spent the whole night watching the show and gave it three stars. I flipped through the first three drama reviews. The polarization is more serious, and the advantages and disadvantages are almost covered, but I personally feel that there is something missing.
Before "The Walking Dead" was filmed into a drama, I had watched more than 20 episodes of comics (thanks to God Slayer's Sin). At that time, I could only describe my love for this work by being obsessed. Before I saw this work , "Resident Evil" is almost all of my zombie worldview, but this "The Walking Dead" immediately took me through the shackles, thrilling plot, shocking humanity exposure, and deep and sound lines! Rick's sentence "We are the walking dead!" that Rick grasped on the prison fence was inscribed in the heart of every "moving fan" like a awakening saying.
The comics have been so successful. First of all, the remake into a TV series has confirmed a large number of ratings. The facts have also proved that the show has been a great success from its inception to the present. Will follow it without hesitation... Of
course, in terms of the plot alone, the comic-based "The Walking Dead" has almost no pressure. Although the TV series has changed a lot of plots, it still keeps pace with the comics in the general direction, including The recurrence of many classic scenes (such as the beheading of Herschel by the "Governor", the tortured in the comics is Taikasi; another example is the zombie mouth of the young woman and the bear child Rick met in Ideal Town).
However, as a derivative drama "Fear of the Walking Dead" does not have the inherent advantages of "The Walking Dead". The derivative drama only inherits the world view setting of the main drama. So, all the plots can only test the level of the screenwriter. After six seasons of "The Walking Dead" "The beaten screenwriter team won't at least hand in a negative assignment, right?
Let me talk about the advantages first. The screenwriter did not deliberately imitate the "The Walking Dead" model, focusing the contradictions on survival and human characterization, as well as a large number of battle scenes. Instead, the plot focuses on the missed history of Rick’s hospitalization and coma (this comic does not mention it, the first season of "The Walking Dead" is basically a copy of the comic), which depicts the Los Angeles area in detail. The process of complete collapse: gradual and frequent attacks; large-scale riots; military and police suppression; army disintegration; separate things... It can be said that as a test, this point is not bad, and it has effectively alleviated the "action". Fans have experienced the tiredness brought by seasons of "The Walking Dead: Survival in the Wild".
Since it was so miserable before the Rick team, the contradictory points naturally returned to the impact of the parents' shortcomings and disasters on civilization. The character setting is also okay. The male and female protagonists are both teachers, the protagonist has been divorced, and both the pro-son and the reorganized child are in a rebellious period, and so on. This series is designed to create contradictions. Once these contradictions in life are thrown into the vortex of disaster, what kind of waves will it produce? Here I have to scold those audiences who have a God’s perspective to follow who is going to die. , Once on the Internet, they are pervasive, these people = racial discrimination + the upper brain of the worm + full of hostility)
