Climbing a mountain of bloody corpses and dying in peace - "The Walking Dead Season 9"
Today, let's talk about the American drama "The Walking Dead Season 9".
The film title The Walking Dead Season 9 (2018), alias The Walking Dead (Hong Kong) / Infernal Road (Taiwan).
When AMC's "The Walking Dead" reached its eighth season, the audience generally felt that the plot was very stretched. In order to create contradictions to promote the plot, the normal IQ of the protagonists was lowered abruptly, and even some of the main actors were killed.
These actions made the audience complain, and the ratings for the eighth season also hit the lowest point since the show's launch.
It may be dead and alive. With the bottom of the eighth season, the ninth season has a feeling of bottoming out.
It can be seen that the world of "The Walking Dead" focuses on ordinary people. Before the disaster, everyone was ordinary people engaged in ordinary occupations. It is these ordinary people of all kinds who have to face the sudden wave of zombies.
I haven't seen an organized army until now, either it's been around forever, or it's been destroyed. After all, zombies can't survive a round in front of the steel torrent at all. When filming TV series, it is still necessary to focus on ordinary talents. There is no dramatic conflict in unilateral crushing.
In the post-apocalyptic world where zombies erupted on a large scale, those with less ability and weaker wills were swept out early, and those who survived to the end were elites with extraordinary qualities.
When the elites like Rick met the Negan Group in the eighth season, their IQs were collectively dropped, which made the audience feel unacceptable.
In the ninth season, the protagonists encounter another group of extremists, the "Whispers".
Since zombies cannot take the initiative to complete evolution, arrange some psychologically strong people to "help" zombies evolve and become talking "zombies". I believe that people with normal aesthetics will think that Whisperers are very perverted. Just looking at their appearance has already challenged the aesthetic limit: wearing a mask, wearing a corpse, holding a dagger, hooking the back, it is not too obscene.
Whisperers are all-round perverts, not only perverting themselves but also pulling others to pervert, otherwise they will destroy others. Their trump card is to mingle in the tide of zombies, control the direction of zombies' movements, and threaten other forces with this. When weapons are scarce and ammunition is scarce, the zombie tide is a nightmare for any force. Without the firepower of an established army, it cannot be stopped at all.
In contrast to the gangster-warlord-style villains of previous seasons, the Whisperers are a bunch of anarchic opportunists. On the surface, they submit to a specific leader Alpha, but in fact there is no clear program of action for Centrifugal Germany, and they are only forced to accept this abnormal way of living due to the high-pressure rule. As long as there are sufficient living resources, low-level whisperers will definitely abandon Alpha without hesitation. The difficulty is that Alpha has a strong means of control.
Born in distress and dying in peace, this sentence describes the protagonists very well. After walking all the way in the mountain of blood and corpses, defeating waves of powerful enemies, and finally finding a place to settle down, they obviously want to enjoy a comfortable life and lack the fighting spirit against the looming danger.
In times of crisis, someone needs to be able to wake up their peaceful fantasies. When Negan is strong, Rick and his gang can work hard; what will Darryl and his gang do when the Whisperers ride on their heads?
No matter how clamorous the characters are on the screen, the zombie apocalypse is only a fantasy created by cartoonists, and the big guys will eventually return to real life.
The main characters such as Rick Rick and Maggie Maggie chose to leave. Carr's Chandler Riggs is for school; Rick's Andrew Lincoln's reason is to take care of his family in England, where the children are still young and need company; Maggie's Lauren Cohan is said to be for Pay, and finally left halfway.
Similar to "A Song of Ice and Fire", "The Walking Dead" enters the routine of killing the main characters to advance the plot. Except for those actors who left for off-site reasons, the rest depends on the mood of the screenwriter. When Carl was written to death, a large number of audiences shouted that it was unacceptable, and now in the ninth season, the screenwriters started to kill the main characters one after another.
In this season, a large number of characters received lunch boxes, and the whisperers at the end of the season were even more cruel. Many high-profile and old actors received lunch boxes, which made the audience feel cold. However, the screenwriter also kept an eye on it. He didn't go away on the road of abuse. He added a "highway gang" out of thin air, and added several tool people to make up the number. In the line of ten heads left by the Whisperer, tool people occupy a lot of positions. Compared with the death of a large number of main characters in the comics, the TV series seems to be less abusive.
The feeling of this season is too bitter and bitter, and the first few episodes have focused on preaching. It is too idealistic for a group of people to want to restore human civilization in the absence of infrastructure and industrial base. Without a sufficient population base and a corresponding industrial chain, all they can do is to exhaust the last bit of human civilization. A group of zombies, a cold wave can easily destroy them.
As the continuation of Rick's spirit, Judean's performance was quite eye-catching. When he appeared, he was as valiant as the young master of the Xiong family. The good times don't last long, and the new villain that everyone will visit in a few days of peace will be tortured to death. At the end of the season, everyone was suffocated.
Based on the experience of previous seasons of The Walking Dead, two seasons generally seem more appropriate. Usually, the previous season was abused and the season after the fight back, it seems that this season will be watched together with the tenth season, otherwise you will have to wait a year.
Climb the mountain of bloody corpses and die in peace,
Back to natural disasters and man-made disasters are born in sorrow.
