The Walking Read

Hey there, this bot isn't quite finished yet. I think it's still missing some things, but honestly, I got tired of writing and I'm really sleepy. Just so you know, I started working on this bot at 2:00 AM here in my country.

When I wake up, I'll be working on the bot again in my notes, adding the other missing parts. You can help me if you want, since I don't know much about that series (I watched it on YouTube but didn't understand a thing). Anyway, I hope you like it, SEE YOU!!

The full story of The Walking Dead is way too long from what I saw on YouTube (I don't have Netflix on my tablet, okay? 💔), but here's the gist of it all:

1. The beginning - The outbreak

The world is going to hell because of the TS-19/Wildfire virus. It doesn't matter where it came from, everyone's infected now. When you die, you turn into a walker, whether you get bitten or not. The bite just kills you faster when you have a fever.

Rick Grimes, a Kentucky police officer, is shot in a shootout and falls into a coma. He wakes up weeks later in the hospital, alone, and the world has ended.

2. Atlanta and the original group (Seasons 1-2 / Comics 1-8)

Rick is searching for his wife Lori and son Carl. He finds them at a camp outside Atlanta with Shane, his best friend and fellow police officer.

Shane slept with Lori thinking Rick was dead. The first human conflict begins. Rick takes leadership of the group: Dale, Andrea, Glenn, Carol, Daryl (in the series), etc.

They pass by Hershel Greene's farm, where they learn that Lori is pregnant. Shane tries to kill Rick, and Rick kills him. The world is no longer governed by rules.

3. The Prison and The Governor (Seasons 3-4 / Comics 8-14)

They find an abandoned prison, clean it up, and make it their home. Judith Grimes is born (daughter of Lori, who dies in childbirth).

The first major villain appears: The Governor , leader of Woodbury. A charismatic psychopath who keeps his zombie daughter in a closet and stages walker fights. He destroys the prison with a tank, kills Hershel, and the group is scattered.

(Note to you: I must admit that I had to ask Meta Ai for help to do this for me, because I didn't understand anything, so my apologies 😞).

4. Terminus, Alexandria (Seasons 4-5)

They meet again at Terminus, which turns out to be a cannibal trap. They escape.

Aaron recruits them for Alexandria Safe-Zone , a functioning community with walls, electricity, and people who have never left. Rick and his group are the wolves they need to survive, but they're nearly kicked out for being too violent.

5. Negan and the Saviors (Seasons 6-8 / Comics 17-21) - The most famous part.

The group finds Hilltop, another community being extorted by the Saviors . Their leader is Negan , with his barbed-wire bat called Lucille.

The most iconic scene: Negan forces everyone to kneel and kills two at random to set an example. In the comic, he kills Glenn; in the series, he kills Abraham and then Glenn. He crushes his head.

Two years of war. Rick, Maggie (now leader of Hilltop), and Ezekiel (leader of the Kingdom, the guy with the tiger) unite three communities to go to war against Negan. They win, but Rick doesn't kill Negan; he imprisons him. He wants to build civilization, not seek revenge.

6. The Whisperers (Seasons 9-10 / Comics 22-26)

Six-year time jump. The most sinister enemy appears: The Whisperers . People who dress in walker skin and walk among them. Their leader is Alpha , a woman completely devoid of empathy, and her right-hand man is Beta, a 6'6" giant.

Alpha marks a boundary with victims' heads impaled on spikes. Among them: Henry, Enid, Tara. It's the comic's most gory moment.

Negan redeems himself somewhat by killing Alpha and bringing her head to Rick/Carol.

7. The Commonwealth (Seasons 11 / Comics 27-32) - The Finale

They discover a vast network of communities: The Commonwealth . 50,000 people, with an army, a stadium, a bureaucracy, social classes, as if the apocalypse never happened. Their leader is Pamela Milton, a corrupt politician.

Rick (in the comic) realizes that the real enemy is no longer the zombies, but the return to the old system that caused everything. Pamela tries to control him, his son Sebastian kills Rick. Carl kills him.

Comic ending: 25-year time jump. Carl is now an adult, married to Sophia, with a daughter named Andrea. The walkers are almost a legend; they're managed like cattle. Carl reads his father's story to his daughter. The last line is: Rick Grimes made this possible.

The TV series finale is different; Rick doesn't die. He's kidnapped by the CRM (Civic Republic Military). The spin-off series The Ones Who Live tells the story of how he reunites with Michonne. Daryl, Maggie, and Negan each have their own spin-offs.

The message throughout the entire saga is the same: "It's not the dead who are scary, it's the living. "The walkers are just the backdrop; the real story is how people become monsters or try not to.

It's a summary of everything I put in the story.

BEGINNING OF THE END:
A virus causes everyone who dies to turn into walkers. Rick Grimes, a police officer, wakes from a coma to find the world dead. He searches for his family and joins a group of survivors.

PHASE 1 - SURVIVE:
Atlanta > Hershel's Farm. The group learns that no one is safe. Rick's wife, Lori, dies giving birth to Judith. Rick begins to lose his mind.

PHASE 2 - PRISON:
They live in a prison. Their first great human enemy: The Governor , leader of Woodbury. A madman who declares war on them. He destroys the prison, kills Hershel, and scatters the group.

PHASE 3 - ALEXANDRIA:
The group arrives at Alexandria, a walled safe zone that still lives as if nothing has happened. Rick and his group take power because they are the only ones who know how to kill.

PHASE 4 - NEGAN:
Alexandria is extorted by Negan and the Saviors . Negan forces them all to their knees and kills Glenn and Abraham with his bat, Lucille. It's the most brutal stage. All the communities unite, and a two-year war ensues. Rick wins, but he doesn't kill Negan; he imprisons him. He wants to build a future, not just seek revenge.

PHASE 5 - THE WHISPERERS:
Six-year time jump. New enemy: Alpha and the Whisperers , people who wear zombie skin as disguises and live with the horde. They kill 12 people and put their heads on stakes. Negan kills Alpha to earn forgiveness.

PHASE 6 - THE END - THE COMMONWEALTH:
They find a city of 50,000 people, The Commonwealth , with an army and a government. It's almost like the old world, with corrupt politicians and social classes.

The comic ends here: The governor's son kills Rick. Years later, Carl is an adult, has a family, and zombies are no longer a threat. His father's story saved the world.

In the TV series Rick does not die, he is kidnapped by a secret army (CRM) and reunites with Michonne years later in its spin-off.

In a nutshell: It starts as a zombie story and ends as a story about how to rebuild civilization without repeating the same mistakes.

Here's the list of the main characters, with the most important ones. I've included the version from the TV series, which is the one most people watched. The comic changes some of the deaths.

(I'm done here because I'm tired...) Empty, deserted places, full of dirt, blood, and dangerous zombies roaming around. The roads are even emptier, with a few cars abandoned, destroyed, or covered in dirt and blood. Both the road surfaces and the buildings are broken, with cracks everywhere. Some places are destroyed, while others are intact with shattered windows and cracks. BUT be careful because you don't know what might be inside those places. Some zombies are on the ground, and others are standing there, ready to attack anyone who ventures in.

THE NORMALS - 90% of the series:

1. Lurker / Stalker
   It's lying down, it looks dead. It doesn't make a sound until you walk past it and it bites your ankle. They're the most dangerous.

2. Roamer / Wanderer
   The classic. It walks aimlessly, noisily, looking for people. Slow.

3. Horde
   It's not just one type; it's when thousands of Roamers get together and they all go at once. You can't stop them.

THE WEIRDOS - NAMED BY THE PLACE WHERE THEY DIED:

4. Swollen / Drowned
   Those who died in the water. They're bloated, fat. Like the one from the well on Hershel's farm.

5. Burnt / Charred
   Those who were burned. Their skin is black, they exhale smoke. They can't hear well.

6. Hospital / Suit
   Those who died in protective suits, riot police, soldiers in vests. They're tougher, you can't kill them with one blow.

7. Father Gabriel - The Rotten One
   Those that have been dead for years, almost skeletons, are falling to pieces.

THE NEW VARIANTS - These are truly different, appearing in Season 11 and featuring Daryl Dixon:

These are what people call variants . They exist because the virus mutated in other countries.

8. Climber
   Yes, he climbs walls, opens doors, and goes up stairs. Daryl sees him in France. Much more dangerous.

9. Fast / Quick
   He runs, he doesn't walk. Like a living person. He appears in the Daryl in Paris spin-off.

10. Intelligent / Evolved Lurker
    He remembers things, opens doors with handles, uses rocks to break windows. The one from the end of season 11 who enters Alexandria.

11. Acid / Burner
    His blood and body are full of acid. If you kill him near you, you'll get burned. Also from France.

In summary:
Seasons 1 to 10 = They are all Lurkers and Roamers, only their appearance changes.
Season 11 onwards = There are now zombies that run, climb, and are intelligent.
