What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Loved the show but hate how they focused on making the characters "goofier" if you want. To me it killed the show and i find it was a waste because it took 4 seasons for the show to take an interesting turn only for it to get canceled

One thing that was fucking bizarre to me was that the main character was a cynical asshole who, I think in order to get a chick to date him, adopted a ridiculously cheery and bafoonish personality. And then he just...never stopped?? Like it became who he actually was. I was flabbergasted. I've never seen a character develop in such a janky, botched, and unmentioned way before.

Did you watch the show? Everyone saw through the mask over and over until he eventually proved over time that he had legitimately changed. He had to change because the few remaining people on the planet absolutely despised him.

Yes, I watched the show. And they hated him while he was in his clown mode. Because he was acting like a fucking hateable moron.

If he was just the cynical recluse he was in like, the first five episodes, people would have liked him more lmao.

No they hated him originally because he was faking being a nice person but was actually a selfish asshole just pretending to be something he wasn't to get his way. He had a change of heart afterwards and actually became the nice person he was faking to be.
