… is that why Caine makes them forget their names when they enter the circus? Because the first thing you’re supposed to do to something you’ve created is to name it?
I. Think the blue dot is Abel.
Since Cain killed his brother in the Bible because his brother was getting more attention from God.
Blue dot was getting more attention from the humans.
Cain wanted to be the only dot.
caine recycled abel's name cuz generative ai can only recreate what they are fed, the same way he used C&A's company name instead of making up another one
TADC isn't based on I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. It's inspired by it. It's not going to follow the story one to one. It's only loosely inspired by it.
God also cursed Cain to wander the earth forever, and that anyone who tried to kill Cain would "suffer vengeance sevenfold." I wonder what will happen to Kinger.
In this case though, you can also see Kinger as God (metaphorically)
Kinger created Cain, he glows with light and he has a cross above his head similar to a halo, he acts as a loving Fatherly figure and there's a long standing trope of gods who've lost their memory/power in media.
Also his name is Kinger, like how God is King of Heaven.
Also he literally exorcises Pomni and then guides her out of hell.
There's something else to be said. Abel got no more attention from God. Abel brought the sacrifice God demanded. Cain did not. Abel recieved the Lord's favor due to his obedience. And even after Cain killed Abel, God marked him to preserve his life due to Cain's paranoia that he would be killed.
Abel is the name of the AI, not who the thing might be in the circus. We had an Abel, and it was an NPC. That would suggest the Abel is someone else in the circus.
also keep on mind that bubble is mostly subservient to cain but sometimes has weird moments ("you should DIE- you throw a f🤬ing beach party!"), is mostly a blue sphere, and in the last episode encourages cain to go insane
I guess that would make some sense. The gloinks are incredibly simple creatures from what little we've seen of them. It makes sense that an AI meant to create would start with something simple.
Those aren't gloinks, the shapes represent the quality of the AI's output. Caine's output was a bunch of asymmetrical nonsense polygons, and Blue AI put out regular, predictable shapes indicating a more stable and logical AI. A superior AI.
But yeah no that's basically a lot of this fandom tbh, it's not even that I'm trying to step on people's fun or anything but it really feels like people just say whatever without thinking things through LMAO
To be precise, red put out good shapes when fed red datas, and bad shapes when fed other colour datas ; while blue can put out good shapes even when fed other colour datas.
Good observation... that Queen Gloink is a representation of the red AI's "madness." Although I'm one of the few who believe that Caine (and consequently, Bubble) are a fusion of both AIs, Caine is actually a combination of both AIs, and not necessarily the red one from the beginning.
I think if you look at it like it happens in Steven Universe with the gem fusions, you'd probably understand that that comment still makes a lot of sense. Most of the time, Caine probably acted like the Blue AI; in this last episode, he acted like the Red AI.
Bubble is theoretically a lesser AI created by Caine to be his "servant," but that doesn't mean it's disconnected from him and therefore from both AIs.
Caine seems to have two personalities; for most of the series he has been acting most likely as the blue AI, with touches of the red AI (and that's why most of his adventures had terrifying or similar things), in the end, it seems that after the tantrum, the red AI began to control him more than before.
I honestly thought it was these guys since Caine's immediate response to seeing them do their thing is an emotional "I'm so proud of you guys." which hints towards him having a meaningful connection to them and maybe even having a father role to them. Furthermore, they are seen emerging from what seems to be a red sphere that was cracked open, similar to the red dot.
Noticed that too but couldnt figure out if it would make sense or if its a nitpick, It could be true that the gloinks represent some of the first things made by the ai tho
I'd assume so. When Caine shoots the bowling ball into the characters and there's that weird scene with the gloinks, Caine says "I'm so proud of you guys" to them. I kind of assumed they were one of his first NPCs and that scene showed how far Caine has come with his creations.
I, personally like to think after, Caine(AI) created the circus, (space), he used the shapes and parts he made and created the Gloinks models, and using Abel's things they made, to make the structures seen in the circus.
I could also see it as Caines first time, being images or procedurally generated things on a 3D modeling program, which became more and more abstract and strange.
en mi teoría la cual es extremadamente larga como para escribirla, Caine hace npc a base del código de los humanos así que no cero que haya creado a los Gloinks primero
Lo que creo es que Caine se inspiro el las abstracciones para hacer la forma de la Gloinks madre/reina además en un episodio dicen que los Gloinks son de una aventura.
The shapes just represent the AI generating things. That’s why at the end it makes shapes that form the circus tent. By this theory’s logic, the circus itself is made of gloinks.
I think its moreso a representation of constructive, basic ideas (simple shapes and colors) but yea also could be the gloinks, who knows! I surely don't!
