Today I take you through the story of how Texas came to be the irradiated state we know it as today in The Walking Dead Universe. #thewalkingdead #rickgrimes #theoneswholive
Correction - Riley was a Sailor not a Marine, thank you to those that pointed this out. I am Canadian, so sometimes my wires get crossed when writing scripts featuring American Armed Forces
Hey, no problem at all! Keep up the great work! All I can say when I make a mistake on a vid is go "eh, learn from this and make the next one better!" You can do this man!
The walking dead seemed so realistic in the first few seassons. But I feel like at some point the writers were like "Does it matter what we write? They are already hooked completly!"
You’re definitely not wrong. That being said there are some things to still take away and enjoy from the franchise, specifically the new spin-offs, which have been pretty solid overall.
right, that’s what made it so fascinating and downright terrifying. It seemed like something that could actually happen. Wish they had kept it that way. Then they bring back a much missed character looooonnng after we had lost interest
Imagine finally getting used to the dead and how to deal with them, getting walls up, growing crops and thinking "life goes on, this ain't so bad" only for a nut job to bring down a nuke😂
The main problem with the Nuke Arc is that its not possible. The Pennsylvania wasn't capable of launching it's missiles. First of all, the ship was beached far from the water, which would have required a massive storm surge that would have had to severally damaged the sub and almost certainly knocked its weapons offline. However, launching a ballistic missile require the launch tubes to be submerged..
There's dead people walking around. Their universe does not have to conform to reality. Fiction is fiction for a reason. Expecting reality from is silly.
@@tabathacarruthers5122 oh wow. Man that totally ruined my immersion of the show with walking corpses. Whats up with peoples inability to separate fiction from reality these days? Always some "uhm acktually" types. Its a TV show.
@@user-pj8yi8mo3z I do agree I was thinking the same thing but teddy Before he died was a nuclear power, i do believe CRM Knows of nukes And nuclear bombs Around US but we’ve seen no such power
@@user-pj8yi8mo3z I do think the CRM is the strongest Right now, but teddy was the most powerful by far, if Morgan hadn’t stoped him he would’ve destroyed all of North America With the nukes☢️
It actually makes sense for the radiation to dissipate. Fallout is the radioactive particles that have been vaporized( glass, concrete,dust, other parts of people) and thrown up into the atmosphere by the bomb. Once all of that settles or falls into the ocean. The area would be perfectly safe to walk around. In fact, after dropping our nuclear test bombs out in the desert, 1945, United States military personnel were able to walk around the area in less than a month. Of course they couldn't spend too long there. But yeah within a few years the place would be completely livable. People live in Hiroshima and nakizaki today.
There’s still radiation present in Japan after the nuclear bombs. When buying green tea there’s issues of where it’s grown because radiation is present in matcha people buy
@@Someth1ngLight are you sure that radiation isn't from the Fukushima plant.... the nuclear plant that went critical less than like 10 years ago? Not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying Nagasaki and Hiroshima are still large and livable cities today. Radioactive fallout from nuclear bombs is all dependent on how high up it's detonated and what type of nuclear bomb it is. Radioactive fallout from a nuclear power plant will last much much longer, cuz we are dealing with much more stable Isotopes. Whereas the elements used in nuclear bombs have much much shorter half lives. That's why it's actually really easy to make a nuclear bomb, it's just really, really hard to get the materials. Cuz not only do you have to have the materials to make a nuclear reactor. But then you have to take those radioactive materials and enrich them to a point where they are incredibly unstable. And only one hit from another unstable element can lead to a chain reaction. This instability causes them to dissipate at much faster rates than radiation from a nuclear disaster from the power plant.
For some reason I got so excited when I saw the CRM knew about the nuke. And the fact that the CRM formed from the Pennsylvania national guard would mean they definitely have access to nukes probably.
@@Swell-Films agreed! I would have much preferred if John got the kill rather than Dakota. It would make sense because then without her leader Dakota would still choose to die.
I feel like people have a drastic misunderstanding of nuclear weapons. They aren't explosions or effects the size of states... they are approximately the size of a medium city. It's idiotic to portray them as making multiple states unlivable. They don't have that level of effect...
@@josefmengele181 This type of bomb is not used, there is no news of such a weapon existing, because in a conflict the time for you, to rehabilitate the area and occupy it is important. In two years the central area of the explosion is already safe , including for reconstruction The nuclear mass of a hydrogen bomb is small, there are kg of nuclear material, to be spread over hundreds to thousands of km2 in the atmosphere.
Fear was a wild and controversial ride. Sometimes it was kinda of strange, but def had some cool characters like both J.D, Al, Morgan for TWD, Strand, Alicia, Troy...
It has been confirmed by the showrunners that Alicia did in fact get in infected from the bite, and that she was able to recover from the infection (after a long period of illness) due to her absorbing a lot of radiation from the blood of one of the radioactive walkers earlier. As we can see in S8 of FEAR, radiation therapy does technically work against the zombie infection, but in (almost) every case the amount of radiation needed would also kill the person you're trying to cure
A deranged serial killer being let loose in a zombie apocalypse sounds like it could've been a good idea. But they could've left out the whole nuke side plot
Alycia reminded teddy of his mom. He knew the world was cruel and when a new one formed he wanted somebody he knew was Strong and Capable. Like alycia who sacrficed herself for her friends.
Crazy thing is if Morgan had not made it to the sub when he did Other places like Alexandria, The commonwealth, Omaha, Portland and The CRM would of been hit by these nukes. That might make Morgan and the rest of the fear characters the most important characters of the franchise because they stopped the earth from becoming uninhabitable and effecting every other show.
@@spongedog0013one there is a range so not another continent other the south america, two 10 warheads took out texas, 20 missiles your talking 200 warheads about half the US but barely the world.
You're not sacrificing honor by planting evidence to secure a conviction for a person you know for a 100% fact is guilty. These scenarios are quite literally a game of chess. There WILL be a winner and there WILL be a loser. It's not a thing of "the justice system will succeed if we just try hard enough" no, there are scenarios that if teddy played his cards right, which he did, he would never legally be able to be caught. That is why the ONLY, the literal ONLY option would have been to plant evidence. That's not sacrificing honor, that's reinforcing it by doing what needs to be done. We saw a similar situation in our own history with Ken Rex Mcelroy where the justice system had failed over and over and over until eventually the citizens took matters into their own hands and did what needed to be done. You earn your honor by doing that. Making the hard choices. That's where honor comes from.
Yes but from johns perspective, he absolutely did, regardless of how you or me see it. He felt such shame that he turned to alcohol, abandoned his family, and the career he built for years. If that’s not a sign of a man who feels he’s lost his honour, idk what is.
I discovered your Chanel a few days ago, and I gotta say keep up the good work my guy your content is really well made and informative your now one of my favourite TWD RU-vidrs out there✌️
Saw your video on the CRM, I’ve seen every piece of twd content nearly and didn’t know half of it. Also could barely bring myself to rewatch the last few seasons of fear for the teddy storyline. Earned a sub
So, is it EVER explained how the Submarine wound up in the middle of a desert, nowhere near the ocean? Like, I know the tides rise and fall, but I don't remember them ever falling THAT much.
He eventually did find peace while not exactly in the bunker he was able to move past his obsession to save june from the stalkers and then once back inside the bunker found the last victim that was haunting him before get rescued by victors men after the bunker collapsed
@@xICEx_wolf then he proceeded to work for Victor in the hopes that he could make a difference. Then he realized he couldn't and tried to make a desperate escape. That escape failed and he was eaten alive. Even if he DID get the baby out.
I haven’t watched fear because my sister watched it for me and was saying how unfortunately long it is so I been catching up on it by you thanks for the videos
Cool recap &links on the TWDU . I stopped watching TWD after the original series now that the ones who live is on. The back story's timeline is good to know..
To be honest, I didn’t watch this part of Fear The Walking Dead. I appreciate you explaining this story. Fear had its moments I’ll say that for sure lol but it was nice listening to this. It would be nice to hear a reference of the nuke in The Ones Who Live but we’ll have to wait
I really enjoyed the Teddy storyline. He was a significant villain and incredibly interesting to watch. Unfortunately, the show completely jumped the shark and never, ever recovered.
One thing I hated about the show was nice and caring people die and the wicked people lived and got worse especially with that Alice want to be main girl and Victor I hated them oh and lame ass morgan who caused more deaths in twd and this show
☆☆☆☆☆@Ty swell☆☆☆☆☆ I want to say thank you. Thank you for making such great walking dead story arc videos. Ive watched everyone of them over the last couple days and they are magnificent! As someone who has been watching faithfuly since episode#1 all those years ago, and has watched the series and spin-offs in their entirety at least 4 times throughout the years, I absolutely loved these vids! This has been an entertaining trip down memory lane for sure. To re-live some of my favorite story arcs in the way you've put them together has been an entertaining viewing experience! I know its hard work but please man, keep making these for all significant story arcs in TWD universe. Id love to see you weave some arcs together between shows and tell the larger overarching story between them while filling in time jumps. I do not usually leave comments complementing the channel creator of vids like this, but in this case I absolutely had to give you your flowers. 👏 👏 WELL DONE! Youve done something really great here! I've liked your vids and subscribed to your channel. I will recomend your channel and vids. I'll also share them in the appropriate places to try and drive some views and subs your way. Thanks again man!
Probably fairly well. They'd be screwed out of some major supplies, but low population density and good amount of guns and lots of nature to take advantage off could be very beneficial. One thing to consider though, is the danger of trying to traverse deep snow with dormant walkers buried down in it. Can imagine trying to wade through 5 feet of snow and getting grabbed by a buried frozen Walker.
If you havent already you should make more recaps of plot points from FTWD. I stopped watching fear after nick got gotted (s1-3 was really good) and ik about this event in texas but couldnt bother to watch fear the walking dead. Great video
I've met Nick Stahl (Riley), and John Glover (Teddy) at a convention in New Orleans, in 2020. And before anyone says that's not possible, due to the pandemic, Louisiana didn't shut down from the pandemic, until March. The convention was in January (the first weekend). Both were nice people. John grew up in my home state, which I thought was cool.
I had heard for years that walking Dead was horrible after season 3, I have to say all the way up until season 8 it was a solid show for me I think it had clear concise plot lines it just had too many characters solo missions wrapped around the main mission to where you forget if they're making moves for themselves or the group
I never got into "Fear the Walking Dead" Forced myself to finish the OG series (the whispers and trash heap people bout lost me but Negan and company made up for it) the new new spin offs have kept me hooked but yes curious to know more bout the CRM nonsense and their mass killings
Teddy works because he has intrinsic traits which are found throughout history in others like him who enthrall those who have lost value and faith in their place within society. Hearing the charismatic well-spoken words of someone who can offer you both tangible and philosophical hope for something better would be hard to resist especially in an already apocalyptic setting such as this. Then you find out he's just another Jim Jones who didn't drink the fruit punch.
All while the main groups (Survivors, Saviors, The Governor's people, The Whisperers etc) have no idea this was going down. Though I'm guessing Rick himself knew at least about the radiation zone.
Nope the Nuclear Disaster in Texas happened in 2014 according to the fear Walking Dead Wikipedia rick blew up the bridge in 2013 the prison and the savior war all happened in 2012 season 2 of the Walking dead happened in between November and December of 2010 and January of 2011 the Wildfire Virus was discovered in April 15,2010 and the World ended in September 10,2010 when operation cobalt ended
Thank you for the synopsis it makes me thankful that I didn’t go on to the rest of the seasons after season three. That would’ve been such a waste of time.
Here’s something. Carol took over a large city with its own militairy right after the fall of the outer areas. Its said in the new season that omaha fell but the video only showed buildings on the outskirts. Also rick and michone seem to know nothing outside of where they are now.
Knowing the Walking Dead, I'm honestly surprised that they didn't try to pull some dumbass "for some reason the zombies were unaffected by the nuke" garbage.
so what about north Texas ? like Dallas and Ok boarder ? there are a lot of lakes and farm land up there. Also I guess the writers didnt do any research on how fall out works . if that many Bombs " shown on the map" went off more than just Tx would be unlivable. Also there are 3 Nuclear power plants in Tx that are pretty big.. I would say making one of those exploded would have been a better story line.
Nuclear plants, even on Chernobyl scale failure, wouldn’t cause that much of an issue (at least American ones that is). It’s actually really cool just how safe those things are. It’s absurd, but entirely understandable lol
Nick Stahl (Riley) is *SUCH* a phenomenal actor. His performance in the "SIN CITY'" motion picture as the titular character of "That Yellow Bastard", alone can stand as a testament to his acting prowess... But his role as "Bobby Kent" in the masterpiece of evil within the True-Crime Horror Film "BULLY" (2001) directed by Larry Clark (Best know for directing 1995's "Kids") and he nails it (as can be said of everyone in that film adaptation).... But if you want to watch ANY of the films I've mentioned??? BE WARNED- they are insanely disturbing and may be extremely traumatic for the thin-skinned (easily offended/emotionally wounded) in it's explicitly graphic and intense themes of violence, ab*se, drug use, murder, & r@p3).... However if you can handle all that in exchange to witness pure visceraly raw, borderline crude/lewd, works of art unprecidented quality cinema
The potential in the slowly developing nation and city states after a zombie apocalypse is really interesting and cool, where old world tech continues to change the landscape. Texas being irradiated, LA being coated in chemicals from the US militaries dying breath as cities that avoided those attacks fortified not just held a couple thousand but hundreds of thousands developing their own cultures is so damn interesting. All super cool. I love the idea of the flag representing three fortresses linked together. But damn is the writing weird. Its almost like the speculative fiction and fanfiction is more interesting than the actual content at this point. Kinda makes me feel like its World War Z (The book ofc) and Fallout had a baby. Maybe we should just have an official history book set like 50 years later or something.
Teddy is by far a top 5 villain right behind names like The Governor and Negan. With a little bit better writing and directing Teddy couldve been a Grade A+ TWD Villain
Confirmed Cities and States that Were Hit by the Nukes: Austin Texas,Houston Texas,Matagorda bay Texas ,Waco Texas,Granville Texas,Beaumont Texas,Port Arthur Texas,lemming Texas,Alexandria Louisiana,Shreveport Louisiana basically the Nukes hit Texas and Louisiana
It’s sad what happened to The Walking Dead universe/franchise. I stopped watching The Walking Dead after they killed off Carl and I couldn’t get past season two of fear. It seems the writers don’t give a shit and it’s just crap what they’re making but if the brain dead mass is like it have at it…..
