Good Bye to All That: Sweet Tooth S1

This week on Good Bye to All That, new host Michael T.
Ford III is joined by Rhiannon Kincaid
of Marvel News Desk, to
discuss Netflix's series Sweet Tooth, based on the DC Vertigo
comic series by Jeff LeMire. On a perilous adventure across a
post-apocalyptic world, a lovable boy who's half-human and
half-deer searches for a new beginning with a gruff
protector.


Show Topics discussed include:


-How Sweet Tooth differed from the MCU Disney Plus series in
terms of tone, theme, and willingness to take narrative risks
while still presenting an all-ages product


- The importance of Gus and the impact of being introduced to the
world through Gus' eyes


- The development of the central relationship between Gus and
Tommy "Big Man" Jeppard over the course of the season


- How the season plays with time and timelines to emphasize the
changes to the world and its people


- The role of the Animal Army, the Bear/Tiger schism, and the
Lost Boys/Winnie the Pooh parallels


- Suburban paranoia as depicted by the Singhs and
"post-apocalyptic Karen" Nancy


- Aimee Eden, the Preserve, the power of found family, and her
overall awesomeness


- Whether General Abbot was too cartoonishly evil as the series'
Big Bad, or just the right amount of cartoonishly evil


- What’s next for our reshuffled pairings in Season 2, and what
we'd like to see from them. (Neither of us have read the comic,
so don't spoil us!)
