I agree that the lighting is everything in a series. It gives the show its very own unique feeling. The filter in the later seasons didn’t quite hit the same as the cinematography in s1-3. Just imagine if Breaking Bad got rid of its filters, I don’t think I could watch it without their unique cinematography. Also just to add, Nick left because he didn’t like the direction the show was going. He wouldn’t of left if the new directors were actually going to do a good job with his character.
Fear had potential no doubt. It wasn’t perfect if I’m going to be honest. They messed up a little bit with the Mexican highway gang (I didn’t expect them to be that important but their deaths were pathetic. It’s like the writers didn’t know how to deal with them so they chose to make them retarded. They can still die but it should have been done in a better and more satisfying way). They also messed up with the Manawa’s. Chris was sort of an empty canvas, meaning that they could have driven his character in so many directions.
Direction 1. He goes on the path of redemption. He eventually forms a bond with the rest of the family – especially Nick as they are basically two sides of the same coin. He eventually becomes a valued member of the Clark family.
Direction 2. Full villainy. After he abandons his family he disappears and he isn’t seen again until years later where he is the secondary villain to someone but he is even more savage than before. Madison is in a tough spot as she knows her husband loved Chris so this gets complicated.
Those were two avenues they could have went and I would have been fine with either but if I had to choose it would probably be villain because after the death of Travis it would make the conflict much more complex. Speaking of Travis, I know the actor actually wanted to leave the show for reasons outside of show stupidity. However i wish they could have extended his character to die at the end of the season. He allows Nick to escape so he blows up the dam, and while he’s escaping with Daniel he is shot by Proctor John and Daniel is forced to leave him behind. This would build up the Proctors as the main antagonist for season 4 and make for an interesting war. Troy had a season left in him he should have died in season 4. Madison should have never left and Nick should’ve never died.
Gimple and his two moronic cronies ruined this show forever!😡😭
Honestly some of the location settings in Fear had also alot potential like the rest of the Los Angeles metropolitan area And alot more of California hell one of the Saviors in TWD came escaped from San Francisco also Mexico had more potential like a setting in Cabo or La Paz Ensenada As for Texas a setting in Houston Or Dallas would have been cool we Know that the CRM had El Paso Texas marked as a Location and some Texas Cities were Hit by the nuke a Las Vegas Nevada setting would have been fire too
When Morgan took over the show basically died, he couldnt carry the show himself. Morgan is a wonderful supporting character though.
i am a huge twd fan, but seasons 1-3 of fear is better than ANYTHING ever made in the walking dead universe
damn only the third time you’ve made this exact video.
Yes when when Morgan came in to play he actually turned the show around away the bad writers decision and I feel like MORGAN saved both shows after NICK departure
bBOOM POW WOW
I beg to differ SCOTT amazing writing even though some fans don't understand or see how you answered all the actors discussion to leave ….like happy farewell and i'll see you in the future shows
When I started watching ftwd I had no idea how bad it's gonna get after season 3. I always felt like some characters will live much longer than they did(like Nick or Troy) and when I started watching season 4 I literally went "bro, tf is that?"
Cause it doesn't feel like ftwd or even twd at all.
Scott Gimple should be fired with no permission to script anything in the future, cause I swear, dude ruins everything he touches. 💀💀💀
Thanks for the video tho!
Another reason why this show ended up the way it did was because of those dumb ass youtube reviewers constantly bashing the show because it wasnt some gimic driving show like the main show. They trashed the show because there was no signature weapons or no signature clothing to certain characters like Rick and his Revolver like Daryl and his jacket or crossbow. Now look at them they have nothing left to review cause once the flagship died so did the interest for the rest of the universe…. and The Ones Who Live sure as hell further drove away the remaining audiance because of their Game Of Throne like decisions to rush the story
For me what drove me from Fear the Walking Dead was Madison. She started out as annoying and abrasive, but there were enough interesting characters around her that she kind of took a backseat. The further the show went on the more unlikeable she became, and it really made it hard to keep watching.
Man, imagine if Shane left in S2 with Andrea, and we see them join Fear later, it would've been so cool for Andrea's character, Shane kinda had to die for Rick to cement himself as a leader, but it is a very interesting what if.
Another theory i used to hear back in the day is that Madison would turn out to be Alpha, and we'd see them on the main show, imagine how badass that would've been, a man can dream.
Great video man! Such a shame what they threw away
Dude, Madison going from caring guidance counselor, whose role was to help youths with their problems to becoming an irredeemable villain would have been fantastic. Seeing her going down that road from the very beginning was great, until it fell into the hands of Gimple and his circus clowns.
Fear was such a fantastic break from the main show, I remember seeing the ads for it and being somewhat flippant on it’s existence but those first two episodes sold me on how magical this show was going to be, and I will never forgive the writers for what they turned this show into.
I get Cliff Curtis had to leave because of his Avatar contract, but you could have easily had him “leave” to deal with the grief of losing his son and killing those two in Rosarito. That way he could have been brought back later on. And Frank Dilane originally left because he didn’t like the direction the show was taking (or so I’ve heard) so that was the final nail in the coffin for me.
Seeing the fall of society was great and haunting as well. This is the bloodiest time in human history, the initial 63 days that Rick slept through, the brutal and unforgiving way society came to a crashing halt. A day where you woke up getting ready for work or heading to school and it ends in massive riots, lockdowns, power failures and the eventual end of everything.
That scene of the Clark’s driving through the quiet streets of Los Angeles has always stuck with me. Here is a massive metropolis, with millions of people and all of the streets are devoid of life. No cars, no planes, no one. And seeing Operation Cobalt in action was the death of this huge city. The series lost its spark, and it’s sad we will never see what would have been.
Going to Mexico was also great, because we get to see how another government handled the outbreak, and who could forget the Cosmonaut Strand spoke to? A man who was set to come down three days before the end and is now stuck in space? So many little details made Fear so good.
But that’s enough rambling from me. Sorry for the long comment but I’m like you, man, this show was special and I am still pissed at what it became. Great video! Hope to see more in the future!
Teddy was the only villain I liked and they wasted him and killed him off to early and made Strand the Villain of Season 7 so stupid. Should do a video on wasted potential on Teddy cause he was entertaining asf
"most characters of the original show out do their presence on the show" THIS IS SOOOOO TRUE.
FTWD could've been one of the best zombie shows of all time. It's a shame AMC continues to reward Scott Pimple for basically running this franchise to the ground. it really it hurts when I think of what this show could've been if Dave wasn't fired…..
I thought Morgan's "all life is precious" was problematic on the Walking Dead as well. How many many did he put in danger because of his PTSD then his change of heart; with wanting to keep everyone alive. I know he's a favorite, but ive rewatched the entire series this year & don't get the hype. Eastman died saving him. He almost got people killed by the Wolfe he wanted to save. He's probably done other things, but they should have killed him instead of Carl.
The only reason I kept watching fear was john dorie, but now that he's gone. I couldn't find the strength to keep going on with the show.
the first 3 seasons of Fear will always be my favorite media ever released as a whole. thank you for making more videos on the show
I couldn't get past season 1. The big problem for me was that I didn't care about the characters at all. They were so flat and blah. Everything that made the original series so good in the early seasons was lacking in Fear.
Fear the walking dead is like waiting for christmas, but on the day of Xmas you get sick and die
I recently watched the first 4 seasons and 4 was trash I don’t even want to continue the series
Seeing Madison go vader would've been award winning. Leave it to Gimble to wake you up in the middle of a wet dream.
Show was garbage how hard is it to make just a decent episode? Now daryl dixon book.of carol premiere was garbage dont understand the incompetence of amc and the writers !
Zombie nation wasnt great but didnt have such bad episodes as the walking dead shows have
I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD BUT FTWD FIRST SEASON WAS GOOD YOU CAN SEE HOW THE WALKERS AND INFECTION SPREAD
Couldn't make it past season 2. Entire cast was insufferable. I grew increasingly sadder every time one of them survived. 😂
