Walking dead VR E3 trailer. Partially lost media?

There was a video about Overkill's the walking dead VR experience,where some play testers played live on E3. You played as a guy in a wheelchair shooting walkers with a shotgun.

It seems that this video has been taken off YouTube?

IMO Rick went through the most tragedies šŸ’”

I just finished watching TOWL and it just got me thinking how much Rick went through and how much he lost throughout TWD storyline. Honestly, my heart aches for him

Everybody ā¤ļø Morgan

I know he has his moments and I know he has a lot of haters butā€¦

Iā€™ve watched the main TWD and now Iā€™m on S4 of FTWD and Morgan makes friends and gains the admiration and friendship of everyone he comes across.

Which villains had made the least sense or dumbest & shouldnā€™t have happened?

It could be from the main show or any one of the spin-offs. Short lived or became the main villain arc for a season or two.

I think making Victor from Fear the villain made no sense. I get he wants things to be done a certain way and I get we mightā€™ve gotten an explanation but damnā€¦. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø I know calling him a villain might be a stretch for some but still fit the criteria for me.

Whatā€™s the best arc for you in the Main Series?

Me personally, I like the prison arc the most. It introduces the Governor to us as well as the return of Merle. Also has some of the best moments in the series as well.

Whatā€™s yours?

When did Rick get his boots?

At the beginning of the show he wore black shiny boots that don't look like bull hide, so I wonder when he actually got the Justin 2222s and what did they look like when he got them.

So, Iā€™m Way Behindā€¦

Not sure if thereā€™s many people in this sub who havenā€™t seen it this far yet, but I included the flair as a warning of a spoiler anyway. Personally, Iā€™m just starting to catch up with the show after a couple yearsā€™ hiatus of not watching. Iā€™m on Season 9, episode 1 and watched Ezekiel propose to Carol. What made me burst out into laughter is that he managed to somehow have a diamond ring on him in order to propose. Where, in all the madness of a zombie apocalypse, would Ezekiel have found a diamond ring? I donā€™t know if thereā€™s something I missed while watching previous seasons? I know itā€™s a small detail, but just thought Iā€™d share it because it seems like an unrealistic little detail of the show. I know about a year and a half have passed between the end of Season 8 and Season 9, so I guess itā€™s not totally far-fetched that they would have come across a jewelry shop at some point, and he could have grabbed one he liked, especially with their scavenging taking place in the city and all, but I donā€™t know. Maybe someone can enlighten me. Just wanted to share.

Governor n Negan

This has likely been played out before but what happens if the Governor and Negan run into each other? I'm don't mean 1:1 but the communities. On first thought, I would think they would clash and the Saviors would overrun and absorb the Governors community.

Base/camp question?

Yo welder here, jus watching the series throughout the seasons and I wondered if there were welders/welding machines there too, would the camps walls (Alexandria or Atlanta) were heavily reinforced by being welded, and thicker materials would some people still be alive or longer arcs. Just random question lol thanks

Did everyone who needs to take medications get screwed during the apocalypse.

Like diabetics who need insulin, people who need thyroid meds, etc. Did they all just die?

My first time watching

This is my first time watching the series. Iā€™m currently on S3E4. Am I the only one who thinks Lori deciding to have a baby is beyond selfish. And Rick wanting her to have it is even more selfish. ? In this episode Iā€™m at the end where they performed her csection. And I think Lori is absolutely stupid. Talking about she canā€™t loose her baby, but she does because she dies. And how could she be so dumb and not think about how the baby is gonna eat. She needs to be alive to nurse the baby. There isnā€™t formula laying around. Why they didnā€™t think about this. They were just like, screw it. Iā€™m pregnant letā€™s have this baby. With no thought to how the any cries is gonna attract zombies. A baby will slow them down. Thereā€™s no formula, or breast milk since she decided to sacrifice herself. Thereā€™s no diapers or wipes. How is the baby going to learn fine motors skills and get tummy time if theyā€™re constantly on the run? Idk. As soon as she asked Glenn to get a pregnancy test, she pissed me tf off. Cuz u out too busy fuckin and wanting to feel another man dick cuz u thought ur husband was dead, and ended up pregnant. Idk. I think itā€™s beyond reckless and careless. On her side mainly. But also Shane and Rick cuz why yall no pulling tf out?

What do you think would be the best possible gear for this universe?

I think the best gear would be a good set of chain mail, especially in the later seasons. It would be pretty much bite proof, and later on once most people ran out of ammo and started using melee it would be able to stop most attacks.

Why Rickā€™s Behaviour in The Ones Who Live Was Not Out of Character

I see lots of people who havenā€™t seen The Ones Who Live are now seeing it on Netflix. One of the biggest critiques Iā€™ve heard is in regard to Rickā€™s cold behaviour towards Michonne and telling her to go home without him. People believe this was out of character for Rick and that it felt weird. However, when you take a look at what transpired over the long time period, it makes complete sense to me.

Rick was nearly dead on the shore back by the bridge. Before he pulled that trigger and blew it up, he was certain he was going to die. All of a sudden, he wakes up at the CRM and cannot leave. He tries to escape four times; the fourth time, he even cut his own hand off because thatā€™s how desperate he was to get home to Michonne and Judith. That failed. He would dream about Carl to motivate him and keep him sane, but then one day, he began to forget what his own son looked like.

Then, he joins the CRM Military to work his way up the ranks to then try and escape. During this training period, he is still trying to get back home to his family. Then when he tries to escape, he learns from Thorne that Okafor knows where Alexandria is and upon realizing what he did to Atlanta and Los Angeles, Rick is then truly broken. Knowing he canā€™t return to his family, he begs Okafor to kill him and put him out of his misery. He is talked into staying alive and continue his duties at the CRM. This is when he truly realizes that he will never see his wife and daughter again.

One year later, Rick is suddenly reunited with Michonne. At first, he is in shock. The woman he missed and literally cut his own hand off to try and get back to, is right in front of him. Is this real? Or just one of his dreams? As reality sunk in, he realized itā€™s real. While relieved, deep down, it terrified him. He already lost her once and that destroyed him. If he loses her again, thatā€™ll be the end of him.

So to me, Rickā€™s behaviour was 100% understandable considering the traumas he endured during his captivity. Anyone else agree?

Would you survive the apocalypse?

Every time I watch the walking dead I wonder if I would ever be able to do what I see them do. I doubt I would survive in an apocalypse because I pass out most times I see blood, which makes it kind of funny that I love TWD. If I did somehow survive it would be because I found great people that love me and can protect me.

What are your favorite moments from season 1 of TWD?

Honestly, the whole beginning of the pilot episode where Rick is walking around and it's so quiet just sets up everything perfectly, you don't see anyone else besides the walker girl that he encounters. The atmosphere was so eerie and you immediately felt like you were in a post-apocalyptic world and I didn't know what to expect so I was getting nervous. I also liked the entire CDC storyline and it felt very dramatic at times, but it was done so well. My jaw was wide open when the building exploded at the end of the season. What were your favorite moments?

Rewatching season 11 crying like a baby. (SPOILERS)

I canā€™t. Itā€™s just so beautiful but so heartbreaking at the same time. Seeing Negan genuinely feel remorse and guilt for Glenn makes me love his character. In my opinion he is a good person because he actually made an effort to become who he is now. I understand Maggieā€™s pain but and she has a right not to forgive him, but seeing Maggie let go of the pain was a huge step.

Seeing Rosita go was genuinely heartbreaking but I think she has one of the most beautiful deaths. Surrounded by her family and friends, and knowing that Coco is going to be taken care of.

I watched Dead City when it first came out but Iā€™ll be rewatching it. Sorry for the long post, I just thought Iā€™d give it a bit of appreciation.

This show is beautiful and although it has its flaws, itā€™s carried me through really rough times and I canā€™t wait to see what else will come of it. Thank you for reading this.

Carl could have left the show and still lived.

I don't love Carl's death. It felt very forced bc the actor was getting too old and wanted to leave the show and buy a house or whatever.

But with him still being a young teen at the time of death, I think they could have easily done an actor replacement after the 6 year time skip and had it feel believable.

Henry could have still taken over Carl's parts like having a relationship with Lydia and all that and Carl could have just been in his 20s and they could have had him do his own thing.
