you should review each episode of foundation, season 2 just released

[@Ruleof2Review]

Loved it!

[@james45478]

Good thing it has a built in following. The show is mediocre. None of the characters are terribly likable and it is a relatively slow burn where very little actually happens. It could have been a movie special and nothing would be lost.

[@ARTEMIO143]

​@@mythcrafts where to watch my friend??

[@jason-ps3jw]

They should have started at episode 6, the only very interesting episode, didn’t want to miss a seconde

[@bekhyboo]

I love how TWD pairs up characters. They build each other up, in a good way or bad. I especially loved Neagan and Maggie characters sparking each other. I’m here for it.

[@yodawg4153]

I have to cross my eyes and stick my tongue out while I read "I'm here for it"

[@jonfreeman9682]

This is a great character study show focusing on two characters instead of a massive sprawling cast. I think the original series just grew too big with too many characters. By having a short season it helps to focus on good storytelling and keep costs down. AMC made the call to keep it to only 6 episodes. Good move.

[@luisdiago3761]

I love😅 dead city! Maggie and Negan , cool chemistry!

[@TheIrishRushin]

Maggie and Negan shouldn't have chemistry. He brutally murdered her husband. He should be dead by her hand. That would be realistic. You don't fuck your husbands murderer. There is no forgive and forget.

[@gmorksapprentice]

​@@TheIrishRushin what are you on about? They didn't fuck and she hasn't forgiven and forgotten. When someone says they have chemistry it doesn't automatically mean romantic.

[@tanepukenga1421]

I think the split screen of faces at the end was more the pair returning to their previous roles, oppressor and rebel, but under each others circumstances with Negan being the one trapped into keeping people safe, and Maggie being the one on the hunt so to speak. It makes more sense to me than Maggie suddenly getting over her now habitual hatred of Negan because of a few drawings, one being of a woman she's never met or seen before.

[@TheIrishRushin]

You don't not hate your spouse's murderer. Unrealistic. 100%

[@husaynalquaid1195]

I am interested to see the old Negan come and out and play in S2

[@shanehughes3511]

I think the "old" Negan will have a total breakdown next season. I think he can only take so much of playing that tough man who has no compassion. Yes, he will play the part to protect Hershel and Maggie as well as the people of The Bricks (Hilltop), Alexandria, Oceanside and the Commonwealth but he will struggle to step back into those shoes 13/14 years later. He was never evil, he took on an evil image for what he believed was the greater good but has since learned it was wrong. Having to do it again now, as a 60 year old man who has learned to cars for and love again other people and the weaker people, it may become too much for him. How many parents can he kill in front of their children or husbands in front of their wives again before he gives up and says no? My bet is by the time Maggie gets to him again, he will be a broken soul who she will have to put back together again.

[@tanepukenga1421]

I want him to be confronted by a still alive Janine or one of the kids he used to teach. Get his past coming up as a dirty reminder when he's acting like big 'ol bossman again to push his character development. Mostly because, lets be honest, he's one of the few TWD characters to actually get a full blown development arc. I guess that all depends on the writer's strike though. Let's hope it doesn't become another Heroes.

[@aelee9024]

Mr. Think Story, you have proved yourself here as both astute and clever. Thank you for giving credit where credit was due, not filling up your vid with opinions about different actors which may or may not have any relation to the end product. You pay homage to the old ones and 11 seasons and you make room for the series to grow. You showed, imho, a truly telling bit from Nunny Isa, her accusing Daryl of abandoning Laurent. Cheap shot

[@Budbrothers420]

Thanks for the ending explaining I sorta got it when watching the episode but this definitely filled in the gaps

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Dead City has way better characters than the mainline. On top of Negan’s maximum charisma points the smaller number of people in our group gives the mains more screen time. There’s no filler characters like Tara Rosita Aaron etc. Every dead city episode is focused on one or both main characters

[@JeNn0mic0n]

I am loving this show! It has such psychological context! Awesome!

[@datmeme8967]

I was worried about this show, but I like the direction it's headed now. Only weak point in the narrative is Maggie telling her son that she realizes he's right about her obsession with Negan superseding her concern for him, and then deciding that the solution is to actually be MORE obsessed by trying to "finish it". Might have made more sense if Herschel had suggested that Maggie finish it so they can be free from the cloud over their lives instead of just going full brat mode.

[@ShaggyDabbyDank]

Herschel doesn’t want Negan dead. He doesn’t forgive negan for killing his dad, but the only Negan he’s ever known has been a changed one to the stories his mother tells

Yea I agree but they have me scared the Rick series will just be more and more seasons.

[@shanehughes3511]

The Walking Dead really felt like it should have ended years ago. However, I'm liking these new spin offs. The way dead city is centred around a few of the shows original characters and expands upon their story is very enjoyable. The fact the new characters are also well developed and not total campness is good too. I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing season 2. The two actors playing the villains are great. They have always played great villains and will be great in season two. Maggie perhaps finally moving on to the point where she may forgive Negan 16 years after he murdered her husband is also good character development. Together they could become good allies. It's also quite perverse in a totally realistic way that Negan may take on a father role for Hershel Jr in his teenage years. Hershel never knew his father and so it's hard to hate Negan for killing a father he never met. Where as Negan feels that perhaps he needs to makeup for Glen's absence. The Daryl Dixon spin off also looks good. I've always wanted the walking dead to move to Europe. FTWD going to Mexico and Texas wasn't a good move and stagnated. Europe offers a totally new world where society can have adapted entirely differently (castles, forts and ancient structures as colonies etc). France will be interesting and it gives us the chance in future seasons to see more of Europe near France like the UK, Netherlands, Spain and Germany etc. For the first time in about 6 years or so, I'm positive about thr walking deads future. It could go on a long, long time now with this new format. Rick and Michone will be fun too.

[@dragonvliss2426]

Well, castles and fortified manors were originally created during the medieval period to hold off the ( more adept ) equivalent of Walkers -- so it makes sense they would again become fortified havens in a zombie apocalypse.

Overall wasn't bad. Still better than Fear the Walking Dead. But idk.. I felt something was lacking? And I feel the writers are gonna drag on this story with Maggie and Negan and I'm already getting bored with it. Like we get it. She hates him, she's never gonna forgive him. But we need to end this shit already. One of them needs to be killed off. Give them a proper send off. I can already guess how season 2 will go. Maggie is gonna have some sympathy and go back and rescue Negan. 1st season: rescue hershall. 2nd season: rescue Negan. 3rd season: rescue Maggie. lmao.

[@brentbynoe3767]

The show isn't about Maggie and Negan bruh , but they are the main charactors of a much wider story, which is Dead City and the everything else surrounding it. Yes the usual fight for control and all that still lurks but then again in an acolyptic world, that tends to happen when one is trying to survive in a dead world 'But idk.... And while your getting "already bored" with the storyline, the storyline itself is the very reason this show existed so giving your view on it is fine but if your complaining, and think writers are doing poor job, you are more that welcome to come up with solid ideas do their jobs for them and best on your guesses i think you will do a better job ✌P.S this isn't personal, just my opinion

Personally I think that it's a good addition to the overall series, with this The Daryl one coming out the one with Rick & Michone and Fears final season we get the chance to see the hole Walking Dead World and understand what happed to it. We don't really need to know how it started or what caused it(it could be literally anything at this point just look @ The Division you could use it & it'd work) what we need is information on the rest of the world, we already know thanks to FTWD about the L.A. area & the early days of it and thanks to TWD we know about Georgia, Clementine showed use what happened with the Smaller Towns. There is still so much of the world in this little slice of hell to see that I hope that they keep going....

[@danielleschiazza6172]

I think she is softening up on him but she doesn't want to. She can't let go of that hate and she feels guilty when she does let go a little. I mean what he did to Glenn AND Abraham was horrible and she was pregnant so imagine!! Who wouldn't want revenge. Shit, I did and I was just watching. But I do think eventually she will finally let it go and forgive him. He definitely redeemed himself after all of the thing's he did for them. I think he felt he owed it to them as well. He is actually an asset to them in my opinion. He knows the group, he has a history with them no matter how dark it is. They know each other, they know each other's strengths and potential. They could all be so much stronger together if they can all get past......the past.

[@danielleschiazza6172]

Me too. I just remember back when she first left the hilltop and told Jesus she wanted him to be in charge in her absence. If I remember correctly she wanted to go out and create a new community or help build up an already existing one. Remember when those ladies in the mini van came looking to trade "knowledge" for supplies??? They told Maggie they had information, a book, on how to create a self sustainable community. Windmills, crops, all kinds of things. Maggie didn't exactly trust them but she made the trade. She built up hilltop even more and better and then decided that the knowledge she got from those ladies was valuable and that other communities should have it as well. She felt it was her responsibility to go and spread this knowledge. So I assume she is at these new communities for that reason.

[@caseyhart4999]

I have always had a bit of a strange relationship with TWD franchise as a whole. Never really got into it for the longest time until season 7 was about to come out and one of the first scenes I ever really watched was the final scene of season 6. I then watched all of season 7 week to week but wasn’t really impressed by it so I fell off after that. I would check in periodically to see where things were at and then leave it for a time and come back later. All this to say it’s funny the beginning of my walking dead journey is when Negan showed up on the scene. Since that is the case I never had any attachment to Glen or Abraham and never felt the hatred towards him others have. Anyway I really liked this season of Dead City and am looking forward to a season 2.

Ngl I hated the way Maggie and Negans relationship worked execution wise and made me lose interest at the start. However I love the choice here where Maggie ironically put Negan back in a position of power once again. Negan in order to protect has to revert back to his old self. It feels like the two characters will be tested to see if they can hold off their immoral obligations.

[@tanepukenga1421]

Notice how while they're back in their old roles, their positions are now reversed too? With Negan being the one unable to act as he wants due to people he cares about and Maggie the one on the attack in the exact opposite positions they were once in. Nice bit of narrative there. Including Maggie now having the 'traitor' in her midst instead of Negan in the form of a brainwashed son rather than a scarred lieutenant and Ginny poised to counter him at the Bricks.

[@frank_woods]

[@dragonvliss2426]

I never really bought Negan's "redemption" and still haven't forgiven him for Glenn's death. Negan returning to a more realistic position as a villain makes a lot of sense to me, and I will look forward to seeing how he adapts to life in the Manhattan of the Dama and the Croat. I love the acting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, so I'll be glad to see more of him. Maggie is a character I can live without, but she doesn't annoy me sufficiently not to watch _Dead City_. Anything with post-apocalyptic New York is always fun. Also looking forward for sure to the Daryl Dixon spin-off.

Despite its massive plot holes, the main show was good for the first 4 or 5 seasons. many "world gone to shit" stories are packed full of plot holes and thus aren't massive ridiculous stories and many have the story take place years after the events of the world go to shit with maybe little flashbacks here and there to explain what happened like TLOU. The Walking Dead's world being ruined by a bunch of slow-moving zombies is insane. I heard a guy once say that if you have the ability to break into a light jog, you can survive the world of The Walking Dead. There are also far more good people than evil people in the world so a group like the saviors suddenly going around killing, torturing, enslaving, and bullying smaller groups isn't really something that would happen after only a couple years into the apocalypse. It feels as if Negan showed up 5 years into the story, but remember that Judith is still a baby when he shows up. She can't even talk yet. And Judith was born a little less than a year into the apocalypse. Maybe 9 or 10 months. Also, the little flashbacks of Negan and Simon being against killing kids was pointless as Negan killed a 15-year-old and was going to kill Carl if I remember correctly hadn't that stupid tiger performed an ex machina. that being said, this show seems to take place YEARS after the main events of the story. It's a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Maggie is REALISTICALLY resenting Negan, even after the whole thing where they "came to a mutual understanding" at the end of the main show. the mutated zombies are interesting, though if it were me I'd add scarier variants and make them much faster, maybe make them able to climb and make more human-like noises like the zombies in TLOU. the problem with making changes that could improve this half-way decent show is that it makes the story not lore-friendly and it retcons a lot of what happened in The Walking Dead. and TWD had already done that in the past with the zombies. though, if you'd ask me, i would make this spin-off a one season story where Negan dies at the end. the show made a good job of me liking his character more than i did when i watched the show. of course i wasn't too keen on some of his cheesy lines (which makes him not very scary to me) but if those were re-written and if he was a little more ruthless, but also died at the end of the show, the show would've been the best it could be. another thing i'd do would be to make Maggie a little more likeable because i did find myself rolling my eyes a little bit at the stupid things she'd do. and i wouldn't make her so much of the protagonist of the story, because she really shouldn't be. this isnt breaking bad and the writers aren't good enough to write a compelling protagonist that's an anti-hero/anti-villain/villain. they shouldve had negan be more of a center focus and point of view character rather than the writers trying to have this nuetral bias between the two, leaning towards negan at random times but then later towards maggie. it just felt a bit strange to me. overall i'd give this show a 6/10 with a potential to be an 7.5/10 if it was writen as good as it could've been

[@someordinarydude9147]

It just didn't do it for me and I'm sad that's the case. I begrudgingly gave up on TWD after Carl died and always hoped something from the expanded universe will let this universe last a little bit longer for me. I gave this show an honest chance but idk. Maybe my relationship with TWD is like a soured intimate relationship, no matter what they do I can never care for it again.

It is going to happen. Hopefully this time next year Season 2 will be fully released 😎.

[@MJQueenForever]

Negan and Maggie sooo need the sage wisdom of my FG now... he's the only one who could talk to/get through to them both This spin-off is soooo good! I KNEW Maggie was leading Negan into a trap from the off, though. And why don't I believe that Negan personally killed Ginny's father? Sounded like he was saying it all to get her to leave, or else he'd have adopted every kid whose parents he killed... (which had to have been a lot tbf)

[@candistacey442]

I like this spinoff best. I wanna watch more asap

[@DrekiBerserkr]

Spoilers: My issue with Dead City is they hinted at the CRM coming and taking people's resources, but in the Ones Who Live, the CRM has been delt with. So who is the big baddie that will link all the spin offs.

[@brooksiedoodle5087]

I really hope they're not setting things up to make the Negan/Dama thing end like thr Negan/Alpha thing. He pretends to join the group in order to gain her trust, only to trick her and kill her. That would be boring to repeat that theme.

i already figured it all out after the walking dead the ones who survive aired. all these side stories are leading up to reuniting with rick and michone and joining the army theres 3 bases so it makes sense. dayril is in one, maggie and whats his name is in another.

Maggie is a villain

[@ShadowDragonBorn]

This whole series has been a complete surprise for me, I thought it was going to be a Negan and Maggie team up spin off series right after what happened in the main stream show, but really isn’t that at all. Now I’m like, why is Negan the way he is now? What happened to his wife and kid he once had? Why now also he being hunted down by bloody bounty hunters also? For the reasons that said during the season? Why now and not then when the crimes were happening? Why is Negans wrongs now being more a life threatening issue than it was once before? 🤷‍♀️ Questions I have feelings that won’t be answered . The ending also, Negan is exactly where he doesn’t want to be also, he has being forced to do things now that he doesn’t want to do, and to be honest only Negan knows how’s he’s going to tackle down this situation, Negan is just a man who is constantly trying his best to do the right things. I don’t know how things gonna happen in the next season as it’s completely unpredictable, will Maggie will make up her wrongs to what she’s done to Negan after everything that has happened or will she not bother? Negan the entire time was trying his best to save Hershel but Maggie had her own plans the entire time and it’s like only when she’s finally back home she like realises what kind of a man Negan has became, literally only asking Maggie just to look after Jenny even when they both thought Negan was being sent to his Death. Either way I feel like the potential now , there will be bigger conflicts between Maggie and Negan now as given to the situation is now, but both characters have seen what happened in the commonwealth with the big threat and life experiences throughout their years in the apocalypse, the conflict might not be as bad. I feel like Doma the real villain the entire time also, No one knows how big of a problem she is, how many people are following? How much is it that they actually have control over of? Is it just as big as the boogeymen commonwealth they once had to face? Or is it smaller? From what we seen as viewers in Dead City, Looked like Doma isn’t as big as a threat, just more of bandit crew that were based in Manhattan. They looked big, but not big enough and the true size of them is still unknown. Anyway, I’m sure Season 2 will be just as good as the first even if the season is given short amount of episodes, with just what 6 episodes in season 1? They really did a awesome job, short but it was all a good watch. It’s going to be awesome seeing how Negan tackles his situation, how is he going to do good from where he is now. I know for Certain Negan does not want to be what he once was, the bad guy, and SURE FOR SHIT HE AINT GOING TO BE FORCED STAYING ON THE EVIL SIDE. He’ll kill Doma if he has to, if that makes the world a better place for others.

[@LightningFox7]

Wasn't Maggie in Alexandria?

[@James-rm7sr]

I like it explaining what has happened to NYC following the virus. It would seem largely controlled at this point. The only thing they never explained at least to me was where did they get their food supply. I can fully understand where they are getting fuel and likely would push them far forward. However, a lack of food would simply make them an easy target. I do like both Neagan and Maggie. It is like they have reason to hate each other more so Maggie to hate Neagan, but she needs him at the same time. Her son Hershal losing his toe is a bit harsh. The show seems pretty good just some plot holes that I would like to see fixed.

[@finnsg4243]

They need to stop with the dramatic relationship and change things up, so many plot holes, so many random events, I wish Negan was planning on taking over the whole time and for the “redemption” to end.

[@Jahsizzl9]

Pretty accurate potrayal of modern day New York

[@winny8420]

This is best spin off so far for me

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

I feel like Maggie is the antagonist actually. Negan is totally the protagonist of the entire series. This next season will be a character study on him. What will he do to keep Maggie's kid safe, and what evil shit will Maggie do in spite of him. One could argue the Croat and dame are the antagonists too but at the heart, Maggie is the evil within.

[@WestSideGorilla1980]

[@jonny-b4954]

I really dislike how they have a complete inability to make a season without a "bad guy" or two. Like fuckkk, the conflict and drama should be surviving in the world. Not typical bad guys.

[@lostlock7167]

I hope for a spin off where all find together and fight against the people who captured Rick

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

And then Rick finally kills Negan and TWD universe can finally die. Until they create yet another spinoff where mankind starts over on the moon, yet the walkers somehow find a way to make it there too...
