Adam: The Teflon Man of American Horror Story: NYC
So, let's talk about Adam from American Horror Story: NYC. Dude is like a cockroach. You know, the kind that survives a nuclear blast, a hurricane, and a flaming dumpster fire? Yeah, that kind of cockroach. Except instead of a crunchy exoskeleton, he's got plot armor thicker than a Kardashian's security detail.
The Plot Armor Conundrum
How does one man, surrounded by death and despair, manage to dodge every bullet, every disease, and every supernatural entity thrown his way? It's like the universe is playing a cruel joke on us. We're sitting there, munching on our popcorn, yelling at the screen, "Somebody, please, just off this guy already!" But nope, Adam just keeps on keepin' on.
Is it his boyish charm? His unwavering optimism? Or is he just the ultimate survivor? I’m leaning towards the latter. It’s like the writers have a secret pact with him, a "You shall not die" clause in his contract.
Theories Abound
There are, of course, theories. Some say he's a secret angel, sent to Earth to document the horrors of the AIDS epidemic. Others believe he's actually a time traveler, here to study the past and prevent future pandemics. And then there's the more realistic theory: he's just really, really lucky. Or maybe, just maybe, he's the chosen one.
I mean, think about it. He's seen things that would make your hair curl. He's lost friends, lovers, and even a part of himself. Yet, he perseveres. He's like the Energizer Bunny of suffering.
So, What's the Deal?
Honestly, I don't know. But it's part of what makes American Horror Story: NYC so compelling. It's a story about loss, grief, and resilience. And Adam, in all his frustrating immortality, is a symbol of that resilience.
So, while I might be pulling my hair out at times, I can't deny that I'm hooked. And hey, maybe, just maybe, there's a twist coming that will finally send Adam to the great beyond. But until then, we'll just have to keep watching, hoping, and wondering.
