When I heard about Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, I thought it was going to live up to its name and be a big failure. However, after watching the trailer, I think it is going to pass with flying colors.
Even though it is part of The Big Bang Theory’s universe, it is on a completely different timeline. One full of adventure and fun that only a comic book creator could create. And that is something co-creator Zak Penn knows because he wrote several Marvel movies, including The Avengers.
Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman) is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. Stuart is aided in this quest by his girlfriend Denise (Lauren Lapkus), geologist friend Bert (Brian Posehn), and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie). Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from “The Big Bang Theory.” As the title implies, things don’t go well.
SFTSTU starts streaming on HBO Max on July 23rd. Are you going to be watching?
