3 important plot lines: protagonist, half-human guardian, vaccine doctor
The first season of The Antler Boy focused on a detailed description of the world view. After the world was baptized by the virus H5G9 “Great Crash”, humans suffered heavy casualties, and the way the world works was completely changed. Babies born after the Great Crash became half-humans and half-beasts. The main cause of the incident has not been disclosed. Some people say that half humans caused the epidemic, while others said that half humans were the result of the epidemic. The series divides the main story line into 3 parts: the antler boy Gus and the big man, the psychologist Amy and the pig girl, the doctor Adita and his wife.
Antler boy Gus’s plot line to find mother and birth background
In the first plot line, Gus, a boy with antlers, was taken to Yellowstone Park by his father and lived in seclusion for 9 years. Until his father met an outsider and died after being infected with H5G9, Gus lived alone for 1 year and could only rely on 1 photo to know his mother. Probably living in Colorado, he met a big man after deciding to find his mother. After the big man rescued Gus from the hunter, the two had a wonderful friendship. The big man was followed by Gus out of Yellowstone Park from the beginning. The protection of Gus is regarded as a mission later, and very delicate relationship changes can be seen in this plot line.
Gus, who has been isolated from the world since he was a child, has antlers in the story, but in addition to his preference for sweets, he is also nicknamed Sweet Tooth by the big man, which is no different from the average little boy. You can see it in this plot line. By the time the epidemic’s trust between people has disappeared, other surviving humans’ doubts about half-humans can almost be said to be that the virus came from half-humans, and the changes in the way the world caused by the end of the day also indirectly brought half-humans together. Humans are divided into hostile camps.
The birth background of the half-human guardian Amy Pig girl
The second plot line is that Amy, who was originally a psychologist, was trapped by a boring life. He happened to be in the office at the worst moment of the epidemic, so he decided to isolate himself indoors. After a long time, he found that the world had calmed down and left the office. When I saw elephants running on the street, I realized that the ideal place in my heart was the zoo. After releasing all the animals, I took in the first pig girl baby, and based on the zoo, a semi-human guarded area was established to accommodate people from all over the world. Half man.
Amy’s plot line is about big love. After she adopted a pig girl, she decided to set up a half-human guardian zone because of other distress broadcasts. Amy is like all half-human adoptive mothers, guarding the zone. The babies in are all children abandoned by their parents who are unacceptable after giving birth to the half. Amy spares no effort to take care of the half.
Doctor Adita conditionally develops a vaccine
The third storyline of Doctor Adita. He lives in a rare community that has not been infected. Because the local residents will burn the infected people, and Adita’s wife is infected with H5G9, so he must often go to the town’s medical center. The medicine slowed his wife’s symptoms. One time when he received the medicine, he was appointed by the local doctor Bell as the next resident doctor, only to find that the H5G9 vaccine could only be obtained by a half-human autopsy. In the struggle, Adita, who wanted to save his wife, could only be ignorant. Conscience continues to make potions.
Doctor Adita’s storyline talks about the selfish side of human nature. Because Adita’s wife is infected with the disease, he must immediately administer a mitigating agent after the symptoms appear. If symptoms appear, neighbors in the community will use Lianren. The infected person was wiped out by the fire in the house. Adita lived in the gap between his wife and the neighbors in the community. Before seeing the half-man with his own eyes, Adita used the vaccine obtained by dissecting the half-man to inject his wife’s conscience. .
The story behind the complete character of the world view is delicate
The first season of the Antler Boys album used a lot of space to describe the causes and consequences of the “Big Crash”, because the Colorado laboratory created the H5G9 virus, and the symptom of the infected person was that the little finger would shake unnaturally, and at this time, it was born. There were a lot of half-human babies. Gus, the antler boy, was the first one. Just when the audience thought Gus’s parents were biological parents, they accidentally discovered the mother’s bird’s attic. There were many laboratory documents about Gus. It was not until the end that the audience knew that Gus was a test-tube baby in the laboratory and the first half-human baby.
Each of the other characters also has delicate background settings, such as a big man who joined the “Last Human” organization in order to survive, but in fact, he also had a half-human child. And the little girl Xiong, the leader of the tribe who joined in the middle, also once had a half-human sister. When the “last human” fought against the doctor Adita, there was also a caring member who helped the doctor to release the horse and other delicate depictions.
Antlers boy experience summary: straight ball plot and dark fairy tale style
There are many types of doomsday albums. The reasons for the destruction of the doomsday may be nuclear bomb wars, food shortages, alien attacks, virus-infected zombies, etc., but the doomsday in the antler boy is caused by the H5G9 virus and did not run fast. There is no dramatic vaccine research and development process for the zombies, and the plot setting is closer to reality. The Antler Boy himself has no other superpowers besides Antlers, just like you and me, like ordinary people, audiences who feel that they are special and cannot integrate into the society may resonate.
On the whole, the structure of the Antler Boys album is very simple, the plot is also a straight line, the characters also have a complete explanation of the causes and consequences, when watching it, it is not very brain-burning, and the atmosphere is very relaxed, without bloody or scary pictures, but the disadvantage is the plot The pace is slow. If you watch while doing things, you won’t miss any important parts. The 8 episodes are just right, and a little more burden will be a bit heavier, but after watching the first season, I didn’t particularly like a character. The whole thing is Relatively plain, suitable for audiences who like doomsday themes and fairy tale style.
