The Walking Dead has officially announced that it will conclude its eleventh season. "The Walking Dead" has a special feeling for me. This show opened the door for me to watch European and American dramas. Since the third season, I have been chasing the show for eight years. Although according to the comics, it is speculated that "The Walking Dead" is likely to end in the eleventh or twelve seasons, but when I learned the news, I was still a little disappointed.
Affected by the epidemic, the final episode of the tenth season of "The Walking Dead" was not broadcast until recently. At the same time, the second spin-off drama "The Walking Dead: The Outer World" also meets with you.
Although it is a spin-off drama, I have no expectations. Because you want to get to The Walking Dead's heights, or have been, let's put it bluntly: Impossible. This is also a piece of advice I give you: don't compare "The Outer World" with "The Walking Dead", watch it as an independent work, watch it as a teen drama, lower your expectations, so as not to hurt yourself .
The background of "The Outer World" is set ten years after the outbreak of the zombie crisis, and a relatively perfect order has been re-established in some areas, aiming to slowly restore the life before the disaster. The two little women live in one of these new beginnings - the Omaha campus community.
Allies are necessary for development, and Omaha formed the "Tri-Cities Alliance" with Citizens Republic and Portland. Lieutenant Colonel Elizabeth, the representative of Citizen Republic, came to the Omaha campus community for scientific exchanges to promote the better development of the alliance.
Although ten years have passed, some wounds are not destined to be forgotten. Although the two sisters, Iris and Hope, seem to be living happily, their mother died of apocalypse ten years ago. That night also left them with mild PTSD.
After his father Leo went to Citizen Republic City, he only communicated by letter, but Citizen Republic City was too mysterious, giving people an unreal feeling. Mysterious letters for help, the mysterious corpse of a psychiatrist, and the arrival of Elizabeth exacerbate this sense of distrust, and the sisters begin to doubt the authenticity of Citizen Republic.
Coinciding with the annual anniversary of the Omaha campus community. As an extra mention here, I learned from Elizabeth that this is the tenth anniversary of the cataclysm, which means that this community has a high probability of having established and held a memorial day in the first year of the cataclysm. Compared to the reconstruction in The Walking Dead, it's really unreal. Really one is heaven and one is hell.
As the president of the high school student council, Iris needs to speak on the stage. After multiple incidents that made Iris question the so-called "reality", after a heartfelt speech, Iris decided to find the truth for himself. So he embarked on a journey to find his father with his sister Hope, two little friends Silas and Elton.
At the end of the first episode, the Omaha campus community falls.
At present, "The Outer World" has nothing to do with "The Walking Dead" except for the large frame or zombies. The previous article also said, do not make comparisons, and do not report high expectations. Setting aside stereotypes, the quality of the premiere episode may not be bad, but it's by no means what a thousand people would say.
The problem of slow pacing doesn't seem to exist to me. In one episode, the background of the whole play, the main line and the main characters are explained, and many big holes to be filled in the later stage are buried, such as the real face of Citizen Republic City and where Leo is.
Whether Elizabeth is friend or foe. The fall of the high school community is a conspiracy or an accidental disaster. If it is a conspiracy, what is the purpose behind the conspiracy? These are all interesting points to watch.
Personally, I think the biggest problem with the first episode is that it talks too much. Everything has been explained clearly. Do the remaining episodes really depend on these little bear children playing around? An episode of fifty minutes, forty-five minutes of spring outing to chat about life, and the remaining five minutes to advance the plot slightly. To fall into this mode is torture.
Inevitably, "The Outer Worlds" will be as focused on the infighting between the major powers as "The Walking Dead." Zombies become supporting roles, and the struggle between people is the main course. This is also impossible. After killing zombies for ten years, can you still kill zombies? Even if I love watching zombie movies again, the zombies will be immune to killing too many.
But "The Outer World" is not like "The Walking Dead" where the protagonists are a group of adults. Four children are involved in a struggle between a group of adults, trying to destroy the hidden threat, how to think and how to violate. So how to handle the bond between four teenagers and a group of adults is crucial. As long as the relationship between "small" and "big" is properly scheduled, I believe this spin-off drama can also shine.
As early as five years ago, "Fear the Walking Dead", the first spin-off of "The Walking Dead", met us. If "Fear the Walking Dead" is the son of "The Walking Dead", then "The Outer World" doesn't even count as an adopted child. It can only be said that a child was picked up outside and named as an elder out of humanitarianism. surname.
Although the idea is good, the banner of the "Walking Dead" spin-off can expand the popularity. The fathers who have already become famous can let the younger generation enjoy the advantages of innate resources. Standing on the shoulders of giants can indeed see farther, but falling is indeed worse.
