I wished Birdie would have been alive and survived till the end and what Singh said that Jepp will die in his dream so I thought Jepp will die in the end and Gus's mom will now look over Gus.
Didn't really like the whole human bad message. Also birdie went to alaska to find a cure for 3 seasons then the final 2 episodes she's like, fuck it everyone should die.
I know I probably missed something but why did Birdie keep saying she started to sick if the tree did? Why did the sick start at that specific time if the tree was bleeding 100+ years ago?
It’s a cycle because you can see dr Singh holding Gus’s antler and then the antler sprouting into a plant making it another virus tree and so that would affect the hybrids and not the humans since the humans aren’t there anymore and the hybrids are and then maybe after the new virus gets out it will kill the hybrids making new species and so on like a cycle
Jepp's fate is ambiguous, but I think he died as there are many clues: - once he lies down outside the cave we never see him get up and at this point it's clear that he is severely injured (and in a harsh, cold climate, in the middle of nowhere and without medical help this means death) - Wendy and Bear don't try to help, they walk away after talking with Gus - all of them understand that this is only a matter of time and that this is the time for the "son" to say goodbye to his "father" - we also don't see Jepp in the scenes showing the reunion with hybrid kids and how the sanctuary is being built, which strongly implies that he never got back from Alaska with them - why Jepp asks Gus to tell him a story in the first place? it seems he wants a bedtime story so he can go to sleep (and never wake up) - right before the scene with Jepp in the sanctuary, the old Gus says that "he lives on in our stories" - a clue that what we see next is not what actually happened, but just a story - when Jepp asks about his fate in Gus' story - at first we see an empty chair, which could be just to build tension / play with our emotions, but it also could be a clue that he is not actually there - that would mean that in Alaska Gus knows that Jepp is close to death, but he alters the story he is telling to comfort him as he is dying That last realization destroyed me. Very powerful ending.
It's also possible he saw jebb the way he saw his dad, who was also dead. I, too, think jebb died in Alaska, the tone was very much accepting what is going to happen, especially after gus had the talk about letting things go and letting things happen as they need to.
Pubba said Jepp wasn't going to survive, and Gus knew that too. Gus was able to say goodbye thanks to growing up fast on the boat. Jepp died, but lives in the story.
@@jackofhearts5542 Yeah, I'm just not sure if that was just how Gus wished it would happen. It doesn't seem plausible that Big Man would make it back, but I hope it was real and not just how he wanted the story to go.
I was expecting the show to end similarly to the comics where Gus would grow up leading his community in a war against the last human stronghold and then slowly see his people grow an advance, but this feels a lot better, a more peaceful ending that still brings the same themes of the comic
He did die. It was heavily implied that old gus wanted to leave a positive image for big man’s legacy. Pretty sure he succumbed to his wounds outside of the cave. Plus, he dies in the comics as well
@@AFIYINFOLUWA yeah and also look at the expression of old Gus when he asked about big man. If he realky survived the expression wouldn't like that...
I'd like to think that jep survived and got able to have a fatherly relationship with gus 😅 although I think he truly deserved to tell gus how he feels about him, or gus hearing jep saying that Gus is his child maybe even leading Gus to question and argue with jep about their relationship
@@vbmorris81 yeah..imagine having a part where gus and jep question their relationship, not exactly fitting the urgency of the situation with the sick but to me it's a really good contrast, to think about what really matters, specifically since we know that when the blood leaks out again every human gets to the verge of dying, and with birdie's death and all, it makes it all the more emotional and beautiful
@@jhonhoppins522 Considering it was hinted at being loss of a relationship rather than loss of a life earlier (she was seen alive in the scene coming directly after) I think it's maybe open ended. Also worth nothing that it's possible the sick was cured before she could die from it. So I think it's open ended
I cried because I’m a single father trying to fix my family to be as one and this took me to the grave in tears I love it! I’d love to see at least 1 more season of what happens after the humans die 💯
I'm sorry, but this was the last season. But if you wanna find out more about the story. You can read the comics or perhaps watch a video on RU-vid about the story of the comics.
No doubt it was one of my favourite shows off all time. Couldn’t help myself and already read the comics but it was such a good series. although I wish to see a little bit more of Older Gus Im happy they give the show a proper ending like you said. ❤
the dead doctor holding the antler with the leaf growing from it... I felt like that meant the tree may bring humans back in a few thousand years when its mature like the burnt one. *Shrug*
I have two main criticisms of this season. 1. for one, I would have loved to see a tribute to every person who helps Gus along his journey that he showed the kids, maybe it could be a book he painted (like pubba's), or something like what they had for the members of the animal army. I just think it would be nice, as well as a reminder to the audience 2. I still am really mad about the plot hole of pregnancy and hybrids. From what I gathered, the plan was to "cure" Ginger right before she gave birth in order for the baby to be human, but that makes absolutely no sense, even is she was cured, the hybrid traits would have already developed, this goes for the entire show too. Other than that, I really liked this season, Just wish it wqas longer
I don’t know if that counts as a plot hole. Because there was never a cure for hybrids that’s just what zhang thought. They thought it was the cure to everything. Her understand of how the cure would work was just misconstrued and off but, it’s not a plot hole because it doesn’t contradict or retcon anything it’s just a bit unknown about her thought process about the cure and how human/hybrid fits into that. And I feel like the pregnancy was just prejudices against being born hybrid. If the child was born a hybrid I think regardless of if the “cure ” could turn it around she’d still have some prejudices and not accept it. Her thought process must be if it comes into this world as a hybrid then that’s what they’ll always be. It’s the classic villain doesn’t understand the full picture and fails because of it. But Gus and the crew never believed hybrids were the problem or could be “cured” they were only focused on the sick. Even this misconception that gus was the first hybrid because everyone was lacking info. It just ended up being classified as a nature or evolutionary thing rather than a supernatural or scientific thing. Edit: well I guess you can classify what the referred to as nature as supernatural as well. Since it decided to let the remaining humans live because it felt the good that they have in Big Man, Birdie, and Singhs final moments.
I don’t know if that counts as a plot hole. Because there was never a cure for hybrids that’s just what zhang thought. It’s the classic villain doesn’t understand the full picture and fails because of it.
And none of you actually had an issue with the polar night? That was supposed to be a 6 month night, and after the climax there was a sunrise. And story wise, it didn't pass 8-10 hours maybe.
@@victorslt2012 I also thought of that! especially disappointing because it wasnt even important to the plot that the polar night was happening. Additionaly, the face that they barely had enough food at the outpost but somehow did at the end, with extra for zhang's people.
For two I think you have to understand that people arent rational. Especially controlling, power hungry people. There once a dictator who killed anyone who wore glasses because they thought they were too smart. (Google it) Her warped vision of a perfect legacy lead to her being unrealistic and obsessive. She desperately wanted a "real" geandchild and even if it made no sense she was going to try to make rhat grandkid a non-hybrid no matter what.
this season was no doubt darker as Gus was challenged against Humanity's darkness. But he never gave in and fought till the very end along side Big Man and all of his friends. All of the episodes were great and loved every second of it. Very emotional too
If Tommy Jepperd died in the last episode, It would have been the biggest disappointed ending of the third season. but I’m glad he’s still alive at the end sitting with gus. Best Ending of the Third Series.
I guess you could call me a poetic person but I honestly thought that humans all dying at that instant when the blood of the earth was exposed was a very fair and touching way to put it. However of course that just doesn't fit Gus' way of thinking or the tone of the show
In the comic, hybrid and human are always fighting in a war. Gus lead his army with bow and arrows, he fighting until he grows up. Human and hybrid live separately, they kinda still hate each other.
This is the best adventure tv show I’ve ever seen so far, the ending was really emotional 😭 that it literally made me cry. Will there be another amazing tv show like this one??
I actually haven’t cried this hard ever since my nana died, But like seriously?! Netflix can’t just drop the last season of a series that is unbelievably amazing and the most sad shit ever! Like 4 am on a school night and now I can’t sleep because I cried too much and if I try I will do nothing but think about the ending! Even though it’s an amazing ending! This is still the best series ever though. I would literally die and be reborn again just so I could rewatch every single episode and wait every year for a new season to come out…
Me, persinally... i did not like the ending. I think it was just bold, it gave a indirect message that ALL humans are "bad" and animals deserve the world. Sure! Humans can be very horrible but it still felt like an insult to the human race! Give me one day and i could tell a better ending... but at the end its just my opinion.
Season 3 Episode 8 had my 9 yr old and I crying on and off the whole time, but at the very end, seeing BIG Manbcome sit in the chair next to Gus had us both BALLING, HUGGING EACHOTHER and JUMPING up and down. I going to miss the shit out of Sweet Tooth🦌💛🦌
This is a classical example of a compelling and intriguing production. From the very first episode in Season 1 to the last episode. A lot of directors can learn from such ❤
Season 3 episode 7 too many plot contrivances! e.g., Fox girl easily gets the clicker even though the wolves surround Rosie at all times, Jeppard easily finds Gus in the Caribou man's house, Zingh and Dr. Singh easily find the cave, the survivors decide it's the best move to take harpoon guns to try and stop a 10-ton machine instead of the guns laying on the floor, all the antagonist easily enter the cave and pass by the blue flowers that give the sickness only showing that they used fire at the end to clear the tunnels not originally to get thru, and they passed by the ice and water without incident, and everyone easily escaped without any falling into said water. Annoying and lazy writing. Not to mention Dr. Singh was like 10 feet away from stabbing Gus when Birdie and Big Man had enough time to get in between Gus and he somehow stabbed her. That was dumb. Then he's given another chance which just plays up the drama and drags it out even more. By the second time, Zingh would have just grabbed the knife and said, "I'll do it myself!" And what is this with two guys easily able to hold down Big Man? They do it a bunch of times but more in these last two episodes. All of that just takes me out of the season and ruins the finale IMO.
Easily one of my favorite series of all time. Kept me hooked the entire way through, and the ending left me so emotional yet satisfied with how the saga concluded ❤️ What a beautiful ride this series was ❤❤❤
I agree. The show suggested that animals "don't destroy everything like humans". Whoever actually believes this idea doesn't have much experience with animals, especially in groups larger than 2. Animals are self focused, DON'T clean up their own messes, can hold grudges for years against each other, are bullies if they can get away with it and don't have a better nature than humans in any way, they just are not intelligent enough to create tools that create more widespread destruction. Humans have the same basic selfish nature, but many at least WANT to overcome it. This series's existence is evidence that humans recognize evil in themselves and wish to change. My wife and I really enjoyed the plot and story, but disagree with the conclusion that animals would be better care takers of the earth and disagree that humans being killed off is a good thing. Why did Avengers suggest the same idea? Is this the new woke theme? "All or most humans should did so Nature can be free of the human disease?". Where did that idea come from?
remember listened to a joe rogan podcast with founders of a AI company and they mentioned that there're a lot of those who embrace existential nihilistic world view. even though they understand that continuing on developing AI without proper countermeasures is almost a certain doom of humanity they still are going on with their work.
What about locusts or termites? If some humans are more destructive, it's not because humans are morally inferior but because animals don't have the technology to perform their will more strongly. Or what about invasive species? Species that come from one part of the world can destroy lots of other species. That invasive species has NO moral compass to preserve anything. Human beings (in general) at least have a desire to preserve what is around them. While not every human listens, humans have the capacity for conscience: to decide within themselves "I have the ability to do this, the desire to do this, but it would be immoral, so I won't." Animals just act on what they have the desire and ability to do unless they are afraid of immediate consequences.
Yes, the ordinary person has good in them. However, when it comes to those in power, either politically or financially, this isn't always the case. Unfortunately, they make the decisions based on whats good for them. We do not have great form when it comes to being stewards of the earth. War, pollution, destruction of other species, and genocide. We have humans who are rich whilst others die of starvation. Healthcare that is not universal. Animals are not greedy, they're not malicious. They do what they need to, to survive. We destroy ecosystems. Then wonder why mother nature sends us viruses like covid? Trying to restore the balance, perhaps? This isn't woke, this in many ways, a story of hope. Hope that humanity can change. We probably won't agree. However, I appreciate and can see your point of view. This is just mine.
No other animal besides humans cares about anything but themselves… sigh humans just became the best at it. Again this show is waaaaaaaaay too preachy but thanks for recap.
How hibridy to live?, humans will killed them, dont have a way that humans live if they killed and make horrible things with hybrids. If human was born again hybrids will died. Because humans will killed hybrids how they always making
Loved the series and the ending was really emotional but I'd like it better if big man died like he did in the comics because that would have made the ending better and emotional. And the fact that the entire season it was hinted that he wasn't in good shape and at the end it was said that this might be his last adventure, so the fact that the entire season it was hinted that he might die and then in the end he didn't just made it feel like they played too safe and were scared to kill him.
Damn it I dont remember how the virus got exposed world wide meanwhile the virus was actually over 100 years old. Gus is actually the 2nd hydrid, I still dont get it. cuz Gus was made in the lab but the Sick wasnt released yet? Can someone refresh my mind
The scientists found the ship, on which all of the crew died with virus, and the virus left behind flowers, from which virus spread anew and Gus, somehow, got conceived in chicken egg... Yeah, the plot is all over the place.
@@cardboard2night yeaaah the boat, but what I know the Sick was expose later? It took time to create Gus and I remember someone laying in the bed a old person dying. I think that person was patient Zero. It was somewhere when Birdie meet Puppa, I may be wrong
If I remember correctly, the Fort Smith scientists brought ice core samples back they dug at the site of Thacker’s ship. Gillian was related to Thacker and was looking for something to stop human aging. Once they got the cores back to the lab, they tested the microbes they found in eggs. Of the eggs that developed one strain started the Sick and it spread fast. Gillian was the first to show symptoms from the Fort Smith personnel and the first to die, as far as we know, from the Sick in out time. The other egg hatched Gus. But the first Hybrid was the Caribou Man and the first victims of the Sick were Thacker and his crew.
Bro I would have liked it if it was the opposite and Jep is the one who died and not Birdie 😭😭😭 I would have accepted Jep's Death bcs it seems more fitting since in the comics he died, even though I don't know much about the comics
Same, love jep but I would have been okay with his death because it would have felt fulfilling. But birdies death I cried because he just met her and she wanted to grow with him.
I understand the direction the story took and I think it was well done. However, I have one major complaint -- why kill-off Gus' mom? That was just too sad, and typical. Too many shows have the mother die. The character struggles through their life with this tragedy nipping at their heels, creating dramatic elements. In Sweet Tooth, Gus had been motherless the entire story so we could have had a happier ending there. Although, was it the work she did that caused "the sick" to spread? Unless I missed something, was her death a necessity? Too sad.
This season was awful. The ending itself was satisfactory -knowing the hybrids future. But a lot of it didn’t make sense. Why did they introduce the 100+ year old hybrid, kill him, and then not make it a point of contention when they were trying to kill Gus? Isn’t the reason they believed they had to kill Gus is because he was the first? Also-when gus, big man, and his mom had to carefully move through the frozen flowers it was a big dramatic scene because if one became disturbed they’d get the sick. and then a bit later the protagonists (can’t remember her name) team torched the place and no one got sick. Maybe I missed something. But I was left more questions about why they released the season the way they did rather than actually being captivated by the story.
Also, wtf happened to the village in Alaska? All of their power was used up that they needed to survive the winter. Again, I might have missed something.
at the end i saw that gus horn (the broken one) than Dr. singht took had some kind of leaf or something like that. (Minute 41:30) i think that another tree will grow from that
My only critique is that the special power Gus used in season 2 to summon other animals as a sort of attack wasn’t there. I was waiting for a bunch of polar bears to come attack or something and was a bit sad it didn’t happen. It’s like they forgot about that.
it certainly was a great series. i too also be Jepp didnt make it back 😢 unfortunately. but his legacy lives on. i don’t know if anyone noticed but at the end there is a sprout coming out of antler Dr. Singh was holding. this indicates even though the Sick ended at that time, there could be another Sick in the future if anyone tries to mess with the nature. I was wondering- Did the bat boy survived? i remember the parents got killed by Zhang, but i thought the boy flew away. it would have been nice if they showed what happened.
The ending was a bit unsatisfying. The tree being magical with the ability to control all life on earth and the virus being a red herring is kind of an annoying twist.
thats an issue i had with the show too especially starting in season 2 somtimes it felt like it went towards ana adult audience and other times it felt tooo kiddy
I would like to have seen human and the the hybrid getting along together and I would love to have seen Dr Singh his wife in the in the among the humans . Did Dr Zayn well that mean woman throughout the whole show did she ever come out of Alaska I noticed their hit her plane was going over her
The big man definitely died while Gus was telling the story. The ending was beautiful. Gus was the one telling the story the whole time! and he always tell the story with a good ending even if it wasn't true .... just like the way he told everyone about the lizard boy. This is a story of innocence, hope and growth. It is a good origin story. I hope they make a spin off.
I would like to have seen human and the the hybrid getting along together and I would love to have seen Dr Singh his wife in the in the among the humans
Not gonna lie jeb def died as because i think that the tree couldnt heal him fully but allow him to atleast see that gus is ok. Jeb in the end died and only said that he survived just to tell him that hey if you were alive we wouldve had the best time. I was crying the whole damn time😭😭
I was crying when i saw Gus's mom died😭 Then big man got the sick and i cried even harder During the story at the end when wendy and gus cuddle i had to hug my mom it was to cute!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
I loved the first but of the season and the ending was exactly what it should have been. However I can't be the only one who thought the pacing of the Alaska parts was shot to hell? Like it seemed like every plot point was so rushed that nothing made any sense. People would just majically appear where they needed to be with either no explanation or non-sense explanations, and every arguments was just "I'm not helping! You should. Okay I'm completely on your side now." Overall a good season but man, the writing really struggled to get past "meh"
Not the first time Gus rewriting about someone dying to make it easier on the listeners. Chameleon Roy was the first. I agree with all the critiques. I find very confusing there was more than one strain for the sick, considering that it wasn't biological, but magical.
Such a slow show. Couldnt get past season 2 but I was generally curious about the ending. Happy I watched this instead, cause that ending seems stupid.
Genera Abbot was a more superior villain than Zhang. Seems like the writes also forgot that Gus has a superpower seeing as he was able to start a stampede when Abbot was about to kill Jepperd; wish they had given that superpower another go. The birth of the Ginger's child was also a poor story point: if the hybrid change occurs in the 3rd trimester, why would they think that burning the tree just prior to the birth of the child would change anything? Seems like a cop out, and the writers just didn't seem to know how to resolve the plot point
I bawled my eyes out. I never do that, I might shed a tear but never full on bawl my eyes out. The ending was so bittersweet and it was so well done I couldn’t be mad even though I wanted to it was perfect.
Im looking for the comments about the slim chance the outpost folks wouldve had in rebuilding. With no power left surely they wouldve been on that plane too?
I did like the ending and fully agree but....I was kinda hoping for a more middle ground ending and gus pulling the axe out was more a reference to the lion and the mouse story and the tree ended up being a giant deer that returned balance back where eventually human babies would return and everyone just lived with nature and together kinda thing
I personally think the lore of the tree could still have more details than this ,and that burning down the tree is to just let the nature choose, is also really vague for me. If there have a bit of more back story about the tree, it might be a bit more interesting and feel complete. Also I would like to see the life of other families too, I thought I could at least see Rosie and her boys living their life freely in the woods, or maybe how the family with bat boys were doing, but I guess maybe they don’t have enough money to focus on that in the end 🤷♀️
The Sweet Tooth definitely isn’t for kids. Wish the show was more like the comic in that regard. The last 15 minutes of the finale I was balling tears. BIG MAN LIVED!
