Guys, I think I found one of the most depressing, but also somewhat realistic TADC ending theories.
So, we know that I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is a heavy inspiration for the show. In the book, the world is controlled by a satanic AI named AM. AM hates humanity and destroyed it, but kept 5 humans just for the pleasure of torturing them. He gave them immortality just so he could keep torturing them forever.
Ted, the narrator, is one of the 5. He ends up killing everyone, just to end their misery. But in doing that, AM punished Ted by turning him into a limbless, shapeless mass so he can’t kill himself. He sacrificed himself for the others, knowing he would be trapped with AM forever.
How does this work in relation to TADC? What if Kinger is that person to sacrifice himself to save everyone else. Think about it. It makes sense. Gooseworx has said that the ending of the show is sad, and a second season wouldn’t work. It’s possible. But I hate this theory because, come one, everyone loves Kinger. I bet everyone wants him to be their father because he’s just the best.
Thoughts?
