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
@@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.
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.
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 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
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 UA-cam about the story of the comics.
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
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.
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. ❤
@@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
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
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 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 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 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…
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 ❤❤❤
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
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.
Yep I cried during the last 2 episodes. Such a great full circle moment showing old Gus was the narrator this whole time. One last time getting to watch Big man and Gus have a shot of Syrup in the end. Great show. Great ending!
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.
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!
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!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely amazing series, the ending was perfect for me personally, and this goes down as one of my favorite series of all time, I wish this series all the success 🙏🙏💯❤️❤️
He was the first Hybrid. 100+ years ago. Remember Thacker’s men committed suicide to stop The Sick from spreading. So Munaq was the only hybrid until Gus was born.
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.
my only question is will the little green sprout from gus's antler turn into another tree or is that just a metaphor for how life grows in the darkest of places or whatever
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 🤷♀️
I really want this season for some reason after watching the finale and including that man dies off gave me a really depressing feeling, show was really great
This was a surprisingly good season with interesting characters.Poor Gus lost so many loved ones. Christian’s acting was top notch in the final episodes.
Can some one explained why the Sick didn't spread 100 yrs ago; and how did the first hybrid managed to scaped from the men who took him from his mother.
I really enjoyed this show. There were a few moments that didn’t quite add up throughout the series like with the Carabou guy but overall it was a fun watch. There are clues pointing both ways with whether big man made it off the mountain or not, but I believe he did. I feel like if he did end up dying they would have had a scene of Gus honoring him in some way. Maybe a grave or a carving in a tree or something.
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
The tonal shifts can be a bit awkward but i think its intentional to show the sort of world the adults want the kids to experience, how the kids experience it and how the bleak reality the adults are experiencing. Every adult death had a certain weight to it. Those who were destructive to the children and the earth, the audience felt relief that they were finally gone. While the adults wo demonstrated, even if brief , of either caring for the hybrid kids or cherished the Earth their death is tragic, heartbreaking or get a sense they feel fulfilled or at peace with their actions. These as Gus says continue to live on with the hybrids meaning the humans who cared deeply for their family, others and the earth were remembered, which is what most older gens want is to be remembered for the good they did.
The tree was there since the beginning it just wasn't meant to be touched / messed with because it was exactly that. A temptation to humans. When Thacker discovered the tree he thought it was the fountain of youth and wanted more so that's why he tried to take the sap for himself and that's why the sick / corruption started and why Gus said that all that humans do is take things that do not belong to them
Sweet Tooth is originally a comic book. In the comic there is no tree in the cave. There are tombs of eskimo deities, human animal hybrid spirit beings. The Thatcher guy went in the cave just being curious and opened one of the tombs. Releasing the spirit who then cursed the humans with the virus and hybrid kids. So the Tree feeling out of place makes sense..... because it wasn't apart of the original story
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😭😭
My theory about the hybrids is that as the gametes were being formed by the existing humans before conception, the pollen of the purple flower causes genetic mutation which transform human embryos into hybrids.
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.
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?
This video was amazing! 🌟 Thanks for breaking down the ending of Sweet Tooth Season 3. It really helped me understand a lot of things I missed. 🦌 Can you please explain why Gus burned the tree? I didn't quite understand it. 🔥🌳 Keep up the great work! 👍
I interpreted it as when they said that 'death was a part of life' he saw that as a way of embracing whatever was going to happen when the tree was destroyed. So he let nature decide and if it decided for them to be the last of the hybrids then that was just going to be part of life
I think she got it from when they were dropping the flowers out of the plane. I don’t remember exactly but, that’s what I would guess she got it from they just didn’t show it. When she went to get the cure made from Roy RIP, she could’ve got it there. There was a scene where she finds Wendy and there’s purple flowers everywhere.
The purple flowers they dropped were plastic, they weren’t real. So, she couldn’t have got it from there. I think it she was exposed to Rani, who had the Sick.
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.
I think a huge part that no one quite talks about it the horrible experiences Gus went through. From the ages of about 9-11/12, he went through so much that he had to just be collecting trauma and Mental Illnesses from that. ❤
The show ending is very problematic from stroy telling perspective: it doesn't explained why Thacker killed that deer over 100 years ago. Also, it didn't explain the connection to the blood of the tree to those purple flowers- so, the blood of the tree make the human ill and die and make those flowers grow on their corpses? So the creator of the story wanted to tell that humans not worthy to live? So if that's the massege, why Birdie had to die? And why big man died too? We see him drinking maple syrup with Gus, but the creator said in an interview that big man didn't make it. So not only sweet tooth found himself without both his parents and protector in the end, he has only the hybrids by his side and starting a new family. So this is the massege of the story, human being should die and have no redemption to save nature? And btw, i cheered when dr. Singh died after he murdered poor birdie. He won't go to heaven, even after saving Gus. Still, the creator of the story didn't explained why gus cut his hand and thought his blood will fix the tree if it was only needed to be burnt down. And those giant horns are no doubt one of the great giant elk 10,000 years ago, and that tree most likely was most likely some tree seeds the elk didn't chew up before he died in the last ice age.
I don't know if this is correct but I stabled upon the "Master of Animals" motif that is found in near eastern ancient civilizations. I don't think it inspired the book, but it really works within the context of the show. Anybody reading this Google the Master of Animals. Motif. It usually have a hero if some kind defeating animals. Sometimes the tree of life is associated too. At times the hero figure could be a God but also it could be a mortal, even one with animal features like horns and antlers. In the epic of gilgamesh His friend Enki battles animals and transitions from animalistic tendencies towards more civilized ones. From this book it seem that represents man taking from nature and the book now focuses on doing the opposite. Reverting man back to his more harmonious animalistic state.
What did you think of the final season of Sweet Tooth? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
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.
It was funny when Zhang was saying to Dr. Singh "what would Rani think?" I was like oh that's gonna make him turn on Zhang
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 was the Charlie's angels wig fah me 😂😂😂
The narrator of the whole series playing gus in the final moments was a full circle moment and really cool to see.
I can't believe I didn't realise it earlier 😭
@@AFIYINFOLUWAI’m with you there😭
I’m so glad that a tv show finally did it right
i thought it was him since episode 1. was fun to realize i was right :)
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
I choose to believe that big man survived, because I can't handle thinking Gus lost everyone he loved.
He marries wendy, I'm so happy about that.
@@Curly-tf4yp yeah I love that
I choose that he survived, since we see a young Gus with Jep. Then when Gus is a grandpa and telling the story he had passed naturally.
I think he does survive, it shows a scene with him at the end with Gus after Jepp asks if he survives and Gus says his stories kept Jepp alive.
@@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 crying the whole time during the ship moment when Guss was collecting their memories and throwing body in the ocean
That was sad to watch! Tough scene to play hey
I cried like a baby
what episode?
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.
I’m just gonna believe he survived to be honest. I can’t handle him being dead. I already sobbed thinking he did
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.
I can’t handle it. I wanted Jep to live but I think he does die in Alaska 😭
An adult story told in a child like way to reconnect us with that time in our life. I cried like a baby and am left wanting more.
Well said. A dark story told in a way that reminds me of my childhood. Full of adventure, hope, friendship and fantasy. Also cried lol..
I was crying the whole time

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.
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 comics are mad different
I wished they could’ve focused a bit more on the wolf boys and I wish we knew what happened to Rani
well its heavily implied she died because well uhm she only had like a month left to live
We know she died because they show the flowers next to her gargole thingy at the end
@@jhonhoppins522 what episode and time stamp?
@@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
Im a grown man whos not afraid to say, shit got me teary eyed. Definitely will rewatch Again.
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
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.
Interesting insight!
Awesome conclusion one of the best comic to screen adaptations
Yeah it was the perfect conclusion to the show!
In the comic book Jepp died in Alaska, and Singh the Dr went and lived in the community Guss built.
Interesting they decided to change it!
I'm glad they changed it...
I’m so glad they changed it!
Im so happy Singh died, to me he never redeemed himself
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 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🦌💛🦌
I'm sad we did not see Rusty and his parents when they got back to Alaska.
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??
Yeah it had an emotional ending for sure!
@@BrainPilot did Timmy Jepperd really die? 🥺🥺
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…
Nah Jeff survived, otherwise they would have showed us so we could cry but he definitely probably died later on because of being human
That's fair!
when he reappears hes wearing the same clothes he wore in the first episode which he no longer has so hes dead sadly
Hybird could live till 100 over years old, so i guess big man survived but died due to old age hence old gus was telling his stories
I just finished the final season and oh my god guys I can’t- I absolutely love sweet tooth 😭❤
Yeah it was a great final season!
Big man 😭who else is crying rn
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 ❤❤❤
Yeah this season was great as well!
Towards the ending i started crying
It was powerful!
The sad part is now I can't find a series like Sweet Tooth😭
Yeah there's nothing else like it really!
I'm surprised not a lot of main stresm UA-camrs talk about this series
It’s painfully slept on
I cried throughout. I think in part because I believe humanity doesn't deserve this world.
That's only because the wrong people have more say than the rest.
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
Who would think,when i started this series I would be so invested in a dear kid/ hybrid happiness.
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.
5:28 - Parents... the target audience is parents...
Dying Gus' mum,and Ginger giving birth to a Hybrid baby in the end was a massive twist
Yep I cried during the last 2 episodes. Such a great full circle moment showing old Gus was the narrator this whole time. One last time getting to watch Big man and Gus have a shot of Syrup in the end. Great show. Great ending!
I can’t breathe I have snot and I’m still crying
I just finished season 3 AN OMG I WAS CRYING MY eyes out the entire TIME
Yeah season 3 was so good!
I absolutely loved this series and have re watched it to make me feel good. So much on Social media is violence this story had everything.
If I ever find out if big man died, that will be the saddest day of my life
Bro I cried so hard I yelling PLEASE LET BIG MAN LIVE!!
i watched this show 23 uhr timezone in germany, i cried the night through-
It is just wonderful, so thoughtful and heartwarming… love Gus and hybrids… I wish I could be one of them ❤
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.
That's true! That would have been cool
I LITERALLY SHIPPED WENDY AND GUS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE ENTIRE SERIES THEY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER
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!
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!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
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.
That's fair! That's why I feel it was left to interpretation a bit!
He definitely died in Alaska though :/
I really enjoyed, spent my Saturday watching it, and it was good.😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I used to think your voice was AI generated. It's a literal perfect narrator voice.
I'm glad you've realised it's not! Thanks!
@@BrainPilotis there anymore seasons 😢4
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.
I was crying like a baby a few times the ending and man that episode with ship 😭😭😭😭 it was a amazing series!
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.
It didn't make sense. They didn't explain anything. Gus was created in a lab, but all of the others were born.
@@latonyanewsome0 There are tons of plot holes. There is 0 explanation about the tree and the sick and hybrids.
Many things don't make any sense.
Yall can we talk about how beautiful the tree burning was with the colors it was gorgeous
Absolutely amazing series, the ending was perfect for me personally, and this goes down as one of my favorite series of all time, I wish this series all the success 🙏🙏💯❤️❤️
The last episode was so emotional, I cried for the last 15 minutes, it was great.
Who was that old hybrid dude that captured birdie? I didn’t find that making sense knowing Gus was supposed to be the first hybrid
His name was munaq and he was the son of that inuit woman from the flashback
He was the first Hybrid. 100+ years ago. Remember Thacker’s men committed suicide to stop The Sick from spreading. So Munaq was the only hybrid until Gus was born.
@@1tevinmurry ooh got it
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.
Animals don't kill off the planet though
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.
@@elliescozyy303the fact that you wrote this and have concern proves that you are moral and not worthy of being exterminated.
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.
my only question is will the little green sprout from gus's antler turn into another tree or is that just a metaphor for how life grows in the darkest of places or whatever
I was crying the whole time watching this 😢❤😮
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 🤷♀️
Agreed!
Amazing and I am pleased I watched it from beginning to end.
That's awesome!
I really want this season for some reason after watching the finale and including that man dies off gave me a really depressing feeling, show was really great
Yeah this season was great!
This was a surprisingly good season with interesting characters.Poor Gus lost so many loved ones. Christian’s acting was top notch in the final episodes.
Can some one explained why the Sick didn't spread 100 yrs ago; and how did the first hybrid managed to scaped from the men who took him from his mother.
I really enjoyed this show. There were a few moments that didn’t quite add up throughout the series like with the Carabou guy but overall it was a fun watch. There are clues pointing both ways with whether big man made it off the mountain or not, but I believe he did. I feel like if he did end up dying they would have had a scene of Gus honoring him in some way. Maybe a grave or a carving in a tree or something.
i wanted both humans and hybrids to survive. i was angry that humans didn't
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
Same.
Honestly same
Same, it's so nihilistic
Did anyone catch the Wilhelm scream in episode 7?! 😂
Yeah I did!
The final 2 or 3 episodes felt like they took to long and way just drawing out time which I hates but ended was pretty nice
The tonal shifts can be a bit awkward but i think its intentional to show the sort of world the adults want the kids to experience, how the kids experience it and how the bleak reality the adults are experiencing. Every adult death had a certain weight to it. Those who were destructive to the children and the earth, the audience felt relief that they were finally gone. While the adults wo demonstrated, even if brief , of either caring for the hybrid kids or cherished the Earth their death is tragic, heartbreaking or get a sense they feel fulfilled or at peace with their actions. These as Gus says continue to live on with the hybrids meaning the humans who cared deeply for their family, others and the earth were remembered, which is what most older gens want is to be remembered for the good they did.
Great show enjoyed all 3 seasons wish it could've been more it gets 5 ❤❤❤❤❤thanks much
Something I was confused about (and maybe I just missed it ) was , the tree , what is it ? Did it get put there for a specific reason? Or
The tree was there since the beginning it just wasn't meant to be touched / messed with because it was exactly that. A temptation to humans. When Thacker discovered the tree he thought it was the fountain of youth and wanted more so that's why he tried to take the sap for himself and that's why the sick / corruption started and why Gus said that all that humans do is take things that do not belong to them
Sweet Tooth is originally a comic book. In the comic there is no tree in the cave. There are tombs of eskimo deities, human animal hybrid spirit beings. The Thatcher guy went in the cave just being curious and opened one of the tombs. Releasing the spirit who then cursed the humans with the virus and hybrid kids. So the Tree feeling out of place makes sense..... because it wasn't apart of the original story
@@LilacKoi ahhh ok that does make more sense thanks
@LilacKoi thank you so much for the explanation
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😭😭
My theory about the hybrids is that as the gametes were being formed by the existing humans before conception, the pollen of the purple flower causes genetic mutation which transform human embryos into hybrids.
I loved this, just finished it this morning 3am
Yeah it was a great show!
I really loved the character of Big Man Jepp- the reason I watched, Super great actor, very impressive
Yeah he was great!
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.
yeah, so unnecessary.. writer running out of ideas i think.
My younger sister's were hysterical the whole time because they kept making fun of Wendy because she was a pig.
It was so damm good especially seeing that Gus was narrating so freaking epic
Yeah it was a great way for the show to end
Season 3 was absolutely amazing i loved it ❤😢
Yeah it was the best season out of the three!
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?
Christian Convery should play Haymitch in a Sunrise on the Reaping.
not knowing the original story, i must say: the origin of the sick being...a weird tree...just disappointed me too much to appreciate the rest
AWESOME SHOW!! AWESOME THREE SEASONS... LOVED IT!! (and jepp lived!!).
Yeah this was a great season of the show!
I felt like in my opinion Jeff isn’t dead, but he isn’t alive either
Like the show gave us a choice almost to pick which ending
This video was amazing! 🌟 Thanks for breaking down the ending of Sweet Tooth Season 3. It really helped me understand a lot of things I missed. 🦌 Can you please explain why Gus burned the tree? I didn't quite understand it. 🔥🌳 Keep up the great work! 👍
I interpreted it as when they said that 'death was a part of life' he saw that as a way of embracing whatever was going to happen when the tree was destroyed. So he let nature decide and if it decided for them to be the last of the hybrids then that was just going to be part of life
Thank you.❤❤❤
Still don't understand how Aimee got the sick can anyone explain if you know?
I think she got it from when they were dropping the flowers out of the plane. I don’t remember exactly but, that’s what I would guess she got it from they just didn’t show it. When she went to get the cure made from Roy RIP, she could’ve got it there. There was a scene where she finds Wendy and there’s purple flowers everywhere.
The purple flowers they dropped were plastic, they weren’t real. So, she couldn’t have got it from there. I think it she was exposed to Rani, who had the Sick.
@@TheRaven384 but Singh was exposed to rani for 10 years and never got the sick i haven't watched season 1 and 2 so maybe I'm missing smth
@@reallifevibebecause Singh developed a temporary virus suppressant from killing hybrids. Since it’s temporary was never a sustainable cure
@@reallifevibe She injected it into herself
how did zhang found the cave?
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.
Thumbs up all the way!!!😀😀😀
I think a huge part that no one quite talks about it the horrible experiences Gus went through. From the ages of about 9-11/12, he went through so much that he had to just be collecting trauma and Mental Illnesses from that. ❤
Poor guy. Now he wears a straight jacket
The show ending is very problematic from stroy telling perspective: it doesn't explained why Thacker killed that deer over 100 years ago. Also, it didn't explain the connection to the blood of the tree to those purple flowers- so, the blood of the tree make the human ill and die and make those flowers grow on their corpses? So the creator of the story wanted to tell that humans not worthy to live? So if that's the massege, why Birdie had to die? And why big man died too? We see him drinking maple syrup with Gus, but the creator said in an interview that big man didn't make it. So not only sweet tooth found himself without both his parents and protector in the end, he has only the hybrids by his side and starting a new family. So this is the massege of the story, human being should die and have no redemption to save nature? And btw, i cheered when dr. Singh died after he murdered poor birdie. He won't go to heaven, even after saving Gus. Still, the creator of the story didn't explained why gus cut his hand and thought his blood will fix the tree if it was only needed to be burnt down. And those giant horns are no doubt one of the great giant elk 10,000 years ago, and that tree most likely was most likely some tree seeds the elk didn't chew up before he died in the last ice age.
I don't know if this is correct but I stabled upon the "Master of Animals" motif that is found in near eastern ancient civilizations.
I don't think it inspired the book, but it really works within the context of the show.
Anybody reading this Google the Master of Animals. Motif. It usually have a hero if some kind defeating animals. Sometimes the tree of life is associated too. At times the hero figure could be a God but also it could be a mortal, even one with animal features like horns and antlers.
In the epic of gilgamesh His friend Enki battles animals and transitions from animalistic tendencies towards more civilized ones.
From this book it seem that represents man taking from nature and the book now focuses on doing the opposite. Reverting man back to his more harmonious animalistic state.
