Joe' death was epic. It completely caught me off guard. This was back when twd was telling small stories. With character development and high stakes. Then it got bored of that and decided to make a show about hundreds of people I didn't care about and didn't know. And they made the dead an insignificance. To think they could have just ended on a high. But no, we got "meh" and cash grab spin offs. Boooo!
You gave me a good idea. They should do all the villians backstory episodes on tales from the walking dead no matter how insignificant the villians were.
The claimers popped back up in the red machete which I liked but they were my favorite side villain of the show and I wish we could get more with them.
Joe and the Claimers were actually pretty terrifying. The way they all fought over the shirt that Michonne wore in that house and bickered over "who would get her first". Not to mention what they were going to do to Carl and the actor playing Joe was really good.
I actually liked The Claimers as villians simply because they wasn't after communities and things like that but just traveled the land terrorizing people unfortunate enough to meet them. They also had a lasting effect on the series, making Rick even more hardened because he killed Joe and Dan. Joe's death in particular is one of my favorites of the show. For this time in the show, they were a big threat behind The Governor obviously. Can't wait until the next video!
The claimers work into my “animal theory” which spans from after the fall of the prison until arrival at Alexandria.
The theory is that to represent these villains regression and to show they are no longer human they are given an animal each to represent them and who’s traits they represent.
The claimers are wolves, working in a pact, claiming everything they come across and rick is forced to bite joe’s throat out which is something wolves do all the time cause they know how sensitive it is.
Terminus are bears since their level of threat is determined by their hunger, they hold no morals and loyalties and will even eat their own (like Gareth having his brother cut up to be eaten) if they are hungry enough.
Then the hospital people spiders, they ensnare into a web and while you are there drain you of everything they can take.
And if you want throw them in, wolves unfittingly enough are not wolves, but locust, they travel around, decent on a place, harvest it, strip it bare and leave nothing before just moving on.
Great videos! I'm from Philadelphia so something intrigued me for years. The episode Nebraska in season 2. The guys Dave and Tony from Randall's group. They were from Philadelphia and they said Philly fell fast and was a mess. Then they went south through I95. At I95 the old Philadelphia navy base still exists. The south of the city under the skyline can house over 250,000 people. The airport is near there too. Rick is flown from Virginia which we see in the original teaser. He would fly up to the southern part of the city. The northern part is more spread apart and it houses the open drug market. In real life many unfortunately die daily which could explain why Philly would have fell fast but also the way the city is set up. The government (CRM) could seal off the south from skyline to the naval base and also seal off that section of the city east to west. Dave told Rick about Nebraska being a safe zone. He also said military boats took survivors to various islands. Possibly he could have meant Virgil's island and Padre. He also said that Fort Benning fell which was confirmed by Mitch from the Governors group. We know CRM had undercover agents so to speak in Nebraska( Huck) and also Jadis was trading test subjects. Could it be possible that Dave was also a undercover CRM agent? Do you think at the very least Rick will remember this conversation he had in the bar? It was the first two humans Rick killed so I think he should at least have a recollection of this. In the new teaser I saw a military boat sealing the city off in the Marina. In real life to this day they do have boats down there.
This is the first video of yours that I have had recommended to me, but man, it was great. I completely agree that Joe and the Claimers were so much more memorable than their comic counterparts. They were a small arc but an incredibly memorable (and frankly important) one.
They were responsible for so much when you get down to it: They solidified Daryl and Rick's bromamce. They gave Rick the resolve to do what he needed to protect those he cared for. They (especially being back to back with Terminus) destroyed Rick's ability to trust people and create the "Feral Rick" we know and love from Season 5. And most importantly, they were the source of the murder jacket.
Small time villains with a big impact. There's a reason I remember them after all these years. Thanks for the video.
I liked the Claimers. Not because they unalived people, or because they R-worded people, those parts make me hate them more than any other villain group in the show. I liked them because from a writing standpoint, they were realistic. World ends and society is permanently crippled, people start grouping up and travelling until they either find a safe place to stay and fortify, or they keep to a nomadic lifestyle. There are no laws, no rules, nothing stopping people from doing whatever they want. People become monsters, but not the dead ones that shamble and rip into the living, they become inhuman creatures that look and act just like a normal human being, but they are anything but. The apocalypse means nothing remotely bad when they view it as a better alternative to the world that came before. They enjoy it, they find new ways to get what they want, and they don't let anything stop them. The Claimers are possibly the most evil group in the show, even the governor was just one man commanding a group of manipulated people. The Claimers were evil, but they were realistic. I hated them as "people", but I loved them as characters on a script. They showed just how far people will go when the world stops being the world.

i would of preferred to see more of the claimers over the cops at the hospital but i don't know how they could of done that

“What you going to now sport”- Joe
Rick ( I’m going to do what’s called a pro-gamer move)
Could you potentially do one on the reaper’s?

Just wanted to say, the narration at 7:41 is fantastic. Very impressive scriptwriting
