    Early on, it's revealed that Kinger glows when he holds his breath. At the end of the adventure, as he and Pomni hold their breath in order to pass safely through the last leg of the mansion, Pomni looks up at him and finds him absolutely bathed in soft golden light, a literal beacon in the darkness.

    Kinger trusted Pomni enough to let her know about Queenie, only after a view days of her being in the circus, shows how close their bond became. It's sad that Kinger will forget their bonding, but set's the start for Pomni to OPEN UP to others, starting with Ragatha, something she struggled before. I feel really bad for him and I'm happy that he get's more love from the Fandom from now on.

    I find it interesting that "God's angel" looks horrifying while Kinger finds peace and sanity in the dark, both of which are usually associated with the opposite. Also Kinger glowing bright ethereal light as he leads Pomni out of literal digitally reconstructed hell is definitely a metaphor for something that I'm missing.

Notice how he holds the shot gun and when pomni walks past him he holds it away from her. Also during the auto tape the man mentions accidentally shooting his wife thinking she was the monster. Something a lot of veterans can relate to or afraid of due to ptsd. Potentially hurting their loved ones during a ptsd episode.

    I will say that I don't think they were trying to achieve die at the beginning of the episode. They knew that each character had a different reaction to holding their breath for a while, and wanted to see Pomni's. They also (*explicitly*) wanted to help her to see that she didn't actually need to breathe anymore. In addition to all of this, you *can't* (under normal circumstances) die from holding your breath for too long. Unless you're drowning or suffocating, you'll eventually pass out and start breathing normally again.

    Personally I thought that the reason Caine couldn’t remember is, like he said, because it’s a problem he’s “solved”, and it showcases his lack of humanity. Though he does care about people’s feelings, and overall is rather human, if he sees an issue as solved, he physically is incapable of finding a new solution because he doesn’t see it as a problem, and therefore doesn’t see it as needing a solution.

    • @Broomer52

      Caine says as much and said that he doesn't remember because he already solved that problem. Caine is an entertainer for children, he has no skill with adult problems and is certainly not capable of taking care of everyday human needs. He's doing the only thing he was made to do and thinking about how he's not doing a good job of it is existentially crushing for him.

      Zooble wasn't there to choke him and no one tied him up so we were left with a long stretch of the episode watching him be a menace which got old real quick.

    Kinger had great character development in this episode especially when he told Pomni about what happened with his wife Queenie before being abstracted, he even protected her with his shotgun and saved her from being possessed. He acted like a father figure to Pomni. Or maybe grandfather figure since he's been in the Circus the longest.🤩😊

    I don't think of the caine stuff in this episode, as him "being insecure about other people's opinions", I rather take it as him questioning his purpose. It started with Zooble questioning why he makes these adventures for the gang to go on, in the first place, followed by him questioning it himself, emphasis being put on "what AM I good at then?". It's potentially a setup for the digital Circus breaking down, as a result of self-awareness (since caine represents the digital Circus itself).

      That was my exact same impression too! Especially with how he talks about memory and how important it is Pomni remembers even if he doesn't. It comes across as a very well done (non-explicit) example of Alzheimer's in fiction to the point that I can think of other examples of something like it being done (Ice King is a very obvious example, Allie from the Notebook and Bluestar from Warrior Cats are more explicit, with the latter meant to show more agitation) but there's few I can think of that hit so well, so close to home, and all in as little of time. Absolutely heart wrenching, especially for those who know/have lost loved ones, but beautifully done all at the same time.

  • @lostcrusader8053

    I’m worried that this is a setup on what’s to come. Especially when Kinger tells Pomni to hold the memories with people, who are close with you, when they’re gone. Given that this is an inspiration to I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, I pray Pomni will not suffer the same in the ending.

    I honestly really like Baron Mildenhall as a villain. He tricked both Pomni and Kinger to both trigger the angel into following them (telling them never to let the angel's severed head out of their sights… in a *completely separate room* from said head), providing them a shotgun knowing that they'd obviously use it to shoot the monster chasing them, *conveniently* not revealing the consequences of that until after they did it, and uses this as an opportunity to steal their bodies to escape. Pretty good plan NGL

      what's also fun he's so far the least comedic villain, aside from the one joke where he promised not to jumpscare pomni.
      it also further drives the contrast between him and his wife, what little we see of her. His wife is a kind and sweet woman who just likes having tea with guests, while her husband's a selfish asshole willing to drag people to hell to save himself and, potentially (asusming it was him possessing pomni), mocking Kinger about his wife for no reason, as well as the fact his whole storyline is far darker and scarier than what we've seen even aside from what his wife's side of things is

Kinger and Pomni becoming bros was not on my bingo card, but I love it, and I'm so glad she's actually TRYING to be friends with Ragatha now. Like, just that little acknowledgement of hey, I see you, I know how hard you're trying to keep us all together and I appreciate you for it was super sweet. I am ALSO looking forward to Gangle-or maybe Zooble, that could be fun, too-taking Jax down a peg or two, but I'm not the biggest Jax fan, so that could be me. XD

    I got a running theory that the reason kinger gets some memories back in the dark is cuz Caine’s ALL SEEING EYES can’t see in the dark and if he can’t see u he can’t control your memories.
    Also Caine wants Kingers memories cranked cuz he’s the only one with code knowledge and could possibly override Caine influence…

    Kinger may just be the most sympathetic character in the entire show.

Kinger on the other hand is a true angel.

  • @Silentgrace11
    @Silentgrace11 3 часа назад

    I just loved this episode. It just touches on some very real topics that very logically fit here and have been alluded to all throughout. Kinger’s trauma over the loss of his wife and the parallels to dementia he experiences as a result, and it being played both for reasonable laughs (not at him necessarily but at the result of his antics) but also allowing him some really serious moments that shows he really, truly cares about the others and helping them through a trauma that he’s been there the longest to see. Then there’s Zooble with their body dysphoria (I think you used the term dysmorphia, but I wonder which one it’s technically be closer to since dysphoria would reflect the body not actually being theirs to begin with) and the clear depression that has accompanied it. And not to mention the clear limitations were seeing with Cain’s programming and how he genuinely means well to whatever extent he’s programmed to, but he also is doomed to operate in a cycle of what he is designed to do rather than being able to operate outside of the box. And how Zooble doesn’t take it out on him for the most part, probably in part because they acknowledge that he literally can’t do anything outside of this. They’re annoyed with him and don’t want to be involved, but you can tell they’re not actively antagonizing him over it, just not wanting to have a conversation they’ve likely had dozens of times before.

Think like Clippy or Siri or etc. Because of this, Kaine was never designed to really make the games fully on his own but was given the command to at some point, or maybe even the game creator asked the game to make a character who does that and it chose to personify the programs logo. Something akin to that my current guess

    Me and my friends had a couple theories about Kinger. My friend thinks that Kinger was one of the main devs of the circus but since he has been trapped in there the longest his character is running out of ram which gives him the crazy memory loss. This is also proven because apparently the screen going dark helps computers run better. My other theory is that Kingers wife wasn't a dev but Kinger wanted to show her what he was working on and they both got shoved in, so Kinger blames himself because she would have never been apart of this without him

There’s no “who are you talking to” or “he just does that sometimes” moment. Either way, they’re just used to it. It could even be to an in show audience and not us.
