What Happens to Big Man at the End of 'Sweet Tooth' Season 1?
There are a lot of fans who tend to love shows that have been adapted from comic books, and the latest one to grab their attention is Sweet Tooth . Based on the comics from Jeff Lemire , the fantasy series follows Gus (Christian Convery), a boy who was born a hybrid (half-animal, half-human) because of the deadly HFG9 virus that caused "The Great Crumble" ten years earlier. The two strike up a friendship, as they are both used to being on their own. When Gus sets out to search for his mom, Big Man joins him. However, Big Man soon finds himself in danger, and his fate is left up in the air during the Season 1 finale. Many full humans, who are known as the "Last Men," hunt down the hybrids because of the fear that they still might carry the virus. After living away from others in a forest for his entire life, Gus encounters a wandering human named Tommy Jepperd aka Big Man (Nonso Anozie). Does Big Man die in 'Sweet Tooth?' In the eighth and final episode of Season 1, which is entitled "Big Man," viewers finally find out more about the human's backstory. During "The Great Crumble," Big Man and his wife were expecting their first child together. Since the HFG9 pandemic was ongoing at the time, Big Man couldn't be in the delivery room when his wife went into labor. His son ended up being a hybrid. Because of this, both his wife and his newborn child were taken away, and Big Man never saw them again. That's why he's been so intent on watching over Gus in the present. He doesn't want to be separated from the boy after everything he's been through. However, Gus is upset, and he's run away because he just found out that his parents weren't actually biologically related to him. Big Man ends up locating Gus and telling him about his son. The two resolve their differences, and they concoct a plan to live in the forest together, away from those who want to hunt the hybrids down.
