ABANDONED Villains: The Proctors Explored | The Walking Dead Universe 

I don’t usually do skits like the one at the end, but I think it conveys my frustration well lol. Hope you guys enjoy!

This show would've been better than the main show if it Dave Erickson never left

The Proctors could have been such amazing long-running villains considering Dave Erickson was a Sons of Anarchy alumnus 😔

The change between creative teams between S3 and S4 was the worse decision made in the shows history and it never recovered from that horrible mistake. They went from an amazing S3 to absolutely dogshit is S4.

Common trend throughout Fear's run. Creative hands keep changing every Season and nobody knows what direction to take. It's like each Season is a whole new show with how loosely connected they are with the rest of the series lmao

I hope the shame of ruining Fear follows Ian and Andrew throughout the rest of their careers

forget the proctors, the real shame is loosing Taqa and the other Native American characters. Those were some good characters.

It always felt like they just didn’t watch the show Wow

Bro it’s honestly CRAZY how hard they fumbled this show after season 3😭😭😭

Troy should have came back with the proctors

The Proctors could & should have been bigger than the Saviors.

Fear The Walking dead lowkey ended after season 3 for me at least because they were all over the place after that😂 The Proctors had so much potential just to be wasted and thrown down the drain, literally in this chase lol but I loved the comic sense you put into this video and the end of the best😂

Erickson DID NOT step down from the show! Gimple was put in charge of the on-screen universe and gave the boot to Erickson as soon as he could. He brought in Shameless & Goldberg to ruin the show, along with bringing over his favorite character Morgan. Think about what that means. Gimple literally killed the entire series under the guise of a "crossover". It ended up being a takeover because he wanted to see more of his favorite character. It's disgusting behavior and, paired with the Carl debacle, tells me he should never be forgiven. I loved Madison & Nick so much. We were robbed of four more seasons worth of great storytelling.

Gotta rub my head really fast like Shane. Dude these villains would have been so awesome in FTWD it’s just sad they got rid of them and the show runner didn’t even watch the show. Tbh FTWD season 1-3 were great but watching the rest were just bad. Great job to on the video

I prefer the Chad Dave Erickson then the simp Ian Goldberg and Andrew Chambliss

The guy who played John Proctor was also a villain on “Mayans MC” on FX. It was about a Mexican Biker gang on the border that traded in drugs ( And a Sons of Anarchy spinoff) that’s just a bit to parallel a story line and may have influenced the change of direction.

Maybe I’m wrong, but if you’re taking the reins from someone, I feel like at the very least professional courtesy should be like “Hey, we should have a smooth transition. Here’s everything that’s happened and what it could potentially lead to” and you should at the very least listen. I hope AMC realize that’s probably why Fear dropped off. Such a drastic change they never really recovered

Just started watching fear for the first time and the shift from season 3 to 4 seems so drastic and off putting

I think they could have gotten away with dropping them if there was a bit of dialogue in season 4 mentioning that John died and there was infighting that led to the destruction of the organization. Is it good? No but it at least gives a reason why they are gone.

The Proctors were my favorite villain group in FTWD despite the fact that they were only in a few episodes. That's how good Erickson's writing was.

Morgan. Thats why, they wanted the star power bs over well written stories

i love the amount of effort into your video and was very fun to watch!

Another great video by Ty Swell

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees John proctor in his dreams every night

These Walking Dead videos are truly great. Keep up the good work!

I loved the whole established apocalyptic trading posts they had and how it was based in Mexico. Realistic they could survive for a long time knowing how mkat building are already reinforced there. Would have been cool to see some more negotiations and interactions with the cartel

Why didn’t they bring back the proctors in season 8 instead of Troy?

I only just found your channel but I already love your recent videos

Abandoning the Proctors was where the show turned to ass. Season 3 was so strong and having the Proctors as a Savior type equivalent would have been amazing for Season 4. Instead, we got long dragged out stories, jumping on crocodiles and a nuclear bomb that made no sense..

I actually was loving fear more than the main show by season 3 and that's probably why Erickson had to go because Scott gimple could see that as well I'm sure 😀. It's a real shame we never got to see what Erickson's version of this show could have been. Goldberg and Chambliss are idiots but I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of Gimple and his incompetence.

Crazy Horse should've stayed, I liked the Proctors and their plan for the Houston electrical grid etc..... def should've kept the proctors ... the Vultures were cheese, the English teacher was horrible

Bro that was awesome

I was fine with Morgan joining Fear but the new showrunners just blew it along with the near-entirety of everything they were there for. It could've been fucking awesome.

Ty leaves the studio for this video, oh my god I’m shocked.

Wasn't the leader of the bike gang a cop in sons of anarchy as well will it be weird if he took the role of a biker gang after learning everything from the sons of anarchy after the apocalypse happened as like a new identity because no one knew his past that'd be a crazy twist 🤘🤔 also amazing content

so sad what happened to fear, it was one of the few shows i actually looked forward to every week. the setting between LA, Water and the Cali/Tijuana border also was a visual treat even if the story was weaker than the main show. because i had grown so discontent with the constant emotional torture and suffering the main show had gotten to at that point and tv during that time just being super obsessed with being dark and gritty.

love the way how you transitioned to tragedy part 😂😂

Very, very well made video! Totally agree the whole way... So sad from season 4, it could have been an awesome show..

Omg I fucking hated the grey look they added pissed me off so much that and how they killed nick off they did this show so dirty

Thank you Swell

TY Swell for president

I’m sorry I was loving this video so much then I realized 11:39 is that yung gravy?

Honestly really happy this storyline was completely abandoned. No way to ruin them like they did Troy. For me personally Fear ended here and nothing after this is canon to Fear or the rest of the Walking Dead. I know those are fighting words but season 4 and beyond are completely unwatchable. Don't care if season 6 was okay, i don't watch tv for okay television.

I've so far only seen Season 1 but I really enjoyed how Fear started; it frustrates me to know it feel apart like this.

Is that Lincoln Potter?

I didn't know the creative teamed changed. I was wondering WTF happened. It was a struggle to finish the show.

I forgot that Fear The Walking Dead was a show or even exsit.

The only way this could ever be redeemed is if the original story of Fear TWD was retold in the comic/Telltale universe (being the same universe). They could do so much more with it, on top of the fact that there were plenty of characters that either left, never returned, or died due to personal obligations, business obligations, creative conflict, and morals from the change in show runners (E.g., Travis could possibly have lived longer in the comic universe for all we know). Hopefully Dave Erickson and Robert Kirkman think about taking it this direction.

Stopping kids from saying first

There are so many characters on fear the walking dead that seem to have vanished without explanation like tobias from season 1 i think alot of people who watched fear the walking dead didnt really care about certain characters and what happened to them

The Ranch to the Proctors/ Dam storyline from Season 3 is just as good as any Season of TWD!

Reminds me of Bartertown.

SWELL FILMS FEEDING US GOOOOOD

I am laughing so hard hahahaha great ending

I noticed that. They just disappeared right along with Maddison. Enter the magic Damn.

Would have been cool if there was a SOA/Fear crossover.... I'd still watch it, if made today.

I'm still wondering what happened to crazy dog and qaletaqa. I don't think we ever got closure about them.

lol 😂 you’re a legend mate.

Say what you will but I thoroughly enjoyed the Morgan & Friends Adventure Hour.

Always thought proctor John was Dwight

Lowkey love your vids bro 😂

FTWD died after the Dam exploded. Everything after should have been Madison's dream while drowning then reset it back to how it should have been,

Wait wtf, never in my wildest dreams I would have imagined they would make a location based on my home city of Mexicali. The hell lul

As far as the damn, didn’t that other Mexican lady take over the water distribution after the proctors blew up… cuz she was starting to get a bit stingy with it herself it seemed like…. But I think we’re expected to assume the proctors blew up on the damn.. as far as the cohorts who weren’t there, again we assume they just started doing their own things , just kept living life as they pleased instead of how the masta told them too..

In season 8 as part of Troy's group you can see a couple proctors

What is it with Ray McKinnon and motorcycle clubs?

Ty you kinda look like a young John Proctor ….😮 another time loop??

7:51 So basically scavengers

They didint even sound alike bad guys!

I know seasons 1-3 weren’t the best but I really wanted the original writer to have more time to work out the story. lol Nick getting Troy wasted in season 3 was hilarious. I wish they kept on the original plan for this series.

Good funny video!

The should have focused more on the Proctors and less on fake death reunions.

I hope the Proctors return in another spinoff like tales of the walking dead

If Darabont and Erickson had stayed...

I never got past season 3 on fear I don’t know why I just got bored of the characters I guess

I had forgotten this storyline. The Proctors just weren't it for me.

This is such a depressing trend in the modern film industry. Massive creative projects are handed over to people who do not care and are not invested in the thing they are creating. It's hard to let the creative juices flow when you don't really care about something. That's become so evident in recent years, with more than just The Walking Dead. The Halo showrunners are proud to have never played the games and knew next to nothing about the story or lore. Why even take a project if you don't care about it? Why ruin it for the people who DO care?

The damn blew up at the same time the CDC did

In my opinion, this show was so much better than the original... It sucks so bad that they changed the writers.

The writers of fear failed us

To be fair if they watched the show I don’t think it would have been any better I just think they not good writers.😅 Maybe the at least could have come up with a cohesive storyline to continue instead of coming up with a new one each season. The lader seems easier to me.

Man, no wonder why the show crashed after season 3.

Four?

I think Shane Walsh deserves a video for himself... ;-)

As Season 3 ended, so did the show. The quality of the series went from Pretty good to Absolute garbage in the space of 3 episodes.

Well safe to say dave was the better choice

Lmao this video is a masterpiece

Ian GOLDBERG 🤓

Cool

All y’all kinda glazing season 1-3 it was different and it was good for that but season 4 was sooooo good one of the best season in twd universe

You look a little like John Proctor

What a disaster. Chambliss and Goldberg were really bad at their job. Glad I gave up on this shit-show tbh.

the ending was really bad. I didn't lik the padre thing at all

Just recently watched this show whoever made the first 3 season did a fantastic job rest of the show is a waste of time lol started to get boring once that bomb went off

The show went from better than walking dead to worse than z nation

People are quick to hate the new shoruners and I agree they didn't handle everything the best they could have....but I also blame Dave Erickson's ego. He wantsd to sabotage S4 as much as he could nefore he left which is something he admitted to with Troy. The only reason he killed him off was bwcouse he "didn't want anyone to ruin him". And there is evidence to prove he sabotaged S4 further: 1. The only person we see survive the dam is Madison. There are a few reasons; Nick wanted off so the finale was his initial send off. But Fear's new crew had some masters of negotiations and convinced him to do on more season. We also know Mad Dog and Walker didn't come back becouse they wanted to work with Dave and no one else. I truly do believe the reason he didn't show everyone aside for Nick,Walker and Mad Dog was becouse he HOPED more people would not continue for S4 and he wanted to give them an exit IN THIS SEASON. Which is pretty scummy 2. He intentionally had all the big shots in the Proctors arrive at the dam and blow up without showing the survive so the new crew had to either abandon the plotline,had them all survive AN EXPLOSION WITH NO CONSEQUENCES or introduce even more important leaders at which point you undermine John Proctor's role and ruin his character. Again. Scummy 3. Killing of Troy which I explained All 3 of these actions made the new showrunners not respect ANY plots set uo by Dave Erickson. And I don't blame them. When someone shows you no respect why should you show any towards that person? He wanted them to fail so instead of playing into his game they did their own thing. And by the way 4A turned out I'd say they had a lot of potential. 4B is the part I have issues with. But 4A was as close to perfect as it can be. And I applaud them for it.

Yeah, the show went MASSIVELY downhill after session 3 💩💩💩

Third.

The leadership died and the rest of the organization descended into infighting without a strong leader. Solved it
