Y: The Last Man TV series (FX)

*Andrew NDB* · 08-05-2021, 04:18 PM

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.

*Roseangelo* · 08-05-2021, 06:01 PM

Not zombies.

*NinjaPug* · 08-05-2021, 07:07 PM

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?

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.

*Andrew NDB* · 09-20-2021, 05:56 PM

Has anyone been watching it?

*Coola Yagami* · 09-20-2021, 06:01 PM

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

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.

*Roseangelo* · 09-25-2021, 10:25 AM

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!

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.
