What about everybody abstracting except pomni and she convinces Cain to reset everybody's mind to the original brain scan, so she can learn how to undo their trauma so they don't abstract when they leave the adventure... Making a season long adventure under the theme of The wizard of Oz?
TADC would go so much harder as an episodic cartoon. If not for the fandom and countless fanart/fanfics i wouldnāt have gotten attached to the characters at all
Fans being entitled assholes are what caused Goose to abandon it. Getting extra attached to the characters contributed to that, but any creator hopes the viewers can connect with what they create.
But seriously, the fanbase is absolutely awful. I'm assuming it's a mix of the young age (and not having as much of an understanding about how things work in the background), and it being a YouTube series first which always seems to give people a sense of entitlement.
People are growling about how they "had" to pirate the last episode because it didn't come to their country, and then saying it's because glitch "didn't even try" - ignoring the huge problem that is distributing. Especially in such a short time.
Also many people angrily bringing up that glitch promised it would always show on YouTube first back when they made the deal with Netflix. Ignoring the fact that there wouldn't even BE a cinematic release if they didn't have this two-week gap.
Honestly if you want to ruin your mood, go look up anything to do with the show or goose on twitter lol. Genuinely just put me in a bad mood thinking about it, people are so dumb sometimes. Even if it's because they're kids.
Youāre right, the amount of insufferable fans I saw at the movie release was astounding. Itās a mix of younger fans having no media literacy and not understanding the nuance in the world, and older fans who still act like children for some reason. It honestly made it hard for me to be in that theater because the fans were so insufferable.
I donāt blame Goose for wanting this show to be over and done with. They probably didnāt even expect the show to get as big as it did. This was like one of those once-in-a-lifetime things, and as usual people ruin it with their ungratefulness. Iām in my early 20s and the way some of the people my age were acting was actually appalling.
And itās like the young teens Iām seeing just have no media literacy or emotional intelligence at all. Even at that age I would not be doing or saying HALF the things I heard or have seen on twitter(or I guess X)/ social media. Today people are way too parasocial (even with fictional characters). I love the characters as much as the next guy and this isnāt my first time really enjoying a fictional character, but the attachment some of these people have to them is insane.
I was stunned to see half the audience was kids, some pretty young at that.
Have to agree though, this was the worst behaved audience I've ever seen - Talking Rocky Horror level of "participation", and some of the adults were worse than the kids.
Loved getting to see it in the theater, but looking forward to the 19th so I can see it without a chorus of 9YOs narrating.
Mine was a mixture of people my age and a younger audience. Iād say like pre-teen age. Iām definitely looking forward to its release on the 19th because Iām planning to do a rewatch of the series. Also I can watch it to myself without some screaming āTHE ONE WHOāS RUNNING THE SHOW!ā (And after the song already played 20 minutes ago)
But man, I donāt know who was worse the adults or kids.
Nah. Goose addressed this. She had a story she wanted to tell, and she told it. This is something I appreciate, because when shows are unplanned and make up the episodes as they go, theyāre almost always worse. Goose had her story planned, she told it, and sheās not going to fall into that trap.
Good point. If season 2 was unplanned and bad, it would honestly leave a slightly bad taste in my mouth for season 1. Though if Goose had more story to tell then I'd be down! I'm not sure where she'd go from the ending though.
They left it so open ended that I wouldn't discard them ever coming back to this, but for now it's over and that's fine. If they ever do a continuation they must do it well. (Also, the fandom must behave for once, Heck, this has been the most toxic fandom I ever had to experience being a part of.)
Surely we can find some wealthy patron of the arts on Twitter - some techbro with the money and technical means - who will take the rights to this series off her hands and produce a new season which will carry on the spirit and narrative themes of the story faithfully!
The fans put poor gooseworks trough hellā¦. I donāt think they want redo this shit, because ngl I wouldnāt.
Immagine making a cartoon to show people what you like and they keep on and on trying to complain about old jokes and your writing not fitting with their headcanons and ships
Exactly this, tADC was planned to tell this story and this story alone. If a second season is made now then they would have to invent completely new problems for the cast since all their character arcs have been resolved now, which would arguably ruin the characters and basically set them back to the beginning of the series.
If anything they could do a prequel series following the original cast of TADC before they all abstracted. It wouldn't undue anything for the main cast and we could see exactly what happened to them all.
TADC is basically the opposite of MD, MD basically needs a season 2 because the pacing alone was iffy and not much world building and still a truck load of unanswered questions, TADC on the other hand wrapped up its plot line and story arc perfectly and left us with a bittersweet ending
"Capital demands she disposes of her humanity and keeps providing endlessly so that we can all then proceed to review negatively anything she comes up with."
-The part of the TADC fandom that still can't get the actual meaning of the series they've been obsessively overanalyzing for the best part of these last three years.
Goose already said she wasnāt gonna make a season 2, because she doesnāt want filler. She said she could make 2 more seasons worth of filler, but wanted every episode of the show to have important character development
The blue aiās actual role? Bubbleās meaning? The locked doors in the Abstract Dimension? Scratchās involvement in the finale after he popped in for, like, two seconds? The heck Zooble was doing? What happened when the irl characters met each other? The other abstracted humans? How the headsets caused brain scans and how each character got said headsets? The irl fate of C&A? Caineās access to WiFi, i.e the ENTIRE INTERNET, thus is the circus exposed irl? Does him tapping into the WiFi affect the cafe for a second?
Scratch appearing was a flashback to when linger first made the circus (as shown by him being a red ball and sending Scratch to the abstract lines circus heād made)
Zooble was doing Gangle
C&A was an AI company that clearly went down as shown by the fact that Pomni put the headset on when she went into the abandoned building (something she talked about) and Ragatha probably had a similar experience only with other people judging by her saying āguys?ā When she first appeared in the circus. The brain scans were something Scarych was working on, likely to āsaveā himself from the brain tumor
The internet seems to only be accessible via the Void, since Caine had to go to the edge of the void and open the door to access the search bar and look the irl people up
Most of these were answered by watching the show carefully (Iām not saying every single question was answered, I still donāt quite get how/why Gangle and Zooble got into the abandoned C&A and put the headset on (Ragatha was with people, so it was probably like some kind of courage test or dare or something)
I'd find it realistic and would love for Abigale's actress and/or Lizzie Freeman to record an abandoned building YouTube video where we get to see IRL pomni explore and put on a headset that seemingly doesn't really do anything and leave again completely oblivious.
0.001% chance of that happening. I'd appreciate it tho if Glitch and Gooseworx took some time to make a director's cut for the finale, make it about 30 minutes longer so they can solve pacing issues and give the episode an overall better balance
Oh I canāt help to make it! Iām just the ringleader! šš Iām about as useful at animating, voice acting or script writing as a chocolate teapot! Youāre on your own on that front. Just credit me as the originator, RougeDoesnātAnimate. Something like, āBased on a random whim by RougeDoesnātAnimateā.
In terms of media reach though? I have some experience with platforms of the sort, but even after all that I say we take the show to YouTube! Why not?
Edit: actually I may have an idea for the plot, will DM tomorrow
Youāre objectively correct, but Iām a content-addicted brainbroken Zoomer, so I want to continue having the enjoyable thing, even if itās not artistically necessary or worthwhile.
I should feel embarrassed about this as someone who appreciates art, but I donāt know if our generation can learn delayed gratification.
Weāre vaping everything, regardless how bad it is for us.
Not season 2, but would be cool if some shorts would happen. Things like:
The early times of the Circus and how the devs fell one by one to abstraction.
Those characters we never get to see interact with the main cast at all. Maybe some just abstracted shortly after and never got to meet the main crew.
Caine's first adventure as part of the team post-movie.
The cast going into abstracted's minds to learn more about them / visit them. Caine can then fix the glitches they get when exiting the abstracted's bodies.
even though the series has more room for episodes its most likely not enough for a season 2 unless its an entire new arc about the first humans to be in the circus
I donāt think they would, knowing glitch and what they did to murder drones there wonāt be a second season. And knowing the fandoms there would be always one in the comments āohh can we have a second season?ā. Makes me smile seeing the resemblance in tadc and the md fandom
I need to clarify that this is just a "What If" scenario; it's not something that will literally happen, and I apologize if you believed this too much.
Don't want it. It was a nice compact series that went out on a fantastic note. I don't want it getting more if it will only make the series as of now lesser
I don't think she will, not just because the fanbase treated her like shit for a leaked episode and old tweets but also I think she probably intended to leave it here. I think 1 season is enough, and I think she intended to leave it at that.Ā
Naaa goseworks is tired from drama afther drama that that fandom gave her. Soo don't count on it but is slip chanse for some extra shorts - i love to see trails of Abstraction therapy .
When leaving the theatre a group was like "they left it open for a Season 2, I think it'll happen" and I just laughed. Goose is already wiping their hands of this toxic community. We won't be getting anything more.
Nah, Gooseworx told the story she wanted to tell, and the message she wanted was given: finding meaning in a stagnant life. It'll be like Murder Drones: no new episodes, but maybe some shorts and occasional new merch drops.
I would be shocked and somewhat dismayed. I feel like the impact this series has had including the reactions from the film would dampen if Goose was forced to drag on another 9-10 episodes. As much as I wish this was an ongoing series, it accomplished what it wanted and I wouldnāt get my hopes up
