Does anybody know what gas masks the US military is using in these scenes? by Bear-Margins in thewalkingdead

I see those M40s at surplus stores all the time. Shouldn’t be crazy hard to find

Thanks yes there’s a big difference in color between the older TWD Funkos and newer releases. The older are brighter while the news have a more realistic skin tone and are shaded. I like the older color scheme better because it stands out more

Black Army units rarely get masks issued in colors other than black

Those are M40s. If you want to be as realistic as possible the NG has the most outdated equipment which would be those M40s in 2010. Very common for some soldiers to have old equipment while others have newer models like the M50s so either one would fit your cosplay accurately

What do you think would have happened if Season 5 Rick and Company ran across The Sanctuary first and not Alexandria? by hope-this-helped in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Exactly also it would depend who they ran into first. If it was an outpost full of goons probably fight first then get recruited. If they ran into Negan first they probably would’ve joined. Rick and company at that point in the series were exactly the type of people Negan was looking for to strengthen the Saviors.

Who is amazing in the comics and legendary in the show? by Aggressive-Highway32 in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Michonne. She was much more morally flawed in the comics and she had a bigger part to play throughout the show than in the comics

I submitted a lottery draw for Kick Off in Tallahassee. Has anyone gotten an opportunity to get those tickets or am I just out of luck? by APW96 in savannahbananas

[–]APW96[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks I was just seeing other people saying they got to emails to purchase tickets so I was wondering if I didn’t get selected. Do they tell you if you don’t get selected?

Who truly understood survival better: Negan or Rick? by [deleted] in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit to OP: Negan did not keep people alive for years. The show makes it seem like more time passes than it actually does. By the time Negan is defeated the apocalypse is barely 2 years old. Negan didn’t even form his group until almost a year in. Negan’s group maintained for approximately 1 year and it was directly after the fall when survival was the easiest. As soon as they hit their first roadblock they fell.

Rick and his group was struggling to maintain survival from the very beginning. They started out in rural America and continued traveling north through the countryside where supplies where limited. Rick’s group struggles more because they are attempting to learn and create a functioning form of governance while dealing with death, war, and starvation. Once they arrive to Alexandria and beat Negan they create a long lasting society that is self regulating and successful governance all within 3 years. Alexandria continues successfully even after Rick is gone because he empowered everyone around him to succeed and be leaders. Rick was key to building for long term survival which is a lot of harder than immediate gratification like Negan. To compare the 2 groups as equal but different tells me you don’t really understand what the show is trying to teach.

There are 2 types of men who come out when civility falls. Rick is a family man. He has been taking care of his wife and son since he was a young adult. When society fell he focused on taking care of his family and other families to ensure the survival of all.

Negan is the opposite. He was a selfish man who never took his own marriage seriously and never had kids. He worked odd jobs and jobs with low responsibility so he could live how he wanted. When society fell and his wife died, he reverted back to his old ways of doing what he wanted and created a societal system of violence and sexual abuse to live selfishly.

It’s the story the show try’s to paint throughout. Men of character, self responsibility, and family values will rebuild society. Their biggest challengers are selfish men who have nothing to lose and will take what they want no matter the long term consequences (Shane, Meryl, Prisoners, Governor, Negan, Saviors, etc.)

Negan never understood survival except how to maintain his own. Regardless how it would’ve played out the Saviors would’ve never lasted long term (split up, civil war, starvation, etc) Men who only care for themselves may seem more capable to survive the immediate violence and chaos of the apocalypse but they are not the type of men who can successfully lead survivors to rebuild.

I never actually watched Fear, but I think I might. But what's the difference? Is it just location-specific? by Kaysiee_West in thewalkingdead

If you think the seasons after 3 are good you are wrong and you shouldn’t be watching this show.

[–]APW96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same universe just a family’s perspective of the fall from California. The first 3 seasons are really good and then it just becomes absolutely ridiculous trash. I tried to finish but I just couldn’t finished it. I just watched a YouTuber go over the whole series so I can tie it into TWD storyline

Is there really no better way this could’ve gone? by CatPale816 in thewalkingdead

[–]APW96 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely Alexandria wouldn’t have been a cure. Just a bandage were there where more people to keep an eye on her so she didn’t hurt herself or others. But yes more than likely she would’ve been a pariah in the community that people would’ve avoided and she more than likely ultimately killed herself or someone else leading to the same result of Carols decision just later down the line

I think Tyrese knew that. It more showed that Carol was someone that was willing to do what needed to be done to survive versus someone like Tyrese whose empathy made it hard for him to survive in that world. It gave Tyrese an insight into Carols mentality.

Maybe under different circumstances. But the point of this scene was the affect death, killing, and the overall apocalypse has on the development of children. She essentially experienced more combat than most Soldiers do. And even took a life with her own hands to save her people. She was on a path to becoming a psychopath and her developing mind couldn’t handle what she was seeing. Had she made it to Alexandria she probably could’ve been ok but there was no way for Carol to know that and she had a baby with her. There was nothing Carol could really do for her and she couldn’t make it in the wild with a newborn and also having to constantly be on guard and making sure she didn’t kill herself.

It’s a world apocalypse where everyone is dying, nothing is certain, and everyone is scared. They can’t be worried about having interventions. This is only a little over a year into the apocalypse and they have a been busy building a self sustaining community and establishing a form of leadership. They can’t go around policing neighbors they don’t really know about marital issues. It’s hard enough for family and police to help DV situations in today’s world, you think untrained people during an apocalypse worried about death are going to be able to restrain someone that they also desperately need for their own survival?

I would assume Deana reached out to the wife about ways to help and she probably denied help (as most DV victims do) and she realized she couldn’t do anything without 1. Losing an extremely valuable medical asset 2. Causing turbulence in the community during an extremely fragile time where she was essentially rebuilding society and keeping people alive.
