The Walking Dead Spin-Offs...are they worth your time?

[@JamesDM152]

I definitely hope you do Fear. The show in my opinion gets better but there are definitely times where everything drags. I know this might not help get it chosen but I need to be honest. The last season is so disgustingly terrible the only way I'd watch it again is if you recapped it because it would be hilarious. It's the most cringe acting ever and it's amazing because all the actors once acted great in this show! It's baffling really. Anyway you're awesome and I've never donated to people before but as I've been watching KZbin on my TV consistently now I see how much you and other creators put into all this. It's honestly impressive so Thank you for putting in your time to make my life a little better! Cheers! JamesDM

[@Howesenberg]

Wow, thank you so much for the generous SuperThanks! It means a lot. Fear The Walking Dead is planned for next year, it may be sooner but can't say for sure yet.

IMO the main show should have followed the comic story more, mainly by having Carl survive to the end and having Rick’s story end in the main show. I feel like this would be a more fulfilling ending and they could’ve made the Rick spinoff one about Carl and life after instead, but they decided they didn’t want to pay Chandler Riggs anymore so they ruined the show by killing him off. It’s kinda sad that the bottom dollar and profit of the show came before telling a fulfilling story like the comics

[@shloprop4751]

I haven't watched the show very far, but it kinda seems like they wanted to follow the comics but also wanted to do something original. And they couldn't make up their mind

​@216cle he's literally the MOST important character...why wouldn't they tbh

[@Nic9458]

@@Kirasfox from my understanding, the sole reason they didn’t keep paying him was the fact a new contract would have to be negotiated since Chandler Riggs was about to turn 18 and AMC didn’t want to pay him any more so they just found a way to kill him off, they did it with other characters like Dale and even having characters like Maggie leave the show was because of contract disputes. It baffles me that they refuse to pay actors who made the show what it is, and kill fundamental characters to cut corners and save money

[@rasplez9889]

The best part of fear was seeing normal society utterly collapse, which we really didnt see in the main show because rick just wakes up after everything already happened. We need more of the first season of fear in different parts of the world and how they adapt to it. Maybe even from the government and scientist perspective trying to keep it secret and contained. Or from the perspective of a soldier. There are so many avenues they can take it even as short stories, but they seem to keep wanting to do the same thing with the same characters.

[@ArgusLart]

Agreed. When I watched Fear the Walking dead I had the urge of watching everything going down and once it hit the status quo of the main show, I dropped it. If Fear The Walking dead were an Anthology with each season covering a self contained plot showing the start of the spread at different places around the World, I think it would have been way more interesting. Perhaps a character or another crossing over, but mainly self countained seasons.

[@charlessmith9753]

Daryl Dixon is actually solid and we’re gonna get a lot of world building. I’d say even if you don’t cover Maggie and negan for now, please do cover Daryl Dixon. I was frustrated how quickly the nuns got dispatched but honestly it’s been pretty good overall. Not perfect by any means

[@beentheredonethat5908]

I actually thought the nuns dieing so quickly added an element of reality to the show. Let's be honest, young military and actual combat knowledgeable men would very quickly destroy them, they served their purpose and their courage was amazing. They stood no chance and knew it, yet winning wasn't the goal, protecting the boy was, buying him time and space, and they did in heroic and selfless fashion. Practicing with weapons and actually engaging in war and death are different. Put a black belt of 20 years in a ring with a 2 years trained mma fighter and see who wins, it won't be the black belt, it will be the.combat warrior , trained and experienced in actual fighting and who can handle the truth of being hit and hitting, over the one who trained to throw hits, but never has. Then the real world truth, males are made for combat, bones structure, muscles, nerves, all made to fight, faster, stronger, more aggressive, against smaller and more defensive women, the nuns had no real desire to hurt or kill, except a few, and they stood little chance against a stronger and better armed opponent. If the nuns had fought from a distance , used technique and distance they would have stood a better chance, but face to face, guns vs melee weapons, they did far better then I thought they would.

[@BearInterrupted]

Daryl Dixon is moving in the direction of "What Daryl wants" - they just can't do it in the 1st episode as the narrative shift wouldn't make sense for a character who has been the protector for so long. The cinematography alone is worth watching the show and seeing the initial outbreak in Paris was amazing (not a spoiler as there are scenes in the trailer). I rank the spin offs in this order - FTWD, Daryl Dixon, Dead City, World Beyond, Tales ... with The Ones Who Live most likely topping the list but TBD

[@21_Germ]

I’ve watched every project in Twd series, and not gonna lie Daryl Dixon was the best spin off I’ve seen so far. While there were zombies, it felt like a significantly different atmosphere compared to the other shows. I won’t spoil anything, but I definitely feel like there is potential.

@@Howesenberg i just think thats part of his character and part of why fans love him so much he cares about others way more than himself in a way he's kinda selfless but he's also badass and is able to fight for himself at the same time. i feel this spin off is as much about him helping others and also him finding himself in others. Either way I understand your viewpoint I just think there is more to it than that. i would recommend giving at least 1 or 2 more episodes a go but if you don't like his character I cant guarantee you'll get hooked.

Fears first season is so damn good. I loved that scene where they're on the water and watching the city get bombed.

I think Dead city is actually worth watching (even though it feels like more of the same). The problem with TWD being a "cinematic universe" is that I don't think the concept warrents enough material for all these shows. At the end of the day there's only so much you can do with zombies before it gets repetitive. I understand why AMC made all these spin-offs though (more money lol, this franchise is their cash cow now).

It's insane that Fear the Walking Dead started out as a spin off/prequel focused on the early days of the apocalypse but then after 3 seasons nearly every main/supporting character from the first three seasons is killed off and one of the main characters from the main show takes over the series. Only for then two more characters from the main show to show up as major characters before finally getting rid of all the returning main show characters in the final season and reintroducing the original protagonist to finish up the show.

[@The-Ent1ty]

I think in Fear you get to see two (of my favourite moments) the son, with the swept back hair, becomes a whisperer because he believed that the herd had saved him from a pack of dogs. The second favourite moment was Strand talking to a cosmonaut that is currently up in space, through a radio he found on a beached yacht. I personally like watch shit hits the fan in these movies and disaster movies, mass panic and mass destruction.

[@AB-mw8oz]

Fear is the only one I think should be covered. or atleast the first 2 seasons. What I loved about Fear was how realistic the downfall of society was. Nobody believed Nick and what he saw because he's an addict, and initially the only people turning were druggies who'd overdosed. Nobody knew what was going on. But in some scenes where you see paramedics who'd been bit. You know whats coming and its horrific, but course they are clueless as they don't know the bite will kill you. And then season 2, setting the show outside of the US was great in seeing how other countries handled the situation. And especially Mexico was a great choice because it was the Cartel who took over where the Government abandoned. Not too different from Mexico today, especially in the Northern regions. After Season 2 it became a standard people vs people show and I stopped watching after season 4. Which is a shame because I think seasons 1 and 2 are 2 of the best seasons in the entire TWD franchise.

This same uncertainty breaks Travis character, as he learns he can no Longer trust figures of authority, as he learns to have agency in this world and learns that it is impossible to save everybody...

[@5geeseinabucket]

Nobody does, just cause a zombie burns you doesn’t mean that it will infect you

[@Jay3up]

While I agree that in shows like this main characters have insane plot armor I don’t see how getting burned by a walker should kill you

[@bloodyraptor6251]

Did you forget they all carry the virus?

[@SaintPablo42]

Like Negan said to Olivia in Alexandria... Doooon't care, where's Rick?

[@Howesenberg]

Damn, I missed an opportunity to use that clip in the finale episode

[@goldenhrs-gs9ke]

Here is your convincing 1: everyone wants it 2: you make money 3: you have content Boom

[@karelhemala5699]

I am curently in season 4 of FTWD and its great so far. Didnt see dead city, daryl or world beyond, but I have to change that.

[@cheesybeans9476]

Ah I quit the show after what happens quite early in season 4 tbh, I didn't like that at all. That and the shoe doesn't seem to handle killing off characters very well.

[@karelhemala5699]

@@cheesybeans9476Yes, Nick died and I found that a good thing, because the main cast seemed immortal in season 1-3. This just got better with Nicks death because you started to worry about them

[@Ollie43241]

Fear is an amazing show in my opinion season 3 I’m pretty sure will fully convince you to make a series on it honestly it’s in my top 5 shows of all time I love it

[@prackprackprack4169]

IMO Keith David has the best speaking voice of all time. Dude can sing like a Fergalicious songbird too

[@The_Real_deBizzle]

Definitely give Daryl Dixon a shot. I'll admit that the first episode isn't that good, but trust me, it gets so much better. I almost dropped it after the first episode but I'm glad I didn't. Legit probably the most expressive Daryl has been since early walking dead. This show will not disappoint if you give it a shot.

[@TKR-ox9ff]

Numbies: nuns who happens to be zombies

[@pamysue]

I'm sure someone has told you, but just in case. About the Statue of Liberty, the original and most famous is the one located on Liberty Island, a gift from the French to America. The second is located in Paris, France, and was a reciprocal gift from the United States in 1889.

[@adam7365yy]

It's been a long time since I watched/ enjoyed walking dead outwith the comics but I had a lot of fun with the Dixon spin off. Aye it is just Dixon in France but it's good and hope season 2 is as good

[@herberthoover1257]

please do fear the walking dead less because its good or bad but because i want to see you talk about it like you completely changed the way i saw 28 days later just from that one video

[@MarkMark-un5vy]

The zombies were never the main focus in the Walking Dead. It's always been the people. It was stated awhile back.

[@drachenmarke]

How can you take a cable show with 18 million views per episode, and now Dead City brings in about 1.1 million on a good day.... all of these shows will tank.... get ready for a full reboot.

[@stonerbih420]

i loved daryl dixon, i love how it expanded on his past and let more insight into other parts of the world, and how things added together. however you are so right, i keep waiting for daryl to become his own person.

[@danielbhattacharjie6192]

I was so hyped for fear the walking dead, only because it was said at the start that this show would focus on the start of the apocalypse. So I got into it thinking that they're never going to go into the post apocalypse, and they went into it in the first season itself 🤣

[@GamerFish6969]

tbh fear the walking dead has 8 seasons so you could do it like breaking bad but keep up the good work howsenberg

[@Afish8me2china]

Fear the walking dead is the most infuriating show ever. First 3 seasons are incredible, then they butchered the show needless and so hard it never recovered

[@laurencewhite3615]

Fear the Walking Dead seasons 1-3 are so fucking good but then they absoloutley shit on it with season 4 onwards

[@pokerations]

terry crews and tyler james should be related in the WD universe

[@mr.awesome6011]

But everybody ate Chris

[@dylanmonstrum1538]

The first... like two seasons of FTWD was sooo good. Less about The Wildest Cowboy cop with a Big Iron on his hip, chewing ass and kicking gum, and more about a (relatively) normal family dealing with the outbreak, it was fantastic. They should have contiued the whole "this is what you could do" scenarios and what troubles could arise, like when they were on the boat, and lived with a militia, then a huge hotel ect. Awesome ideas of what someone could do in the apocalypse, and I thought they were going to explore more of those kinds of scenarios, so I was psyched. They could have done such a great job, a whole new spin on TWD world. But then it was just TWD: Bargin Brand. The characters would constantly flip-flop too, which was annoying. They destroyed Strand's character 100x over, and he was the BEEEST thing about that show. But, I think all of them will end like this. Great hype, huuuge potential, but it'll just be average, medicore and generally just C- grade all around.

[@Frank_MC]

With fear, Season 3 is one of the best seasons in the franchise, then it goes on a decline from that point, picking up again at season 6 but (apparently as I haven’t seen past 6) declines again after that. Though I think on a binge, the “bad” seasons could be more bearable without watching it on a week to week basis

[@moviereviews4life]

So you aren't doing the Webisodes? There are a few for both the original series as well as Fear the Walking Dead. One of them is actually on AMC Plus as a single episode length tying in with one of the later seasons of Fear.

[@Howesenberg]

I don't think I'll be covering anything else walking dead related tbh at least not for a while. I might surprise everyone with an upload later.

[@stephaniegray3083]

Question: how do you get letters in an apocalypse with Zombies? Daryl says something about your letters stopped!? Huh?

[@karolclark791]

The one with Maggie was just ok. It was a nice relaxing watch but nothing too exciting. The Daryl Dixon one brought me back to the level of excitement I didn't feel for this series in years

[@halorules64]

i hope to hear your thoughts on towl!!!

[@BRADH2O-OVER-HEAVEN]

You should do z nation it has 5 seasons and the zombies are pretty well used

[@Rjonesy101]

Had no idea there were six spin offs

[@xX-Anonymous-Xx]

I completely disagree with you about being tired of Negan. I'm leaning the other way... I am absolutely sick and tired of Maggie. They made her into some type of badass who is now beating the ever-living shit out of EVERYONE around her without so much as a scratch and I'm over it.

[@Howesenberg]

I agree on the Maggie part, I think I did say something about her negatively at some point. For Negan, I just think his story was dragged out way too long.

[@Vextonomy]

7:38 great company but the wear and tear gets worse exponentially (it still works well but the wheels and wear and tear takes a while to begin). Chair has nice cushioning

[@Howesenberg]

Well, I've only had it about a week so I couldn't possibly comment on that part. I'll keep a watch out over time.

[@goblin3810]

They should do a show called outbreak day. Follows a different person or group during the initial outbreak every episode

[@Grant_Howe]

There was originally going to be a plan for that essentially in an episode where you saw the fall of Atlanta, centred around the Walker in the tank Rick hides in in s1. The start of FTWD and a bit of Daryl Dixon shows the early days too it’s pretty decent

[@jennycat0592]

I really liked the first few seasons of Fear, the whole Mexico setting…. But then it became really boring when there were barley any walkers.

[@FrankBlaskovich]

Loved the Linkin Park reference!

[@CJGameing54]

I understand how exhausting it can be cuz you have to do more work than me in your videos but can't wait another month for the next one it's what I got to look for❤

[@Howesenberg]

It shouldn't be a month as I'm full time with it now, but this will be a long video, season 10 and 11 have more episodes. All I can say is I'm working hard to get it done.

[@Napkinxr]

Dude Daryl literally says something about wanting to go back home after not finding Rick at least six times each episode it’s actually kinda annoying

[@anna-leafowler4152]

I really recommend fear solely because of the Morgan storyline, also Dwight and his wife. There’s good stuff for sure. Of all the spinoffs it’s the best imo

[@SpiderCreep]

5:52 They actually cover more of Daryl's character, His goals, his delimas of being in frace, his past and his biological family aswell as his found family that he found along the way. This is kinda why you can't base it of the first episode, because the whole show explores parts of the Universe and parts of Daryl we have never seen before. Especially with Walkers... 👀

[@user-jt6rh8xy6n]

Strand would make a good dead rising protagonist. His ability to be charismatic despite the darkness of his situation reminds me of frank from the first game

[@gregthepeglegpregdreg]

I have to ask how the hell is Daryl not dead after getting acid burns from a walker's acidic sweat? Like if it has burned him badly enough to draw blood that has to be just as lethal as a walker bite or scratch right?

[@cristianojeda2418]

Yeah I’ma be honest forgot what episode I left off on for Daryl show but not interested to find out which to continue which is sad. Only real thing I do wanna know how the hell he ended up that far from home? The hell is his bike? And if he still ain’t home by end of We’re the Ones Who Live, are they gonna go looking for him? Wasn’t the whole reason Daryl left is to help find Rick and Michone? Pretty messed up if they didn’t appear end of his series and turns out they went looking for him to bring him back.

[@tipsyXtwo]

You hit it right on the head - “Fear” was supposed to be about the collapse and chaos of the beginning, and by Season 2 it became “TWD” so what was the point? They could have dragged out season 1’s story over 3 seasons and then see where to go

[@Biffa7]

Daryl Dixon spin off has actually been surprisingly good
