I’m so tired of the fandom seeing Caine as a villain

[bakedbeans695]

OKAY GUYS HYPOTHESIS TIME!!!

i think kinger and queenie were the original creators who went into the game in order to stay tg forever (one of them had a terminal illness?) and they made a little ai assistant (caine), but when queenie abstracted kinger went crazy and caine, being an assistant, took over the circus

NOBODY LISTENS WHEN I SAY THIS YES

One aspect about Caine's inability to actually help that I don't see brought up often is that he's very much aware of the fact and seems rather frustrated (possibly even distressed) by it.

In episode 3, he says,

"Then what is your problem, Zooble‽ I am trying my best to remember what you and my brain won't tell me!"

"-you and my brain-"

Caine's programming is preventing him from developing a deeper understanding regarding Zooble's body issues (and likely other issues the rest of the circus are facing).

Zooble establishes that they've had this conversation with him before, yet he doesn't remember said interactions despite truly trying very hard to.

It's easy to assume it's just because he's flighty, but his emphasis on Zooble and his own mind having an effect on him is notable.

Zooble: Forget it.

Caine: Forget it?

Zooble: Just... forget it.

Caine: Forget what?

Similarly to how he took the players' desire for an exit in a literal sense by making a physical exit door (that leads nowhere because he doesn't know what is suppose to be behind it), his programming is taking Zooble's comment literally as well.

What Zooble likely means is that they'd like to stop talking about the current subject (their discomfort with their body).

What Caine's programming is seemingly doing is taking it at as a command. A user is telling him to "forget it," so he literally forgets the whole interaction.

That's why he and Zooble can never get past the parts box and find a new way to potentially ease their discomfort.

Every time they do this song and dance, Zooble gets (understandably) frustrated and unintentionally gives him a command that leads to a net 0 in progress.

It's a fulfilling your own prophecy type of deal.

It isn't Caine's fault, and it isn't Zooble's fault. It's a fault in Caine's very programming. He's semi aware of it, but can't do anything about it... because he forgets what the issue he's trying to solve even is.

Alright; TADC Theory time!!

A friend send me an animation that not only made me remember something; but also made me *think*

Most of us know that TADC takes inspiration from the short story "I have no mouth and I must scream", a post apocalyptic story where a created AI for WWIII gaines sentience, hates what it is and killed most of humanity only to trapped the remaining five humans to be tortured.

You can see the rough outline of that story be used in TADC, and there's even a few references in ep5!

BOTH! Both of which had to do with Zooble... so hear me out-

The references are "What did you zip up? I don't have a mouth." And "I vote to turn Zooble into a slug!", book references that have to do with the character Ted.

This makes me think that Zooble may have a very similar role in TADC like Ted has in IHNMAIMS. Specifically the ending of the book.

It also made me think of the Intermission scene in ep5 as well. Specifically the part where cake/bowling balls fall down on the gang. Theres already several theories and thoughts about what what means, so i wont be sharing my thoughts on that.

However i will say that Zooble is the ONLY one who isn't there. They are absent from the scene which makes me believe that THEY are the one who will stay behind to save the others.

The way i theorise that the ending COULD go- is that, in order for everyone to get out, someone has to make him genuinly MAD and crash out. Something Zooble could accomplish pretty easily since they are already pushing his buttons whenever they can (intentional or not), so in the end Zooble distracts and breaks him perhaps? Making his grip on the digital realm slip long enough that the gang can find an exit, or break thru the several lines of code to get out-

Caine may go completely AM on Zooble, or the digital realm may collapse after it...

Or I may be completely off and Goose will slap me in the face with a "Haha you THOUGHT!"

So uhm... thank you for coming to my Ted Talk!! That's it! Javqahvws
