Save me Fagor MFK2... Fagor MFK2 save me

Ça me rend ouf.

Genre 9x13 = 117 ; 1+1+7 = 9

9x52 = 468 ; 4+6+8 = 18 ; 1+8 = 9

Gosh, Sandy is such a good proof of how shitty Bear is, even as a caretaker. Just in case you'd want to sympathize with this man, you have the cat he loses at the beginning of the movie to showcase the way he behaves around who he pretends to love.

It starts with her death. The first thing that escapes him when he sees her dead is wondering how she did it to herself (as if a cat being able to eat human medications isn't a fault on the human's neglect)

He doesn't bring her death up, except in the weirdest way, when he and his friends cheer. And then, his phrasing is abrupt, careless. Yeah, grief can get you that kind of tone, but then, later, he admits the Fake Nikki seems to care more about Sandy than he does.

When he sees her dead body exhibited, when Nikki serves her cooked in a sandwich, he's horrified that his boundaries are crossed in such a disturbing way, not that his cat was used.

He never mentions her by name again. She's just "the cat".

Okay, but what drives me kinda nuts about Jax

What, I realize, is the reason why I dislike him so much and feel like he took over everything in the story without it being justified

Is that none of his problems are related to being trapped in a Digital Circus.

None.

All he is is a bunch of melodrama tropes not related in any way with the themes of the story. Being stuck in an avatar that doesn't suit you? Well he thinks he's a little ridiculous, but that's it, nothing groundbreaking. Having to go in adventures? He acts like he enjoys them like a FPS and make them even more miserable for everyone else! Caine? Of all the characters, Jax seem to mind Caine the less, he barely interacts with him and doesn't seem scared of him.

Some people gave Pomni shit for acting like a Y/N character, but at least she had some sort of interaction with the main story, at least she has the pilot to show her sense of anguish, at least she understood a NPC!

Jax is a self-insert in the worst sense possible, not the kind you write with a love for the story and the wish to bring an interesting perspective to an established world. A self-insert that's just here to show how the world that's been carefully built doesn't matter because he is here and his story and his little drama is so much more interesting than the rest, you guys.
