I really do believe that Rick is not only immune to the virus but it also helps keep him from dying. We see so many instances where no normal human should walk away where Rick not only walks away but heals rather quickly from it all. Sure, plot armor, but it could act as an in universe explanation as to why he’s so resilient. You could even go as far as saying the hallucinations he had in s3 with the phone was the virus trying to keep him from completely jumping off the deep end and getting himself killed.

[@mindset2501]

I think that Rick died in the hospital and came back alive just like Alicia did in ftwd. We know that the virus was created in France by a biomedicine company and maybe the virus was actually supposed to work to stop people from dying and making people somewhat immortal but something went wrong and it only worked for a few people like Rick and Alicia for example. While the rest of the population turns into walkers ( come back from death but dead ) some lucky few also come back from death but alive. Watch TWD World Beyond post-credit scene if you didn't yet.

[@daddyshome275]

Here's my theory: Writers wanted to show us Rick Grimes and Madison Clark are related as siblings. In new promo of ftwd season 8 we see Madison is bitten and crm type guys are doing experiments on her. What if they actually show us the Madison and Rick is related , that would explain why Alicia took lot of time while turning into a walker in her last episode or maybe she didn't turned.

During the whole show the characters say try not to get any walker blood on you, don't get it in your eyes, mouth, nose, etc. Gabriel got just a little bit in his eye and he nearly died. Season 5 finale Rick shoots a walker and the walker's head explodes on ricks face, he roles over and spits some blood out from the walker. He's got to be immune because it didn't effect him

[@TonyJaaFan1587]

They said that because they were still learning about the virus and how it spreads, covering the skin mouth and eyes is common advice for any unknown virus if you’re unsure how it can be spread, that doesn’t mean he’s immune because he figured out during a few time jumps that it wasn’t as big of a deal to get some blood in your mouth as long as you don’t ingest it and don’t get it into open wounds

[@roxasspriteanimator5917]

My theory is that it is his mental determination that he can't turn because we have seen people in the franchise games and comics that depending on someone willpower when they get a bite that's how long they last. A good example is Lee Everett he got bit on the wrist and survived an entire day with the bite from morning to midnight almost 24 hours maybe 20 hours in total until he gave up because he completed his mission. And when someone like Bob Adams got bit he only lasted a couple of hours. And in the end they die apart from Rick. As we see in his final episode in S9 he was hallucinating several times about the dead and his friends giving him motivation to keep fighting because realistically no would survive that long with an impalement wound and being chased by walkers for several hours and surviving a point blank explosion after and is still breathing.

[@alexvandyke1236]

I’ve had the theory for years that Rick literally can’t die. That the zombie virus was originally intended to be a cure for death, and for some reason it only worked on Rick. There’s him waking up in the hospital when Shane said he had no heartbeat, and then later in the series we see him take what should be fatal injuries, he passes out, and then just gets back up again and never seems to need surgery or rest. I’ve begun to wonder if this could be the case for many characters, though, with “We’re the ones who live” becoming much more literal.

Rick died while in the hospital, but reanimated and was there long enough to have evolved as we see walkers do later on.

[@Austen54]

Expanding on the superhuman theory, I believe that somehow the virus works reverse on Rick, basically making him a reverse walker. Maybe he can't die without destroying his brain like a walker. So he has all the strengths of a walker without the negatives of being a walking corpse

[@MasterHall117]

My own theory is the shear will to live is keeping Rick going, certain people can suffer immeasurable pain and stuff that would normally kill them, but their will to keep going and do what’s necessary to survive keeps them alive. Some real life examples, is Kentucky Ballistics (KZbinr), his Serbu 50 cal rifle exploded in his face, torn his jugular and stuff open with shrapnel in his face, and with the help of his father being their and a thumb in his neck to slow the bleeding, and his will to live kept him going till he got to the hospital which the doctors did the rest, and according to Kentucky Ballistics, the doctors claimed that he SHOULD NOT have survived that explosion, especially when that round that exploded had reached well pass 80,000 PSI…

I like your first theory! I think it's possible that the virus is what fixed Rick & brought him out of his coma. It's even possible that maybe this is what the french scientists originally created the virus for. But something went wrong & an unexpected mutation occurred & resulted in the Walker Virus (which eventually went airborne and infected everyone on the planet) But Rick in this theory would be this strange exception where the virus actually made him better rather than sicker or turning into another walker. Hopefully we learn more.

[@KanohiVahi]

It could be they were for example looking for ways to extend life or like stop people who are fatally wounded from dying but things just went wrong. It would also go along with what the person shooting the french scientist said: "you wanted to make it better but you just made it worse". Although I initially thought that guy was just talking about the virus, and the french team looking for a cure but potentially creating the variants along the way.

Rick Grimes was a test subject all along. Let me explain Rick is the only one to see helicopters a lot and no one else sees them.

Alicia in "Fear the Walking Dead" may be proof some are immune. She got bit, but lived for months, and may even be still alive? IDK left her on a cliffhanger in the most recent season, so it's possible Rick may be too. Thats how the show will end I think, they use their blood to find a cure.

[@leecroft1983]

I'm hoping Alicia appears in the upcoming show with Rich and Michonne. Be good if both Rick, Alicia are immune to the viruse, well immune to it in a way of it turning them. They get very ill from it (we see with Alicia) but we didn't see this with Rick because he was in a coma during this stage of mutation. There are many others like them out in the world, the CRM have been looking for them and collecting for research. Alicia was captured (after she walks away from the beach now well and past her ill stage) This is how Alicia and Rick meet in the new show, would like to see these two side by side.

Timeline doesn't fit, at least for how long Rick had been in the hospital. Remember when Rick takes Shane out to the crossroads to talk with him about Laurie. Shane tells his story and says it started with just a couple weird reports on the news. Then he says 2 weeks later he was in the hospital trying to get rick out and their were soldiers shooting down people. So according to that information, Rick has been in the hospital for at least 2 weeks. Probably longer unless the reports started the day rick went to the hospital.

[@ShadowSonggX]

Coma is basically prolonged state of unconsciousness, and like normal sleep has a reduced muscle, cardiac and respiratory activity and doesn't necessarily damages, nor kills the brain, in order for the virus to take over. The machines are mostly for monitoring, nasal cannula is used for increased airflow and respiratory help, and not to be confused with full fledged ventilator. Rick was in a deep sleep. Why he woke up is a whole different theory. In other words he did not turn, not because he was immune, but because he just wasn't dead enough...

I like this theory, but didn’t Rick and everyone else’s blood get tested at the CDC in season 1? It was confirmed that Rick is infected, so I’m not sure how they could write around that now.

There was a movie called Awake, a Netflix exclusive iirc. This video reminds me of the ending and Rick could have similar reasons to be immune, if he is. Spoiler warning. For TWD, keep in mind that he was not immune in the comics, as Carl finds Rick as a walker after he (Rick) was murdered by the disgruntled son of a villain. In Awake, a solar flare fries everything with electricity, and it affects the electricity in everyone's brains, taking away the ability to sleep, eventually killing lots of people from exhaustion, with the only treatment being an adrenaline shot now and then. Even with anesthesia and all, nobody can sleep. There were a few people immune to it, including the protagonists daughter. Iirc when the catastrophe hit, the protagonist's car fails and they crash into a lake with her daughter briefly dying during the event before being resuscitated, something that was eventually figured out.

[@MilkyLlama30]

what if rick isnt affected bc he was tested on while in a coma bc people knew the dead were coming and they tried making a cure and it worked but it was too late to cure everyone and the other people who got shot were people who also got tested on but failed and were gonna be even more walkers.

If we recall to Season 1 Episode 6 TS-19, when Jenner was giving a closeup to the infected persons brain when we saw all those lights, when you look close enough, we can see some black spots, similar to how the virus looks when it infects the brain. So it could be from that point, when Jenner knew everyone was infected, or maybe when some of the staff killed themselves, they did it in a way where their bodies could resurrect? Either way, the idea that Rick is immune, could explain why The New World Order wants him to come back? Another thing that bugs me, is how did TNWO get so well prepared and have everything? I'm not really caught up with TWD lore, as well as FTWD, but I think The New World Order are the remnants of the government, and they're trying to either find the key to vanquish the virus, or find a way where when someone gets bit, they don't die from it. Either way, it's something interesting to think about. Personally, I think it'd be cool if there was a series about some random apocalyptic scientist experimenting on the dead, and studying them.

All I know is that Rick better not die at the end of Rick and Michonne.

[@a-10warthog72]

What if it happens like in that shitty Netflix movie "Awake"? Whereas people couldn't sleep, but those who were reanimated, like from drowning or being electrocuted became imune to it. Maybe Rick's coma at the moment of the outbreak made him immune or even enhanced like another comment said.

[@paulpietzko]

My theorie isn't that he's immune mine is that he simply is the main character.

[@allizomb]

😂😂

[@JustAWanderingTrader]

I mean..it makes sense, he was dead but didn’t turn, he’s probably already dead and immune to the virus, but what about the walkers they are still coming towards him, and in the “All of us are dead” if your infected they mind their own business

[@facelessgames2194]

Walkers operate using mainly shell and sight so even if they smelt a walker they would still see a man that doesn’t look like the others running away

[@stankachu]

bros iq is outrageous, good job man

[@Quipen248]

CRM has Rick because when he arrived he was labeled as an A, which I believe means a person who is willing to do anything and everything to return him and has the will/skill set to do so. Meaning that Rick has to do odd dangerous jobs to “pay off his debt” to the CRM for keeping him alive before they return him

[@thegingercreature6761]

What if Rick got bit after the explosion but the CRM knows how to treat bites and not let them kill you.

[@generalbutterscotch4887]

If that's the case, it must only be a temporary thing, or whatever treatment they use requires a constant dosage and thus Rick can't leave because he's dependant on the CRM constantly supplying him with the medicine.

Rick is totally immune,when he tried to grab a machete from walker stomach his hand is sliced by the machete that already covered by walkers blood but he didn't get sickness

[@danielverwey4701]

I could be wrong, but i dont recall the word "zombie" ever being used at all in the show. They call them everything but zombies The other thing i noticed, in season 1, rick is taking refuge with morgan and his son. When the walkers stormed the house, i recall one at the door trying to bash it in with a rock... I never saw walkers use "tools" again after that

[@NetherCrafterSMC]

I would like it to be split of the two theories, that would be super interesting

[@GPowers10]

7:50 I took this as a challenge! Plot Armor and being the main character! Love the theory by the way.

[@Nauutilus]

i love this so much, the thumbnails look just like sunnyv2 which catches my eye and both the show and video topic is amazing. your shorts are awesome aswell. love the video!

[@Yogurt435]

Counter point: plot armor 💀

[@ryanworkman2824]

Yo that heart beat thing would make perfect sense for the show plot plus the fact crp is looking for survivor's/group leaders as a for virus research for a cure it lines up with the story for rick to be the cure

[@ataKw]

bro his just main char at all

[@oldchannel125]

I think rick survived because after getting shot his immune system had to work much harder so he didn't get a infection and well recovering his body also fought off the virus as it tried to enter him and then his body made a natural cure to keep himself not infected

[@poetscane8492]

There was an episode in season 6, either 1 or 10, I forget. But Rick cut into a walker with a knife, where that walker-filled bloody knife then cut into Rick's hand. They made sure to show the audience that he's aware of that..he took a second to look at it. That would be just as bad or worse, than getting bit. As you all know, he survived that just fine.

[@marvinbray5889]

Also that zombie impaled with spikes also stabbed Rick which should have turned him since it was used in the savior and Alexandria war

[@docrussian1806]

[@rileybrown4508]

Love the fact that you played space junk at the end lol

[@marvinbray5889]

I hope there's more science behind this show instead of (humanity is screwed) so just survive until you die hopefully this becomes cannon I think Rick being immuned would make the show better

[@marvinbray5889]

But the show is so long they shoulda done it sooner ngl

[@Thekid_96]

Yea he is the key to the CRM’s development of a cure. He is totally immune to reanimating and the virus. Beucase of his coma developing an immunity

[@xJDMWaRRi0Rx]

I’m gonna put my mind in the heads of amc. Here’s my theory. A means alpha B means beta. Simple right. What that means is that the group that took him, are gathering up group leaders thinking that an army of people like that is what’s needed for this world. What it will ultimately lead to is power grabs where Rick wants to help save the common folk while also halfway through finding his family. Keep the comments going guys I want to come back to this thread in a year after all the side shows come out

[@FriendlyAnimeChick.]

Alternate title: Rick Grimes have plot armour. Somehow survives having his intestines out for a long period of time.

[@UNFORTUNATELYAPERSON666]

At the end, if you look at the very end of the last episode of season 11 you can see him smiling, so I think that’s gonna go and spinoff series where he sees a Michonne or something or someone who he knows and loves like I think that he’s generally going to be ok

[@KruggKruscherp]

I don't know, it seems plausible that Rick could be the first successful case where the virus did what it was *supposed* to, which iirc they say the virus was designed originally to just simply bring people back from death, it was not originally meant to cause them to become zombies.

[@newhoodie18]

Fantastic video ❤ I really think both theories are highly possible 😊

[@KooChi1]

I just don't see it. IF Rick was immune they would go after Judith. They would NOT just trust Rick saying he had no children.

[@wolfmutt888]

In the coma when he apparently died, The virus brought him back. Is that what I'm hearing. Instead of being immune he's actually a zombie in a way.
