"Sweet Tooth" Comic Comparative Analysis + Easter Eggs (Multiple Images + Spoilers)

Concepcion 2022-01-09 08:02:22

First of all, if I like this work, I recommend reading the comics, and conditionally support the original version .

There is also a comic-related popular science article written by me in the discussion group, and you can check it out if you are interested.

I try not to involve plots and characters that did not appear in the drama version, but there are still a lot of spoilers, and I don't want to be carefully read by the spoilers.


The two most obvious differences:

The overall environment: the version of the drama is actually more reasonable. Human beings have died in large numbers due to diseases. Without various human activities, it should be restored to life. After all, this is not a wasteland of radiation. Compared with the comics, wherever you go, it is a cloudy wilderness. , Obviously this version is more realistic.

Plague: The symptoms of the plague in the comics are different. The symptoms in the comics are rashes, skin ulcers, hair loss, and hemoptysis. But it is also very useful.

The plague in the comics is terminally ill. The plague in the drama version can be alleviated by drugs, but there must be mixed people. This change is quite good. It is no longer like the blind research of simply arresting people and dissecting people in the comics. It can also be seen that mixed people are against humans. The importance of survival. In the play, a new setting is added that some morning glory will grow around the plague. I really like the idea of ​​a valley full of flowers!

And, as a whole, the plot in the comic is much darker than the drama version~


The phrase "This is a story" at the beginning of episode 1 is actually the sentence at the end of the comic. In Dr. Singh’s home, news about Jepperd is broadcast on TV. He is an ice hockey player in the comics and a football player in the play.

A large part of Singh's story in the play is original. There is also his wife in the original work, but I remember that there was only one feature. I think this part was added very well. He is a very key role in the original work. The audience will increase the content. You can better understand how Singh went from a good doctor to the demon who dissected mixed people in the basement step by step.

The image of the father in the play is a kind and honest ordinary person, and his education for Gus is much better than that of the comics. In the comics, his father is a magic stick, wrote the bible about Gus, and often talks about Gus.

Gus's image change is obviously more in line with the public. In the comics, he is a lean child, and the characteristics of deer are more obvious, and his personality is also a lot more lively and outgoing, but the slingshot is still just as good.

In the drama version, when Gus was 7 years old, the plane flew by and distributed a bunch of preserve leaflets. In fact, neither father nor son knew this place in the comics. In the comics, Japperd told Gus that there is a shelter that allows mixed people to live a free and safe life.

Gus saw the illusion in the water vapor while taking a bath. Here is his own origin, the illusion of the ancient god Tekkitesertok. This god is the god of the land, the god of hunting, and he commands all the deer in the world. What he saw in the fire was the "big man" who was destined to change the world with him in the future.

Gus’s father decided to bury his past because he was worried that Gus knew the truth. In the comics, he told Gus that his mother went to heaven and she was buried in the yard, but in fact some personal belongings of his past were buried in the grave. Can prove his identity.

There is also such a picture in the comics. It is his father’s former wife. In the comics, she did not have a single line. She passed away because of the plague. The picture in the play was changed to Birdie, a female scientist who was not familiar with him, and one was added. New line.

Then Gus met Hunter and Jeppered, similar to the comics, but in the comics Jepperd asked him if he wanted to go together. Gus didn't agree at first, but in the end he crossed the railing.

Here I want to talk about the changes to Jeppered. The skin color is no longer important. The actors are great. His background story has changed a lot. In the comics, he went with Gus because he planned to give Gus to Abbot to exchange his wife’s bones. It has a darker past than the drama version.

The second episode of the drama version originally created the role of Amy, which I think is very well shaped.

However, in the drama version, Lucy and Betsy, who were threatened by the scum couple to buy y for a living in the comics, are removed from the drama version. They have a very important proportion in the comics, and maybe they will appear in the second part.

Amy found Wendy who was abandoned. According to the comics, I guess Johnny put her here. In the comics, Wendy spent many years with her mother. She also has no sister. Her mother hid her. It was very good, but then there was an accident. Her mother was taken away by medical staff. Wendy went out and was arrested. When her mother came back, it was found that Wendy was no longer there, and she had contracted the plague soon.

In the third episode, Gus had a dream. In the dream, he came to a piece of ice and snow, which was obviously Alaska. His connection with the gods made him return to the place where everything started in the dream.

The community setting in the play is very interesting. The few remaining humans seem to live in harmony but are privately jealous. People can do anything to survive. This is also one of the few darker places in the play. The station and market settings in the play are also very appropriate. This setting of human reconstruction of society adds a lot of color to the background compared to the empty barrenness of the comics.

In the comics, Abbot is a local warlord. There is no power that controls the whole country like the drama version, and the drama version has a good shape. This movie does not introduce his past, so I will not say it. If you are interested, read the comics for yourself.

The animal army in the fourth episode of the comics is a group of completely madmen, and their heads are even more mad. He let his five mixed children eat up his wife. The changes in the play are so normal. A group of children is nothing. Meaning, everything except Bear is boring.

The character of Bear still has a lot to dig. I think she will go back to reunify the army to save Gus and other children in the next movie. It's somewhat similar to the plot in the comics, so the end of the second movie must be a big battle.

Just like in the comics, Wendy is a kid who loves to draw. In the comics, she drew her own comics~

Compared with the scrawny and weird image of Bobby in the comics, the drama version is a win.

Finally, I was kicked to death by a horse in this episode. I know that horses can kick people to death, but really, it’s a bit of blood.

Say it again in episode 5, the setting of the morning glory field in the drama version is really awkward.

In this episode, Gus dreamed of seeing his father in the comics while he was in a coma. He was still very nagging and creepy.

The preserve of the drama version is worthy of its name, at least before the last two episodes. Amy and Wendy built this shelter together, but the shelter in the comics is a complete scam. The so-called shelter is nothing but a military camp and Abbot is imprisoned. And anatomy of mixed races.

The fat man on the train in Episode 6 appeared late in the comics. He lives alone in the wild, has a bird-shaped hybrid as a pet, and has no problems with his head.

He used to play ice hockey with jepperd. The two reunited and clashed, but after recognizing each other, they went on the road to fight the villain.

In the drama version, Johnny feels a little bit chaotic, not sure if he is still Abbot’s brother like the comics. I hope that others have not changed it. In the comics, he counts Abbot’s final conscience. He is really a rare good person in this work. …

Finally, everyone got off the train and drove to Essex County. Let me mention it. It may be considered an Easter egg. Essex County has the same name as another comic by the original author. There is an introduction in China called "Once Upon a Time in Essex". The quality is very good. Recommend Friends who are interested can take a look.

Episode 7 This episode tells the true story of Gus’ father, Richard Fox, and the origin of viruses and hybrids.

Fox mentioned one point earlier. In the comics, he is also a cleaner in Fort Smith and has his own wife, but her wife passed away due to dystocia and the plague, and the female scientist is the original version of the drama.

After the plague broke out, he entered the semi-destroyed facility and found Gus and took him away. No military appeared.

The scientists in the comics discovered the remains and bones of ancient gods in Alaska by relying on a diary of a hundred years ago, so they did research and experiments in Alaska. In the play, ice pickers discovered special microorganisms and brought them back to Colorado for research.

Towards the end of the comic, it was revealed that Gus was an experimental product, although there was a hint before, because he does not have a belly button.

In the 8th episode of the comic, Jepperd’s wife found out that she was pregnant while fleeing with him. They were deceived by Abbot. Jepperd was locked up. Abbot caught mixed people and pregnant women to study the plague. The comic did not mention her. The cause of death, I guess his wife died due to dystocia (or Singh’s anatomy...), but after giving birth to a boy, Abbot lied to his mother and son to die. His son’s role was not involved in the drama at the moment. I won't talk about it, but this kid has a very important part in the comics.

Abbot told him that he wanted his wife’s corpse to bring a mixed person back for replacement. The drama version completely changed this part, leaving suspense. Although the comics are a bit dark, I prefer the story of Jepperd in the comics to the drama version.

There are many original plots in this episode, such as Amy countering this scene with fireworks.

In the dark, the fate of Jeppered and Singh are intertwined. As Singh said, in the future, they will do unexpected things for their loved ones.

I like both paragraphs very much.

Then Bear found a photo of a ship hanging on ice floes. In the comics, a group of British people headed by James came to Alaska in 1911. They encountered a very bad thing here (I was discussing in a group It’s said in the introduction post) that everyone was infected with the mysterious plague, and the ship failed to return to the UK. It seems that the drama version also adopted this setting. The ship may have been brought to the glacier by ocean currents.

Singh saw the unique Gus. Like the comics, he believed that Gus was the breakthrough point for all problems. However, he estimated that he would hide part of the truth from Abbot in the drama version. At least the current version of Singh is not as cruel and numb as in the comics. people.

Bear is Wendy's sister. This part is an original plot, and it also makes the connection between everyone in the play closer, which is a little bit like the second comic.

In the end, it was the first time that Gus met his own kind, and everyone hugged together. I was really moved and excited about this scene. The three mixed children of the protagonist group finally met. The deadline here is probably the sixth issue of the comics. The plot.

Finally, I came to Alaska again. I really felt that we should start from the source of everything. I am looking forward to how her line will develop. I am curious whether she will replace some of the Singh scenes in the comics.


I guess that the second plot is about shaking people to save the children. It is almost the content of the 12th to 18th comics. I hope the second season can be as soon as possible.

In general, for a series of all ages, the various additions and deletions of the version of the series are done just right, suitable for all ages, and seem to have changed a lot, but the main part of the comic is actually , I am very satisfied. It is the first comic change of the second brother-in-law, and it has been well received. The overall personal evaluation is about 8.5 points.
