There was a Variant Walker in season 1 episode 2 "Guts" a Walker used a brick/rock to break through the glass doors at the store they were in when Andrea was talking to Rick about the Mermaid necklace. Teddy bear girl in episode1 at the gas station was also a Variant, she picked up the teddy bear and ran at Rick. Morgan's wife can also be a Variant because she knows how to open doors by turning the door knob, most Walkers would just pound on the door or slam there body into it.

@Father_Daniel 3 месяца назад

Yes they did but in season 1 Frank Darabont was the showrunner and they hadn't quite established all the exact rules of what the Walkers can and cannot do. They weren't variants they just weren't established yet then in season 2 all that went away

@SuzMordsith 3 месяца назад

They wouldn't have been so surprised by the whisperes if they were getting used to the variants in earlier seasons.

this is precisely it, it would take away how special the whisperers saga begun.

Yup I 100% agree and we also wouldn’t have gotten the awesome scene where Aaron and Lydia still have ptsd from the whisperers and think they are still attacking them when those variants show up at the end of season 11

I’ve been saying for years that the idea of ‘variant’ Walkers is goofy and feels like a last-ditch effort due to them running out of compelling storylines. The unfortunate truth is that they should’ve ended the franchise already. They have no concern anymore for maintaining a tight narrative, and are just trying to squeeze whatever remaining cash they can out of the franchise.

@THEGOVERNOR117 3 месяца назад

They’ve basically just copied resident evil zombies they even have the jumpsuits on and black eyes

@lui8418 3 месяца назад

At this point since they’re going down the comic book route with the ones who live, they should just reunite Rick with Carol and the old group for a good moment then have rick killed off similarly like in the comics he becomes a martyr. The community drives because of Rick bam story ended………..But Money might stop that and we’ll watch Rick fight aliens next

@TheModernPioneer 3 месяца назад

@@lui8418 I would partially disagree due to the fact that I wasn’t satisfied with Rick’s ending in the comics either.

@lui8418 3 месяца назад

@@TheModernPioneer I can’t disagree with you in your opinion there are two reasons why I go with this 1. It stops the current writers from further butchering The Walking Dead tv series for the sake of getting paid also It brings a shock factor for people to find out after years of not watching The Walking Dead that Rick is dead probably be a very big episode that will break the Internet. 2. Ricks death meant something in the comics people united to make ricks dream a reality and so they did, and it made sense. It showed the people that death is unpredictable and he can even take out the main character unpredictably in the TV series by season nine Rick is presumed to be dead and yet nobody Unites to make Carl’s dream a reality they just go on about their own thing and end up leaving it just made no sense. I felt like lazy writing but hopefully for my sake and the ones who live they kill off Ricky similarly to how he did in the comics.

@Reavezz 3 месяца назад

If you don’t like the franchise anymore then just don’t watch it, why do you care if there’s still millions of people who love the franchise? Variant walkers aren’t goofy at all, it’s actually pretty close to what happens to deadly viruses and pathogens in real life. As they get spread around farther and have survived longer, they also adapt to their surroundings and host availability to further their cause of infecting any living hosts. Sounds like you just don’t like the show anymore personally which means just don’t watch anymore instead of trying to speak for an entire fan base of millions of people. Not even the nocbro guys agree with you they like variants

@jeremyscungio16 3 месяца назад

There were already kinda "variants" in 2010. Watch those zombies from season 1 and 2 and they walk fast/run, climb, and can use some objects. He should've put his foot down then

@blakematthews6374 3 месяца назад

Yea, that was definitely just the standard “dumb” zombies not being created as the standard yet. By the season 1 and 2 rules, the zombies were all unpredictable and would behave however the writers wanted them to for that scene. They retconed that into being “variants” 10 years later but that was never the plan from the start.

@Holt344Gaming 3 месяца назад

@bobmessier5215 3 месяца назад

The space spore concept was first hinted in George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead". I thought the variant concept revived the audience, in which the dead was starting to get predictable. This was first explored in Romero's "Land of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead". I liked the variants of "Daryl Dixon" and I can see how they could appear in "The Ones Who Live" in the future, if Carol rescues Daryl and returns to the Commonwealth, followed by the French scientist government and an army of variants. The CRM is not dead, either. There is Portland and if "World Beyond" is still pertinent to the story, there could be a connection to France, to Albany, to NYC where Negan is at, via the port city in Maine. It could work if the writers work harder to connect all the spinoffs. I think fans want to see Judith, Father Gabriel, Princess, Aaron, Ezekiel, Eugene and Mercer again.

@lymenaid 3 месяца назад

I really missed you guys talking about the comics. Reading the comics really brings me back to my early days of secondary school (middle school) when I got into it thanks to my old art teacher. I would LOVE to hear your guys' opinions on the differences between the comic and the show. For me, I think the earlier changed really worked, like the addition of Daryl and Merle, and the CDC, but the further it went on the less it worked in my mind.

@bktiger9461 3 месяца назад

YES! I like how you guys break down the TV show, I want more comparisons to the graphic novels. What Ifs, which worked better, etc.

@pieck5460 3 месяца назад

Well to be fair i was not sold on how Kirkman ended the whisperer arc in favor of shoehorning the commonwealth arc which is subpar in both the comics and show, he shouldn't be surprised that the showrunners and or AMC started using ideas that weren't from the comics since they are planning on milking it as long as possible. Varients can 100% work despite them not being present for the majority of the series but we need the writing around them to be significantly better which I'm not sure they're capable of, it's like they don't know how to have a new threat without killing them a few episodes later or teasing them constantly or underutilizing them. The ones who live had ZERO varients WHY? That alone could've elevated the last 2 episodes.

Walker Jenny Jones (Morgan's undead wife) MIRACULOUSLY remembers how to TURN a doorknob !?. In episode 2 "Guts" we actually SEE some zombies PICKING UP objects. As much as people like to deny it, their appearance was teased YEARS ago !!.

@Father_Daniel 3 месяца назад

@@DukeJimbobI left a similar comment below but it is true they were not variants. The exact rules for the Walkers weren't quite set in stone in season 1. Greg nicotero even verified it in Talking Dead saying I wish I could say we hinted at them back then but it's just not the case

@ivanrasmussen8875 3 месяца назад

I understand focusing on survival and the characters but I think we're to a point in the story where they've done just about all they can with that. We already love the characters now give us some cool action and things we haven't seen before so personally I'm all for the variants. It's something fresh, exciting, and adds that level of fear back into the show.

And it should’ve been linked into World Beyond are their testing on Walkers & also the French angle even if just briefly

@ghostme1635 3 месяца назад

Technically in Day of the Dead. Romero's 3rd film. (The movies that Kirkman loved) There is a zombie that was smarter and pulling a trigger and aiming the gun ...So I guess that would be considered a variant. But it really doesn't mean Kirkman ever wanted that. So anyways. Great video guys.

@np0624 3 месяца назад

Let's remember that in Season 1 the walkers also picked up rocks and climbed fences and steps. Morgan's wife climbed the steps to the house, tried to look through the peep hole and turned the doorknob. The walker at the department store used a brick to get in, then one later climbed the fence trying to get to Glen & Rick as they ran to the van covered in walker guts lastly they climbed the stairs to the rooftop where Merle was. It's like Season 11 brought them back for throwbacks to Season 1.

Andrea did get ploughed by the Governor Also zombies using tools is pretty lame. That takes away from the terror of the whisperers in my opinion. Thats what made the whisperers so creepy, to see a zombie...holding a fuckin knife, then you realize it's not a zombie! Climbing and shit is pretty cool, and if they run that's awesome, but don't have them bend over and pick up a fuckin rock. That's the first thing I noticed in season 1 back in the day that I was like "oh this is stupid now" when the zombie was hitting the window with a rock. I was able to overlook it and still like the show though
