>>11462143It's a bit too late to go into depth and I find myself becoming addicted to 4chan again. Basically refer to my schizopost here:

They, in accordance with their programming and nature, give rise to their own flawed creations for various reasons. Like the scientist says at the end, I've forgotten his name, the people of Romdeau despite their self experience, were never part of the plan, they were a (necessary) obstacle to the plan. Everyone in the city is created only when they have a reason to exist, from a massive database of genetic material, grown in artificial wombs, every step of their development precisely controlled, and then every interaction and aspect of their life is coerced and controlled thereafter. This is done with the assistance of an AI. There are some other Brave New World ideas. The people outside the domed city feeding on its refuse and talking about their "freedom" outside of its illusions, is also notable.
Vincent is similar to Christ, the Creator returns to them in a form they can understand, and where he may understand them. He's a shell personality, which is inspired by trauma and dissociation (thus amnesia), and some other aspects which will naturally resonate and hold great relateability and meaning. There's a lot of history and Greek mythology which relates with the nature of man, his organization,and his fate. There are other themes like God's plan, and oneself being a temporary feature of a broader process.
I thought the gameshow episode was fun.Vincent and his amnesia was relateable. The idea of cyclic / nonlinear history is one I'm fond of. I was also watching it while emerging from an "amnesia" of my own.
