GENLOSS SPOILERS AHEAD
Holy fucking first episode of generation loss just happened AND IT WAS SO COOL so I need to rant about it. first of all THE CHARACTERS ARE SO COOL? AND LIKE HOW WE GET TO CONTROL OUR HERO? WITH THE BUILT IN TWITCH THING? AND THEN WE CREATED THE MONSTER AND LIKE ALL THE MUSIC IS SO AWESOME? AND THE SETS SO COOL. AND LIKE I CAN TELL ITS SILLY GOOFY BUT THERES TOTALLY SOMETHING REALLY SINSISTER BEHIND IT ALL. Cant wait to spend the next couple days analyzing this instead of sleeping. In all seriousness though this is the coolest fucking thing ever. I know so many hours of work and meetings and sweat and tears went into this project and it was so so so worth it. Its been so amazing following this process ever since ranboo had the idea of creating a horror project. Like I remember when the ranboo but spooky ranmail channel was created and I was like "yoo a horror project that's so cool" but like actually seeing it all come together is SO SO AWESOME. Like it has brought a whole community of theorists together and we have a whole google doc and spreadsheet and everything. Also props to charlie and sneeg and the gouls as well everyone did such an amazing job. ALSO I ALREADY SAID THIS BUT THE MUSIC WAS SO GOOD? LIKE OH MY GOD IM SO HYPED FOR THE OST RELEASE.
anyway there is so much more I could rant about but like I don't want this to be too long so like AMAZING JOB RANBOO and everyone go buy genloss merch to support the project

Genloss is rotting my brain so SPOILER WARNING!
Thoughts :
1. Is showfall censoring the perception of the characters as well or just the audience ?
The obvious choice seems to be the first. Ranboo seemed to practically turn into an NPC about halfway through episode 2 today and go into auto pilot, which would insist that they really don’t know what’s going on. This also ties into when the hat is put on Sneeg and he is completely horrified by the room around him because he’s finally seeing the truth for the first time.
But what if showfall is just censoring their reactions? What if these characters can see everything that is going on around them and are rendered fully incapable of showing any emotion about it because of the mind control? This adds such a deeper level of horror to the slimecicle “saw scene” for lack of better words because this would mean that Ranboo is trapped inside his own head, fully aware he is killing someone and not only incapable of stopping himself but incapable of reacting to it at all.
2. Niki’s character is not only so unsettling, but beautifully acted
We are introduced to these characters on the carousel and you’re instantly gravitated towards her. She’s terrified. She’s sobbing. She has so much to live for and you want to save her! Why wouldn’t you want the only character who seems deeply human to survive this? But the moment she gets the chance to argue for her own life to be saved the act drops, she doesn’t even wipe the tears off of her face, and a plastered smile takes over her persona. Her emotions switch fast enough to give you whiplash and you can’t even process it before they’re moving onto the next.
The switch up was so well acted by Niki (she is so incredible I love her sm) and added such a twist, making you question if she should be saved, if she’s being mind controlled, if she’s a decoy, or if she’s really terrified and just doing anything she can to be saved by our protagonist.
3. Who was jerma????
The second the hat was put on Sneeg, Jerma froze so hard I had to check if my stream was buffering. He was scared and had no clue how to react, as if he was about to ask for his next like on the script. He wasn’t a diabolical villain like you would first assume from the saw-esque traps going on, he was just another mind controlled guy. So did he actually get killed by showfall? What did he do to warrant his murder? Was his death just the same as Sneeg and Slime in the last episode? Will he be recasted again in the finale?
4. And this leads me to my last thought, are these characters the same person being mind controlled differently?
Slime and Sneeg specifically were two separate people compared between the two episodes, while Ranboo is the same person going through out the game.
Sneeg and slime both referenced back to when they were in the games, with sneeg mentioning playing the cooking game and slime playing mousetrap and eating the cage.
So does this insist that Ranboo will be cast into these games for the next hero if he fails? Or are these separate people completely?
This project had been SO incredibly cool so far and after seeing how episode 2 completely changed the entire perception of the first episode, I can’t wait to do it all again with the finale and get my mind absolutely blown. Ranboo is so incredible and I can’t believe I’ve been here since he was goofing around with this idea originally.
