I’ve been told the person who kept insisting they had an English dub has now turned their Discord server into some Minecraft shit, so I guess we’re never getting that file after all. It already sounded pretty unbelievable that he had it in the first place. Sad we'll have to wait until June 4th and June 19th to watch the trainwreck get worse.
 
It's due to them all watching Gravity Falls, Adventure Time and Steven Universe in their teens twenties. Those shows all had an episodic structure with an overarching narrative, "deep" lore that fans could speculate on, quirky homosexual bipocs and episodes with "mature" themes and jokes so manchildren can excuse themselves watching it. Except all those shows had competent studio oversight and were written by people with a professional animation background and education (even doe it's CalArts). The only show I've seen that bucks this trend is Smiling Friends, and that's due to the creators actually playing to their strengths, instead of trying to depict the realistic and messy breakup of an aroace polycule.

In short, OneyPlays supremacy
Adventure Time didn't start as that, which is the worst part. AT had some little bits of lore and stuff in season 1 and 2, but it wasn't until season 3 that they went all in on it. And, to their credit, season 3 was great. But season 3 sowed a lot of the seeds that would end up ruining the show.

The worst one being insane fangirls shipping Marceline and Bubblegum. The crew later pandered to those fans so hard that not only did two previously straight characters become gay; the whole fucking later part of several seasons revolved around their dyke relationship, completely overshadowing the supposed main character.
 
Can any kiwis who were invested in the show prior to the leak clue me on the attraction here?
I initially liked it as a fun show that had a bit of mystery. I avoided the fandom (learning quickly to stay away from them) and enjoyed the show as a mildly entertaining story. Caine became my favorite character from episodes 3-8. The slow progression of him glitching out and losing his grip a bit more each episode was well done. I thought his crashout was great for the story and a natural progression after all the hints of what was coming. I liked the concept of an AI programmed to make humans have fun, but the AI doesn't fully understand how humans work so he accidentally annoys them at best and tortures them at worst. It's like an AI getting a copy of Resident Evil and being told "Humans LOVE this game! It sold millions of copies! There's a huge franchise, people love playing it so much!" and that AI creating a horrorscape for the humans to "play in" thinking they'll have a great time (which was explored in episode 3 in a funny way).

I was already a longtime enjoyer of the game SOMA and was even looking forward to a SOMA-like reveal in the final episode because of how heavily it was hinted. I didn't even care if the ending was stereotypical, trite, or predictable. Even with my low expectations, the final episode dropped the ball and addressed nothing but shallow, forced sentiment. The way the characters acted felt like the writers had suddenly never met another human in their lives and was so weird: Pomni's emotions turned on and off at the drop of the hat. One moment she's sobbing while holding Jax while he hyperventilates knowing he's about to become a mindless monster. Seconds later, she's smiling and laughing with her other friends, who pulled her away from Jax, now the mindless monster he was terrified of becoming. Did a human even write this scene?

I've already addressed many details why I felt like the final episode was terribly written, but the rest of the above is why I enjoyed most of the other episodes.
 
The funny thing is these avatars will most likely die before their real world counterparts. If the simulation gets turned off or anything goes wrong with, say, the wiring of any part of it that's just running endlessly...then that's it. Electronics can be fickle as fuck and things degrade, it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong and everything turns off. The fact the program has been going on for years nonstop is nothing short of a miracle.
I like the horror of that. I remember there's thing Black Mirror episode where this guy transferred his consciousness into a video game but gets stuck within it, unable to quit the game as the camera cuts to his real body motionless on a chair. It's the realization that you are trapped in a digital prison while your body rots and there's nothing you can do.
 
So if Caine can recreate abstracted (dead) people because they're all based on brainscans anyway... why didn't he just delete the abstractions and bring the person back to try again every time they died?

Like they're already just copies of the original person and irrecoverably corrupted, not to mention basically braindead once abstracted anyway, just deleting them and starting over with a fresh copy from the og brainscan would basically be indistinguishable from simply erasing their memory and starting over, which I can't see why Caine would have any moral issues with.

Why would he keep the abstractions and just never bring the person back? Why wouldn't he keep trying over and over until he figures out each person enough to get what he wants from them (their approval)? He's an AI sitting in an abandoned building for 20 years, he never thought of that?
With this question alone you've created a better premise for a story. A reverse IHNMBIMS where an AI has to try, over and over and over, to keep his subjects sane. Probably working towards a proper goal. Always hoping that this will be 'the one'.

Maybe the AI didn't delete all the traces properly? Maybe he's misjudged what's actually corrupting them? What if they can uncorrupt naturally?

All of those above questions have a better foundation for a story than who Zooble will get to poz their tranny neg hole.

Black Mirror's digital clones also have a time dilation thing where years can pass inside the simulation while only a few hours pass outside.
 
Can't wait for the all average consumers to see the ending, go back through the series, and make a "signs that were obvious" video of all "foreshadowing" to then go and glaze the hell out of this project like it was modern shakespeare. People are actually going to cry and be destroyed on the inside over Jax abstracting. It'll be like when Bakugo "died" for one chapter and girls threatened to kill themselves over it so much that (Horikoshi?) had to bullshit him not dying by some literally who hero stitching him up and saving his life.

The lack of well made media is making bad media seem good. I haven't watched many shows/movies that I've actually enjoyed. Everything just feels like slop now. For every "Hereditary" there is a Hazbin Hotel. For every "Annihilation" there is a "Scream +1".

When the fuck did it all go downhill? How do you have millions of creatives in the field, yet none of them actually make anything of quality? They need to start requiring and I mean REQUIRE that show/movie writers have a finished script of the entire fucking thing before pitching even a pilot. All of it written the fuck down from start, to middle, to end. Then, if it's a cartoon, we strap down the Over the Garden Wall guy and make him go over it to see if its shit or not and fix anything he says to fix with no questions asked.

So sick of all these creators who don't know wtf they're doing being given the freedom to make the "Next Big Thing" and devolving into trash. They need to require only finished media before accepting, even if just the script (unless it's episodic with only a minimal story line like Smiling Friends. It's focused on comedy, not lore).

Have editors make changes. Have someone who looks dead in the creator's eyes and say "Fuck you that's retarded we aren't making the owl "truly" in love with an imp since childhood you dumb fujo-banshee".

It's especially dogshit when it's lgbtqiaBawitdabadabangdadangdiggydiggydiggysaidtheboogiesaidupjumptheboogie+ content. When Elton John dies these people are so fucked. We won't have a single non-bullshit gay creator in media ever again.

We just want well written and constructed media, man. Indie people need to be held to a standard professionally and creatively. Goose shouldn't be crying on main about his show. He shouldn't interact with them outside of resharing fanart and saying "thank you guys! You're support means everything to me!!".

No showing up to cons looking like slobs, no crying on the internet, no bitching about content farms, no crying about NEGA jokes, etc. Act like an adult and curate an adult audience. You want to act like a child online, don't be surprised when you're audience turns out to be children and man-children. Write a mature story thoroughly from start to finish or stfu.

ive never read i have no mouth and i must scream
Once upon a time there were only 5 people and a computer left. The computer was an asshole so the humans decided "Fuck you, computer" and killed each other. One guy left behind. Computer edits man so man can't kill himself though injury. Man and computer stuck together forever.

Black Mirror's digital clones also have a time dilation thing where years can pass inside the simulation while only a few hours pass outside.
How could I forget White Christmas? That clone definitely had the worse fate imaginable.
In "Black Museum" they show that it's now (at the point that episode takes place) illegal to trap a digital clone ("cookie") in any form that's not capable of sharing at least 5 emotions, and in "Hated in the Nation" they have been awarded human rights.

Black Museum is a Carl Pilkington episode, too, which is funny.
 
Vriska didn't do this shit till long after homestuck was over in the extra material made by some californian leech hussie hired who decided to try and make her into their self insert. Still yeah there's some similarities lmao.
Vriska was always a shit character, though. Should have stayed dead after Terezi killed her. But instead the most toxic character in the main cast somehow getting revived somehow saves everyone? It's retarded.
I loved the part where they are having that dinner scene, everyone is happy, smiling, but we hear the diner* door bell, Pomni looks at the source of the sound and the screen goes black.

Bravo, Vince.

*turns out they were in a diner all along, what a twist


Any millenials able to write shit arent allowed in the industry because the industry isnt after quality but control of the quality if that makes sense
Only fags, minorities and women really get published these days. It's a big problem in writing.

With how many ideas this thread is throwing around, I wouldn't be surprised that out there might exist someone stubborn and autistic enough to actually go for something like this

I mean, it technically worked out for Snoot Game, right?
I mean I'm already writing my own continuation of the story that picks up during the Pomni Jax hug scene. A lot of people are probably doing the same.
 
Yeah this shit pissed me off. Jax can be a pretty cringe character at times but at his core he honestly reminds me of the mental state of a lot of gen z dudes nowadays, which I know was certainly intentional. The fact that the creator is indirectly saying that they’re actually just struggling with their masculinity and should be effeminate or transition altogether or just commit sewerslide (or both? I’m still confused as fuck what was trying to be said here) was like the most retarded shit ever. r/sillyboyclub/boykisser shit was a plague on modern young men I’m fucking tired of these retards trying to groom little boys to make them effeminate
Makes you realize there was a good reason most cultures tried to steer boys away from the effeminate.

I've noticed this going on for quite some time, and it predates gen z. All the boy band types from the millenial days were also very effeminate, and it's only gotten worse with the recent obsession with 'twinks'.
 
You know what? I'm satisfied. The overwhelming majority of people despise this dogshit ending. Good. We can make our own now. Imagine Cooper trying to take down fan projects for making money just because they tell the story better than his tranny ass.
My ending:

Immediately after the series ends, Ragatha's real life counterpart (a realtor) is walking through the C&A offices with a group of Mexican contractors.

"This place is a mess! We're going to have to work overtime to make sure it's presentable for the showings next week!"

She comes across the computer the circus is running inside, unplugs it, and picks it up.

"Pedro, could you put this into the dumpster out back for me? It's way too old to be worth anything."

The end.
 
And you could have easily linked one and said "this is what I want". But you didn't do that, did you?
Why should I put the effort in for your whiny ass when I already engaged enough to read them previously? Use the search bar for yourself, it's only on every page.

I also mentioned more specific changes I thought would have been better, multiple times. Just because you didn't read any of those posts just means you were the uninformed one who didn't bother to catch up before spergging out in a thread.
