Okay, let's talk about Raised by Wolves. We all watched it, right? Androids raising kids on a weird planet. Good times!
But when exactly does it take place? That's the question that keeps me up at night. Let's dive in, shall we?
The Obvious (But Maybe Wrong) Answer
Most people would say "the future, duh!" Spaceships, advanced androids... it screams future-y. But bear with me here.
Everyone assumes we're talking centuries ahead. Like, the year 2342 or something equally sci-fi. But I have a theory that might just blow your circuits.
My Wild (and Possibly Incorrect) Theory
I think Raised by Wolves takes place way closer to our present day than we think. Maybe even... the late 21st century?
Gasp! I know, I know. Controversial. But hear me out!
The Evidence (Or Lack Thereof)
First off, the technology. Sure, it's advanced. But is it that far off? We're already making crazy strides in AI and robotics.
Spaceships? We're working on those too! Maybe not quite as sleek as the Ark, but progress is being made.
Second, the societal collapse. Do we really need centuries for that to happen? Honestly, it feels like we're halfway there already. Just saying.
The Clothes! Don't Forget the Clothes!
Let's be real. The characters' outfits? They don't scream "distant future fashion" to me. More like "slightly edgy, dystopian chic."
They could totally rock those outfits at a hipster coffee shop today. No joke.
Think about it. Is Mother's outfit that different from what Lady Gaga would wear on a Tuesday? I rest my case.
Why it Matters (Spoiler Alert: It Doesn't)
Okay, so maybe the exact year doesn't really matter to the plot. But it adds a layer of intrigue, right?
If it's closer to our time, it makes the whole situation feel more... urgent. More relatable. More terrifying!
Plus, imagine the possibilities! What if we are the ancestors of the Mithraic? Mind. Blown.
The Unpopular Opinion
So, here's my unpopular opinion: Raised by Wolves is set sometime between 2070 and 2100. There I said it!
And you know what? I'm sticking to it. Until someone can prove me wrong with a clearly labeled calendar from Kepler-22b.
I'm prepared for the backlash. Bring it on, sci-fi fans! Let's debate!
In Conclusion (Sort Of)
Ultimately, the timeline of Raised by Wolves is up for interpretation. That's part of what makes it so fascinating.
But next time you're rewatching the show, consider my theory. Maybe, just maybe, it's not as far-fetched as it seems.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go design some Kepler-22b-inspired fashion. You know, just in case.
Remember what Mother said, "We must protect our children!" So let's protect their understanding of time... or completely mess with it.
Happy watching!
