Why Everyone Loves GumiGoo (And HATES Jax) 

Kinda funny that the AI character is the most human one

I feel like I would hate Jax if he was a person in my life, but I still love him as a character bc he makes me laugh and comedy is gold to me, so.

Eh, I kinda knew that he would be more of a jerk down the line, but Gummigoo did *truly* take the cake. Hopefully, he’ll be back somewhere down the line.

Because people dont notice the red flags Jax has, making their own version of him and the fact the creator confirms he DESERVES TO BE THERE which people just gloss over until this epicode shows them that he isnt missunderstood at all.

I feel like everything that happens in the show happens for a reason. There’s a lot going on beneath the surface so we don’t know a whole lot about Jax or much of the crew until later. Gumigoo’s death is tragic but I feel like this’ll play a big role in future episodes. If anything, I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.

In Jax’s defense, nothing he really does matters. In his eyes the AI aren’t people (and the only proof he has that they aren’t he didn’t see), that and none of the players can die. He’s still a jerk but it’s understandable why he just… doesn’t care.

I think what Goose is doing with Jax isn't a bad writing decision because I think she has plans for him. I think people are quick to say he's badly written. The show isn't done yet

From what i understand, people considered jax the hottest in the digital circus until gummigoo appeared. Thats it really i dont have much else to say

The Amazing Digital Circus: Successfully writes a true sociopathic monster that has no morals, and has given up on any and all goals beyond causing death and destruction. He was born withouth the capacity to feel empathy, and his situation has only allowed him to indulge into his avsolute worst aspects. Everyone else: Thats terrible writing!

For some reason everyone ignores that it is confirmed by Gooseworks herself that Jax is just an asshole. She already teasered that he'll become worse every episode, has no heroic traits whatsoever and deserves to be trapped in the digital world the most out of all the humans trapped with him. The fanbase had too much time creating fanfictions, and now that they can see the actual canon, they hate it because it interferes with their own headcanons.

5:36 to be fair my guess is he put on a happy face for Pomni aka the one person who truly cared about him. If he wasn’t ya know… 🎉 I totally bet in future episodes he’d have some of the those feelings, especially if he had witnessed Kaufmos funeral. Another reason why I really wish he wasn’t offed at the end of the ep, I really wanted to see where his character would go.

I still like Jax, but only because im a die hard Negan fan, and i also love the violent but lovable sociopath stereotype (yes i know that looks bad, fight me!)

I honestly don't get the hate. The literal CREATOR of the show talked about how he was a total jerk and SAID that there was nothing heroic about him, and now people are hating him as if it was never going to be a thing before. People got mad because someone elses character wasn't how they wanted, but that just isn't how things work and people need to except that.

You know what jax reminds me of? Handsome jack from borderlands, why? Because he isn't a normal jerk, is a dangerous jerk who fancies himself as a good guy. Jack is an absolute showoff on top of being vile and violent, he is extremely funny, because he enjoys being comedic, and has fun being the 'good guy' of the tale while acting like a monster. I'd be surprised if jax does enter the degree of vile that handsome jack displays even at his less 'deranged' (before we learned what he's been doing with another couple important characters), but as a base? Getting pretty close.

Nah, Jax‘s hate is unjustified. It‘s not like he put Pomni or the others in real danger, he just messed with the AI

I feel like I’m one of the only people who love Jax honestly he’s a great character and most people are upset because there headcannons are incorrect Caine has also done much worse cough cough ….he killed Gummingo

The people that ship Pomni x Jax switch to Pomni X Gumigoo after ep2, I wonder why?

A bit too early for Jax to get a redemption arc. Like 4-5 episodes too early.

People coping with/for Jax fr like "ep 2 he didnt have his redemption arc must be a NPC" is what im getting from people who think Jax is a NPC

People don't hate Jax. Twitter community hates Jax. Loud minority.

I don’t think jax is going to change because a lot of the episodes are already planned and scripted. I think him getting meaner is intentional even if people hate it for some reason.

The thing about Jax is that he's like Daffy Duck but without one KEY element. Daffy's a pompous greedy jerk but he always gets what he deserves (Pain) because more times that naught he's in the wrong. Jax is Daffy if he never suffered from his wrongful actions which makes him just not fun to watch compared to everyone else.

6:12 people seems too underestimate the cruelty of man.

I don't know. I've always liked Jax, as I've always enjoyed seeing unapologetically jerkish characters. I think its fun to see them let lose on the others, and see how they bounce off the cast.

My best guess is that we saw Gummigoo go through several different emotions in one episode while Jax is just “chaos and being a jerk=fun for me and me alone.”

"And HATES Jax" bite your tongue

Caine massively dropped in my eyes because of his actions in this episode. Sure, the argument could be made that Gumigoo was artificial, so it can't be considered like actual murder, but even so, he was Caine's creation, his responsibility, yet he just wiped him from the board like it was nothing. Once an AI reaches the point where they can be believably human in thought and behaviour, how we treat them is going to need to be better 😟

I find it funny how everyone criticizes Jax for being an unlikable asshole, but not Loona

people think Jax is an NPC, idk why they think like that, cuz really Jax, in his merch art kinda feels like an NPC cuz of his poster's background but then again you people forget the fact kinger has a room for himself but doesn't sleep in and Jax doesn't probably, so Jax in the end probably has a room but doesn't sleep in but he probably sleeps somewhere else.

The reason Jax doesn't appear to have any depth would probably be because he doesn't have a reason to show any. All character development would have already happened before Pomni arrived. Its just more of the same fake adventures in the fake world. Except there was a single frame of him caring about Koufmo, when they mentioned the funeral.

Everyone hates me for now on

I love Jax and think Gumigoo is ok.

Fandom's reaction when the character hinted to being an asshole turns out to be an asshole I don't know why people act surprised. This is the second episode he's not suddenly gonna show a deeper meaning for his actions. It took 4 episodes of a poorly paced show such as Hazbin to let us find out why he acts so dick-ish too. I know, he's the fan favourite, people wanna see HIS character growth but in the show we're not here for that right now. We still had to give Pomni room to breathe. People start making theories about why he acts so cynical, which haven't been proven false by the way, but when that isn't confirmed right away and nothing changes in 20 minutes it's suddenly the most hated character in the series and the series is written poorly. I love the internet. Also something that could explain his aggresive behaviour is how he was forced into the activity. He didn't want to participate in the activity of the pilot either, only joining Gangle and Kingler in order to hide from Kaufmo. He gets angry when ONE gloink hits him so his immediate decision to follow Pomni and Ragatha makes sense as an effort to avoid the gloinks. He's similar to Zooble like that, except not as obvious Here, however, Caine outright forced him to go, which might explain the aggresivity and the desire for violence and outright destroying the kingdom Caine created

Honestly though, I feel like this is kind of overblown, he didn’t do anything mind-boggling, he just was a douche and a nuisance to his circus friends and few times. I actually really like the direction they went with him. To me, it makes sense that a human trapped in some weird digital realm for possibly years would crave any kind of new entertainment, even if it makes his friends day worse. Imagine how boring it must be I don’t justify that mindset but I feel like his behavior can be logically explained and I don’t get people who say that he’s a robot just because he wants the violence. His character isn’t flat at all imo. How can we even judge that when only two episodes released? I feel like it would be considerably more boring without Jax to boss everyone around and be his annoying little prick self.

4:34 "The only time he gets genuinely angry is when short arms over here is just messing about making Pizza Tower references instead of helping" LMFAO Bro this had me DYING with laughter like I legit could not breathe u earned my sub just for that joke alone

after watching episode 2 I really wanted Jax and more so Caine to die horribly.

i still like jax as both a person and a character

I like Jax even after episode two HATE ME IN THE COMMENTS I DARE U because his villain personality fits him he’s just ur classic style villain who just wants chaos we don’t get those often anymore in 2024 so it’s nice to see it

I don't hate jax

😐: Talk about Jax 🤩: Talk about Gummigoo

Jax is my favorite because of episode 2

I thought Jax was gonna be like Bender, a lovable jerk, but then again goose did say he'd do something unforgivable, so maybe he's just a jerk. I think people prefer Gummigoo because one he's relatable, two nicer, and three aussie

jax.

What a liar! Not everybody hates Jax!

Kinger is the best character though, there's no doubt.

Jax started as the character we love to hate to the least favorite character. No wonder Jax is trapped into this "hell"

I don’t hate Jax I just think he is a little mean

2:19 i think he's relateable

Jax is just Bugs Bunny if his jackass level was cranked to 11

I still like Jax(though he is definitely a rotten a-hole). I hate Caine the most and will never forgive him.

I hate Jax because I've had my fair share of tormentors and one of them just so happened to be named Jax. Like spelled the exact sam way.

Jax did not change between episode 1/2

I don’t really care about both of them

What’s your name by the way?

People liked jack's?

I feel like removing the violence lines would have done a massive favor to building on his character.
