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 had 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.
@@Swell-Films Can you do a short on Tyreese's Death Sea 5, Ep9. I sware the Director who worked on this episode should have gotten a raise. From the beginning where Father Gabrial giving his sermon thinking it was for Beth, was actually Tyreese. And Michonne speaking to Glen and Rick about wanting more. Man that Episode moved me and has to be one of the saddest deaths aside Glen and Abaraham.
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.
I've met a few. I'd like to say there is always a mask, but they say most are like the first one I met. Generous, polite, even often kind. But soulless. I wasn't in his victim MO, but I'll never forget those eyes. A clear blue, almost like a glacial lake. But nothing was there and you could tell the water was poisonous. The other evil people were generally more threatening, but he was by far the most dangerous.
Maggie's story reminds me on excerpt from Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". I wasn't surprised that it never made it into the movie, although the basement full of human cattle did.
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?
@@Shannon-vv6rr yeah but she JUST turned, nothing was rotten and the baby was fine, but that woman was dead for however long, and the baby simply died because of the lack of nutrients and turned
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.
@@bobbywhite5319- Are you sure? It's a deep rabbit hole. RU-vid won't let me give you much so you're going to have to strip on your seatbelt.*Gary Michael Heidnik kidnapped, graped, and to*tured blk women starting in 1986, keeping them in a hole in his basement in Phily.*
Maggie’s Story is twisted and Sad-it’s serves as a cautionary tale of what women may go through in a broken down world by twisted men. That gave me chills.
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!
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...
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
the second story i hear that before, it was a creepypasta named "Lolita Slave Doll" its a creepypasta from like 2008, and its the same, they fabricate the slaves
Incredible video!!! A quick 9 minute video covering multiple stories just touched upon in the franchise is amazing. Great format. Would love to see more of this. I completely forgot that Maggie story
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 👏👏👏
Thanks for making the great content dude! I also really like your vids you’ve done lately on things like the original Fear arc plans, don’t see much of that type of content around so it’s nice to find such an original channel about a topic that’s been done to death (pun intended 😅)
Thanks for covering the 3rd story. I always wondered about it. But in my own opinion, Salazar's plan could have backfired horribly on himself and his family.
Kinda did, it got allot of innocent people killed plus the ex-wife of the husband (who's name I forget). So essentially they went to rescue three people and got everyone killed for it.
I am really, REALLY enjoying your ongoing series about the 'unseen/untold' stories that have been glimpsed on TWD; I have wondered about many of these stories myself, and I appreciate your analyses. Please keep them coming!
I had no idea about the third story because World Beyond was the one instance I wasn't strong enough to tolerate watching something past episode one lol. So thank you for covering it. And absolutely a follow-up would be amazing. I don't know if Maggie's story or the 2000 people turning to zombies was worse.
CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS: -Crighton did die and didn't turn: He died at just the right moment, just when the apocalypse was beginning but before the virus had infected Creighton's body -Since Eastman imprisoned Creighton in his secluded cabin and watched him starve for weeks cut off from the outside world he was unaware of what was going on: Eastman found no peace or closure upon getting his revenge so he went to Atlanta to turn himself in and confess to what he had done only to find the city in ruins and that the entire nation had already fallen (this was right after Operation Cobalt) which is how he found out about what was going on -Eastman managed to kidnap Crighton in broad daylight from a highway where he was on a supervised prison work detail because he still had friends working as COs (corrections officers; that is, prison guards) who were his friends and we're sympathetic and hated Crighton for what he did and wanted to help Eastman get his revenge so they told him when it was the right time to snatch Crighton and turned a blind eye when he did by manufacturing some bullshit excuse for them to be absent from their posts (such as allowing a fight between 2 other inmates to take place in the opposite place of the area giving them an excuse to go there and leave Crighton unguarded for several minutes) -Eastman renounced to all killing after his murder of Crighton's brought him no peace and only made him feel worse; he decided afterwards to refuse killing anyone and would have refused to kill Crighton again if he had a chance even though he killed his only daughter and wife and destroyed his life; furthermore, Eastman decided all life is precious even that of the most heinous criminal and that he would not only not kill Crighton if he had him in front of him but would also protect his life
OooOoh this is eerily Wonderful. Well Done👏👏👏👏 I had to do a double take...Penn Badgley LOL, I was like, I don't remember him in it😂, Great Reference YoU😉 No campfires / camping for me this weekend now LOL🔥🏕️ Excellent, Keep these types of videos coming, you need a L❤️VE Button! 🙌💎
Funny how Akido is absolutely useless in self defense versus another person but could help in a zombie apocalypse. Still won’t help you against the people of the wasteland and people are far more dangerous in TWD universe.
So much could have worked. Mini stories aren't shit done right. You do the tank guys. Shit, how good was Terminus? That story is excellent. But no. Darrabont wanted it. *Sighs
