So what I understand from the ending is it cutting back to her dream sequence, all of them grab her hand. Her fear in the dream is that she’d be forgotten and not even cared about if she got abstracted. The funeral kinda puts that fear to rest, metaphorically showing that by them pulling her out from the pit

[@MichaelZimmerman-zl8zz]

I think it was everyone who was at the funeral who grabbed her. I might've missed it, but I didn't see Jax's or Caine's hands. It makes sense because it showed her that, at least those attending the funerals don't forget the Abstracted.

[@milkiassamuel780]

I really loved the scenes with Pomni and Gummy Goo, and seeing him learn the dark truth that he's just an NPC with no freedom or agency was really tragic and such an unexpected direction I didn't see the episode take. At least Pomni is slowly realising shes not alone in this mess. But of course, when Kaine sent Gummy Goo away, my jaw dropped! Seeing Pomni straight up lose more of her sanity over losing what could've been a potential friend to relate to in this virtual hell was heartbreaking I love how much of an unhinged agent of chaos Jax is in this episode

[@YoutubeAIModel]

It was honestly jaw-dropping both moments, Caine absolutely destroying the.. "NPC", and both characters having their mental breakdowns. This all just confirms that, indeed, it's just a game after all. What truly got me was Gummigoo realising his mother wasn't apart of the game's assets, he really didn't lie saying it was all false. About Jax, i'm assuming he'll probably be the second one to abstract, or third. The other worlds Caine has to show probably won't catch Jax's interests, which are about Mayhem and Chaos, this will probably make him lose it due to boredom or something else and seek REAL FUN on The Circus itself (abstracting, and then causing mayhem himself) I do really want to see Gummigoo coming back, he's my favorite character :(

[@chriskoloski32]

If caine doesnt keep the humans minds busy they could become abstracted. And since caine is part of the computer program then he wants to avoid it as much as possible

[@aquelgamermexicano]

In a way everyone is coping through the situation, and despite Caine probably being the one that knows everything regarding the game, he's still a control freak, which is expected for a ringmaster but still. I personally think falling into insanity is what causes the abstraction, and in Caine's case, he NEEDS to be in control otherwise he will abstract, which can happen if there are no players.

[@ma.2089]

@@aquelgamermexicano insanity takes different forms. But abstraction could mean the person inside is so desperate to leave the game interprets it as “oh they want out”, and starts actually destroying their information so the software can use that data elsewhere. Since the character perceives their “attributes” no longer having value, the system starts doing so too. Like a form of self death. Which begs the question, how many ppl can be living inside the circus and why does mixing up NPCs and players matter?

[@smileyhappyface5864]

@@ma.2089 I think the implication behind mixing up players with NPCs has two levels. 1: Caine could accidentally delete a human, and his horrified face makes this one the more likely one to matter here. 2: The NPCs can't abstract but they *can* actually die, so focusing on them could seriously distract him from his job and seriously fuck the humans up emotionally.

[@theodoread7126]

[@BlueGriffin20]

Yeah. Last wave of support like that I saw for an NPC was Free Guy with Ryan R.

[@electriccleric]

At the end, we see a flashback to Pomni's dream from the start. In her nightmare, the others don't even remember her name when she abstracts or "dies", so she's afraid that in this world the loss of people is so lackadaisical that noone cares, but at the end, she sees how they honor Kaufmo's "passing", and realizes that even if something happened to her, they'd remember her, so she gets a flash of the same nightmare, except this time you see the other's hands grab hers to stop her from falling, showing that they care and that in turn is stopping her from totally losing it and abstracting.

[@DmanDmythDlegend]

Interesting to note that Jax was not at the funeral. Gooseworx has said that Jax deserves to be there the most out of all of them. With this episode I now have a theory that Jax is an NPC himself pretending to be human, don’t have a lot of evidence for it but it’s a hypothetical.

[@SobiTheRobot]

He very, VERY briefly looked sad about it...he's definitely hiding something.

[@ma.2089]

Maybe he skipped out on the funeral for personal reasons. Some ppl don’t handle funerals well. And it looks like he gave Kaufmo his bowling ball so maybe there’s something to it

[@flashtyb]

A thing to note is that Caine said that he has a hard time telling NPCs and Characters apart… So who knows? Jax being the trickster he is was probably able to weasel his way in, and convince Caine and the rest that he’s just always been there

[@flashtyb]

@@ma.2089 That also makes sense… Plus his reaction to seeing Kaufmo abstracted was pretty spooked (then again, everyone was frightened by Kaufmo’s abstracted form)

[@aquelgamermexicano]

Since i saw it during the premiere's livestream (awful chat btw), a few things i noticed: -Pomni learns the colission glitch since waking up from the nightmare. -The new AI is probably the reason why Gummigoo actually reacted to the glitch and kept moving, rather than just be your common NPC, as well as why Jax was able to essentially kill everyone by changing the course of the monster, in a way that AI is going to be the excuse for why NPCs can actually be characters in this video game show. -It's more "What if Undertale met The Truman Show" with all the talk about NPC's having feelings and existentialism. It's like a darker turn on Free Guy which you guys recently watched. -As for Erick's question on who grabbed Pomni's hand at the end, it was all of them except Jax who grabbed Pomni, she was remembering her nightmare but now they save her, because she's now realizing they DO care about each other instead of just LARPing like she thought.

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

Oooooooooooh that’s some very good points!!!

[@aliyahpulido953]

12:06 Gummigoo's existential crisis begins the same way Stitch has his crisis in the first "Lilo and Stitch" movie. They both realize they don't have a past, not even memories of their childhood or their parents/family because they never had any. They spawned into existence they day they were set to create mayhem. Even worse for Gummigoo, he HAD memories of his mom being sick written into his code (by Caine) but he realized those were all fake and he didn't even have a mom. His world shattered when he realized that he and his friends were only created "to be defeated and forgotten." And unlike Stitch, he almost immediately accepted to go with his new friends/family at Pomni's invitation, BUT outside of the context he was created for, he wasn't allowed to exist.

That... or he accidentally deleted a human thinking he was an NPC. The confusion can go both ways... Since none of the humans know about that, not even Kinger who is the oldest here, that could mean this group is not the first Cain takes care of, and some people were there even before Kinger...

[@MrMnM-ed5ht]

I don’t think anyone’s really forgotten their real world human lives exactly(except maybe Kinger but he’s shown lapses of clarity),it just seems too painful for them to openly recall it since they might never return to it again or even remember their names from that life. It’s just the names that are forgotten so that new identities can be forged for them in the Digital Circus. Even Pomni mentioned in the Pilot about putting on the headset, so she still had memories of that. It might take a while but I think we’ll eventually learn everyone’s background.

[@aliyahpulido953]

9:45 This is the Utah Teapot, an in-joke in animation between animators because it was one of the first computer/digital assets ever created because it was vector practice.

First Quirky Quota and now these guys, man everybody’s been hyped for this…I mean I was hyped for this as well ^_^

[@Staticblox]

"did *I* take shrooms before this?" Great question! you'll ask that alot watching this show

[@_TheDoctor]

23:42 We see a glimmer of sad-emotion from Jax here when they mention the funeral service. I wonder if Jax is grieving over the loss of someone he was close with who abstracted and masks his feelings with aggressive/chaotic behavior.

[@supertjh]

24:44 ~ That represented her nightmare in the beginning, how she feared falling apart and being forgotten immediately, but the funeral event showed her how much everyone cared and how she trusted them to catch her if she fell. (Nothing neither Jax or Caine's hand was there, representing how she doesn't have confidence or trust in them.) Also, I'd expected it to maybe build up like a kingdom of numerous NPCs alongside the "players", so I was very taken aback by that sudden turn 😅

[@thomaswhite5122]

23:27 makes me think Jax was what Ragatha is to Pomni and bringing back a NPC is a tradition "is that allowed?" asked like before it was and before must not have been a concern till a incident happened, plus what she was saying sounded really sarcastic n had that Jax like pose but she obviously means it in a positive way

[@lyndseystrait1513]

24:37 Ok so I'm glad they asked who pulled Pomni back up. I think its Zooble, Ragatha, & Gangle's hands grabbing Pomni's. Anyways, very fun reactions! I loved that they guessed what was going to happen in the end but were still horrified. I also think its great that they encouraged people to buy the ADC merch! Great video!

[@camilasantiago1758]

I hope that if Gummigoo comes back (Which he most probably will) he doesn’t remember going into the void place but does remember his friendship with Pomni, I feel like it would drive her mad but make her happy she still has her friend

[@kingcrimsonsnumber1fan.969]

Jax is the main antagonist I'm calling it now.

[@unforeseeable2.058]

Yeah, there’s more to him than he’s letting on

[@kingcrimsonsnumber1fan.969]

@@unforeseeable2.058 agreed say he's atleast komeada

[@durratulaishah3703]

I mean the card background of Jax keychain is outside his room, but everyone else's card background are their room interior. It's an odd detail. Honestly

[@angelabryant9766]

Okay...I still love this show in terms of writing, but...yeaaaaaah, after that bitchslap of an ending, I'm tuning out. I'm tuning out in a loving way though - like it's not cause of bad writing, it's cause they wrote it well enough for me to flip the table. Like if you flipped the table over an NPC dying in a DND game, it's more a compliment to the DM then anything.

[@ariffirdaus5376]

if the depression gets even crazy worse after this i might not even touch my phone sheeshh (we all know this is psycho horror genre but still)

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

I understand that. But unfortunately I cannot escape they got me hooked 😂

[@Crocogator]

The graphic quality of this episode is EXPONENTIALLY better than the pilot. Holy shit. GLITCH knocked it out of the park with this one guys. It's so fluid and there's so many background details. RIP Gummigoo.

[@April_cheese_sandwich]

22:52 their faces was everyone's reaction to this scene 😭

[@arcticbanana66]

I'm reminded of a quote from The Good Place: "Don't worry, they're not real." "Well, they're fake people, but their _pain_ is real." The teapots are probably a reference to the Utah Teapot, but there is a hypothesis that they may also be a reference to Russel's Teapot too. 18:39 - They got those ARMA 3 vehicle physics in there.

[@ElectricLogan20]

22:59 is the exact moment Caine realizes he's on everyone's hit list for what he did. #BingBackGummigoo

[@Kohana07]

I really like how they just shade and unshaded gummiegoo’s eyes to express shock. It’s so simple but effective. ❤

[@johanstenfelt1206]

I’d say having this Episode take place just the Day after the Pilot is pretty fair, since, assuming that they do Adventures every Day, this would be Pomni’s Actual First Adventure, since she didn’t actually partake in the one meant for her when she first arrived, even though like i said she was only part of it halfway, Also, it also made the Funeral Scene at the end feel more fitting, by the way about that Scene, I find it very interesting that Jax ended up not being part of the Funeral and who he was not featured amongst the Hands that prevented Pomni’s Metaphorical Fall, now that part could just be due to him not being part of the Funeral, but considering what the Curators has said about Jax, i think it’s a detail that’s worth keeping in mind for the Future. Anyway, with all of that now being out of the way, i am now left wondering: Will every Episode take place just the Day after the Previous One or could we expect Episodes to have at least a couple of Days in between them from now on? Will Pomni get out of the Adventure and into some kind of Out of bounds moment every Episode? If so, while that would be interesting, I would appreciate to see at least one Episode where Pomni stays in the Adventure all the way through, because I don’t think we need a Out-of-Bounds Moment every time to make a Episode worthwhile. On to of that, will Pomni bond with more NPCs in one way or another and will she end up having them learn something about themselves too? I also wonder if we’ll ever get to see Loo and Gummigoo again? Now, I am aware that the Candy Canyon Kingdom was probably just meant to be for this Episode, hence why it was sent off the way it did, still I would like to see some kind of Aftermath to what Jax did. Also, i wonder if we’ll ever get to a point in time where Pomni won’t stutter all the time or at least not when it counts? If so, i will look forward to see what might lead us there. Anyway, regardless of it all, this Episode has made me even more excited to see how this Show will play out, I can’t wait for more Episodes, What do you think will happen next?

[@kirbystar7474]

3:35 Caine and bubble continue to be the best duo.

[@Meheeecan]

I love seeing the feelings an NPC can go through in games or just extras in movies or shows. They're nothing but just props

[@kaylasilverstein4137]

You just know during that whole convo starting at 15:58 she was also totally talking ABOUT herself TO herself. I am such a sucker for scenes where a character has an “aha” moment and inadvertently gives themselves their own advice by giving advice to someone ELSE with the same problem. When I saw that that’s what was about to happen I smiled so big and went “omg they’re going to do the THING”

[@mufinboi975]

Bruh the video released like almost less than an hour ago. props for getting on it quick.

[@Thesmus]

not just video game reference but 3d animation and stuffs too. the teapot is a 3d test model. and about pomni at the end, this is my take on it. at the beginning she had a nightmare about being abandoned and forgotten, but the funeral helped her see these people won't. the visual of hands reaching out to her is a visual metaphor that she's not alone. but i think it's safe to assume the visual of people grabbing her arms and then her smiling is showing that she don't have to worry about her nightmare at the beginning.

[@MichaelJW72]

Pomni: Cool I made a friend with someone who shares my existential dread. Caine: And I took that personally.

[@joshuadunn2]

Glitch: Here's a fun new character! He has a backstory, goes on zany adventures with his goofy gummi crew, has his entire world shattered in an existential crisis leaving him a crumpled husk of his former self before getting picked up by our sweet heroine fish-out-of-water protagonist, who promises him a home for fellow outcasts, companionship, adventures, and now he's dead............ Also Glitch: HEY, WANNA BUY A PLUSHIE OF THAT CHARACTER WE LITERALLY JUST ERASED IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES 30 SECONDS AGO?!?!

[@billboy9115]

23:43 jax got sad when they talked about kaufmo

[@summertime6785]

New episode, same old existential dread. Still, the ending was at least a little sweeter than the first episode was.

[@Lemons_are_delicious]

Am i the only person to see gummigo's friends dancing in the background? 21:32

[@cacovonluca]

The original animator (Kevin) always posts extra scenes that he animated and the backstage of others, there you can perfectly see them dancing together :D

[@MJbutterfly]

Those who grabbed Pomni’s hand at the end clip (from Pomni’s nightmare) were Ragatha, Zooble and Gangle.

[@billboy9115]

4:16 in between kinger and ragatha a doll loses his head after being shook too much

[@aliyahpulido953]

23:42 The tiiiiiny flicker of sadness on Jax's face betrays his fake bravado...

[@maxhatterschannel5140]

The Fudge is based on the Greedy from the Ragedy Ann Movie

[@GalekC]

also The Great Mighty Poo. corn-teeth, the boot-bazooka that Funky Kong has, what have ya

[@inoriselectricboogaloo2442]

The elevator scene is my favorite. God, it makes me cry from laughing every time

[@Samgreen90]

(At 5:29) I don't. And I'm… "counting" on it.
