"Meet J" feels to me like a loremaster's work to tie in the retcons (spoilers!)

#MurderDrones

In one of the animation presentations Glitch Productions did, Liam Vickers, the author, admits there are some ideas put in the first episode that later they decided to drop. Iirc one example he gives is the dude robot Uzi meets in detention which would have been more more relevant originally but his presence was scrapped.

Considering the shifts in direction throughout the series, it feels like there were other retcons not commented about too.

A major one I get this impression is Cyn / The Resolver's introduction in the story and her growing relevance, which felt rather abrupt imo, with even the solution to defeating her giving a rather sudden and out of the blue sensation (small tangent, but the Tombmasters' music might be an explanation to that "defeat", but I need to rewatch it and properly check the lyrics).

Now, in "Meet J", elements that give this feeling of tying in retcons that come to mind:

  • when Cyn says through the call that she'd be participating personally in the process, giving a reason to her relevance and her now "sudden" apparition in quotation marks
  • better context for the split among the 3 murder drones
  • focus in the J&C, as in, not an once real company, but Murder Drone J & Cyn?
  • The episode ending with a scene from the first episode, giving a reference for when all this was happening

It'd been floating in my head for a while and wanted to share.

For me, i interpret her and the solver to be 1 entity yet not

to elaborate, i think that when she got tricked by the solver into letting it in, the two over time sort of... merged, the malice and the hunger coming from the solver's consciousness, the sillyness and playfullness and cuteness coming from Cyn. Furthermore, i think that the version of Cyn we see in Uzi's tail at the end of the show is simply pure Cyn, none of the solver's influence for the most part.

I suddenly realized that JC Jenson is a parody on SC Johnson. Probably widely known already, but I thought I should share anyway.

Do you know why I probably liked or enjoyed Murder Drones?

It's because I made my own fan character named Jayden "Jay" Rosebloom for the Murder Drones series, and I apologize for the not-so-great screenshot quality.

Let me know what you think of this character in the comments! (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

P.S. Not a huge fan of Murder Drones, so sorry about that :3
