      That's been my idea for a while.
      Beale goes on a global hunt for the survivors that have survived in places thought to be hostile to the living, the US would not be called hostile as survival is on easy mode there.
      Each team member has been hand picked for being ruthless and intelligent, Beale is creating an A Team to visit various labs around the world to retreave data and samples in search for the rumoured preventative.
      Each member is being blackmailed into going where his troops refuse to go, Beale captured family to get his way.
      Each episode would not be the same, some would show the labs and their research including variants while showing off a weekly build to defeat a variant, while other episodes are more relaxed and set in the prison where they're held (in full restraints: straight jacket, hand mits, handcuffs, leg shackles and Hannibal Lector mask) these help flesh out the characters, continue other stories and provide some comedy.
      Eventually the data and samples help create a preventative to stop people becoming walkers, even when bitten, while providing a true explanation of the origins and how it was released.

    Tales didn't actually retcon Alpha forming the Whisperers. It worked into the timeline pretty well. Alpha and Lydia were banished by Hera. Then they met Beta in 10×2. Then came back and with the help of Beta killed all the Whisperers. Alpha made a mask out of Hera's face and founded the Whisperers we see in the show. She did found them. She simply didn't COME UP with their idea herself. And anyone who could contradict her story of "I made the Whisperers" is dead. So....they did this one pretty smart

    As a guy who has moved a lot of dirt in the last 30 years, that is a really weird trench. It's missing a berm, so the dirt was hauled off. It doesn't have an edge road so they only worked on the area where they where removing material. They would also need massive infrastructure to remove water from the cut. And that's not even getting into how they are keeping the sides from sluffing off.
    Yes, I know it is dumb to put that much thought into something the writers didn't spend that much thought on.

    I think canonically, this is the “last” TWD episode. When I first watched it, I remember thinking that this was the farthest episode we’ve seen in the TWD show universe. I took it that, despite all the fighting, the dead truly won in the end with only them, a handful of survivors and bad groups left. Now that we know general Beale’s projection, I think we can see that he was right.

  • @thehiddenheretic
    @thehiddenheretic Před měsícem +38

    For timeline purposes, it's easy to take the reason for her position being so weak on it as "it's in the future, maybe UP TO 35 years later." Once more writing was done with main line shows, it's probably best to take some years off this and figure that more concrete storytelling has moved it up.
    If he was isolated 10 years, let's assume that it's after his buddy died, meaning he had 2 seperate isolations, with the second being of note due to it's length, especially if the couple of years mentioned was a vague sense of time and not literally 2. A total isolation of 10 years basically kills this idea being in the official timeline, so I think this is mandatory.
    So here are my thoughts on a proper spot in the timeline based solely on evidence you gave, with the goal being to set it in the future in a way that makes some sense. The doctor and his team work for 2 or 3 years before giving up and drift apart for 3 to 5 more years years. We are now 5 to 8 years in. The other guy comes back and lasts 1 to 2 years, so 6-10 years into the series. He is then isolated for 10 years, putting the timeline at 16-20 years past the start of the series.
    If the CRM is reformed at 14 years in, takes 3 years to better organize and get things rolling and ends up with a plan to push the dead back and dig a trench that could leave 3 years to get to that plan completed.
    This kind of explains the headhunters who use the dead zone as a close by and well stocked option for heads, be it for research (maybe brains are needed for vaccine studies hence the price onnheads and the removal of the dead weight for transportation) or maybe something random like you suggested.
    It would also make sense for the new settlers to arrive at this time since it would likely be around the time their relatively nearby area was fully brought into government territory, and they have decided to remain free. Americans are historically quite independent and those who survived the initial years and claimed land, even land surrounded by zombies wouldn't all be happy to go back to paying taxes and relying on representation by elected officials who may be from their region but not their community.
    And it could be that this is a traveling group of malcontents who over their trek picked up more members instead of a whole town who moved away (a fully committed town seems more likely to have stood their ground, whereas a few complainers from here and there would probably lose in local votes to join then leave when they didn't get their way. A few settlements with close ties each have a dozen people who do this and they now have maybe 50 people, especially if they get more on the way who meet them, hear their story, and decide that this is their chance to escape the return of an unwelcome government, further expanding them.
    And I can't remember if they were headhunters as well, but if they were playing the dual role of disgruntled settlers and bounty hunters for the same government they wouldn't live under, that still makes sense. A lot of people find it easy to make deals with people that they otherwise dislike or disagree with as long as the money is good. Money that would fund their new settlements since they have chosen to pick a place where they are surrounded by one of the last major pockets of zombies on the east coast and at the same time physically cut off from anyone who would even be crazy enough to come in for trade due to the trench. Basically, a bunch of "don't tread on me" prepper types who got used to the last man on earth mentality they grew accustomed to.
    It's likely that I left holes here and there as I stopped following the series years ago due to fatigue of it all, but I still follow along with recaps like yours, and kept up with the comics in the same way. Adding another 2-5 years to my estimate, even if it starts to stretch what was already sounding like some vague hand waiving estimates, would probably make this even easier to accept since 16 years into the apocalypse seems unlikely with where we seem to be at the end of the newest shows. But going much past 25 years seems unlikely as well, especially since the doctor probably wasn't so young at the start that he wouldn't be pushing 70 or 80 if we went much past that, especially if we accepted 35 years once more killing that idea.

      @johncap6495 lots of people make claims that don't come to be either because they were being conservative/pessimistic in their conclusion, changes came along that broke their calculations, or being plain wrong. Remember Eugene led a bunch of people around with claims to be on a mission to save the world and they believed him because he was smart enough to make it seem real. He was still a charlatan even if he turned out to be as smart as he claimed to be.

    I gotta watch this one again..I'm leading toward it either not being 35 years in..or non-canonical.
    Does Amy mention anything about herself as a child?
    Or anything that suggests she's familiar with a pre Monument Day world?
    An old show. School. Sports.
    Because how old do you all think she is approximately?
    I'd put her at 35 max.
    Even as young as 27.
    Suggesting her entire life has been post-apocalyptic if this takes place around 35 years in.
    So if there's any old world reference that put her having lived in that world, it would debunk this being 35 years after the virus infected the world.

I've been reading and writing fanfic for over 15 years and it has never been as bad as whatever the hell FEAR decided to do after the reboot, LMAO. And I'm glad to have skipped out on Tales of The Walking Dead because apparently, it's got the same problems. After listening to this video, I'm gonna unfortunately quote RiceGum and say that the whole series is irrelevant because it flopped due to all of the supension of disbelief being used up with the main shows/spinoffs. Scott Gimple pulled a Scott Cawthon and retconned the whole 35 year thing away and honestly? We're better off for it. Also, someone better check on ol' girl who blabbed. Is she okay?

    The timeline is already pretty confusing to me and if I’m following Tales of the walking dead, it makes it even worse to figure out😂 the writers were probably intending on this episode being taken 35 years into the outbreak considering how big the “dead sector” was if that’s the case, where the hell is the CRM? No way they would let a whole sector of dead roam around with all those resources. It’s all a can of worms😅 I still enjoyed your explanation and liked the comic ending nod too because that ending took place about 25 years into the future that we got our boy Carl Grimes in😭 but can’t wait until your next explanation video!

    Theory: Her and her group are wanted/on the run. Believing that no one would be dumb enough to go into that zone they could've thought it'd be possible to survive there. While dumb as hell because you'd need to make a noticeable location to feed, house, and defend the inhabitants. Unless they formed walls/trenches around their settlement and constantly kept guard, they'd eventually fall. But yeah, outlaws trying to hide and figuring leo's of that time wouldn't dare enter that zone. But that falls apart at points and eh. But it's an interesting theory. Or perhaps they are these "skull hunters" we hear about.

What changes happened in how society handles disease and death? Is there a new system of government established? What nations exist?

      Gimple probably had a big plan for the universe, but then the main show was cancelled so there wasn't a clear place for everything to collide and he just decided to scrap it. Daryl Dixon is the main show now but that focus seems to be on variants.

    This is a very cool topic to cover but my only concern with Tales is they brought in random writers for each episode that aren't very familiar with TWD. So I'm not even sure if the episodes are considered canon to the universe. Regardless my guess on the giant trench is that it was created to lead the giant hordes of walkers of the edge. This could be the best way to eliminate the massive amount of hordes that are out there. Similar to the end of The Whisper arc and how they defeated Betas horde. I have a feeling we'll never find out but still a very cool discussion video!

    Fairly certain any walkers over a few years turned would not exist as the brain would completely rot hence no walkers.

      I mean in theory if I was escaping from walkers who only move directly over land by walking rather slowly then making a large trench where all people need to do is get to the other side via anything from plane to rope bridge is probably going to be a good solution and I will take the planks to the first steps onto the bridge with me as I get on (roll em up and roll em out) or I would swing across the dang thing if I had to. What did it look like in the beginning is more what I am interested in because there was probably a use for it? With the herd sizes mentioned in TOWL I was like "they are going to need to fill the Grand Canyon with walkers" by leading them off a cliff. Killing one by one is incredibly slow and energy consuming.

    I think it’s a very real possibility these are supposed to be considered as in universe tales, stories told in this world that may or may not be completely true if true at all. It’s like how the Mad Max films are supposed to depict in universe fables opposed to exact representations of the world, or how Star Wars has released multiple books that have vague levels of canonicity as they detail characters discussing in universe legends about well known characters.

    A way to make the trench less silly would have been to not make it a trench at all,
    Make the zone an island surrounded by water with most ways to easily access the island be destroyed,
    That would solve a good portion of the silly parts of this episode

    I been binge watching seasons like season 8 was so much better then real time. I notice also in recap videos that everything is recycled. Rick became Shane. Rick made Gareth kneel,the cops in Atlanta etc Negan made Rick kneel. Elton the smart kid in world beyond also said humans silk be wiped out in 15 years. Then Beale tells Rick that. I'm gonna say 15 years maybe. Not 35. Tales was awful except for Alpha episode and I really liked episode 2. I know it was little crazy but the way I interpret that is the main characters became walkers and we were seeing a person's brain transition into a walker. The end their clothing looked like walkers and they limped like walkers. Plus the familiarity with each other is why they walked together. Idk I just want more Rick and CRM back. Great videos brother. But the rest other then maybe the PPP card will be dropped unless they do next generation with RJ( who is awful) then we will be 35 years in which by then we won't be watching

    I’m clueless as to how or when the giant trench was dug.
    I wonder, though, if what’s “worse” outside the dead sector is either variant walkers or other walker-borne illnesses like what Beale mentioned. Maybe the walkers inside the dead sector aren’t infected with either the variant walker virus or the other walker borne disease(s).
    For the skull-hunters, we see in Daryl Dixon that the scientists making the variant walker serum use a Walker head in a jar somehow for that process. Maybe that process requires a non-variant walker’s head and those are hard to come by outside the dead sector. (This is presuming that madam Gene somehow attacks the US/sends her variants to the US)
    Either that or some organization needs these non-variant walkers to work on a cure.

    In a world where the dead rose and almost wiped out humanity, why the hell would people follow them around and study them like wild animals? Also after 10 years shouldnt the walkers have decomposed to such a degree that they wouldnt even exist anymore? I forget do Walkers not go after animals? I know they swarmed Rick's horse in Atlanta so after 10 years wouldnt the predators in the trench have killed off the Walkers for food (since the walkers cant really reproduce).

  • @MatthewMuhammad
    @MatthewMuhammad Před měsícem +1

    I don't think this episode takes place 35 years after Monument Day. I know that I already mentioned this in the poll, but it is highly unlikely that Dr. Everett and his colleagues were studying the dead for 26 years before being overrun by Walkers or people. If something were to happen to them, it would have happened much sooner.
    With 26 years under his belt, Dr. Everett would probably have more knowledge about Walkers than their migration patterns. In World Beyond, the CRM scientists had already discovered ways to slow down the "resurrection" process so that it would be easier to kill them before they turned.
    There are a lot of "problems" with TWD universe, so who knows? For example, how has nobody built up immunity from the virus this many years into the outbreak?
    Surely, at some point, somebody would just die and stay dead? What about people who died shortly before the outbreak happened? Nobody mentioned people rising from their graves. So there was an exact day when people got infected from the virus?

    • @Swell-Films
      @Swell-Films  Před měsícem

      That last part is actually an extremely interesting question I haven’t thought of.
      Dr Jenner states wildfire was declared around April 2010, and monument day occurs on august 27th, people would presumably have to be reanimating before the earliest on screen walker (fear season 1 episode 1).

    The trench thing makes sense but seems way too big of a project especially early on. I mean look at how hard it was for Ricks group to just build a bridge. But if it could be done it would make sense to do multiple trenches and clear in between the trenches rather than build one and clear one side of it

    • @dixieboyz1

      If it were me I would build concentric rings (or preferably lines if you were based on a peninsula *cough* Florida) then clear and expand one level at a time.
      Edit: or a grid structure across the US or North America would work too and might be more convenient especially if used together with natural barriers (mountains and rivers)

    • @dixieboyz1
      @dixieboyz1 Před měsícem

      I could definitely see the CRC/CRM doing this since they kinda already use the river the split the city and the consignees. It definitely seems realistic for them to use barriers natural or manmade to expand and create a sort of class structure based on how close you are to the center

    I think TOTW overall was a massive fumble. There was so much ground that could've been covered. We could've had a more in-depth look at what happened before our group arrived at Terminus, the origins of The Saviors, all sorts of stuff.
    Dr Everett and Amy and Evie and Joe are my favourites out of the bunch. I think the Davon one was okay, and the others were mid at best. It's a shame the show turned out the way it did because I would've loved a little glimpse into the lives of other survivors that aren't ruined by stupid time loops and ghosts...

Show other battles and groups killing walkers or trying to find sanctuary, im sure there were other cannibals out there, other Negans out there, other military groups similar to the Commonwealth and CRM, there’s so much they could do with a Series like this and the showrunners dropped the ball.
