favorite moment from the show on the video in the comments below big warning though this video does
contain spoilers from utopia episode 1 i'll do top 10 moments and easter eggs from the show
as we go along just like in my videos from the boys starting with number 10 the origin of the
show if you have no idea where this came from utopia actually started out as a british show
this new one is totally different and doesn't have anything to do with that older show it adds
this dimension of the metaphorical and literal comic book easter eggs in a big part of the first
episode are conspiracy theorists fans decoding easter eggs in a comic book that's created within
the world of the show that seemingly helps them predict the future it's an ensemble cast with a
couple big names like john cusack and rayne wilson from the office you'll probably recognize at least
some of the other main cast members from some other recent shows and movies the story picks
up when two newlyweds inherit a house from the wife's grandfather after he's believed to have
died and when they go to move in they find out that he was a bit of a hoarder and seemingly a
conspiracy theorist so they spend a huge montage cleaning the house and during that find a bunch
of pages of artwork from a mysterious comic book project the comic book is called utopia and even
though they have no idea what it is at first they figure they can sell it make a little money from
the collector's market so they create an auction to take place at their in-universe version of a
comic-con and news about the unpublished comic book spreads like wildfire through their fandom
then they go through the big montage to introduce you to most of the main cast members who are all
part of this tighter knit group of ultra hardcore fans of that comic book series all trying to
find a way to get it in their hands number eight there's this ongoing mystery about the
creation of the comic book and the quote-unquote unknown artist behind the pages that all the main
characters are after the unpublished work that they found in the remains of their new house is
actually the sequel series to a long-running title called dystopia the sequel series is titled utopia
which the show takes its name from when the series picks up it's been a long time since they've heard
any news about what's going to happen to the comic book series that they all love so much they have
all these conspiracy theories about what happens to the characters within the universe of the comic
book like your favorite manga ends and the creator never tells you what happens to the characters
nicks so when it's revealed that there is a sequel to the story everyone goes crazy the actual
dystopia and utopia comic books in the world of the show follow the adventures of a girl named
jessica hyde who's the daughter of a scientist who are both held captive by the villain of the series
called mr rabbit who makes her father create all these different viruses and biological weapons
until one day they're rescued by another hero within the series called artemis then within the
comic series mr rabbit's henchmen chased them down capture her father and then jessica hyde's mission
becomes saving him again from mr rabbit but because the sequel hadn't appeared yet before they
all wonder what ends up happening to her and her father within the world of the tv show the comic
book series that everyone's this huge fan of is relatively new it debuted in 2014 so it's not like
the title had been running for a long time when the show picks up in present day it's supposed to
be 2020 when they find that utopia sequel comic book number seven the x-files level conspiracy
twist to the show though is that the main group of protagonists believe that the comic book itself
predicted all of the major epidemics that happened in the real world of the show that is
long before they happened like the heartland those are all very real very
terrible things but within the world of the show the characters believed that there were clues in
the comic books before those actually happened in the real world so they think that the comic
book is predicting the future but within the final issue of the dystopia comic book before the sequel
the creator teased that he would be doing the utopia sequel but suddenly all news about it went
silent until it was found by the granddaughter and her husband so they have no idea what's
going on they never read the comic book they're not part of the fandom so they just found some
pages that they think are worth some money to some fans so number six while they're all getting
hyped up for the utopia auction at this comic con event the show goes into another montage revealing
more of the main cast and the villains of the episode like these two weirdos who are seemingly
coming to the comic con to bid on the book along with the other group of maines and a ton of other
hardcore fans of the series 2020 in real life has been a pretty interesting year to say the least so
the series itself is a little prescient the mains talk about feeling like it's the end of the world
and the reason they desperately need to win the auction on this utopia comic book is so
that they can decode the hidden easter eggs that will tell them the future in all the bad things
that are going to happen because even though the comic book supposedly predicts the future
as i said everything that it foretells are global pandemics like biblical level plagues
number five the mains themselves all have varying degrees of messed up backstories
they don't completely reveal everyone's secrets in the first episode but they're meant to come off
varying levels of closeted and not so closeted conspiracy theorists who just happen to be fans
of the comic book series as well so they spend a lot of time at the actual comic con event
distinguishing their hardcore level of fandom from the more traditional casual comic book fans
of the series who don't know anything about the truth behind the utopia comic series or that it
might have some connection to real world events the big twist of the comic book is that they're
actually kind of right about the book predicting the future it's just not quite what they think
it is though number four the introduction of the two hit men the show isn't subtle at all about the
two creepiest mains who wind up being full-blown serial killers they do get a bit of a funny intro
during the episode but it turns into creepy town on a dime so it's not a huge surprise that they
wind up being the main antagonist of the episode not necessarily the main villains as they would
have to have been hired by someone if they are hitmen they do have something of a funny montage
of different comic book fans trying to snag the book during the auction but it's pretty clear
the husband and wife have no idea what they found or how her grandfather was connected to the real
world conspiracies that are seemingly revealed through the easter eggs in the book so the number
three the hitmen take the list from the auction and go around killing all the participants who
saw the different pages they never fully answer all the questions about who they're working for
or why it's so important or necessary for them to kill everyone who saw the new utopia comic book
but it's implied that they're also responsible for the disappearance of the grandfather who's
the supposed artist of the comic series and one of the creators they try to get a little comedic
with some of their kills but once they do track down the buyer of the actual utopia book they
barely miss the little kid who's already snatched it and he escapes having witnessed the whole thing
other than the reveal that he's not the porsche owning ladies man that he's been pretending to be
to the group in the episode we don't know a lot about his backstory preceding the episode only
that he's just another one of the active members of this group decoding easter eggs in the stories
but number two the young kid grant steals the utopia comic book they reveal the truth
about his mysterious character that they've been texting through their group the whole time they'd
never really seen him or heard his voice before so they just assumed that he was the wealthy
middle-aged ladies man james bond type that he'd been portraying himself as this whole time
to his credit he does go full james bond during the episode in order to steal the comic book from
the buyer but it completely goes off the rails spectacularly when he comes back to his hotel
room with the booth babe at the comic-con and then things go completely out of the frying pan into
the fire when the two hitmen show up and gunned down both the buyer and the girl he's barely able
to escape but they do see him so they know that he has the book and they know that he's a little kid
his name isn't on their hit list but the other main character's names are those members of the
utopia fan group also don't know who he really is or that he actually got the comic book that
they all think is gone to them forever but then number one jessica hyde actually shows up
in the final scene of the episode so this raises a whole bunch of questions about how she's connected
to the dystopia and utopia comic books that everyone has been after for the episode she's
super hardcore too she doesn't look like she's had a shower a change of clothes in a hot minute
doesn't bother to help any of the victims but the hitmen did say that that paralytic would
wear off eventually so at least a few of them might be able to walk out of that hotel room
once you've had a chance to check out the series let me know in the comments what you think of it
is just another twist on the comic book genre now we have things like the boys in this series
utopia which are direct parodies of that stuff so it's cool to see how this type of culture
will evolve in the next several years as comic book movies and tv shows just continue to mature
