This article involves some spoilers of the "The Walking Dead" comic. If you are following this comic and have not yet caught up to the latest chapter, please read it carefully.
In May's "The Walking Dead" comics, there was a heartache for fans. Yes, Rick was dead. He was shot to death with a gun by a character who had just appeared. Like most fans of TV series or comics, I can hardly believe that the leading figure in Alexandria just left.
But this did happen, and comic author Robert Kirkman certainly knew that this story would have an important impact. Will this scene appear in AMC TV series or movies? We will analyze this below.
Robert Kirkman's explanation
comic "The Walking Dead" spent a lot of space to pave the way for Rick's death, and in the end he died in the hands of a teenage character. Robert Kirkman recently wrote a statement about this matter. In this statement, he stated that he had prepared for "Rick's death" for a long time.
Rick’s death plan is more difficult to start than the death of other characters in this comic. I have prepared a very long time for this, and even included it in the plan when I started to create this comic. This did not make it easy to write this story, but as time goes by, from years to months to weeks... I know it's time.
To be fair, this is not a completely unexpected thing. Robert Kirkman has long said that he once wrote a rough draft describing the ending of "The Walking Dead" he wanted. There is no doubt that Rick is not in the ending he expected. He may have thought about several important future moments long ago, waiting for the best opportunity to present them.
More importantly, Robert Kirkman even thought about who would take Rick away. He said: “Before we introduced Sebastian Milton, I thought about letting him Kill Rick. Rick will definitely protect the Federation at all costs. He has long thought about paying the price of his life." In the
TV series "The Walking Dead", Rick lost the audio after being taken away by a helicopter. We don’t know whether the follow-up plot will continue in the direction of the comics, and we are not even sure whether Rick will return. But Andrew Lincoln, the actor of Rick, did say that he would not return to this TV series. He has shifted the focus of his work to the filming of the movie version.
Next, let’s analyze together, how the death of Rick in the comics will affect the TV series and the movie version of The Walking Dead.
Will Rick’s death happen in a TV series or movie?
We have always thought that Rick will have a good ending in TV series because he is still alive in the comics, but the recent chapter of "Rick's Death" makes us less optimistic.
As mentioned above, Rick temporarily left the drama version of The Walking Dead, and the movie version he is currently involved in will tell the story that happened after he left. Will this story appear in the movie? Robert Kirkman did not respond directly to this question in an interview on TV.
I don’t like speaking on TV shows because it has nothing to do with this series. Coincidentally, Rick left in the TV series this year, even though he was not dead. Therefore, I think it is necessary to publicly declare: Rick’s departure in the TV series is not an echo of Rick’s death in the comics. As I said, this is the product of a long-term plan.
In any case, Robert Kirkman cleverly avoided a positive response to whether Rick's death would affect the movie version of The Walking Dead. According to the current trend of TV series and movie versions, we don't even know whether the "Federation" that Rick desperately protects will appear.
Although Robert Kirkman’s answer is evasive, but this answer still provides the possibility for Rick to return to the TV series. Since Rick’s departure does not echo the "Rick’s death" in the comics, then if he did not die in the movie In the version, he is very likely to return to the TV series and die.
It sounds like Rick’s death in film and television works has become inevitable. I mean, so far, TV series have been following the pace of comics. If there is not much change in the next season, they will smoothly merge Brought into the plot, then Rick’s death is almost impossibleAvoid, unless the show ends before the relevant plot comes.
The tenth season of "The Walking Dead" will return in October this year, and the film version of "The Walking Dead" has not yet started shooting. At the same time, however, the spin-off drama "Fear the Walking Dead" seems to have a lot to do with Rick's future destiny. What kind of ending is waiting for Rick? Let us wait and see.
