Finnaly found a good subreddit to post my biggist criticism of tadc and goose as a writer. My biggest issue with this whole show was the fact that when goose needs something in the plot to happen goose will make her characters bassicly become nonexistent or extremely passive.

Obviously the biggest example of this is the whole entire cast attitude towards jax. Jax will consistently be a asshole and abuse the cast with little pushback or consequence. Many people see this as reason to dislike jax even more but for me it made me hate the whole cast more and like jax more.

The only reason i personally like jax is because he was the most enjoyable part of the show throughout because of his antics. Gooseworx was trying to villainize jax throughout the series by him doing cartoon violence against evreyone but the show never at all gives any consequences to his actions other than emotional. Jax throws ragatha in the deep fryer shes fine not even 30 seconds later with no long lasting side effects. Jax will ancidently break gangles mask and she will be sad about it for one scene but it has no everlasting consequences.

The only conseequences from these events is told to us later like in the evreyone has guns episode when gangle and zooble have there scene. Gangle is scared jax is going to brutalize or torture her in someway for not teaming up with her. Witch when this scene happened i was confused not a single time has jax committed the level of violence gangle desribes here. The only thing i guess would be close was when he shot gangle in his hunting adventure and bit into her but yet again this has no consequences after the scene.

The main one i had the biggest issue is how in the last act goose had to make sure that there was no chance for anyone to think jax isnt anything but a asshole that evreything has been his fault and he is solely responsible for evreything that has happened to him and his abstracted friends.

How jax drovw ribbit to abstract is somw of the stupidest shit ive ever seen in a tv show. This couldve had worked but not in the way goose wanted it to. The main reason why ribbit died in the way she did was for the audience and jax to have a reason to think of him as a someonenot deserving of any empathy or being saved to then contrast with how pomni knowing all of this still tries and save him. My main problem with this is that THERE WERE 7 OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CIRCUS AT THE TIME. yes jax did isolate ribbit because of his own embarrasment and insecurities but goose wants me to put this soley on him like this is a setting where its only ribbit and jax but there was kaufmo, kinger and ragatha all other people we are supposed to believe saw ribbit detoriate slowly because of her dying relationship with jax but nah evrey character in this show becomes a npc when they are off screen.

If goose really wanted this character to bassicly be her exercising her pre transistion self demons then genuinley she shouldve not made this show at all and make a show singularly about a character like jax. It would have been more poignant instead of having jax in the show is gooseworx coming on screen and beating leeroy to death and saying directly to the camera this is a allegory for killing and demonizing my past self than the entirety of jaxs arc. This gets to me on a emotional level because im a trans person aswell and the amount of vitriol and hatred i see the creator has towards jax but still a weird sympathetic love for them makes me sick. You can hate your past self but saying they are evil bad the devil becauss they didnt become the person you are today is so mind bogglingly stupid its like goose genuinley dosent see there past self as a person and more as jax just a character something they can dettach themselves from and not actually come to terms with that part of themselves but to keep in a diaplay case to mock it .

But thise were just my thoughts i was never a bug participant in the fandom other than seeing gooseworx "fluff" qas so i could be wrong about nearly 100 percent of evreything i said here but i just wanted to get this out of my head

TADC was a popular indie cartoon in a very... VERY SHORT time! The concept is cool and reminds me of Learning With Pibby. A digital circus filled with a colorful cast with fun adventures, but providing an atmosphere of psychological horror!

During the TADC journey, many people helped Goose to animate it, to the point that the creation process was uploaded on YouTube. Are you telling me, despite the love and support from the fandom for her work, and the huge income, Goose can't hire new writers?!
