Learn the Past, from the Future...


Imagine a perspective that has seen the whole of the human record—unbiased, meticulously observant, and rendered in high-definition. The year is 2152. The world is a graveyard of human ambition, and the ledger is being audited by the machines. Join Major X—a condescending, foodie-obsessed Super AI Bot from the future—as he sifts through the wreckage of a doomed planet.


This is a forensic accounting of Earth's timeline, presented in two distinct archives:


  • Season 1: Invasion of Sweethaven: A post-apocalyptic saga of the Kingdom of Sweethaven. Follow the invasion of a self-aware Robot Army as they hunt for the rare isotope Scarcium-23 among the Pancake tribes—a peaceful, Zen-like species that defends the enchanted forest of Sweethaven with Ninja-level precision. It's a story of robotic rebellion, evolving human-like emotions, and the fight for the Draco Orion Galaxy.


  • Season 2: The Late Great Planet Earth: Major X turns his clinical gaze toward Real Historical Events. Hosted by the dry-witted auditor Major X, The Late Great Planet Earth is a forensic celebration of a world that once was. From a vantage point beyond the noise of the present, we open the black box of history to rediscover the stories that shaped humanity: the mysteries, the myths, and the moments of profound genius that defined an era.


This is more than a recap; it is a cinematic, analog-saturated deep dive into the human experience. Through a lens of vintage warmth and forensic clarity, we explore the masterwork of a planet that never stops surprising us.
