The Walking Dead: 5 lessons she can learn from Fear The Walking Dead

A few months before the release of season 8 of The Walking Dead, back on the teachings she could draw from her prequel Fear The Walking Dead.
While it was announced to you recently that another main character was going to be absent of the first episodes of season 8 of The Walking Dead , today it is intrigues of the series that we will speak. Indeed it has been a few years since the prequel of the series to the very recognizable title Fear The Walking Dead is also broadcast on AMC. If the first seasons have not been entirely convincing, we must admit that season 3 starts well and has so far avoided many traps in which his older sister fell, especially in terms of episode focused on a single character . What kind of teachings could the Walking Dead get out of the spin-off?
The importance of new characters
The base group of The Walking Dead has often been expanded with new characters, which are usually introduced as cannon fodder more than as potential heroes. Most Woodbury survivors were used to die during the prison epidemic, many of the Alexandrians who were killed by the Wolves or Saviors had not really aroused our interest … The Walking Dead takes the time to Develop very few characters on the dozens of new faces that are seen arriving regularly, which makes their dead little or even very predictable . Fear The Walking Dead spreads a little more about his characters and because of the “normality” of the Clark family and the many dialogues,
The plot yes, but the characters also
The Walking Dead, based on comics, sometimes makes his characters act strangely to stick to the plots to come. Why did not Rick, who repeats that they all form a family, go and get Andrea after their flight from the farm? Why did not Carol share her worries more during the prison epidemic? Because the progress of the series sometimes requires behavior that does not correspond to the character of the characters. In Fear The Walking Dead, the characters sometimes act stupidly but in accordance with their personality. Writing seems more organic and the plot does not guide everything.
Learn rhythm
Fans know it, The Walking Dead tends to drag along some intrigues to better stick to its schedule. Season 7 proved to be transitory to begin the real war against Negan in the 100th episode of the series and score the blow. Moreover, the great actions always seem to take place in the episodes 1,8,9 and 16 with, in the meantime, sometimes a bit of trouble . Fear The Walking Dead has not yet made the same mistake with certainly a rhythm sometimes inconstant but at least has the merit of being unpredictable.
Risk taking
Obviously, difficult to innovate when one must follow the outline of a comic read by millions of readers. But what makes the Walking Dead strength is also its weakness since we unfortunately still find the same stories so far. The group finds a refuge, then gets attacked, finds itself on the road, finds refuge etc. By remaining confined to the vicinity of Atlanta and then Washington, the series leaves little room for novelty . Fear The Walking Dead offered us a season that was almost entirely on a boat, an episode in Spanish to stick to the culture of his characters … in short, what make us travel a little.
The dialogues
The more the seasons pass, the more the dialogues of The Walking Dead lean towards the utility rather than the expression. The characters speak to inform themselves or to motivate themselves through discourses so familiar that one could foresee the words. Rick, we know you’re a family, you ‘re screwing with the wrong people , you’re gonna kill Negan … We do not deny the impact of these pretty speeches, especially at the end of season 7. But Fear The Walking Dead makes his characters speak like real people, who sometimes say things that are useless or have nothing to do with the zombie apocalypse . There is no such thing as identification and therefore attachment to them.
All that being said, we know that it is easy to find faults and we still remain big fans of The Walking Dead. The adaptation of comics is a complex exercise that the screenwriters have still succeeded so far and we are eager to see the continuation. Waiting until this fall, our critic of the last episode of season 3 of Fear The Walking Dead is still available on melty. What do you think ?

The iPad 9.7 inches was revealed yesterday by Apple. But what differences does this small price tablet have with its predecessor the iPad Air 2?
The 9.7-inch iPad offers a lot of new features and could boost sales of Apple tablets . But then what differences with one of the previous models stars, the iPad Air 2 ? First of all, the new iPad has an A9 chip as opposed to its older brother who owned an A8X chip. The promise of better performance for those who would go on the side of this new low-cost iPad . Despite a screen the same size for the iPad Air Pro 2 and the iPad 9.7 inches, the latter is much heavier and thick (6.1mm against 7.5mm and 32 grams in addition). A very slight difference, but which can still be crucial for the most looking.
The biggest difference between the two is still the price. The 9.7-inch iPad will be more low-cost with a starting price of 409 euros for 32 GB in Wi-Fi version. Its equivalent on the iPad Air 2 costs 70 euros more. A good way to get a powerful tablet without breaking the bank before Apple goes to 4K screens . To finish on similarities, the iPad 9.7 inches also has the Touch ID, the Apple Pay, a design specific to Apple iPad etc. In short, if you give up for this model, you will not be really disoriented! Apple should succeed with its new strategy to increase sales of its product whose numbers are only declining over the years.

The Walking Dead: 5 times where the series did not do like in the comics … and so much the better!

Meanwhile the Season 7 season of The Walking Dead, back on those times when the series moved away from the original comics to do even better.
There are only a few days to wait before the return of Rick and then we hoped it would be finally happy in the rest of the season 7 of The Walking Dead , it now offers a little background. The series is based on the comics of Robert Kirkman and it is this story that the writers to write the following episodes, but sometimes they move away from the original source and do even better . Do not hesitate, if you are familiar with both media, also share the differences between the two that you enjoyed.
More Shane
In the comics, the death of Shane Walsh is rather fast and Carl kills him to protect his father before they even arrive at the farm of Hershel. Suffice to say that the series has opted to stay a little longer for the former cop and that is not displeasing to us as the tension between Rick and Shane proved to be a key part of Season 2 , not to mention Of the night of Shane’s death, apotheosis of a dramatic situation to the possible. Shane’s presence as an anti hero has allowed Rick to assert himself and harden to become the leader he is today.
The tragedies of the Grimes
As many know, in the comics The Walking Dead are sometimes much harder than the series, and this is particularly the case for the history of Grimes. In the comic strip, Lori gets killed in prison soon after giving birth to Judith. When she gets shot by a soldier of the Governor, it falls on Judith and kills by crushing . Suffice to say that as tragic as it was, Lori’s death in the series remains a little less trash. Moreover to see Carl killing his own mother also allowed his character to evolve and to harden suddenly.
Carol the badass
Speculation about Carol and her fate in the series have already made much talk. In the comics, Carol can not regain a foothold and commits suicide by letting eaten by a zombie then refusing the help of his friends to save . In the series, Carol became an incredible warrior who mastered the art of survival. His small empty passage in season 6 asked some questions about his mental state and the possibilities for his plot to join that of the comics. But she seems to get back on foot at the Kingdom and hopes to see her still fit in several seasons.
Terminus
The plot of Terminus does not exist in the comics and was therefore only written for the series although it is inspired by that of the Hunters. This addition has given us a treasure hunt on track and an incredible explosion thanks to Carol that we are not soon forget , so it was still a good thing here to get away from comics. Having a common destination allowed the group to meet up after the prison and offered us interesting subgroups with characters who are less used to interacting.
Abraham’s Respite
Rather than die in Season 6 of an arrow in the eye, Abraham spent his lap and let this death surprised to Denise . This not only surprised the fans – including readers – even though the death of Denise was to be expected given the development of her character. But it also offered us a raw season even more bloody than expected with the deaths of Glenn AND Abraham. In short, to say that those who did not have spoiler had to be well surprised! Meanwhile whether this will happen again in the sequel, we listed for you the 5 most touching moments of The Walking Dead . And you what do you think ?

Like the movies, series annoy a little the fans of the books of which they are inspired

Adapting a book to the screen necessarily entails taking some liberties. This does not fail to elicit some criticism from those who have read the books.

Game Of Thrones
Readers of George RR Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” saga can not help it. Of what? To emphasize the fact that the series that is cartooning now, and for a while now, is moving away more and more from the original story. The characters killed prematurely or completely invented, no Lady Stoneheart (I say no more on this character in case) or the plot of Dorne after the death of Oberyn … Knowing that the series has now sold books and Continues its own way, there’s way that it leaves very far. The spectators will still be like eggs, that’s for sure, it will not change.
The Man in the High Castle
In science fiction, if you like to read, Philip K. Dick remains one of the bosses. All his books make you slap, and inspiration can only give that a surprising and original audiovisual work. After that, you have to do it, which is a great challenge. Difficulty recognized by the showrunner , too. Differences from the book? The series focuses on the story for the New York symbolic and crazy images, adds hateful Nazis at will (or Kido Inspector John Smith), invents a sister Juliana to give more importance to what she had begin.
You obviously remember the complicated relationship between Toby and Spencer? This subject kept you in suspense, you talked so many times. And bah in the book, you do not find that. Toby never hits Spencer. On the other hand, he lived a brief history with Emily, struck his sister being young and would die of overdose from the first volume of the novel. Another diff ‘, Alyson was targeted by a conspiracy, which is not found at all on the screen.
Outlander
When you base yourself on a novel, you are constrained and forced to shorten, concentrate events, condense intrigue. Unless you swing a saga of ten 8-hour films. At the risk of scaring 99.9% of the spectators or playing with the health of those who will try the blow. Thus, the relationship between Jamie and Claire is not as developed as in the first book of Diana Gabaldon . And season 2 does not start at the same time as the second book, in order to make the story more powerful, more comprehensible, under the advice of the novelist for the blow. Like what, it is not only bad will on the part of filmmakers.
The basis remains the same: one is 100 years after a large-scale nuclear accident. Apart from that, the differences are multiple and those knowing the book and the series tends rather for the second once is not customary. A little less focused on young adult disorders or romantic relationships, the series rather give more importance to deeper themes as our ability to survive in such a scenario and deliver a moral history of our species.
It was the reference among the teenage series, and in a justified way. Pleasant to watch, fun, the series perfectly meets the expectations of its audience. Maybe even too much, in the sense that the creators have made any softer, more superficial than in the book . Everyone is beautiful, cared for, dark elements or tension creators (like the bad character of Serena) are ignored: Cecily von Ziegesar had to see something other than her book at times.
Good and not so good. Or else regret and understanding. For example, season 1 could have been quite different. While Dexter ends up killing “The Ice Truck Killer”, in the book the latter gets out and continues to fuck the brothel at regular intervals in history. Maybe hot to manage level script ‘. On the other hand, the fact that Dexter asks himself if he is not himself this serial killer – supposing that he becomes another during his absence and has no recollection of it – was really stylish and we would have liked to see . Good initiative of the series, let’s recognize it: to give a much more important role to Angel Batista. Do you have other examples of a little (too) different series of books?
