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!)
