    The 1st one i felt bad for eastman, the 3rd shows how terrifying the initial outbrake can be but the 2nd one damn, that was too disturbing

      Agreed. I would say out of all the three presented here, Maggies story definitely felt like I was actually watching it happen as she was told them what she encountered the most.

      Reminds me of the movie Bone Tomahawk. Basically the same thing is both hinted at and shown where female natives of a certain tribe had their arms and legs cut off, eyes pierced with bone nails and they were just used as breeders for the tribe.

    While the Walking Dead gets some (deserved) criticisms, a lot of the worldbuilding that's sprinkled in, like these campfire tales and the environmental lore is honestly so well done.

    For Eastman to say that he had only ever met 1 true evil person, it makes you wonder which character would come along that would fit his description. Charming, manipulative, puts on a face. But, we had already seen the first, and only truly evil character introduced in season 3. The Governor was the only character introduced in The Walking Dead that fit those descriptions, because he *was* Too Far Gone.

    @kingdevin_ Před 25 dny +40

    The second story was the most disturbing because the fact that old man kept those women as like prizes of sorts, I forgot about this story ngl. Eastman’s campfire story was sad too since that’s what made him the person he was when he met and helped Morgan. The third one was sad and poetic as well since all those people died but then got the revenge like you mentioned as walkers. I’m looking forward to more stories in the future! Would you do any stories about the comics or telltale games?

  • @draggonsgate
    @draggonsgate Před 25 dny +17

    Eastman, I get. In a way, I even agree with his actions. If it were my family, I think I might be as brutal. Scary, but just being honest. The Arena is understandable too. It was horrific, but not having the knowledge of exactly how things were going down, the actions of Andy were understandable. Remember in 17 miles out when Shane couldn't figure out why the security guards had turned when there were no bites or scratches... so even that far in, no one really knew... As far as the attic. In this world, the dead are the least dangerous enemy. They are predictable... and easily dealt with in smaller numbers, of course... I wish "Monument Day" could be more dealt with. It just seems inconceivable that everything went to crap on one day... It takes time for people to turn. It's not like half the population went walker overnight rendering the military, police, and the general population impotent. That was my hope with the creation of Fear... we would gt to see the gradual disintegration of things. Instead, we got another time jump, and even that didn't seem too severe, until the day the bombed the hell out of everything... remember the drive they did to Victor's place? No huge roaming hoards of walkers... a few fires her and there, but it seemed more deserted than anything. Just doesn't make sense to me...

    Suggestions for campfire stories: Terminus and how Gareth came to eat humans. The story of the apply guy and the girl with the dead leg and their fates. The story of Gabe leaving those people outside the church to die. the story of Bob being eaten by the cannibals. The story of the Govenors zombie daughter. The story of the Govenors heads in tanks. The story of Michonnes walkers (her pet ones)

      @@Swell-Films even though they're stories we already know, I think that short form campfire storytelling of the dark happenings in TWD would be super cool. Also the story of Lizzy and Mika from start to finish and Lizzie's descent into psychosis would be a cool one to explore! The pink house with the family and the painting I actually felt was abit of a foreshadowing for Lizzies psychosis as I watched this vid and focused on the painting. It's typical for Schizophrenics to draw like this in a psychotic state so I think the mother defaced it herself, killed her kids and she's the woman in the chair, and then a survivor/her husband covered the door but wanted to preserve their art so they covered the painting. Alot of people forget that Lizzie says she sees and hear things at one point too. Maybe exploring from Lizzie's mind how she viewed the walkers and her descent into the flowers moment would be cool and gives room for creative thinking as we never saw Lizzie's psychosis from her mind and her and Mikas story from being a kid before to the end would be cool and spooky in a campfire storytelling vid. Also I'm glad you like them! Gareth was the most intriguing and scariest villain to me, the thought of cannibalism is so inhuman that any stories surrounding Terminus would be pretty spooky!

    This is one of my favorite parts of The Walking Dead and they do it so well telling these horrific stories about the world around that you cannot see but only hear it allows you to paint that horrifying picture yourself and therefore makes the universe seem so much bigger because through the show you only see it through the eyes of the choosen characters but it builds that view of everything every new person encountered usually has a horror story to tell and it makes you realize how bleak the reality of the apocalypse really is

    Fun fact for the third story. There, this mobile game is called fear the walking dead dead run, and one of the chapters you get to play as a US soldier who unfortunately got trapped in the arena. I'm not sure if it's canon or not, but I thought it would be interesting to share.

    This video was BRILLIANT! 🤩
    I like this channel and near enough all of its content, but one thing I will say is that TWD breakdown channels are a dime a dozen, where this channel really rises above the others are vids like this and the environmental storytelling breakdowns you do. I appreciate things like that aren’t an infinite resource to make videos about, but coming out with this as something new to the environmental storytelling breakdowns you do shows you have it in you and in this channel to find ways to stand out from the competition and do things others aren’t doing.
    Bravo Ty 👏👏👏
