Andrew Lincoln is hands down a PHENOMENAL actor. He was always the *perfect* Rick Grimes. Why he never won an Emmy award for his performance is beyond me.
@@firstlast9846this. it definitely felt like most of the time he’s trying to hard but i would say in the earlier seasons, he at least deserved one but there’s a lot of other great characters out there
honestly extremely accurate, i quit soon after glenn, one friend gave up when they seemed to drag out negan in the main plot and another friend of mine left with carl. The story keeps going and it works for some people but it gets so mundane, we each all decided to stop one day and that's about it
"If you want an happy ending, it all depends on where you stop telling your story" - Desmond Miles quoting Orson Wells in Assassins Creed III I stopped watching TWD after the very episode Rick gets taken away, didn't even finish the season. And I dont regret it until today...
@@funmilayotijani3119 honestly, after watching the season 6 if the main tv shows which includes some good episodes including my favourite with Morgan’s history, I thought that it still had potential but the seasons that came after proved me wrong, that it was impossible to redeem that tv show or even trying it. It got nowhere.
Gimpel is a great example that you can only write characters as clever, smart, funny etc as you are. “All my characters….talk slow… and .. only in phrases.. *stares into distance for 45 seconds. I also love…to waste time… on dream sequences that… don’t move the plot….because I… can’t tell a story “
Yeah and every time there’s a new character, once they have a second scene with a main character they give a long. Drawn. Out. Backstory. To explain why they do things they do and why they’re a character, to die the same episode. The writing is 💩
Wait, THAT'S what the CRM is all about?! That's the same shit everyone else does in the zombie apocalypse! You kill other people for their resources so that you can survive. Wow, what a fucking revolutionary concept!
@@farahahmedkarim377 It could have been about so many things. It could have been about a cure. It could have been a revelation about the true purpose of Wild Fire. It could have been about anything other than “We are actually doing the thing everyone else has been doing from the start! Mwahahaha!”.
@@jabronisauce6833 Correction: It was directly because of Scott Gimple that even after he got replaced as showrunner from Season 9 onward, the damage was already done no matter how much the show tried to course correct until the series finale.
@@bigguy8435 EXACTLY, like WHY, it just doesn’t make any sense, why would you kill off the character Rick has been fighting for the entire way through the series right before his biggest storyline.
@@bigguy8435not sabotage, greed. Candler Riggs was turning 18 so they'd have to pay him as an adult as well as more for being around since the beginning. Killing him off to replace with dog shit unknown kids is 100% cheaper. They picked monetary value over the fans and story, that's always been the problem with TWD
As someone who's been playing Hades II, I feel this, got to the last boss almost every run since my second one. And then I fail there... every single time
It kinda surprises me that the CRM was built up for years and in multiple spin offs one of which was MOSTLY ABOUT THE CRM and it all gets resolved in a 6 episode mini series
Not even. It got resolved in the final episode of that miniseries. Because, you know. A multiregional powerful entity like the CRM would just completely collapse after one small camp goes bust and some civvies reveal the truth. Not like they have a military that, and i cannot stress this enough, made the Commonwealth look like a small shanty village in comparison.
My favorite part was Rick finally coming to terms with Carl’s death. That was such an impactful scene and Andy’s performance during that segment was absolutely perfect. The part where they showed Rick walking with Carl and remembering the son that he lost paired with the music I think perfectly incapsulated that loss and trauma he experienced.
When the truly great writing choices had to come from Danai and Andrew having to go in and fight for them cause Scott Gimple doesn’t understand these characters, I knew what we were in for
@KamLouis They both collabed with the concept with Gimple and the storyline of the series. Danai only wrote one episode, but this was both of theirs show for beyond acting and even as producers...
@@taitonaitothe first episode was by far the best. Years was one of the best “pilots” i saw in a while, then then just again garbage writing & rushed story
@@eldritchteapot7753 I’ve read the comics, I was talking about the tv show characters. In a lot of ways they are very different people and I wanted a good ending for them. As a whole I do think the comics are way better than the show overall.
@Thatonegirl989 and Kirkman ended it once he ran out of ideas and realized he couldn't bring it to the 300 issues he originally planned. And it was a nice ending
I think series like TWD make me appreciate shows like Breaking Bad more, where they only had a single movie and a reallly really good spinoff show come from it instead of trying to flood the market with more shows and spinoffs trying to ride the main shows success. This just shows less is more
It’s why i appreciate Vince so much. The guy knows how to make a franchise without it being tiring. He could have made BB longer than five seasons. They were willing to let him do that and give him more money. But he actively said no and let it go out on its own terms. I wish more writers and shows would have this mindset. Sometimes a show’s long term integrity is more important than money or spin-offs.
Most people forgot that there were Walking Dead spin-offs. I miss the time when you were excited for new episode of Walking Dead. Those were good times and I will always cherish those memories.
Even talking about the show itself, they did Nat and Okafor dirty. 1 episode? dude, all that filler moments in 2-6 can be replaced with Nat, Okafor and even with Jadis' life in CRM stories and in detail without taking much of the spotlight from Rick and Michonne. But nooo, Nat and only gets to tell his story, and Jadis' death seems like it could have had more impact than.. whatever happened there
The Walking Dead can never improve. It has the Gilligan’s Island problem where they can never solve the problem without ending the franchise. Everything will always be a rinse and repeat of what came before with minor twists. Even the comic realized this so it just abruptly ended with Rick dying followed by a time jump where they have managed to deal with Zombies while looking at a statue of Rick in his honor.
Yeah, I said the same thing. The only thing that will get people interested now is having a cure and a the end. The "fan favorite" characters all have plot armor and the writers just love them to an unhealthy degree, or they are pandering to the remaining fans who like the pandering. These shows now just change locations, then give the exact same plot, every time. It is boring.
@@rafaelarcas942 It should be easy to understand. The show Gilligan's Island could never have them get off the Island or the show would end. As such every attempt to get off the Island was guaranteed to fail. They eventually did get off the Island in a made for TV movie but then ended up back on the Island at the end. How it applies to The Walking Dead is that if they ever solve the Zombie Apocalypse the show ends. If they ever make it to a safe place where there are no threats the show ends. As a result they will always be recycling the same struggles over and over again to keep the show going. They always run into a new group that is a threat and overcome that group. Or else they run into a new zombie threat they overcome. Rinse and repeat.
I think he would have to put on alot of weight and get his accent thicker but I see what you’re getting at. I don’t think i’ve ever seen an actor that would fit Arthur or John but That guy that played Mutt in Schitts Creek and Doc Holiday in Wynnona Earp would make a really cool dutch. I don’t think I could emotionally handle seeing Hosea and Arthur die in a live action movie lol. My son wants A live action of Rdr3 where we follow Jacks perspective from rdr1-2 into his future after John dies.
I love when dystopian stories act like people can be easily categorized into a handful of groups. As if an "A" person wouldn't be a "B" person under the right circumstances and vice versa. Or even that anyone, let alone everyone, fits neatly into either category at any point.
@@BloodAngel24 no, I meant dystopian. Firstly, the two terms aren't mutually exclusive. Secondly, I'm specifically referring to the dystopian society storyline in which Rick finds himself.
@@natatatm Oh I thought you referring to TWD generally. Yes, I agree they aren't mutually exclusive, but people *do* confuse the genres repeatedly - despite the fact that they can overlap.
the fact that what won against the crm (the most hyped, biggest military faction in the new world) was the power of love sounds like some kind of twisted joke.
It’s not a joke it’s the writers being dead serious and simply woke and let’s be real if both where white the power of life crap wouldn’t have been a thing.
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero He didn't do a terrible job with TWD in the first seasons esp if you look at it from a financial point of view. His seasons were still raking in money which is enough evidence for the suits up top to believe he must be a genius who can be trusted.
@@nbucwa6621 Scott wasn't showrunner until season 4. The first seasons of TWD are as great as they because it was still in the hands of the best writers/showrunner. Season 2 had as much problems as it did because the studio was trying to force them out and install their own cheaper people.
Damn. Rick detonating a grenade in his hand to kill walkers around him is some next level, sacrificial, Captain America kinda shit, what a spectacular way to go, rip. What do you mean he survived that? What do you mean he just walked that off? IS THIS PHASE 6 OF THE MCU?! 💀Like okay, I know it's called 'The Ones Who Live' but I didn't think they meant it like these people can no longer die...
Damn it could’ve been so good if in the end Rick meets his son and things are heartfelt but a little awkward cause like here’s this kid that he’s never met before and this kid doesn’t know Rick other than stories but then the last scene is Rick and Michone tucking their kids into bed and his son asks him to tell a story so Rick with tears in his eyes sits down with him and Judith and Michone and says “There once was a hero named Carl” and fade to black. Like that would’ve been so good to show that he has connected with his family fully and calls back to the comics how Carl was the ultimate hero there
Even then that ending is such a slap in the face to viewers. This shows ending should’ve been some version of old man carl adaptation. The moment the show killed him it was the final “shot in the head” for the show.
@@felipeespinoza3259there was gonna be a scene with all of the grimes family members having a picnic and talking and it looked really nice why they didn’t use that footage I will never understand
that’s so nice, i really like that. Anything would’ve been better than what we got but the goodnight with carl mentioned was more along the lines of what I was thinking and hoping for.
I find it incredibly ironic that The Walking Dead. The show infamous for its absurd amount of filler and slow burns. Finally, after 11 seasons and 3 other spin off shows, the shows big endgame ends up feeling rushed.
@@Pakotugudugudugudugudugudugu i'm sorry he can't cut through that thin as hell wire? but somehow it's easier to cleanly cut his hand off through not one but two bones? bones that are notoriously hard to cut and require a special bone saw if you don't manage to break it first to cut through the flesh after?
He doesn’t need to. Its commom sense that its a steel or metal wire. Why would they confine him to a wire and give him a weapon that would easily break through it. THAT woulda been stupid. Yall have no brain cells lmao
I really hated how the series built up the CRM to be some sort of elite military force only to have them be a complete paper tiger. But in general I don't think most writers know how to depict a professional military force so that is hardly a problem that is unique to TWD. Pretty often the depiction become a pretty cartoonish distortion of how the writers think a military force acts.
This reminds me of the motherland show. Briefly, witches are real since Salem and are the military of US and every witch gets conscripted at 18 with no right to refuse. It was a fun show after you get past the fact that their “military” is incompetent at a crazy scale.
Yeah that was a massive disappointment, they set them up as the Main twd Villian since season 6 and completely defeat them in a single episode in the finale. When the movie were announced I expected Rick to slowly build up a rebellion and overthrow the CRM or something but to just end it with "All the bad Guy CRM are dead so now we're good again" was really fucking lame.
For real, like isn't the CRM a military force and the combination of all branches in the US military. That means there are Marines, probably SEALS and AF pilots which gave the CRM countless military experience and strategic mindsets and they was beaten by a damn Cop and a black samurai.
When he says "this show makes no sense" frustratingly, and you figured out this advanced equation back in season 4 of TWD and saved YEARS of time... thx for the recap...
Wait a second! So Rick decides to blow up the CRM, only after he learns that they’re destroying and looting other communities, right? (I haven’t watched this show) That would make sense, as in, he tries to protect Alexandria from that fate. My biggest issues would be: 1) why Michonne would risk leaving her children, to look for Rick, where for 99% he would be dead? Either in aftermath of the bridge scene, or after so many years, everything could happen to him, how the hell would she find him? Just go through grief and take care of your kids, who are present. 2) In the end, CRM’s resources are redistributed. What about those 200 000 people that lived there? Do they agree to that, do they starve? How Rick managed to organise those helicopters? One could spend entire episode on that, and instead it’s cramped into finales aftermath.
the first episode was the best walking dead anything in the last eight years! the rest of the episodes seemed rushed. it seemed like they put all their hearts and souls (and all that time writing during covid) into the first episode and then, months before filming, they were like... "oh yeah, we need more episodes." this series deserved to be a 3 hour long movie.
They would have so many more interesting storylines to work with if they didn’t kill Carl. I wasn’t even a Carl fan. I didn’t like the kid. But I didn’t want him dead FFS! Carl’s safety was what Rick lived for. The show made that clear and then threw it in the trash. And for absolutely no reason. I see no justification for killing him. After he died, we had to just watch and pretend that Rick gives AF about being alive anymore. And I initially liked Michonne and Rick together but not after they killed Carl as he was a large part of their relationship dynamic. Now their relationship just looks awkward.
Doesn’t matter about Carl the writing is bad the show got bad because of bad writing that started with Carl they even did a 180 with his character when alive shit I remember people being glad he got killed off.
Carl died literally just bc his actor wanted to leave the show, he explained that he just wanted to go to college and move on in his life. And allegedly thats why rick's actor also left twd so he could get a break and see his family more. So, yea it doesnt make sense for the show bc it wouldve been better if they survived. But when a show goes on for THAT long you have to realize that the actors might want to end their time before the show is ready for it narratively
@cabbagejuice I heard that the actor who plays Carl moved closer to set and was looking into colleges in the area so he could be more involved? If I remember correctly him being fired was out of nowhere and he and his family were upset because of how sudden it was. The actor recently turned 18 and they didn't want to pay him as a full adult actor so they fired him
It's still light years ahead of tv a couple decades ago. Try and find consistently good tv shows from 2000 to 2009 besides futurama. There's way more quality out there, there's just also a lot more attention on what's being made in general.
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero so in your opinion, the only good tv show for the entirety of the 2000s was Futurama. Get outta town lmao, there was plenty of good tv.
@@owenleal Futurama was always a cringe bad show. Smellescope....as soon as I heard it I knew they were gonna say it and knew how cringe unfunny it was. A Uranus joke? Like a heard 50,000 times by 3 years old Uranus joke? That's good tv? Why'd the chicken cross the road?
26:27 Im sure hes kidding but for anyone who hasnt seen the show. Michone does this because Rick refuses to leave, he finds a way to allow michone to escape but not him too. Michone (furious with rick), takes the opportunity during the storm to jump out with him as an opportunity to escape. She wasnt angry at him because they didnt get enough chances to talk 😂
Every time I hear CRM I laugh because it stands for Customer Relationship Management and that’s what I specialize in with the jobs I’ve had at different museums and organizations. 🤣
My brain also short circuits when he says CRM because that's what I did for my last job lol. When the world falls apart only the CRMs will remain as the backbone of society 💪
A lot of ppl are trying to play it safe with basic, bland, generic "art" to have the largest appeal possible. So I think that's why we continue to get things like this, along with reboots, revivals, and remakes. Spinoff's, too. Risks are risky, after all. You might not get a return on investment.
maybe I'm weird... i stopped watching in season 9 and only spin off i watched was FTWD (2 seasons then quit) but i like the lore of TWD more than I like the show. still love the lore, but i think FSN said it best @1:53 "TWD has gotten very comfortable with being consistently mediocre" all these years and that is the ultimate way to describe it. even during the main shows run; it was times where you tell showrunners were just mailing it in. still a fan of the lore, but the showrunners never gave it their all IMO. it was just ok for them to be just ok.
@@jabronisauce6833 at least i can say outside of 2 season of FEAR i had zero interest and spent no time watching ANY of the numerous spin offs... i can live with that
I would recommend S3 of fear. It is an insight into what twd could have been with everything done right (morally grey and deep characters, fast pacing, unpredictable, natural dialogue etc.)
Carl being dead makes me see Rick as an actual dead man walking. The connection with Carl is so different. I don't see it happening with Judith Skywalker lol even that NPC RJ. We grew up and followed the father son dynamic of Rick and Carl, only for it to be sabotaged. If it was Carl who succeeded Rick and they had that reunion again like in the first season, that would've been more impactful. Imagine, an adult Carl running towards old Rick, almost synonymous to young Carl and Rick back then. Absolute cinema.
IT'S A STEEL CABLE YOU CANNOT BREAK IT WITH AN AXE!! lol I will continue shouting this from the mountaintops because it blows me how many people think an axe would cut through that
Thank you! I even knew the cable couldn’t be cut just hearing it unravel in the spool on the CRM Soldiers. That, and I think some people forgot this is Rick Grimes, he obviously would’ve tried cutting the rope/cable before going for the Hail Mary option.
@@zacharymenchaca2336 Right! He obviously would have tried it if it had even a 1% chance of working. Next people will be saying Negan's bat can blast through brick walls
@@scottsspotyou are wrong. I am profesional blacksmith and swordsmith and I know for sure he would be absolutely able to cut that cable. Because axes are also from steel and has bigger mass. We (blacksmiths) use chisels and hardcuts to cut even bigger pieces of steel and it's has similar shape and material as axes. If he had enough of time to heat up an axe, which is actually a big chunk of metal and would take forever to properly heat up, then he had enough of time to heat up that cable which would soften it and made it even easier. Sure, it would make a lot of noice, but cutting hand off would be much higher risk as no matter how big badass you are, you can got into a shock and then bleed to death as pre-heating exe like this wouldn't be enough to close up artery. This is just bad writing in a show that had no logic, not even when it was still good.
@@boredinczechia4382 so you’re certain the CRM don’t give him an old, likely dull axe? Or that it weighs anywhere near enough to create the necessary force? He obviously has no way to heat up the axe or the cable, so honestly I don’t see it being possible at all. He also can’t even pull it taught for attempting a cut anyways, it has tons of slack. Perhaps in a blacksmith setting, with a sharpened axe, a heated cable, the cable pulled extremely taught, and with a hard surface beneath it, it is possible. Not in a forest with what’s likely to be a 10+ year old axe and a dude with no blacksmithing knowledge. Seems perfectly realistic to me
Another thing I wonder, how did they get home? Neither of them knew that they all left behind Alexandria and the Hilltop to live at the Commonwealth, so realistically, they'd likely just show up to a completely empty Alexandria.
I mean when Michonne used the radio to contact and meet up with Judith, she could have told them to meet near the Commonwealth, which is still plausible. We don't need stuff like that spoon fed to us.
That bit about sunk cost fallacy of mediocre TV shows speaks to me. I think there’s a lot of power in streaming that we’re not utilizing. There’s 100 years worth of film and maybe 70 years worth of television in existence and a lot of it is sitting on streaming platforms as “content”. And instead of watching the greatest movies and TV shows in the history of media, we’re wasting our time watching mediocre fare just because it’s new. But there’s a world of better and more entertaining stuff in the back catalogues of every streaming service that we ignore. I’m starting to think that we’re so trained to keep consuming new stuff because that’s kind of how our economy and society functions that we’re wasting an opportunity to exploit these platforms’ need for content. There’s a bunch of gold nuggets buried amongst the old batteries and used tissues that previous generations have already told us, “Here is the best art my generation has created,” and we’re just ignoring them like, “No thanks. I’m pretty focused on this pile of used tissues right now. They’re on top of the pile at the moment.”
Just imagine what we could've had if Danai Guraira had been brought on as an executive producer back during season 7 ot 8 (as was her due) and she could've fought for so many characters we had grown to love?
You'd call her a c*nt if she did that. Sorry but Walking Dead has a mostly male audience, she would be careful not to overstep the way women who enter male franchises have (Kathleen Kennedy)
bro she isn’t a world renowned writer 😂 yes she wrote a very good episode but that doesn’t mean she has the ability a whole story arc with 2 seasons of content
@@8johh Mostly because whites ONLY declare what they like as greatness - like Star Wars or something lame like that. Shonda Rhymes is better writer than most of the critically acclaimed writers - think about it... Best selling novelists are J.K Rowling and Stephenie Meyer. Just because you're world renowned doesn't mean you're the best. The BEST writers in the world are actually Asian. White writers in Hollywood have promoted mediocrity but have the biggest platform
So the CRM big twist was that they're the Saviors, who were Woodbury Which is the only major type of villain the show ever had. Heck, wven Rick's group was that villain to others.
12:31 THe idea of exploring male (hero)vulnerability was honestly interesting and a topic rarely explored. A strong female allows for a place to be created for the hero to be vulnerable.
So like… Andrew Lincoln is an incredible actor who, I thought, at one point wanted to gtfo of TWD for the sake of not getting typecast or pigeonholed or turned away from roles. I wonder if he wishes he had. He’s incredible, I would LOVE to see him in more, I just can’t help but wonder if clinging to this particular paycheck was a bad call in the long run.
That man’s net worth is like 30 million and a large chunk of that is from the walking dead of course he can never act again and he’ll be fine for the most part plus unlike other famous protagonist roles Andrew has showed pretty much every single human emotion in his performance as Rick grimes and can portray a stoic hero and at times a brutal anti hero so in terms of just pure acting he showed he can play almost any single archetype
Another thing that bugs me about Scott Gimple is that he always seems to be HOVERING around the main actors at red carpets, some interviews, and other related events. It’s giving me helicopter parent vibes and it’s just off-putting.
You clearly must not watch many shows he’s doing that because he’s the show runner. Look at anytime they interviewed Vince Gilligan for breaking bad are better call Saul he’s the main guy the person making all the decisions so they typically have you on the red carpet because they’re gonna want to ask you questions about the show questions that actors would not know about. Trust me, I know how this industry works. I work professionally as a filmmaker. I’ve even worked on a few episodes of The Walking Dead years ago. I’ve been to the Emmys, the Grammys and the Oscars. It’s not just a walking dead thing.
Steel cable is very hard to cut through, especially against soft ground, and with the number of times rick had tried to escape, i think it was implied that he had probably tried by cutting the cable in the past and it just didn't work Granted a simple 5 second shot of him trying to cut the cable first would have helped, but i don't think its really a problem
@@Zenohhthe show still technically ended like not even 2 years ago so I highly doubt we’ll get ANOTHER adaptation of the same god dam story anytime soon but I can see it happening in like a decade or two
When Dylan was explaining the echalone stuff, the first thought that crossed my mind was "if he reveals that the CRM are just baddies who dominate for resurces, I'm gonna scream" 😅 You know what? I just exhaled with all of my soul. Guessing something like this without even watching the series doesn't mean that I am very smart, it means these shows are very, very dumb.
I love to watch your videos to get me through my workout. The excitement I got when I saw you posted on my way to the gym! And it’s an hour longgg!!!💕💕
Ok ok I hate Gimplespeak and his creative touch as much as the next guy but I'll give him one thing and its those dreams. They do actually matter, in episode 4 when Rick is breaking down and says he can't see Carl's face anymore and starts dreaming of Michonne and those dreams are what have been keeping him alive so they are important not only to the story but to Rick as well. So I get wanting to hate on Gimple because that man's character writing is atrocious but those dreams actually mean something to the story.
Honestly I just find it kind of dumb that they're still looking for Rick. The tension in that entirely comes from the fact the audience knows he's still alive. But the fact the characters just refuse to believe he died is just...really silly. Yeah yeah I get it they love him and everything but what possible reason would you think he's alive? There's no way anyone would know that someone picked him up in a fucking helicopter, maybe if they saw that I could buy them looking for whoever took him but all they saw was that he either got blown up or fell in a river and then either died or somehow didn't. And yeah I know that they also want to find him at all even if he's dead for some closure but still it's been 5 years in a world infested with zombies, there's no logical reason to conclude maybe he's still alive or that his shambling corpse I guess just went on a huge cross country trip. If freaking Daryl couldn't find him for years then they should have just considered him dead. It makes much more sense that he just died and got eaten like his first wife.
it entirely hinges on him being the main character and the writing treating the story like a franchise. The characters don’t act like people would irl, they act like they have meta knowledge that he is ~important ~
@@ginster458except he wasn’t the main character for years as these characters where being made to look for him it’s fucking dumb. He’s gone or he’s not and honestly you can’t make a zombie apocalypse movie or show and have protect main characters well unless they die frequently. The main character should be the fucking world the idea the concept. Show was ass ever since the zombies became irrelevant. When the zombies where a threat the show was at its best.
Your channel is the only way I can keep up to date with TWD. I just lost interested completely around season 7ish, and never really got the pull to check it out. I watched Fear The Walking Dead for like 1 season, and TWD S7, then stopped and never went back. It's a pity. I used to love this show back in the day, when you were describing this series, I was literally thinking "it sounds liek Fast & Furios", then you literally said it. Geez. I just can't believe they didn't take this chance to reunite all the characters from this unverse, have a final battle with this "Thanos level Enemy" (as you put it) and then we'd get some sort of satisfying ending to the TWD unvierse. Oh well, can't milk a dead cow I gues... At the end of the day, I'm glad I watched 8 episodes of Shogun this month (epic limited series BTW), and not this. (I was kind of considering it, when I saw the trailer)
I havent even seen the series and the short clips you posted here got me and a roller coaster of emotions its crazy. Im glad to see light at the end of the tunnel lol
We are living in a dystopia now and it probably gives people this feeling of happiness when they see them getting a happy end. In a post-apocalyptic tv show where everyone is horrible.
TWD has hit full stride in their “Supernatural” arc. Should have been put to pasture years ago yet still hobbling along. It just hit me! As and Bs= Alphas and Betas 😂
@@justoverit Yes like the pecking order of humanity for there are those who lead and those who follow. Plus the villains ideals are hypocritical most of the time anyway.
In fairness, it could also just refer to the old "type A personality and type B personality" theory coined by cardiologists. Type A's are (allegedly) more aggressive and more prone to heart disease, and Type B's are (allegedly) more laidback and less prone to heart disease. It's not necessarily a cringe reference to dumb manosphere ideas of being "alpha" or "beta."
Killing Carl already destroyed the entire point of the Walking Dead story, there's a reason the comics end on Carl and explore the implications of his survival as the thematic continuation of the human race. Carl surviving is the point, killing him is the same as humanity ending. You can abandon bad seasons and make something good from the ashes, but if the core of something is broken there's nothing that can be done.
I think the first four episodes are the best The Walking Dead has had to offer in a while. The last two are just normal Walking Dead episodes. I only cared about Rick and Michonne because they have the most compelling story out of all the characters in the TWD universe so I'm overall happy with this series but I wish it was like two more episodes.
Ive literally said the exact say things! I wholeheartedly agree! Very well said. If they'd made it 10 episodes like the original SO MUCH could've been said and done.
I wish Walking dead could get the budget and a solid director/producer, like Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, they know how to create a great storyline and make it interesting and solid visually.❤
I actually enjoyed the show while watching it because it's RICK GRIMES!!! Rick was, is, and will always BE The Walking Dead! He IS the show! Give me Rick Grimes in any show and i'll watch! But I do agree with a lot of your opinions here! Especially the Jadis hate! She's always been my least favorite! So boring! Can't hold my attention for 30 seconds! I absolutely love your idea of getting all the main characters back together one last time to defeat the CRM! That would have been a REAL EPIC ending to TWD once and for all! They are stretching the universe way too far! And it all sucks now! Also, one last comment... We need to praise Andrew and Danai's acting in this! You can criticize everything in this show, except their acting! They are MASTERS! And they really know their characters in and out! They are espectacular!
I am quite late to TWD franchise, so I binge-watched the original 11 seasons a few months ago. What really got me hooked was that everything just made sense, every action had a consequence, it felt 'real' - well, at least until Glenn's fake death. When Rick 'disappeared' in season 9 I did not know that the actor (Andrew Lincoln) actually left the show. So I was really expecting TWD to end with Rick and Michonne getting back together (happy ending). When they didn't my TWD world finally collapsed, only to be 'resurrected' when I saw the announcement of 'The Ones Who Live'. I even subscribed to the only network that would stream this show here in the UK - and again, after watching ALL 6 episodes, my TWD world collapsed! Episode 1 was brilliant, as you said. The face of Michonne when she finally found Rick was priceless (a huge tribute to Danai's acting skills). But that was it. I might as well have just watched the last part of the last episode just to see how it ended. And even that was atrocious for reasons you have so perfectly illustrated. NOTHING made sense, NOTHING felt 'real'. And at that point I realised I was the fool for watching it.
Fuck this show and the positive feedback from fans will reassure AMC that people will love mid. I hope this franchise would just try to return to its peak of seasons 1-5 and 6 and 9
I was a weekly watcher when the show first started. I loved the first season and especially the first episode, but I think the show peaked at episode 1, especially the art and film style. I still remember watching the series until season 5, specifically the scene where Daryl and Carol fall off a bridge in a van. At that moment I knew the series was just nonsense every week with no real risk to the main characters until the season or midseason finale. I even tried rewatching the series later to see if I could make it past that spot, and I gave up at the same season again. I loved your first Walking Dead video because I got to see how the series ended up going without having to sit down and watch it. And now I know not to waste any time with this show, even if I wasn't going to anyway lol.
The Walking Dead will never recover from the mistakes of season 8. The original show was about Rick finding his family in a broken world. Then his family died and he was gone too. It wasn't The Walking Dead anymore, it was just another post-apocalyptic show. More like a soap opera to be honest. A spin off with the same name. Carl never should've died. The show should've ended with him. I remember when he got bit and all the theories were coming out. "Rick is immune, that's why he survived his coma, the zombie virus brought him back to life but didn't turn him. Which means Carl is immune too". Surely they wouldn't kill off Carl right? Then they're getting rid of Rick too? Oh but don't worry guys, he's not actually dead, he will be in 3 movies, wait no actually a show, that will come out six years later. Enjoy your slop in the meantime. Finally the show comes out, and even though it was pretty bad and felt rushed, Rick's presence alone made it enjoyable. Until Carl is mentioned and all you can do is remember the colossal fumble of the original show.
Not even just that the show got pretty bad and started losing a lot of views around season five manly because they kept deviating way too much from the comic book storyline. It’s where it wasn’t even adaptation
This CRM premise was build up that many people were expecting an endgame-like finale. But then the actual finale of TOWL feels rushed and kinda disappointing. Still a solid show tho
Then the disappointment is on them cause noone told them that was happening LOL It was told to yall that it was a Rick and Michonne show. Love story style. Not TWD season 12. Not Avengers Endgame the Remix. Not Rick and friends. Rick and Michonne. It was about them Finding each other, exploring who they become and then them finding their way back home. They told yall this. Yall had a whole other spin off that was CRM focused for two seasons and didn’t even watch it. Why tf are yall expecting that over here on TOWL. Thats the only thing dumber than expecting random characters that dont even know where they are to pop out the bushes and help them fight the CRM. Lmao
They still 'destroyed' the CRM in this show in a very underwhelming and rushed way. I would have been happy if it were just Rick and Michonne escaping the CRM and destroying it in another spinoff or something like that
Part of me wishes the show and franchise ended with Season 8. Killing Carl was a terrible decision, but at least the Season 8 finale ended with Rick bringing all the communities together
As a non-english native speaker I'm happy with the multilingual questions, it's like a surprise hi kdkdkddxk The video was cool! Good work once again!!
@@JustTooDamnHonest let me be that guy and walk you through it: It was just a comment of him liking the show, and then you mr know it all toldl him that he is coping. YUP in my book that is being an obnoxious piece of trash and a-hole. but do you i guess
I don't know if I would call it wasted potential. I think it delivered on what I've been wanting to see ever since Andrew Lincoln left in season 9: Getting reunited with his family. I did not expect the show to resolve that in just 1 season with 6 episodes, compared to how Daryl Dixon will get a (completely unnecessary imo) season 3. I thought we would see a lot more of the CRM, but I think it would be problematic to make a potential season 2 interesting about that. I wouldn't mind if the show got like 2-3 episodes more and the wrapped it up. The problem with the main show for years, was that everything was dragged to eternity. It was completely unnecessary with 16 episodes pr season, and freaking 24 episodes in seasons 10 and 11. I was just happy to see Andrew Lincoln return again. It wrapped up quickly, yes, but I wouldn't call it wasted potential. The show was mostly character driven, and it was primarily about Rick and Michonne, so I understand it from a writing point of view. The only thing I missed was seeing the "season 5 machete Rick" that Gimple teased from the day that Andrew and Danai went on stage at Comic Con to announce the show 20 months ago. That Rick never appeared. But overall, I'm satisfied. They should just leave it at season 1, imo. Although I hope Rick and Michonne somehow returns again.
Dude I'm BEGGING you on my knees to make a review of AMC Interview with the Vampire. This show is just phenomenal! Absolutely stunning on all levels. And I feel that your analysis would be a total blast, so...pretty please? Season 2 is airing in less than two weeks btw.
Agreed, sadly haven't read the source material yet but I loooove the 90s movie, I was scared I wouldn't enjoy the show but I like how they're doing their own thing, it's different but so good.
@@suzygirl1843 I'd rather have it woke than whatever the hell they wanted. TLOU is "woke" and it was pretty damn good. I got an explanation as to how the apocalypse started, the military wasn't complete fuckall, and the virus was something that actually could bring down the end for the humankind. Also, about the "woke", people are really mad that they saw a lesbian in a zombie apocalypse yet they don't even know what their sexualities would be if they were thrown into an apocalypse. In addition, they're punching air over stuff they seemed to accept pretty damn well? Victor Strand was gay. And yet I'm yet to hear a single blockhead whine about FTWD Season 2.
I feel like Jadis is such a focus because she is a show original character, a Gimple original. Unlike say Carl... Honestly one of the reasons I stopped watching the show is how much it changed from the graphic novels in a way that didn't really add anything. Adaptations are always going to be different and I don't mind taking liberties in order to make something better or fit to a new format. For example the Spiderverse films are almost nothing like the comics they adapted and one piece wasn't one to one in a lot of places and those are both fantastic. That being said if you are going to diverge from the critically acclaimed graphic novel series (and even diverge from the initial tone and feel of the first few seasons) you should do so for a reason that feels earned which the show doesn't.
I have never seen an episode of The Walking Dead. The most I've seen is the last video and this one. The section about Carl made me screw-my-face-up Cry. Very good video.
There's something poetic about the Walking Dead sticking around as a zombie after it should have been long dead
i think the only way that theyre gonna stop beating this dead horse is when it's truly fully decayed and theres nothing left to stomp on
Oh snap!
very original comment 👏
Bad poetry does exist.
I read it as "pathetic" lmao
Andrew Lincoln is hands down a PHENOMENAL actor. He was always the *perfect* Rick Grimes. Why he never won an Emmy award for his performance is beyond me.
he deserved so much more recognition than he got imo
He was good but eventually he was trying way too hard to portray the grizzled badass. Season 5 tho - he deserved an Emmy for.
Its probably because of that one scene
I hated him in the begining coming from the comics.
Got used to it tho.
@@firstlast9846this. it definitely felt like most of the time he’s trying to hard but i would say in the earlier seasons, he at least deserved one but there’s a lot of other great characters out there
“You never get an ending; you just get to decide when to quit”
Oof. That’s it exactly
I stopped watching the original series after season 5 or so. It got really infuriating 😂
honestly extremely accurate, i quit soon after glenn, one friend gave up when they seemed to drag out negan in the main plot and another friend of mine left with carl. The story keeps going and it works for some people but it gets so mundane, we each all decided to stop one day and that's about it
"If you want an happy ending, it all depends on where you stop telling your story" - Desmond Miles quoting Orson Wells in Assassins Creed III
I stopped watching TWD after the very episode Rick gets taken away, didn't even finish the season. And I dont regret it until today...
@@funmilayotijani3119 honestly, after watching the season 6 if the main tv shows which includes some good episodes including my favourite with Morgan’s history, I thought that it still had potential but the seasons that came after proved me wrong, that it was impossible to redeem that tv show or even trying it. It got nowhere.
Damn😂
Gimpel is a great example that you can only write characters as clever, smart, funny etc as you are. “All my characters….talk slow… and .. only in phrases.. *stares into distance for 45 seconds. I also love…to waste time… on dream sequences that… don’t move the plot….because I… can’t tell a story “
Its feels like the dialogue was so different in the first 3 episodes then the last 2
You can write smart characters, you just have to really think through that long, and have it the character tell fast and do reserch?
@@ajarmetta RIGHTTTT I THOUGHT SO TOO it felt like a disconnect
Yeah and every time there’s a new character, once they have a second scene with a main character they give a long. Drawn. Out. Backstory. To explain why they do things they do and why they’re a character, to die the same episode.
The writing is 💩
That's just sad.
Wait, THAT'S what the CRM is all about?! That's the same shit everyone else does in the zombie apocalypse! You kill other people for their resources so that you can survive. Wow, what a fucking revolutionary concept!
The echelon briefing shoulda been about zombie variants ;-;
@@farahahmedkarim377 It could have been about so many things. It could have been about a cure. It could have been a revelation about the true purpose of Wild Fire. It could have been about anything other than “We are actually doing the thing everyone else has been doing from the start! Mwahahaha!”.
@@guillermopena8412 exactly ;-;
Its more complicated than that. They actually expect the zombies to all die in 14 years so the plan is based upon ruling the world that comes after
i do the same shit in state of decay brother 💀💀💀💀💀💀
The biggest mistake TWD franchise ever made was not giving Scott Gimple the full boot after the main series tanked because of him.
Show was dying for years wasn’t just him.
@@jabronisauce6833 Correction: It was directly because of Scott Gimple that even after he got replaced as showrunner from Season 9 onward, the damage was already done no matter how much the show tried to course correct until the series finale.
Cause he's a corporate Yes Man, he'll do whatever the coked up Suits say.
The biggest mistake was screwing over Frank Darabont.
They should've kept the director from season 1
Scott Gimple really said "let me kill the future of the show before I go" aka CARL GRIMES
There's no way to convince me that wasn't sabotage by his part
@@bigguy8435 EXACTLY, like WHY, it just doesn’t make any sense, why would you kill off the character Rick has been fighting for the entire way through the series right before his biggest storyline.
I just knew him as the creator of Fillmore🤷🏿♂️
@@bigguy8435not sabotage, greed. Candler Riggs was turning 18 so they'd have to pay him as an adult as well as more for being around since the beginning. Killing him off to replace with dog shit unknown kids is 100% cheaper. They picked monetary value over the fans and story, that's always been the problem with TWD
@@Jack-tp8rb 💯
Rick basically spent 5 years playing Hades and never finished a run, that alone would drive me beyond insanity
As someone who's been playing Hades II, I feel this, got to the last boss almost every run since my second one. And then I fail there... every single time
@@Peter_Anthony any time I actually make it that far I end up blowing it on the gold wraith fight
and guess who's also stuck on the last boss in Hades 2 this guy
It kinda surprises me that the CRM was built up for years and in multiple spin offs one of which was MOSTLY ABOUT THE CRM and it all gets resolved in a 6 episode mini series
Completely agreed. So much potential, and so wasted…
And they’re still focused on the crm in every other show
I call it the "White Walker" problem.
Not even. It got resolved in the final episode of that miniseries.
Because, you know. A multiregional powerful entity like the CRM would just completely collapse after one small camp goes bust and some civvies reveal the truth.
Not like they have a military that, and i cannot stress this enough, made the Commonwealth look like a small shanty village in comparison.
My favorite part was Rick finally coming to terms with Carl’s death. That was such an impactful scene and Andy’s performance during that segment was absolutely perfect. The part where they showed Rick walking with Carl and remembering the son that he lost paired with the music I think perfectly incapsulated that loss and trauma he experienced.
When the truly great writing choices had to come from Danai and Andrew having to go in and fight for them cause Scott Gimple doesn’t understand these characters, I knew what we were in for
@KamLouis They both collabed with the concept with Gimple and the storyline of the series. Danai only wrote one episode, but this was both of theirs show for beyond acting and even as producers...
@@KamLouisthey produced the show with gimple , dingus. A simple google search “did andrew and danai help with production of towl”
@@KamLouis and that 1 episode was factually better than the other five.
@@taitonaitothe first episode was by far the best. Years was one of the best “pilots” i saw in a while, then then just again garbage writing & rushed story
So that's why ep.1 felt like it had some soul in it, then it was mostly back to slop content.
I find it so annoying that we probably won’t get a satisfying ending to all of these loved characters.
You did. The comic is better
@@eldritchteapot7753 I’ve read the comics, I was talking about the tv show characters. In a lot of ways they are very different people and I wanted a good ending for them. As a whole I do think the comics are way better than the show overall.
@Thatonegirl989 and Kirkman ended it once he ran out of ideas and realized he couldn't bring it to the 300 issues he originally planned. And it was a nice ending
@eldritchteapot7753 - it’s marginally better and even then Robert Kirkman isn’t a great writer
How was Rick reuniting with his Familiy not satisfying? you people...
I think series like TWD make me appreciate shows like Breaking Bad more, where they only had a single movie and a reallly really good spinoff show come from it instead of trying to flood the market with more shows and spinoffs trying to ride the main shows success. This just shows less is more
You're goddamn right
It’s why i appreciate Vince so much. The guy knows how to make a franchise without it being tiring. He could have made BB longer than five seasons. They were willing to let him do that and give him more money. But he actively said no and let it go out on its own terms.
I wish more writers and shows would have this mindset. Sometimes a show’s long term integrity is more important than money or spin-offs.
Two spinoff shows*
U forgot Slippin Jimmy
@@adac1331 as we should
My favorite line of this series was, “You don’t get it, Michonne. I AM the walking dead.”
"It's been real, until it wasn't."
Gimple: "Ooooh, write that down! Write that down!"
Wow, never tought that after being on a island for so long John Locke would found himself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse...
At least he still has the use of his legs as a walker.
That's the Man in Black.
He left the island and the world ended. Coincidence? I think not!
Oh shit… that is the guy from lost!!!! I didn’t even realize it. Just knew he felt familiar ha ha
Mike's Mic is doing a Lost recap so my worlds are colliding😆
@@WarrenValionthis comment was too good
Most people forgot that there were Walking Dead spin-offs. I miss the time when you were excited for new episode of Walking Dead. Those were good times and I will always cherish those memories.
Tuning in every week to Season 5 were good times
Even talking about the show itself, they did Nat and Okafor dirty. 1 episode? dude, all that filler moments in 2-6 can be replaced with Nat, Okafor and even with Jadis' life in CRM stories and in detail without taking much of the spotlight from Rick and Michonne. But nooo, Nat and only gets to tell his story, and Jadis' death seems like it could have had more impact than.. whatever happened there
I gave up when, after years of making excuses for or rationalizing away repeated problematic patterns that kept repeating
I liked fear but the new generation was so pandering and awful
@@lyndsycarson8302same. I thought first 3 seasons of Fear were good but after that it all went downhill

If CRM weren't idiots, they would've gotten his family so Rick would want to stay.
They were going to do that, but wanted to make sure they broke Rick first
@@ShadowSonic2how do you know?
@@Myaccount923Beale said so to Rick but like who knows if he was telling the truth
How is there not enough resources when you have ample land, 3000 people and a standing army?!
The resource thing was just a BS excuse. The CRM just wanted to dominate everything.
And it was better to create 100k zombies and eliminate a majority of the US population than feed those people? Beale must be restarted.
The Walking Dead can never improve. It has the Gilligan’s Island problem where they can never solve the problem without ending the franchise. Everything will always be a rinse and repeat of what came before with minor twists. Even the comic realized this so it just abruptly ended with Rick dying followed by a time jump where they have managed to deal with Zombies while looking at a statue of Rick in his honor.
The Walking Dead Island.
Yeah, I said the same thing. The only thing that will get people interested now is having a cure and a the end. The "fan favorite" characters all have plot armor and the writers just love them to an unhealthy degree, or they are pandering to the remaining fans who like the pandering. These shows now just change locations, then give the exact same plot, every time. It is boring.
Exactly why they needed Carl grimes
What do you EXACTLY by the Gilligan’s Island ? I am afraid that I don’t understand.
@@rafaelarcas942 It should be easy to understand. The show Gilligan's Island could never have them get off the Island or the show would end. As such every attempt to get off the Island was guaranteed to fail. They eventually did get off the Island in a made for TV movie but then ended up back on the Island at the end.
How it applies to The Walking Dead is that if they ever solve the Zombie Apocalypse the show ends. If they ever make it to a safe place where there are no threats the show ends. As a result they will always be recycling the same struggles over and over again to keep the show going. They always run into a new group that is a threat and overcome that group. Or else they run into a new zombie threat they overcome. Rinse and repeat.

That would go 🔥 ngl. I wonder who would be the cast of John Marston then?
Lincoln should be John, he’s too small to be Arthur
I think he would have to put on alot of weight and get his accent thicker but I see what you’re getting at. I don’t think i’ve ever seen an actor that would fit Arthur or John but That guy that played Mutt in Schitts Creek and Doc Holiday in Wynnona Earp would make a really cool dutch.

@@nbucwa6621 Scott wasn't showrunner until season 4. The first seasons of TWD are as great as they because it was still in the hands of the best writers/showrunner. Season 2 had as much problems as it did because the studio was trying to force them out and install their own cheaper people.
Damn. Rick detonating a grenade in his hand to kill walkers around him is some next level, sacrificial, Captain America kinda shit, what a spectacular way to go, rip.
What do you mean he survived that? What do you mean he just walked that off? IS THIS PHASE 6 OF THE MCU?! 💀Like okay, I know it's called 'The Ones Who Live' but I didn't think they meant it like these people can no longer die...
I mean, there were 20 zombies on top of him all loaded with body armor. M67s have only 180 grams of Comp B, but yeah
and somehow he doesn't get bitten
@@OXY187 I mean we saw in episode 1 that the CRM uniforms are bite-proof and have electric wires sewn in, same with the Frontliner uniforms too
Damn it could’ve been so good if in the end Rick meets his son and things are heartfelt but a little awkward cause like here’s this kid that he’s never met before and this kid doesn’t know Rick other than stories but then the last scene is Rick and Michone tucking their kids into bed and his son asks him to tell a story so Rick with tears in his eyes sits down with him and Judith and Michone and says “There once was a hero named Carl” and fade to black. Like that would’ve been so good to show that he has connected with his family fully and calls back to the comics how Carl was the ultimate hero there
Even then that ending is such a slap in the face to viewers. This shows ending should’ve been some version of old man carl adaptation. The moment the show killed him it was the final “shot in the head” for the show.

For rick cutting his hand, should of been a scene where he tried to cut the wire and it did not work. Then he cuts his hand
And even then it doesn't make sense. He could brake his fingers or cut off just his thumb to slip out of the handcuffs.
Easy fix
Its implied that he tried that so thats why he knew he had to cut off the hand
@@Pakotugudugudugudugudugudugu i'm sorry he can't cut through that thin as hell wire? but somehow it's easier to cleanly cut his hand off through not one but two bones? bones that are notoriously hard to cut and require a special bone saw if you don't manage to break it first to cut through the flesh after?
He doesn’t need to. Its commom sense that its a steel or metal wire. Why would they confine him to a wire and give him a weapon that would easily break through it. THAT woulda been stupid. Yall have no brain cells lmao
I really hated how the series built up the CRM to be some sort of elite military force only to have them be a complete paper tiger. But in general I don't think most writers know how to depict a professional military force so that is hardly a problem that is unique to TWD. Pretty often the depiction become a pretty cartoonish distortion of how the writers think a military force acts.
This reminds me of the motherland show. Briefly, witches are real since Salem and are the military of US and every witch gets conscripted at 18 with no right to refuse. It was a fun show after you get past the fact that their “military” is incompetent at a crazy scale.
Woke writers are cringey idiots? Who’d have guessed.
“The power of love” lmfao
Yeah that was a massive disappointment, they set them up as the Main twd Villian since season 6 and completely defeat them in a single episode in the finale. When the movie were announced I expected Rick to slowly build up a rebellion and overthrow the CRM or something but to just end it with "All the bad Guy CRM are dead so now we're good again" was really fucking lame.
For real, like isn't the CRM a military force and the combination of all branches in the US military. That means there are Marines, probably SEALS and AF pilots which gave the CRM countless military experience and strategic mindsets and they was beaten by a damn Cop and a black samurai.
They only had a 6 episode miniseries and wanted it to be more about Rick and Michonne's reunion, They didn't have the time for that
When he says "this show makes no sense" frustratingly, and you figured out this advanced equation back in season 4 of TWD and saved YEARS of time... thx for the recap...
"Gimp speak" 😂😂😂
Wait a second! So Rick decides to blow up the CRM, only after he learns that they’re destroying and looting other communities, right? (I haven’t watched this show) That would make sense, as in, he tries to protect Alexandria from that fate.
My biggest issues would be:
1) why Michonne would risk leaving her children, to look for Rick, where for 99% he would be dead? Either in aftermath of the bridge scene, or after so many years, everything could happen to him, how the hell would she find him? Just go through grief and take care of your kids, who are present.
2) In the end, CRM’s resources are redistributed. What about those 200 000 people that lived there? Do they agree to that, do they starve? How Rick managed to organise those helicopters? One could spend entire episode on that, and instead it’s cramped into finales aftermath.
the first episode was the best walking dead anything in the last eight years! the rest of the episodes seemed rushed. it seemed like they put all their hearts and souls (and all that time writing during covid) into the first episode and then, months before filming, they were like... "oh yeah, we need more episodes." this series deserved to be a 3 hour long movie.
They would have so many more interesting storylines to work with if they didn’t kill Carl. I wasn’t even a Carl fan. I didn’t like the kid. But I didn’t want him dead FFS! Carl’s safety was what Rick lived for. The show made that clear and then threw it in the trash. And for absolutely no reason. I see no justification for killing him. After he died, we had to just watch and pretend that Rick gives AF about being alive anymore. And I initially liked Michonne and Rick together but not after they killed Carl as he was a large part of their relationship dynamic. Now their relationship just looks awkward.
Doesn’t matter about Carl the writing is bad the show got bad because of bad writing that started with Carl they even did a 180 with his character when alive shit I remember people being glad he got killed off.
Carl died literally just bc his actor wanted to leave the show, he explained that he just wanted to go to college and move on in his life. And allegedly thats why rick's actor also left twd so he could get a break and see his family more. So, yea it doesnt make sense for the show bc it wouldve been better if they survived. But when a show goes on for THAT long you have to realize that the actors might want to end their time before the show is ready for it narratively
@cabbagejuice I heard that the actor who plays Carl moved closer to set and was looking into colleges in the area so he could be more involved? If I remember correctly him being fired was out of nowhere and he and his family were upset because of how sudden it was.

I feel like the standards for tv shows are so low nowadays that pretty much any show that’s not absolute garbage is regarded as good tv.
It's still light years ahead of tv a couple decades ago. Try and find consistently good tv shows from 2000 to 2009 besides futurama. There's way more quality out there, there's just also a lot more attention on what's being made in general.
Funny how history repeats itself and you have your head up your ass like everyone else in the past.
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero so in your opinion, the only good tv show for the entirety of the 2000s was Futurama. Get outta town lmao, there was plenty of good tv.
@@owenleal Futurama was always a cringe bad show. Smellescope....as soon as I heard it I knew they were gonna say it and knew how cringe unfunny it was. A Uranus joke? Like a heard 50,000 times by 3 years old Uranus joke? That's good tv?
Why'd the chicken cross the road?
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero uhhh... breaking bad?
26:27 Im sure hes kidding but for anyone who hasnt seen the show. Michone does this because Rick refuses to leave, he finds a way to allow michone to escape but not him too.
Michone (furious with rick), takes the opportunity during the storm to jump out with him as an opportunity to escape.
She wasnt angry at him because they didnt get enough chances to talk 😂

Every time I hear CRM I laugh because it stands for Customer Relationship Management and that’s what I specialize in with the jobs I’ve had at different museums and organizations. 🤣
The CRM is backed by a powerful force .... a Salesforce 🤔

A lot of ppl are trying to play it safe with basic, bland, generic "art" to have the largest appeal possible. So I think that's why we continue to get things like this, along with reboots, revivals, and remakes. Spinoff's, too. Risks are risky, after all. You might not get a return on investment.
“Risks are risky” is Gimple’s next line.

maybe I'm weird... i stopped watching in season 9 and only spin off i watched was FTWD (2 seasons then quit) but i like the lore of TWD more than I like the show. still love the lore, but i think FSN said it best @1:53 "TWD has gotten very comfortable with being consistently mediocre"
all these years and that is the ultimate way to describe it. even during the main shows run; it was times where you tell showrunners were just mailing it in. still a fan of the lore, but the showrunners never gave it their all IMO. it was just ok for them to be just ok.
You're not weird for after the Glenn fake out death, Carl dying among other screw ups people were leaving in doves.
Jesus you made it to season 9 lmfao hahaha
@@jabronisauce6833 at least i can say outside of 2 season of FEAR i had zero interest and spent no time watching ANY of the numerous spin offs... i can live with that
I would recommend S3 of fear. It is an insight into what twd could have been with everything done right (morally grey and deep characters, fast pacing, unpredictable, natural dialogue etc.)
Carl being dead makes me see Rick as an actual dead man walking. The connection with Carl is so different. I don't see it happening with Judith Skywalker lol even that NPC RJ. We grew up and followed the father son dynamic of Rick and Carl, only for it to be sabotaged. If it was Carl who succeeded Rick and they had that reunion again like in the first season, that would've been more impactful. Imagine, an adult Carl running towards old Rick, almost synonymous to young Carl and Rick back then. Absolute cinema.
IT'S A STEEL CABLE YOU CANNOT BREAK IT WITH AN AXE!! lol I will continue shouting this from the mountaintops because it blows me how many people think an axe would cut through that
Thank you! I even knew the cable couldn’t be cut just hearing it unravel in the spool on the CRM Soldiers. That, and I think some people forgot this is Rick Grimes, he obviously would’ve tried cutting the rope/cable before going for the Hail Mary option.
@@zacharymenchaca2336 Right! He obviously would have tried it if it had even a 1% chance of working. Next people will be saying Negan's bat can blast through brick walls
Ok let’s focus on the real elephant in the room. The axe had walker blood and guts on it… he burned his stump closed with flaming zombie guts… 😂
@@scottsspotyou are wrong. I am profesional blacksmith and swordsmith and I know for sure he would be absolutely able to cut that cable. Because axes are also from steel and has bigger mass. We (blacksmiths) use chisels and hardcuts to cut even bigger pieces of steel and it's has similar shape and material as axes. If he had enough of time to heat up an axe, which is actually a big chunk of metal and would take forever to properly heat up, then he had enough of time to heat up that cable which would soften it and made it even easier. Sure, it would make a lot of noice, but cutting hand off would be much higher risk as no matter how big badass you are, you can got into a shock and then bleed to death as pre-heating exe like this wouldn't be enough to close up artery. This is just bad writing in a show that had no logic, not even when it was still good.
@@boredinczechia4382 so you’re certain the CRM don’t give him an old, likely dull axe? Or that it weighs anywhere near enough to create the necessary force? He obviously has no way to heat up the axe or the cable, so honestly I don’t see it being possible at all. He also can’t even pull it taught for attempting a cut anyways, it has tons of slack. Perhaps in a blacksmith setting, with a sharpened axe, a heated cable, the cable pulled extremely taught, and with a hard surface beneath it, it is possible. Not in a forest with what’s likely to be a 10+ year old axe and a dude with no blacksmithing knowledge. Seems perfectly realistic to me
Thank you for taking your time watching and reviewing something I know I will never watch but love to see broken down cause I loved the beginning
Another thing I wonder, how did they get home? Neither of them knew that they all left behind Alexandria and the Hilltop to live at the Commonwealth, so realistically, they'd likely just show up to a completely empty Alexandria.
I mean when Michonne used the radio to contact and meet up with Judith, she could have told them to meet near the Commonwealth, which is still plausible. We don't need stuff like that spoon fed to us.
They didn't all abandon Alexandria. Most of them only moved to the Commonwealth until renovations were complete.
People like Aaron and Gabriel moved back to Alexandria after the timeskip in the finale
They prolly learned that everyone left Alexandria and now lives at the Commonwealth
Scott Gimple really should be tried and charged for his crimes.
Maybe even for his... Rick Crimes?

That bit about sunk cost fallacy of mediocre TV shows speaks to me. I think there’s a lot of power in streaming that we’re not utilizing. There’s 100 years worth of film and maybe 70 years worth of television in existence and a lot of it is sitting on streaming platforms as “content”. And instead of watching the greatest movies and TV shows in the history of media, we’re wasting our time watching mediocre fare just because it’s new. But there’s a world of better and more entertaining stuff in the back catalogues of every streaming service that we ignore.
I’m starting to think that we’re so trained to keep consuming new stuff because that’s kind of how our economy and society functions that we’re wasting an opportunity to exploit these platforms’ need for content. There’s a bunch of gold nuggets buried amongst the old batteries and used tissues that previous generations have already told us, “Here is the best art my generation has created,” and we’re just ignoring them like, “No thanks. I’m pretty focused on this pile of used tissues right now. They’re on top of the pile at the moment.”
Danai is a phenomenal writer/actor. The Walking Dead never deserved her. If you haven't read her plays, you should. Eclipsed is a masterpiece.
Just imagine what we could've had if Danai Guraira had been brought on as an executive producer back during season 7 ot 8 (as was her due) and she could've fought for so many characters we had grown to love?
You'd call her a c*nt if she did that. Sorry but Walking Dead has a mostly male audience, she would be careful not to overstep the way women who enter male franchises have (Kathleen Kennedy)
Chill bruh you give her way too much credit
bro she isn’t a world renowned writer 😂 yes she wrote a very good episode but that doesn’t mean she has the ability a whole story arc with 2 seasons of content
@@8johh Mostly because whites ONLY declare what they like as greatness - like Star Wars or something lame like that. Shonda Rhymes is better writer than most of the critically acclaimed writers - think about it... Best selling novelists are J.K Rowling and Stephenie Meyer.

Bro it’s been a year since your walking dead video, feels like it was uploaded yesterday 😅
30:00 the original show should never have killed Carl, plus they killed him in the most ridiculous and inconsistent way
So the CRM big twist was that they're the Saviors, who were Woodbury
Which is the only major type of villain the show ever had. Heck, wven Rick's group was that villain to others.
12:31 THe idea of exploring male (hero)vulnerability was honestly interesting and a topic rarely explored. A strong female allows for a place to be created for the hero to be vulnerable.
I loved that show until the last episode… I had no high expectations but to get Rick & Michonne back together so that was enough for me 😂
same i just wish they didnt touch the CRM stuff
For me basically this is a good spin off it's just kinda sad the last episode is meh, well at least 4 episodes were good and we got Rick back
Your videos are like a little shelter from the hustle and bustle and stress! I am grateful for your creativity and inspiration! ✨🌿

This video PERFECTLY summed up all my problems with the walking dead over the years
So like… Andrew Lincoln is an incredible actor who, I thought, at one point wanted to gtfo of TWD for the sake of not getting typecast or pigeonholed or turned away from roles. I wonder if he wishes he had.
He’s incredible, I would LOVE to see him in more, I just can’t help but wonder if clinging to this particular paycheck was a bad call in the long run.
That man’s net worth is like 30 million and a large chunk of that is from the walking dead of course he can never act again and he’ll be fine for the most part plus unlike other famous protagonist roles Andrew has showed pretty much every single human emotion in his performance as Rick grimes and can portray a stoic hero and at times a brutal anti hero so in terms of just pure acting he showed he can play almost any single archetype
Another thing that bugs me about Scott Gimple is that he always seems to be HOVERING around the main actors at red carpets, some interviews, and other related events. It’s giving me helicopter parent vibes and it’s just off-putting.
In an evil villain voice... "I have your career in the palm of my hands! Remember that before you say anything negative about my work!"
You clearly must not watch many shows he’s doing that because he’s the show runner. Look at anytime they interviewed Vince Gilligan for breaking bad are better call Saul he’s the main guy the person making all the decisions so they typically have you on the red carpet because they’re gonna want to ask you questions about the show questions that actors would not know about.
Trust me, I know how this industry works. I work professionally as a filmmaker. I’ve even worked on a few episodes of The Walking Dead years ago. I’ve been to the Emmys, the Grammys and the Oscars. It’s not just a walking dead thing.
@@Faceplay2okay, fine but no other show runner hovers like he does…
Another excuse for me to procrastinate 🙏
I finished my semester last week! Lol!
Same…. I’ve written over twenty pages of my screenplay project and I’m nowhere near done 💀
Steel cable is very hard to cut through, especially against soft ground, and with the number of times rick had tried to escape, i think it was implied that he had probably tried by cutting the cable in the past and it just didn't work
Granted a simple 5 second shot of him trying to cut the cable first would have helped, but i don't think its really a problem
We deserve a Walking Dead animated show that stays faithful to the source material.
Exactly they proved they can do it right with invincible so just do it with twd.
@@Zenohhthe show still technically ended like not even 2 years ago so I highly doubt we’ll get ANOTHER adaptation of the same god dam story anytime soon but I can see it happening in like a decade or two
Animation is Cinema.
When Dylan was explaining the echalone stuff, the first thought that crossed my mind was "if he reveals that the CRM are just baddies who dominate for resurces, I'm gonna scream" 😅 You know what? I just exhaled with all of my soul. Guessing something like this without even watching the series doesn't mean that I am very smart, it means these shows are very, very dumb.

I know that her character isn't really good, but I always love to see Lesley Ann Brandt (the actress who plays Thorn)
Ok ok I hate Gimplespeak and his creative touch as much as the next guy but I'll give him one thing and its those dreams. They do actually matter, in episode 4 when Rick is breaking down and says he can't see Carl's face anymore and starts dreaming of Michonne and those dreams are what have been keeping him alive so they are important not only to the story but to Rick as well. So I get wanting to hate on Gimple because that man's character writing is atrocious but those dreams actually mean something to the story.
i like the chill music in the bg of your videos
I’m pretty sure that’s his music that he makes
35:18 SO REAL - "love doesn't die" i literally rolled my eyes like bro rly
17:26 i don't know if it's the actor's real voice but man is it hilarious it feels so exaggerated like the actor gargled gravel
This is funny - because it was at this moment that I thought this guy has a great voice 😂
Honestly I just find it kind of dumb that they're still looking for Rick. The tension in that entirely comes from the fact the audience knows he's still alive. But the fact the characters just refuse to believe he died is just...really silly.
Yeah yeah I get it they love him and everything but what possible reason would you think he's alive? There's no way anyone would know that someone picked him up in a fucking helicopter, maybe if they saw that I could buy them looking for whoever took him but all they saw was that he either got blown up or fell in a river and then either died or somehow didn't. And yeah I know that they also want to find him at all even if he's dead for some closure but still it's been 5 years in a world infested with zombies, there's no logical reason to conclude maybe he's still alive or that his shambling corpse I guess just went on a huge cross country trip.
If freaking Daryl couldn't find him for years then they should have just considered him dead. It makes much more sense that he just died and got eaten like his first wife.
it entirely hinges on him being the main character and the writing treating the story like a franchise. The characters don’t act like people would irl, they act like they have meta knowledge that he is ~important ~
They did give up looking for him. But then Michonne found his stuff on the boat from one of his escape attempts so she knew he was alive.
@@angelo8606That could have possibly been explained that someone took it from his corpse
@@Ashbrash1998oh yeah totally like his corpse was carrying a phone with art of michonne and judith
@@ginster458except he wasn’t the main character for years as these characters where being made to look for him it’s fucking dumb. He’s gone or he’s not and honestly you can’t make a zombie apocalypse movie or show and have protect main characters well unless they die frequently. The main character should be the fucking world the idea the concept. Show was ass ever since the zombies became irrelevant. When the zombies where a threat the show was at its best.
i was literally JUST watching your original TWD video wondering if you were gonna cover this. always looking forward to your stuff dude !
Your channel is the only way I can keep up to date with TWD. I just lost interested completely around season 7ish, and never really got the pull to check it out. I watched Fear The Walking Dead for like 1 season, and TWD S7, then stopped and never went back. It's a pity. I used to love this show back in the day, when you were describing this series, I was literally thinking "it sounds liek Fast & Furios", then you literally said it. Geez.
I just can't believe they didn't take this chance to reunite all the characters from this unverse, have a final battle with this "Thanos level Enemy" (as you put it) and then we'd get some sort of satisfying ending to the TWD unvierse. Oh well, can't milk a dead cow I gues...
At the end of the day, I'm glad I watched 8 episodes of Shogun this month (epic limited series BTW), and not this. (I was kind of considering it, when I saw the trailer)
I havent even seen the series and the short clips you posted here got me and a roller coaster of emotions its crazy. Im glad to see light at the end of the tunnel lol
We are living in a dystopia now and it probably gives people this feeling of happiness when they see them getting a happy end. In a post-apocalyptic tv show where everyone is horrible.
I completely forgot that show even existed.

TWD has hit full stride in their “Supernatural” arc. Should have been put to pasture years ago yet still hobbling along.
It just hit me! As and Bs= Alphas and Betas 😂
STOPPP its absolutely alphas and betas 💀 thats so cringe
@@justoverit Yes like the pecking order of humanity for there are those who lead and those who follow.
Plus the villains ideals are hypocritical most of the time anyway.
As soon as I heard type A leads and type B follows I knew exactly what they were referring to 😂 I about died, alpha male rhetoric invades again
In fairness, it could also just refer to the old "type A personality and type B personality" theory coined by cardiologists. Type A's are (allegedly) more aggressive and more prone to heart disease, and Type B's are (allegedly) more laidback and less prone to heart disease.
It's not necessarily a cringe reference to dumb manosphere ideas of being "alpha" or "beta."
Killing Carl already destroyed the entire point of the Walking Dead story, there's a reason the comics end on Carl and explore the implications of his survival as the thematic continuation of the human race. Carl surviving is the point, killing him is the same as humanity ending. You can abandon bad seasons and make something good from the ashes, but if the core of something is broken there's nothing that can be done.

I went so far down the comments before finding you! My friends, we are the only ones who understand 😂
I think the first four episodes are the best The Walking Dead has had to offer in a while. The last two are just normal Walking Dead episodes. I only cared about Rick and Michonne because they have the most compelling story out of all the characters in the TWD universe so I'm overall happy with this series but I wish it was like two more episodes.
Ive literally said the exact say things! I wholeheartedly agree! Very well said. If they'd made it 10 episodes like the original SO MUCH could've been said and done.
That's not really a compliment. Walking dead has been a corpse of itself for years, so being the best WD in a while is like... a 6/10 at best.
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero i don't think it was meant to be a compliment babe it's just an opinion
I wish Walking dead could get the budget and a solid director/producer, like Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, they know how to create a great storyline and make it interesting and solid visually.❤
I actually enjoyed the show while watching it because it's RICK GRIMES!!! Rick was, is, and will always BE The Walking Dead! He IS the show! Give me Rick Grimes in any show and i'll watch! But I do agree with a lot of your opinions here! Especially the Jadis hate! She's always been my least favorite! So boring! Can't hold my attention for 30 seconds! I absolutely love your idea of getting all the main characters back together one last time to defeat the CRM! That would have been a REAL EPIC ending to TWD once and for all! They are stretching the universe way too far! And it all sucks now! Also, one last comment... We need to praise Andrew and Danai's acting in this! You can criticize everything in this show, except their acting! They are MASTERS! And they really know their characters in and out! They are espectacular!
I am quite late to TWD franchise, so I binge-watched the original 11 seasons a few months ago. What really got me hooked was that everything just made sense, every action had a consequence, it felt 'real' - well, at least until Glenn's fake death. When Rick 'disappeared' in season 9 I did not know that the actor (Andrew Lincoln) actually left the show. So I was really expecting TWD to end with Rick and Michonne getting back together (happy ending). When they didn't my TWD world finally collapsed, only to be 'resurrected' when I saw the announcement of 'The Ones Who Live'. I even subscribed to the only network that would stream this show here in the UK - and again, after watching ALL 6 episodes, my TWD world collapsed! Episode 1 was brilliant, as you said. The face of Michonne when she finally found Rick was priceless (a huge tribute to Danai's acting skills). But that was it. I might as well have just watched the last part of the last episode just to see how it ended. And even that was atrocious for reasons you have so perfectly illustrated. NOTHING made sense, NOTHING felt 'real'. And at that point I realised I was the fool for watching it.
Just as i have tons chores to do, THANK YOU!
im so glad i found this video i was told i was wrong about the show missing something and feeling bland and boring, im so glad im not the only one
The random spanish phrases 😂😂 I felt the frustration through my screen
Fuck this show and the positive feedback from fans will reassure AMC that people will love mid. I hope this franchise would just try to return to its peak of seasons 1-5 and 6 and 9
I was a weekly watcher when the show first started. I loved the first season and especially the first episode, but I think the show peaked at episode 1, especially the art and film style. I still remember watching the series until season 5, specifically the scene where Daryl and Carol fall off a bridge in a van. At that moment I knew the series was just nonsense every week with no real risk to the main characters until the season or midseason finale. I even tried rewatching the series later to see if I could make it past that spot, and I gave up at the same season again. I loved your first Walking Dead video because I got to see how the series ended up going without having to sit down and watch it. And now I know not to waste any time with this show, even if I wasn't going to anyway lol.
The Walking Dead will never recover from the mistakes of season 8. The original show was about Rick finding his family in a broken world. Then his family died and he was gone too. It wasn't The Walking Dead anymore, it was just another post-apocalyptic show. More like a soap opera to be honest. A spin off with the same name. Carl never should've died. The show should've ended with him. I remember when he got bit and all the theories were coming out. "Rick is immune, that's why he survived his coma, the zombie virus brought him back to life but didn't turn him. Which means Carl is immune too". Surely they wouldn't kill off Carl right? Then they're getting rid of Rick too? Oh but don't worry guys, he's not actually dead, he will be in 3 movies, wait no actually a show, that will come out six years later. Enjoy your slop in the meantime. Finally the show comes out, and even though it was pretty bad and felt rushed, Rick's presence alone made it enjoyable. Until Carl is mentioned and all you can do is remember the colossal fumble of the original show.
Not even just that the show got pretty bad and started losing a lot of views around season five manly because they kept deviating way too much from the comic book storyline. It’s where it wasn’t even adaptation
This CRM premise was build up that many people were expecting an endgame-like finale. But then the actual finale of TOWL feels rushed and kinda disappointing. Still a solid show tho
Yeah, 6-7 years of hyping the CRM as this big, menacing, shadowy force only for them to be the victims of a deus ex machina courtesy of Gimple.
I wouldn’t call it a solid show.. there were too many flaws and weak episodes to call it that - it was just okay.
"Solid show" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Then the disappointment is on them cause noone told them that was happening LOL It was told to yall that it was a Rick and Michonne show. Love story style. Not TWD season 12. Not Avengers Endgame the Remix. Not Rick and friends. Rick and Michonne. It was about them Finding each other, exploring who they become and then them finding their way back home. They told yall this.
Yall had a whole other spin off that was CRM focused for two seasons and didn’t even watch it. Why tf are yall expecting that over here on TOWL. Thats the only thing dumber than expecting random characters that dont even know where they are to pop out the bushes and help them fight the CRM. Lmao
They still 'destroyed' the CRM in this show in a very underwhelming and rushed way. I would have been happy if it were just Rick and Michonne escaping the CRM and destroying it in another spinoff or something like that
Part of me wishes the show and franchise ended with Season 8. Killing Carl was a terrible decision, but at least the Season 8 finale ended with Rick bringing all the communities together
To be fair people (myself included) who still watch the Walking Dead franchise, don't deserve a better show.

I don't know if I would call it wasted potential. I think it delivered on what I've been wanting to see ever since Andrew Lincoln left in season 9: Getting reunited with his family. I did not expect the show to resolve that in just 1 season with 6 episodes, compared to how Daryl Dixon will get a (completely unnecessary imo) season 3.
I thought we would see a lot more of the CRM, but I think it would be problematic to make a potential season 2 interesting about that.
I wouldn't mind if the show got like 2-3 episodes more and the wrapped it up.
The problem with the main show for years, was that everything was dragged to eternity. It was completely unnecessary with 16 episodes pr season, and freaking 24 episodes in seasons 10 and 11.
I was just happy to see Andrew Lincoln return again. It wrapped up quickly, yes, but I wouldn't call it wasted potential. The show was mostly character driven, and it was primarily about Rick and Michonne, so I understand it from a writing point of view.
The only thing I missed was seeing the "season 5 machete Rick" that Gimple teased from the day that Andrew and Danai went on stage at Comic Con to announce the show 20 months ago.
That Rick never appeared.
But overall, I'm satisfied. They should just leave it at season 1, imo. Although I hope Rick and Michonne somehow returns again.
Dude I'm BEGGING you on my knees to make a review of AMC Interview with the Vampire. This show is just phenomenal! Absolutely stunning on all levels. And I feel that your analysis would be a total blast, so...pretty please? Season 2 is airing in less than two weeks btw.
People hated it at first before it even aired because they were scared of how "woke" it would be.
Agreed, sadly haven't read the source material yet but I loooove the 90s movie, I was scared I wouldn't enjoy the show but I like how they're doing their own thing, it's different but so good.
I dont comment often but I absolutely LOVE that show, ninja 100% needs to do a review on it because I know he would love it too!
@@suzygirl1843 I'd rather have it woke than whatever the hell they wanted.
TLOU is "woke" and it was pretty damn good. I got an explanation as to how the apocalypse started, the military wasn't complete fuckall, and the virus was something that actually could bring down the end for the humankind. Also, about the "woke", people are really mad that they saw a lesbian in a zombie apocalypse yet they don't even know what their sexualities would be if they were thrown into an apocalypse.
In addition, they're punching air over stuff they seemed to accept pretty damn well? Victor Strand was gay. And yet I'm yet to hear a single blockhead whine about FTWD Season 2.
It was super duper gay
I feel like Jadis is such a focus because she is a show original character, a Gimple original. Unlike say Carl...
Honestly one of the reasons I stopped watching the show is how much it changed from the graphic novels in a way that didn't really add anything. Adaptations are always going to be different and I don't mind taking liberties in order to make something better or fit to a new format. For example the Spiderverse films are almost nothing like the comics they adapted and one piece wasn't one to one in a lot of places and those are both fantastic. That being said if you are going to diverge from the critically acclaimed graphic novel series (and even diverge from the initial tone and feel of the first few seasons) you should do so for a reason that feels earned which the show doesn't.
I have never seen an episode of The Walking Dead. The most I've seen is the last video and this one. The section about Carl made me screw-my-face-up Cry. Very good video.
