For context: The Amazing Digital Circus was referenced in an episode of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent (Season 4, Episode 3).

The plot follows the Toronto Major Crimes Unit investigating a case where a group of high school students is accused of recording the death of their teacher. One of the primary suspects was seen wearing a full Jax cosplay costume in the pictures on the right.

Don't worry, I'm as baffled as you are that Law & Order of all shows would reference it. However, I would be lying if I said that somebody on that show's writing team is a huge Jax fan.

BTW, the suspect's name is Jaxxon.

Obviously, my f/o, Darlene from Gravity Falls. Despite being a spider, her backside would probably be much more cushiony than a pillow!

First off, the fake "cancellation" image is obviously false. LSP was distributed by an independent studio, not Paramount, and the film has already had its release.

I know these posts are meant to be jokes, but rallying other animation fandoms to celebrate the supposed demise of an indie animated project—especially one that was self-aware from the start—is absolutely ludicrous.

For those who have actually watched the film, do you agree that this hate train is a complete waste of time?

Earlier today, I finally decided to sit down and watch this movie on Pluto TV just out of curiosity. At first, I didn't completely understand the hate surrounding it. While there were some moments that made me a little irritated, there was nothing that made me legit angry. It felt mostly mid as hell. The characters, humor, and 2D animation style were what it was. But by the time it hit the third act, I understood why people were so critical.

Sitting through its 87-minute runtime felt like a waste of time. The plot felt totally by-the-numbers, the character backstories and morals are just rehashes, and the villains were not only annoying and unfunny, but uninteresting with a motive that didn't make much sense and was just pathetic. On top of that, the main character's entire arc felt like it led nowhere by the end—like the conflict could've been easily avoided much earlier on.

Honestly, I don't see why this film got high praise from critics and won festival awards. Nothing in the execution stood out to me. This is coming from someone who watched Super Drags—which was also stupid and suffered from similar issues—but at least Super Drags had moments that held my interest. This movie just felt generic as dry toast.

There are definitely worse animated films out there to discuss, but I just don't get the hate for this one.

Earlier today, I finally decided to sit down and watch famous Reddit movie on Pluto TV just out of curiosity. At first, I didn't completely understand the hate surrounding it—it felt mostly mid. The characters, humor, and 2D animation style were pretty average. But by the time it hit the third act, I understood why people were so critical.

I was surprised to see this film get high praise from critics and pick up awards because nothing in the execution stood out to me.

To add context: I had a crush on this character until I saw a tweet about what she did in the show. Out of sheer fear and curiosity, I watched a little bit of the fourth episode and then skipped to the end.

At this rate, I'm not sure if I even want to give the show a try because I don't know how to feel about it. I'll still love the character regardless, but they cannot be serious.

For those who haven't, the characters are Wicke, Melony, and Ryme.

They had me there for a second, though. I thought she was going to manifest a platforming video game or something.

It’s been three years since this aired in 2023, and the show seems to have completely faded from community discussion.

When I first watched it, I couldn't really get into it. It suffered from stale humor (A piece of wood dating women? Really, writers?), forgettable characters, and a interesting premise—a NYC "it-girl" taking over her father's small-town cult—that felt flimsily executed. It ended up being one of those shows you can just put on in the background while doing something else rather than a stand-out adult animated comedy.

So, I wasn't surprised nor shocked when it got canceled. Dumping it on Fridays during mid-summer—right as the network was moving away from original scripted programming—certainly didn't help its chances either.

It's been a few years since this aired, so enough time has passed—what are everyone's thoughts on it?

Personally, I never really cared for it when I first watched it. Stale jokes, forgettable characters, and an interesting premise with pretty flimsy execution. It's one of those shows you can just put on in the background while doing something else.

When the show first premiered, someone on the internet floated a hilarious joke theory: what if Brian—the sentient piece of wood and Petey's ex-boyfriend—is actually Plank from Ed, Edd n Eddy?

Like the headcanon was that he finally split up with Johnny, moved to New York, took on a new identity, and reinvented himself as a smooth-talking ladies' man. I thought the coincidence was too funny to ignore, so I edited Plank's face onto Brian.

Looking back at it now, you honestly can't convince me they aren't the exact same character.

I did the best I could, as Living the Dream has pretty limited hairstyles and I lack serious art skills to use the face paint feature.

So let me know what you think!

From Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, by the way.
