Now that Caine has access to the internet, cant he just download some recovery software to un-corrupt the mindfiles?
He's been researching and trying to download more RAM first. He might make a post where people tell him the best way to recover it is by deleting system 32.
 
They bothered to setup all this shit, that is completely anachronist to the show own setting, mind you, but couldn't write a decent ending.
Creating real life social media accounts to the characters, just to get spammed by dumb fanboys, was the last thing the revival of western animation needed.

I honestly think that the Susie Ackerman, Triangle and Jax related accounts are fan made.
 
The strangest part is Jax in the real world didn't troon or I doubt he would have stuck with his double male deadname (so male it even flows into his last name.) He just goes to the queer bar, so is in some sort of cishet with a twist subgroup (he at least seems to primarily be attracted to women, despite his resentment, maybe he is one of the lesser seen male they/thems), but he's a good enough boy who learned to accept being mundane and just hanging out with friends and being okay with life. Trooning wasn't his one true answer, which you think it would have been with how his circus self got punished.

Maybe it was just made as an attack against Ted in the original story, who was the one who had to get left behind so that the others could know the escape of death. He got his mouthless, perma torture form that will go on for eternity, but the others are free. In this story, the others realize AM is actually great and they love him; "Ted" is still damned to the mouthless form of unending torture as the pet to the people who accepted their stagnant life.

I still can't get over how this group of people from I guess the same sort of large city with like 20 years between their ages just all end up casually knowing each other through the same gaybar, did they somehow accidentally all meet when they told the same weird story about visiting the abandoned building where the computer runs that weird game you can't play?

I guess even if they power goes out and they are just dormant on that harddrive, it won't be like they'd know. Your files on that abandoned harddrive don't have a capacity mourn. They would just start up again if it was ever turned back on but be unaware if it went to the incinerator instead. Maybe Scratch was just immensely wealthy and instead of donating that money to charity or willing it away he put it into running his 1990s computer for the rest of time believing his digital copy would stay alive even though it was the first abstraction.

Caine would do nothing but download bloatware and viruses the moment he realized how much stuff is on the internet.
A thousand fucking bonzi buddies beat the recently unabstracted Jax to death.
Can't wait for a game like this-

Oh wait.

I said before and I'll re-iterate that I think Caine or some C&A rep has notified them it's time to go check on the Digital Circus. It's sequelbait, nothing more. Nobody stays dead, Jax comes back, Ribbit and Kaufmo will too, so there's even more characters for merch.
 
Bionicle had a more coherently written story and that only existed to sell toys to children
Bionicle has the benefit of being hard-carried by the vibes of the worldbuilding. The juxtaposition of high-tech robots in a primitive tribal setting has a lot of interesting philosophical questions baked into the premise that are never fully addressed by the story. They are artificial beings, undoubtedly the product of intelligent design, who have so thoroughly forgotten the purpose they were made for that nobody ever thinks to question their own utterly illogical existence. Their religious mantra - Unity, Duty, Destiny - is but a bastardization of their original programming: gotta work together (Unity) to fulfill the function (Duty) that you were designed for (Destiny). Their in-universe makers, the Great Beings, are also a rare example in fiction of unchecked creation being cast in a negative light: they’re neglectful gods who rarely spare their creations a second thought, preferring to go endlessly create new things instead, often with little regard to potential unforeseen consequences.

Overall the setting is kind of an inverse of the sci-fi post apocalypse you have in something like Blame, where technologically-regressed humans are living in the ruins of a long-forgotten great civilization. It’s something that surprisingly hasn’t been seen in much media before or since, Horizon Zero Dawn is the only thing that’s kind of tried a similar thing with its feral robotic “animals”.

They're actually organic aliens with cybernetic exoskeletons (and some of them aren't even supposed to be augmented at all) and you'd know that if you even so much as glanced at the actual media and saw them eating food and farming and shit.

Makuta tricknology afoot here.

Anyways Bionicle's big thing is that it doesn't do a "nothing matter they all not real" twist like this circus show and a lot of other things predictably have done the last decade even when they go into wacked out existential shit like the reveal of what the red star actually is.
 
They clearly wanted to pay as little attention to the whole "abstractions are stuck that way forever" thing as possible and hoped no one noticed
They are really shit at storytelling (or maybe the sub wasn't clear) because it looked like Pomni had almost unabstacted jax when they pulled her out and if they had waited another five seconds he would've been back.
 
Maybe Scratch was just immensely wealthy and instead of donating that money to charity or willing it away he put it into running his 1990s computer for the rest of time believing his digital copy would stay alive even though it was the first abstraction.

Now THAT would be fucking hilarious

Eating (directly absorbing the life energy of other beings through their hands) is just an emergency fallback they’re forced to resort to while stranded on the island, in their “natural” habitat of the Mata Nui robot they prefer to use charging pads and as far as I’m aware have never been implied to “eat” anything like they do on the surface. The actual lore is unclear on the nature and extent of their organic physiology but they’re definitely not organic beings in exoskeletons - at best they’re robots with a few fleshy bits inside. Personally I interpret that they’re robots made of technology sufficiently advanced that some parts bear more resemblance to living things than machines, with crystalline brains that are more analogous to a human meat brain than to a computer. I just don’t think having any truly organic components really jives with the established fact that they’re more or less biologically immortal and can live for tens of thousands of years without aging or degradation.
