Okay, I saw a take in the non-English fandom. And it's so "WTF" that I can't help but share. So...

Since Jax is gone, everyone will abstract of boredom within a month.

The end.

A Two Marlians are walking through the forest, and one suggests:

"Let's go, bro, to Paradise and commit genocide against the Eldians."

"Let's go! And what if they kill us?"

"What for?"

You know, that feeling of disappointment when a work raises sensitive topics and you think: Yeah, that's a problem! How wonderful that the author brought it up, that they'll analyze it, and show how to act better through his characters!

But in the end, it turns out that no, the author brought it up because they think so, and their solution is just as toxic and wrong as from any stereotypical person who doesn't understand the subject.

Mostly, of course, it's all about Jax, abuse, and victimblaming, but for me personally, it's about Caine, Jax, and the characters' relationships with them.

I noticed that Caine is a perfect representation of a neurodivergent/autistic character somewhere around episode 4, and that's why I started thinking Gooseworx would address this issue, especially after Kinger said in episode 3, Caine'd be accepted with his differences and people would understand that they, too, hadn't really tried to understand him, but no.

The result of Caine's arc: If you're autistic, then just break yourself over your knee, stop being autistic, become a servant and copycat of neurotypical people to fit in with them, and God forbid, you'll think about your own needs.

And this looks even more caricatured in the treatment of Jax.

Jax is an active abuser who knows what he's doing and continues to do it, yet he receives love from all the characters.

Caine tries to please and doesn't even receive a thank you, just a simple ignoring.

This is a typical example of the us/them divide.

Jax is human, so regardless of his actions, he's one of us and can do anything.

Caine is an AI, he's different, and therefore doesn't even deserve to be in the same room with us.

And I thought this would be ridiculed, that people would understand how hypocritical it is to judge someone by their origin and not their actions, but no.

It's both funny and sad.

​

Every story has its own set of steps, but the main thing is that every story comes to an end.

And we, as viewers, watching Rick, think that he, as the protagonist, is the center of the story and simply doesn't like things that are too serious because of his personality.

But what if Rick isn't the main character of this story? What if he, like Master Yoda, is a mentor character, destined for a specific role?

However, Rick himself disagrees with this and therefore uses every means possible to prevent the "plot" from moving forward.

He actively avoids plot events and lore revelations; he erases Morty's memory, resetting his character development, forcing him to grow over and over again.

Rick even did something to time, preventing it from advancing, and we have several Christmas episodes, but Morty is still 14 and Summer is 17 years old.

So Rick does everything he can to stay in the moment in the story where he's needed, acting like the main character and promising "fun adventures for a hundred years," just so the story doesn't reach a point where he's no longer needed and possibly dies, and the focus shifts to the real main character (most likely Morty or even Evil Morty, or maybe both).

Okay, I'm going to write something that might not be to everyone's liking.

Gooseworx is truly inexperienced as a writer.

She came up with a great premise, great characters, and she clearly really wanted to write about Jax, but she just didn't fit him into the world she'd created.

His story might be interesting in a vacuum, but not in the amazing digital circus. He has no connection to the circus itself, just another trapped soul who didn't handle being trapped in the program well.

His story doesn't influence the plot in any way, has no roots in it, and frankly, doesn't even have any serious consequences in the end; he's just another person getting abstracted.

This story could have happened in any other setting and been appropriate, but for some reason it's in a story about being trapped in a game with living AI like brain scans.

Am I the only one who facepalm at the sight of this?

A week until the finale, and we're being fed promo material featuring a character whose only purpose is to show how "poor and misunderstood" Jax is.

And that his asshole behavior is the result of an trauma, as if it's some kind of galactic secret, not the most obvious thing that exists.
