Jax was worse in the pilot. He left Pomni and Ragatha to die from Kaufmo, broke Gangle’s happy mask more (also pushes her from the escalators), and put centipedes in Ragatha’s room which is her biggest fear. All Jax did in episode 2 was act like a jerk.Y’all need to calm down with "wHy dId JaX cHaNgE” 😩 He’s the same jerk we all know and was worse in episode one. Also before anyone replies with "he threw Pomni out” or "he allowed the fudge monster to kill everyone” 1.He threw Pomni because he was trying to complete the adventure (in a very Jax way) also the circus members are immortal (besides abstraction or glitching) 2.Those were NPC’s it doesn’t matter he killed them. It’s better than him leaving actual humans to die
Fr when i heard about this "drama" i was like "yall people really didn't pay attention to his action he always behave like that"
He's literally always been this way
And he’s gonna progressively get worse as each episode releases.
Was he worse in episode 1 though? He threatened Gangle with something that she’s clearly embarrassed about to ram into a spiked truck, threw Ragatha into a bunch of knifes, let a monster that eats people into a kingdom (though yes admittedly those people are just npcs) and didn’t even have the decency to show up to Kaufmo’s funeral.
@@exalpergames90 Legit technically the last one was the worst thing he did in episode 2
Ep1: * *abuses and leaves friends for dead* * Fans: 😍 Ep: * *abuses and leaves friends for dead* * Fans: 😰
So true like his character never changed
Nah, a narcisist would lie and has a low self esteem and so far he has been honest about himself and doesnt seem to have a low self esteem. He also isnt a sociopath/psycopath because he also doesnt seem entirely remorseless. I think "sadist" is the best term to describe him. He isnt hurting others to make himself feel better, he hurts others because he enjoys it
Idk why people think he a positive character when in reality he isn't from the start he a bad boy in the sense he like to hurt people i.e like him putting centipede in ragatha room or him leaving ragatha and pomni to fend for themselves in kaufmo rampage
And purposely stepping on Gangle’s mask to make her cry, threw a bowling ball at Kinger
People just wants excuse of him to be a good guy then hates on his action when he does something bad

Nope
Ok but literally who thought he was? No one is saying he was ever good, he's always been a bad person
'Jax could potentially be a narcissist' NUH UH. He is 110% without a DOUBT a narcissist, an UNHINGED and BRUTAL harbinger of pure CHAOS beyond human nature. Abusing the fact that the circus isn't real to his advantage and cementing his personality like the absolute JAW DROPPING CRETIN HE IS. He's the character I'd least expect to abstract due to his open and downright diabolical nature. He won't go insane, he IS insane. I love Jax's character even more after the second episode, It's so funny to see him shamble around from place to place, getting up Infront of the camera and causing chaos wherever he goes.
no. I think your a bit crazy with your ideas on Jax. Cut your hype by half and I think you are on the right track.
AH! ANOTHER PERSON WHO ABSOLUTELY LOVES JAX BECAUSE HE'S AN ABSOLUTE MENACE! And not like in a coping mechanism way. I mean, he does probably use it to cope sometimes, but I'm pretty sure he's just like this anyway. It's absolutely hilarious.
AWESOME SAUCE 😎
I'm with you man I love jax
I love chaos
Definition What is a narcissistic personality? Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.
True, I still suffer from my narcissistic personality. I'm still going through my journey to live with it. I'm trying to gain empathy for people till this day.
THANK YOUUUU AS SOMEONE WITH NPD WHO WANTS TO RECOVER IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE MISUSING YHE LABEL PLEASE PLEASE JUST SAY THEYRE ARE EGOTISTICAL DO NOT USE THE WORD FOR A PERSONALITY DISORDER ( AND THEY ALWAYS DUMB IT DOWN TO HAVING A BIG EGO ) ITS LIKE USING YHE WORD ADHD TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE WHO IS HYPERACTIVE
@@Lizzylove6073 idk but your probably nicer than me
By the dictionary definition of a narcissist, yes. He's written to be like that for a reason that we probably don't know yet is all.
Do we even need to know? Sometimes people are just assholes
@@cortomaltese5206Of course we need to know something about a character and wait for his /her development if we want to talk about his /her bad actions,cuz a bad characters like always have a backstories in shows ,also Googeworks have already said to us multiple times that we will see everything,so please wait for the developing,and don't hate character's bad actions,a jerk doesn't always need to be accused . (Sorry for my grammar :_) )
I think jax wasnt relating to the fudge monster, he was acting like he did so the fudge would help them catch the bandits
Could be both lol Heck, I hope it's both
There’s probably bound to be a moment later in the series where Ragatha actually snaps at Jax
I can’t lie and say I wouldn’t be interested to see that lol
“Come on, Ribbons, do it.” *ragatha comes over* “Hey uhh, Gangle, is your comedy mask fixed?” “Oh, Dolly’s here too. I’m trying to get her to check her room.” *ragatha immediately slaps Jax across the face*
Possibly since Gooseworx confirmed that Jax and Gangle will not swear
8:12 I just realized that when the shacking a lot, others were shacking violently too including Jax, except for his head. I find that detail very funny
I genuinely want to see what would happen if someone gave him a taste of his own medicine. It’s unlikely it’ll be from the cast of main characters though since nobody really compares to Jax’s sadism. Would he be able to take what he dishes out, or will we see hypocrisy & a complete lack of self awareness from him?
I feel like he's a hypocrite, but I feel like he knows he's a hypocrite.
I like him because he is a jerk, apparently none of the other Jax fans liked his character for that.
Oh, I'm 100% with you. I live vicariously through fictional sadists.
Same
As you said, Goose literally said Jax is the only one who deserved to stay in the circus. So of course he's more of a jerk. I ironically still found him likeable, considering I watch Riggy 👁️👄👁️
Jax could have been a criminal in the real world and whoever caine is in the real world put the headset on him so he wouldn’t terrorize the real world anymore and he can terrorize people in a vr game trapping him forever
Caine is just an AI, so he couldn’t have put the headset on Jax himself.

Oh no
Yeah that took me for a loop too, but I guess that’s the thing abt writing an actual jerk
Was that.. not obvious from Gooseworks Twitter..?
goosework confirmed he was literally in jail, the guy is a menace to society as an equal lmao
I mean, he freaked out in the concept art about there being "too many girls", so of course something was up. I personally just think it's funny. He's an ABSURDLY bad person.
That is less narcissism and more sadism😂
Why not both??? Ehehehe

Jax is a really interesting character
Pretty sure he's acting from a place of reaction and discharge and not rest. This circus may seem like a place that requires a person who is detached from his emotions and does not take things seriously. This also shows me that Koufmo is a very sensitive person in his true nature, which is why he was a victim of abstraction. ... For fans of Jax's character, it is frightening that Jax undergoes a transformation in a moment of weakness.
3:31 i mean they do literally know about the theme song/intro
(BEFORE WATCHING THE VID): im pretty sure he is, or is Just acting this way to not to get abstracted (After watching vid): Maybe he didnt got punished and he was just curious then put the headset on and stuff. And im pretty sure he adjusted to the circus more easly than the others. Plus i think that kaufmo was the one who helped him adjust, and jax related to kaufmo. *(JUST MY THOUGHTS)*
Tbh that just a theory thought it not ben confirmed nor denied
I do believe Jax is being a jerk because he finds enjoys it, and according to him, he's is fine with doing whatever. As long as he says funny things happen to people
I feel like he's depressed, not narcissistic. And/ or a socio/psychopath
I feel like he's all of the above
@@imjustvi6279 same
A person who is socio or psychopath CANNOT have depression. Same like other people with personality disorders. It is not possible due to the nature of personality disorders...
@@Space0fox Ah. I thought sociopaths still had the capacity for depression. Apologies.
@@Space0fox I google searched: " can people with antisocial personality disorder have depression" (apd is psychopath btw if the apd's severe enough) and it said "Individuals with antisocial personality disorder often also have co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression" So i can prove you wrong (sorry) Have a good day! ;)
The BTS people honestly was *aware* that the fandom would split in half for this. 😅 I think they even did a text in Tumblr explaining this.
My theory is he’s a sociopath that maybe offed people(maybe women) he gets mad when things aren’t violent enough and doesn’t care how he treats people. Now that he’s in the digital world he has no consequences. Everything he does is for his entertainment.
I think he's a sociopath too. I'm not so sure he's literally murdered people, but he gives off sociopathic vibes.
Me and my dad have narcissism, and Jax is very similar to me. Unfortunately, of course. This is why Jax is my favorite. I relate to him...
Jax is definitely a narcissist. We like to believe that's somewhere deep down he really does care even though all of the evidence points to the contrary. He becomes his coping mechanism there's nothing underneath the mask. He doesn't see you he sees what you can do for him.
I don’t think of Jax as a narcissist actually. He is just trapped in the circus, so it never even matters anyways. You *can’t* die.
In a different language dub of episode 2, instead of "figurine thing" he says "your little secret"
I hated jax even in the beginning, I don't understand why people liked him. Also, I am glad that I loved Ragatha since the beginning, she is amazing and sweet and I'd love to be friends with her
Jax has been one of my favorite characters from tadc since the first episode and its because he's funny and also relatable
jax my favvvv plus why are people so dramatic like in digital circus u cany feel pain like if i was there i would pull pranks too u cany feel pain anyway
Are you Scottish, ik how it's a weird question but I'm just asking.
I still love the character Jax. he's my favorite
@@THE-LIL-ARTIST uhmm no?
@@user-qz7sh6xv4k sameeee even though im a md fan i stil love tadc
I never heard of narcissism but that's one kind of attitude i hate in the world. Since i saw the teasers introducing each Digital Circus member, i knew Jax would be the character i will hate during the whole show and after 2 episodes, i still can't stand this guy. If he ever put in danger or worse make any Digital Circus member or my favorite character Pomni abstract, i will be mad and no longer consider him as a protagonist.
I ain't 100% sure on him being a narcissist maybe just more of a socio/psychopath. Narcissist have bigger needs of wanting to be praised and worshipped which Jax just hasn't fully displayed as much. Him being a sadist is just fact tho.
People lack media literacy if you have to ask if a character who is obviously a narcissist, are they a narcissist.
I love Jax. He ain't the nicest ever but also we got a heads-up about this from the creators.
do they know the show exist jax in end of ep 2:*looks at camera and breaks the fourth wall*
3:40 That's because in the adventures of the circus,i dont really think anybody dies or they are in a real danger,because caine can just evaporate all npcs in one click of finger.
jax will always be my favorite character hes the funniest!
He killed a modaofking kingdom.
The fact that Goosworx SAID that Jax wouldn’t be a nice person multiple times and people still are confused about why he’s acting the way he is😭
There is something about him we can see in the giftshop. There are merchandise where you can see the character's room (ragatha has a piano in her room, kinger seems to not use his because we are in his "impenetrable" fortress, gangle has a red and black bed, etc...) and there's only jax's room we only see the door, but not the inside (plus, the background of his name is also broken). I'm pretty sure his room contain something importamt for the story of for his character (like something he is soft about, a key for the exit door that he keep for himself for different reasons, etc...). I just hope that in the futur, we will learn more about him, about why he's like this, what he really is and that he will open himself.
Is it just me or does it seem like Jax gets more purple every time? In the meet the characters thing a while ago he seemed almost blue, in the pilot he was a light purple, and in ep2 he seems dark purple.
I think the lighting style changed a bit since the pilot aired
I still don’t get how people saw him as a “PoSiTive ChArAcTer wHo CaReS aBout hIs FriEnDs”
I'm stumped as to why everyone is so over analysing jax at this point: Bro knows he's fucked and just happens to be your average gmod sandbox player, so he's just defaulting to not giving a fuck in an environment without consequences (I highly highly HIGHLY doubt any of them are in any actual dangers outside of abstracting all things considered)
True. He did leave Ragatha to the clown and Ragatha is shown to have been in pain though.
Notice that the only person Jax torments less than the others is Zooble. Not because he likes them or they’re his friend… but because they actually fight back against Jax and don’t take his bullcrap.
im sorry is anyone finding funny how he says "narcisitic" in such a calm way?
What's a narcissistic?
@@Inotnari aah hell naah woaaahoooo
I actually love him even more than the beginning 😂. I think I am a 100% Jax fan 😂
I do think he is reacting to how he knows none of them can get hurt and die, but that Ragatha has the opposite approach in knowing that everyone can still suffer and be traumatized, even if you can't physically suffer with bleeding, dying, etc. I am sure Gooseworx is working up a "whatever awful things he's doing in the current episode is nothing compared to how awful he will be in the next episode" kind of thing with him and that he's only gonna get worse. I also think the bowling ball thing was just a spontaneous, on-the-spot thing as a reason to get out of the situation. I think he actually just stole the bowling ball and came up with the nickname on a looney-tunes style of immediately coming up with an excuse to get away from the situation.
Ep1:*abuses funny and leaves his friends for dead* Fans:😂🤩 Ep2:*abuses,funnier and leaves his friends for death Fans:😐😧😣
Also when ragata said about the next adventure he shouted at her
Jax didn’t sympathize with the fudge. He empathized with him, understanding how he felt, not just feeling bad.
I had realised this since episode 2 had come out. I watched a lot of video analyses of the cahracter of Adam from HH, about how he's a narcissist, and they all applied to Jax, I recommend watching them If you want to learn more about that.
Imo Jax is narcissistic but also sadistic. He takes pleasure from others suffering and doesnt regret it or feel slight remorse for it. Fits perfectly for his character
I still love the character Jax. he’s my favorite 🤩 ❤🐰

@@imjustvi6279 clue:🫙
When i see jax's face idk what to make my face shocked or mad
Me literally thinking about that jax is a narcissist like 5 minutes ago: "Yeah well no shit 😐"
yes im pretty sure they now their in the show i think that because in the trailer of episode 2 caine talked about episode 1 to pomni
I hope he never changes
My theory is that all of the ppl that were put in to the circus are actually mentally unwell or insane in some way, even before they entered the circus
My personal headcannon. Every character who ended up in circus has some kind of psychopathology. Jax is not a Narc since he seams to not place too much attention to precived image of himself. Rather he is using deprecation of others as a form of hedonistic validation for his internal self image. He also does not seam to manipulate his perceived image to bend it into something praise worthy or even positive. For me pathology is not Narcissism but Sociopathy and best example of this is at the of ep. 2. (The Fudge incident) TLDR Jax is Joker and he just wants to see the world burn.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's (partially, at least, I think behavior like this has to be at least somewhat ingrained) a trauma response, either something he carried over from humanity or from something that happened in the circus, which causes him to look down on others and feel superior from harming them. I definitely think he's a narcissist or psycho/sociopath at the very least, though I'm nowhere near qualified to officially diagnose him.
Jax only does it to keep his sanity at bay
I still like him as a character but currently not as a person. I know Goose said he will get worse, but I wonder how his character arc will end and why exactly he acts this way. She stated that he does have a reason (doesn’t excuse the behavior of course) and I’m curious what it is. I hope that we do get to see glimpses of a softer side and maybe redemption at the end, but I’m curious where his character is going to go. I hope he realizes how toxic his behavior is to the others at some point❤
The Real Question: Are TADC News Channels Milking the show?
Yes.
I love Jax as a character but I also pray on his downfall every day.
I was never an ENORMOUS Jax fan, but I did like him a lot. I loved his rubberhose character design! I am now officially a Jax hater after that episode. Not in the “How dare Gooseworks make a bad person a character” way, more in the “Gosh I hate this guy I can’t wait to see more of him” kind of way. He’s like a Disney Villain!! You’re praying for his downfall and he’s the character you love to hate.
The talk with the fudge monster was a bit if a stretch tbh. Most likely he was trying to use the fudge to get them (him) out of that situation
Jax is a sadistic character, he loves making other people suffering for his own amusement, he might be a nihilist person because nothing really matters in the digital world, their lives have no meaning, the can't die and they can't leave About the figurine thing, Gangle is actually an anime lover/weeb in real life according to Gooseworx in her Tumblr... So the figure thing might be anime action figures
Jax is still kind. Maybe he got got it from his mom
I think you need to know that he is doing this, so then they don’t abstract and Jax is trying to cope
Now he’s one of those lovable jerks in media like master shake,bender and now him
TBH, Most of Your Favorite Characters that you love nine times out of ten, you'd despise IRL. But, this is one of those rare few instances where people outright hate a character.
Anyone notice that zoobles Changes parts
how the fuck did people get "good guy" on jax from the first episode. HE WAS ALREADY A NARCISSIST AND A JACKASS, WHAT YOU GONNA DO?
the people who claim jax is still a good guy because “he was only sympathetic to the fudge monster to get the adventure over with, he was helping!” are the type of person who think ashfur loved too much and mapleshade is just misunderstood
Yes. He is litterally twitter, and twitter hates being called out.
I think that jax may just have accepted that they cannot die or be hurt he also may have had medication in the real world but not in the circus he may also have a mask, as a autistic person who usually wears a mask at school the way I act is often impulsive and have no real control or it feels that way
Do I care "Nahh" I am the person to get away with anything
It's perfectly valid if no one in the circus likes Jax, but I think Jax isn't all bad. I don't think he'll ever really change, but I think there is a vulnerable, redeeming part of him that he puts up a front to conceal, and doesn't want to get close to anybody because of what it means when they abstract. Maybe one of the circus members IS an NPC, and Jax doesn't think there's a difference anymore if they all live in a videogame. Caine will just dispose of them all the same when it isn't possible to play with them anymore. I really love that Ragatha, instead of taking Jax's route, chooses to seek connection with the other circus members, especially Pomni. She doesn't seem to be doing it with ulterior motives, at least to me. I think her desire for friendship is genuine, and that friendship is what helps keep her sane. Kaufmo was likely incredibly isolated for some time before he abstracted. It's possible Ragatha regrets not doing more to express her concern for Kaufmo. It's also possible Jax egged him on because he thought he was being hilarious, and feels regret for doing so.
Idk why but man does jax fit me so well
I think you might be completely right. The evidence is there and Gooseworx has confirmed some of these things. Honestly, I can’t wait to see more of this show and find out all the characters’ backstories.
I think Jax is just absolutely bloody DONE with the whole digital circus thing and acts like a jerk out of sheer spite of his situation. Notice how most of the cast seem to reflect a form of coping mechanism in response to the existential crisis. Kinger went bonkers, Ragatha is trying to be kind to everyone, Gangle gives in to depression, Zooble is a loner, so Jax is likely the personification of "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light." Jax is coping by lashing out in anger and frustration at everyone else, that frustration eventually becoming cynical and malicious through out the years. Not justified at all but I do think he's one of the most human characters in the show. Hoping that when we go into episode 3 Zooble actually joins this time and puts him in his place since it seems like she's the only one in the group that isn't afraid to kick his ass.
The way out is the void
Gooseworx picture kind of looks like zoogle hold on make a video about that
this video is a perfect example of "no shit sherlock"
Maybe Jax was a criminal in the real world🤔🤔🤔
He was always a jerk. Given how he likes to torment the others like telling Ragatha that he may or may not have put centipedes in her room, he likely put his bowling ball in Kaufmo's room as part of a "prank." on the clown. And since it is next to the door I would guess the ball was positioned in a way to hit Kaufmo in the head or make him trip and fall down. The slight regret may be the face that Jax understands that his constant torment of Kaufmo may be the main reason the clown was so eager to escape. And that that obsession to get away from jax is what drove him into abstracting, which is followed by Jax finding kaufmo to be a complete idiot for abstracting over a few pranks.
Idk what people where expected
I love Jax he is my fav character
I don't really hate him or anything else because he does whatever he wants to make everyone get criticised, his narcissistic behaviour went too far or making genocide. But we don't actually know 100% sure because we never know about his backstory or past adventure.
my guy put the thesaurus away
As much Jax likes targeting Womon, the only other male character in the group is King.
What’s ironic is that I thought he had NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder)
