If I see one more person characterize Caine as evil, I’m activating The Blender
ok but literally. I have been seeing people around the community actually think or characterize Caine as evil and malicious and i really have to wonder if they paid attention to the pilot at ALL.
You’re telling me the guy who
-sets up adventures to entertain them and help pass the time. despite being likely too chaotic at times, he means well
-did NOT purposely trap or is keeping the circus gang here on his own accord. He was just as surprised to see Pomni appear as the others and knows an exit doesn’t exist. He doesn’t know how to send them home and is just trying to keep them all occupied and pleased in their new home
-gives Pomni a tour of the digital world and excitedly and enthusiastically gives her some exposition, talking nicely
-tries to MAKE the IDEA of an exit to make the humans happy. he doesn’t quite understand and just tries to make an “exit” where he doesn’t know what to put on the other end
-APOLOGIZES for lying about the existence of the “exit” and just didn’t want to show them something he hadn’t finished
-gives them their own personal rooms, gives them rewarding digital dinners, and helps them come up with new names
-doesn’t try to hide MUCH (from what we see in the pilot at least) and admits that something he can’t control is their minds. he NEVER tries to make himself seem intimidating or get too arrogant about his authority and control over the circus.
-is just a really pleasant guy who comes off polite despite being zany and a cause for stress depending on the activity
-was literally SAID by the creator that Caine isn’t evil; he’s OBLIVIOUS. as an AI, he doesn’t really understand humans all that well. what seems normal and alright to him doesn’t equate to how the humans feel, but he does what he thinks will make them happy. His actions may not be the best wherever the series goes, but he’s not doing it with malicious intent.
-he’s totally okay with Zooble not wanting to participate in the adventure and promises he’ll make it in a way where they don’t even have to get super involved with it
-he LISTENS to the humans and respects them. he’s quick to bring up that XDDCC is a terrible name. he makes sure to ask Pomni what she thinks and doesn’t force it upon her. and he agrees with Jax that an adventure to get Pomni familiar with how things work in the circus.
IS EVIL?????
THOSE WHO WATCHED THE PILOT AND THINK HE’S EVIL AND SCHEMING…. NO,, HE’S REALLY NOT? He means well, he’s just… extremely wacky and intense about it. I genuinely don’t understand how some people can misinterpret him like that
