The writers really wanted to emphasize that this is psychological horror, just in case no one got it in the first episode.

The most shocking part to me is that people are acting like Jax wasn't a jerk in the pilot. He was going out of his way to break Gangle's comedy mask more, putting centipedes in Ragatha's room, throwing bowling balls at Kinger. If anything, we got to see a split second of Jax's softer side in this episode

I love the way that a quick gag, Pomni falling on the block and getting launched into the ceiling, wasn't just a quick gag. She remembers it, and realizes she can use the debug blocks to launch the truck.

Jax was clearly the Bender of the group from the start. A fucking asshole nobody would like in real life, but charismatic enough to be likable in fiction.

they gave me a himbo...just to take him away I shall get my vengence

I love that it's adult animation that actually has mature themes and writing and isn't just another irreverent sitcom with crude humor and ugly characters.

I watched this with my grandpa and he said “this is such a young person’s show. When you’re young, living in this world feels like hell because it takes your potential away from you. When you’re old, and you’ve lived your life and fulfilled your potential, you just want to live. This world is heaven to the older folks because it’s eternal life and fun.” This blew my mind.

I just realized each character matches the stages of grief Denial: Ragatha Anger: Jax Bargaining: Pomni Depression: Comedy and tragedy Acceptance: Kinger

TADC fans when the “Bad Boy” character is actually being a bad boy: 😧😭😡🤬

Bubble trying to quit smoking was the funniest joke of the episode. 😂

Caine is not a villain but he is basically the saying “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” he’s an AI that doesn’t know how to properly help the humans who get trapped there and is unintentionally hurting them

Caine's reason for deleting Gummigoo leads to another horrifying point that I've only seen a few people mention: That means he doesn't have a built-in way to identify who in the virtual world is what. Caine not having access to ID tags or documentation about the entities in the world he's supposedly controlling is a major sign he's not supposed to be the one in charge...

I love how the whole fandom thought that Gummigo was going to be part of the main cast but he ended up exploding and disappeared by Caine once he stepped foot into the circus

GummiGoo made me cry 😭 Neither him nor Pomni deserved that

ngl the moment he and pomni started talking i immediately knew he was gonna die. then when pomni said "maybe you can come to the circus!" i was like "oh Caine is gonna obliterate this man-" i still love him tho-

It’s a dark comedy and psychological horror, they’ll probably end each episode with Pomni going insane. I can see one of two outcomes… she abstracts, or she becomes “too insane to abstract,” like Kinger. I can say, I am definitely hopeful that Gummigoo returns sometime in future episodes. And also, I sure hope that him exploding was just a teleportation and that his memories aren’t wiped. But I definitely will say, that part was sad.

One thing that was really sad to me about the Pomni/Gumigoo friendship was the fact that Pomni said 'I could use a friend'-- seemingly innocuous, but also exposes the fact that she doesn't consider anyone else at the circus to be a 'friend'. Makes it all the more crushing when her one new friend is zapped out of existence and makes her feel super alone once again ;x But, on the flipside, gives the ending a tinge of sweetness alongside the bitterness of losing our gator guy when Pomni accepts the reality that she's NOT alone, and that even if she can't exactly relate to the other people trapped here, they do all share the same struggle x,3

Caine: "It's so sad that Kaufmo died of ligma." Gummigoo: "Who the $#&% is Kaufmo?" Caine: "Ligma balls." (snapped)

12:24 Caine was literally boasting about his "new more immersive AI" at the start of the episode... Jax said he wanted to break it so he would probably be pretty shocked to hear how Gumigoo broke on his own for a while, then put on an agitated front that he didn't get to do it himself.
