I have deluded myself into 100% believing a theory I’ve crafted that the show The Last Man on Earth is actually a spin-off of The Good Place
Good Place spoilers below!!
I 100% believe that the world of The Last Man On Earth is nothing but a good place neighborhood made after the finale by Eleanor Shellstrop herself, based off recurring nightmares she had about having been the last person on earth.
Each character like the OG good place are picked purposely to torture each other and are a perfect mix of designated medium & bad people.
Some characters are also actors of course,
Here are the characters and what they are;
- Tandy Miller - Test subject; Designated to go to the bad place, Eleanor saw a lot of herself in him and is hoping this helps.
- Carol Pilbasian - Actress; perfectly picked to torture Tandy specifically, ended up genuinely falling in love with him despite herself. (Almost Michael like in eventual desire to become human.)
- Melissa Chartes - Actress.
- Todd Dimas Rodriguez - Test Subject; medium person designated to go to the Bad Place, has failed this simulation and is going to have to try again.
- Phil Miller - Actor.
- Erica Dundee - Test Subject; Designated to go to the Bad Place (criminal record), has the best chance of passing the simulation.
- Gail Klosterman - Test Subject; Designated to go to the Bad Place, has a higher chance of passing the test after befriending Erica.
- Mike Miller - Actor. (Was really Tandy’s brother and actively volunteered to help redeem him.)
- Lewis = Actor, Pamela = test subject, Gordon = Actor, Pat = test subject; failed, Karl = Actor who went rogue?? Or test subject that ended up in the wrong simulation by accident??
Genuinely, the only way to gain anything good from watching this show is to watch it through these lenses.
It not only makes sense, it becomes actively funnier to imagine this way.
