What do YOU think would happen if Dale survived? Would you prefer if he did? Do you agree with the timeline I've created? What other characters do you want me to make a 'What If' on? Let me know down below!
Dale said it himself "I may not have what it takes to last for long, but that's ok. At least I can say that when the world went to shit I didn't let it take me down with it." Dale was heavily rooted in his values, and he stood unshaken until the end.
You have to be more flexible in your values when you have family and kids to in order to protect them.dale was free to accept the consequences of his actions only on him.
He was stupid af there is no morality in a zombie apocalypse the true monsters come out that way of thinking will get you killed or a knife in the back by wolf in sheep’s clothing
true and after his death hershel became my new favourite as he stepped into his shoes. After Hershel died there never was another character I could emphasize with like that again. It felt like from S5 on they just completely abandoned the realistic survivor aspect focusing on interesting compelling characters and instead focused entirely on how weird and over the top they can make the antagonists. I binge watched the entire series a few months ago for the first time and you can literally feel the immense tone switch, difference in character writing and overall quality decline between S1/2 - 3/4 - 5 - 6/....
If Hershel takes T-Dog's death, doesnt that mean during the sickness more people could have died? Maybe even Glenn? Cus Hershel was the main reason some of them survived and Dale isnt a doc
Dale's death was perfectly timed imo. In season 2 our group went from humans to survivors who'd do what's necessary to survive. For a long time Shane represented this cruel survivor and Dale was the fair and good but vulnerable moral compass. You couldn't know which one would win. Does this broken world change us or can we stay ourselves? By the end of the season Rick had to kill his best friend and other people too. This answered the question. Dale was the moral compass who choose to stay human. His death was the last milestone that finalised where this was going. He had to die or go with the stream and become someone else which we know would've been out of character. His death brought a darker tone as well as helped the story progress.
I’ve watched all 11 seasons of TWD 5 times since 2019 which is like 1k+ hours i believe. Dale is definitely in the top 10 of my favorite characters from the entire show.
If each of the 177 episodes were approximately 45 minutes long, then that's 7,965 minutes or 133 hrs! And I can't even begin to imagine how many times I've watched the entire show, every episode lol. And of course, that doesn't include FTWD, TWB, Tales of TWD, and webisodes. It's pretty crazy how much time us fans have invested in TWD universe ❤
@@ashfordguray1011 Hey pal!👋👋, listen friendo, when I saw your comment, I started immediately touching myself, hope I can touch you next. Over and out!😳
Dales death was the 1st one i rolled my eyes at. The execution of it. The walker that killed Dale had superhuman strength to completely tear and stretch someone open like that.
Awesome video! Dale running off with Andrea and meeting Michonne after the farm house is perfect. He definitely would have stayed near Andrea during the downfall of herschel's farm
What really gets me about Dale’s death, is everyone stands around him crying as they watch him lay there on the ground all torn up. Then you look at Shane, someone that Dale really fought with time and time again. Shane alluded to threatening to kill Dale to his face, yet even he really seemed bothered by his circumstances, pacing back and forth rubbing his head like he often did when something was bothering him.
I think Hershel wouldve died on the farm. But I think Tyreese would die in his place (like Tyreese dies in the comics) but Dale i think Dale would die in Tyreese's place i think he wouldve adopted Lizzie and Mika alongside Carol. After he is bitten As he gives up. Not wanting to live in a world like this. He sees Andrea alongside everyone else important to him (Maybe his wife Irma ideally for me) and then as he tells Bob to turn off the radio he dies. But I like this outcome too
I always loved how level headed he was and he was the ONLY one of the group who stayed mentally stable and was very reasonable, my fav character other than Negan or s5 rick
He was too reasonable for the world the show depicts. He was beginning to become a liability to the group because civilized reactions just won't work in that scenario. So, he had to either die or something would have had to happen to harden him to the reality he was in, or he would have had to leave. Maybe the Terminus experience would have done it. That would do it if anything would.
I don't know if this is true but I think originally that Hershel was going to get Dale's death in S2 before Jeffrey left because of what happened with Frank Darabont. Another what if is what if Dale in the show got his comic death. This was a really good video though and it does fit for this what if story.
You're partly correct about Hershel. It was originally planned that Randall would kill Hershel (while trying to escape.) However, the showrunner (Mazzara) thought that it was a gratuitous death, that wasn't needed at that point. He never did confirm whether Dale's death saved Hershel.
Whenever I see a George Drake video. Especially a what if video, I must click and watch. For George Drakes will is absolute, and his content is fucking awesome.
Idk about anyone else, but I'd like to see a video about how things might be if Merle survived. I feel like he had a good death, but it would have been interesting if he'd stayed alive and became part of the group. He had some good interactions with the prison group in the short time he was there, and they definitely could've built on that.
I first watched TWD in my living room with my parents when I was like 7 or 8 and I would watch some of the scenes and not really pay attention so I thought Herschel was Dale the whole time lol
What if Sophia survived to Season 11? And for clips, maybe use newer clips from other shows/movies her actor is in to show her aging throughout the video and using a green screen.
If she had itd be really hard to figure out who shed be. Her death in the main series was important character development especially for Carol and Daryl. Not to mention the Greene family. On top of that we are talking about SO much more screentime and character development for her then she ever got previously, Season 2 Carl and S7 Carl are night and day different characters for example
I like how t-dog survives in this timeline, probably replacing noahs death in the future. Though t-dog could maybe prevent bob from getting bitten or maybe even save tryese.
Damn this video is very well made, an interesting perspective! Love your videos man! Although I love Hershel and still think he should’ve lived in this scenario
I’ve been recently rewatching the walking dead and season 2 is still my favorite season. Dale is a big part of that. I think if Dale had been behind walls like at Alexandria, he definitely would’ve survived. He reminds me of Deanna with wanting a civilization and all.
This was a great what if scenario, this is something that could have actually happened if dales actor didn’t leave, I really wish he had lasted maybe another season or two.
I think Dale would've hardened by the beginning of S4. You forget that even Hershel, someone who was very staunch in his beliefs in S2 was a different person in S3 and 4 and in a good way. Dale wasn't around for when they had to tough it out on the road like Hershel did between S2 and 3, nor did he live long enough in the story where the living became the real villains, I think at best he only lives as long as Hershel and at worst he dies in the surprise attack alongside Axel. I don't see Dales S2 mindset sticking around when the stuff with Thomas happens in the Prison if not earlier between Seasons, he'd have to grow in order to survive into S4, even Hershel puts more faith in Ricks leadership and choices to kill and the biggest problem after that is the Illness that spreads cause without Hershel you could argue a lot more people would've died without him and his herbal remedy
I believe if he didn't die he would become just like Gabriel for sure. He was so anti killing in the 2 seasons he was in, but you know this dude woulda snapped later on.
I liked Dales death. I thought it was fitting because it happened at a time in where he was beginning to realize that he wasn’t fit for this world. Not to mention it made fans realize, no one is safe.
Dales death made no sense. So, yes it is dark... But he spots the cow easily enough. So, our zombie annoyed and irritated by Karl, rambles about and somehow takes down a cow. Then once devouring the cow, he stops eating and goes and hides in wait, to ambush... Dale, doesn't see the zombie hiding on approach, how did he not hear it, see it, smell it? Anyway, the zombie is in stealth mode which happens a lot in TWD. So Dale walks past the 'stealth invisible zombie' and gawks at the cow. Then the magical zombie appears behind him and wrestles him to the ground. Once on the ground, this zombie that could not keep hold of a child's foot - now has Hulk Fingers and can not only rip open a cow's stomach but can rip open a human's gut? The Walking Dead got so bad so quickly.
In my opinion, In the show I would've had Hershel die in Dale's spot back at the farm, Jimmy die in T-Dog's spot at the prison, and Dale die in Hershel's spot in Season 4 when the Governor attacked
This is an awesome timeline, but knowing gimple and his dialogue writing dale would have been a regular Socrates the whole show only speaking in vague one liners (sort of like morgan) and echoing the same "we are worse than we were" and "keeping our humanity thats a choice" as a dramatic gotcha moment every season finale 😅
so strange that the zombies are only silent when it's convenient for the story, he would have heard the wheeeeeooooheeeerrrghhh grawl easily in a silent field 🧐
I think this in any show version would be close to zero but I like the what if it would realistically be no bob and he dies to terminus survivors like how he does in the comics to the hunters

Dale was such a good character that an emoji was made after him
"🤨"
🤠

He didn't have kids..
@@axilleasgkotshs7529When did he say anything to do about him having kids?
You have to be more flexible in your values when you have family and kids to in order to protect them.dale was free to accept the consequences of his actions only on him.
Dale was my favorite character because of him keeping his morality through thick and thin
my goat fr
He was my Favorite too 😢
I knew he would die because of his humanity.
He was stupid af there is no morality in a zombie apocalypse the true monsters come out that way of thinking will get you killed or a knife in the back by wolf in sheep’s clothing

We need "What if Oscar and Axel survived".
Oscar had potetial to live to sesson 11
Oscar was such a real one.
He helped the group do that first raid at Woodbury after just barely meeting them and died in the process.
Both of them should had lasted longer
@@hominidhominin4500 Darabont is the best one.
@@hominidhominin4500 scott gimple quite literally ruined the show
Dale was iconic
If Hershel takes T-Dog's death, doesnt that mean during the sickness more people could have died? Maybe even Glenn? Cus Hershel was the main reason some of them survived and Dale isnt a doc
Absolutely. I don't think "Dale felt guilty" instantly makes him as effective as the doctor lmao
Dale's death was perfectly timed imo. In season 2 our group went from humans to survivors who'd do what's necessary to survive.

Anyone else tear up when Rick was remembering what Dale said after slicing Negans throat.

I don't think he would have survived terminus ngl
That's how he died in the comics. He had Bob's fate.
@@Marlo-138 technically the other way 🤓
Didn't in the comics
Its literally a what if, so he lives.
@@ashfordguray1011 Hey pal!👋👋, listen friendo, when I saw your comment, I started immediately touching myself, hope I can touch you next. Over and out!😳
I loved Dale. Great character brilliantly portrayed by Jeffrey DeMunn. I wish we could have had him for another few seasons.
Dale, and Morgan would’ve been interesting to see.
that would be cool
Dales death was the 1st one i rolled my eyes at. The execution of it. The walker that killed Dale had superhuman strength to completely tear and stretch someone open like that.
And since then, every zombie was able to tear open humans really easily, even as they rotted more. Heck, how did they rip open an entire tiger?
it's a show bro, if they were realistically as weak as rotting corpses it wouldn't be as intense or interesting.
Awesome video! Dale running off with Andrea and meeting Michonne after the farm house is perfect. He definitely would have stayed near Andrea during the downfall of herschel's farm
Outstanding video.
Id' love to see you tackle a "What If Shane and Andrea Had Left the Group in Season 2?"
Shane and Andrea would’ve shown up with the Saviours
@@nickbonnes, agreed. Making the scenario so interesting.
@Marlo-138 you think morales would survive if Shane and Andrea defect to Alexandria?
@@nickbonnesShane and Negan working together could actually make a good community
What really gets me about Dale’s death, is everyone stands around him crying as they watch him lay there on the ground all torn up. Then you look at Shane, someone that Dale really fought with time and time again.

I think Hershel wouldve died on the farm. But I think Tyreese would die in his place (like Tyreese dies in the comics) but Dale i think Dale would die in Tyreese's place i think he wouldve adopted Lizzie and Mika alongside Carol. After he is bitten As he gives up. Not wanting to live in a world like this. He sees Andrea alongside everyone else important to him (Maybe his wife Irma ideally for me) and then as he tells Bob to turn off the radio he dies.
But I like this outcome too
I always loved how level headed he was and he was the ONLY one of the group who stayed mentally stable and was very reasonable, my fav character other than Negan or s5 rick
He was too reasonable for the world the show depicts. He was beginning to become a liability to the group because civilized reactions just won't work in that scenario.

You're partly correct about Hershel. It was originally planned that Randall would kill Hershel (while trying to escape.) However, the showrunner (Mazzara) thought that it was a gratuitous death, that wasn't needed at that point. He never did confirm whether Dale's death saved Hershel.
Whenever I see a George Drake video. Especially a what if video, I must click and watch. For George Drakes will is absolute, and his content is fucking awesome.
Agreed 💯
I can’t name one thing more satisfying than this man’s voice
dude the editing its beautiful lol that Fortnite kar98 sound 5:28 caught me off guard
I love Dale. His death is out of the blue and I was torned to pieces in that scene. Traumatic. He's a great father figure
Dale's morally correct way of looking at things would have gotten many members of Rick's group killed in my opinion.
You should do Tyresse next
I LOVE DALE!!!
p.s the editing is so good this video.
Tough one this because both Hershel in the show and Dale were quality tbf
Idk about anyone else, but I'd like to see a video about how things might be if Merle survived. I feel like he had a good death, but it would have been interesting if he'd stayed alive and became part of the group.

This is such a cool reimagining, I love it! You have a fantastic voice too!
You killed Dale off at a good point without him being over used. Well done!
13:36 that flashback with Dale just hits so much harder now
the thing is dale would probably die of old age or disease
He’s immortal. Him “dying” would just be him transforming into his evolved form.
Dale was manipulative as hell but it would have been a good ending for him if he got to go out in his comic death of “tainted meat”
Great video! For the next one: What if Glenn did'nt die (because Daryl did'nt try to attack Negan after he murdered Abraham)
or what if steven yeun never wanted to leave the show😮
@@crackdadscripscroke36he is doing crappy action movies now so i guess he should have stayed with TWD
I love these. Please do more!!! If shane left with andrea!!
i waited for this video so long
What if Sophia survived to Season 11?
And for clips, maybe use newer clips from other shows/movies her actor is in to show her aging throughout the video and using a green screen.
Probably what happens in the comics. She married Carl and lives
@@howdoinamemychannel
Yeah I wish they did that in the show and had T-DOG replace Carol
If she had itd be really hard to figure out who shed be. Her death in the main series was important character development especially for Carol and Daryl. Not to mention the Greene family. On top of that we are talking about SO much more screentime and character development for her then she ever got previously, Season 2 Carl and S7 Carl are night and day different characters for example
Dale is the best character and no one will change my mind
He was my favorite in season 1 tbh
in the show maybe in the comics......😅
idk man its objectively bad to letting randall live
BRAVO!!! Very well done!
Your edits are AMAZING sir! Great video.
I love these what ifs
I like how t-dog survives in this timeline, probably replacing noahs death in the future. Though t-dog could maybe prevent bob from getting bitten or maybe even save tryese.

Of all the characters I remember so well from first watching back when I was a middle schooler in about 2015, it was Shane and Dale I remembered.
That was genuinely the funniest intro I’ve ever seen
This was a great what if scenario, this is something that could have actually happened if dales actor didn’t leave, I really wish he had lasted maybe another season or two.
''What you need to do is sit back down and let T-Dog get up'' LOL
Babe wake up George drake posted!
We need a What if Eastman survived
Great vid
Im actually surprised how many people like Dale his attachment to old war morals made 0 sense towards Randall’s fate
"Had the fate of bob in the comics" well that was a nice spoiler 😂😂 (i only have the first compendium
15:18 lmao it would've been so much better if it was Dale and Tdog in that scene the nostalgia would go crazy
Congrats on 100k
please do "what if deanna survived"
In this alternate scenario, since Dale didn't die, Frank Darabont is still the showrunner.
yes a new what if
My face reading the title. In contorted into the silliest little frown
Dales dead was one of saddest.
Going based on the comics he worked have probably lasted till at least series 5.
The thumbnail made me think dale was gonna live longer
i can never take the edit scenes with dale seriously 😭
Thought you’d go with the comic route cuz initially he’d die in season 4/5 and Bob would live since his fate is dale’s fate in the comics
I think Dale would've hardened by the beginning of S4. You forget that even Hershel, someone who was very staunch in his beliefs in S2 was a different person in S3 and 4 and in a good way. Dale wasn't around for when they had to tough it out on the road like Hershel did between S2 and 3, nor did he live long enough in the story where the living became the real villains, I think at best he only lives as long as Hershel and at worst he dies in the surprise attack alongside Axel.

I liked Dales death. I thought it was fitting because it happened at a time in where he was beginning to realize that he wasn’t fit for this world. Not to mention it made fans realize, no one is safe.
In the comics he dies in the hunters arc, “which would have been the terminus arc in the show”
Would love a "What if Beth survived" episode.
If she survived they would have ended up a pansy peace and love choir. Lol
I love your version. I wish that had happened.
Negan would've died of laughter to dale
Dales death made no sense.
So, yes it is dark...
But he spots the cow easily enough.
So, our zombie annoyed and irritated by Karl, rambles about and somehow takes down a cow. Then once devouring the cow, he stops eating and goes and hides in wait, to ambush...

I agree with your timeline
imagine if dale saw glenn’s death, i think he would’ve changed his mind
What if the governor met negan instead of Tara and her family.
That hits hard if Carl told Dale that it'd be his fault if he died.
my goat i love Dale
This is an awesome timeline, but knowing gimple and his dialogue writing dale would have been a regular Socrates the whole show only speaking in vague one liners (sort of like morgan) and echoing the same "we are worse than we were" and "keeping our humanity thats a choice" as a dramatic gotcha moment every season finale 😅
Season 2 was peak walking dead
good video
Please do a what if abraham survived!!
glenn would have been the one to die first and daryl would cause someone else to die.
@@nospamgaming6682 seems like a fair trade for abraham
Enjoying this, but I need to know why Tdog wasn’t in the position to save Carol & how Hershel ended up being the 1? & was he still 1 legged now??
so strange that the zombies are only silent when it's convenient for the story, he would have heard the wheeeeeooooheeeerrrghhh grawl easily in a silent field 🧐
You should do a what if Rick beat the governor in a fist fight
I wish George had made The Walking Dead Destines. Choices would’ve been way better.
I miss dale so much
Love Dale!
I wanna see what if the governor joined the prison personally
Let’s be real if dale stayed and survived he’d go crazy get angry and not care anymore about saving people but his own
No way Dale can keep running all day long, like Andrea did, he’s too old for that
I think this in any show version would be close to zero but I like the what if it would realistically be no bob and he dies to terminus survivors like how he does in the comics to the hunters
Dale woulda been like Gregory or early Gabriel the older he got.
this reminds of me of breaking bads ending, "going out on his own terms"
If dale didn’t die when he did I think he’d either die at terminus or die in place of Glenn. We all know he’d love Alexandria tho
Dale face
