Y: The Last Man 2021

I will definitely watch the pilot as I am really interested to see how they plan to "explore gender and race" when there is only one male left alive. Seems like a very one-sided exploration.

@player8472 Lighten up, buttercup. It's based on a 2002 Vertigo comic book.

@player8472 Seems to me that Yorick's exploration of gender and race matters just as much as any of the women's exploration of gender and race. Or are you saying that the man's story doesn't matter?

@player8472 Just imagine how much fun the one guy is going to have with all the females...hope there's still viagra left in the world.

@player8472 are you implying that gender and race only exist when men are included? do women not have gender and race?

also - the main character of this story is a man, which makes your comment both petty AND nonsensical.

1st: This is only in defense of the comment and not commenting on the actual show (since I still haven't had time to watch it)

2nd:It actually doesn't.
Exploration needs a decent sample-size. ONE while technically a size isn't a big enough size.

The comment would also stand if it was the last woman.

Realistically you can only explore the end of the world, since one man can't repopulate the planet. (Although frozen embrios and sperm could be helpful in an actual solution).

BUT 3rd: The comment was indirectly also about how every show and movie gets advertised with "exploration of gender/race" or "diverse cast" (interetingly enough also if all but one character is black - to be clear: I liked Black Lightning and Delilah, but the protagonists have all the same skin color, it just isn't white :) which means they aren't diverse).

4th: I didn't write that it was false as I hadn't watched it yet, I thought and still think that it is unlikely.

5th: When I get to watching it and I will write what I thought about the actual story compared to the plotline. (Just as I critiqued Big Sky for having someone who died in the first Episode on the Poster)

Oh and @DJ ElITE: You might want to check out some other comments I wrote - you'd see that Buttercup is the wrong insult.
