honest opinion no one asked for, no spoilers but just a warning!! (tldr at the bottom) ((look for pink text for tldr))
ONLY IF YOU WERE PLANNING TO PAY TO SEE THE FINALE (TADC EP 9) IN THEATERS :
if you are a genuinely passionate fan of tadc, I honestly HIGHLY recommend hearing out people talking about the finale or even watching the leak before you pay money to travel and see it in theatres-PLS HEAR ME OUT!!
I really love and admire the show and have supported and defended it always, even making content about it, and have openly shared my love the show and my love for indie animation making more impact!!!
I was originally planning to drive two hours to the nearest theatre to see it. YES I KNOW but again, I really love the show and knew this would be a huge moment for indie animation getting more support (online and financially)!!
I got so angry when I heard there were leaks. Like, this is such a huge chance for indie animation to show it can have just as much of a large impact in theatres especially with its beginnings, being on youtube, then netflix, and now a theatre release. Like this is so amazing !!! and probably a dream come true it looks like for aspiring animators wanting their passion projects to get support to fully come to life!! hope core !!
well ofc I had heard/seen some comments, and honestly they seemed all over the place at first. Like I couldn’t get what was really happening? I had been actively avoiding spoilers but these just came through in people’s passive comments or making references to what happened. Then ofc the inevitable happened and when I thought I was watching a trailer or edit, it seemed to be like a super cut of the finale. I read the comments explaining further(i was just appalled at what i saw and wanted to confirm it was fake, so so badly), and though i’m not too proud of it, followed a link and watched the whole portuguese leak myself. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW THATS HYPOCRITICAL BUT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IF YOU KNOW AN SAW WHAT I SAW!! I KNOW THAT SUCKS WHEN PEOPLE ARE VAGUE ON THE INTERNET BUT IT IS YOUR CHOICE AT THE END OF THE DAY IM SORRY IM JUST A GIRL CRYING ON HER BLOG TRYING TO PREVENT DISMAYYYYY😭😭😭
honestly? I’m glad I did before following through on the plans to travel to see it. And show my friends the show. I don’t want to be associated with it when they see it. I’m sorry but my honest reaction to everything I saw in the leak was just: if I saw this in the theatre after driving 2 hrs, paying for tickets the same price as my weekly gas, and constantly defending this show I think I would’ve crashed out and gone insane trying to convince myself this was all just a huge prank and the real finale is in the popcorn bucket or something 😭 like i do think it’s would’ve been another stranger things season 5 type of deal/reaction but this time people paid money and drove or traveled in general to watch it. to which im sure would make a lot of people MORE pissed and aggressive than the dark parts of the fandom already are like 💔
Not too many details because I don’t want people to be spoiled by my hints before they make the choice to see them. but Even if i did, if I read everything that happened in the finale before watching it I think I would had the same reaction as goose and assume it was all fabricated. Like nothing made sense. and it never will. I genuinely thought being were being way too crazy about this, like everything else that’s happened recently. and now my foot’s in my mouth lmao
Not everyone will agree I’m sure, but it was just so upsetting how they handled this show. I was so hopeful and even calling out the fandom for being so disrespectful. BUT I KINDA SEE WHY THEY LEAKED IT, everything was just so appalling I couldn’t believe glitch approved this and no one even pushed back on this even a little. The last 12 minutes had more impact on my than the entire thing and even then I couldn’t enjoy it because I was so ragebaited by the shit from a butt I just watched. IM SORRY I CAN TELL MUCH LOVE WENT I TO THE PROJECT EVEN THE ANIMATORS WERE TRYING TO HARD TO SAVE IT AND MAKE UP FOR THE ABSURDITY BUT NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME.
anyways pls consider finding out how bad it does get before committing to watching in theatres, I know others might not want to support this release either if they knew what they were signing up to watch!!
edit: i wanted to add that it’s more uncomfy than you may realize, which was my main reason for not wanting other to travel to see it especially if seeing in a different city than you are familiar with. there definitely should be some tw for the episode and i don’t wanna share them in case people think it’s spoilers, but some scenes were triggering for me, and this is after years of working on getting panicked less easily and emdr therapy so idk how else to lay it out that it might be worth looking into if you’re cautious if those things
TLDR: if this is going to be a costly event for you, I do think you should hear people out about about what happened in the finale. I won’t spoil it for you if you don’t want to know as this won’t be tagged as a spoiler, but I do think a large amount of people, like a majority of fans are going to be upset about it. Especially if you’re in a situation where you want to pay money to see it. I get that and I want to support indie animation more too, but with what I’ve seen in the leaks i’m happy to have seen them before I went through with that, as this is no longer something I want to support or show passion in and know others will not want to if they knew what it entailed.
