@@TWDExplained😂😂 no cap
Fire episode
@@TWDExplained bro lol
TWD Universe’s Thanos and The Most Powerful Military On The Planet were defeated by the power of love and plot armor. Straight up.💀
Cheesy
When he said they had spies on communities, I was actually waiting for a reveal where they showed a major character we have known for years, actually works for the CRM
Same. I was expecting RJ to be a spy
@@chadwavechecklol
I have a theory that magna is a spy because someone in her group said they were in philladelphia at one point
Lance Hornsby was a spy
jadis?
The plot armor in this finale was crazy. The whole thing was littered with plot armor at almost every corner especially in the second half of the episode.
Have you watched the walking dead? Lots of plot armor to go around for all characters😂. Rick was impaled by a piece of bar and then blew up on a bridge and lived. Nobody complained. I find it funny and unfair that fans of the franchise criticize this series for something the original show had been doing for years.
Episode 1 was perfection. But they basically lied to us for YEARS about Beale. Building him up and then he’s not even in the dang show.
Episode 1 was fantastic. I wish this series was much much longer and slower paced
When was Beale first mentioned? I can't remember
Episode 1 and 4 were the best
@@sr.m8641 First episode of World Beyond, and he's a continual mention throughout the spinoff show.
They needed at least two more episodes, would have been justified
I think I’m disappointed that Beale didn’t survive to become a threat they could handle in the future. That’s my main gripe. Otherwise I was happy to see Rick get to see his daughter and second son.
I wanted to see John Locke do more damage
@@innavision1920why are people calling him that
I think focus will be to defend Ameican from Genet. She seems to have ambitions of world conquest.
@@curry_bandwagon1031 Lost
It might been rushed but at least we got answers now so I'm happy
Beale was an old man who never had a chance against Rick. And Rick was not buying what he was selling.
Agreed. His power and villiany all tied to the front line troops who did his bidding. He served his purpose on the show
In the end he looked very pathetic, like someone that always depends on others to fight for him having to fight for himself for the first time, old man was easily defeated
🎯🎯🎯
Yeah it's weird because if he was a vietnam vet he would probably be like 70+ years old so i don't know how he's supposed to fight Rick in his prime. It also doesn't add up how Beale has a teenage son because he would've had a kid when he was like 55+
@rowrowfightthepower9 I think his son was 18-22 range. Would've put Beale in late 40s to early 50s. Not unheard of for a guy in his 50s to become a father. Given Beale's devotion to the military, he may not have taken up fatherhood until he got older. Plus time was played with quite a but on this series. We don't know exactly how much time has passed since the end of World Beyond.
if Sonic the hedgehog saw this episode he'd probably say jeez i thought i was fast 😹
😂
12:15 - Judith missed her chance to bring a great Negan reference into play, she should have said "Ah so Negan was wrong, Helicopters and Planes still exist" or something since that was a scene between Negan & Judith joking about how Judith will never get to see a flying aircraft but years into future her father comes home in one
That's just silly
“Ah, maybe the true AMC’s the walking dead were the villains we met along the way. Good thing we’re the ones who live, I almost put my pee pee pants on. Glad you made it to this dead city, dad, but Daryl Dixon Book 1: the book of carol is looking for you in the world beyond. Imagine the tales they’ll tell, especially because they fear the walking dead. Also L negan, nerd told me planes didn’t exist. You play fornite?”
@@Iletyoulive Not as silly as RJ's acting
@@dustywoood wait until you see Daryl and negan act 💀🤭
Michonne said “That’s a wrap” on ig. I think this is basically the end for them. Probably a few cameos but nothing major for a while.
How the heck did Rick tie knots around those grenades to string them together?… I actually facepalmed when he left his prosthetic hand before the big fight.
Zip ties
And how did his prosthetic hand magically appear on his arm to block Beales sword when it was on the table between them 😊
@@dougmoodie8713 dude you’re so right.
@gotcha927 just rewatched it, he quickly re attached it on the floor
I Wished they had an extra episode of Rick going round commonwealth/Alexandria reuniting with everyone. Obviously Daryl’s in France so idk how that will play out in the future.
they shoulda made ep6 a double length EP and had at least 20min of Rick meeting the others
No one that Rick knew lives in Alexandria anymore now bruv💀
@@Sohelanthropus The last scene of S11 ep24 Gabriel and Aaron were at Alexandria.
It wasn't perfect, but some people are exaggerating saying it was a horrible finale
It was horrible in my opinion
Could of been better
Its because of the expectation. People did not expect it to go like this, i though that we werent even close to wrapping up this storyline and that the finale was going to set up season 2 in some way. I thought it was more likely that they got arrested by the CRM and thats how S1 ends or just something that can build up hype for S2 , than to just outright win in one episode. I guess Andrew Lincoln wanted it done and over with quick to move on to other projects , thats just my guess. We dont even have any confirmation if there will be season 2 or its wraps ? thats my only problem with it. I guess maybe in the Daryl show there will be more if they return to the states, who knows.
Well it’s not the last we will see of them. Andrew has stated he had already had discussions with Scott gimple about how they will handle the reunions with Daryl and Morgan so it’s not the end people! We might not get a season 2 but we will see Rick again sometime someday!
We just gonna forget that the white bunny was just like the one that the little girl zombie had in episode one of the Walking Dead?
Judith had one, Gracie had one - it is a symbol of innocence and comfort to a child
That was definitely a call back.
Wish Judith gave Rick his gun back at the end would be awesome for me to see. Now i hope we have a Rick Daryl Carol reunion in the end of Daryl spinoff.
I said, out loud, to my son, “I hope Judith gives him his gun back.” 😂
I was surprisingly satisfied with the finale. Given that this was advertised as a limited series I had reconsiled with the fact that this may be the final time we ever see Rick and Michonne in TWD and probably an end to the CRM story as well.
the ending was terrible and the crm should have won
Andrew Lincoln nailed his role, I felt like I was watching OG Rick, he never once made me lose that illusion - so his acting was on point / his character was perfect. Everything else around him was just a rushed performance, this storyline could have been dragged out a longer time it would be awesome. It was SO fast paced, so so much potential. The World Beyond Season 2 gave me that intrigue into the CRM, but this series just killed it lol. I'm ssooooooo conflicted
Also with the Rick vs Thorn fight, in reality, a physically capable male will always easily outpower a physically capable female. The scenes of her being able to out muscle Rick when pushing him backwards was unrealistic. It would be more realistic if actual forms of marital arts e.g jiu jitsu etc took place but not power verses power. The fight scene seemed far too "off" for me
Am I the only person who would like to see all of Jadis's notes? I froze the video a bit to read them, and it seemed like an absolute soul emptying bit of writing.
Also, Gimple lied. They did not really answer the PPP question definitively
maybe he knows that will be told in the TWDU - but not fully in TOWL?
Scott M. Gimple should never be allowed showrunner duties of any sort in the future… Corny dialogue, choppy and unfinished plot lines, and a perpetually bad habit of doing one hell of a fluff job, just to go and deflate the momentum with moronic ineptitude… He must’ve gone to the Kathleen Kennedy school of world building and universe development because, after literal years of planning, that ending was the absolute best idea you could come up with?? It’s like he just had a list of boxes to check and decided to help with context And logic…
@@talkinblindly1161🙌🏻
I think it's Portland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
so much cheesy dialogue, im like who writes some of this ish@@talkinblindly1161
People's expectations are always set so high, geared towards what they wanna see personally instead of just letting the story ride and enjoying it for what it was. It wasn't bad, I enjoyed it. I'm here for the characters and their development, not everything has to be perfect.
2 things I've noticed from the community here and in other twdu channels on yt is 1: they rushed this finale or the entire thing and there are questions that are left unanswered 2: Redeeming Thorne at the last minute was the biggest bs they could do.
if only they just made a couple more episodes or even one more episode it wouldve been better
yep
Hell even 30 more minutes could’ve given us a better reunion and ending.
Everyone of your comments are the same thing ong, you complain over every thing
My dad was one of the soldiers who guarded the Berlin Wall in the 70s. Every few months the East Berliners would threaten to breach the wall and kidnap the kids on our side of the wall. Scariest time of my life. So this episode was kinda triggering for me…brought up a few memories. I was in 1st grade.
wowzer
@@TWDExplained I didn’t realize I had PTSD from that. Imagine going to your 1st grade class walking by armed gunman at every corridor..that was my life as a military brat. Lol the principal had airplanes on reserve just in case there was a breach. We were to fly back to the states to wait for our parents in NY. I was too young to understand why I couldn’t go outside to play. Lol
some of us do not know how good we have it
@@TWDExplained I hope it doesn’t return….fascism, I mean.
This was 2 rushed, the CRM had so much potential. You could even set it up to have another series with all the characters together in a big war vs the CRM. I'm so disappointed as a fan...
I killed someone with my teeth, savage! Damn I missed Rick❤
Beal sounded like he was giving out his supervillain dialog for world domination
The episode was good. This series was good but it would have been better with 8-10 episodes. It seemed rushed.
Fanbase hasnt been this divided in a while.
Can't please everyone. I think fans overhyped themselves into what they thought would happen.
so very true - it was a Hype Apocalypse for many fans
I can't remember the last time this happened
….maybe the divided fan base will result in years before we get the full reunion…like the divided fan base/nitpicking (possibly) resulted in Carl’s death, Lincoln leaving, Gurira leaving, TWD tanking, and the years before the return of Richonne.
@@cristiancontreras4001is it really overhype or just a rushed finale and a complete waste of potential for the CRM?
Great review James! Absoultely agreed that it wasn't a perfect finale and some things were definitely rushed but I loved it. It was intense, exciting, and unpredictable. We finally got the reunion we've been waiting for years. I was happy the whole way through. Great series. :)
Hey! I am super glad you enjoyed it - even though I said a few things - I enjoyed it also. Thanks as always friend!!!!!!!
You are not alone in thinking this about the CRM. Nearly 50 people I was with at the premiere for the finale. Said they wished the CRM and even Beale had survived. The common questions brought up by everyone were: 1.) how could just two people wipe out an entire army? Let’s be real. 2.) what’s with the impenetrable character armor? None of the protagonists suffered any consequences or faced high stakes. 3.) why wasn’t Alexandria or commonwealth hit? 4.) how could Rick survive a literal grenade exploding less than 1 foot away from him?! 5.) wouldn’t there be dissent amongst the CRC about dismantling/ overseeing the CRM? 6.) wouldn’t a community that just heard their military be attacked want to protect their people from threats? ( Rick and michonne attacking them) Ricks group would do that. Try and protect their own from a threat attacking a community of theirs 7.) was the echelon briefing rushed? 8.) Beale said there were sleeper cells in many other communities, does that mean some are in the commonwealth, Alexandria( when Dianna was alive), etc.? 9.) why did michonne pick up the document after ripping it? There was no point. 10.) Beale said humanity had 14 years left till extinction, wouldn’t spreading out all the civic republics resources strain its reservoir? Does that mean 14 years are left for the show? Time jumps and all? 11.) how did Rick and michonne survive the gas? Yes a wet mask could work in covering the mouth and nose, what about the eyes? When they got on top of the storage unit and they take off their masks, that they aren’t affected by the rising gas still in the air? 12.) how did Thorne magically survive the gas explosion and magically find a mask without being affected? I would have to say that I agree with all the questions brought up.
good ones - #3 because they prevented that from happening (R & M) #9 - good forensics could put it back together most of the others are - eh writing room
Yep lol all these, really really disappointing ending to a badass character
1. It's Rick and Michonne! How many seemingly hopeless situations have they gotten themselves out of over the years? 2. Lots of impenetrable plot armor over the years amongst the main cast. Not the first time. Imagine the meltdown if both Rick and Michonne die and don't go home to Judith and RJ. 3. Up until the Eschelon briefing, CRM didn't react to outside people/communities unless they found out about their existence. Clearly, didn't know about Alexandria as Jadis was using it as leverage against Rick and Michonne. There's been speculation that Commonwealth may have some kind of partnership with the CRM (see Lance's comment about maintaining alliances). 4. Rick appears to have thrown the grenade in a manner that struck the walkers further from him. Walkers around him shielded him from the blast but were also taken out by the debris. Pretty amazing he walked away from that. Thought he was deas myself. But stil epic and will accept he survived. 5. I don't think so. Recall the newspaper front page visible in World Beyond. The Council was chomping at the bit to get oversight over the CRM. Plus the newspaper noted candidates running to be on the Council wrere running on a platform of CRM oversight. The CRM apparently operated under a state of emergency since the early days of the CR, which exempted them from oversight. Beale used the "walker herd breach at Omaha and Campus Colony as an excuse to extend the emergency. Now that the Council knows the full extent of Beale's plans and atrocities, I doubt there was little, if any, resistance to oversight of the CRM. 6. I think Rick and Michonne explaining the situation was enough to sell the Council on the threat of Beale and his front liners. Would've been nice to have a seen showing the conversation with the city council, but understand why it was left out. 7. No. Seemed straight to the point. Beale clearly laid out the objectives. 8. Sure, that's possible. Things don't happen on the show for no reason. The comment about the spies in other communities (we've already seen one with Huck in the Campus Colony on World Beyond) really opens up opportunities to tie in the CRM storyline line to other spinoffs or new projects. Beale said rhe reach was global. Who's to say there aren't spies in Dama's group in Dead City or Genet's group in Daryl Dixon. Plus the spies leave the bad guy element of the CRM out there. Even with oversight, I don't think it's possible the Council tracks down these spies, at least not right away. 9. It would very easy for someone smart to put back together the dossier. Michonne did the right thing in taking it with her. 10. I think Beale looks at the mission as conserving their own resource from future combatants and taking resources from those the CRM eliminate. If Beale's modeling is legit, then it's possible 14 years is all that's left for humanity. I guess we'll see what happens. 11. I'm accepting the tarp and water was enough to protect them from the chlorine gas. Maybe that's enough in real life. I don't know. But at minimum, it's one of those suspend belief moments. 12. They don't show where Thorne was in reference to the explosion. Assume she got herself somewhere safe. For the gas mask, I'm guessing these were reaidly available since the mission involved the use of the gas.
@@Nate4445 #10 - It seems Tales told us that people make past the 14 years?
@TWDExplained I did realize after my reply I forgot to mention the future Tales episode
Imagine the perfect world where this series was 2-4 episodes longer. At least it’s closure nonetheless, that’s really all I’ll say on that matter. I did find Beale’s story on the second civil war between the Pennsylvania NG and Federal forces to be really interesting. Literally the bog tape. I also noticed that Chinook at the end had one circle. Can we assume that Portland broke off from the CR alliance? Omaha is dead; Portland wants out after they found about the failed echelon plans, hence the solo circle. Yes I know it’s not hard to piece together, but its a little detail.
Yes - the civil war should be the BOG tape right? Yes, it had one circle. I bet they broke off. Good details.
When Rick was hit by that grenade, we should have seen Carl in the distance watching him, just like the Shane appearance in S3 in Woodbury.
Long have we waited for the Grimes family to be whole again.
no we didn't we were waiting for the crm
@@jacobangulo6573 Cry harder
@@Kdriggs15 cry about what ?
Yes, but Carl and Andrea and not this politicial ideal
Rj: “I believed 🙂”
Shockwave would of smoked them
That was my thought too.
Rick is explosion proof lol
He really is.
I really liked it, cheesiness and all. I will say however, I agree with the pacing. I turned my head to grab a drink and the fight was Thorne was pretty much over. Other gripes: 1) Beale was that powerful, but didn’t have adequate security?! 2) Thorne really saw that plan for Portland and was like ok, cool! Like what??? 3) It took Thorne that long to piece it together about Rick and “Dana” B’s were coming off a little dumb in this entire episode 😂 Glad it wrapped up the way it did and glad this channel was here for recaps.
they rushed that ending 😩 and cheesified it for sure. we got what we wanted tho?
I love it!! Great ending for rick
Yes - he reunited with the kids! That's what I wanted for the character.
Ye, it's a great ending for Rick AND the love of his life, wife Michonne. I loved his reunion with their kids. His life is complete with his family again.
They wouldn’t have stopped the helicopter at the Commonwealth because Michonne doesn’t know about that…unless Judith told her on the walkie off screen.
if they did stop - it was because they were in communication with Judith and maybe others.
Most of the disappointment is from fans coming up with their own scenarios of how the show will end and then being disappointed that their scenario didn’t come true.
Not me. I had some THEORIES my man, but I'm glad I was wrong. I loved it, it was so satisfying. I was prepared for a tragic thing to happen. The last scene was majorly cheesadelic though. That little part was poorly done.
This happens way too much. Some fans drift too far down the speculation rabbit hole that they believe there can't be any other scenario
It happened to me, i wished we got more from the CRM, but that's ok, it wasn't what i wanted but it's still good
@@justinTime077same. I thought for sure Rick was going to bite it while trying to get her and Michonne back home.
I think the fact that he said he has spies around the world is so exiting, i really want them to do a CRM spinoff where we see what they have been up to for all thoes years. It would be great to see the decisions that lead up to operation cobalt or to see when the military found out the exact moment they knew they was fucked.
I also feel that it was rushed. The timeline is way off.
I've loved every episode, I was just hoping for more in finale. I loved they both survived and reunited with the kids!! I'm just underwhelmed that the CRM is done just like that. No connections, no world building. Beale dead with 10 mins of screen time. No bigger story coming just self contained stories inside a bubble. Good, happy ending for the series, very MID ending as it relates to future TWD universe.
Yeah could've been a 90 min episode
That explosion had that much of a blast radius lmao they were right fuckin next to it!a tarp with a bit of water would not save them! And Rick surviving the point blank grenade blast lmao
all of that is feasible it seems - in a universe that the dead can walk 🤷♂️
They actually diminished the existence of World Beyond plot. What a waste
Negan was definitely an embed, "people are a resource". He took other communities resources. Negan has been shown watching a helicopter.
he wasnt shown watching a helicopter, jadis almost gave him to the crm and he was like "what the shit" when he saw the helicopter
The main reason seasons 1-3 were the best was because they made it as realistic as possible..
It did make me think of negan and Judith's. conversation about the airplane.
James… Two things are for certain but one thing is for sure….You can’t please everyone, and at the end of the day it’s The Walking Dead… A show ALL OF US watched and fell in love with. We laughed, we cried, and we got mad. It wasn’t perfect. And this goes to everyone who’s seeing this…Ready? Here it is…….. You’ll miss it when it’s COMPLETELY GONE. Great review buddy.. PS reruns don’t matter 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Yep - it's something I learned early on playing music - some will like it some will hate it. It's just a human thing.
@@TWDExplained How long do you think the other shows will go on? I haven’t heard anything on Dead city. And DD new season. Is back this summer with Carol in it.. What do you think will happy
@@lamarcbishop3460 Dead City S2 is happening - DD S3 is happening. It all depends on if Genet is defeated in the DD show or that villain crosses over.
Feels like they had a great concept then just absolutely fluffed it at the end. The CRM simply shouldn't of been finished with ease like that. Biggest military power left in the world and a few grenades and a tent of chlorine gas ended them all. Cool. D&D levels of writing there
Only the command staff and frontliners were killed. The rest of the CRM had no idea about the atrocities. I think they mentioned 90% of the CRM had no idea of the stuff that went down.
@@Raven-vu6lrexactly. I had to tell my 15 year old son to shush because I wanted to hear what the broadcast said. It was very important information actually.😊
@MsAubrey Yeah, the Civic Republic are basically the UN delivering food parcels around the various communities
The add-in about agents influencing politics around the nation isn’t supposed to be a continuum to other stories. It’s in reference to what Lance was up to in season 11 of TWD. He threatened and mentioned he had connection with bigger and stronger powers outside the commonwealth before Daryl and Carol killed him for his insanity. Lance was running against Milton for Governor and he was definitely trying to influence the politics in a very different direction while already running his own underground operations with the commonwealth soldiers: The train. Overtaking other communities into outposts and taking their resources - like Beale said. Lance and Jadis were similar as they were “agents” checking on these communities and infiltrating if they felt it was worthwhile. We’ve already seen this threat in the main show.
I loved it! But why was the AMC new show with no commercials and we got a ton of them. Disrespectful to TWD fans
AMC's crazy way of promotion
@@TWDExplained ya promotion of a show that can't even match TWD! THAT SUCKS. I think they hate us.
The production value dropped as the episodes went on. They crammed in a whole bunch at the end that could have been really good content. And they didn't say anything about any kind of variance or different kind of walkers. Overall it's the best spin-off I am happy with it I hope there's more to come
Beale had a son. Also Last of us Part 2 happened. Alls I’m sayin…
I agree 👍
Im glad i got to follow guys like you on the journey and im glad this show happened, it could habe not
Beale wanted to put all his eggs in 1 basket to make the human race survive but that's not a great idea
I know we don't like to think about Tales too much, but the one was 35 years after the fall right? That would put people past 14 more years by a little bit.
yes
Lol wasn’t that a lie?😅
Gimple said the city Princess was found in wasnt named on the show to avoid any run ins too soon with the CRM
That's correct. On the show it was mentioned that she originally lived in Pittsburg, but had moved away. In the comic, they met her in Pittsburg and was a way of paying homage to George Romero (who had lived there)
👍🧟🫡
The way I see this whole show is that it’s Rick an Michonne telling RJ an Judith what happened on their journeys after they got back an that’s why it feels a bit rushed an packed with a lot of info an has a lot of time jumps
Then we had to wait through Parish to see a very short Daryl Dixon 2
How about the second civil war tho I mean that was a big part two states fighting eachother in a apocalypse
yeah that was crazy to hear
Major general Baele, he had no securuty at all? Right. They rushed the whole end. They scrueled everything for me. Giving Baele like a total off 12 min screentime. What a waste of money and what a waste of the time of the public.
I mean I'm really happy that he reunited with his family after all these years, but it just could've ended better. I wish the CRM would've been a villain still after TOWL since they've basically been building them up as an overlooming threat ever since the first episode of the main show. With your theory of France taking over, I REALLY hope they do that or something along the lines of it. If they just kill Janet off like they did to Beale and Daryl goes home I think I'll just be done with any future Walking Dead stuff.
CRM could be used in other season/spinoffs/new projects. Can't forget Genet in Daryl Dixon has ambitions of conquering the world. Maybe Rick does lead the CRM and they're used later to fight Genet. Plus Beale mentioned CRM spies in communities all over the world. Even with Council oversight over the military, I can't imagine all of these spies will be accounted for.
They literaly only need 1 episode to take down crm with full thousands armed soldier, and wheres other elites like thorne
they probably filmed the reunion in a field bc they didn’t want any spoilers , sucks but i just hope for a season 2
Thanks for all your work covering the series, James. Episode 1 was probably my least favorite because of all the exposition and time jumping. Seems like I have differing opinions from everyone else. Overall it was a pretty good series, about what I expected. I also kind of hoped for a post credit sequence or epilogue of some sort. But I'm glad Rick and Michonne survived and I think the reunion with the kids was satisfying, loved the music too. Terry O'Quinn wasn't in the show as much as i wanted and TO BE HONEST I didn't think his acting was all that convincing, especially during the disappointing echelon briefing and Rick fight. Rick & Michonne surviving all that stuff at the summit reminded me of the TWD episode where they drove the 2 cars with the wires attached through the giant horde. Full of plot armor but it's all in good fun. (Personally I think Daryl Dixon was a better show but I'm still ok with the outcome here)
Way too much plot armor for Rick and Michonne. It was nothing but cheap fan service to have the reunion.
They definitely cut corners
rick and michonne were playing on very easy mode
They completed their glitchless 100% government takeover speed run In like.. a week.
I just like the fact that with all of the flashbacks and memberberries, Lori hasn't been mentioned or thought of even once.
The very end was what I wanted to see. Im mixed but satisfied RJ got to meet dad,
yep
I personally don’t think this is the end. I think a season 2 of sorts is probably still gonna happen just not the way we thought it was gonna go down. Gimple already put out an interview for episode 6 saying he wanted to do more stories with Rick and Michonne so yeah.Plus the Ratings are enough for AMC to not cut the head from the golden goose just yet.
Hope AMC sees this comment 😊
Why are people disappointed with Beale? He didn’t have a huge role but he was a vile character who destroyed settlements. He was huge in the backstory of the years of CRM. He got the end he deserved with Rick. As far as the timeline goes.. personally I think between the explosion, and then going home. A couple years have passed. At least a year. Rick and Michonne must’ve gone back to help bring the news and lead the changes in the CRM. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re higher ups in the CR because of it. They had the abilities to keep an eye on Alexandria etc to ensure their safety, as well as the man power to do so. So I think they were keeping them safe. I hope there’s a season two or more to this, there’s so much back story and so much story left to tell. But they also left it at a place that if they don’t do anything else, it’s a good ending. I was pretty happy and threw my hands up when the scene with the walkie showed up.. but I thought surely some others from the community will be there. I think they left that out on purpose. If there’s a season 2 that’s gotta be the first episode.
Also people complaining about it being rushed? I think this is because the last few season of TWD were exact opposite. And people didn’t seem to like that either
I agree with you. I feel like if they do a season 2 the first episode should fill in the time between the destruction of the headliners and when they reunite with their children. Rick could potentially be the leader of the crm. But they're are probably more beale loyalist thst they may have to deal with after they find out what happened.
@@corykolodzieski3235 could be. I think that may be why it seems time has passed since the destruction of Elite CRM and returning home. At least it appears that some time has passed. They didn’t just jet to their kids
I wanted Michonne to take the cat!!! 😻
Y’all expected way too much out of 6 episodes. Finale was amazing and the show overall was a 8/10.
the entire show was terrible and the crm should have won
And that is the problem. The CR and the CRM have been built up for all these years and they just ram through the storyline in 6 episodes. No pay off, no real answers, no nothing. Just got to ram it all through in 6 episodes which are what 45 mintues each. Not enough time to do anything with it. You want something that is done right, go read One Piece. That is how you write a story. You take time to build every piece and then it starts to pay off much later because of all that time building things up.
@@LUCKO2022 my comment was made for people like you. Read it again
Just so many I'm done folks hating every episode of TWD, and yet keep watching. I don't know of one show or movie that's not over the top at some point. It's fun it's an escape from reality. Everybody has opinions I get it, but It's not a documentary people 😂.
Exactly.
They’ve said from the beginning, it’s an epic “love story” about 2 people trying to find or get back to each other. Killing a few villains along the way is a plus.
I can’t agree
@@TheCivicRepublicMilitary oh shit, it's the CRM
@@sr.m8641 yes it is. Beale May have died. Thorne May have died, Jadis may have died. But our legacy will continue. And we will be back with a vengance!
Awesome episode. Only thing I wondered about is why when the helicopter landed in the field why was it only Judith and R.J. who came out. I would have thought that a lot of people whould have come out to investigate.
They were very upfront about what this spin off was about. Judging by some of the over the top nitpicking and outright trashing of the entire series, it wouldn’t surprise me if Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira never came back. It reminds me of the hate Chandler got and then when they wrote him out, people were shocked. Fans gave the impression the character sucked and wouldn’t be missed. Fans act like children throwing a temper tantrum because they didn’t get a crm focused show in a spin off focused on Rick and Michonne’s love story.
❤ 🎯 🎯 ITA!!
I really love your break downs man and no ho mo but your voice is very soothing lmao
I do appreciate a happy ending! Yes rushed but I just see that as me wanting more🤷🏽♀️. So kudos to them for leaving me wanting more❤❤❤
Let's be real, this was probably the best closure we'd get for Rick's story at this point. As a long-time fan of his story arch, I welcome this ending as the official ending to the main show. Sure, corners were cut to get here, but damn, Rick finally got that happy ending and the fans got to say goodbye to both Rick and Carl the right way. Now, for those of you who endured years of shit shows to follow the CRM story, I feel bad for you.
Ya I endured world beyond
@RickGrimes_TVas a series this destroyed World Beyond.. don't kid yourself.
That is what kept me hanging on was the CR and the CRM, and what I got was spit in the face. Just got to boss rush it because we need the feels.
@@LUCKO2022 well the CR and The CRM are still very much operating. And they have connections all over the place. It's just Beale the psycho had to be dealt with quickly.
The CR and the CRM still exists. Why do u think another Beale type of dude taking over isn't possible for one last spin off with the gang reunited?!? I'm just hoping
For the winner aaaaaaand …….STIIIIIIIIIL CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD … RICSHONNE!!!!
the ending was soo rushed they should have added 7 episodes instead of 6 they could of made things better
can i just say RJ is a terrible actor🤣
you'd think they would do a few retakes and tell him how to do it?
Yes, I said that they must’ve been more focused on hiring someone who actually looked like he could be their son than a good actor.
Y’all be nice 😂 he’s just a wittle guy
@@TWDExplainedI said the SAME THING I thought I was crazy I was like you could’ve at least done a couple of takes that couldn’t have been the best one
He’s never met/known Rick. Some kids are more reserved than others. He needn’t be a happy little guy.
I liked episode 6, but there were some odd spots. I also thought that Rick was dead when he was surrounded by walkers and the grenade went off.
There was a few quirks in this, cause of Rushing's.living the explosions.and when rick jumps the table after beal..his prosthetic arm was on the table, but rick had it on when beal, swung his sword at rick.how?.and at the kid reunion, why there was no one else that came running? meaning not hearing the large helicopter landing.and then 3 - 4 others fly over, after.
I think we did see Rick reach for the hand and put it on real quick? Yeah the reunion could have been different - budget I guess.
I don’t get how Thorne figured out that Rick had double-crossed her. And why Rick left his metal hand/arm? Speaking of which, you should all listen to comedian Hanibal Burress’ comedy bit “Metal Arms.”
Everyone saying that the kid is a terrible actor. He said 12 words. Not much you can do with that. Kid literally said "Your the brave man" "I knew you would come back" "I believed".
Body language is also acting. This kid is a 🤖. Just compare him with Judith. She is full of life
@@deathhunter1029 He was hugging Michonne most of the time lol. Not much body language. He stood there for less than a minute talking to Rick a father he never met he was shy and nervous. Lol SMH.
@@deathhunter1029 I mean think about it. He's a little kid this man is a complete stranger to him. It's his father who he has never met, and also has been built up as this larger than life character "The brave man" this kid acted exactly like any kid would it was perfect. I mean your entitled to your opinion as am I, but Judith remembers her dad, she has memories. To RJ this would be like meeting a super hero from your favorite comics to him of course he's going to be shy, and reserved.
He's a kid and has a long bright future to grow in general. An actor can act bad an scene and still be great actor, we can't asume everything from an scene with 12 words but we can't be lying ourselves. This was definitely bad. Not everything was his fault because the lines were very cheap and cheese and could've been tried in more takes to get the best one. So I wouldn't put that much energy on something that its not that deep.
i think the helicopter is going to be how daryl comes home honestly. really enjoyed the episode and the series honestly. the finale was good, i liked it, but i wish they saved some stuff for later
They definitely didn’t spend no money from the budget on writing went all to Rick and the scenery…😂😂😂😂
It's a dream sequence.
Yeah and we also have Shane in the Flashbacks in Season 2 on Hershel's Farm in the Field and we know Joe from the Claimers so Many Flashbacks of the Characters lived and died
10:17 they all would have had grenades that went off in the explosion as well... SMH
I'm so glad we didn't go to a theater to watch this cheese fest. LOL! Just kidding, it was ok, and I'm glad we got the story.
yep - finally got the story - and Rick lives!
@@TWDExplained Rick lives. The most important thing.
Majors general beal in world beyond :major evil in the world no way of fighting him Major general Beal final episode: uuuuhhhhhhhh
Well I liked seeing Rick again. Hopefully there will a season 2. Please!
The timeline is a mess. They would have returned at some point after the 1 year time jump after the Commonwealth arc and Daryl leaves. Maybe there was a significant time after the base destruction and arriving home - for debriefing and what not, and for CRC to make the changes that they did. It would have been nice to have more details about that…
yeah it's hard to get it correct in my head - I can accept they survived the explosion more than I can understand the timeline right now.
Sad part of all of this is that because of way they ended it, we will probably not see them again. If they do show up it will just be special guest for probably one show. I hope if they do the crossover that they are included. I have been saying that you can't watch this without watching Original show since that came out of Scott's mouth. He was just trying to get more people to watch it I guess. Now come on James there is more then just a few things that were unbelievable. I know you are trying to be positive but you just have to tell it like it is or at least thats how I am. The Reunion was only thing I enjoyed and even that probably isn't believable either. They should of cared enough to take more time with it. I am not going to stop watching because I am really curious on how they are going to continue this in Daryl's show. Overall I enjoyed Daryl's show more then this one. Really didn't think I would be saying that but there it is. Ones Who Live & Dead City are below Daryl. I liked them by not as much as Daryl.
I did say in the video if I stand back - I understand. If I did not have this community to think about I might be a harder critic on it. But I am trying to stay positive - lots of negativity these days - here and everywhere. But I can agree about many of the complaints I read.
Daryl is the only one worth watching imo
@@cliffordjordan9577 There with you Daryl & Carol are my favs. I really thought Ones Who Live was going be right up with him but it isn't. Unfortuntely its down with Dead City. I liked these two but I didn't love them.
