CANDY ADVENTURES AND DEPRESSION! | THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS: Episode 2 Reaction 

Or thinks she betrayed him

Me to 😢

Or even worse, he thinks she's guilty of what happened

That's exactly what's going to happen. There's no way The Circus would have room to backs up every NPC's memories. If we see Gummigoo again, it won't be the same person.

yeah feel like we are going to see him again, tho it wont really be him. Heck he might come back again and again in different forms leaving Pomni more and more depressed. Idk, this shit is dark, like life.

*snaps*

Thats my favorite scene too

Agreed, it gives us a better look at Pomni's true character, which was hard to really discern in episode 1

I disagree on the development part, it's just episode 2. It's more that we get to see what she does when things are quiet, as opposed to the frantic nature of the first episode. She got to show herself as the wiser one, because she is in fact an adult.

I like how there was no music.

His VA also killed it on the performance, there's a moment where his voice trembles and it breaks me emotionally

Should he come back, I think he'll lose any trust he had with Pomni if he still remembers her.

I think there will be another candy canyon kingdom adventure with the fudge as an enemy, so I hope gummigoo appears there

@@chrislaurent1137 Which is unfair because she had no idea but is likely the most realistic scenario.

I think he actually helped Pomni relate to Ragatha, trying to cheer a new friend up in an impossible situation.

I wanted to belive...

Same

i went like: NPC on a loose!

"have fun with the execution"

@@k96man oh fuck, now it hits different XD

Yeah he left in the scene before he probably Doesn’t like all that feelings stuff ,seems like him tbh

Notice his expression. He actually did feel bad for Kaufmo, but shrugged it off, not wanting to feel what he felt was "weakness." I'd love to see an actually heartfelt moment from him some day...

@@WillieManga Even the Charismatic Jerks can break when the right buttons are pushed.

Poor guy's trying so hard to dissociate from his emotions

I thought for sure we were going to see him watching from a distance.

Yeah i got the same feeling when Gummy just exploded wich i HOPE he didn't die or get deleted or some sh

or a certain will of p for me

@@Badex_1313| Oh, he's TOTALLY gone. The Digital Circus is a computer program, and good software doesn't run unnecessary systems in the background. The entire Candy Kingdom ceased to exist the moment the players left it.

@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth Information about it could still be stored somewhere in case Caine wants to use it again, especially if he wants there to be any continuity between their visits there. And some games do run a lot of stuff in the background, like Shadows of Doubt which runs the entire map and every character within it at all times. That game is specifically designed for it though and has a small game world as a result. Still, CCK could just be run in the background. We don't how much computing resources Caine has available to use.

​@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth yea but it acts like a video game with multiple locations the candy kingdom is just one of them so I doubt it was just deleted

And Ragatha is Raggedy Ann-esque.

Or put one through violent maiming and torment of some kind. Or had previous Players do something to another Player who Cain thought was an NPC.

I suppose they can sleep, they just don't need to

@@Irreverent_Radiation yep, they can but they don´t need to

It was said they really don't *need* to sleep, but it doesn't mean they can't. Plus, being as these are people, spending time in ones' room and sleeping is probably just habitual to them at this point. They're minds still retain thoughts of how things happened in the real world, I'm sure.

Could be daydreaming for all we know, or the remnants of their human minds working to give them a simulation of sleep.

@@Lambent_Omega True enough, just as they don't NEED to eat, yet they do it anyways. While it "doesn't give the nutrients" of food, as stated by Kinger in the pilot episode, it simulates the feeling of eating. Something that more than likely helps keep the crews' minds a bit more sane, having kind of a link to real world regularities.

I'd rather not have the thing responsible for you be confused.

​@@rosenrot234 If it meant keeping people from being poofed I could deal.

I think it's implied that there's a chance any one of the circus group could already be an NPC that Caine lost track of. Pomni included.

*"he can just BE confused and beeping deal with it"* You seem to forget that Caine isn't like the others. He's an AI, and he doesn't have the same sense of emotions and reality, or the same thought process as the circus members do. So him saying what he did, and the actions he took after, are perfectly understandable in that he doesn't possess that sense of mortality.

4:12 Oh thats nothing; I once took the entire supply of Prince Edward Island's Canadian bacon, and I, burnt, it, all, to a charcoal.

Its more likely Jax is just acting like they're not real just so he doesn't go insane. Regarding Kinger and Gangle. They can't die even when Abstracted so why not go nuts with it?

@@rosenrot234 Either that or he has caught on that they're copies and he considers them no different than AI. I don't think pretending they're fake will work out for him if that's the case.

Yeah we have that in real life too, it's called being an asshole

@@samwallaceart288 I'm just saying this might be the reason he's being an asshole.

@@HaughtyToast Oh yeah don't get me started. EVERY asshole has a reason. The assholes with a good reason are the ones you gotta worry most about; at least with a guy shit-talking but it doesn't mean anything, you can just throw it back. But when a guy has some morally superior justification for being some type of way; there's no arguing with them, you just gotta knock their block off. Been apologizing for guys like that all my life, it's never enough, they'll always find some shit to pull on people and not take accountability. I'm drunk lol that's just where I'm at on the whole "they have their reasons" thing; as if Ragatha and Pomni and Kingy don't also have their reasons lol

More specifically, he was parrying the damage from hitting rocks with the Pizza Tower taunts.

The answer is don’t think about it too much or your head will explode. This seems like one of those things that you COULD pick it apart till the very last detail and argue over it forever, but if you just like, turn off your overthinking cap for a minute, you realize you already DO know the answer. Imo we have a pretty good built-in sense of what’s a person and what’s not because we’re wired to, we don’t have to overthink it. That’s why human-looking robots creep us out - if we really didn’t know the difference we wouldn’t feel that way. “It’s just monkeys singing songs mate”

@@kaylasilverstein4137 youv place way more importance and divine truth upon a primitive and ancient instinct... the uncanny valley instinctyour saying is all the proof you persdonally need... iv felt that same thing... and moved past it... becuase all it can tell you is that somehtings diffrent, not why or how much or if that difference is important... just a vuage random cavemen! level! FELLING... that doesint help anything... you may as well praise babies that instintualy fear other racies... yes... your point is that F%$kin stupid... yet you have the dunning crugar effect in full force you think the primitive gibberish your spewing out is some profound timeless wisdom!... pethetic.

He's probably trying to emotionally detach himself as a coping mechanism. In the pilot he was showed to care for the others, but not openly. Maybe in his mind he thinks if he makes himself unlikable then when its his turn to abstract the emotional impact it has on the rest of the group will be much less severe. Or, ya know, he's just a dick lol

Or just replace "water!" With vodka like my highschool friends did. Both clear liquids after seeing that scene.

True ,it still hurts

I think Alicia summed it up perfectly. I thought Gummigoo was just going to disappear when he touched the gate. I didn't think Caine would freakin' Thanos Snap him.

@@jiltedensign7479 Yeah. The writers handled it really well because they give the viewer just a crumb of hope having him be okay crossing thru to the circus.

Welcome to the channel!

My new face boy needs to come back ,really hope he remembers pomni if he returns

I’m really hoping he just comes back in general! I was silently saying to myself, “Oh Come On! Why Did He Have To Die!? Can’t we just get of Jax? I don’t think anyone will mind that sociopath getting the axe!”

I’m more furious of Jax not attending Kaufmo’s funeral service. Though, who knows if they were even close.. I know how he is and his personality but c’mon 😔

@@flashtyb Oh they would definitely mind. You ever meet a Jax stan? If he was going to be axed they'd axe Goose first.

@@BrittneyCake oh with that face just before leaving, jax was definitely close. just a little too in denial of feelings to accept it

i refuse to believe there wasn't at least one outtake where he said the actual line

It doesn't matter if he didn't actually say it, the internet will do its thing

Submissive and what?

@@JRicardoTorres3752 something slutty thats for sure

@@JRicardoTorres3752 Ahem, a word often used along with a certain Vaporeon meme. Submissive and '...' You can figure it out. Not typing the word due to possible minors.

Its also nice because that funeral is a bit of meaning in this meaningless world. They lost there bodys and there freedom, but they can at least still hold events and share memories with each other. I like that at the core its clear that Digital Circus is a reflection on what it means to live. Reality will allways be a mystery out of our control, gods or no gods, we still bend to the wills of forces we are powerless against. But that dose not mean we cant still make meaningfull moments. The ending seems sad but in reality its a moment of them all sharing a peace of the freedom they still have.

All of them, but Jax. His hand is the only one not catching her.

Except for Jax, he's a douche, he doesn't care.

@@rubykelly2305 I'd like to think that he wasn't there because he didn't attend the funeral and so Pomni doesn't know what he would've done. But we got saw a quick glimpse of his face when they mentioned Kaufmo's funeral, sharing an expression of what looked like sadness quickly being frustrated or angry (maybe about Kaufmo or maybe disappointment in the latest adventure lol). I hope to see more of a character development for Jax as he seems like the one who does care deep down but refuses to acknowledge it.

​@@megarayquaza9054 Just wait for the character development mate.

Doesn't stop Rule 34 artists.

I know I want to I mean, uh What?

​@@pugmasterben🤨

@@pugmasterben i want to as well tbh.

@@pugmasterben I know the feeling brother

Fr. She got to see it 2 months ago for sure

At least Sir Pentious went to heaven.

the will of G, i must believe

Think of like being a pc in pokemon lol (Hes not dead, just gone)

But Sir Pentious went to Heaven at least... Also, Rather it be Caine than Adam, sounds a little less horrible at least

Oh my god, now I'm imagining "It starts with sorry" but with Gummigoo as Sir Pentious, Pomni as Charlie, and Jax and Zooble as Angel Dust and Vaggie.

That is a super cool fun fact!

​@@aliciaxdeath It's also a reference to the concept "Reynolds Teapot", the idea that if you say something, YOU are the one who has to prove it, and nobody needs to disprove it.

@@doubleaabattery7562 Okay I looked up the Newell/Utah Teapot, and I find no relation to Russell's Teapot. And there are several teapots that are stationary, which doesn't match the singular orbiting nature of Russell's Teapot. So I think it's just a 3d modelling reference.

@@doubleaabattery7562Russell’s teapot

@@revolution2762 Is it called that? Damn must've misheared whoever said it before

Good to know, that someone knows that reference

Also important to mention that the poses' main feature in the game is to serve as a parry when taking damage. The gator hit a pose when hitting a rock and spammed it while in the rocky road.

@keanu3782 You're right! I didn't catch the fact that he was specifically doing it to parry. That makes the reference hit funnier for me.

I was just about to say Alicia: So are these like FNF poses *everyone hated that*

@@gboogie3257 fallout reference nice, also i was freaking losing it when she said that

He probably just views it all like a video game,

they are all handling the circus differently, jax is handling it like a game.

The Chaos is what's keeping him sane.

@@purpleguy319 I was about to say the same. This circus seems more like a zoo. Perhaps the abstractions are an issue like under-stimulation, or solitary confinement. I'd be interested to know how long Jax has been one of Cain's guests.

He's like an avatar of intrusive thoughts

a doctor manhattan eeaao baby unicorn horn

It's so sad Gummigoo died of ligma

@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworthwhat’s ligma

​@@atlas.from.portal2 Steve Jobs!!

@@dr.ham101 I knew about the joke all along, it was very funny tho

I know, Right? Justice for Gummygoo

fr i genuinely thought he was gonna be a part of the main cast for a second 😭

This is just like when they killed off Sir Nuxious

I mean, there's no reason why he wouldn't just send him back. I don't thinks he's dead, or at least dead dead.

@Logamer-tn6db I think his model will come back into circulation and pomni will be too traumatized from before to try and be friends with him

Why not Kinger's hand I wonder?

​@@azeTrom17 He's there, it's just that because he doesn't have arms it's hard to see his hands.

@@azeTrom17 If I'm not mistaken, Kinger's hand is at the very back. You can distinctly see a white glove in that area.

@@emeralddragon2980yeah the only hand that isn’t there (I think) is Jax’s

Actually they're Utah Teapots - an early test render object created in 1975 by Martin Newell.

Why not both?

@@jordanhunter3375 Both is good.

Lots of 3d animation references in that section: "The Teapot primitive in 3ds Max derives from the original data developed by Martin Newell in 1975. Beginning with a graph-paper sketch of a teapot that he kept on his desk, Newell calculated cubic Bezier splines to create a wireframe model." ---- The cubes might have been a reference to the Blender starting cubes... but they're just cubes so hard to tell. The frozen models are source models. I don't use them but using them allows you to play with duplicates without altering/damaging the originals or using more memory. And if you improve the source model that change carries over to the duplicates rather than having to update all of them manually... as I understand. So they get shoved off screen.

@@helicopterharry5101 They could also be dev cubes - in game development if you want something specific to happen in a single area, you often put that functionality on a default object (I've seen it being a white cube quite a few times) and place it out of bounds.
