- Today I will be taking you through the story of the feral family from The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 6, and give my theory on their connection to the Wendigo legend
Story Recap - 0:28
Theory & Discussion - 5:38 - บันเทิง
I actually enjoyed this episode of season 11 and shows you what can happen when you’re out in the wild of the apocalypse and it was the first truly scary episode in my opinion
It is definitely one of my favourite from the season. Wish they would touch on their horror roots more often!
It's done by a George Romero student
you unironically think there isn't a single scary episode in 11 seasons of the show? stop over-exaggerating. its good, but it isn't "The first scary episode." lmfao
@@Gandalfthegoldenbird thats why I said "in my opinion" lmaoo that's what you think. I didn't say it was the only one🤣
But it's all good lol
I just assumed they were kids that were left to fend for themselves. They were isolated and trapped inside that house with literal flesh eating monsters surrounding the place. Maybe they saw how the walkers ate people and figured thats what they are supposed to do. Also that episode kind of reminded me of the horror movie Mother where two kids get kidnapped by their dad and left in a cabin alone for years and when someone finally finds them they act just like these people in TWD only they lives off cherries and not human meat lol
Mama is indeed a scary movie
Yeah, I had simular thoughts after watching this episode.
Wendigo psychosis that’s what they have
@@mycklaflonscamping1398everytime I think of that movie, I just see Snoop Dog and Mac Miller pulling out infinite guns on each other 😂
@Ni-dk7ni so much she wanted to kill them, if she wasn't selfish she would let them have a better life than dying
Tales of the Walking Dead should have had stories like this episode. Absolutely badass episode
It's definitely still possible
The feral family seemed fairly young. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were around mid to late 20s. Which means they were kids when it all started. I believe they were abandoned due to their parents or adult figures in their life dying and they managed to survive all these years in the house. But that kind of life has caused them to develop into these creatures.
In the World War Z Book there is a reference to children that became feral after been left alone for so much time, this might be something similar, they could have also evolve from the group named the wolves
Exactly what I thought of
How long did the story took place on the book? The movie is seems like a couple of days, probably weeks
@@ymi7924 if I'm not mistaken in the book the history happens like in a couple of years or less
@@ymi7924the movie and book are very different. The book is about a journalist collecting anecdotes from different periods of the zombie war. It spans pre events, the war, and the aftermath. I believe the movie main character (Gerry) narrates another anecdote at some portion in the story.
@ymi7924 the framing device for the book takes place 20 years after the outbreak, with the Zombie Wars lasting about a decade, with one official end date (Victory China Day) but several localized end dates after that. (Such as Victory London).
The feral children grew up alone in the 'grey zones', managing to survive but possessing only basic instincts due to trauma and isolation.
Stories like this and Maggie's story that she tells on the subway are where this world shine, so much of the personal inter-social drama is slow and it drags and by the end of the show it's bogged down by so many characters I couldn't even tell you their names if you asked me.
THIS these self contained little world building stories? Those are fucking fascinating. I wish we had more of this.
God me too. It’s what tales should’ve been
And when Maggy finds that kidnapped girl turned walker.
I don’t really understand what you mean. The interpersonal relationships cause you to forget character names but the action sequences don’t? That’s backwards
The feral family is kind of like a combination of the Wolves and Terminus. I wonder what caused them to become that demented and if they were once part of either of those groups.
So they were feral cannibals. Now they will become Walkers,err not that much of a life change
I think it's an upgrade if anything, they will be able to walk now.
@@jeffheald8228 seguramente por como andaban al ser humanos
No podían siquiera pararse y solo arrastrarse así que simplemente podrían ser casi como el "Hunter"
Serian carroñeros que se levnatarian en 2 patas solo para ver más en su alrededor,luego seguir a 4 patas
I don't think that they were too stupid to flee, now don't get me wrong, I'm happy that they were purged but it almost seemed like they started to come back for each other when each one was swarmed. Or I could be wrong, and they have Kuru and are just messed up in the membrane. Very chilling episode.
Honestly this got me thinking, the wendigo legend itself could have spawned from cases of kuru back in the day. Super interesting
Live by the pack, die for the pack
@@erwinthedodo9205yea I think they came back cuz the only way they all eat is if they hunt together , seemed like they were mostly trapping people once in a while and were starving for the most part so I guess they need numbers
Heh. Kuru 😂 probably had Kwashiorkor ( the Kwash) .
“Connies uneasy with the temporary shelter. Creaks and cracks fill the house” she can’t hear creaks or cracks 😂😅
No, she feels them.
Same way Beethoven felt his music. The vibration through the floor.
@@angryyoutuber8013 barely lol alight creaks and cracks are almost silent no way she “felt” them
@@taylorbatchelor5809 slight creaks and cracks are almost silent they aren’t loud enough to create vibrations you can feel
@@parkeydeeyou can definitely feel when the floor beneath you creaks and cracks
Did the family go crazy cuz they ate walker flesh? Like eating human flash can cause Kuru? In FTWD, the drug dealer was selling walker pineal or pituitary glands for an adrenaline rush, wonder if the people continued to consume that, turned out like this
Jeez that’s a really interesting theory. I really wish fear explored the gland high more, such a cool concept.
And I hadn’t even considered they could be eating walker flesh. Great theory. I remember Robert Kirkman saying the hunters wouldn’t have turned from eating bobs tainted meat, so you could be onto something.
What’s more likely is these were a group of young children who were forced to grow up in the wild due to the outbreak.
Fun fact: human growth hormone used to be extracted from pituitary glands in corpses not so long ago. It can lead to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease for the consumer. Like kuru it’s a prion disease. So they basically gave themselves a death sentence
you can get kuru from eating the brain only, eating regular human flesh is completely safe as along as it’s cooked.
@@moist_boist well just muscle tissue as it has less infection chance
This remainds me of the abandoned kids from world war z. It mentioned that by different reason kids end up alone to survive. They grow up to a wild state were they can be like animals. During the start of the zombie war (that span for 10 years) most cases were children and at worst early teens. Making it easy to deal with them and with anough effort to educate and make them into proper people. But after the zombie wars and rebuilding of goverments.(around 20 years after the fall of society) the kids are now adults and even having kids of their own. Making it difficult to explore towns and areas of citites that are claimed by this groups of feral people. I think it mentioned how they thought the zombies had mutated as the books zombies are like walkers, slow and no intelligence but this kids were to fast and smart. What made so difficult to deal with them was that even though they are feral they are still somewhat smart. They set traps and use tools and managed to give difficulties to squadrons of trained soldiers.
Thanks for typing this up that was a great read.
I’ve always heard the movie completely stripped the book and just used it’s name, but holy shit it’s criminal that hasn’t been adapted to screen yet.
maybe they were all humans..had younger children and/or pets in the house but got so hungry they had to eat them to survive and made them absolutely feral.
I stopped watching TWD so long ago I wouldn’t have even known this episode is that good. Thanks!
I want to thank you so much for acknowledging the actual Mi’kmaq windigo legend. The desire to consume at any cost is a great way to explore the walking dead universe.
This was one of my favorite episodes in TWD. It was creepy, terrifying, and had me going "what the f***?" the whole time. It showed how when someone isn't able to get the basic needs we all require, they go to drastic measures to ensure their survival and eventually become something less than human. It has got to be one of the best episodes despite the season it was in being pretty mediocre.
I agree. Season 11 was weak, but this episode stands out
I didn't get far in TWD after 3 seasons i watched it now and then and it was always the same. Group meets a baddie,has a long drawn out story, shots fired and gang wins, I never heard off anyone talking off an episode that was realistic ie illness, food storage something scary and a friend mentioned this episode and boy did I enjoy it,could watch this over and over again
There’s tons of episodes with illness , starvation , cannibalism , boy have you missed out if you stopped at season 3 😂 🤡
@@pandahsykes602 been told about that side group they meet that were cannibals, they weren't no Governor, whispers or Negans
@@connorwiseman3685 that was " Terminus They were definitely some cannibals lol
You know there's a zombie book series, Rot and Ruin, that does something similar to this with a werewolf in the final book in the series. It's not necessarily a realistic take, but it's a very interesting take seeing someone under that affliction who has adapted to a zombie apocalypse world.
Fun fact: there's a very brief Walking Dead reference with a side character named "Sheriff Carl" who wears Rick's classic hat and carries his gun, both of which were given to him by his dead father.
That’s actually pretty interesting haha. I wish twd would lean more into a realistic take on supernatural tales.
I always had this thought of some walkers legs growing together in water and forming a kind of mermaid tail. Stuff like that I think would be cool.
I liked this episode i actually remember putting down my phone and being like whoa what was that, i wish they did more with it. It felt like such a 1 off, random episode.
At first I was thinking they were a different type of Walker. They did a good job not showing the feral girl chest.
they live in the apocalypse, where danger i always present, and this idiot Virgil is just like "you're imagining things. get some sleep"
Yeah. People are stupid.
This was such a 🔥 episode! Felt like a horror movie. Really cool, different type of episode 👍🏽 good video
That episode with John's dad and June canonized ghost as well.
10/10 episode for me, it really captured the horror aspect of the apocalypse. Wished they did more like this. Great video 👍👍👍
This spooky behind the back guy on a computer aesthetic is fun
I absolutly would like to see if they would added the walker king in season 9 as the wishperers uses him i mean they find it randomly on a field and '' good damn lock at that we need him to our deads'' that would be cool ✌️🔥
Aw jeez. I’ve never even thought of that and now I’m upset they didn’t do it lol.
what is the walker king ?
im with you wtf is the walker king yo?@@pyronderman9055
ah ok thx
@@pyronderman9055 walker king is a mutated walker from the walking dead city is and a walker mutated whit many others walkers and they made a huge walker it has many walker heads and its tall and fat
Pretty sure the tales of the walking dead time loop wasn't a time loop obviously but the last few moments of someone's consciousness before the infection sets in, Just takes some analyzing to figure out.
@@Ni-dk7ni um no, Ive read all the comics i dont recall that ever happening
The part where you said the whisperers felt like cos players - yes! How they came across once they started being "humanised" was so far removed from the way they were introduced and their "disguise" was nothing more than a face mask. It made little sense to me. I struggled to buy into them as a society. And knowing that in essence their strength is in zombie herding, I couldn't understand why they chose to live the way they did rather than just being zombie ranchers or something. I also couldn't understand how they recruited and having children in their society seemed like a sure way to become zombie food. How the heck did they get so powerful as a faction?!
That was one of the creepiest episodes.
I couldn't stop thinking of Golum the whole episode.
I actually think it was closer to the Baba Yaga. A evil spirit that makes people commit cannibalism and I immediately thought this the first time I watched it because more oft sin than not the baba yaga will lead people to the cabin in the woods then a storm would come in leaving them stuck in the cabin giving the Baba Yaga time to kill and eat the victims. And something similar happened in this episode.
It’s funny how so many cryptids are similar in many ways. Makes you think, maybe different people in different cultures were seeing the same thing.
This was the creepiest episode of the walking dead
that is a good, theory, talking about cryptids i would love to see bigfoot vs walkers
I can’t believe you released another one today lmao, I watched all the other last night and wanted more 😂
Haha I’m trying to keep a consistent schedule!
it's basically Gollum
Basically yes 😂
Split into infinity and still no luck with the precious
The Wendigos/ferrals are mentally snapped humans. However, something more is happening.
The eyes are vastly different from human eyes. The eyes, what should be white are black and what should be an iris colour is white.
Cannibals are common in TWD. However, the Terminus cannibals weren't like this. So what caused such a change?
Well, maybe they ate an infected person (someone freshly bitten), and we have not yet seen the effects of eating infected flesh in TWD (as far as I can recall) so perhaps when the virus is digested it causes a different reaction, thus getting the Wendigo as a result.
That's the only explanation I can think of that includes the eyes.
They are years and years past terminus, those people had just started eating people, after a couple decades of human meat, interbreeding this is what the 2-3rd generation cannibal looks like, and living in the complete darkness...and who's to say they weren't eating walkers too? The writer said after the "hunters" ate Bob's infected leg meat that they wouldn't have turned from eating tainted meat...consuming human mean specially only human meat it drives a person insane its actually basically poisoning you, the terminus cannibals cooked their meat and eat other side dishes, these creatures eat straight meat and I don't think they're doing any cooking...so yeah who knows,
Lol they don’t even compare! Just one Wendigo from UD will kill them all!🤣
this was the 1 episode of the whole series i missed. when i found out Connie was back I was like oh, sweet, but didn't wanna watch the episode cuz i didn't really care about Virgil. BUT KNOWING I MISSED OUT ON THIS, DAMN
It’s seriously a diamond in the rough. Such a good episode
A great episode along with a great theory video. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
This episode scarred the shit out me. Especially the scene where Conny see an eye in the bathroom
Got me thinking someone’s in my house now 😭 loved the vid
Haha thank you so much!
Cyraxx is true evil. First, Blind Billy, now, Deaf Connie
Next Thining Tibbz
A fantastic video!! Loved this entry. Loved this episode and wanted to find out more. As you said at the end, Tales (especially that ghost story nonsense one) was terrible. They could have easily told a compelling story about how the Ferals came to be in Tales
What I really enjoyed about the final season was all the different types of episodes there were. Reapers, wendigoos, commonwealth there were so many interesting stories in different locations
In one sense it would be quite cliche to add in other supernatural creatures to this universe, but with zombies being a reality of this universe you can't rule anything out. Hell even Daryl thought that he saw a chupacabra once, or was it a bogfoot?
Waittt though, wasn't it determined Darryl may have been under the influence of some very fun but heavy duty substances at that time lol
@@ChrisLaporte-uj7is I didn't mean bogfoot btw but it would actually be a swamp Bigfoot though so I guess it was a happy accident. Says Merle anyway! 😂
@@ChrisLaporte-uj7is There is also the theory that certain substances actually allow you to see into other dimensions or whatnot, sometimes it's like wearing 3d glasses on a 4k screen, it just adds extra depth and clarity you could say, so it could have been extra clear, but who knows. Cryptids is probably higher on the probability scale than actual animated corpses, so I'm thinking at least aliens have a good chance of being real in this setting. It would be cool if they visited somewhere like area 51 for instance, who sent cell cultures to France without telling them where it came from. But since the CRM has been neutralized as a threat they almost have no choice but to expand the stakes to secret government programs and such things. I don't think we'll ever actually see aliens but possibly their technology and vague allusions to aliens.
Good videos bro and funny edits lol
That’s a really good explanation
I really like this theory. I’m going to run with it. Thank you! 😊 ❤
Shiverme timbers 😂😂 great video brother
holy shit this is such a well edited and put together video my guy ive not been interested in walking dead for ages but i was genuinely invested in this video because of your narration and editing definitely gonna sub and go check out your other videos
Hey thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words!
Idk nor have a watch this far of the Walking Dead but if she just has a lost of hearing she can still speak, even if she cant hear herself , unless she is mute too
She's been deaf her whole life. Non vocal. Losing your hearing after having it is one thing never having it is another. So no she can't make a sound, she signs and uses a pen a pad with those who don't sign, or a knife and wall like in this case to write with.
Also deaf in real life as well.
Those things scared the crap out of me.
I don’t understand why being feral would make them walk on all fours. I’m sure they did it more a more terrifying effect. To me it just isn’t realistic.
Love ur videos like this soo soo much.
One off my favourite episodes
They ain’t Wendigo‘s. They are just cannibals.
I wish there were more episodes like this one.
I totally agree i just think that when u said they died because they didn't know better to escape wasnt entirely true i think its that when they saw one of their own in danger the rest would swoop in to help save them because they still had some sense of human empathy to care for one another if they really are a family. They definitely lost their old way of life but still had a glimpse of love in ther heart to risk their lives for eachother but ultimately still pretty messed up that they let themselves get to the point of looking like cannobolistic cave men from just being out there for too long to just go crazy like that
Like most things zombie, totally unrealistic.
People like this would easily be bit by a walker and turned.
This is not how feral people move or act.
Just the producers and writers trying to shock viewers.
THAT was a pretty good episode. It wasn't the tired old nonsense they were shilling in 10, and the rest of the season...
I wish they could have done a few more shows in this style.
It just fit in perfectly...
The sound effects @4:22 😂
This episode made Connie my favorite character of all the late arrivals
Babe wake up swell films just dropped another banger 🗣️🔥
I absolutely loved this episode
this was a great episode
Good episode
I never got this far, i think the last episode i ever watched was the deaf girl getting stuck in the tunnel... I wonder what part of base instinct and survival made them forget movement on two legs is the optimal and most efficient way for humans to move
Wendigos are fascinating but extremely dangerous.
The people under the stairs vibes
"Please don't put that filter effect on the video"
"Its to avoid copyright"
"Oh okay, I still hate you"
Lol it is what it is I guess
Sounds like the issue we have irl of ‘Feral Children’. These are children whom went missing young and went feral due to being alone.
A tru fan of Twd. You appreciate the frank derabont seasons all the way to post Rick Grimes. Maggie also ran into somewhat feral family in one of her off screen adventures.
I understand it’s the apocalypse and people have gone through a lot, but I’d never start doing shit like this. It’s super weird
this episode had me straight up pissing my pants 😭
The fact that they had this family walking on their hands and knees is just dumb. Try walking down a staircase on your hands and knees. It's impossible. You'll end up sliding down it on your stomach. People who are living in a normal home as normal human beings don't suddenly decide to just start crawling like a baby or an animal because it's terribly uncomfortable to the point of being downright painful. I can understand them being filthy since there is no longer any running water. I can't understand people turning to cannibalism in this world though. This zombie epidemic very quickly took over the entire world, right? So there should have been an abundance of food in grocery stores, in warehouses all over the place, in restaurants, and in every home in the world! Even if people had looted the groceries stores to the point where most of them were empty, there would still be homes full of food. So the whole idea of people turning feral like this is ridiculous. It's like this show isn't even about the walking dead. It's about people struggling to survive in a world that's just slightly more insane than the one we actually live in.
@@Ni-dk7nitoddlers? They would still be children by this point 😂 those were grown adults
The episode is supposed to show how ppl can turn into animals in an apocalypse… that’s why the crawl.. like an animal…
@@Ni-dk7ni I’m guessing you pay zero attention to the time line 🤣 if they were toddlers when the apocalypse started those mf would be around the same age as Judith in that episode, but they weren’t they were full grown adults. They were already properly raised at that point. The whole point of that episode was to show how ppl could become animals after being isolated alone for a long time
@@Ni-dk7ni bro what? That would only make sense if they were babies when it all started… they weren’t
By far the scariest episode of the walking dead
Virgil hasn't been the same since Ted Dibiase dumped him!😂😂😂
You know im not against variant walkerd in theory but when they implemented them in the walking dead it was too late in the shows run the main series was almost over it was too little to late in my opinion trying to spice up the dhow like that
My thoughts exactly
Someone call Sam and Dean... oh wait wrong programme 😅🤣
why didnt they attack virgil and connie as soon as they entered?
This is what bugs me. They all end up feral while together. Yet princess is making quips and acting as if it's all sorted out and she can trust strangers after being out and alone for a year.
This episode made no sense at this stage of the walking dead. A feral family only a handful of years into a zombie apocalypse makes zero sense. How did they regress? How did they get their characteristics? How did they survive inside the house? I get the interest of the concept but it’s out of place in this world.
Maybe they were already a bit like this even before the infection?
It's about 12 years in at the time of the episode
Way more than a handful of years, bud.
I thought they were a depiction of, and I’m not trying to be rude by this description, but inbred families of Appalachia/back country mountains. The family types that are based on truth but hyped by story tellers. For example, I live in Pennsylvania and there is a family in my town that is inbred and a bit “wild”.. The sisters and the brothers in the 1940s and 1950s did their thing together, with their children then mingling with the uncles and aunts.. The 1970s generation straightened out a bit. Everyone in the area knows about them. I’ve spent time around the family from knowing the grandchildren in the family and attending school with them . They were really fond of my ex because he always had a big Chevy truck and we used to ride four wheelers with them on their land. They had a huge piece of land on top of a mountain, which they kept very private and they will shoot at you if you’re there uninvited. There were a couple family members who didn’t leave that property. They couldn’t read, write or talk really. They lived in trailers through out the property with no water, electricity, etc.. One of the uncles used to walk around with the news paper and he’d point at words he wanted you to say. When you said them, he’d speak in some gibberish that ended with “Aaaaaight?” Like alright but no L and the A drawn out like ahhhh… The only time he left ever the mountain was to go to church. They went to a church out in the country, idr which religion. This guy and the few others that didn’t leave knew every inch of that property. Every quarry, every thicket, every trail.. And they were quite wild, so to speak. There’s a couple family members that I saw when we visited them, but never met because they ran away from anyone that wasn’t family. They were all alcoholics and beat the crap out of each other when they drank. One even put an axe in another brothers head. Didn’t kill him.. Cracked his skull and blood was everywhere went to the hospital but didn’t hurt him mentally.. Doctors at the hospital thought it did by the way he acted until his pastor went to visit him and told hospital staff that’s just the way this guy was due to the inbreeding and retardation he had.
I thought of this episode as looking at these back country families and pulling them even further from civilization to a point where they become almost animalistic with their actions. Just basing it on this family that I know, yea, they could totally get to the point of the family in this episode.
Nightmare fuel
Wait I didn't know the wendigo is in the walking dead
I literally watched this episode and googled wtf is the deal with TWD episode 6, because there’s no way I’m the only one that thought it was weird af
i liked the analysis, can you turn off effect on the vid its kinda distracting
what episode is this bro this is creepy haha i stopped watching on rick's shooting the bridge and got rescued by jadis
wwait a minute hold up
something aignt right
YOUR TELLING ME IN ZOMBIE APOC SOMEONE WHO CANNOT HEAR SURVIVED PAST DAY ZERO
Yea trash writers.
the filter over the video added to the modd but also was a little annoying.
The filter is specifically for copyright. Unfortunately I have to put something over the footage. Atleast this way it reminds me of a 1930,s horror
Hold on she bad af
Those Feral are what we would call "wendigo's"
INDEED SHIVER ME TIMMBERS XD XD XD
No,skinwalker…….
This could be cannibals that was from the terminus group that devolved over time
I hate that episode. I had a hard time watching it. That was to scared for me. lol walkers are enough for me. I can’t have those feral ones. I’m a sidewalk sissy.
Yo what
Discussion isn't spelled disscusion.
Ghosts and time loops are "dumb"? um.. in a show with Zombies? Idk why some ppl think "Zombies are realistic" lmao
while it makes sense to throw all logic out the window when it's zombie media, there's just this level of disbelief that comes with the amount of fantasy inserted into a realistic setting like "earth." We already have to suspend our disbelief that zombies began to walk our real-life cities, but now we have to suspemd it twice or three times as much because they wanna add even more supernatural things? what were the odds of zombies happening? so what are the further odds of zombies, werewolves, wendigos, and ghosts all co-existing in our real-life cities when we've never confirmed a single one in our real-life cities? lol
wante to watch but this filter hurts my eyes ruined the vid
Unfortunately due to copyright, the filter is required
