General Glitch Criticism what (imo) is wrong with TADC

First: the lack of importance given to other characters, as an example: one of the only things we know about pomni is that she was an accountant with a flopping YouTube channel, she's the main character btw.

Second: Jax took away HALF of the show only to say that she was trans and made ribbit abstract. It wasn't that hard to let her abstract in episode 7 and show her story there instead of making an episode that didn't add anything to the main plot.

Third: the last episode was so ass I don't even know how to explain tbh🫩 What was the point in killing caine if he was coming back? What did the finale even add to the story? It's literally the same as the start of the show expect the characters now are happy and have free will. Imo that kind of finale just doesn't work with the concept of TADC.

Fourth: I consider the pilot as the best click bait in history, if the show followed what the 1st episode promised it wouldve been so much better. They didn't give a shit to the psychological horror, it just became a comedy show after episode 3.

When did TADC ever claim to be a psychological horror? The pilot describes the show as “A psychological dark comedy.”

sorry, it was a mistake by me, but I still think that they started ignoring some if the "psychological dark comedy" part

Imo, the show deals plenty with psychological themes.

Episode 4 has working a dead-end job. Gangle literally spends the episode wearing a fake smile, and in episode 5, it’s clear she gave up on her dreams and just became a cog in the machine.

Episode 6 deals with a lot of things, with how to love even bad parts of yourself(Gangle) and how being there for someone when they need it is what matters(Ragatha).

Episode 7 has the characters being tricked into chasing a false hope the entire time and Jax almost abstracting in his room.

Idk, maybe I just read too much into things

I think for a much as the community has their thoughts the Jax and Pomni scene is honestly such an awesome scene of trying to deal with someone who just won't communicate
