    My biggest gripe with the early Fear seasons is that we should have gotten more from the couple days of the virus going global, we only had about 1 epsode with that, and then a quick timejump to when the military already had taken over and society had already ended. But, despite that I still thoroughly enjoyed the first couple seasons of Fear, and little did we know the dumpster fire that would take over in season 4.

      Probably one of my biggest disappointment with the entire franchise is how this turned into a COMPLETE different show after season 4. Absolute garbage

      @tabathacarruthers5122 5 месяцев назад +1

      I understand the fall happening quickly in major cities like Los Angeles and Atlanta. So many people die per day. They could've set it in a more rural area where it wouldn't have happened so fast. Like the pilot of the original taking place in Rick's hometown. Less walkers there. But then skipped to Atlanta where there were tons.

    I enjoyed the unique locations and many of the characters established in the first 3 seasons. Nick was a character I didn’t initially think I could get behind, but his excellent character development and the job done by the actor made me quickly change my opinion. It takes a bit of mental gymnastics to find value in Travis’s untimely death, but for me it was a good reminder of the ever present danger in the world of TWD. He didn’t get a grand heroic death, he was just brutally killed for no good story reason, which feels more realistic for such an apocalypse. Just my two cents. Cheers.

    • @etienne8110
      @etienne8110 2 месяца назад

      Nick is single handedly carried by the actor. The writing wasn t particurlarly good.
      The mother and daughter were just poorly done especially later on. It s like the writers just gave up on them in season 2, not knowing what to do with them.

    Def would have liked to see more of fall of society but s1-3 were pretty good exspecially s3! It's a shame the show wasn't better because they had a great cast. Even after we lost Travis, Nick etc we got Morgan, John Dory, and June plus a few more really great actors. Just a shame they didn't give them a better story after s3. Except for s6, i actually really liked that season with the end is the beginning group, Virginia and the pioneers, and the Morgan Jones is dead story line.

    fear shouldve been way longer in LA. Shouldnt have just been about the Madison family.

    I'm one of the weirdo fans of the TWD universe that in some ways likes FTWD just a little bit more than the OG show. Yeah after season 3 the show kinda got.....less enjoyable, but overall I still really liked the show even though it got kinda silly near the end. One thing that really pissed me off about the later seasons of the show was when they changed the theme music. I loved how it wasn't really music that they used as the shows theme. Travis' kid, Chris, was unbearable though. I wish they had killed him off in season 1 rather than killing his mom off.

    I wish Travis stayed honestly. Tbh I would say season 4 is upthere to. I thought it was pretty cool when Morgan entered the show. Tbh I wonder if there would be any need for Morgan to cross over if Travis hasn't died. Thats a video u should consider making since the shows over. What if Travis never died. I remember u did one for Shane not to long ago I think.

      @@TWDExplained yea. He hated Troy. He would've probably died alot sooner then season 8. He would've died in season 3. But yea Travis not dying would've likely changed alot. I could be wrong but Travis staying could have ment Madison dying. Or Morgan never having that cross over. But really I think they've should have done it like this. He had another movie. Avatar. Madison left in season 4 and stayed gone for almost the rest of the SERIES. They should have done something similar for Travis. He still gets shot. But just in the neck. His stomach idk about. Idk if that was a shot or a bite. Eather way that never happens. Anyways he falls out of the chopper and the chopper is just low enough that he survives. Someone saves him he survives and Madison still returns in season 7. Theres a time jump. And Travis returns in season 8. Travis returning for the final episodes would be pretty dope.

I really like twd and I'm on season 5 of fear and so far season 1 and 4 are the only ones I like again so far, I find it's hard for me to stay interested and to start watching again with fear. I'm hoping it gets better or more interesting.

      AS a huge fan of TWDU - I cannot say I like S4-8 much at all. Sure a character or two was cool (Ex John Dorie) but that does not overpower the terrible story/writing. I do love the actors and most characters - but 4-8 was a show runner problem. I would suggest, Jeremy, maybe just watch S8 finale - it is hard to get through - but it'll wrap up who lives and dies and where everyone ends up.
