Hello Tumblr fellas! I got convinced to share a theory of The Amazing Digital Circus so that's what I'll do!
i hope you all enjoy! :D
First things first: This is just my personal theory, it's not truth and does not invalidate anyone else's! I'm here just to enjoy and have fun not to fight anyone! That being said I'll try my best to explain everything i have in my tiny head with all the information we got so far!
Begining: Cain and Abel
TADC seem to have a religious inspiration or undertone to the show (Not mainly focused but at least seems inspired) With that some/mainly this theory will be based on some biblical elements!
The begging will be focused on explaining a bit about what i think of: Caine, Kinger and Jax.
Their roles, how important they are and what they do in general that got my attention.
Not far into the pilot we are introduced to Caine and Bubble, Since TADC appears to be a Game we can come to a conclusion that Caine is a Tutorial/Software created to have control over the circus as he says himself that he has eyes everywhere and can fix medium/low level abstraction but still can't seem to do any meaningful changes on the map or load memories from outside the digital world.
Bubble seems to be just a little helper, probably helping caine to fix some smaller bugs, clean messes and help him understand more into some of their needs.
Even though Bubble themselves seem a little buggy and glitchy saying nonsense and threatening content even when caine says that TADC is a safe place, and even caine is a bit buggy sometimes getting the blue screen but put lets put a pin on that and we'll be right on that topic!
Further we are introduced to the main characters, one of them being kinger, Our next subject.
Kinger seems to be a character mentally unstable and sometimes confused, having some lines that indicate he has been there longer than anyone, something that doesn't actually makes sense due to a information dropped by ragatha saying that "When you reach your breaking point something really bad can happen" Which we see a but further happening to kaufmo and we can all agree kinger seems long gone after his breaking point, But why isn't he abstracted?
I think that it might be cause kinger isn't actually a regular player trapped into the game he might be something else, Might a developer or even another AI like caine.
In the episode when jax says "i can still be hungry" we can see some of kingers knowledge by him saying "Well not really, ’cause we don't need to eat, drink or sleep in this digital world. So the digital food here only gives off the virtual sensation of eating [...]" That can indicate how he knows something more since jax replies with "[...] Since when are you an expert on the digital world?" And kinger seems to almost immediately lose track of what he was saying and where he is that might be a corruption of his files (Taking to the AI side).
Since we talked about both Kinger and Caine we can speak a bit more about the "Biblical" thing of them Both.
For a bit in the show are are shown a logo "C&A" that might be the company that made the game but if we take a bit with caine’s name we can get to Cain & Abel.
In the Bible Cain and Abel are brothers, the first kids of Adam and Eve, Cain killed his brother abel after envy.
Considering Caine is the first AI created in the game Along with Kinger they could represent the Two brother and the act of "Killing abel" Would more likely be Caine deleting or corrupting Kinger's Files to make him worthless resulting into the creation of a second companion for caine (maybe by the devs or even caine himself since he doesn't know how to probably code and that might be why bubble doesn't work well) Bubble that was made fast and poorly (that's why he doesn't work properly).
But Caine might need Kinger to access, Edit and work on TADC that's why he never fully deleted Kinger, since they were made to worl together like two keys the system only recognize them when together and even when bubble was the created they didn't edit the main thing causing the main resources to be in kinger’s file.
Development: Pair
One of the things i noticed is that the characters seem to have "pairs" per say.
Allow me to illustrate with both pictures and texts:
We have the sun and the moon
We have two anthropomorphic animals
A jester and a clown
Two randomized characters
Two toys
And last but certainly not least
Two chess pieces a queen and a king
We can see that TADC might have a buddy system where players have a right possibility of having someone to be a duo with or at least share something in common.
The chess pieces can indicate 3 things:
Kinger isn't a AI but a dev and the queen was another Dev but she got abstracted
Kinger is a AI and wasn't the first try to implement it in the game
Kinger and queen are just two different players that share the same characteristics just like the past examples.
For this theory we'll go with the 2nd option.
Ending (?): Judas
By now the last thing i have to share is my thoughts about jax and what he was shown on the pilot.
Jax seems to have a vast knowledge on the digital world (almost same level as kinger and dangerous almost as caine) we are shown that jax has a key that open everyone's room, He doesn't say how or where he got it but we can make a assumption that it was a prize for one of their adventures (or that he just stole it).
And how to you get prizes and items in games? POINT SYSTEMS! HOORAY!
When going down the slide with kinger and gangle they seem to make some points but at the bowling end they miss one and don’t get maximum score, jax immediately kicks the things and they seem to finally get maximum score but jax immediately breaks the warning/sign and goes away.
THAT TAKES US TO THE DINNER SCENE!
Another probable reference to the bible, more specifically "The Last Supper" of Leonardo da Vinci
This makes me believe that one of them will betray the rest or at least betray pomni.
Jax being most likely cause since he had access to a key that opens everydoor (and didn't say to tell anyone since ragatha was surprised) most likely is retaining important information probably intentionally.
Not only the key but probably the score system and so many stuff we aren't even aware off!
SO YEAH! :0
This is all i got so far, thanks for reading I'm sorry if it's too long but i hope i made everything clear and let's see if i got anything right!
Anyway i hope you all have a wonderful time! Toodles!
