Today I take you through the current state of New York City in The Walking Dead Universe, as well as plotlines throughout Dead City season 1. #thewalkingdead #deadcity #theoneswholive
I wish we got more cobalt coverage in general tbh. Very few events affect everyone in the country, glad they seem to be revisiting it in the ones who live
I work in occupational health and safety. The gas produced by rotting materials is H2S, the moment they would go into the sewers they would pass out and quickly die. Confined spaces are no joke
However if it hadn’t started there or an outbreak hadn’t started there and if they had enough time all they would have had to do is blow the bridges and tunnels and watch the waters for walkers and start becoming self sufficient with probably solar power and urban farming. They can easily isolate the island of Manhattan. But when it comes to the Wildfire virus it’s pretty much death of any kind is not going to be good for anyone.
New York is definitely a place to avoid in the zombie apocalypse. New York has been estimated to immediately be ravaged, due to it's natural huge population.
Seriously, the videos you create in this style are so good. Entertaining and informative. That Operation Cobalt is a real gem. New subscriber earned man, great work.
I keep wondering why none of the cities were not already nuked. The Philadelphia can’t have been the only nuclear sub in US waters. One of the crews would have followed their last orders.
The science nerd in me hates this so much because though inventive the gas would be lost at insane rates and pretty much worthless, sure fuel density use has gone way up but it takes some pretty special tools. Hydro power is simple in theory but its pretty worthless if you dont have a turbine and some way to control water flow, sure this guy is using walker decay to effectively make candles
@@timgersh6787Or just a general steam turbine that requires a heat source, with that you just need a fuel source and water of course. There isn't any reason the remaining clean energy sources won't continue to remain functional for up to years after the outbreak, but they'll all need maintenance eventually, someone to clean the solar panels and someone to lubricate the machine parts of the hydroelectric and wind generators. I would go live at a damn community, that's basically unlimited water and power, plus it needs people to maintain it. With that you can have food production all year round as you could have more than enough energy for hydroponic warehouses full of vegetables. They would be at an advantages position in defense as well, high ground on each side, with a nearly impenetrable fortress between them. They could grow more than enough food to use most of it as a catalyst for ethanol production as well. I would imagine that even though they aren't necessarily engineers that they would learn how to maintain their generators over time, plus they probably wouldn't need more than one at a time to meet their power needs. Each one is enough to power hundreds of homes and businesses if not a few thousand and most usually have a dozen or more. I'm quite sure in the decades it would take to use them all they would have figured out how to fix the others by then.
This spin off is kinda mid. I do enjoy Negan being "Him" again even for a short while. I'll give them credit of it piecing things together (Which I don't, I just realized this now) on why they need Negan. If you still don't know, the answer is Gas. With them having a hold of it and will inevitably face a full offensive of other communities. Like what Rick did, they will counter it and make a "Show" out of it to keep them in line. Guess who's the main actor of that show.
☆☆☆☆☆@Ty swell☆☆☆☆☆ I want to say thank you. Thank you for making such great walking dead story arc videos. Ive watched everyone of them over the last couple days and they are magnificent! As someone who has been watching faithfuly since episode#1 all those years ago, and has watched the series and spin-offs in their entirety at least 4 times throughout the years, I absolutely loved these vids! This has been an entertaining trip down memory lane for sure. To re-live some of my favorite story arcs in the way you've put them together has been an entertaining viewing experience! I know its hard work but please man, keep making these for all significant story arcs in TWD universe. Id love to see you weave some arcs together between shows and tell the larger overarching story between them while filling in time jumps. I do not usually leave comments complementing the channel creator of vids like this, but in this case I absolutely had to give you your flowers. 👏 👏 WELL DONE! Youve done something really great here! I've liked your vids and subscribed to your channel. I will recomend your channel and vids. I'll also share them in the appropriate places to try and drive some views and subs your way. Thanks again man!
Honestly, after Darabont left the series I never felt the same about it. The moment I definitely lost interest was the beginning of Maggie's "Vengeful widow" story arch. Just kill him or get over it already.
In addition to my previous comment, one of the things that made me die laughing is the survivor saying that there were almost no bullets and guns so they had to improvise their weapons. This totally feels like an outsider seeing oh New York and New York City is a blue liberal state. So since they have so many anti-gun laws, guns would be scarce of there. Everyone forgets that not only are the NYPD psychotic and would probably be one of the gangs running of the city kind of like the Atlantic PD, but on a larger operation at least for a while, but that thanks to 9/11. Basically New York City is its own mini military base with all the major multilater agencies there because you have the United Nations and other points of interest. Literally if there was a zombie apocalypse, Not only would the police and national Guard be huge and defending the island but the survivors would definitely either be under the protection of the corrupt police or would be raiding the police. Then they would be more guns, ammo, and weapons that they would not know to deal with. Fact, in addition to the methane zombies which I really like that could have been legitimately another reason for other colonies back on the mainland to raid New York City because it would be hilariously over the top filled with guns and ammo that are going unused.
So sadly, as someone who lives in the Northeast section of New Jersey and has been commuting back and forth nearly every other day to New York City since he was 6 years old, the in worse thing I found about the show was how little New York City was underutilized. It really feels like a bunch of people that lived in California and elsewhere idea of what quote" New York City is rather than what probably could have been. Maybe they hinted of it, but one of the big mistakes is everyone always as soon as that New York City is just Manhattan. In fact, it's multiple Islands strung together. I would have loved to seen different, essentially fiffoms films on the different islands. Especially since you have fairies and half the train system is above ground once you get out of most of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. In addition, again, even Manhattan was so underutilized. I wish it was as creative as Daryl Dixon with France. Like what if there's a survivor colony in Central Park who re-fortifies Belvedere's Castle which is an actual castle from the 17th century in the middle of the park? There's just so much stuff they could have done where New Yorkers would have been like holy shit. This is crazy to see but instead it was like yep subways and the Statue of Liberty and oh giant buildings and that's about it. They didn't leverage it like they leveraged like the forest environments of Atlanta or the various histories and cultures of France. I hope season 2 they do better
Dead city was trash. I would put it under tales but above fear lol. It was a big waste of time and don't even get me started on the anticlimactic ending.. oh nooo not hershels toe. Hersel should've been offed off would've made an impact. I miss the old walking dead when things where unpredictable and unforgiving.
I’d recommend checking out the ones who live if you haven’t yet, I feel that fits the “unpredictable and unforgiving” storytelling you’re looking for, at least in the first episode so far
Daryl Dixon season 1 needs a video as well, (in my book, it's the best of the new spin-offs) I never been a huge fan of Daryl, but after JESUS he's cool in this one!! All he's lines and s*, is like from my own mouth!!
Buildings still stand, but every corner of the city would’ve been hit by napalm. Lots of damage done, but it’s still liveable if you’re a strong survivor, and have a strong will.
Imagine if New Yorkers were allowed to own guns i mean the normal people not just police and the wealthy, sure would have been been easier to deal with threats and survival. That applies to real life as they're being assaulted by illegal invaders soon they'll wish they fought to keep their rights.
@@jjkilhij9531 well its not just about zombies but it can be tied to the show and IRL, it's just an observation on not allowing yourself to be disarmed by a government that hates you. They blew the bridges up and left everybody there to fend for themselves the night before taking away their ability to defend themselves. I'm just facing current New York BS laws and relating it into the world of The walking Dead cuz that's what you would have to base it off of is what we know and we know how shity New York is.
I agree with you but their are quite a few illegal guns in the city. So think of it 20 zombies coming and you have 10 shots, you also have a sick wife and a scared child. They have gotten in your building and the hall is your last line now odds are you will hit center mass its how we train but it wont help with zombies. You may down 1 by mistake with the full clip before your over ran
@@jjkilhij9531 hes not exactly wrong though ya not the place for that, im guessing it was youtube sent him here after the last 5 videos on illegals in NYC. No need to shame him to bad
@@timgersh6787 maybe that's that's the case for someone who never shoots, I don't think it would be a problem being in a hall is the last place you want to be in a gun fight but in this case it helps especially if they're all close to the same height.

Would love to see an original TWD story starting off in New York knowing how interesting Operation Cobalt’s aftermath was there
I wish we got more cobalt coverage in general tbh. Very few events affect everyone in the country, glad they seem to be revisiting it in the ones who live
yea it would be cool but id think the city would have to be cleaned up. Now I would like to see South Dakota which I figure did not see much change
@@timgersh6787I’m from verm why sd tho
nyc is a fairly busy city but their its not so its just a different world, also my guess is colbalt is directed by the Governor of the state
@@Swell-FilmsWe need a Okafor show

God NYC would be a nightmare in a zombie apocalypse

It’s a nightmare now
@@albernard8751 yeah but as soon as anyone dies for any reason they will turn regardless and boom zombies.
Also the Indian cities
I don't want to spend hours watching TV shows...this kind of video helps me enjoy the story in a matter of minutes
Yeah there are way too many now lol
“Fangirling. NeeGaaannn!!!” Lmao
The thing about Negan he doesn’t do with child killers
Negan is a child killer lol. Rapist too.
And yet he almost beat Carl to death...
Didn't kill him@@doggolovescheese1310
No he didnt. Watch the series @@doggolovescheese1310
@@doggolovescheese1310 But he did not kill him.
Your eyebrows are in business for themselves and I love it.

Loving these WD videos. Seriously underrated channel!
I love keeping up with the story but can't bear to watch some of these spin-offs so thanks :)
Dope visual choices brodie
Thanks for that, saved me a ton of time. Nice wrap
Loving your videos
Fabulous🙌💎, OMG the Walker King😱🧟♀️

Well said!
God Maggie is just the worst character
I wouldn’t say that, but she’s definitely one of the worst in my opinion.
She was a good character that was never developed past bitterness after Glenn was killed
I haven’t watched this because of her, she made watching the show a chore.
ty swell for president!

@@Swell-Films haha ofc I've seen it. It was good. I cried at the end, cant wait for episode 2!
So youre telling me theres another Walking Dead spinoff where the plot revolves around rival sociopathic gangs?
There's 3 spin offs, 4 if you count Tales
I love thia guy
Daryl Dixon season 1 needs a video as well, (in my book, it's the best of the new spin-offs) I never been a huge fan of Daryl, but after JESUS he's cool in this one!! All he's lines and s*, is like from my own mouth!!
yo the eyebrows go crazy
One of those things you don’t notice about yourself until you have to sit infront of a camera lol
Neat
Wait, dead city next year? I thought The Walking dead was over now.
Remind me of dying light
1:18 its just like dying light 2
The Dama is "The lady" but in Spanish
Did they level the entire island
Buildings still stand,
but every corner of the city would’ve been hit by napalm. Lots of damage done, but it’s still liveable if you’re a strong survivor, and have a strong will.
New York City is a rotten apple irl lol
New walker city
Walker City is a way better name
hes a croat...not a croAT
The show refers to him as the “croAT” exclusively, so I will aswell
What happened to the walking dead….
Thanks for saving me from watching the series…looked like trash. Very much appreciate your recap though, truly!
