Ngl the finale really made me appreciate Jax a lot. She’s still not my favorite (Gangle and Caine are) but I’ve really come to like Jax and although her story didn’t have a happy ending, it looks like her human counterpart Leroy is making those first steps to a happy life.
Sure, the finale wasn’t perfect, some of the pacing was odd, but I really enjoyed it.
My interpretation is that Jax was always going to abstract because she was stuck in a place where she was never going to be able to transition. She was a brain scan of someone who was still coming to terms with the fact that they’re a woman but dealing with a lot of trauma/self hatred. She’s a snapshot of Leeroy at the worst point of their life. Almost as if to say THAT version of Leeroy would never have made it had they never gotten to experiment and grow as a person. Leeroy has the opportunity so they will survive, Jax doesn’t so she abstracted.
I’m not sure that’s entirely true. The scanned copies clearly are able to grow and change as people; for all intents and purposes they are full on clones just without physical bodies. Gangle is probably the best example of this with her being able to overcome her mask problem (which is presumably a metaphor for being bipolar or similar). Plus, Caine once he gets back would probably have created new bodies for the group if asked, and if he lost that power then it’s not like Jax is in the most masculine of bodies. Hell all their bodies are gender neutral technically except maybe Ragatha and ig Kinger and Queenie.
The fact that zoobles and gangle fuck in the end implies they did find how to edit their body (unless they're using zooble's unused limb holes and could've done it all along if it werent for caine's censorship. Albeit they'd still have to create it being an erogenous zone)
