The main problem with the Nuke Arc is that its not possible. The Pennsylvania wasn't capable of launching it's missiles. First of all, the ship was beached far from the water, which would have required a massive storm surge that would have had to severally damaged the sub and almost certainly knocked its weapons offline. However, launching a ballistic missile require the launch tubes to be submerged..

It actually makes sense for the radiation to dissipate. Fallout is the radioactive particles that have been vaporized( glass, concrete,dust, other parts of people) and thrown up into the atmosphere by the bomb. Once all of that settles or falls into the ocean. The area would be perfectly safe to walk around. In fact, after dropping our nuclear test bombs out in the desert, 1945, United States military personnel were able to walk around the area in less than a month. Of course they couldn't spend too long there. But yeah within a few years the place would be completely livable. People live in Hiroshima and nakizaki today.

[@Someth1ngLight]

There’s still radiation present in Japan after the nuclear bombs. When buying green tea there’s issues of where it’s grown because radiation is present in matcha people buy

[@MrTrees77]

@@Someth1ngLight are you sure that radiation isn't from the Fukushima plant.... the nuclear plant that went critical less than like 10 years ago? Not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying Nagasaki and Hiroshima are still large and livable cities today. Radioactive fallout from nuclear bombs is all dependent on how high up it's detonated and what type of nuclear bomb it is. Radioactive fallout from a nuclear power plant will last much much longer, cuz we are dealing with much more stable Isotopes. Whereas the elements used in nuclear bombs have much much shorter half lives. That's why it's actually really easy to make a nuclear bomb, it's just really, really hard to get the materials. Cuz not only do you have to have the materials to make a nuclear reactor. But then you have to take those radioactive materials and enrich them to a point where they are incredibly unstable. And only one hit from another unstable element can lead to a chain reaction. This instability causes them to dissipate at much faster rates than radiation from a nuclear disaster from the power plant.

It has been confirmed by the showrunners that Alicia did in fact get in infected from the bite, and that she was able to recover from the infection (after a long period of illness) due to her absorbing a lot of radiation from the blood of one of the radioactive walkers earlier. As we can see in S8 of FEAR, radiation therapy does technically work against the zombie infection, but in (almost) every case the amount of radiation needed would also kill the person you're trying to cure

@@spongedog0013 If you set off every nuclear weapon in the world AND let every nuclear plant go critical it still wouldn't be anywhere remotely enough to make the earth uninhabitable. Movies and media in general have given everybody the idea that nukes affect way larger areas than they actually do. In fact even in the show, if it were realistic, 10 of those warheads would only really affect a small part of Texas. Not basically the entire state. And after a few months the state would be pretty much completely safe to inhabit again. Nukes are deadly for sure. But nothing man-made is capable of destroying all life on the planet or the planet itself. The earth even recovered after the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs. And if that happened again it would be an extinction event for humans which is what it would basically take to achieve that.

You're not sacrificing honor by planting evidence to secure a conviction for a person you know for a 100% fact is guilty. These scenarios are quite literally a game of chess. There WILL be a winner and there WILL be a loser. It's not a thing of "the justice system will succeed if we just try hard enough" no, there are scenarios that if teddy played his cards right, which he did, he would never legally be able to be caught. That is why the ONLY, the literal ONLY option would have been to plant evidence. That's not sacrificing honor, that's reinforcing it by doing what needs to be done. We saw a similar situation in our own history with Ken Rex Mcelroy where the justice system had failed over and over and over until eventually the citizens took matters into their own hands and did what needed to be done. You earn your honor by doing that. Making the hard choices. That's where honor comes from.

Those radiation cones at 16:02 need to fan out a little bit more. Its more of a 30 to 45 degree cone depending on the size of the nuke.

Ya bro it makes no sense in the show the cop who planted evidence to feel so guilty he would ruin his own life. Why the guilt if he was certain the guy he put away was a serial killer? It doesnt make sense.

[@adrock_sokolov6570]

Here’s something. Carol took over a large city with its own militairy right after the fall of the outer areas. Its said in the new season that omaha fell but the video only showed buildings on the outskirts. Also rick and michone seem to know nothing outside of where they are now.

[@The1rust]

Teddy works because he has intrinsic traits which are found throughout history in others like him who enthrall those who have lost value and faith in their place within society. Hearing the charismatic well-spoken words of someone who can offer you both tangible and philosophical hope for something better would be hard to resist especially in an already apocalyptic setting such as this. Then you find out he's just another Jim Jones who didn't drink the fruit punch.

[@sifridbassoon]

The area of Texas described in the video is maybe, maybe a third of the state. That's a lot of acerage left over. It's also sparsely populated, so it probably has a larger percentage of people who survived the initial virus.

Lawton OK looks better after a zombie apocalypse than it did when I was stationed there

[@fduranthesee]

"Teddy" reminds me ALOT of Ted Kazcynsky

[@karljohnvillarias3371]

I really like Teddy's character it is so different from other villains feom Twd universe.

[@worldofdoom995]

Seems like the love child of Manson and Bundy.

[@terriblecontent8985]

W. Thanks for this amazing explanation, Bro. Lol.

[@stareatme9983]

The one man the CRM feared most

[@kencooper5017]

This was so much better than having to watch all those terrible hours of ftwd.

[@certifiedgluesniffer]

Yo I thought teddy was chill bruh 💀💀💀

[@stefsytfavs1]

Thank you for the synopsis it makes me thankful that I didn’t go on to the rest of the seasons after season three. That would’ve been such a waste of time.

[@VirgoMoonSoul]

I haven’t watched fear because my sister watched it for me and was saying how unfortunately long it is so I been catching up on it by you thanks for the videos

[@Moosey31]

TLDR: mad-man cult leader turns texas into the glowing sea

[@davepowder4020]

John Glover! He's come a long way since destroying the Earth in the Twilight Zone because we misunderstood "A Small Talent For War".

[@goldenknight2961]

It appears Austin was unscathed

[@wesrrowlands8309]

They like to stretch the suspension of belief a bit at AMC it seems even for something involving zombies.

[@Swell-Films]

Absolutely. The fear reboot is full of this sort of thing.

[@darrengaither3428]

so what about north Texas ? like Dallas and Ok boarder ? there are a lot of lakes and farm land up there. Also I guess the writers didnt do any research on how fall out works . if that many Bombs " shown on the map" went off more than just Tx would be unlivable. Also there are 3 Nuclear power plants in Tx that are pretty big.. I would say making one of those exploded would have been a better story line.

[@antibull4869]

Nuclear plants, even on Chernobyl scale failure, wouldn’t cause that much of an issue (at least American ones that is). It’s actually really cool just how safe those things are. It’s absurd, but entirely understandable lol

[@herbwitch5681]

Not just nuclear power plants. We’ve got chemical plants all along the coast making things that would curl your hair to know about, all surrounded by residential neighborhoods. And a lot of those chemicals need temperature controlled storage. The Texas coastline would have gone up long before the Fear crew got there.

[@MissSantaSwift]

"Our story starts in 1970" Am I watching the right Walking Dead as you?

[@NotyoBizness]

Victor Strand still sounds 100% like a DC Comics character. 😂😂

[@lisaowen6103]

Cool recap &links on the TWDU . I stopped watching TWD after the original series now that the ones who live is on. The back story's timeline is good to know..

[@riphumbleoffknowledge]

Teddy is by far a top 5 villain right behind names like The Governor and Negan. With a little bit better writing and directing Teddy couldve been a Grade A+ TWD Villain

[@DonLoco3]

The more of these video explanations I watch make me incredibly glad I never watched the series.

[@goldenknight2961]

Was expecting ink spots to play when the fallout title card appeared
