This fits Caine and Pomni so well. Caine doesn't know how humans work so Pomni is willing to help him to understand. I think that's really helpful.

[@Shtickyaight]

Yea pomni is a coward but she's very courageous

[@cyanado2697]

From seeing this , I have a theory that Pomni will help Caine create an exit and finish the game, given she is from the real world, she could teach him how humans and reality work, giving him the knowledge he needs

[@paytonflicop3144]

Hmm? Is that could be possible?

[@Funclassic02]

I hope this will happen someday in my opinion

[@Mike14264]

I kinda love how Pomni drags Caine by the foot and he's like... k, am balloon.

[@samanthakelly718]

On Twitter, Gooseworx explains Caine's character like this: "I figure I should mention that Caine isn't really evil, he's just kind of oblivious. He has a hard time understanding humans, but he tries his best. Even if his best ends up turning Pomni and the others into knife pincushions." I kinda like that idea for a villain, hell I'd even argue it's a more accurate depiction of AI than most "bad guy AI" stories. AI's purpose is to somewhat assist people, it'd make sense that one's still trying to do that but doesn't have the humanity to understand people.

[@lucaschannel726]

I am so glad that even gooseworx herself agrees Caine ain’t no villain. He’s a antagonist who unaware what he’s doing is hurtful

[@Brutalyte616]

It really does always come back to Caine not understanding humans. Nobody is any real physical danger from any of the hijinks he puts them through, but because of that he doesn't understand how mentally damaging the illusion of danger can be and how poorly equipped the human brain is to deal with that; to Caine, they're just games meant to entertain and distract, so he doesn't understand how they can be psychologically harmful. Furthermore, because he can't wave his hand to fix somebody's mind and he doesn't understand humans enough to be a proper therapist, he can't recognize the signs of mental distress unless somebody flat out tells him or figures out how to treat them, and rather than trying to figure out how to deal with the problem he fixates on causing distractions to alleviate the symptoms instead. And the worst part about it all is that Caine probably knows all of this, but because he's just following his programming, he can't really care about what he's doing wrong or try and take steps to deal with it because he lacks genuine feelings of shame or guilt, as well as the imagination and lateral thinking ability to come up with any truly innovative solutions. Case in point? He doesn't know how to deal with Abstractions, so he just dumps them into the basement with no regard to the complications that could cause long-term.

[@Shtickyaight]

Yea he's an AI not a sentient AI Also if the game glitches and they (the abstracted) get out then what are they gonna do

[@Brutalyte616]

@@Shtickyaight No, he is sentient, or at least close enough that the discrepancy really doesn't matter, as he displays emotional responses, self-awareness, and a capacity to learn and adapt. The problem is that he's still a program, so he doesn't really understand human emotion or psychology, and as an AI program he doesn't feel the pressing emotional need to improve his system because the risk to his charges is negligible and they can more or less deal with their own mental problems if they're kept sufficiently entertained and are able to talk with him or the other people trapped in the circus on the regular.

[@JoannaLi-of7ie]

@@Brutalyte616bro is an ai

[@bing_crystal4831]

That makes sense, especially since in the episode he said “One of the things I don’t have control over are your minds.” I know it was in a different context, but still feel like it was worth pointing out. Personally, even though I feel like Caine isn’t really good, I don’t think he’s necessarily evil. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

I love this cause it makes sense caine whole thing is to try to make people enjoy being in the TADC but because hes a AI of course he wouldnt know how to do it right hes not malicious just misguided I love that hes willing to try to get better and that he sees that yes he wasnt the best at his job

[@Shtickyaight]

Yes

[@samanthakelly718]

I remember thinking he was evil until he brought up he tried to make an exit since everyone seemed to want one. I was like "huh. So he actually is trying to impress these people?"

[@comicfan1324]

I do like how Caine isn’t inherently evil. He legitimately is trying to do good by them, but doesn’t really understand human emotion apart from emulating programs he’s been given. As an AI inside a video game, naturally, the most entertaining thing he can think of is challenges (since people tend to enjoy challenges in video games) but the difference is those activities become way more stressful when you’re not safe behind the controller. I do have to wonder, even if his intentions are pure, what will he do if people try leaving the game? on one hand if he’s programmed to help them enjoy their time IN the game, then he’ll need them to stay to fulfill the program. But on the other hand, if it’s proven that they can’t be happy IN the game, then, perhaps he would reason that the only way to make them happiest to let them leave. it’s fascinating to think an AI would address this situation in a humanoid way.

[@saltygibus5746]

Honestly, judging by his Fake Exit plan, he's legitimately fine with giving them an out--he just doesn't know HOW one would get out.

[@xXTigerWaveXx]

You see, Caine isn’t a villain. You may consider him as the antagonist (someone or something that apposes or interferes with an adversary; most cases the main character), but he isn’t exactly evil. It’s like he’s more… uuhhh… naive is a good word for it I guess? Being an AI tends to have a certain set of rules that guide their actions. He can’t understand that what isn’t coherent to his original function. This is a reason why I think Caine has some much potential because even though he has those sets of rules, you can tell that he is willing to change in the show. He’s childish and it’s not necessarily a bad thing, he just needs to be put in a position where he can learn. This is probably one the better fan comics I’ve seen and I could totally see this as an actual scene from an episode. Props to the author/artist who came up with this. Also the voice acting is top notch and absolutely phenomenal! SPLENDID WORK SUPERSTARS!!

[@Wildash]

would that be called an anti-villian?

[@TheMetrobusEnthusiast]

This is the kind of response I've been looking for. I've seen TADC fan songs that present Caine like the villain, and this comment explains what kind of personality he actually has.

[@bing_crystal4831]

I fully agree with this. I mean he may not be a “good person,” but I don’t think he’s really a villain either. I hope they play into this idea in the series.

[@Fairy_girl982]

Gooseworx confirmed that Cain can’t understand human emotions and stuff since he is an AI

[@cubexgirl1218]

The way Caine got dragged is actually adorable. I hope gooseworx makes the dragging thingy canon and to also make caine a innocent bean! But I hope this does become canon since Caine doesn’t understand humans.

[@TheLordDyl11]

Imagine if this actually happens in the show, that would really paint Caine’s character in a whole new light

[@Haley_Studios]

0:45 the way she just drags Caine 😂

[@Songal18]

Fan-FRIPPIN-tastic job on the voices!!!!! Caine's performance was especially spot on.

[@DjCubigame010]

This is the best TADC comic I've ever seen. It has everything it needs to be added without problems in an official episode I hope Goose adds it, because if she doesn't Maybe I'm wasting a good plot.

[@UNKN0WN_3RR0R]

I want to cry. Caine is so innocent.

[@MiyaMiya11abc-ji3dq]

Yeah

[@jatuliabuteojatu]

Omg I feel the same about it. He's really trying his best😢😭

[@leonchacon7984]

When you need the Truth talk to the Janitor. As grumpy as he is... He'll let you peek in his log journal.

[@pundertalefan4391]

And there we go. This is what Gooseworx has been trying to say. No matter what he does, Caine isn't evil. He's not intending to harm anyone. He's just clueless.

[@Khsbjsutg108_]

Pomni drag Caine leg all across the room🤣🤣

[@Tinker4bell]

This comic is a breath of *FRESH. AIR.* It's a break from all the R34 Gross stuff in the Fandom. And it's nice to see some amazing Talent put to good use. I hope this comic turns into a Series. And I hope other comics like this come out.

[@Lumberjack_king]

I mean he’s trying his best trying to make a kids game be able to keep adults sane is a Herculean task

[@TwigCommenter]

Thank you for being seemingly the only tadc comic VA who doesn’t make nsfw dubs, ive watched your vids since my undertale era and im glad you havn’t fallen to that level like some others

[@TheNonameHousehold]

I hope Gooseworks makes this canon the same way Vivziepop did with 'Just look my way' 😍

[@Oceane1803]

That's what I'm thinking. Caine wants to please them. He wants them to be happy. If what he's currently doing doesn't make them happy, they should just talk about it with him, and tell him the kind of things they actually want. Since he wants to make them happy, he'll happily listen to their suggestions.

[@MB-fx6vb]

I can see this being the route the show’s going to take

[@FrostFire_2117]

Awesome job like always, keep up the work man.

Hmm I think everytime when caine was trying to make the show perfect but if they make it more better and look like a normal circus and then they all be free

[@mukemmelyorumcu7868]

I LOVE IT 😍

[@Zephyeran]

When he admitted to making more mistakes than he did right, I kind of had an itch for a different response to that, but I completely understand why Pomni said what she did. Personally, I'd clarify Caine didn't mean any harm and I could tell, but that if he didn't know, maybe we should talk more? Communication is one of the best ways to connect and understand someone after all! And while humans are complex, and he can't expect to talk to them about every little thing, I'd probably offer up myself as a guide of sorts, admitting I have faults of my own, but you can't learn without some mistakes along the way, and I'm happy to help him work through said mistakes to be the best he can be. Sure, I preach not helping someone at the detriment of yourself, but if I was stuck in the circus, I'd probably be risking it, just to make sure he could learn some and get better at this whole thing, even if it abstracts me in the process. I'd be happy to make sure there was a start to that better future for the others, y'know? Just some dumb ramblings I wanted to dump ^^"

[@aciDCXIV]

Then again, do we humans understand eachother?. Afterall, we don’t have access to eachother’s minds now do we? I’m with Caine on this one.

[@lucaschannel726]

I can actually see this as canon, Caine ain’t no villain, he’s just antagonist but not irredeemable one. He is just ai working with program that is very limited and judging from the opening look like a 90s pc game, he’s very outdated technology
