Y: The Last Man TV series (FX)
 

Based on the Brian K. Vaughn comic. Hits next month.



Oddly... kind of seems more relevant than ever now. For many, this is their utopia.

Zombies? meh, they're so plaid out. I thought this'd be a harlem anime where a guy is getting all this pussy since he's the only one left.

No. There are no zombies in this that I am aware of. It's about every man on the planet suddenly dying... except one. And then it's about his adventures.

Not zombies.

Please be good.

Honestly a little shocked this is actually a thing after being in development hell forever.

Development hell for like a decade and NOW, during the plague (lol), this is getting going? :tlol: :tlol: :tlol: :tlol:

Well... that we're getting this now means it was already going at the beginning of COVID (which is not a plague) or shortly thereafter.

I'd be all in, but only if he has the monkey! I loved that comic series.

Has anyone been watching it?

We all know if there's a plague the sole survivor is gonna be Cybercubed.

This has been something I've been meaning to read for years. And now I'll probably be meaning to watch it for years.

I'm not familiar with the source material. Is this a woke reimagining of it?

It's based on a Bryan K. Vaughn comic series that ran for several years through DC's Vertigo imprint. It always looked really interesting, but I never got around to reading it.

I don't know if they've "woked" out the show beyond it's initial premise, but I always thought it was an interesting premise. I'll have to pick up the Graphic Novel at some point... but I've been saying that for more than ten years now soooo.....

The comic series was great. I habe the 3 giant compendiums of it after being loaned some of the trades early on & enjoying those. Might have to dig them out & read it again.

Yeah those are the volumes I'm always looking for on the cheap but never pulled the trigger on.

I snagged them on Amazon years back all at once. Read them within a week I think. Literally couldn't put them down.

The forum haters would call you a liar and swear that you never actually read it... You know... because it's a story about the prominence of women. :lol:

So has anyone watched the series? Is it any good?

Lol this is too funny. "Prominence of women"? Um, there's literally only ONE man left on the planet! It's kind of right there in the title that "women are prominent", or at least the almost exclusively depicted gender in the story. Heck in the comics, they even made a point to show that ALL males of EVERY species was affected, and that every living thing on the planet with a Y chromosome would become extinct within a generation.

On an interesting side note, most birds would probably be exempt, since avian chromosome sexing is not based on an X/Y base, but has a seperate typing. Something I picked up a while back. So presumably, there would still be plenty of chickens and other fowl! (Which the comic never mentions, and probably just assumed they were X/Y....)

I'm considering downloading it, but I don't know if it will ruin me for the comic! :lol:

I'd basically rather read the comic first. On that note, I've still never read the Walking Dead either, but I also gave up on that show some seasons back.

TWD comics are far superior than the show, with the exception of the last couple issues of the comics.... which I won't spoil.

I only play an @$$hole on the internet. :tlol:

I enjoyed the comic series. What man wouldn't want to be "the last" and get to have all the women he wants? :tlol: I mean, if I was the Last Man on Earth, I could have Gal Gadot or pretty much any favorite hollywood star or pretty much any woman... lol. I'd honestly still pick the pretty "girl next door" type... And my best lady friend would suddenly be available... lol.

Oh I know what happens there. I've kept up on it through social media and wiki and so on. Most disappointing and abrupt ending ever. I wonder if Kirkman will ever do his "an alien invasion caused the zombie apocalypse" thing....

I imagine that the last man on Earth would be treated more like a zookept science experiment than a king......

Thats probably true.... with Ds in charge, the Last Man would get locked up & probably violently jerked off daily for his swimmers....

I've been watching it through the latest episode, 5. It's decent.

The Vertigo Curse continues first Constantine got only 1 season than Swamp Thing got Cancelled before the first season is over and now Y The Last Man is not moving forward on FX they are trying to shop it to another home/ it is cancelled

#YTheLastMan will not get a second season on FX and while I’m disappointed, I know this extraordinary show that has so much to say, and that says it so well, will find a great new home soon. Looking forward to the next chapter.

If you’re with me, let the world know.

Not a shock.

Love the book but the show is pretty boring and is another generic post apocalyptic show. No need to catch up and finish out the season now.

I've been enjoying it. Probably isn't woke enough, and it shows republicans as something other than evil nazis so we can't have that.

Nah, it was probably cancelled because the general public probably thinks that it's more timely woke $#!( based on it's premise alone and so no one was watching it.

Yeah, I could see that being so as well. If I already didn't know it was originally a comic from years back well before the crazies hijacked everything, I would 100% believe this was some kind of leftist fantasy brought to TV.

There was an episode of Sliders based on this...

It's sort of sad how this project was in development hell for so long, then when it finally came out, it just comes and goes so quickly.

I really enjoyed the comic, but wasn't in a rush to check out the series. I may eventually, but I guess I feel a little burned when it comes to television adaptations of comics. Some are very good, but most don't click with me.

So its cancellation isn't quite so simple:

And don't forget the classic Roddy Piper film, "Hell Comes To Frogtown"! :tgrin:

Well, in that case there were technically other guys and he was simply the only one left who had active sperm, therefore he was necessary for the survival of the species since every other guy was sterile. And there were giant rubber-suit lizard guys with bazookas.

But otherwise it's the same, more or less. :lol:

“Hell Comes To Frogtown” is a classic film! Insane and pure 80’s cheese in every sense! Still not Piper’s best though. That remains “They Live”

"They Live" should be required viewing for everyone. Like they should literally teach that thing in Social Studies class.

Oh, wait, no... the entire point of school nowadays is to turn kids into mindless conformist consumer sheep. So that won't work. Bah!

Anyway, more people should watch it regardless.

Agreed! That movie is easily one of my top five favorites of all time! Absolutely brilliant stuff and Piper was a freakin’ gem in it!

Let's not forget Meg Foster. Mrowr.

She never really did anything for me and her eyes kind of creep me out:tlol:
