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 ?

Out of curiosity, we want to know how it goes. How you live, what you feel. While knowing that it is shit … And these (successful) movies show us well.
Watching movies is also a way of living things – if only by proxy – that we do not know. And, eventually, we do not want to know. Grief, pursuit, dismissal, deceit, sickness … or prison. The majority arrive unfortunately to almost everyone, sooner or later, while going to prison, normally one can avoid it. So to learn more, we can watch these films, which give us different points of view, tell us different stories.
The escapees
Andy Dufresne is a banker and a good man. By mistake, he finds himself in jail, sentenced twice to perpetuity (history of being safe, huh), found guilty of the murder of his wife and her lover. In Shawshank, he met Red, with whom he became friends. But also the brutal chief warrant officer, Captain Byron Hadley, ready to beat up the detainees to death … Given his template, his pedigree, his cv, Andy is also the target of other inmates . Bad weather. Finally, it will not go too bad and I let you reread the title to find out more.
a prophet
Nine Césars in 2010, following the Grand Prix of the jury of the festival of Cannes of 2009, it already poses the trick. In this film by Jacques Audiard, we see a young delinquent of 19 years old Malik arriving in a prison controlled by a Corsican clan and its leader, Cesar Luciani. Before surviving, getting accepted, attracting by the protection and the network of the old, Malik humps for him. It then changes completely of scale … until to take the top . The evolution of the character amazed us, as well as the risks of placing a man in prison, with wolves much worse than him.
Midnight Express
The lure of gain, and the risks that go with it. William Hayes enjoys his vacation in Turkey with his girlfriend, Susan. Then, on his way home, to the States, he said to himself that it would be nice to bring back a little souvenir, and to make a penny … Two pounds of shit on him, that the airport controllers find before That he did not embark. Ouch. First sanction: 4 years. Second for the example: 30 years . In a prison in Istanbul, known to be so far from an all-inclusive hotel in the Seychelles that a real Australian chocolate bread, here at home. The worst part is that it’s inspired by a true story, the autobiography of Billy Hayes.
The Prisoner of Alcatraz
To give a feeling of freedom, of poetry, to a film that happens between four walls is a challenge. Inspired by the life of Richard Stroud, we see a Burt Lancaster simply exceptional … At first young and revolted, full of hatred, his incarceration will push him to change, to find calm and redemption , via his passion for the birds. Which brings him the feeling of freedom he so badly needs. Add the music of Bernstein, and you swim in full beauty.
American History X
The disasters of hatred, of blind vengeance, the destruction of a family. To chialer. After his father firefighter was killed by a black LA dealer, Derek Vinyard becomes a neo-Nazi skin. And when two blacks try to steal the case of his late father, he stumbles without blinking . Boum, 3 years of taule … and small miseries that make him understand that he has dismayed. When he leaves, he wants to start from scratch, except that his little brother Danny has followed the same path … Fuck, bitch of life.
The green Line
You love a prisoner, John Coffey, you hate a guard, Percy Wetmore, you admire the guardian, Paul Edgecombe, you want to kill a devil, William Wharton: you have emotions in this film adapted from a novel by Stephen King. Without crumbling, all the human cruelty, the injustice of life, judicial errors are there . Alas not totally compensated by mercy, tolerance, respect, given the atrocious end of several characters, including our John Coffey, whom we will never forget. Which one did you most?
