It cannot be said that any of the nine short cartoons that make up the third volume Love, death and robots, a Netflix anthology created by American Tim Miller (since 2019), ranks among the best of them. They are all within a certain distance of “Witness” (1×03) and “Pop Squad” (2×03), two striking proposals made by Alberto Mielgo (2019) and Jennifer Yuh (2021) respectively.
And that the great David Fincher is behind “Bad Traveling” (3×02), perhaps the most justified of this cinematic installment along with “Jibaro” (3×09), the aforementioned Mielgo’s second contribution that doesn’t give us the same disappointment as his partner. Juh backed us up with “Kill Team Kill” (3×05), the worst of the entire Netfix series. And one more curiosity of this new part is connected with Elon Musk.
we faced the same at the end of Three Robots: Exit Strategies (3×01), the only one to date signed by Patrick Osborne (2022) and continuing the story of three hilarious electronic characters that Josh Brener, Gary Anthony Williams and Cathy Lowes have already provided their vocal cords in their short film from the first volume (1×02), directed by Victor Maldonado and Alfredo Torres. And no one expected to hear the name of the oligarch here.
Waiting for Elon Musk in Love, Death and Robots
In this job Love, death and robotswe are told that “obscenely rich” people have decided they need a new planet, and the protagonists discover the launch footage space rocket in december 2025 to Marsin which his team escaped the apocalypse. And, after chained montage of the earth’s night sky to the red world, we are shown those who could survive there.
A Martian astronaut is about to drink a margarita and opens his wetsuit to do so. But this is not a human, but one of the cats whose feline genes were changed by mankind so that they were born with opposable thumbs, which also made them the second sentient animals. So, the aforementioned looks at the amazed onlookers and asks: “Who were you waiting for? Elon Musk?before pouting and tasting the cocktail.
Certainly, this link makes a lot of sense in Love, death and robots. Not only because the initiative to get away from the Earth and its catastrophe is so clear that we have already seen it, for example, in don’t look up (2021), a Netflix film, at the request of tech entrepreneur Peter Isherwell, for which actor Mark Rylance was inspired by Elon Musk. The latter is the most “obscenely rich”, and his company SpaceX is engaged in aerospace manufacturing and transportation.
