How Nick’s death KILLED FTWD

[@Immolator772]

To be honest Travis' death was a great character development for Madisson, and well she left before Nick died, so yeah his death was pretty pointless. They say eye for an eye will leave the world blind, but that's not always the case, and Morgan was wrong for that. Because of his peace bs, his friends could've died.

Nick was basically Rick Grimes as the show revolved around him. He was the main character. Strand had a point that people like Nick would thrive in that world, he was one of the people that could have survived it. He covered himself in blood and walked with the dead, he felt alive with them and knew how to survive within that. When it comes down to the title of the show "Fear the Walking Dead" I don't think they were talking about the Walkers, I think it was aimed at Nick and people like him.

[@snipertrader20GBS]

Travis, Jake, Ofelia, Troy, Nick, Madison... After all of these characters have either been killed off or disappeared (like Madison and Troy, just to return in the final Season) in Season 3 and 4A, this just wasn't Fear The Walking Dead anymore. Fear The Walking Dead Seasons 1-3 have out of any movie or TV series been the greatest thing I have ever watched and I loved every single minute of it (along with TWD S1-6). Such a pity that FTWD later went downhill like this.

[@theohuntt]

[@BonesyTucson]

agreed.. ftwd season 1-3 are among the greatest zombie stuff ever made.. right up there stuff from the godfather, George A Romero.

Never understood why killing Ofelia & bringing Luciana made sense. Nick could've had a romance with Ofelia. Ofelia became a badass so instantly, they all did

[@liftedhippie4205]

Nick was my favorite character ever put in TWD franchise… I was genuinely displeased when he died along with when they allowed Madison’s anger to take control and sledge hammer Troy to “death” just for him to make the grand entrance later in the show… basically FTWD failed itself into the ground after nicks death… I felt it was pointless and never had a meaning in the story line… they just added whatever in the show to keep people hooked while the characters did a great job working with what they had the show folded into itself when they lost the cash cow nick… he was what drove people to watch. Especially when they killed Travis. Don’t get me started on Travis. I was mad then and I’m mad now. Lol

[@tylerzech457]

He was my favorite character and the reason I tuned in, his death was blindsiding especially when he was the core of the show.

[@UltraGman]

I was really salty when bro died. It was Carl all over again.

[@ColonelArnold]

Exactly

[@drumaticpageofmusic4148]

Honestly Carl’s death didn’t piss me off as much as Nick’s because 1 Carl’s death actually helped Rick and Negan grow as characters, 2 even tho his death wasn’t in the comics, it’s still fit and made sense for the show, and 3 the show had a bunch of other characters to fall back on. Nick’s death was completely different. 1 he was arguably the main character, 2 he was THE character most people gave a shit about at that point in the story and the show didn’t have the rest of the cast to make up for his death besides Alicia and Strand.

[@pamelaann1958]

I am a recovering drug addict and i loved seeing someone like me on the show! He killed the role. Fear truly died with him;(

[@JaymeSplendid]

So, I am a recovering heroin addict myself here in NYC, been clean now for about 10 years. I say "About" due to the fact I am not one to have those to have a celebratory sobriety dates . I also lived in MANY squats here. When this show first opened up and it shows nick waking up, I look to my girlfriend who I've been with for over 14 years now and lived the exact same life as me and we got clean the same time and are still together, I looked over at her and jokingly said "Dude looks like an addict, kicking it in a squat" before he even left the room. I saw him laying down, saw the water jug and the random places people will decide that for what ever reason, would make a good sleeping area. And sure enough, turned out to be an abandon church. Never have I seen something capture addict street culture when it came to squatting almost to a 'T' even if it was only a tiny glimpse. Someone really did their homework.

[@Xokzu]

Still not over this death, I 100% agree

[@Leftistmushroom]

5:12 Imagine someone not trust you so much with a show that they would rather kill characters than have you mess them up

[@ButImSleepy]

I started watching Fear just a month ago (I have been a TWD fan for years now and have rewatched the main show several times, but I heard Fear was good and I never saw it so I watched it) I binged all the way until Nick's death episode and I just haven't been able to continue it ever since, and it's been like 2-3 weeks since I've even touched Fear. It literally pains me knowing that I will need to go back and continue the show with my favorite character being gone. It's crazy because I have always been a Daryl/Rick fan, and if there ever was a breakout, I always wanted to be like one of them, but ever since I saw Nick Clark he is just such a relatable character for me in so many ways, and his development in the show was really, really good. Another thing too is, people are always making edits on TikTok of TWD and FTWD and I have seen Nick edits several times on my FYP and in the comments everyone always talked about his death and how bad it was, and this was before I watched FTWD, so while watching the show I knew that Nick was going to die at some point ever since I started watching Fear, I just never knew when. But I never thought his death would affect me the way it did. His character grew on me tremendously and it was definitely one of Frank Dillane's worst choices to leave and also the FTWD producers for letting him go like that. One of the worst mistakes since Carl's death hands down.

[@theohuntt]

I totally agree I’m the same I watched FTWD late so I already Knew Nick was going to die going into it but in the 3 and a half seasons he was in the show he had such a profound impact on me in the way I felt myself relating to him a lot and the show just isn’t the same without him :(

I tried watching several times after Nick's death but i couldn't. I also really hated Morgan. He was my least favorite character in walking dead and his presence just ruined Fear. "I lose people and then I lose myself." Stupidest line of all. So many characters had similar reactions to the new world. Morgan droning on about this was so lame.

[@lukefitton7329]

Morgan was awesome, I agree that his presence in Fear was pointless but I loved him in the main show. Clear was one of the greatest episodes and he was very entertaining to watch in action. Not to mention his reasoning for wanting to be a pacifist or why he would lose his mind made a lot of sense. There’s definitely truth to that quote, there’s so many worse lines of dialogue in the waking dead universe than that. Besides there’s a difference between losing people you care about and feeling responsible for the deaths of people you care about as well as having hundreds of innocent peoples blood on your hands because of an inability to control yourself. Morgan explored these themes better than most other characters.

[@eldercal3127]

You can understand killing off Interesting and complex characters when the plot requires it but fear had the worst timing they killed chris off to build up travis to be a leader, ruthless warrior of the apocalypse and protect his family over his own life and that’s why Chris was killed but then killing him off 2 episodes into a season where he had a planned death that was so much more impactful and really did make sense to his character was a wrong decision. Same with Jake and Troy in s3 they killed off the two great additions, obviously Jake was killed to build Troy up to not have a leash or someone to reel him in anymore but then killing Troy off because they were afraid of how his character would be butchered in later seasons which then adds more depth to the story arch or nick and madison and the path they were going down in the apocalypse just for nick to be killed off 4 episodes later and madison to basically be killed off 8 episodes later. They can try to retcon it all they want but fear had amazing characters and actors for the first 3 seasons and they wasted each and everyone of them until we were left with Morgan Alicia and co. The show lost itself with its characters as fear was never a plot driven show but a show driven through characters experiencing the world around them it was how they felt and evolved and became who they were in the world and they killed it

[@StrangeloveTheDoctor]

Aye, I completely agree with this essay, The death of Nick removed the heart of the show, I continued watching & it never again reached the heights attained by having him in it, they lost that little bit of magic.

[@WesMoast]

I wasn't initially sold on FTWD. I wanted to love it more than the show deserved (if that made sense).

You’re so right about losing Nick they lost the main selling point of the show, he was incredible, the character was fantastic and the actor was so unbelievably good.

You realyy nailed it with this video. FTWD season 1 - 3 was a really good show and in my opinion, was better than the main show, especially season 3. The shame became total garbage after that - I remember watching (half paying attention to) the final season and then re-watching season 1 to 3 and they're like totally different shows. I really wish they had kept the original writer as I think that seasons 4 to 7 would've been very different (and GOOD). I know what you mean about Nick's character in that the downfall of society basically saved him and broke his addiction. It's very relatable in so many ways as were the rest of the family - they had various issues like any family but to see them adapt and down whatever they had to to survive from the very start of the outbreak was something I'd wanted to see since the main show started.

When an actor takes the lead role, or any important role, in a potentially long running series, they should be more commited to that role. We are invested in a good story, just for it to go South when the main character has to be killed off because the actor got bored of the role. Imagine if Bryan Cranston abandoned his role as Walter White in Breaking Bad by the end of season 3. What a robbery that would have been!

[@kimberlywilmoth9184]

He didn't leave because he was bored with the role. He left because the showrunner changed and the direction of the story went totally sideways. If Dave Erickson hadn't been fired and stayed on as showrunner, I have no doubt Frank Dillane would've stayed.

Cool video. I like your thought process. This was pretty interesting. Gave you a new sub and I’ll be checking out the rest of your library. Nick was the absolute best character in my opinion as well. They never should’ve killed off his character like that. I understand the actor wanted to leave the show at that point so there was no getting around it. I just feel that the way they did it really put the nail in the coffin for me. People cried because no one wanted Nick to die not because they did it in some poetically sad/great way. They could’ve put way more effort and thought into how they did it. It may have even been able to push the story forward if they’d done it in a clever or meaningful way. But…..nope! We get an obnoxious kid who mostly everyone hates just walk up and pop him out of nowhere. I hated that more than anything. It’s really sad how a really great show that so many love can be absolutely destroyed by one idiot’s terrible idea and lack of vision.

Thanks man! And yeah I agree Nicks death could have been done so much better :/

Keep it up Theo Hunt

[@Absol_hunt]

That would have been a good show if it stayed that way i cried when Nick died too it was dramatic you remember the moment even without showing it

First 3 seasons are some of the best TV. I don't even think Travis should have died that early. They killed his son and then didn't let his character develop at all.

4:50 noooo that plan sounds amazing im so mad we didnt get that :(((

I'm one of thoose who stoped watching the show after Nick's death.💔

[@DericJackman]

It makes me wonder what Troy’s fate would’ve been if Madison was supposed to be the villain in the original script.

[@Lusterburn]

Currently binging the series and youre right, after his death the show became a DEI spectacle and the crap actor that killed him gets to remain on the show.

While Fear wasn't game changing it had its own charm with its own characters and dynamics sadly it just turned to shit and all the likeable and complex charcters were turned into jokes and thrown to the sidelines,great video!

[@Papillon234]

Keep up these great vids. Good points made 👍

[@erismorn1461]

Nick and Travis aswell as Madison and Alesha made that Series far more better then OG TWD in my opinion i loved the first 3 Seasons!

[@cherryblossom7120]

I thought nick and chris would of made a great duo. I would of like seeing them on screen together becoming close like real brothers. They were opposites too, nick being carefree and chris being angst, it would had very interesting to see that.

[@antons7210]

Nick became my favorite character right off the bat. I've also never been an addict myself, but I still very much related to Nick cause of his mindset and other struggles with life in general. His death was definitely the death of the show for me, the worst part is that how he dies is not even interesting. If you're gonna kill off such a great character, you should at least send them off properly. Like dedicating an entire episode to it. Just like they did with Rick

Frank Dillane was his generations Johnny Depp.

[@mariogaeta8911]

Wow the original plan for the 7 seasons would have knocked TWD out of the park. Especially as it would have happened as TWD disappeared up it’s own bottom. What a shame we never got such a great story!

[@KaleGaitan-s5g]

Nicks character resonated with me a lot. A former addict. The choices he made. Nick was just me I'm different skin. Stopped watching after he died

[@user-pt3oo7si5v]

Plz we can create a community for bring back nick

[@willyjakkz]

I'd put Season 3 of FTWD from the Ranch to the Proctors storyline up against any season of TWD. Nick and the entire cast were at their best!
