In the original version of this scene, Shane was supposed to insult Rick to the point of Rick stabbing Shane, then Shane would turn into a walker, Rick would grab Shane’s gun and try to shoot him, only to realize that he never had any bullets, meaning Shane had no intention of killing Rick, he just wanted Rick to step up and do what was necessary

Such a sad scene. Nobody won here. Shane sure as hell didn’t win, Rick didn’t either, nor the group. Two brothers, losing their battle together. Still gets me after all these years.

No, it was more of Shane because she stopped doing whatever they had. Once Rick got back it was Shane that couldn’t except that and still was crazed over Lori kitty cat.
Jon Berthal is a genius. Him and Andrew Lincoln had auditioned for the main characters and the producers couldn’t decide who should play Rick and who should play Shane but Jon made it easy by asking to play Shane knowing well that Shane was going to die early into the show. He did this because he knew this show was going to go on for a while so this was a one in a lifetime opportunity to make it big and get opportunities elsewhere.

If you watch the regular clip Shane smirks at Rick for giving away his gun because Shane takes as a sign of Rick being the lesser man but ultimately Rick was the better man because he made the tough decision to kill before Shane did.
Better man is subjective especially here. Rick is the more dangerous man. He is capable of far worse than Shane but he doesn't present that way. Shane swings his anger like a club, Rick uses his anger like a scalpel. Only showing it when needed.

Naw, Shane was right. Rick had too much morals and eventually kneeled to Negan, got his Son killed, Glen killed…Shane would have ripped Negans heart out and beat him with it😅. Shane was the hero they needed in the No Rules ANYTHING goes world.
I love this scene, but the detail I love most is that Rick had convinced Shane to stand down. They were brothers, and they loved eachother like brothers. Last time, Rick let Shane live. This time, Shane let Rick live... but Rick knew at this point that it was only ending in one way

Rick is an amazing manipulator but only used the skill when it was necessary. He used Lori and Carl to lower Shane’s guard before killing him, and then used Carl again to slash Negan.
God Lori was toxic af. She treated Shane like he had just handfed Rick to the infected while he was still in a coma. In actuality, Shane's actions actually saved Rick's life and not to mention that Shane also saved Lori and Carl by helping them evacuate the infected city. All that Lori was doing when blaming Shane was projecting her own guilt onto him. I was glad that they got rid of Lori. She was a massive liability to the group.
@@23DEATHNUMBER to be fair in the moment Shane wasn’t right he was too bitter if he had held his shit together another couple months he and Rick would have both had the same mindset because Rick eventually reached to where Shane was in his development
Shane's original death was going to be exactly that, except Carl doesn't show up and when rick goes to kill walker Shane (using Shane's gun) it would click showing the gun was never loaded, would've been a way better ending for Shane, wendigoon explains it way better than me in his walking dead iceberg video
In the comics it’s totally different Rick is willing to die to try and convince Shane he never actually kills him Carl comes along and sees what’s happening and kills Shane Rick grabs Shane’s gun and racks the slide but realizes There was never a bullet in the chamber The gun was empty Shane was trying to push Rick to do whatever it took to survive to protect his family Even kill his best friend At least I think so I haven’t read the comics in ages and Jon Bernthal even stated he wanted this scene to play out like that instead of the final product This is even shown later on in Ricks last episode when he has that talk with Shane in the squad car “I’m sorry for what happened…for what I did to you…” “Man you gotta let shit go….you gotta move on from that….right now you gotta fight! Where’s that animal I want you to dig deep and find him and fight! Rick! Man WAKE UP!”
This was the number one saddest death in the whole series for me… seeing them as best buddies before the apocalypse, Shane coming to visit Rick in the hospital and knowing all that, seeing this scene it genuinely made tear up 🥲
@@Getstr8cash Shane was an insane murderer who wanted to bang his best friends wife so badly he was willing to kill him over it (and even tried to rape her) how is his death more tragic than having your brains bashed out in front of your pregnant wife???
Oh my God I just realized Rick did the exact same thing to Negan and Shane. Made them get their guard down by appealing to their good side and then slashing them with a knife.
Nostalgia man. 🥺Grew up with the walking dead I remember watching it live on Sundays talking about it at school with friends Monday morning. We literally grew up with walking dead because it been on for 12 years.
"We tried to kill each other man, you thought we were just gonna forget about it all and ride off into the sunset" this is exactly what the show turned into, no realism left what so ever
@@sammann3577i think they’re referring to the stuff with Negan, despite not taking into account the numerous years of his imprisonment prior to freedom after he helped win the war against the whisperers *and* still having conflicts with group members over his past
In the original script, Shane’s gun is empty. He wanted Rick to kill him. Even though it may not be cannon, I pretend it is. Because it gives an end to Rick and Shane’s relationship that’s just so depressing. In a good way
I would imagine that rick would find out by picking up shanes gun after killing him then trying to shoot him when he comes back as a zombie only to find out that the gun is empty followed by Carl shooting zombie Shane and saving Rick. Fuck that would have been perfect .
That honestly doesn’t really fit the character at all. Shane was absolutely crazy. He wouldn’t sacrifice himself to make Rick stronger, he hated Rick at this point and wanted him dead.
In the comics and show Shane had nothing but Rick before the world changed. After he thought Rick died he actually had something of his own to keep his sanity.something to live for. After Lori's reaction to Shane's death. Rick shuda severed all emotional attachment to her.
He wanted rick to kill him. He knew rick was soft and wouldn’t make it so he had to make a sacrifice and make him stronger to keep everyone safe even if it cost him his life.
@@Wolf-md2ui thats just idiotic way to go. you have no idea about shanes character. He was crazy he wanted lori and carl to himself and nobody would actually kill themselves in the dumbest way possible😂
No, If I was Rich, I don't want to change. Keep my mind close to neutralize as much as possible like Rick. I don't think he can manipulate, even Negan know Rick can't actually believe him as much. Negan had said it with his mouth,
I always felt like Shane wanted Rick to kill him because he couldn't live with what he had become after killing Otis. Plus the manipulation Lori was doing to both of them pitted them against each other. Lori wanted one gone because of her own guilt.
Shane was ahead of his time in terms of mentality, but it’s still psychotic and irrational behavior. Might’ve been a better survivalist at the time, but he certainly wasn’t level headed enough to make the decisive, challenging decisions necessary to keep the entire group alive
He did here too Rick put down Shane Carl put down the Reanimated Shane and Shane was supposed to walk towards Rick growling Rick’s name as a walker cause Jon Bernthal wanted Shane to be the first walker to speak to Rick this scene was well portrayed wish we got to see Shane haunt Rick as a walker for a couple seconds cause that would of been a nice little attention to detail that shows why They’re friendship was turning into a rivalry and taking a dark turn this is a conclusion of a difficult choice of Ricks life they truly were brothers in the original script the gun had no bullets Shane just wanted to be put out of his misery.

For me, this was the saddest moment in the walking dead. The fact that Shane kept Rick Alive only for him to have to kill him later. His own brother by bond though not by blood. The vicissitudes of fate are often fucked up.
This moment is so much better in the comic in my opinion. Rick was never going to kill Shane. Up until the moment Carl killed Shane, Rick never planned on killing Shane and would've died if Shane really willed it. It's such a big character choice for this to be a planned betrayal rather than a final attempt to save his friend. Its a big difference between comic Rick and show Rick.
In the show there are some people who are "too far gone". That have no possible way for redemption (the governor, the flower girl , etc) Rick saw that in Shane so he killed him because he was a threat to everyone. (Just like Carol the flower girl)
@@Cichyhub it's a big decision as a human being to decide and kill your best friend for any reason. In the show, he's ruthless. Knows what he needs to do and does it. He's a killer. At this point in the comic, he's unsure of what the world is becoming and what he needs to be in order to survive in it. He wanted more than anything for his friend to turn back to him, and was willing to die for it. He was willing to die for the hope that everyone could still be decent. Shane would have killed him if Carl hadnt stepped in and saved Rick... And that's when Rick learns he needs to be more to protect the ones he loves. It humanizes him more than the betrayal in the show in my opinion.
i can’t agree with that, this comment made me go read my first addition from start to finish and i still don’t see how it’s better? please explain i feel like the comic book version didn’t use the character enough, from the beginning it’s like he was supposed to be hated but in the show he becomes horrible overtime

What kind of idiot are you? Shane literally lied to Lori telling her that her Husband died, and then made a Move on her. Then Rick returns and instead of being happy his best friend is back, he goes Crazy because now Carl will never call him Daddy. Shane was weak and Lori had nothing to do with that
@@200doubleyou5 Well when Lori found out that Rick was still alive (so that Shane manipulated her), she told Shane to get his distance from her family. And what this jerk did ? He tried to rape her and still talk to her
@@200doubleyou5 And also, Shane always whine because he is not listened to by the others. But by the way he acts with people, he can only blame himself.
I most definitely believe this was Rick's first mistake only find out Shane was right. Imagine the challenges Rick and the party go through, how different if Shane was still around
Imagine if Lori wasn't around. Shane would have been there for flights he was ABSOLUTELY needed for. He probably would have been killed by Negan over Abraham though.
abraham is one of my favorite characters of the show.. you can tell abraham was ready, he was willing to die for everyone there so glenn or maggie could survive for there baby he was postured and standing strong.
@@heystara7318 yeah they would’ve. Shane would’ve went along with the plan to kill the saviors and the outcome would’ve been the same because Shane wasn’t smarter than Rick and Negan managed to outsmart Rick.
We needed Shane too. It s a shame the only person he taught before he died was andrea, and she became a badass for like a season. Also Shane and Rick dou would’ve shat in negans mouth. The governor would’ve been too scared to try anything and would’ve befriended Shane’s group at the prison. They needed Woodbury in the long run, the people they encountered after the governor were so much more savage. They could’ve been one of the Allied groups in the end.
That's an aspect that kills me. Shane was a cop! If anyone knows the importance of spacing it's him. He just lets Rick slowly close the distance. The same guy who was his bestfriend and fellow officers. Just doesn't compute.
@@secondpath5148 That makes sense. I still like the version Jon Bernthal tried to go with where it turns out Shane's gun was empty. So much better, more poetic and would haunt Rick even more
One of the first and most important breaking points for Rick.
Other than losing Carl this may have been the biggest breaking point for Rick bc it was the first time he realized he'd have to do things he never wanted to in order to survive
“I seen red.”

@@Rehn98 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHAHHHAHA
If you watch the regular clip Shane smirks at Rick for giving away his gun because Shane takes as a sign of Rick being the lesser man but ultimately Rick was the better man because he made the tough decision to kill before Shane did.
Better man is subjective especially here. Rick is the more dangerous man. He is capable of far worse than Shane but he doesn't present that way. Shane swings his anger like a club, Rick uses his anger like a scalpel. Only showing it when needed.

They both loved each other, as best friends.
Almost brothers, had Shane not gone insane.
Shane went crazy to much trauma .
Naw, Shane was right. Rick had too much morals and eventually kneeled to Negan, got his Son killed, Glen killed…Shane would have ripped Negans heart out and beat him with it😅. Shane was the hero they needed in the No Rules ANYTHING goes world.

I love this scene, but the detail I love most is that Rick had convinced Shane to stand down. They were brothers, and they loved eachother like brothers. Last time, Rick let Shane live. This time, Shane let Rick live... but Rick knew at this point that it was only ending in one way

Rick is an amazing manipulator but only used the skill when it was necessary. He used Lori and Carl to lower Shane’s guard before killing him, and then used Carl again to slash Negan.
God Lori was toxic af. She treated Shane like he had just handfed Rick to the infected while he was still in a coma. In actuality, Shane's actions actually saved Rick's life and not to mention that Shane also saved Lori and Carl by helping them evacuate the infected city. All that Lori was doing when blaming Shane was projecting her own guilt onto him. I was glad that they got rid of Lori. She was a massive liability to the group.
yes that toxic gal pushed rick to kill shane and when he did,she reacted the opposite 😂 women ☕

I always felt like he knew he was going to die and that he was trying to push Rick to go over the edge so he’d be as strong as he needed to be
Agreed shane kept trying to tell rick but rick wouldn't listen you can tell shane was pushing rick
@@23DEATHNUMBER to be fair in the moment Shane wasn’t right he was too bitter if he had held his shit together another couple months he and Rick would have both had the same mindset because Rick eventually reached to where Shane was in his development
Shane's original death was going to be exactly that, except Carl doesn't show up and when rick goes to kill walker Shane (using Shane's gun) it would click showing the gun was never loaded, would've been a way better ending for Shane, wendigoon explains it way better than me in his walking dead iceberg video
Nah, that's not it at all. Why would he want to die? That's his baby plus he wants to be around to protect lori and the kids
@@jameslangis9592 wasn’t that just an idea Jon Bernthal had?
This was one of the best episodes
Even from the beginning Rick had not only the ruthlessness to do what needed to be done but the guile required to accomplish it.
In the comics it’s totally different
Rick is willing to die to try and convince Shane he never actually kills him
Carl comes along and sees what’s happening and kills Shane Rick grabs Shane’s gun and racks the slide but realizes
There was never a bullet in the chamber
The gun was empty
Shane was trying to push Rick to do whatever it took to survive to protect his family
Even kill his best friend
At least I think so I haven’t read the comics in ages and Jon Bernthal even stated he wanted this scene to play out like that instead of the final product
This is even shown later on in Ricks last episode when he has that talk with Shane in the squad car
“I’m sorry for what happened…for what I did to you…”
“Man you gotta let shit go….you gotta move on from that….right now you gotta fight! Where’s that animal I want you to dig deep and find him and fight! Rick!
Man WAKE UP!”

In my opinion the saddest moment ever in the show was Daryl finding Merle zombified
I personally thought Shane was a decent person he was just broken whenever he saw Rick come back cause he knew it was over for him and Lori
Ye he even said sorry to Carol for killing the barn walkers
"Call you daddy is that what you want?" 😂
Oh my God I just realized Rick did the exact same thing to Negan and Shane. Made them get their guard down by appealing to their good side and then slashing them with a knife.
That's what makes him a very dangerous man.
@@emanuelcruz-lopez tip for future villains, if rick is starting to talk all nice all of the sudden, take the shot
Negan got Shaned. I though of that "fooled you!" scene from space balls when watching it.
Actually he got Negan with a piece of glass
That's "officer friendly" lol
Watching Rick's character devolved from a law abiding cop to a savage killer, is crazy.
It's refreshing not though..
Rick: Kills his best friend.
Also Rick: Spares the life of his worst enemy.
“DIS WAS YOU NOT MAYY!”

Still firmly believe Shane wasn’t going to kill Rick here
He would kill him. " Not today, not tomorrow " but he would try to kill him again.
"We tried to kill each other man, you thought we were just gonna forget about it all and ride off into the sunset" this is exactly what the show turned into, no realism left what so ever

@@sammann3577i think they’re referring to the stuff with Negan, despite not taking into account the numerous years of his imprisonment prior to freedom after he helped win the war against the whisperers *and* still having conflicts with group members over his past
@@sammann3577S8, all downhill from there.
In the original script, Shane’s gun is empty. He wanted Rick to kill him. Even though it may not be cannon, I pretend it is. Because it gives an end to Rick and Shane’s relationship that’s just so depressing. In a good way
I would imagine that rick would find out by picking up shanes gun after killing him then trying to shoot him when he comes back as a zombie only to find out that the gun is empty followed by Carl shooting zombie Shane and saving Rick. Fuck that would have been perfect .
Stop spreading this bs story
No that was never in the script. It was just John's suggestion. I'm glad they didn't go with that
That honestly doesn’t really fit the character at all. Shane was absolutely crazy. He wouldn’t sacrifice himself to make Rick stronger, he hated Rick at this point and wanted him dead.
@@sillythygoose Shane probably would have been written a bit differently then so that scene would fit his character
The saddest part is Shane was mostly right about it
Shane would killed the governor asap😂
In the comics and show Shane had nothing but Rick before the world changed. After he thought Rick died he actually had something of his own to keep his sanity.something to live for.
After Lori's reaction to Shane's death. Rick shuda severed all emotional attachment to her.
“Damn you for making me do this Shane” hit hard. Rick gave him every chance.
When Rick was giving up his gun you could tell shane didn't have it in him to kill rick
He wanted rick to kill him. He knew rick was soft and wouldn’t make it so he had to make a sacrifice and make him stronger to keep everyone safe even if it cost him his life.
@@Wolf-md2ui Shane didn't want Rick to kill him he only cared about Lori and Carl and would try and survive to see Judith
If he didn’t kill him he was gonna put Rick in harms way again and again until it stuck

Rick manipulates Shane quite similarly to how he manipulated Negan later on. Whatever it takes ig
No, If I was Rich, I don't want to change. Keep my mind close to neutralize as much as possible like Rick. I don't think he can manipulate, even Negan know Rick can't actually believe him as much. Negan had said it with his mouth,

@@MEDICUS729 they both were. Lol
sometimes i wish they kept shane sane cause he was the only guy rick really knew fully while the apocolipse was happenin
Rick was trying so hard to keep the monster chained, killing Shane broke one of the chains and the monster started to slowly break free.
Shane was one of the best characters. It's a shame Lori screwed his mind up telling him to stay when he was leaving
Shane was messed up already, but Lori didn't help things. It was 'I don't know who's baby this is' that pushed him over the edge.
I always felt like Shane wanted Rick to kill him because he couldn't live with what he had become after killing Otis. Plus the manipulation Lori was doing to both of them pitted them against each other. Lori wanted one gone because of her own guilt.
I think she actually wanted the oposite. Apocalypsis and pregnant with a child, better two men to take care of her than one. Not love but survival.
Shane was ahead of his time in terms of mentality, but it’s still psychotic and irrational behavior. Might’ve been a better survivalist at the time, but he certainly wasn’t level headed enough to make the decisive, challenging decisions necessary to keep the entire group alive
“We don’t kill the living”

That,s was before living tries to kill us
This would be a terrible moment for any man. The death of brotherhood.
Shane should've listened to uncle Chael.
“I can’t let you get close.”

Shane went nuts once he was told he wouldn’t be in his child’s life
In the comics it's actually Carl who kills Shane.
He did here too Rick put down Shane Carl put down the Reanimated Shane and Shane was supposed to walk towards Rick growling Rick’s name as a walker cause Jon Bernthal wanted Shane to be the first walker to speak to Rick this scene was well portrayed wish we got to see Shane haunt Rick as a walker for a couple seconds cause that would of been a nice little attention to detail that shows why They’re friendship was turning into a rivalry and taking a dark turn this is a conclusion of a difficult choice of Ricks life they truly were brothers in the original script the gun had no bullets Shane just wanted to be put out of his misery.

For me, this was the saddest moment in the walking dead. The fact that Shane kept Rick Alive only for him to have to kill him later. His own brother by bond though not by blood. The vicissitudes of fate are often fucked up.
This moment is so much better in the comic in my opinion. Rick was never going to kill Shane. Up until the moment Carl killed Shane, Rick never planned on killing Shane and would've died if Shane really willed it. It's such a big character choice for this to be a planned betrayal rather than a final attempt to save his friend. Its a big difference between comic Rick and show Rick.
In the show there are some people who are "too far gone". That have no possible way for redemption (the governor, the flower girl
, etc) Rick saw that in Shane so he killed him because he was a threat to everyone. (Just like Carol the flower girl)
@@Cichyhub it's a big decision as a human being to decide and kill your best friend for any reason. In the show, he's ruthless. Knows what he needs to do and does it. He's a killer. At this point in the comic, he's unsure of what the world is becoming and what he needs to be in order to survive in it. He wanted more than anything for his friend to turn back to him, and was willing to die for it. He was willing to die for the hope that everyone could still be decent. Shane would have killed him if Carl hadnt stepped in and saved Rick... And that's when Rick learns he needs to be more to protect the ones he loves. It humanizes him more than the betrayal in the show in my opinion.
i can’t agree with that, this comment made me go read my first addition from start to finish and i still don’t see how it’s better? please explain i feel like the comic book version didn’t use the character enough, from the beginning it’s like he was supposed to be hated but in the show he becomes horrible overtime
@@provoked-_- I think you misunderstood? I'm not talking about Shane's character
@@provoked-_- I'm also talking about conversations Rick has later on about the situation in later volumes.

This scene is literally Rick and Negan later. He pulled the lets talk it out so I can stab you card on both of em.
The punisher would have taken that stab with some cereals in the morning.
The punisher solos the whole verse. He's like that guy from the DD spinoff
If they agreed that Lori was the problem, Rick and Shane would hace been an unstoppable force
With all that has happened in TWD all the great moments.. this is the one that will forever in my opinion sit at the top.

"MY CHILDREN CALL YOU DADDY?" i liget Lmao 💀
I actually cried from this scene cause I felt his pain
Imagine if Lori wasn't around. Shane would have been there for flights he was ABSOLUTELY needed for. He probably would have been killed by Negan over Abraham though.
More like story telling. I am sure his death was planned
They wouldn’t have even been in tht situation tbh
abraham is one of my favorite characters of the show.. you can tell abraham was ready, he was willing to die for everyone there so glenn or maggie could survive for there baby he was postured and standing strong.
@@heystara7318 yeah they would’ve. Shane would’ve went along with the plan to kill the saviors and the outcome would’ve been the same because Shane wasn’t smarter than Rick and Negan managed to outsmart Rick.
i agree, he's the one getting lucilled and of course glen...
I think Shane knew this would happen eventually, and I think he knew Rick needed that push to be stronger in order to survive
"Yeah, i remember him. I remember him every day."
Shane's actors version of what he wanted to happen was so much better
Rick didnt just kill him, shane wanted this for rick
When Shane says you come and "ruin everything" it reminds me of Spencer
“You, not May! You did this to us! You, not May!”😂😂😂
“I thought we worked this all out” the pain in his voice at the realization that he wasn’t his brother anymore
We needed Shane too. It s a shame the only person he taught before he died was andrea, and she became a badass for like a season.
Also Shane and Rick dou would’ve shat in negans mouth. The governor would’ve been too scared to try anything and would’ve befriended Shane’s group at the prison. They needed Woodbury in the long run, the people they encountered after the governor were so much more savage. They could’ve been one of the Allied groups in the end.
Man they fucked Andrea up in the show? She is my favorite character, I've never watched the show... in the comics she's a badass for a long ass time
@@emceehamma3693 they kill her like season 3-4, she just becomes this bad add and then dies
I think Shane decided to push Rick to the edge to let Rick feel that rightful anger. Notice how Shane only shot after Rick made his move
So much emotion in that "this was you not me" at the end
Shane and Lori were having an affair before the apocalypse. Rick didn't see it. Rick didn't see a lot of things.
What Shane was describing was exactly what Rick was hoping would happen. Shane just couldn’t get over himself.
Shane didn’t realize that Rick had already started to adjust to the new world
No matter what i will still love Shane, the most realistic character
You know this will break my heart when we play the new video game coming up, given the option for Shane to take ricks place
Lesson: don't leave your friend in a coma. Just shoot it!
This broke my heart so much.. omg.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
NEVER! Let him close the gap...you got the point...
That's an aspect that kills me. Shane was a cop! If anyone knows the importance of spacing it's him. He just lets Rick slowly close the distance. The same guy who was his bestfriend and fellow officers. Just doesn't compute.
He wasn't thinking straight. He was blinded by rage and wasn't thinking rationally. Rick picked up on that and took advantage of it.
