Yeah, I don't think any of the worlds Caine created before were the size of a universe, I was talking more about the culmination of them all and the fact that they expand more and more in the ending (Because Caine sustains everything)
Seems pretty clear to me, "This character was shamed for their 'fragile' masculinity and being less of a man than their father for liking what they like, and even in their deepest fears, their problems are presented much more like sexually oriented than gender oriented, so the conclusion is that, the character IS less of a man, and actually a woman", that sounds completely contrary to what the character arc implies. And it's not like that headcanon is bad, I have no problems with it, but people WILL demand us to change the profiles to accommodate it
Oh c’mon. It’d be so funny!
When characters outright got confirmed to be trans people were still at each other's throats. In this case it's vague enough that they'll be at each other's... idk what comes after throats
"Show don't tell" people when they show and don't tell
Either confirm it outright or don't and stay true to the show don't tell part. Simple as that.
i feel like the whole ribbit stuff and being referred to as 'she' during the flashback segment was enough to kinda get the point across, but that's just me. And that stuff is just in the final episode.
I already understand.
Also, mickey ahh ending too, because logically they'd have to unabstract everyone, that would be poop from a butt
Then they should commit to it. I came in with an expectation that Jax either will die or will live. I was honestly expecting it to be full on death. Instead we got... whatever abstraction is, not quite death, not quite life, some hellish limbo.
Abstraction has always been the only thing these digital copies could suffer that's even remotely close to death. Did you expect them to go to the hard drive and delete Jax's mind files? What. Yeah, that's the tragedy. He is a digital copy, so he's not dead per say because he's just 1s and 0s, that's the bittersweetness of it all.
I think it's like when a file is completely corrupted and you can no longer restore it; Caine can only restore files up to a certain point.
Then they would just be other copies and not themselves.
I even wrote a pretty long text, but I realized I just don't have the sensitivity for it.
The problem is that they aren't just files, they're people. Caine simply creating a clone of the abstracted people to replace them would only make things worse.
They are not people. People are real-life versions of them. They are just brain scans of living beings, but they themselves are not living beings.
Literally the entire plot of the series happens because they are sentient beings.
That's a cold take
The whole plot of the series is about how they are still people even in this digitalized space, because they have free will, they have dreams and aspirations. Being made out of flesh is NOT what makes one human
