Why People LOVE Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus 

TADC community when Jax act like Jax:😃 TADC community when Jax act like Jax:😡

The thing about Jax is that he’s taken being trapped in the circus in the worst way possible. He knows nothing he does has any form of consequence. He can’t seriously hurt any other members of the circus and he can’t be hurt by them unless he abstracts. And we’ve seen that he gains stimulation from seeing other people in distress so that’s never going to happen. He has weaponised his nihilism and that makes he really interesting.

reasons why jax is the best character: -micheal kovach -micheal kovach - seems like he could have an interesting and fulfilling character arc -micheal kovach

I recall Goose tweeted he was going to do something unforgivable later in the season so it's gonna be interesting to see how much worse he can get.

2:39 "Because Jax is also purple-" *gets reminded of a certain purple serial killer who wears a rabbit suit*

Ragatha definitely deserves a video, she’s my favorite of the crew for just how nice and caring she is. She acts like the mom of the group especially for Pomni.

I feel like if anyone of the main cast turns out to secretly be an npc, it would be Gangle because she's the only one who has her emotions directly impacted by her digital form, while the other characters only seem to have physical changes.

I think I like Jax more now honestly, I like the chaos.

Not gonna lie, he feels like he’d be Waluigi’s fursona. Not only that, but he has Annoying Orange’s teeth.

I think he's a sociopath who only cares about himself, and him being sad at Kaufmo's death is him being scared of his own death, cause he wasn't like that when he abstracted, he had like a "oh well, gotta move it to it!" kinda feel to it. I think he's gonna play some sort of antagonist in the future of the series.

Fun fact: i actually realized Jax & Alastor are quite similar, & the fact that they're both the most favorite character's out of their own series is pointing more to that

Idk what gave anyone a subtle hint that Jax was a good person. Everything he does in the Pilot is antagonistic.

Tumblr Sexy men usually bring in a lot of fans lol. Him being chaotic and straightforward with his personality, but also hiding a (probably) sad backstory is very interesting! They're hiding their true feelings deep down to keep a chill front :P

Love him or hate him, Jax is a well written jerk and you've at least gotta appreciate that a little.

The irony is that there are now people that are upset with Jax since episode 2’s release, probably because they think his behavior in the episode killed their sexy man headcanons.

*The **_REAL_** question is **_"why the hell people love chaotic evil characters?!"_*

Given that Caine Thanos Snap Gummi Goo precisely because he was an NPC, it is unlikely Jax is an NPC.

Honestly I’m a good fan of Jax, he’s not one of my absolute favorites but he’s a pretty good character. I’m always a fan of antagonist or morally ambiguous characters, the polar opposite to our heroic or positive main characters. Bender of Futurama, Marcy, Lilith, Amity Hunter, Sasha Waybright, Catra, Bakugou, Alastor, and Zuko. Hopefully Jax will fit in with these guys.

Honestly i wouldn’t mind if Jax did grow and become a bit nicer as long as he kept his snarky somewhat chaotic fun personality.

As someone who has no problem landing in various situations, realizing said situation, immediately understanding and adapting to said situation's environment, and not caring what tomorrow brings or what happened yesterday because I'm having too much fun now. Jax is my spirit animal.

So, for me there are two possibilities for the Caine line about the NPCs. 1. That one of the characters are an NPC or 2. There will be an episode that Caine believes one of them to be an NPC I honestly believe that it's going to be number 2, a plot where an NPC disguises as one of the members or causes Caine to become paranoid, I don't think they would make someone from the show an NPC but it's a good set up for a Trial/Doppelganger plot line.

I like how his like Angel Dust from the Pilot, while Angel in the show is more insecure why hides it under a facade.

From what I recall as to what Gooseworx said, I’m interested with how worse Jax can get in the show later and see how it turns out later. Definitely a fun jerk character.

I like his shave, sly, sarcastic, and mischievous actions

Personally, the reason why I like jax is because the person who voices he is the same person who voices angel dust in the Hazbin hotel pilot

I do like how Jax acts as the leader of the digital circus crew.

Jax is perfect the way he is. I love him❤

Welll, people are starting to dislike him now because he's more of a jerk than in the pilot. All I have to say is, THATS WHAT HES SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE Nevermind, he mentioned it😔

He’s funny but he’s kind of overrated in my opinion

I showed my sister the pilot for tadc and the first thing she said when she saw Jax was haven't I seen him😂

Jax is like the Cheshire cat if he was chaotic evil

Jax is "choatic neutral". D&D fans should know what I mean.

Jax is like the Eric Cartman of The Amazing Digital Circus.

Great analysis! I also like the comparison with Eddy's brother. This really helped me write my own characters and stuff too.

Yeah Jaz is 90% of the fans favourite character me included

6:00 The TADC crew definitly toned up his mean-ness, though I personally still have him as my favorite character.

As much as I like Jax’s wildness, he can be a bit much sometimes in my opinion, so he’s in the Top 5 for me. My Top 5 list goes in this order (least to best): Ragatha, Jax, Kinger, Gangle, and Gummigoo.

6:33 Holy cow, I didn't even notice that. It's so subtle and quick. Poor Jax does have feelings...

I love his chaotic energy 💜

1:52 BIG CHUNGUS

Some people love Jax and some people don't. The way he treats other people like crap can be funny to some people, but after Episode 2 came around, he became a hated character even though he's supposed to be a jerky character. I still love Jax though.🐰💜

I was so thinking that Jax seemed a lot like Alastor . I’m glad I’m not alone.

Finally someone who gets Jax the way I do. He knows that the only threat is abstracting. Just don't abstract and nothing bad happens. He's perfectly well adjusted to life in the Circus.

IMO: awesome character design, voice and animations. That's all you need sometimes, really.

2:43 wait that was my exact thought when i first watched the first episode!!! glad to see i'm not the only one :D

Jax is my fav carachter

Early! Love your videos

Personally, I like Jax just because of the way he is. Not really that complicated. In fact, I'd like to see an episode where he gets everything he wants in an adventure, for two reasons. Firstly, because it would most likely be cool/funny as hell. Secondly, because it would give us a bit of a look into what happens when he gets everything he wants in something like an adventure. That would likely go a long way in developing his character.

I myself see Jax as indirectly inspired by Max, from Sam & Max Fame. They may not seem TOO similar, but they're both rabbity things, with big shit-eating grins.

He's just enjoying the moment, not a phone in sight. He's literally me!

Jax is voiced by pilot Angel dust with a Personality of Alastor 🤔 No wonder he is my favorite character 😂😂😂

Why was the first part with SpongeBob quite literally me Jax is so hot

0:02 ONG THIS IS ME 🗣📢🔥🔥🔥❗️❗️

We love him because he provides us all the misery it’s required for great humor

0:28 Yeah Anne from Amphibia 0:29 Yep Luz from TOH.

Jax to me is a chaos being that makes whatever and let me tell you, Jax in episode 2 literally was hated so much like idk why, all he did was be like in the pilot and I still like him for what he does.

I can’t wait for gwimbly to show up in the digital circus

Personally I don't like Jax bc him bullying Gangle hits home to me but I can see why people love him and I also think it works better in the world of TADC. Considering ayylmao just made a 'drama' about people not liking him I am glad to see this video.

Honestly, Ajax reminds me a lot of Patches from dark souls, a seemingly normal person from first glance, but has a sadistic nature and keeps themselves alive by causing others pain

I knew about Poppy the Performer since last July 2023. Played the entire series in the background and yes it was pretty funny, which is shocking for an adult watching a japanese kids cartoon from the 00's.

i think cane's remark is alluding to that he may have deleted an actual human in the past thinking it was an npc

I think he's the more afraid of them all so he's act like this to cope, like many people do in real life. People who act though and bully are often showing they are strong and don't care because they are deep down, very afraid.

"Ooh,violence" -Jax

when you really think about it, jax acts kinda like jonah in episode 2

I’m interested in seeing what unforgivable thing Jax will do. It will still probably hurt my feelings if Jax betrays them all or something but I still want to know. Also, I’m oddly thinking about Pomni explaining things to poor Gummigoo and knowing about glitches, collisions, and stuff despite having amnesia.

I just like this voice :)

Real Chad's be enjoying the gummy g.o.a.t.: gummigoo ✊

i do think that jax is a human, given his canonical age which he wouldnt have if he was an npc, and reason he feels like a villain archetype is that he is just playing the digital circus like a gta-esque game. whilst pomni is the main character of the *show* it feels like jax is the main character within the universe, especially during adventures. he tends to control a lot that happens, from deciding who deals with the gloinks and who visits kaufmo, which the others dont seem to question from him, to controlling basically the entire mad max part of the candy adventure. he feels like a main character in a sandbox game, taking full advantage of the lack of consequences for his actions.

If you ask me it makes sense to have at least one guy in a group of adults who are trapped in a children’s game who’s kind of a dick about it.

2:00 Or you know it could be a nod to another video game rabbit, Max from Sam & Max.

0:00 got me bruh 😭😂

Max makes me feel some kind of way

I’ve Sean the allegorical essays! I know that Jax is LITERALLY Judas

Might just be my take, but main characters are often never the fan favourite. I haven't seen Steven Universe but Sasha, Marcy and Amity seem way more popular than their respective main characters

I don't like how Jax treated gangle in the truck during the chase. I feel like he did too much there, like he was TOO mean. If he was less mean but still mean during that scene, I'd still like him. Basically, my only problem with his actions in episode 2 was that I feel he was overly mean to Gangle, and I feel they could have toned it back a bit. Sorry if I'm repeating myself.

I like kinger, zooble, and jax

Jax will never be what Wario has become 🙏🙏

Wait someone that is purple and has to do wif rabbits purple guy

I believe Ragatha is an NPC. The ‘figure’ Jax mentioned to Gangle could be her NPC model

He legit looks like William -

Please do a Gummigoo video. I miss him so much.

I think his full name is Jackass but ADC censored it

cool

How to make a character the internet loves: An actual chaos and trauma gremlin😃

Aside from Poppy the Performer, I feel like Jax was partly inspired by Raggedy Andy, Roger Rabbit, & Gorrister from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

In essence, people like Jax because he's a murderhobo

Something interesting about Jax is that his mouth is (almost)always closed.That may be intentional to show that he is hiding something.That's just a theory tho.

As I sit here thinking of gummygoo

I like him because reminds me of blitz from Helluva Boss

He may be my least favorite character mostly because by how he treats others. However, he is the most entertaining and most funny for me to watch. He make situations very chaotic and it makes the episode more memorable (imo), same with the pilot. I am intrigue to learn more about him since every character has a reason for why they act.

I dont think Jax in an NPC, Gooswoorx said in a tumblr post that Jax's first day in the circus did NOT go well, so he most likely just popped in like Pomni did, (Gooswoorx also said that Jax most likely picked his own name instead of him being given one)

Gangle is a Npc I’m calling it

What if bubble is the secret npc?

Jax is much more bloodthirsty in "Candy Carrier Chaos", totally willing to set a monster upon a whole kingdom and gleefully wanting to watch the carnage. Unlike Pomni, who has seen just how alive the NPCs can be, Jax probably treats the circus like it's an actual game, much like Grand Theft Auto. He sees no issue in harming NPCs in horrific ways because in his mind, they aren't real humans like him.

To VGMarkis: Was that clip from Seinfeld? 6:06

Here are a few more reasons why people predict that he's an NPC: - Jax seems to be able to mysteriously pickpocket any key and knows how to unlock rooms. It could just be cartoon hijinks, but according to Ragatha's response to him in the episode when he pulled out the key, there was absolutely no way for him to be able to do that. - the official pin set includes backing cards that show the inside of all of the characters' rooms, except for Jax's. Instead the door is locked, his icon on the door is broken and it is ripped up with The Void. - while all of the other characters' are able to withstand being injured, Jax is the only one who can't. The one time in the show that he was injured - when Zooble strangled him in the pilot - he was unable to speak.

I would love to see Jax turn from an immature jerk (who i love) to someone still playful but more respectful of others boundaries. It's obvious that Jax picks on mostly Gangle because she has a hard time defending herself (especially with her emotional instability) and sees everything as a game but I don't think that's the full reason. I have a few theories for his behavior: Theory 1. Jax is jealous of her. Maybe her being able to show vulnerability and yet be so loved by other people is something Jax hates as he thinks he shouldn't or is unable to show that vulnerability because of how others would treat him. Theory 2. Jax thinks he's "protecting" Gangle. Maybe he sees his former self in Gangle or experienced trauma for/after being emotionally vulnerable, so by mistreating her he rationalizes that he's helping her not abstract and develops "thick skin." Theory 3: Jax thinks he's a burden to others and would cause more suffering if he were to abstract if people actually liked him. He acts like a jerk to others so people don't miss him when he's gone but secretly does have that desire for connection. Some people think him not showing up at Kaufmo's funeral is just because he feels bad about harrassing someone/caused him to abstract but I think it's more than that. I think how loving everyone was at Kaufmo's funeral made him upset, as they not only lost another member but that definitely won't be happening to him despite him thinking he "wants" that fate. This I think is the most likely because he's also 22, college age and in my eyes still a teen. Your teens to young adult years are when you see the most validation from others

I just like Jax as a whole. I'm weird like that lmao

Jax is literally my little brother to a T

Jax is definitely among my top 3 favorite main characters in TADC (so, Gummigoo is excluded in this case.) I really hope he'll be redeemed in later episodes character-wise, but it's not likely. Also, I'd definitely buy Kinger a coffee. ☕️ Poor guy has been trapped the longest & deserves a break.
