What If Merle Dixon SURVIVED! If Merle Lived in The Walking Dead Season 11 & Daryl Dixon Season 2!

  • In The Walking Dead Merle Dixon's story ended with him letting Michonne go and falling when trying to defeat the Governor and although Rick Grimes' group somewhat knew of his sacrifice, he didn't get to live past it. With all the changes that happened behind the scenes, what was really supposed to happen with Merle? With The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon on the way what better time to retell and breakdown the entire story of The Walking Dead from the very start of the show to the very end where Rick Grimes returns and teases the new The Walking Dead spin-offs but in a universe where Merle Dixon survived! How different would Daryl's life be and everyone else's? What if Merle Dixon survived? This is what I think would happen if Merle was still alive in The Walking Dead today.
    What do YOU think would happen if Merle was still alive? Do you think we could ever see Merle again in a flashback or vison scene in the Daryl Dixon show? Do you agree with the timeline I created or prefer what happened in the show's universe? What characters do you want me to do a 'What If' on next? Let me know what you think down below. Thanks for watching. I'll see you soon.

      Thank you, Goerge Drake, the scrap between Merle and The Governor was awesome but I wish He survived like The Governor knocks Him unconcious and takes Him prisoner in one piece, living piece so He can have a bargaining chip and then Merle escapes or is found by Tyreese in the Governor's dungeon

    Merle's fate is something I'm conflicted about. On the one hand, i would've loved to have see what more then could've done with the character, but on the other hand, I also think he went out on the best note possible for his character. He went out doing the right thing, and the scene of Daryl finding him reanimated as a walker was so heartwrenching and tragic that idk if I'd want it any other way.
    That said, if he did survive, I honestly see him being Negan's first victim instead of Abraham. Great video as always, by the way.

      I think Negan would've picked Abe. Then kill Merle instead of Glenn. Negan would see that neither of them are afraid of him and with Daryl punching Negan I'm sure Merle would've had some kind of outburst to it, showing Negan that Merle and Daryl care about eachother without knowing they're brothers. So instead of killing Daryl, he'd kill Merle

    Realistically I think Merle probably would have been killed or imprisoned during all out war. I think the only reason Eugene was kept around was because he’s so cowardly and weak that he would deem he wouldn’t have the strength to work as a double agent. Merle definitely could be seen as a double agent especially if he went and intentionally switched sides.

  • @RSR-CNT
    @RSR-CNT 26 дней назад +19

    Merle should have definitely survived until season 8 like imagine in season 4 after the Governor attacked the prison, him a Daryl got split up or he walked off and they didn’t meet until season 7 when Negan takes Daryl and it turns out that Merle is in charge of an outpost

  • @Crotalus901
    @Crotalus901 26 дней назад +7

    The sequence of the scenes used for this ARE SO WELL DONE!!!! All of this sounds plausible and would definitely happen if Merle lived.
    However, at the Season 6 Episode 16/Season 7 Episode 1, where the lineup took place, I believe Merle would taunt Negan to the effect of, "YOU DON'T INTIMIDATE NOBODY!!! THIS IS THE LEADER OF THE SAVIORS? HELL, I'LL TAKE THAT BASEBALL BAT AND STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE!!!! BUT JUDGING BY HOW SUSPECT YOU LOOK IN THAT LEATHER JACKET AND SCARF, YOU'D PROBABLY LIKE IT!!!!!"
    Daryl and Rick whisper for Merle to please shut up cause he's gonna get them all killed.
    At which point Negan walks up to him, looks down, and spits on him. Then he tells Negan he doesn't have the balls to Lucille him whereby Negan responds, "You're right...." and immediately Lucille's Abraham.

    This is great, love the way you detail how Merle would interact, fight, help and feel into the later seasons. Merle has always been my favourite character since his introduction on s1e2 “guts”, he’s one of those original characters that should have survived all the way through! There’s so many levels with Merle he’s a character that can do many different scenarios

  • @matthewkane1188
    @matthewkane1188 26 дней назад +4

    One thing i think you missed talking about was Gabriel and Meryl should having conversation about god and the bible, a call back to Hershel, maybe revealing that Meryl had pretty much read the whole Bible to memory, this would reflect Gabriel changes throught the series as he reflects on old testament and new testament passages in the walking dead.

    i just donť think merle would ever want to make himself associated with other side again as Claimers or Negan... he just showed way too much that he clearly does anything best for his brother and his ineterests in just few episodes. He never chose to be with Governor, he just had nothing to choose. He would be as best as he can be, for sake he litteraly opens up on the things he done and how he widely regrets them, so from mine POV he would always stay loyal to better side no matter the cost and wouldn´t fall for those traps Negan or anyone else mentioned could throw at him... just like with the Governor.
    And the commonwealth story line was just somewhat weird for me, he wouldn´t just try to cause some random shit, he wasn´t like a shane.. this guy knows the hell´s he talking about.
    and also the main part being.. that with merle around, Daryl would have much less spotlight within the show and he would be mostly relying on Merle´s best instincts for the groups major decisions, Merle would just not be erratic and his arc wouldn´t have those flip-flops..

    Merles story always felt a little incomplete. I could see him living up until at least the claimers. In fact the claimers killing Merle could be the final deciding factor in Daryl's indecision about staying with Ricks group permanently
    Can we get a what if for Tyreese? I think his presence would influence a few key things-- Backing up Carls bid for peace in the savior war, him potentially being with Carl when he leaves to save Siddiq, having Carls back and thus saving his life as well, with him alive Sasha wouldnt be so keen to become a blood knight so she may live quite a bit longer too

I like how you say merle and abraham are the ones standing up to negan but merle stands down because he doesn’t want anything happening to daryl makes it so sad for how much he wouldn’t want to see his brother die. The dixon brothers woulda been lowkey the awesome brother duo of twd or maybe even trio with rick. Awesome What if video

    He was originally supposed to survive S3, but his death came at the last minute, it would've been cool to see him in S4, i see him surviving the fall of the prison, he either dies at terminus or the line-up, the line-up is what i see his final destination being in case he makes it that long.

    Dude I like your other videos but this series “what if ___ survived?” end up being really boring cuz the way u tell it the majority of the storyline stays the same as in the show you just swap one character for another. Only a few things are swapped here and there but as a listener it all just sounds mostly the same.
    On another note, I’ll give you credit for the video edit tho. Taking shots of the character from other parts of the show(or in the case of Glenn taking clips of him from an entirely different show) and inserting them in between scenes of the Walking Dead. For example a really cool one was in the Glenn episode when u took the original scene of Rick chasing down Negan in the car and swapped Glenn into it but used car chase scenes of him from the Netflix series Beef. They were timed very well and even pieces of dialogue were snatched from other places to match perfectly.
