And you thought I'm going to spoil the movie? Spoilers for it have been leaked a week ago, this is all old news. 

What was news to me that one of people I know actually intended to watch the movie. This acquaintance of mine in reality was going along with his friend and never had seen the series before. In part due to being concerned with the fandom. 

I for one, have been following along the series before it even exist, since I was in love with the studio's behind TADC prior work — *[Murder Drones](https://inv.nadeko.net/playlist?list=PLHovnlOusNLiJz3sm0d5i2Evwa2LDLdrg)*. Knowing that this YouTube channel taking root in SMG4 was kind of surreal. Who knew that Super Mario 64 animation could get them to showing a movie (well animated series finale).

In a way, the fact there is a finale on the big screen is more of an advertising pull. You do not get to see the finale of the most popular animated series on the Internet for 2 weeks, unless you go to a movie theater. Which forces the eager ones to experience the finale in the most invigorating way possible. No phones, no terrible monitors. This is the big screen. 

For me the appeal was not so much the big screen, not so much the ability to view it early, they were nice of course, but no. The main reason I was drawn were the audience. There is no such experience like a collective laugh or cry. 

In a way I walked out of the theater in bliss and in a small sense traumatized. And I do not refer to the fish at the beginning, voiced by [Zach Hadel](), a YouTuber and co-creator of *[Smiling Friends](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiling_Friends)* animated series. The horrific 3D fish speaking in the *Smiling Friend-esque* realistic matter threw me off. But that was something worse.

Seeing both parents and kids watching and reacting to TADC was offputting. Like, the series is clearly intended for a more mature audience. Not say an [8 year old](https://blenderdumbass.org/reviews/Riddle_Of_Fire) cannot comprehend the deeper ends of the series. The issue were the parents. They came into a movie theater, expecting to see a dubbed animated PG movie. But they got an explosive, surrealistic commentary on the condition of reality and identity. All in the glorious language of English. At least they had subtitles... in English. Sorry to all grandmas and grandpas who couldn't really understand the undertone of the story. At least they laughed with their grandchildren.

I cannot emphasize how invigorating 'twas when the audience laughed at a joke-away shipping of two characters. Or when a major character detailed was revealed. Their ostentatious "OHHH" vibrated through my ear drums. 

But there was one case, one place where I fell at odds with the audience. 'Twas my [The House That Jack Built](https://blenderdumbass.org/reviews/The_House_That_Jack_Built) moment. There was a case when a person fell down on the floor in a dramatic showcase. And the audience were laughing. Their chests were puffed with air. It felt so wrong. Yet, in a paradoxical turn, the emotion was turned head heels for me. I felt an ever closer connection to the plot. 

The movie managed to do something little manage, there was a whole crowd of people watching the credits scene. And even the post-credit footage. To get access to special **The Last Act** merchandise. Which was promised at the beginning of the film. The sight of dozen or so teenagers with their phones up, waiting for the magical QR code. There stood the two people I came to movie theater as well. 

As such, I went out. With appraisal for the phenomenal performance at Glitch and slight terror at the fact the growing generation can be corrupted so easily. A movie did corrupt the audience. In a way, it showed how generative AI is evil. Glitch ends basically all episodes, this movie including, with small text at the bottom *This was made using only human intelligence*. Spite for AI is given. You're forgiven Abel, your evil brother Caine is no longer going to haunt your deceased self.
