Yeah like—if you're going to write trash then just write trash. If you need for all men to be gone to write your story, just say that somebody unleashed something Lovecraftian into the world and the souls of men were reaped

Causal reminder that this was the initial pitch for The Last of Us, that the fungus only turned women into zombies and Ellie was special because her womb was the future of the human race

Not only that, but the only reason one deserves to survive was her womb? That's sick.

I mean it's not the ONLY reason The point was that men are completely safe from becoming zombies but the plague means the human race will die out in one generation (a la Cuarón's Children of Men) unless they can find a cure So Ellie represents hope

Gotcha. The least survivable bottleneck we've got evidence of in the human genetic record is bigger than my parents' hometown. Really don't think something smaller than a reasonably big high school is going to do it, ESPECIALLY not in a social species with picky mate selection.

The bare minimum diversity needed for a Garden of Eden scenario (so a number like 50 or whatever) presumes a truly horrifying dystopian regime controlling reproduction, yes

Like what you have to do to establish a population of fruit flies, only over a much much more protracted period of time, meaning from a social perspective (the regime isn't run by an immortal army of robots) this is probably impossible
