Keep him alive, and have him be the final villain of the show instead of Troy. Have Madison tackle with the fact that her former lover's son is now a major threat and she has to put aside her former feelings to save her group. It'd make more sense than Troy somehow surviving the dam explosion.
I would've liked to see Nick and Chris be different sides of the same coin. Two teenage boys who quickly adapt to the apocalypse in similar ways, but give more time for Chris to develop into the apathetic person he is by the end. Being a duality to Nick, and possibly showing what he could become
People hated him but i didn’t mind him. He’s actually a very realistic and dynamic character. I wouldn’t have liked the show as much if he wasn’t there. Wish he stayed longer
Having one of his own family killing him off due to him becoming more dangerous is a better end than what happened , especially if they had kept his character around for longer to show his mentality change in more detail
I find it very difficult to understand why the actor Cliff Curtis would leave a multiple years tv show for a couple of months of shooting in a big movie where he is not the main character. I remember Michael J Fox going from set to set on family ties to back to the future. Couldn’t they have done that?
Without the thought of “wasted potential” the deaths would be meaningless this is how you write and kill off a good character (haven’t seen show or watched video yet)
I've seen "Blow" a few times, and it wasn't until the last viewing that Cliff/Travis played "Escobar".... That being said, FTWD should have been a slower burn than what it was; the prime (S1-3) was wasted potential in that way.
When it comes to Chris there was so many avenues they could have taken with his character so that’s what I liked about his arc before they wasted it. He could either get a redemption arc or a pure villain arc and both would have been interesting to see too. It’s a shame we missed out.
I thought Kris had potential. He could had grown up to be the anti carl. I wanted to see him work with nick as a fighting duo, I think it would had been interesting seeing them on screen. both guys were almost similar, before walkers, nick was a loser and after walkers, it was kris being a disappointment, it could had worked.
I see Chris differently than most. I relate to his confusiom and attempt to ground his sense of justice, such as filming the protest in the begining. I think that he is an autistic Lizzie. And i say that being autistic and struggling very hard in my youth to understand and feeel any sort of belinging. Had he been my character I would have had his bond with Daniel Salazar grow. He tetyers him to reality and teaches him survival, but also shows kindness to him , relating to Chris losing his childhood like Daniel did but in a different way. Chris may have still killed the prick on the boat but Daniel would have scolded him and tried to teach him control. Madison would have worried about Chris' mental state and brought it up with Travis but comforted Chris. Because she of ALL people understands killing someone horrible out of anger. As Daniel teaches and bonds with Chris it stirs up his past but tries to keep it in check. But Chris starts to learn about Daniel's past bit by bit. He confesses at a dramatic point that he killed the man in the plane wreckage. That he begged him and it was horrible, but when the 'prick' egged him on he knew he could kill him because he had before, and he is wanted to. And it flashes to him killing the prick, as he pulls his gun to shoot him he sees the faces of those on the airplane, the man begging for death, the sickness, his mom being put down...the anger the pain and wanting to be strong. *Bang* Daniel keeps his secret at least for now, and tells him we will do better. Travis and Daniel have alot of tension between them because Travis doesnt want a torturer (or whatever he thinks Daniel is) influencing his son. And Daniel is angry at travis because his way confuses the boy, will make him weak and get him killed.. I dont know entirely where the story would go, but Daniel and Chris at some point would be seperated from the others and trying to survive on their own . (Maybe after the fire or some other big event.) Amd Travis would think he had failed his son and his son was dead. Chris was a charactrr that needed guidance and understanding and he got neither from all the strong people on that boat who should have stepped up. Hell even Madison could have bonded and infuenced him more....waste of potential is an understatement.
If they wrote him a bit differently, he definitely could've been the last villain. But the issues with FTWD is far more complex than one character, everything past season 3 is shit and wasted potential
Can you please do the WASTED Potential Of Ofelia In FTWD, she's another character that was wasted and could've been the Rosita of the show, her dying before seeing her father again was the worst way to go for her character with a lack of closure.
I'm currently halfway through season 3 and in the home stretch but everyone keeps saying everything after season 3 is garbage. But if there is one thing that I am certain of it is definitely that Chris was a wasted character. If you ask me I think Chris would be a vast majority of the teenage boys in the zombie apocalypse and definitely me if I lost my mother that early. I would be arrogant and definitely aggressive. It would have been cooler if he would have lived on and stay with his father all the way up until Travis's Canon death on the helicopter and that would have inspired Chris because no doubt Travis would have said something to him to make sure he would have kept on going even though he's not there anymore. Yes it's sad but it would have been a crucial part of Chris's character ark. We've all seen him be nothing but aggressive and with his father gone it would have been good to see him develop his father's moral compass and we would have seen a whole lot more of Travis inside of Chris. Just like Carl his mother died and she really couldn't live his normal teenager life because he was still getting treated like a kid by his father just like Rick was doing Carl. With how they were writing Chris I was genuinely thought he was going to be the coral of this series but I guess I was wrong 😞 AND I'M ALSO MORE UPSET BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE A RUTHLESS TRAVIS BUT THEY KILLED HIM ON THE HELICOPTER BEFORE HE GOT A CHANCE TO EVEN TOUCH DOWN AND MEET TROY😡 I WAS SO PISSED OFF BECAUSE WHY THE HELL WOULD THE WRITERS KILL OFF CHRIS IN THE FIRST PLACE FOR?! His death was literally for no reason and they could have just saved him for later.
Its true. Season 3 is the best and last season of the show. Season 4 becomes a new show with morgan as the main character. Season 3 was top tier walking dead content. As soon as the showrunner found his stride, he was replaced. This show had so much potential after Season 3, but you know AMC 😂
There’s a key moment in 2x7 “Shiva” that could’ve changed the entire trajectory of what would’ve happened to Chris’s Character. It’s when Nick finds Travis and Chris; and Nick try’s to help Travis, but Travis says Chris needs his father rn and takes back the Knife from Nick. I always felt that had Nick despite Travis‘s wishes decided to stay with the two that it could’ve been a great family dynamic story where Travis would still try to get through to Chris and Nick would be there as well as his Surrogate son who has gone through a similar downward Spiral with his past addiction and can relate to What Chris is going through. Also I think it would build upon those character moments of Chris and Nick bonding on the Abigail earlier in season 2 as Step Brothers. Now when it comes to those groups of guys I believe that story arc still happens but Nick is there too to save Chris when he leaves with them. The car crash scene doesn’t happen in the series of events but instead would replaced with the cartel highway scene instead. Brandon and Derek try to negotiate but then get shot leaving Nick and Chris to fend for themselves in the Wilderness and basically the rest of the storyline would continue with the standalone Nick episode but it would be a awesome episode of 2 brothers Struggling to survive in post apocalyptic Mexico Before Nick teaches Chris the walker guts trick And they both take out the cartel and end up getting found by Luciana and El Colonia.
I wouldn’t let him kill his dad just take his dad and show him what he’s been doing and his farther breaking him and than they attack his boss and the dad gets killed than Chris than tha guys that took Chris away from his father kills him
No that's not a wasted potential that's just a random teenager ... , I've seen a lot of characters like him ... Nothing special in him (+ the actor is not that good ) @@theohuntt
@@mirou1780 the premise of the character is intriguing, as he is Travis’s biological son but hates his step siblings and mum this had the potential to be an interesting storyline but I agree the writers made the character annoying, Hence he is wasted potential
Nah bruh.. He was more annoying than the dumb teens from World Beyond. More useless than Andrea's sister. More annoying than young Carl who just got the sheriff hat.
Keep him alive, and have him be the final villain of the show instead of Troy.
Have Madison tackle with the fact that her former lover's son is now a major threat and she has to put aside her former feelings to save her group.
It'd make more sense than Troy somehow surviving the dam explosion.
So true I haven’t seen past season 6 of the show but that sounds like a great ending!
If Troy can come back, so can Chris I mean if Troy can come back so can Travis
I was thinking the same damn thing, back when S8 was releasing
To be fair, the whole show past S3 is wasted potential
Very true I miss the Dave Erickson Period of Fear :(

I second this
People hated him but i didn’t mind him. He’s actually a very realistic and dynamic character. I wouldn’t have liked the show as much if he wasn’t there. Wish he stayed longer
Yeah he definitely was over hated I found him annoying but I wasn’t half as bad as fans made out
Having one of his own family killing him off due to him becoming more dangerous is a better end than what happened , especially if they had kept his character around for longer to show his mentality change in more detail
Nah you trippin. What they did in the show was fkn PERFECT. They just needed to expand and flesh Chris out a lil more
@@JesusLopez-cg2gq It was probably one of the worst ways I have ever seen
They did not have to kill him off. They just had to take the camera off him till he was back from his other job.
Imagine Chris Joins in with the Proctors and then alicia sees him at the trading post and the storyline that would have came there
I love that idea that would have been so much better than what they did!
Chris got way too much undeserved hate. He was a very complex character.
I find it very difficult to understand why the actor Cliff Curtis would leave a multiple years tv show for a couple of months of shooting in a big movie where he is not the main character.

He was the darth Vader who died on the desert planet instead of ruling with a bloody fist
He’s the villain we never got

Chris and Travis to me were like Anakin and Obi-Wan and there was no way to stop him from becoming Vader

I feel like he really acted like a teenager though. Which works, cause he’s a teenager. Def. Coulda done more with him though.

I actually forgot about him
Chris had mental problems, which were clear from the very beginning. The apocalypse just gave him a reason to let go.
He died in a story told by someone with reason to lie- this character isn’t dead
Chris was annoying as hell.
The wasted potential of the writers of this show
When did they start filming if they killed Travis for him to be in Avatar??
I am fine with them killing off Chris. The actor playing him was kinda terrible. Good video , thanks for putting it together.
I wouldn’t let him kill his dad just take his dad and show him what he’s been doing and his farther breaking him and than they attack his boss and the dad gets killed than Chris than tha guys that took Chris away from his father kills him
Yet with Nick gone where is Chris?
There is no wasted potential... He was very annoying , disrespectful , crazy , and very stupid
