    There’s so many potential ending episodes:
    5x11 - when the crew make it to Alexandria and Rick hears the voices of children playing
    6x9 - no way out, the final “fight” scene is amazing, perfect end to the arc
    8x16 - like you said
    9x5 - my personal favorite

    My mom and I loved TWD. I lived in a different state but we watched “together”. I would call her during commercial breaks screaming “Oh my God!!!!!” 🤣 She unexpectedly died at the start of season 7. It was hard to keep watching but I did. I rewatch the early seasons all the time and think about her. I still miss her so much. I love this show and I really enjoy your videos about it! 💚

    Honestly, all it would take is just a few key changes, first of all the cliffhanger at the end of S6, this could be easily fixed by killing off Abraham in the finale, and then Glenn in the premiere, then don't kill off Carl, duh, don't drag All Out War too much, i don't think anything could've been done about RIck's departure but if Carl was alive, it wouldn't be so badly, but yeah, if they just fixed a few key events like these, the show wouldn't have such a bad reputation now, even if they went on to do 11 seasons.

    One thing I’ve always liked about Carl’s death, is in the 1st episode of season 4 ‘30 Days Without An Incident” after Rick comes back to the prison after dealing with Clara the woman in the woods, Hershel says what is a very important line in my opinion. That line is Rick says something along the lines of: “if I lost Carl, Judith, this place. I’d probably end up like her.” And Hershel responds “not even then, Rick.” So to me, that one line, perfectly set up Carl’s death later on, showing that Rick could overcome even the worst thing that could possibly happen to him. That’s why I think Carl’s death worked…but only if the show ended with season 8. It would have been very poetic if the show ended in season 8. But by it going on…by it going on without Rick AND Carl, Carl’s death doesn’t work and the show doesn’t work. The franchise has completely gone down hill unfortunately. The only thing I can think of saving it, is one last big collab show, where what Major General guy from The Ones Who Live said about the “human civilization only has 14 years left on this earth, due to lack of resources” actually being true, and everyone on earth completely unites and solves a way around that, ending the walkers completely.

    • @theohuntt
      @theohuntt  3 дні тому

      Thank you for the insight i didn’t know about that Hershel line it’s very interesting, I totally agree with you. What I think they should have done is set up the CRM in season in season 1 of TOWL and have a season 2 where the whole cast come together to defeat the CRM with Morgan coming back Daryl and Rick reuniting and all the others take down the CRM over the course of 6 episodes rather than what actually happened in TOWL where Rick and michonne take about the entire army in 20 mins 💀😭

    To me the show would have had a great ending on no way out. Alexandria finally takes ricks as their leader and fights alongside him, rick’s talk with Carl about the future being his, and the screen fades to black as soon as Carl’s hand moves.

      Robert Kirkman actually said in an interview that he almost ended the comics after No Way Out. There would have been a big flash forward to the future showing an abandoned Alexandria with a giant Rick Grimes statue. Another ending he considered was when the group first arrives to Alexandria and finally finds a place where they will be safe.

    Great video bro! I personally loved the walking dead from beginning to end, sure the story’s weren’t as peak as earlier on, but I still enjoyed it soo much. It’s such a different show than others it’s crazy. Ending it at S8 would’ve been good but I’m greatful we got more, S9 Btw is really underrated.

    Im one of those people who absolutely thinks Wrath should have been the final episode. And agree whole heartedly it would have made certain producer decisions like Carls death largely forgivable. The show, for all intents and purposes, was Ricks story. Didnt need to go beyond that. Or if it did, gamble on a series that is completely seperated from the main show and explore other ideas, dynamics and locations. Like Fear was until it wasn't

    I just recently finished the walking dead a couple days ago and my opinion is that the walking dead should’ve ended with Rick blowing up the bridge. Rick should’ve died on the bridge as he says “I’ve found them” or something like that. It would nicely wrap up Rick’s story of him finding his family.

  • @deecawford
    @deecawford 3 дні тому

    I think the dream scenes from being the saviors should have been the end. Carl is dead, rick rebuilds the communities and faith within people and it shows. Even Negan is helping and playing with Jude. Perfect place. You can rewatch the entire series and stop with beating the saviors, pickup again at season 9.6 or whenever the new folks like Kelly and Connie show up and be completely up to it. So many filler episodes were junk and left us nothing not even a clue.

    What I always loved about TWD is the ideas it presents. It kinda makes the argument that those classic George A. Romero movies did, where you could argue things are better this way. I think there's a scene in season 11 when they're in the tunnels, and Maggie finds an old protest sign that says stop racism now, and at that point racism is pretty much nonexistent and it's just one example of how the world before wasn't perfect either.

    Great video as always, my dude. The walking dead will always hold a dear place in my heart and it's really sad to see the way the show is treated, lmao. I do agree with you that an animated series would be nice, but I really hope that Scott Gimple doesn't get to write it. Also, world beyond sucked. It took me a while to watch the first season (because it was so boring), and when I finally finished that crap, I discovered that it had a second season. Like, how??? That's some money laundering kind of shit, no one liked world beyond that much to justify a second season.

Add in Mutant zombies and acid zombies. What's the next spin off? In UK the zombies run really fast and turn you into one of them within 30 seconds?? In China..what?Jiangshi zombies? Lol. What? In South Korea the zombies can't see in the darkness? Spin off in Australia the walker dip their heads in the dirt?

      Fun story. I watched fear on a tv while I was living in a cheap motel. Got all the way til season 2 episode like 6 or 7. Years later I am telling my wife we need to buy the dvd sets (as we were buying twd's anyway). Honestly I was HEAVILY disappointed in FTWD where I finally got caught up. I think it was chris that kinda ruined it but was hoping for a redemption arc... yeah oh well. And then my boy travis died which made me really not like the show but season 4 was 100% my final straw. Sold or threw away the dvds. Show was good in the first season and most of the first half of the second season was good the rest was falling off imo.

    7:45 it's at this point in the video where i feel like you lose sight of the franchise and the significance of timing. Every story starts somewhere. TWD and Rick's story of survival began in 2003. World Beyond was 10 years into a TV adaptation's story. When watching the TV canon, keep in mind that you're not speaking to MCU or Star Wars fans. From Days Gone By until the final second we spend watching the canon on a screen, we're watching the spin off. There's a story beneath the one in continuation. Some of you TWD youtubers fail to see that

Just because there’s a story behind each one doesn’t make it a good or an enjoyable one.

    Imo there isn't really marvel or star wars fatigue. Just shit movies and shows, sometimes there are one or two good projects but both went HEAVILY downhill. That's why rewatching the early seasons of twd, the early movies of the MCU and the first 6 movies of star wars doesn't really get boring. It's just what came after for all of them has ruined some of what came before or just ruined the series anyway.
