

We have just watched episode 8 of The Amazing Digital Circus.

That hit hard.

We are literally watching episode 1 of Resurrection of the Daleks so we have something less dark to watch before going to bed.

Since I don't feel like doing my admin and walks due to my cold, I guess I just had to finish this today, huh.  
The image is a spoiler for episode 8 of #amazingdigitalcircus but can be appreciated by anyone, I am sure.
