There is such an American drama, which used to be all-powerful and can be called the leader of the American drama industry. No one in the American drama circle knows it.
But with the lengthening of the front line, few people ask about it now that it has returned.
The former glory is no longer there, and now it seems to be accompanied by only the word "unfinished" ...
Indeed, the first three seasons can be called classics, the fourth and fifth seasons are also quite good, the sixth and seventh seasons are quite satisfactory, and the eighth season is generally sloppy...
but! Judging from the just-returned ninth season, it seems that there is still a great possibility of "rebirth" in this drama!
Just after one episode aired, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has soared to 96%↓
But in the end, is it a blood-bathed rebirth, or a return to the light, a mule or a horse, we lead it out for a walk...
The Walking Dead Season 9
The Walking Dead
Before introducing the content of the ninth season, Xiao Tan would like to tell you a story:
Once upon a time, there was a policeman named Rick in Atlanta . He was seriously injured on an official duty and was in a coma after being admitted to the hospital.
I don't know how long it took, when he woke up again, the whole world had become a doomsday invaded by zombies , and there were lying and walking corpses everywhere.
The first thing Rick did after coming out of the hospital was to go back home to find his wife and children. As expected, the home was already empty.
At this time, he felt very at a loss for everything in front of him...
What happened to this world?
Why are there ruins everywhere?
Why can a half-human dead corpse still move?
With a confused look, he didn't even know that the zombies were coming over, and he even greeted them. Fortunately, he was rescued by a father and son. (whose father is Morgan)
Morgan told Rick everything that happened in this world and taught him how to kill zombies.
After a little adjustment here in Morgan, Rick embarked on the road of finding his wife and children...
He first came to the city center, but he didn't expect that he would be surrounded by zombies when he arrived, and he could only hide in a tank.
Fortunately, the delivery boy Glenn went online and saved Rick's life↓
Glenn took him back to his squad, which had come out to collect supplies and was now trapped in a building by zombies.
After getting to know each other, Rick learned that this squad has a larger camp in the suburbs.
After a thrilling self-rescue, the group finally managed to escape the building and set foot on the road back to the base camp.
After following the team back to the base camp, Rick was pleasantly surprised to find that his wife and son were also here↓
It turned out that his good brother Sean rescued his wife and son when the disaster began.
So far, the first "Walking Corps" composed of Rick, Brother Nuo, Glenn, Sean, T-dog, Andrea and others is considered to be initially formed.
But the good times did not last long. Shortly after Rick arrived at the base camp, the position was attacked by zombies.
The attack caused them heavy casualties, and Rick had to lead the others on the road to survival.
They heard there was a CDC that was a good shelter, so the group went all the way to the CDC.
But it was discovered by the CDC that it was no different from the outside world, and there was only one survivor left.
In the end, the CDC was also razed to the ground, and Rick and his party could only find other shelters again.
Although the previous episodes are thrilling enough, the real journey of doomsday has just begun...
Since then, new people have been joining their team, and old people have been withdrawing. In this apocalyptic world, they have been looking for a way to survive.
They have traveled to farms, prisons, terminals, new communities (Alexandria) and many other camps, and have experienced warm help, life and death, deception and betrayal...
But no matter what happened, they came over with each other's support, and, as the story progressed, each character had undergone tremendous changes...
Rick
From an apocalyptic cop who woke up, he became a reliable leader of the team.
Although the loss of his wife made him sluggish, and the loss of his best friend made him feel guilty, he still gritted his teeth and persevered in order for the team to survive.
Even though his favorite son Carl received the lunch last season, he still took the overall situation into consideration, followed Carl's last wish, and tried his best to lead everyone to rebuild a civilized society.
crossbow
The second-in-command, who is always reassuring , has always been willing to assist Rick.
During the period when Rick was sluggish due to the death of his wife, the team basically relied on him to function normally.
The biggest change is that the hair is getting longer and oilier, and the weight is getting fatter, just like this↓ (Hahaha)
Karl
Although he grew up in the apocalypse, experienced all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, parted ways, and saw the dark side of the world, his heart has always remained kind.
He not only became the main force of the protection team, but also accompanied Rick through the most difficult time.
The kind-hearted man has always believed that human beings do not have to fight to the death, that each camp can coexist in harmony, and can rebuild a civilized society.
Although he received the lunch, his departure undoubtedly had a huge impact on Rick, and it also had far-reaching significance for the entire [Walking Dead] trend...
Kama
Kama's change is undoubtedly the biggest, from an ordinary woman who was subjected to domestic violence to a team leader with a high fighting value.
As a member of the team, she, like Brother Crossbow, has been contributing to the team without complaint.
Although she was once exiled , when the team was in danger, she saved everyone without saying a word. She is a well-deserved "God of Cards"!
Glen & Maggie
Speaking of the two of them, Xiao Tan just wanted to put them together.
One is Glenn , a takeaway , and the other is Maggie , the farmer's daughter .
After an accidental encounter, they fell in love and knew each other, and their love for each other gave each other great strength.
As the story progresses, they all become braver and stronger, becoming the backbone of the team.
Although Glenn's departure gave Maggie a heavy blow, Maggie became stronger because of it, not only survived well, but also became the leader of the mountaintop...
In addition to the above important figures in the early stage, the knife girl, Contra, Sasha, Rosita, and Tara who joined in the later stage have also become important members of this big family.
Moreover, they all became the main force in the team, and followed Rick to lead the rest of the team to survive.
On this road to survival, they have encountered many villains, but the most impressive is undoubtedly the Governor who appeared in the third season↓
There is also Negan in the seventh season↓
The Governor not only caused huge losses to Rick's team, but also killed Herschel, the soul of Rick's team↓
Compared with the Governor, Negan is even more serious. He killed the audience's favorite Glenn and Contra as soon as he appeared on the stage.
After that, the reputation and ratings of The Walking Dead began to decline sharply...
In this regard, Xiao Tan just wants to say to the screenwriter: It's time! Let you do it!
From the beginning of the seventh season to the end of the eighth season, the story has revolved around the feud between Alexander led by Rick and the Salvation Army led by Negan.
These two seasons are also the two most embarrassing seasons in the history of Rick's army. They were almost completely abused by the Salvation Army...
In addition to Alexander and the Salvation Army, these two seasons have joined groups such as Hilltop Village, Kingdom of God, Scavengers and Widows Village .
Until the end of the eighth season, the scavengers except the leader Jandis were destroyed by the group↓
The rest of the group teamed up with Alexander led by Rick to defeat the Salvation Army, Negan was captured, and everything looked back peacefully...
Season 9 Episode 1
A New Beginning
After the disaster, each group suffered heavy losses. Compared with the rush of previous seasons, this season's focus is on "post-disaster reconstruction".
Rick is inspired to lead everyone to rebuild a peaceful and equal civilized society.
That's why the first episode of Season 9 is titled:
"A New Beginning "
Perhaps, this name is also a pun , which means that this will also be a new beginning for [The Walking Dead]...
I believe that fans who have watched the first episode have noticed that the first refreshing thing about this season is its brand new title.
The addition of more brightly colored titles also seems to suggest more hope...
Not much to say, let's enjoy it ↓
The opening time of the ninth season is set a year after the end of the eighth season, when Alexander, the Salvation Army, the Peak Village, the Kingdom of God, and the Widow Village have been living in peace for some time.
Alexander is still led by Rick, the Peak Fortress is led by Maggie, the Salvation Army is managed by Brother Nuo, and the Kingdom of God and Widow Village are also led by the original leaders.
But on the surface of peaceful coexistence, the underlying contradictions have never faded away.
The Salvation Army still has remnants who believe in Negan↓
Brother Crossbow and Maggie couldn't completely let go because they were hurt too deeply by Negan and the Salvation Army.
Therefore, the contradiction between them and Rick gradually became obvious↓
Although they no longer have a powerful enemy like Negan at this time, it seems that it is easier to disintegrate the internal contradictions accumulated to the limit.
Will the conflict between them be so big that it collapses?
Will Rick's ideal civilized society come true?
We will wait and see...
With the consistent tone of [The Walking Dead], the first episode must be thrilling, and this episode is no exception.
At the beginning of the first episode, a lot of zombies appeared, sitting, lying, standing, hanging, everything...
There are also various ways to KO zombies, and there is one arrow to kill↓
There is a whirlwind leg down and then make up the knife↓
There are also couples who double kill↓
Thrilling scenes are even more indispensable, such as Ezekiel who fell into the zombie pile and almost died↓
And Maggie who was almost assassinated↓
correct! There is also a main character in this episode who received a lunch box . Guess who?
In addition to the above, this season has begun to sprinkle dog food again after a long absence.
Kama and King Ezekiel are just so sweet ↓
Emmm, Xiao Tan has been a fan of the "Nuka" CP for eight seasons, and she has become a good girlfriend who can talk about everything↓
There is also the husband and wife team of Rick and Knife Girl, who are abusing single Wang all the time↓
For the old fans of [The Walking Dead], this season is full of joys and sorrows...
The good news is that in this season, the three characters Sean, Herschel, and Sasha who received the lunch box before will all return in the form of flashbacks.
Sadly, the two veteran starring Rick and Maggie are about to leave , and they are expected to leave before six episodes↓
Although the popular male god Brother Nuo is about to be promoted to the protagonist , without Rick's [Walking Corpse], I always feel that there is no soul...
And Scott Wilson , who played Herschel, also died of illness a few days ago. [The Walking Dead] S9 has become the legacy of the old man...
Although I didn't wait for the last work to be released, I believe that all [The Walking Dead] fans will remember that there was once a spiritual leader of the zombie team.
His name is - Herschel.
As for the ninth season, there are actually a lot more to watch...
The imprisoned Negan, the yet-to-be-showed Whisperer, the mysterious team and helicopter that appeared in last season, and more are all problems to be solved...
Judging from the episode aired so far, it's still something to look forward to.
It is reported that the tenth season of [The Walking Dead] has been scheduled, and it is no surprise that the director of the tenth season will be Rick's Andrew Lincoln.
In the end is the return to light, or rebirth from the ashes?
I just hope that the zombie fans won't be disappointed again...
(Backstage reply walking, watch the film together)
