    I've noticed that the group huddle before Karnak's death, Ocean is the only one facing out. It's confused me before; but I think that she's the only one facing out because she's taking her role as the group leader seriously: while everyone's clinging to each other as they plunge into Limbo (without Karnak to keep them in the real world,) she's being their shield ready to face where ever the group ends up in first. Which I think is sweet considering that she was ready to sacrifice everyone at the beginning of the play to bring herself back to life.

      But Karnak said that he only had enough power to reincarnate ONE a person. They were in purgatory from the Cyclone accident. The way I interpreted the ending was the other kids were heading to the next destination (whether you believe there is an afterlife/heaven or hell is up to you) on the same ride that took their lives.

      I think that she was actually brought into a brand new life given the existence of Lego land. Lots of the details that I have heard about legoland wouldn’t make sense if she was part of the choir. For example, we have no idea where her brother is/ her brother would’ve been able to identify who she was so she wouldn’t be Jane doe. I haven’t read the entire thing so I don’t know for certain I know they get sent to the school despite that but still.

      Since the Cyclone is a huge metaphor for life, especially in the song they are about to sing right after, his final message actually does make sense in context.
      In the face of reading the deaths of so many people, Karnak has learned there is a lot of confused random noise, but despite it, don’t forget to ride the cyclone (live).

    I like to think that the ending means that they are being returned to the moment before they hit the ground and die. But they all still remember the time in the warehouse with Karnak and everyone’s time expressing who they were. I think Penny remembers her time with Karnak as well; remembering being unable to recall who she was, just knowing that she was dead and unidentified. I think she lives her life with both survivor’s guilt and deep gratefulness to the rest of the choir.
    I also hope that when Penny dies after surviving, she is reunited with the choir.

  • @AliceNotFromWonderland
    @AliceNotFromWonderland Год назад +656

    My interpretation of the ending:
    The first part of the song is them accepting the fact that they’re dead forever and they had a life well spent. They appreciate it. Then the second part they start to accept and appreciate the afterlife and move on. They’re all happy and together and before the curtain closes they get back on the cyclone to finish the ride never got to (like unfinished business) and this time it doesn’t derail but safely brings them to the afterlife. When the curtain closes they arrive with Jane/Penny arriving in the real world reborn. Since she never got a life and they had one they both moved on. Just my thoughts

    I love the lyrics in this song. The first verse is kind of an objective commentary on life- no one wins or loses, no one measures how hard you try.
    The second verse sounds like life from a cynical point of view- sailing through space, just spinning in an insignificant loop.
    But the third verse really makes me cherish what I have, because that’s what the characters do. They recognize that maybe it really doesn’t matter, but they lived their lives the best they could anyway. You’re just supposed to be grateful for what you have because you don’t know when you’ll be gone. That’s why I love this song!

Would exsplain her spooky off-setting atmosphere and the song she sings at the end. Also just makes me think thats why we never actually saw her head. She was the opposite of karnak.

      I would argue Karnak does have good intentions for them, he even mentions in the fall fair version to show remorse for the kids deaths.
      If she wasn’t real I could see they’re working together but handle it differently. He’s more harsh with his words because he’s trying to teach them a lesson and recognize their faults, tricking them to help them. While Jane would be the kind one, gently pushing them to learn and grow through empathy. They both want the same thing, the kids to move on. But Karnak is bad cop and Jane would be good cop.

    GODS THIS SONG MADE ME CRY THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED
    They’re so HAPPY, they’re KIDS, I love when rtc reminds us that they’re KIDS. Like, Noel may be dramatic and adult, but he views the bad as something good, and Mischa may be a “Gangster” but he’s just a scared kid, or Ocean who just wants someone to care, and Constance who needs someone to actually see her, and Ricky who’s disabled yeah, but he still seeks CONNECTION.
    It’s such a good ending, they accept their fates, they have each other, they’ll figure it out, they’ll get through it despite what happened.
    I know a lot of people end it there, but I have a different interpretation of the ending.
    A mix of the reincarnation and the back to life theory.
    After their deaths, they’re sent like, back in time where they have no memories of the warehouse, they go back through their lives exactly the same as before, but RIGHT as they get to the fair, it all comes rushing back.
    They still have that character development, but they get to *live*.
    And you may ask “But they saw Jane’s life?” And, they did.
    What they didn’t realize, is that they were there too, just not in the super cut they saw.
    It’s wishful thinking, it’s me being too much of a sap to handle a bittersweet ending, but to me?
    It’s the best possible end :)
    (Also imagine them cracking jokes about it, like a teacher will drone for too long and Noel just whispers to Ricky “AND THATS WHY NOT EVERYBODY DESERVES A LIBRARY CARD”)

Penny can remember her time with Karnak in her new life. Penny realizes Talia is the Talia Mischa was singing about. Talia has not been with anyone since Mischa's death. Penny and Talia help find out what happened on the Cyclone.

    It's not a game
    Maybe that's news
    Cause no one will win here
    And no one can lose
    There's no one to measure
    Our foolish pride
    And no one keeps score
    Of how hard we tried
    This ride, it has heartbreak
    This ride, it has pain
    All kinds of blue skies
    No shortage of rain
    Yes, there is laughter
    And the telling of lies
    And maybe in darkness
    We open our eyes
    And you give and choose
    While you love and lose
    And you feel the world is spinning
    With no ending or beginning
    You just take a look around
    Take a look around
    Take a look around
    And round and round and round
    And now you're probably wondering, "What happens next?"
    That I couldn't possibly tell you
    But I will say this
    After reading thousands of human fortunes, my final insight is:
    Your lucky number is 7
    You will soar to great heights
    Be sure to ride The Cyclone
    We're just sailing through space
    There's no up or down
    So beautiful and strange
    But it's more than spinning round
    Yes, it's everything you loved
    And everything you dreamed
    And everything you shared
    And everything that seemed so
    Oh, so terrifying
    But it's not a game, it's not a game
    Whoa, no, no
    It's not a game, it's not a game
    It's just a ride
    It's just a ride
    We're all just sailing through space
    There's no up, there's no down
    It's all so beautiful and strange
    But so much more than spinning 'round
    Yes, it's everything you loved
    And it's everything you dreamed
    And it's everything you shared
    And it's everything that seemed so
    Oh, so terrifying
    Turning 'round
    It's just a ride
    It's just a ride
    And the world will keep on spinning
    With no ending or beginning
    So just take a look around
    Take a look around
    Take a look around
    And round and round and round
    I know this dream of life is never ending
    It goes around and round and round again

    This song literally gives me goosebumps, especially because of the choreography. I think it’s really sweet how they’re acting like kids and almost like they’re accepting their deaths. I noticed that Ricky (this may or may not have been intentional) was really joyful looking and more ecstatic than the rest of the choir, which i think is because 1.) he accepted his death and 2.) he can “live” being a kid (in that moment) without having to worry about anything. The “duo” that Ocean and Ricky have really shows their development during the musical, which I think is really sweet that they’re connecting. Also, the way Ocean faces out when the group is huddled up makes me think that she’s really taking responsibility for her actions and having leadership over the group, but in a “motherly figure” sort of way. One tiny thing is how all of their appearances changed from the beginning. Noel and Mischa looking happier than the beginning literally makes my heart so happy. The acceptance is really shown in the difference in their expressions and appearances from the beginning. One extra thing that I would like to add is that I like to think that the end is showing them finishing the rollercoaster ride that they never got to, and they can spend their afterlife in the carnival and doing all the things they never got to experience. I don’t have enough room to fit how many amazing things I noticed about this musical and how much I adore it, so this will have to do for now!

    I'd like to imagine after going through that portal they end up either getting another chance of life, all of them being born the same day and meeting up someday once again. Either that, or they go to an afterlife where they'll wait for Jane- i mean Penny to come back. Maybe theres some fun things, like a carnival or something. Rollercoasters probably.

  • @TheMaskedNate
    @TheMaskedNate 2 года назад +264

    Okay so to me it feels like- altho Karnak says he had the ability to bring back only one- something changed that! Maybe Karnak didn't all bring them back, but the portal opened yet again and Jane says take a look around- to then sing the opening
    "I know this dream of life is never ending- it goes around and round and round again."
    To me that sounds like them being brought back to life
    Also notice that unlike the beginning- the kids aren't reacting to the impact of the coaster crashing, but they're reaching to the sky and smiling- which to me looks like the coaster didn't break.

    I don't think Jane Doe ever existed in the first place. I think she represents the group's consciousness, which was at first ignored and not fully realised (or recognised) - thus, Jane Doe, unidentifiable, without a head and so the group had no identity. They are each prescribed a word which is synonymous with their personalities, which is actually their most distinct flaw: Ocean, the most successful girl in town, obsessed with her successes, Constance, the nicest girl in town, forever hiding herself behind her niceness and so on. However, when they finally learn their lesson, which Ocean earlier acknowledges every story has, Jane Doe, their conscience, is fully realised and is called Penny Lamb - who in Legoland is someone who, in summary, seeks purpose.

      At the beginning when karnak is playing the videos of when they were on the cyclone and the choir preforming, you can see her on the left side, though her face is never shown. And on the newspaper “Our six saints” she is on the left again but her face is scribbled out. I do love this theory though

    Seeing Mischa genuinely smile with the others near the end as they pass on makes me so emotional considering he's never really smiled that much throughout the musical.
