John Cena Explains Humanity's Cannibalistic Diet
5 Dec
Summary
- John Cena narrates a segment explaining human-derived protein consumption.
- The collective survives on a diet including 8-12% human-derived protein.
- Future episodes will reveal the world's population starving within 10 years.
Episode 6 of the sci-fi mystery-box thriller features an unexpected appearance by John Cena, tasked with explaining the collective's unusual dietary choices. Creator Vince Gilligan described Cena's role as a "non sequitur" that ultimately made a difficult topic palatable for the audience. Cena narrates a segment detailing how the collective, facing a caloric deficit, supplements its food supply with human-derived protein (HDP).
The HDP is manufactured from individuals who die naturally or from accidents, with the collective cherishing their sacrifice. This measure is presented as necessary due to the inability to harm life and the scarcity of traditional food sources. The explanation is delivered in an infomercial-style video, aiming to justify humanity's shift towards consuming HDP as a means of survival.
Following this revelation, a dire prediction emerges: most of the world's population may starve within the next ten years. Survivors are forced to confront this grim future, with Carol facing ostracization and difficult decisions regarding a new procedure to alter survivors, ultimately leading her to refuse consent.
