[@cjkalandek996]

I think Kinger's theme would be the *Disturbed* song, _"Hold On To Memories"._ Here are some of the lyrics. _Take the ones you love_ _And hold them close because there is little time_ _And don't let it break your heart_ _I know it feels hopeless sometimes_ _But they're never really gone_ _As long as there's a memory in your mind_ _So now go do the best things in life_ _Take a bite of this world while you can_ _Make the most of the rest of your life_ _Make a ride of this world while you can_ _And hold on to memories_ _Hold on to every moment_ _To keep them alive_ _The world's greatest tragedy_ _Souls who are not remembered_ _Cannot survive_

I think that when the monster came and kinger started staring at it, he might have thought it looked like his wife. The rings sort of look liked his abstracted wife.

[@squidwardnosewarts]

Dude thats what I’m thinking I think he’s mesmerized by the flashing white dots because they sort of resemble how his wife looked in her abstracted form while they were in the pillow fort, i also think this is why he said “you look beautiful honey”

I think one scene that's really interesting is when Kinger and Pomni first fall down to the "hell". Kinger says "7 years of computer science for this, huh?" which basically confirms that Kinger was a developer for the digital circus

[@Ovotun]

@@somdudewillson honestly a lot more logical imo. I like to think that all the characters were not part of the development for digital circus, and just found a headset that included the game from somewhere

[@zimTheDragonOwner]

I believe Kinger created the digital circus making Caine an ai ringmaster here he got his friends (all before zooble ragatha pomni jax and gangle) to try it out but him first with him and his wife after feeling like it was a success tried taking the head set off though he couldn’t realising everyone would get stuck as well and he couldn’t shut down the game and now everyone’s corpse’s were just rotting away while they play the game just from their souls besides obviously the newer members and yeah that’s my theory

I love how kinger is basically setting up jax to be the villan cuz of ''the worst thing someone can do here is make someone feel not wanted or loved''

[@Leonagraphy]

Maybe not a villain per se, but I feel like it’s definitely foreshadowing that he’s going to do SOMETHING terrible, maybe even leading to someone abstracting. How he’s going to react to the consequences will probably be fascinating.

​@@lethalethan07 my guess is he'll make ragatha abstract since (in my opinion) she seems the most likely to abstract since she bottles up her emotions and constantly tries to be overly upbeat all the time, speaking from personal experience I know that will only lead to a mental breakdown sooner or later

[@Cheese-Slime-Sheriff]

I always saw kinger as dissociative, especially after this episode. He went through so many horrors and stress that he created this alter ego so that the real him could have some semblance of a break. When he’s in the dark, such as in his pillow fort, he goes back to normal, but when he’s in front of a crowd or in a bright area, he switches back to the crazy old man to get away

While an older kid like 10 or 12 would have no problem with this episode (at least it's no worse than scary stuff from the 80s and 90s), parents let thier preschoolers on KZbin kids without direct supervision because it's supposed to be child friendly stuff, and this is not something a 4 year old should see without preparation.

One thing you didn't mention that is great foreshadowing within the episode. Kinger says something pretty weird when the Monster's about to eat him and it has all those flashing lights. I think he said. "You're beautiful, Honey." it really sets up for when he tells Pomni about the last moment he had with his wife after she abstracted.

[@FlipMyster]

Kinger has always been my favourite character. I loved his silliness in the previous Episodes, and ever since we saw the door featuring Queenie (his wife) with a large X over her face, I knew that in Kinger's episode she would be brought up. I was so excited to see what they woulf do. I went into this Episode expecting a good backstory, and came out with an even better one - i'd even say amazing.

I hope Zooble gets an episode really diving more into their emotional state because he reminds me of the attitude I had before transitioning when I was just kind of wallowing in gender dysphoria all the time. Also I know people criticize Digital Circus for unwittingly becoming super popular with kids but like… that doesn’t make it a “kids’ show” or mean Glitch needs to change anything about it. Kids have taste and they will gravitate towards things they find appealing just like everyone else, so to dumb it down to “appeal to them more” would be totally counterproductive.

I love how his quirks and personality was always consistent since the pilot. His impenetrable fortress, mentioning an insect collection, his brief remembering right after his fortress is stolen and his short memory joke. Such as screaming at realizing they are there when they were the whole time. All of this was part of his backstory. You even see his wife's door crossed over when they pass through the hall of their rooms.

I think Kinger's behavior is like a defense mechanism, he lets it all out and be goofy, an airhead, abd crazy to not descent himself into madness, and also the darkness calms him down and he became his old self again.

[@coolchannelat]

The fact that this show keeps getting better and better has me very excited to see what happens next, I’m glad it hasn’t been like Hazbin Hotel so far where the pilot is really good and has great concepts that don’t get expanded on in a well-written manor for literally every episode after. Not that the episodes after the pilot of Hazbin Hotel are bad, but they’re not good either imo. The songs also add nothing to the story, and usually just repeat everything you already know without adding any insight to character development, the characters motivations, exposition, etc. literally all the songs do is restate the obvious and they’re not even good. The pilot genuinely is the best episode of the series, and it had very good potential imo it just didn’t live up to said potential

[@BlueSoulGamer]

I have a theory that’s a bit crazy, but I think Jax is going to abstract in one of the later episodes. Think about it, the people who abstracted allegedly were isolated, gave up, and were driven to insanity. Jax is shown isolating himself from the main group at the end of episodes 2 and 3, and he is clearly hopeless in episode 1 when he states several times there’s no way out. All that’s left is for him is to be driven insane, and he’s abstracted. Maybe pomni will save him before he fully abstracts, but it ain’t looking good for him.

I don't agree that this is a message about masking, Kinger as no reason to want or need to hide his true self from others. this is a very direct message about people who struggle with memory loss and insanity, and shows that they are still people even if they're not always themselves or can't be "cured". kinger was a gentle and caring person before he lost his mind, and he's still that person deep down, he just isn't connected to the same reality anymore. there was ways to ground him temporarily, but it's not something that the crew can fix. but even if he can't remember the important memories and acts crazy sometimes, he's still someone worthy of love.

Kinger was always my favourite character from the circus when it started, I somewhat knew there was more to him than meets the eye, and I can't believe I was right.

[@Al_X-2005]

Kinger has quickly become my favorite character. In this episode you can get a better glimpse at who Kinger used to be, presumably a goofy yet genuine guy with a passion for computer science. I like the cute detail of him hating computer bugs but end up becoming fascinated with real bugs because of his wife. His goofier side was probably developed as a coping mechanism and the truama of losing his wife and being in the circus for so long affected his memory, but I feel like Kinger always knows who he is and know matter what wants to be there for his friends, its just that the dark makes him think more clearly and brings him back to an older state of mind

[@jakr3597]

[@14thdoctor37]

Tape guy describes himself becoming jumpy before accidentally killing his wife. my first thought was how it reminded me of kinger's jumpiness. combined with the "hows your wife?" line and kinger's inability to remember how he ended up in the fort with his then newly abstracted wife. Chat I think its an allegory for kinger accidentally causing his wife to abstract. also jax doesnt even know what his breath hold quirk is because he hasnt even tried because hes a coward

[@MichaelW-PK]

I think Kinger made the circus. think about it, Jax says in episode 1 he has been there the longest, Kinger says in episode 3 he was a computer engineer for 7 years, and he AND his wife were in the circus which is odd when you think about how the others got in. And no they probably didn't get married after they got stuck there because if you look in episode one as they are walking through the hall she is on a door and she looks like Kinger.

I heard rumors of Kinger having a wife in the fandom, I know the main writer gooseworx info dumps sometimes on her tumblr, but when possessed Pomni straight up just asked, "how's your wife kinger?" my jaw dropped. I actually shed a tear watching this episode because of the truth it's trying to convey. With shows like Amazing Digital Circus (not like popular animated shows but more like shows that have a depressing setting like the zombie apocalypse or psychologically horrific situations) I have a hard time finding shows that show hope and healing and real personification of their main characters instead of just using them as just depicting how terrible their lives are. With Amazing Digital Circus I really liked the premise, and was a fan of Goosewrox before this series really took off, but I am really glad they are not afraid to keep going with humanizing their characters. I loved Kinger in this episode but even characters like Zooble's self insecurity being revealed in reflection of Caine's insecurity in Zooble not liking his adventurers getting explored more in the B plot of this episode too really set this to be my favorite episode so far too. And the fact Pomni didn't end the episode totally traumatized by the end of the adventure is a huge tone shift that keeps the show fresh and not just playing the same note again but allowing it's self to evolve past the main hook and actually being a medium of legitimate and good story telling. Hope in crappy situations is necessary to get through them, and without it stories like this just don't work and end up feeling like a slog fest. I'm exited to see what they do in the future.
