    I definitely hope you do Fear. The show in my opinion gets better but there are definitely times where everything drags. I know this might not help get it chosen but I need to be honest. The last season is so disgustingly terrible the only way I'd watch it again is if you recapped it because it would be hilarious. It's the most cringe acting ever and it's amazing because all the actors once acted great in this show! It's baffling really. Anyway you're awesome and I've never donated to people before but as I've been watching UA-cam on my TV consistently now I see how much you and other creators put into all this. It's honestly impressive so Thank you for putting in your time to make my life a little better! Cheers! JamesDM

      Fear The Walking Dead is planned for next year, it may be sooner but can't say for sure yet. I know it's going to be a painful watch towards the end but honestly that's why I'm kinda looking forward to it.

    IMO the main show should have followed the comic story more, mainly by having Carl survive to the end and having Rick’s story end in the main show. I feel like this would be a more fulfilling ending and they could’ve made the Rick spinoff one about Carl and life after instead, but they decided they didn’t want to pay Chandler Riggs anymore so they ruined the show by killing him off. It’s kinda sad that the bottom dollar and profit of the show came before telling a fulfilling story like the comics

      @@Kirasfox from my understanding, the sole reason they didn’t keep paying him was the fact a new contract would have to be negotiated since Chandler Riggs was about to turn 18 and AMC didn’t want to pay him any more so they just found a way to kill him off, they did it with other characters like Dale and even having characters like Maggie leave the show was because of contract disputes. It baffles me that they refuse to pay actors who made the show what it is, and kill fundamental characters to cut corners and save money

    Daryl Dixon is actually solid and we’re gonna get a lot of world building. I’d say even if you don’t cover Maggie and negan for now, please do cover Daryl Dixon. I was frustrated how quickly the nuns got dispatched but honestly it’s been pretty good overall. Not perfect by any means

    • @beentheredonethat5908

      I actually thought the nuns dieing so quickly added an element of reality to the show. Let's be honest, young military and actual combat knowledgeable men would very quickly destroy them, they served their purpose and their courage was amazing. They stood no chance and knew it, yet winning wasn't the goal, protecting the boy was, buying him time and space, and they did in heroic and selfless fashion.
      Practicing with weapons and actually engaging in war and death are different. Put a black belt of 20 years in a ring with a 2 years trained mma fighter and see who wins, it won't be the black belt, it will be the.combat warrior , trained and experienced in actual fighting and who can handle the truth of being hit and hitting, over the one who trained to throw hits, but never has.
      Then the real world truth, males are made for combat, bones structure, muscles, nerves, all made to fight, faster, stronger, more aggressive, against smaller and more defensive women, the nuns had no real desire to hurt or kill, except a few, and they stood little chance against a stronger and better armed opponent. If the nuns had fought from a distance , used technique and distance they would have stood a better chance, but face to face, guns vs melee weapons, they did far better then I thought they would.

    The best part of fear was seeing normal society utterly collapse, which we really didnt see in the main show because rick just wakes up after everything already happened. We need more of the first season of fear in different parts of the world and how they adapt to it. Maybe even from the government and scientist perspective trying to keep it secret and contained. Or from the perspective of a soldier. There are so many avenues they can take it even as short stories, but they seem to keep wanting to do the same thing with the same characters.

    • @ArgusLart
      @ArgusLart 7 місяців тому +4

      Agreed. When I watched Fear the Walking dead I had the urge of watching everything going down and once it hit the status quo of the main show, I dropped it.
      If Fear The Walking dead were an Anthology with each season covering a self contained plot showing the start of the spread at different places around the World, I think it would have been way more interesting. Perhaps a character or another crossing over, but mainly self countained seasons.

    Daryl Dixon is moving in the direction of "What Daryl wants" - they just can't do it in the 1st episode as the narrative shift wouldn't make sense for a character who has been the protector for so long. The cinematography alone is worth watching the show and seeing the initial outbreak in Paris was amazing (not a spoiler as there are scenes in the trailer). I rank the spin offs in this order - FTWD, Daryl Dixon, Dead City, World Beyond, Tales ... with The Ones Who Live most likely topping the list but TBD

    Fears first season is so damn good. I loved that scene where they're on the water and watching the city get bombed. It was like an expanded scene of the cold open of one of the episodes in season 2 TWD. the rest was forgettable, I got through to like season 4 or 5 because people said it got really good, but I have no idea what crack they were smoking because the writing took a nose dive and somehow got worse as it went on. Travis' death was one of the stupidest and most underwhelming things I've ever seen.

    I think Dead city is actually worth watching (even though it feels like more of the same). The problem with TWD being a "cinematic universe" is that I don't think the concept warrents enough material for all these shows. At the end of the day there's only so much you can do with zombies before it gets repetitive. I understand why AMC made all these spin-offs though (more money lol, this franchise is their cash cow now).

    Fear is the only one I think should be covered. or atleast the first 2 seasons. What I loved about Fear was how realistic the downfall of society was. Nobody believed Nick and what he saw because he's an addict, and initially the only people turning were druggies who'd overdosed. Nobody knew what was going on. But in some scenes where you see paramedics who'd been bit. You know whats coming and its horrific, but course they are clueless as they don't know the bite will kill you. And then season 2, setting the show outside of the US was great in seeing how other countries handled the situation. And especially Mexico was a great choice because it was the Cartel who took over where the Government abandoned. Not too different from Mexico today, especially in the Northern regions. After Season 2 it became a standard people vs people show and I stopped watching after season 4. Which is a shame because I think seasons 1 and 2 are 2 of the best seasons in the entire TWD franchise.

    Fear the walking dead has a strong beginning but gets progressively insane. I remember the somber tone of the first season. Some existencialist refletion on the character of nick, how a person that struggles with chemical abuse feels confortable now that he can only live in the moment, and the future is uncertain. This same uncertainty breaks Travis character, as he learns he can no Longer trust figures of authority, as he learns to have agency in this world and learns that it is impossible to save everybody...

    I think you'll find the character aspects you want in the Daryl show if you keep watching. The story does develop more than just Daryl grunting and protecting!
    Also the WB Jenner scene is literally the post-credit scene of the entire show and has literally nothing to do with the rest of it. So I wouldn't say it is a good indicator of the quality of WB.
    Also also Dead City spoiler alert:
    The "variants" in Dead City are not real variants. Just funky looking normal walkers. A-la the bloated ocean walkers, spider filled walker, or moss/fungus covered walkers.

    I think in Fear you get to see two (of my favourite moments) the son, with the swept back hair, becomes a whisperer because he believed that the herd had saved him from a pack of dogs.
    The second favourite moment was Strand talking to a cosmonaut that is currently up in space, through a radio he found on a beached yacht.

    It's insane that Fear the Walking Dead started out as a spin off/prequel focused on the early days of the apocalypse but then after 3 seasons nearly every main/supporting character from the first three seasons is killed off and one of the main characters from the main show takes over the series. Only for then two more characters from the main show to show up as major characters before finally getting rid of all the returning main show characters in the final season and reintroducing the original protagonist to finish up the show.

    The first... like two seasons of FTWD was sooo good. Less about The Wildest Cowboy cop with a Big Iron on his hip, chewing ass and kicking gum, and more about a (relatively) normal family dealing with the outbreak, it was fantastic. They should have contiued the whole "this is what you could do" scenarios and what troubles could arise, like when they were on the boat, and lived with a militia, then a huge hotel ect. Awesome ideas of what someone could do in the apocalypse, and I thought they were going to explore more of those kinds of scenarios, so I was psyched. They could have done such a great job, a whole new spin on TWD world.
    But then it was just TWD: Bargin Brand. The characters would constantly flip-flop too, which was annoying. They destroyed Strand's character 100x over, and he was the BEEEST thing about that show.
    But, I think all of them will end like this. Great hype, huuuge potential, but it'll just be average, medicore and generally just C- grade all around.

    The problem with the walking dead cinematic universe is that realistically you can only do so much with shambler zombies before it gets boring and repetitive that’s why other franchises add zombie variants to keep things fresh. Also the whole “it’s not about the zombies it’s about how humans act” is something that’s been overdone as well
