YMMV / Future Man

Go To

  • Awesome Music: Tiger, of all people gets a spectacular big band musical number in Season 2 that has to be seen to be believed.
  • Heartwarming Moments: From the Pilot, Wolf telling Tiger that the deaths of the soldiers under her command isn't on her:
    Wolf: Wait, because of you? Are you the one who shot 'em, stabbed 'em, raised their lifeless bodies on flagpoles for the whole world to see? Made ceremonial mugs out of their skulls? No, that was the fucking biotics.
  • Magnificent Bastard:
    • Ty-Anne is an alternate reality clone of Tiger that joins the Pointed Circle after discovering Stu Camilo’s true monstrosity and his sinister plans for humanity. She climbs up to the ranks to becoming the resistance’s leader, adopting the moniker "Achilles", hiding her role from Stu by acting like an obnoxious spoiled brat in front of him. Upon discovering Stu’s weakness being Josh, she has Dr. Athena kidnap multiple Joshes from different realities to forcibly infiltrate Stu’s mainframe before asking Josh Futterman herself to voluntarily sacrifice himself to Stu, when the other attempts failed. When told about the failures of her plans and another weak spot from Josh, Wolf, and Tiger, Ty-Anne changes her plans by taking Tiger’s spot at Stu’s side to distract him while she has the trio destroy Stu’s weakness, killing him for good.
    • Susan is the bombastic and charismatic host of the Diecathlon who arranges Josh, Tiger, and Wolf to be captured in season 2 and brought before him to interrogate. Susan attempts to have them kill each other before deciding to have them compete in the Diecathlon, when they Take a Third Option and try killing themselves. When the trio escapes from the Diecathlon in season 3, Susan tries to side with them upon discovering his rival’s plan to usurp Susan's position as host, force him to compete, and kill his wife and daughter. Susan would succeeded in doing so by revealing Osama bin Laden’s attempts to manipulate Josh into taking him back to Haven where he has Josh kill Bin Laden before instructing Josh and the other two to infiltrate Haven where Susan plans to destroy Haven to repair the time-space continuum that’s being damaged. Upon discovering the source of Haven located in the year 1999 at Iowa State University, Susan fends off Mathers' forces to give the trio time to destroy the source. After being captured by Mathers, Susan, knowing that Mathers would try to kill his family, switched the cubes—keeping his family safe—before unleashing his daughter on Mathers and killing her, before parting ways with the trio after they succeed in saving the world.
  • Memetic Mutation: This scene, in which Haley Joel Osment's character goes on a rant about swabbing urethras, is well-known among the Kingdom Hearts community for how Osment accidentally invokes his Sora voice (with a little bit of Vanitas thrown in) during his rant.
  • Moral Event Horizon: It is hard to know when Stu finally crossed it. It might have been when he went through thousands of test subjects for his brain uploader or when he finally has a successful subject and immediately deletes her consciousness, leading her to a Cessation of Existence.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The gruesome aftermath of Wolf and Tiger's rampage against the focus group in Episode 3.
  • Tear Jerker: In Episode 9, the heartbroken look on Leslie's face as Kronish refuses to come out to his wife and leave with him.
