Finally, After so long we have got a web series that includes cool sci-fi stuff, upload human brains into servers, and accurate Indian character descriptions. It’s called ‘Pantheon’. Wait?
Ah, Such a good animation and production quality, and guess what? Nobody, I mean nobody knows about this fantastic series. OMG! Please don’t say like you haven’t heard about it too.
Oh, Gosh, Finally, Finally, we got someone who has seen this web series and it’s YOU. If it wasn’t YOU, then, you wouldn’t be here in the first place, would you?
Pantheon!
With only 8 episodes in the first season, Pantheon has already become one of my favorites. This Web series keeps a remarkable pace during all the episodes.
Also, they hooked me from the very first episode. With all the Drama around, Pantheon still keeps giving all its characters a proper arc. Although the idea of uploading a human mind into the computer might not sound very interesting to some, these good storytelling abilities and a good animation production team did a remarkable job in proving them wrong. However, Pathetic as it may seem, you will agree with my statements after watching the show.
Maddie’s Family Drama!
Founder of the technological company Logorhythms and brilliant visionary Stephen Holstrom spoke in 2001 about his goal to achieve digital immortality via the development known as “Uploaded Intelligence” or “UI,” which involves scanning the human brain and uploading it to the Cloud. Years after Holstrom’s passing, Logorythms carries on his endeavor, employing a variety of unethical and illegal tactics to accomplish their objectives.
Madison “Maddie” Kim, a harassed teenager who had been devastated by the loss of her adored father two years before, receives unexplained internet assistance from someone who was later identified as David Kim, her departed father.
David reveals that after a damaging and experimental brain scan, his mind was successfully transferred to Logorhythms’ cloud and Logorhythms lied to his family about the actual truth.
The Kim family is still in danger from Logorythms despite Maddie’s efforts to save her father, who finally succeeds in getting control of his U.I.
Caspian Weird Origin Story
At the very same time, Caspian Keyes, a talented young boy, is involved in his own Logorythms-related mystery. Caspian has lived a lie throughout birth, without realizing that he is growing up in an artificial environment under the continual watch of Logorythms in order to one day accomplish a particular goal. That he eventually finds out in the series.
Through a chat room, Caspian meets Maddie. They two work together to find the truth while also assisting Caspian in gradually realizing his reality.
As Maddie and Caspian find themselves in the heart of a worldwide conspiracy, a new sort of world war is on the verge of breaking out. (The war of Uploaded intelligence)
Engineer Vinod Chanda of the Alliance Telecom firm in India aspires to bring in a digital utopia using U.I. technology.
Chanda’s crooked employer kidnaps him after learning that Alliance Telecom has been conducting unannounced U.I. tests. Chanda is then scanned, which results in his death in the physical world and his U.I. being uploaded to carry out mundane chores within Alliance’s computers.
Chanda manages to break free from his virtual jail and turn into a rogue wildcard with the aid of prior U.I. victims.
