Hey, no problem at all! Keep up the great work! All I can say when I make a mistake on a vid is go "eh, learn from this and make the next one better!" You can do this man!
The walking dead seemed so realistic in the first few seassons. But I feel like at some point the writers were like "Does it matter what we write? They are already hooked completly!"
You’re definitely not wrong. That being said there are some things to still take away and enjoy from the franchise, specifically the new spin-offs, which have been pretty solid overall.
right, that’s what made it so fascinating and downright terrifying. It seemed like something that could actually happen. Wish they had kept it that way. Then they bring back a much missed character looooonnng after we had lost interest
Imagine finally getting used to the dead and how to deal with them, getting walls up, growing crops and thinking "life goes on, this ain't so bad" only for a nut job to bring down a nuke😂
The main problem with the Nuke Arc is that its not possible. The Pennsylvania wasn't capable of launching it's missiles. First of all, the ship was beached far from the water, which would have required a massive storm surge that would have had to severally damaged the sub and almost certainly knocked its weapons offline. However, launching a ballistic missile require the launch tubes to be submerged..
There's dead people walking around. Their universe does not have to conform to reality. Fiction is fiction for a reason. Expecting reality from is silly.

It actually makes sense for the radiation to dissipate. Fallout is the radioactive particles that have been vaporized( glass, concrete,dust, other parts of people) and thrown up into the atmosphere by the bomb. Once all of that settles or falls into the ocean. The area would be perfectly safe to walk around. In fact, after dropping our nuclear test bombs out in the desert, 1945, United States military personnel were able to walk around the area in less than a month. Of course they couldn't spend too long there. But yeah within a few years the place would be completely livable. People live in Hiroshima and nakizaki today.
There’s still radiation present in Japan after the nuclear bombs. When buying green tea there’s issues of where it’s grown because radiation is present in matcha people buy
@@Someth1ngLight are you sure that radiation isn't from the Fukushima plant.... the nuclear plant that went critical less than like 10 years ago? Not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying Nagasaki and Hiroshima are still large and livable cities today. Radioactive fallout from nuclear bombs is all dependent on how high up it's detonated and what type of nuclear bomb it is. Radioactive fallout from a nuclear power plant will last much much longer, cuz we are dealing with much more stable Isotopes. Whereas the elements used in nuclear bombs have much much shorter half lives. That's why it's actually really easy to make a nuclear bomb, it's just really, really hard to get the materials. Cuz not only do you have to have the materials to make a nuclear reactor. But then you have to take those radioactive materials and enrich them to a point where they are incredibly unstable. And only one hit from another unstable element can lead to a chain reaction. This instability causes them to dissipate at much faster rates than radiation from a nuclear disaster from the power plant.
@@MASTEROFEVIL but it didn't take 70 years for people to start living their, or for radiation levels to drop to normal. Within a week it was 1/1,000,000th the amount of what you'd receive during the explosion
It has been confirmed by the showrunners that Alicia did in fact get in infected from the bite, and that she was able to recover from the infection (after a long period of illness) due to her absorbing a lot of radiation from the blood of one of the radioactive walkers earlier. As we can see in S8 of FEAR, radiation therapy does technically work against the zombie infection, but in (almost) every case the amount of radiation needed would also kill the person you're trying to cure
I feel like people have a drastic misunderstanding of nuclear weapons. They aren't explosions or effects the size of states... they are approximately the size of a medium city. It's idiotic to portray them as making multiple states unlivable. They don't have that level of effect...
@@josefmengele181 This type of bomb is not used, there is no news of such a weapon existing, because in a conflict the time for you, to rehabilitate the area and occupy it is important. In two years the central area of the explosion is already safe , including for reconstruction The nuclear mass of a hydrogen bomb is small, there are kg of nuclear material, to be spread over hundreds to thousands of km2 in the atmosphere.

I really enjoyed the Teddy storyline. He was a significant villain and incredibly interesting to watch. Unfortunately, the show completely jumped the shark and never, ever recovered.
One thing I hated about the show was nice and caring people die and the wicked people lived and got worse especially with that Alice want to be main girl and Victor I hated them oh and lame ass morgan who caused more deaths in twd and this show
You're not sacrificing honor by planting evidence to secure a conviction for a person you know for a 100% fact is guilty. These scenarios are quite literally a game of chess. There WILL be a winner and there WILL be a loser. It's not a thing of "the justice system will succeed if we just try hard enough" no, there are scenarios that if teddy played his cards right, which he did, he would never legally be able to be caught. That is why the ONLY, the literal ONLY option would have been to plant evidence. That's not sacrificing honor, that's reinforcing it by doing what needs to be done. We saw a similar situation in our own history with Ken Rex Mcelroy where the justice system had failed over and over and over until eventually the citizens took matters into their own hands and did what needed to be done. You earn your honor by doing that. Making the hard choices. That's where honor comes from.
Yes but from johns perspective, he absolutely did, regardless of how you or me see it. He felt such shame that he turned to alcohol, abandoned his family, and the career he built for years. If that’s not a sign of a man who feels he’s lost his honour, idk what is.
Probably fairly well. They'd be screwed out of some major supplies, but low population density and good amount of guns and lots of nature to take advantage off could be very beneficial. One thing to consider though, is the danger of trying to traverse deep snow with dormant walkers buried down in it. Can imagine trying to wade through 5 feet of snow and getting grabbed by a buried frozen Walker.
@@EmXena315 Wouldn't the temperature essentially make the walkers completely immobile? They wouldn't die or feel it obviously but the cold should still affect them the same way it would a living person. Especially considering walkers are usually already decomposed which would make them more easy to freeze.
@@gagetaylor192 In Season 9 of the show, there is snow on the ground, and some walkers are appeared to be affected. Some of them completely frozen and unable to move, although still being "undead", and not fully dead.
I discovered your Chanel a few days ago, and I gotta say keep up the good work my guy your content is really well made and informative your now one of my favourite TWD UA-camrs out there✌️
I've met Nick Stahl (Riley), and John Glover (Teddy) at a convention in New Orleans, in 2020. And before anyone says that's not possible, due to the pandemic, Louisiana didn't shut down from the pandemic, until March. The convention was in January (the first weekend). Both were nice people. John grew up in my home state, which I thought was cool.
He eventually did find peace while not exactly in the bunker he was able to move past his obsession to save june from the stalkers and then once back inside the bunker found the last victim that was haunting him before get rescued by victors men after the bunker collapsed
@@xICEx_wolf then he proceeded to work for Victor in the hopes that he could make a difference. Then he realized he couldn't and tried to make a desperate escape. That escape failed and he was eaten alive. Even if he DID get the baby out.
So, is it EVER explained how the Submarine wound up in the middle of a desert, nowhere near the ocean? Like, I know the tides rise and fall, but I don't remember them ever falling THAT much.
Knowing the Walking Dead, I'm honestly surprised that they didn't try to pull some dumbass "for some reason the zombies were unaffected by the nuke" garbage.
To be honest, I didn’t watch this part of Fear The Walking Dead. I appreciate you explaining this story. Fear had its moments I’ll say that for sure lol but it was nice listening to this. It would be nice to hear a reference of the nuke in The Ones Who Live but we’ll have to wait
It’s sad what happened to The Walking Dead universe/franchise. I stopped watching The Walking Dead after they killed off Carl and I couldn’t get past season two of fear. It seems the writers don’t give a shit and it’s just crap what they’re making but if the brain dead mass is like it have at it…..
Saw your video on the CRM, I’ve seen every piece of twd content nearly and didn’t know half of it. Also could barely bring myself to rewatch the last few seasons of fear for the teddy storyline. Earned a sub
The actress that plays Alicia is so outrageously beautiful it's just unsettling. Like im not being creepy about this, her face is just TOO perfect, at all angles at all times, it's ridiculous that a human can just be born with the right genetics to turn out with a face like that. Genuinely it's distracting, just like,,, whoa how is that possible?
Teddy works because he has intrinsic traits which are found throughout history in others like him who enthrall those who have lost value and faith in their place within society. Hearing the charismatic well-spoken words of someone who can offer you both tangible and philosophical hope for something better would be hard to resist especially in an already apocalyptic setting such as this. Then you find out he's just another Jim Jones who didn't drink the fruit punch.
☆☆☆☆☆@Ty swell☆☆☆☆☆ I want to say thank you. Thank you for making such great walking dead story arc videos. Ive watched everyone of them over the last couple days and they are magnificent! As someone who has been watching faithfuly since episode#1 all those years ago, and has watched the series and spin-offs in their entirety at least 4 times throughout the years, I absolutely loved these vids! This has been an entertaining trip down memory lane for sure. To re-live some of my favorite story arcs in the way you've put them together has been an entertaining viewing experience! I know its hard work but please man, keep making these for all significant story arcs in TWD universe. Id love to see you weave some arcs together between shows and tell the larger overarching story between them while filling in time jumps. I do not usually leave comments complementing the channel creator of vids like this, but in this case I absolutely had to give you your flowers. 👏 👏 WELL DONE! Youve done something really great here! I've liked your vids and subscribed to your channel. I will recomend your channel and vids. I'll also share them in the appropriate places to try and drive some views and subs your way. Thanks again man!
Here’s something. Carol took over a large city with its own militairy right after the fall of the outer areas. Its said in the new season that omaha fell but the video only showed buildings on the outskirts. Also rick and michone seem to know nothing outside of where they are now.
so what about north Texas ? like Dallas and Ok boarder ? there are a lot of lakes and farm land up there. Also I guess the writers didnt do any research on how fall out works . if that many Bombs " shown on the map" went off more than just Tx would be unlivable. Also there are 3 Nuclear power plants in Tx that are pretty big.. I would say making one of those exploded would have been a better story line.
Nuclear plants, even on Chernobyl scale failure, wouldn’t cause that much of an issue (at least American ones that is). It’s actually really cool just how safe those things are. It’s absurd, but entirely understandable lol
Not just nuclear power plants. We’ve got chemical plants all along the coast making things that would curl your hair to know about, all surrounded by residential neighborhoods. And a lot of those chemicals need temperature controlled storage. The Texas coastline would have gone up long before the Fear crew got there.
The first few seasons of Fear The Walking Dead were amazing. I thought it was superior to the original. It started to get "a little bit off" after the destruction of the dam and the events in the west Texas border enclave of survivalist families, but it was still decent enough. Frankly, though, once Morgan showed up, the writers just started throwing darts at words written on a wall.
Teddy is by far a top 5 villain right behind names like The Governor and Negan. With a little bit better writing and directing Teddy couldve been a Grade A+ TWD Villain
A doomsday cult not being able to handle humanity coming back from the brink and wanting it all to burn again isn't a bad idea. It's just implemented really stupidly.
Nick Stahl (Riley) is *SUCH* a phenomenal actor. His performance in the "SIN CITY'" motion picture as the titular character of "That Yellow Bastard", alone can stand as a testament to his acting prowess... But his role as "Bobby Kent" in the masterpiece of evil within the True-Crime Horror Film "BULLY" (2001) directed by Larry Clark (Best know for directing 1995's "Kids") and he nails it (as can be said of everyone in that film adaptation).... But if you want to watch ANY of the films I've mentioned??? BE WARNED- they are insanely disturbing and may be extremely traumatic for the thin-skinned (easily offended/emotionally wounded) in it's explicitly graphic and intense themes of violence, ab*se, drug use, murder, & r@p3).... However if you can handle all that in exchange to witness pure visceraly raw, borderline crude/lewd, works of art unprecidented quality cinema
@@Swell-Films right as a sailor in the Navy, you said he was a Marine. I'm just getting clarification I'm not as familiar with fear twd yet about to buy the DVD set and binge lol. Love the channel btw.

@@Swell-Films well I am quite familiar since I've been in both Army and Marine ROTC, Marine corps is a department of the navy but still very different. I was just trying not to be rude in correcting you lol.
The potential in the slowly developing nation and city states after a zombie apocalypse is really interesting and cool, where old world tech continues to change the landscape. Texas being irradiated, LA being coated in chemicals from the US militaries dying breath as cities that avoided those attacks fortified not just held a couple thousand but hundreds of thousands developing their own cultures is so damn interesting. All super cool. I love the idea of the flag representing three fortresses linked together. But damn is the writing weird. Its almost like the speculative fiction and fanfiction is more interesting than the actual content at this point. Kinda makes me feel like its World War Z (The book ofc) and Fallout had a baby. Maybe we should just have an official history book set like 50 years later or something.
Ya bro it makes no sense in the show the cop who planted evidence to feel so guilty he would ruin his own life. Why the guilt if he was certain the guy he put away was a serial killer? It doesnt make sense.
This season i was like.. wait so.. why didn't they just leave. Like they continued to stay there even after the bomb went off. Like there's no way right?. How is this even possible?
Thank you for the synopsis it makes me thankful that I didn’t go on to the rest of the seasons after season three. That would’ve been such a waste of time.
I need a list of when to abandon Walking Dead series. People here seem to agree that the nuke was the point they stopped on Fear the Walking Dead. I stopped TWD after Tyresse had his arm amputated and then Rick (who would have had basic EMS training as a deputy) didn't bother trying to make a tourniquet, letting Tyreese bleed to death for no reason.
Correction - Riley was a Sailor not a Marine, thank you to those that pointed this out.

One thing I hated about the show was nice and caring people die and the wicked people lived and got worse especially with that Alice want to be main girl and Victor I hated them oh and lame ass morgan who caused more deaths in twd and this show
@@Mikhail210 I never understood why anyone thought Morgan was a good character. He was good in TWD pilot, but ever other appearance was just terrible.
I think teddy was the walking dead's own charles manson
Yeah the writers probably wanted Charles Manson like cult leader in fear the walking dead
that makes sense, never watched it but his character def gives that vibe!
Na they played farcry 5 and thought hey it the in thing now
@@Mikhail210 PREPARE FOR THE REAPINGGGG
You're not sacrificing honor by planting evidence to secure a conviction for a person you know for a 100% fact is guilty. These scenarios are quite literally a game of chess. There WILL be a winner and there WILL be a loser. It's not a thing of "the justice system will succeed if we just try hard enough" no, there are scenarios that if teddy played his cards right, which he did, he would never legally be able to be caught. That is why the ONLY, the literal ONLY option would have been to plant evidence. That's not sacrificing honor, that's reinforcing it by doing what needs to be done. We saw a similar situation in our own history with Ken Rex Mcelroy where the justice system had failed over and over and over until eventually the citizens took matters into their own hands and did what needed to be done. You earn your honor by doing that. Making the hard choices. That's where honor comes from.
Yes but from johns perspective, he absolutely did, regardless of how you or me see it.
He felt such shame that he turned to alcohol, abandoned his family, and the career he built for years.
If that’s not a sign of a man who feels he’s lost his honour, idk what is.
Sometimes I wonder how the small towns in Alaska are doing while the rest of the US does his thing
Probably fairly well. They'd be screwed out of some major supplies, but low population density and good amount of guns and lots of nature to take advantage off could be very beneficial. One thing to consider though, is the danger of trying to traverse deep snow with dormant walkers buried down in it. Can imagine trying to wade through 5 feet of snow and getting grabbed by a buried frozen Walker.
They would freeze to death
@@EmXena315 Wouldn't the temperature essentially make the walkers completely immobile? They wouldn't die or feel it obviously but the cold should still affect them the same way it would a living person. Especially considering walkers are usually already decomposed which would make them more easy to freeze.
@@gagetaylor192 In Season 9 of the show, there is snow on the ground, and some walkers are appeared to be affected. Some of them completely frozen and unable to move, although still being "undead", and not fully dead.
Yo I thought teddy was chill bruh 💀💀💀
I discovered your Chanel a few days ago, and I gotta say keep up the good work my guy your content is really well made and informative your now one of my favourite TWD UA-camrs out there✌️
Thanks so much mate! Appreciate the support!
0:22 That episode intro makes me think of me of Far Cry 5.
Great job putting this together. I know it must have been painful narrating this based off the series writers poor vision.
It very much was haha. I appreciate it!
this video was great, underrated content creator
Thanks mate!
I've met Nick Stahl (Riley), and John Glover (Teddy) at a convention in New Orleans, in 2020. And before anyone says that's not possible, due to the pandemic, Louisiana didn't shut down from the pandemic, until March. The convention was in January (the first weekend). Both were nice people. John grew up in my home state, which I thought was cool.
i remember this show was about surviving the apocalypse
John dorie Sr Did NOT find peace lol. He actually started to get worse trapped in teddys bunker
He eventually did find peace while not exactly in the bunker he was able to move past his obsession to save june from the stalkers and then once back inside the bunker found the last victim that was haunting him before get rescued by victors men after the bunker collapsed
@@xICEx_wolf then he proceeded to work for Victor in the hopes that he could make a difference. Then he realized he couldn't and tried to make a desperate escape.
That escape failed and he was eaten alive. Even if he DID get the baby out.
So, is it EVER explained how the Submarine wound up in the middle of a desert, nowhere near the ocean? Like, I know the tides rise and fall, but I don't remember them ever falling THAT much.
It's in the webisodes
Last time I checked, Galveston was no where near a desert. It is on the Gulf coast of Texas. Did you know that some beaches have sand?
The first season of the walking dead was so good what the hell happened...
16:01 my city got hit by the Nuke am from Port Arthur
I used to do jobs in Port Arthur. I loved eating at the Hamburger Depot and La vaquita
@@Jescon96my dad was in Port Arthur in 2010
Knowing the Walking Dead, I'm honestly surprised that they didn't try to pull some dumbass "for some reason the zombies were unaffected by the nuke" garbage.
The plot holes are so wild
Not every character survived the fallout. (Which is disappinting since most of them just disapeared afterwards amyways)
It can't be spring if your heart is filled with past failures.
Those radiation cones at 16:02 need to fan out a little bit more.
Its more of a 30 to 45 degree cone depending on the size of the nuke.
To be honest, I didn’t watch this part of Fear The Walking Dead. I appreciate you explaining this story. Fear had its moments I’ll say that for sure lol but it was nice listening to this. It would be nice to hear a reference of the nuke in The Ones Who Live but we’ll have to wait
They already did mention it retrd😂go watch lol
When did they mention it then huh?😂 at least give the information before insulting someone lol
It’s sad what happened to The Walking Dead universe/franchise. I stopped watching The Walking Dead after they killed off Carl and I couldn’t get past season two of fear. It seems the writers don’t give a shit and it’s just crap what they’re making but if the brain dead mass is like it have at it…..
Texas becoming new vegas lol
There was a missed chance to call the exodus from Texas the Texodus, but great video either way!
Haha shit you’re so right
It seems like they had so much time to move around while the missile was just flying around in space waiting for the perfect moment to detonate.
I missed a lot of this part of the show, thanks for filling in the blanks. Yes, I can rewatch, but I don't want to.
Saw your video on the CRM, I’ve seen every piece of twd content nearly and didn’t know half of it. Also could barely bring myself to rewatch the last few seasons of fear for the teddy storyline. Earned a sub
Really liking your videos and style, really cool to see for the World of TWD. Thanks!
Thanks mate! I appreciate that
John Glover! He's come a long way since destroying the Earth in the Twilight Zone because we misunderstood "A Small Talent For War".
Idea for next video: full explanation of the variants, Genet's group, the Primrose and Violet teams and the creation of the virus 🔥
Are you psychic? I’m literally writing that as we speak lol
@@Swell-Films damnnnn bro can't fuckin wait 🔥
One of my fav swell films video to date and I hate fear 🔥🔥🔥
Don’t we all 💀
I didn't watch any of the Dead in the water episodes...so thanks for doing this video, very informative 😁
I really like Victor, his character is very unusual. The true manipulator and he changes sides to the winning one during wars and interactions.
And ut also has a great actor behind it. Oscar Nominee Colman Domingo!
The fact nuclear radiation only stays for around two weeks or a month or two 😭
Shame they couldn't figure out a way to clear the walkers from the sub.
A perfect vehicle for survival
The actress that plays Alicia is so outrageously beautiful it's just unsettling. Like im not being creepy about this, her face is just TOO perfect, at all angles at all times, it's ridiculous that a human can just be born with the right genetics to turn out with a face like that. Genuinely it's distracting, just like,,, whoa how is that possible?
She gyatt 🎂
You're being a simp. But her cheeks are phat. So I don't blame you.
*MODERN NUCLEAR WEAPONS DON'T HAVE FALLOUT RADIATION*

patrolling texas almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
Well done 👏🏽
Lmao thats not how nukes work at all
it’s the walking dead what’d you expect lmao
@@thick_shady420 I had low expectations and they still managed to undershoot
Teddy works because he has intrinsic traits which are found throughout history in others like him who enthrall those who have lost value and faith in their place within society.
Hearing the charismatic well-spoken words of someone who can offer you both tangible and philosophical hope for something better would be hard to resist especially in an already apocalyptic setting such as this.
Then you find out he's just another Jim Jones who didn't drink the fruit punch.
Austin still seems cool. I bet they didn’t even notice
Seems like the love child of Manson and Bundy.
Man who let Asmongold out of his cell
"Teddy" reminds me ALOT of Ted Kazcynsky
These videos show how much I need to catch up on 😂
Teddy on that "The Fate of Destruction is also the Joy of Rebirth" grindset
13:27 You realize how big Texas is? It would take lots of nukes to stop make it uninhabitable.
Bro watching this video was way more entertaining than watching those seasons 😂
☆☆☆☆☆@Ty swell☆☆☆☆☆
I want to say thank you. Thank you for making such great walking dead story arc videos. Ive watched everyone of them over the last couple days and they are magnificent! As someone who has been watching faithfuly since episode#1 all those years ago, and has watched the series and spin-offs in their entirety at least 4 times throughout the years, I absolutely loved these vids! This has been an entertaining trip down memory lane for sure. To re-live some of my favorite story arcs in the way you've put them together has been an entertaining viewing experience! I know its hard work but please man, keep making these for all significant story arcs in TWD universe. Id love to see you weave some arcs together between shows and tell the larger overarching story between them while filling in time jumps. I do not usually leave comments complementing the channel creator of vids like this, but in this case I absolutely had to give you your flowers. 👏 👏 WELL DONE! Youve done something really great here! I've liked your vids and subscribed to your channel. I will recomend your channel and vids. I'll also share them in the appropriate places to try and drive some views and subs your way. Thanks again man!
AGREED! 👏
TLDR: mad-man cult leader turns texas into the glowing sea
Now im glad i live in the western part near the panhandle.
The more of these video explanations I watch make me incredibly glad I never watched the series.
Am I the only one who thinks that the name Teddy is a reference to Ted Kaczyński?
No
The Walking Dead is literally just Fallout but with WAY more existential horror and Blood Meridian references.
Here’s something. Carol took over a large city with its own militairy right after the fall of the outer areas. Its said in the new season that omaha fell but the video only showed buildings on the outskirts. Also rick and michone seem to know nothing outside of where they are now.
so what about north Texas ? like Dallas and Ok boarder ? there are a lot of lakes and farm land up there. Also I guess the writers didnt do any research on how fall out works . if that many Bombs " shown on the map" went off more than just Tx would be unlivable. Also there are 3 Nuclear power plants in Tx that are pretty big.. I would say making one of those exploded would have been a better story line.
Nuclear plants, even on Chernobyl scale failure, wouldn’t cause that much of an issue (at least American ones that is).
It’s actually really cool just how safe those things are. It’s absurd, but entirely understandable lol
Not just nuclear power plants. We’ve got chemical plants all along the coast making things that would curl your hair to know about, all surrounded by residential neighborhoods. And a lot of those chemicals need temperature controlled storage. The Texas coastline would have gone up long before the Fear crew got there.
0:53 ngl that headline is good 😂
Lawton OK looks better after a zombie apocalypse than it did when I was stationed there
If u cut out ur “wtf moments” u could convince people fear was actually good 😂
The first few seasons of Fear The Walking Dead were amazing. I thought it was superior to the original. It started to get "a little bit off" after the destruction of the dam and the events in the west Texas border enclave of survivalist families, but it was still decent enough. Frankly, though, once Morgan showed up, the writers just started throwing darts at words written on a wall.
Victor Strand still sounds 100% like a DC Comics character. 😂😂
Teddy is by far a top 5 villain right behind names like The Governor and Negan. With a little bit better writing and directing Teddy couldve been a Grade A+ TWD Villain
It appears Austin was unscathed
A doomsday cult not being able to handle humanity coming back from the brink and wanting it all to burn again isn't a bad idea. It's just implemented really stupidly.
"Our story starts in 1970"
Am I watching the right Walking Dead as you?
Riley Was NOT A US Marine , He was A Navy Lieutenant ...
Nick Stahl (Riley) is *SUCH* a phenomenal actor. His performance in the "SIN CITY'" motion picture as the titular character of "That Yellow Bastard", alone can stand as a testament to his acting prowess... But his role as "Bobby Kent" in the masterpiece of evil within the True-Crime Horror Film "BULLY" (2001) directed by Larry Clark (Best know for directing 1995's "Kids") and he nails it (as can be said of everyone in that film adaptation).... But if you want to watch ANY of the films I've mentioned??? BE WARNED- they are insanely disturbing and may be extremely traumatic for the thin-skinned (easily offended/emotionally wounded) in it's explicitly graphic and intense themes of violence, ab*se, drug use, murder, & r@p3).... However if you can handle all that in exchange to witness pure visceraly raw, borderline crude/lewd, works of art unprecidented quality cinema
Wasnt Riley a sailor in the Navy not a Marine?
Riley served as a lieutenant and weapons officer
@@Swell-Films right as a sailor in the Navy, you said he was a Marine. I'm just getting clarification I'm not as familiar with fear twd yet about to buy the DVD set and binge lol. Love the channel btw.
@@mortem-tyrannislol thank you, you could be right I might be mistaken.
I’m not very familiar with the American navy as I’m Canadian, but I try my best lol
@@Swell-Films well I am quite familiar since I've been in both Army and Marine ROTC, Marine corps is a department of the navy but still very different. I was just trying not to be rude in correcting you lol.
@@mortem-tyrannis well I appreciate it, tbh the ranks still confuse me even after researching
The potential in the slowly developing nation and city states after a zombie apocalypse is really interesting and cool, where old world tech continues to change the landscape. Texas being irradiated, LA being coated in chemicals from the US militaries dying breath as cities that avoided those attacks fortified not just held a couple thousand but hundreds of thousands developing their own cultures is so damn interesting. All super cool. I love the idea of the flag representing three fortresses linked together. But damn is the writing weird. Its almost like the speculative fiction and fanfiction is more interesting than the actual content at this point. Kinda makes me feel like its World War Z (The book ofc) and Fallout had a baby. Maybe we should just have an official history book set like 50 years later or something.
Season 7 is my favourite, but I hated how at the end it went from STRAND V MORGAN into MORGAN V ALICIA to WE ARE ALL FRIENDS AGAIN
honestly if i was the cop i would not feel that bad about having to play dirty to stop a murderer
Ya bro it makes no sense in the show the cop who planted evidence to feel so guilty he would ruin his own life. Why the guilt if he was certain the guy he put away was a serial killer? It doesnt make sense.
They needed 8 seasons for this? Jesus
“Man, I really fell behind on TWD lore, I should try some of the new shows they’re making” *live **6:07** reaction*
This season i was like.. wait so.. why didn't they just leave. Like they continued to stay there even after the bomb went off. Like there's no way right?. How is this even possible?
Thank you for the synopsis it makes me thankful that I didn’t go on to the rest of the seasons after season three. That would’ve been such a waste of time.
The one man the CRM feared most
I need a list of when to abandon Walking Dead series.
People here seem to agree that the nuke was the point they stopped on Fear the Walking Dead.
I stopped TWD after Tyresse had his arm amputated and then Rick (who would have had basic EMS training as a deputy) didn't bother trying to make a tourniquet, letting Tyreese bleed to death for no reason.
I really like Teddy's character it is so different from other villains feom Twd universe.
