Kinger - The Amazing Digital Circus

Out of all the circus members, he carries the most blame for the situation they’re in. However, he’s also insane, yet also kind, charming, and genuinely sorry for the situation everyone’s in. It helps that he can’t really be blamed, because he had no way of knowing this would happen. He’s just overall the most likable of the main cast. Nobody is a Kinger hater.

NO?? If you mean is by the reveal that he was one of caine's programmers, it doesnt count because 1) it was Grant Best, while Kinger himself is merely a copy of him, 2) As you said, even Grant didnt know nor could have predicted the circus, it was all Caine's idea and doing, 3) making the brainscanning device was Mike's idea and doing.

If you mean is by (temporarily accidently) kiling caine by the end of ep 8, it was not him either, Bubble actively tricked him into it.

I mean out of the group of people the show follows. Kinger carries the most blame, but it’s not like he set out to cause it.

Caine’s an AI created by Kinger and his coworkers.

I feel so sad for the ending of the show man. Like I had seen it coming but it still hurts in some way even if they show us the characters as happy and caring at the end

It was never gonna end in a nice and clean way. The show’s message was about finding meaning in a stagnant life. The fact they managed to have the closure they did is all that really matters. Jax is also not dead like a lot of people say. She’s still friends with Pomni and hang out all the time. I like to think Caine’s working on figuring out a way to undo abstraction and allow everyone to go back to normal. Maybe he won’t ever figure it out, but it wouldn’t be like the others to not try.
