But if Rick was dead and dale dies from that walker soon anyhow then why would they have any reason to leave, Hershel would probably want them gone but I think Shane would beat them if Hershel did try to force them. But it’s just an opinion

And you're forgetting one very important thing. Negan told Rick later that his instinct was to kill Rick in that lineup instead of Abraham. The only reason he did not do that was because he didn't want to kill a father in front of his son. So, Shane would have been the one to die in that lineup and Abraham would have lived.

[@CMMalvado]

On top of that, I doubt Daryl would've attacked Negan since he didn't like Shane much, meaning Glenn would've survived, and Daryl wouldn't have been imprisoned by the Saviors.

[@dads_diy]

True story

[@waitwhat1052]

Damn🤯

[@CL053DC45K37]

I doubt that scene would have happened because Shane would have them take out the first group of saviors that tried to stop them. Rick just kept trying to go around but Shane would dropped that first small group and they've have been to get to hilltop and get Maggie help.

[@miekgg]

@@CL053DC45K37then it would’ve been a war at hilltop, which ultimately is better than that line up

[@Teabagsforlife]

The main problem with this theory is that people wouldn't follow shane. At first, sure. But if Shanes at the farm without Rick to calm Hershel down. What happens? We know Glenn would side with Maggie and Hershel. Dale and Daryl didnt even like shane. Only person who liked shane was Andrea but that wouldn't be enough to gather support for Shane to be leader. As much as Rick changed over time, he could still be reasonable, which all leaders need. So even though there are times a leader cant be reasonable and has to have the final say. If you do that all the time, people will get fed up. Unless you take the Negan approach and scare people into staying. Shane's faults, lie in the the day to day duties of being a leader. When shit goes down, Shane is great. But you need to be a lot more than good in a fight to be a leader. Thats why Rick will always be a better leader than shane. Because Rick sees the bigger picture, while shane just sees whats right in front of him.

[@awardedaqua580]

Very nice explanation 👍

[@Aaron87ggg]

I agree with everything you said but I disagree with it being the main problem. I think its mostly comes down to the fact that Rick cares about the group while Shane only cares about Lori and Carl. Shane would gladly sacrifice anyone to save his "family" like he did Otis. Where Rick would never do that. Its even there main disagreements are about, saving Merle from the roof, going into town to save Hershel, saving that kid they captured.

[@dontforgettonerfthepig3322]

I mean, yeah, he wouldn't be able to lead the group, but does it really matter much? Shane is a survivor, he'd be just fine without them

[@InLoveWithaPaladin]

Very well said... especially the part about Dale and Daryl not liking Shane. I didn't think of that. 👍🏾

[@andrewflores5666]

Thank you bro, you said it perfect.

[@dannyb382]

Shane was all about heading to Ft. Benning. We learned in Season 4 that Ft. Benning was over run. I think that after "Shane Killed Rick" he would have pushed to that base and him and the group would have died in route or once they entered the base would have been over run by the Walkers.

[@SuckMyT0e]

True. And ye's the type to sacrifice everyone and anyone to "keep Lori and Carl safe" so eventually it would have been just them 4 imo

[@PapaVesemirDlaMnieWodeczka]

In season 2 Dave said that Ft. Benning was over run not season 4

[@102-d7i]

It was season 2 we found out Ft. Benning fell, when Rick shot the guys at the bar

[@doejon9424]

Also, I think the last of the bunch from Fort Benning was that squad of guys that the Governor mowed down.. which indicates that they all survived pretty long. That Dave guy could have been a liar tho. There are closer military bases to Nebraska than Fort Benning. I guess it's left up to cannon & the imagination. Why travel from Nebraska to Georgia.. for a military base ?? It's nit picking I guess.

[@DoMoTV22]

Na they wouldn’t die they would have gotten trough it somehow 😂 gotta continue the series

[@Outisx777]

I think most realistic thing to happen is Rick talks Shane down, Shane helps the group leave the farm but gets separated. During that first winter, Shane joins the Governor. He either fights on the side of or turns on the Governor. Either way eventually re-joining the group. And throughout the seasons, with Lori gone, Shane Rick & Daryl would be really close with little to no conflict with one another. Shane would help Rick keep Carl alive after Lori's death.

Simply, Rick’s short comings are a result of him being a better leader. Shane was willing to do what he believed needed to be done with very little regard for others. The tightness of the group is because Rick was willing to work things out but ultimately would put his foot down and pull the trigger if needed. Shane would’ve fractured the group early and gotten everyone killed.

[@Mari-il4bw]

I agree and think Shane would have been a terrible leader because for one I think he wouldn’t have protected the group like it was his family if anyone challenged him or he just didn’t like them he would have killed them I mean he even tried to kill Rick in the woods his best friend or at the very least he thought about it before dale caught him. Shane was way too unhinged and yeah people are becoming fans of him now but people seem to be forgetting he had a lot of bad qualities and came off too evil he did a lot of unethical things

[@8bitfae]

@@Mari-il4bw Just to add on, he was becoming unhinged largely because he could Not handle what it took to take another life, and that's fair. It shouldn't be easy. The guilt was eating him up, and if he had taken Ricks life, it would have significantly increased the groups likelihood of falling to his hands, if not his plans.

[@wevertonpereira21]

Prolly they all would be the dead when the horde attacked the camp, if it weren't for Rick's weapons.

[@rayzor1380]

I think if shane lived we wouldn't of got the governor in season 3 coz Shane would of just killed him . And I think the same with Negan. I doubt he'd of let Negan live after what he did to glen. Come to think of it without the governor they might of just stayed in the prison. So in a way if shane did live The walking dead would of ended a lot sooner.

[@samanthaM7119]

Literally all I can think of is the school run where he ended up shooting Odis? (can’t remember the characters name) so that he could make it out. Shane would’ve sacrificed so many people just to make it to the next day had he stayed alive. Lori still would’ve died and he would’ve been enraged at the group for being ‘negligent’

[@HerbCoswellBornAgain]

The only scenario where i could see Rick and Shane BOTH surviving, is if Shane decided to run off with Andrea, deciding for whatever reason decided Lori ain't worth it and/or Rick calming him down, and Shane unable to be around Rick and his family.

[@JockeyVR]

Shane would've joined the saviors or the claimers, I think that if he did join Woodbury that he would not like it because he wouldn't wanna be taking orders from the governor. Same goes with negan, but I believe Shane wouldn't mind it. The saviors have a lot of resources, Shane would know that if he did anything against negan that it would waste his opportunity. Shane would definitely join the claimers, it would be a rough start but when they point a gun at rick in s4e16 Shane would kill the claimers, and he would see rick bite Joe's throat out. Shane would love this side of rick, so much so that I think in s5 when rick started wearing the brown shirt, Shane would take his murder jacket. When rick spares negan, Shane would replace daryl in s9e4. Honestly I have no idea if shane would even make it to s9, i think he would be killed in the lineup.

[@rickpowers3677]

With Rick out of the way Shane would've eliminated people he thought was too weak. With Shane the group would've never made it to the prison because he would've either eliminated them or they would leave of his leadership or lack thereof. The only people Shane cared about was Lori, himself, the baby, and Carl. To Shane everyone else could take a flying f_____. Another scenario is Shane and Darryl bucking heads or Darryl just leaving the broken group to go find his brother. I'll tell you another little tidbit as well and that is Shane was spent. He knew it, so he wanted Rick to kill him because he couldn't bring himself to kill Rick. If Shane was in the lead Carol would've never lived to be the character she became; because she would've been deemed to weak and Shane would've eliminated her behind the group's back and that's when Darryl who suspects what Shane did leaves the group to go find his brother. Shane is not a leader. He's a substitute teacher. With Shane as the leader they would've never met Negan. "Here we are folks back in fantasy land." See what I did there?

[@1roundleft821]

Lets say he shoots Rick in the head and goes back to the house what kind of BS story do you think he'll tell? Oh and on the way there he'll meet Carl? What story do you think he'll tell?

@@rickpowers3677 He didn't just give up on Otis. Otis had a wounded leg and if Shane stayed they both would've died, resulting in Carl's death too. And even if Shane decided to sacrifice himself and give Otis the medicine, Otis would've probably died too which would also lead to Carl dying. So the only option left was for Shane to sacrifice Otis and save Carl. What would you do in that situation like that with a guy you met like yesterday?

[@viiofwands3076]

Personally, I think Shane would’ve adopted some of ricks mindset kind of like Rick adopted Shane’s mindset in the later seasons. Rick and Shane are kind of like yin and Yang in the series. Shane adapted to the new world quickly but as time passes he will learn to become more middle grounded like Rick did.

Now I'm really excited for walking dead destinies. Its a new game coming out with action gameplay mixed with Telltale decisions, the player rewrites seasons 1-4, what-if style. The biggest of which from the trailer yesterday, was Shane killing Rick during their confrontation. I think Shane will have no choice but to adapt to Rick's way of thinking, otherwise the group will collapse.

[@wevertonpereira21]

What made Shane lost his mind, is that for him Lori was his woman already, and then see her again with his best friend who he thought was dead, of course it would drive him crazy. But he was a good man, turned savage, but good man.

[@louwepost4421]

@@wevertonpereira21 Agree. The point is that Shane went too impulsive with a lot of things and it would break up the group eventually. It has a good side of course if you are capable of making hard decisions very quick but it is also a huge unnecesary risk. Shane was strong but too impulsive. At the start Rick was a bit weak but he always used his mind and thinking carefully what to do. They did a good job kiling the walkers in the barn but he also made a huge risk to open it uncontrolled and emotional. I wish Shane was still alive and would be best friends with Rick.

Wow I love this! Except I don’t think the group as a whole would’ve wanted to follow Shane after the farm.

I think realistically Shane would break after killing Rick at some point after, not right then but the guilt would haunt him. Shane was ahead of the curve because he knew how to get things done but it also was his detriment as he mentally wasn’t good with doing what needed to be done and so he likely goes off the deep end after the prison

[@ucnguyenanh9414]

I like to think that even Rick didn't stab him on that hill, Shane would just shoot himself.

I don’t believe Shane’s presence would be all the good endings your proposed. I strongly doubt Shane had the leadership skills as he devolved to hold the group together.

[@danielramos6325]

[@MyNameIsKayser]

I think one fatal flaw of thinking about "what if said character still lived" is that people generally expect that they were going to stay the way the were the last time we see them. Shane could've changed if he was still alive, and i don't think he would've stay the brutal practical leader type that he was. I like to think that maybe he would've have opposite arcs with Rick. When we're introduced to Alexandria, maybe he would've followed the rules and stayed out of trouble. I don't know. It's just kinda boring to imagine Shane just staying like his season 2 version forever.

So True, gotta put that into consideration but it's definitely a toss up because he could've even became worse than season 2.

Shane would have been really off of the deep end if he was still around. He lost it in S2. He was ahead of the group as far as "what needs to be done " but he compromised the group, almost getting them kicked off of the farm multiple times because he didn't think, he was too hot headed. He wanted Lori for himself, and Carl willing to kill his best friend over them. Being with them and leader wouldn't have been enough. He didn't plan, see things that were coming, he wouldn't have saved members of the group in trouble, but he would have left them. He wanted to leave Sophia, Think if that was your child... The group wouldn't have survived. He was more Gun ho than Rick, but Rick's patience and way of reading people and foreseeing and planning saved the group.

[@Number1handle]

I’d never expect this but what if there was like a mini comic series where Shane killed Rick and led the group, but they just go over how different the main plot points in TWD would be. Maybe some situations are avoided, some worse off than the true story.

[@NotAShawn]

Faults and all aside I think Shane surviving would have shown more about his past and former relationships which may shed light on the love for his friend to try and save him and then to at least make sure he saves ricks family knowing the odds of rick survivg the hospital was slim he then assume ricks position more as a place of honor, duty, and respect as that is what it was at first and its hard to fall out of love with someone especially given the circumstances stances. And lori messing with Shane's head on the farm would lead well into Lori's comic book death which I agree with and shane getting over it fast bc she was essentially the reason he had to kill his best friend. Despite ricks objectively bad decisions up until the prison and regardless of what anyone says shane was the most realistic. Anyone of us would do anything to save our child and in the zombie apocalypse your head state would cause you ondo things you would bash Shane for. Rick far exceeded Shane in dark casualness by the time they got to the prison. Shane wasnt always a bad guy. But he was always an anti hero. And that is the objectively therealest image of who would survive. There are no good or bad guys.. its just those who are willing to do what it takes to survive and then those who enjoy it. But then again Shane and Lori could have just been having an affair before the walkers came 😅

[@krilleorrell358]

So much truth in one video!!

[@ckgjr30]

Saying Shane would get over Lori quick is not realistic. He literally went crazy and was willing to kill his best friend because of his love for Lori. If anything, I think her death would have put him over the edge in a different way, such as him going ballistic against the Governor, which she dies in the comics based on his ambush, and then Shane losing it towards the Gov would be the downfall of the rest of his group, because he'd probably be quicker to sacrifice any of his group aside from Lori and Carl.

[@Marsalisbury]

I think Shane probably would've killed Hershel after he got bit too, I don't think he would've thought as fast as Rick did.

[@FreddyD177]

Man I miss how good this show was. Shane and Rick were the perfect duo for this series it’s a shame Shane dies in season 2 but for good reason it’s crazy how even later in the good seasons with Rick you would still think about Shane from time to time even tho he’s gone

[@alanrichardson1816]

I've always wondered about such a scenario. You made a brilliant video here, mate.

[@madilyncunningham977]

In this theory I sometimes wonder although his main motive will be to protect Lori and Carl, I feel like something in Shane’s brain wasn’t ticking right. I wonder if eventually with all the killing he would’ve done and trauma he’ll endure if he would even start to feel as if Lori, a baby, and a kid Carl were “a burden”and would just end up not caring and worry more about what will keep him alive 🤔🤔

[@martinjrsaucedo8598]

As Krazy and selfish as he was turning I think he would've left Lori & Carl behind and taken the baby.

[@writingjake6684]

Daryl and gleen figured out shane was trying to kill rick so it wouldnt go well

[@BrayhatesU_U]

now there is a video game coming about this

[@linaskranauskas]

lost me at point (not that shane would have brought the group to prison at all) where you say Hershel would still be alive if Shane was in charge. Hershel WAS only alive because Rick saved him. Why skip that important part?

[@jonathankelly4477]

It was awesome watching Jon Bernthal's portrayal of Shane just going further and further off the deep end.

[@jacobwhelan45]

The multiple times Let Her Go started playing was gold

[@edwardhughes1928]

i think they'd be able to "coexist" if rick never made it to the camp, still searching Atlanta, ended up being in the hospital that with the other cops that were led by dawn, in that instance, i dont think the group would of found the prison, they would of gone to fort benning instead of cdc, maybe wouldnt of lost jackie, maybe not have lost amy, probably wouldnt of met hershal and family, never lost otis, carl wouldn't of gotten shot, might of met completly different people, maybe have gotten rid of negan early in the series...

[@louwepost4421]

Its all speculation. Without Rick they would also have faced problems and losses.

[@cyborg2254]

No way would the group follow Shane after season 2. They’d definitely put two and two together after Glenn and Daryl reveal what happened to Randall, the only person who even liked was Carl at that point. It’d be a better idea to have him survive a fight with Rick with a serious injury, run into the woods and be found by Michonne, Andrea is not left at the farm (or maybe she is or maybe she dies) and they stick together until Woodberry where Shane becomes a trusted enforcer for the Governor

[@crimsoncreepermc1920]

Realistically, I feel that the group would’ve failed somewhere along the way without Rick. Leading to almost all of their deaths.

If they made two versions where Rick survived and where Shane survived I surely would’ve watched both no question!

[@South_0f_Heaven_]

I’ve had a man-crush on Jon Bernthal after the inception of The Wslking Dead Halloween Night, 2010

[@Motyy]

Can you make what if: Shane never loved Lori ( means Rick and Shane could be friends through the series ) woodbury / the governor never existed the bridge in season 9 was never worked on eugene never said he doesnt know a cure and they went to dc instead of the humans eating humans in season 5 they somehow find Negans group in Season 5 and join them I think they would be the most interesting ones which changed the story the most

[@Motyy]

And btw this video was not really a what if because the story did not change. You only said what Shane would do in Ricks position. I think the biggest story changes would have started at season 5. Shane would have killed all the people at Sanctuary and take it over instead of going in for help, protect it like the Prison. They never would have gotten to Alexandria and everything what happend after

[@byeah4823]

you know alexandria is in dc right

[@Robertgilbert2204]

“I’m sure others influenced you, but I like to take full credit”

[@BigSeanBeams]

I wonder if daryl would have followed shane like he did Rick. I feel like Shane and daryl may have ended up being in a similar situation as Shane and Rick and fought to the death as well

[@Ileanwhenitalk]

I like this what if, but in all honesty you weren’t taking a lot of creative liberties which led to it falling flat at most points. This video is basically summed up as “what if Shane did exactly as Rick did”.

[@jack_allen243]

Michonne likely wouldn't have reached the prison since if Lori was alive they wouldn't have needed to go on the formula run and now I'm going down the entire rabbit hole

[@heroofsovngarde]

If she had trouble producing milk for the baby they might have still needed the formula run. She would’ve lost a lot of blood, probably been unconscious for a long time and probably hasn’t been eating/drinking enough to produce so it’s very likely that still would’ve happened.

[@taserrr]

This just all assumes things don't happen that we KNOW of, but doesn't account for anything we do NOT know of. For sure people wouldn't follow Shane the way they did Rick, that impact could be massive.

[@bhrys_vert1g034]

God I wish this was a show it has so much good shit to offer. I’ve always thought of a bunch of what if scenarios, like what if Rick and Daryl never met Jesus? What if Rick was awake during the outbreak? What if Morgan and Duane did go with Rick to Atlanta? SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!

[@TriGgaPenG]

Starting to think you'd fell off the planet 🤣🤣 get fear watched n give us a decent review 🤣🤣 hope all is well

[@liltwistedgamer]

If Shane killed Rick I still don’t think he would be with the group. Because of both Carl and Darly. Carl will appear in of Shane like in the original saying his name. He will see Shane’s gun drawn, then see his dad dead on the floor he slowly process what’s happen. Shane tries to make Carl believe him by lying to him. Carl then pulls out his gun asking Shane why did he do it? Shane is a lost for words. Carl either kills Shane like in the original, expect he’s not a walker and returns back to the house announcing. Shane killed Rick and he killed Shane. Or Carl turns around and runs away back to the house as Shane runs after him yelling him to stop. Carl makes it back to the house crying telling Lori that Shane killed Rick. Now second scenario Daryl. Lets say Carl believed whatever lie Shane told him after escaping the heard, everyone will be asking Shane’s where’s Rick? Shane acts the Same way Rick did not saying anything. Daryl will speak saying he killed him because the the last they saw Rick he was with Shane when looking for Randal. Glenn will back saying he remembers they were together as well. This will cause a conflict between the group screaming and arguing at each other. Lori asks Shane directly if he killed Rick. Shane will mutter yes but try to justify it saying he tried to kill him first, Carl will break down crying and everyone else will be shock. Darly will tell everyone follow him and leave him.Shane continues trying to convince the group Lori slaps Shane,telling him don’t follow us as she comforts a crying Carl. The group walks away as Shane is left the standing by himself rubbing his head.

[@LeeDragonGT]

I genuinely think Negan would have killed Shane. I think your right until then but Negan would not want Shane to be alive.

[@omr1172]

Bro just dropped a masterpiece

[@sevenstarred77]

I actually think Shane would have gotten along with Michonne because Michonne was hella badass and practical and good for the groups survival and Shane was all about😅

[@DefaultProphet]

Rick dying instead of Shane is the most boring option. Like Shane leaves and the show becomes about 2 separate groups of survivors who occasionally have interactions but have their own separate problems. Like keep Shane’s group somewhere in the deeper south, maybe Florida or Louisiana or something. After Rick breaks under Negan’s threats to Carl he has to go to Shane for help.

[@SAMOS-ts5vy]

Technically Shane did survive. Longer than he did in the comic.

[@melissaschaecher251]

If Shane lovers actually thought about they would know that Shane would be with the bikers that claim shit. I mean look how fast he claimed Lori and Carl and how he thought Lori didn't have a choice.
