HORROR FAN REACTS TO THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - EPISODE 3 - THE MYSTERY OF MILDENHALL MANOR

[@jacquespaught]

I have two Caine theories after this episode: 1. The reason why he doesn't remember past therapy sessions with Zooble is because they keep saying "Forget it!" and he interprets that literally. 2. The reason he puts abstracted circus members in the cellar is to try and calm them down with the darkness. He logically thinks that it'll help them de-abstract, but because he has no emotional intelligence, he doesn't realize that it won't do anything to ease their existential trauma.

[@passingflame24]

That makes it so much sadder. All of them being down there. Alone forever. Damn now I gotta try to get through work without crying 😂

[@mariotheundying]

for the 1st one, he said why he forgot it, he "fixed" the problem, so he doesn't need to worry about it any longer, they had a conversation about it before, and he made the extra parts box, and Zooble actually tried to use that to fix themselves, it didn't work but Caine didn't know about it and still doesn't because Zooble understandably said "forget it" when Caine seemed to brush it off

[@caldercockatoo2234]

@@mariotheundying This!

[@PerfectKirby]

Yeah, I think people keep forgetting that Caine is an AI. I know some stories have fully sapient AIs, but I really don't think that's the case for Caine and his understanding of everything is limited by his programming.

[@hisupwassup]

The more I read the lines from this episode, the more I agree with point 1. Here's example at 18:21 : - Just forget it - Forget what? Caine also said that "his brain" doesn't let him remember, which might refer to hia programming following Zooble's wishes, word to word. That also aligns with Caine being terrible at understanding humans and their emotion as established earlier

[@olmo7177]

11:50 Kinger says that he's "starting to think", but it's not a joke. That's the moment he started to regain his sanity.

[@dustbuddies]

I just realized Kinger being enamored at around 16:30 is probably not because of him getting hypnotized by the monster, but rather because he sees something that reminds him of the abstracted form of his wife (with all of the eyes). Now I'm even sadder! Yay...

[@maliantt]

I do think it's worth noting that Kinger seems to at least know how he feels about people when he's not lucid. It's not like Pomni loses him entirely when they're in the light, it's like having a father with Dementia.

@@PaulyD-m8k It's also interesting because there's a very real phenomena called "sundowning" where people with dementia or Alzheimer's become very notably less coherent/ more confused in the evening/night. So for Kinger, it's like reverse sundowning. The darkness helps him become more cognizant.

Kinger trusted Pomni enough to let her know about Queenie, only after a few days of her being in the circus, shows how close their bond became. It's sad that Kinger will forget their bonding, but set's the start for Pomni to OPEN UP to others, starting with Ragatha, something she struggled before. I feel really bad for him and I'm happy, that he get's more love from the Fandom.

[@flashtyb]

I was a little iffy about Kinger at first, but now he’s really starting to grow on me. Especially the added fact that the reason he rests in that pillow fort, is likely because it’s dark. As he said, the dark is where his memories about Queenie come back to him. Honestly, I pray nothing bad ever happens to this guy. Especially with how kind and caring he can be to his friends.

That and how he's always hiding in this pillow fort all led up to that heartbreaking scene. Now that's great writing.

@@mar420.74Lovecraft was an American author from early 20th century. Wrote a variety of horror stories about ancient dark gods and aliens too bizarre for humans to comprehend them. His most iconic creature was Cthulhu, a large dark god the size of a mountain. While his influence on pop culture is immense, I actually don’t recommend going back to his work. Instead I recommend some of the work from later authors that used similar themes minus the extreme racism that tainted his writing.

My interpretation of Caine is that he's just running way outside of what his program is meant for. He seems to be an entertainment program designed to help willing players that log in for a couple of hours then leave whenever they want and the game is probably meant to be saved and turned off occasionally, but he's stuck caring for people that don't want to be there and the game has apparently been running for years. He might have been a bit more functional in the early days but the longer he's running without a reset the more erratic he becomes.

[@ythegamerita]

And he's probably programmed to never repeat a game, so he's slowly running out of ideas, hence ragatha saying he reuses npcs

This exactly! Look at his "solution" to Zooble's body dysphoria: he gave them a box full of toys and turned it into a game. And yeah, AI notoriously hallucinates if you leave it going for too long.

[@--CHARLIE--]

​@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth same thinking applies with his inability to remember why Zooble isn't satisfied with things.

[@fawfulfan]

The funniest part of the therapy session is that if you pay close attention, whenever Zooble says "forget it," Caine forgets about whatever they were talking about. Which explains why he can't ever remember why Zooble is upset. Being an AI, he takes everything the humans trapped in his world say way too literally.

[@brandonwithnell612]

i think the reason he was so infatuated when the monster opened its mouth was becuase all the eyes inside reminded him of his wifes abstracted form. also one good thing about the cellar that cain sends the abstracts to is that at least its dark so maybe it also helps keep the rest calm too. it makes me wonder if the insanity/abstractedness comes from sensory overload with the brain struggling to keep up with the circus nonsence and kinger survived so long becuase he gives his brain breaks with the darkness

In the last episode when Kinger was talking to Ragatha on the way back to the candy city with the Fudge he was trying to comfort her and recalled when she arrived at the circus while he had the bucket on his head.

The main theme of this show seems to be mental health in general; not just for Pomni, but for everyone. Apparently even Caine.

This episode was great! The best one so far, Kinger is such a lovable and interesting character, he is like a grandfather with Alzheimer who occasionally has moments of clarity, he doesn't remember you, but he does remember that he loves you. Also all the Zooble scenes were great, they are my favorite character since day one and i hope we have a whole episode just for them, they obviously have body dysmorphia, they are clearly trans, maybe they already had problems with their own body in real life and it just aggravated inside the Digital Circus, Gooseworx confirmed that the human characters inside the Circus remembers things from their past lives like their jobs, family, friends and personality, but they dont remember their own names and sometimes some facts about themselves, and Goose specifically confirmed that Zooble doesn't remember if they were a boy or a girl while human and that they feel about that, probably because they identified as non-binary. Also, I can't wait to see your next The Owl House reaction video, i have been waiting the whole week for it, i hope you post it soon.

[@Catpuff818]

I love we get Kinger as a Dad figure 😭 Also I think the reason he's losing his memories/why he becomes lucid in the darkness could be because the environment of the circus tent is overstimulating and at the same time because it never changes it's causes his mind to degrade overtime. Being trapped in the circus will make mostly everyone go insane as some point but the constant brightlight and oversaturated colors of everything in the circus would become overwhelming and nauseating (I can definitely relate to that). The adventures help to keep them stimulated literally. Without them giving their minds a change of pace, the human mind deteriorates without any sensory stimulation. Then if Kinger has been here the longest it's not hard to believe that as his mind deteriorates he'd lose his memories. Then in the darkness where his mind can be given a rest he starts to remember, and the thing he remembers most/best is a moment that has so much significance to him emotionally. I think it also helps that in that memory he's engulfed in darkness so his brain makes that link cognitively when he's in the dark.

[@andrewstephenson5825]

I also really like that, unlike in episode 2, the person she bonded with wasn't ripped away from her. Sure, Kinger won't always have that much clarity, but Pomni knows where to go to find it again: his pillow fort. It's really interesting that Pomni's mental state seems to get worse with each episode, but for every episode after the first one, her situation within the circus itself and her feelings towards the other characters becomes more stable and safe.

[@mrg3520]

In the first episode when kinger is introduced he comes out of the pillow fort asking if anyone was talking about an insect collection, aka referring to his wife, meanwhile in the second episode he points out the candy butterfly as soon as they enter the kingdom, nice details when looking back

[@HaughtyToast]

There's a theory that Kinger helped create the Circus. He seems to apologize for it in this episode "It's my fault we went down this path, wasn't it? I'm really sorry for that." The part in the tapes where he's listening so intently talks about how the npc shot his wife while trying to hunt the angel "In my attempts to protect her, I ended up becoming the monster myself." Kind of makes me think it was Kinger's fault that his wife ended up in the circus. Like maybe she was on Death's doorstep and he wanted to preserve her mind in the game or something.

Kinger and Pomni have been my favorite characters since the pilot so a episode largely centered around them was a real treat. If you watch Kinger he demonstrates good gun safety as well. When Pomni crosses his sight he raised the gun so it wasn't pointing at her. He spins the gun in his hand when Pomni gives it to him. When the angle appears he pushes Pomni behind him both to protect her and so he had a clear field of fire. Also if you pay attention the longer he is in darkness the more coherent and complex his sentences become from simple sentences to a complex monologue about his wife to a speech to inspire Pomni.

I really think Kinger is one of the people that made the Digital Circus. It would make sense as he was there the longest (as stated in ep1) and seems to be very smart when enveloped in darkness (as we see in ep3). He also mentioned computer science, which could directly refer to him. Mr. Mildenhall could also be like the NPC version of Kinger, albeit not a good person, when he mentioned the wife and theoretical children. The wife has been confirmed and he does seem like he could have been the dad of the group before he lost his mind. He definitely gave off massive dad vibes in this episode, so it doesn't seem too far off. The souls also somehow knew that Kinger had a wife and knew who he was, but that could've been Caine programming that in sort of as a fully immersive experience.

[@JasonAFlintham]

It looks like they’re gonna give Pomni one-on-one time with each character in each episode, and they seem to be foreshadowing who it’ll be each time. Episode 2 hinted that Kinger’s mind settles down when he’s in darkness, which came to fruition here. This episode revealed that Zooble has mental health issues, meaning it’s likely the next episode is going to dive deeper into their backstory. My theory is that Zooble entered the circus in the hopes that they’d find some sort of cure for their body dysmorphia, deliberately choosing an avatar with interchangeable body parts, only to find that it didn’t help them, and now they’re stuck in a body they possibly hate even more.

[@Isiel42]

My theory is that there used to be a second entity alongside caine (replaced by Bubble I guess?) meant to balance out his lunacy. Either something happened to it, or it was never even made, who knows? It would be strange if a company was called "C+A" and only one of the letters were relevant. Also, I wish they'd shown Pomni talking with Zooble about the adventure at the end or something. Just so Zooble could go "Wait, *that's* what Caine meant by 'mature'? Wtf is wrong with him?" I feel like this series is building towards an eventual intervention with Caine or something.

Caine is the way he is for two reasons: 1. He was designed to make games for children, so all his "solutions" come in the form of games 2. His AI has started to "hallucinate" because it's been left running for too long.

[@alexanderprice1583]

When kinger almost got eaten and hypnotized by the lights, I think that the monster was supposed to be a IT reference with the dead lights or whatever those lights are called

[@PbeingXD]

Things noticed in this ep Kinger background, his sane seems to be a great father figure Zooble turned out to be aware of everyone personalities and seem to be more caring than superficially seen Caine is self-aware? Jax got owned 😂 Ragatha and gangle is just being themselves

[@Manda_Kat]

Pomni at Kinger: You are my dad- you're my dad! Boogie-oogie-oogie!

[@DaveMatthew0]

😶‍🌫️cums on kinger

[@brucewayne33497]

I wonder if Kinger might've gotten in an argument with his wife and said or did something really mean and hurtful to her before she abstracted and the reason why i say this is because of when him and Pomni were in hell he said to Pomni cherish the people around you because you never know when they'll be gone in this world the worst thing you can do is make someone think they're not wanted or loved

[@damthatssick]

That's what I thought too! He got mad and said something he didn't mean, maybe?

[@HankDoesArt]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT BOUT HOW 27:51 Kinger: Get out off her you damn evil souls

[@joaoalmeida99]

Man, i cried during this and the last episode, really like series that can make me feel things

[@jaxolon333]

37:12 in the polish dub caine calls them skibidi sigmas

[@watermelonstout6999]

in the 2nd episode kinger remembers how long it takes ragatha to adjust to the circus because he has a bucket over his head. and in the 1st episode he rambles on about an insect collection, the thing his wife loved to talk about

[@KUwUpa]

The discussion Kinger and Pomni had really resonated with me. I too cherish the memories I have with people because they help keep me going, and I want to enjoy what I can just in case they disappear one day. Amazingly done scene.

[@lordaragon901]

Just realized: Caine: “and for the first time ever you can…” It’s go to hell. The rest of the sentence was “for the first time ever you can go to hell” Because they literally go to hell as part of the plot of the adventure 😂

[@ScreamingScallop]

Gotta assume the Late Mrs. Mildenhall (and maybe some other ghost hosts) tied up Jax; you know Rags and Gang wouldn't be able to subdue him.

[@PurpleWarlock8152]

i feel like kinger is gonna abstract at some point and he's gonna be put in the dark cellar where he is gonna remember that moment and un-abstract somehow

[@samm425]

I think that we're heading to a Kung Fu panda 2/jujutsu kaisen situation, where all pomni's traumas and suffering lead her to reach enlightenment. And with her new found wisdom she'll help everyone to deal with their issues, specially Caine who'll end up letting they exit the circus

[@yuishishido8780]

Once thing I’m curious about is the company name C&A Caine could be a play on the word Cane of course. But what if it isn’t… what if C&A stands for Cain and Abel

[@avapatdu6828]

26:35 really?! I love EPIC the musical! nice!!!

[@wraith1771]

If being in the dark calms down abstracted humans, it is entirely possible that Kinger's memory being so affected by light and dark could be a warning sign for his abstraction. It doesn't always have to be memory, just like how everyone has a different reaction to holding thier breath. But the fact that his madness calms down in the dark might be an ill omen.

[@rosenrot234]

I just love how it shows how a human and a AI can stress the heck out over not remembering things

[@Atemnûra_KrünZorûk4.5]

Bet that he gets tiny after a while of holding... You know. Cuz he- LANKY LIKE A [BOING!] STREET LIGHT! from a JAX RABBIT! to a tiny golf ball sized bnuy! He gets stuck in said form until he does the "holding breath till I start to feel like im suffocating" thing. Google images of jack rabbits compared to a bunny to see what I mean :]

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

I do think, looking at all the lessons Pomni is learning, first from talking with Gummygoo, now from talking with Kinger, it’s building to something. I think this is a Soma situation since at the end of episode 1 we get a peek outside, and there’s a headset sitting on the desk, notably without an original pomni passed out in it or laying somewhere. I feel like this is building up to them all learning that they aren’t their original selves and there truly is no escape, and all she’s learning about the importance of those you care about will be what lets her do a big speech to keep everyone from abstracting

[@zcubeDbz]

I was a bit off the mark with Kinger's condition. I thought it was a reverse claustrophobia situation because he seemed more lucid with the bucket on his head in episode 2 and his fort

[@Rubberman202]

This episode actually made me wonder what Zooble does while everyone is out on adventures... Maybe they just prefer to be alone most of the time, they seem pretty irritable interacting with other people... Not in a "I don't like these weirdos" kind of way, but mostly because they're dealing with their own discomfort over their body. I actually do hope we get more focus on Zooble in a future episode; we got a little bit on insight as to what their deal is, but it still feels like the focus was more on Kinger this episode, which by the way, Kinger is the GOAT! Best character in the whole show! Edit: By the way, if you were to do a reaction to the Spooky Month series, I'd totally watch them!

[@abacaxigomes4416]

Let's stop for a moment and appreciate the fact that Caine put sentience into a prop just because

[@cainothecreator8363]

23:50 but... but wouldn't he have been dragged down himself after he beheaded it? Feels more like Caine wasn't expecting them to actually shoot it, and changed the story in a panic, which personally I love. Fits perfectly.

[@jp_nona]

24:48 I DIDN'T EVEN REALISE THAT WAS THE WIFE THE OTHER GUY HAD MISTAKEN FOR THE BEAST

[@lucidia9012]

2:51 I think it’s something HE finds embarrassing. And by that I mean something the others might find cute. Like maybe he turns small, or gets fluffy! I love the theory and I really really REALLY hope it’s true. Jax is my fav by far, and I am sure Gooseworks will bring it up at some point, surely. Maybe in his episode? Great reaction vid ❤

[@Icecolten1]

I have a theory that Kinger created the circus and made Cane. Because he says seven years of computer science for this and Jax say's in the first episode that Kinger has been here the longest.

[@daraactualtrash]

Lets gooooo, Kinger best boy

[@Maxisamo1]

Kinger was my favorite character for fun reasons, now he's just my favorite character

[@MarKreationsStudios]

Link in the description is the wrong episode, just FYI! Love the video!

[@Thyga.05]

37:11 Fun fact, in the Polish dubs, he calls them "My skibidi sigmas"

[@Youwillseesomething]

If you need any spooky games to play for October, particularly involving manors I would recommend “Spooky’s jumpscare mansion” it’s a cute game with very cute puppies and kids in it and is totally not absolutely terrifying at all.
